MINES PLANT COMPLETED.

Dr.. Victor C. Anderson, president of
the Colorado School of Mines, an
nounces that the new experimental
ore dressing and metallurgical plant
built for the school at Golden at
cost of S125,00O, will be opened on
July 1st. There is only one mining
school in the world, the Royal School
of Mines in London, which possesses
a similar plant
The Colorado School of Mines has
received praise from many of the
leading mining engineers and mining
magazines for this departure in meth
DDS of instructing students in the
practice and art O. metallurgy. The
plant also will be large factor in
the development of Colorado's min
eral resources.
The plant has been SO constructed
that every method now used fer the
extraction Of rebellious ores can be
demonstrated. thus giving the stu
dents knowledge which could other.
wise be acquired only by extensive
travelling.
The plant will be at the disposal of
the mine owner who is doubtful
whethers sto erect a costly mill. He
can send samples of his ore to the
school and the best form of treat
ment will be ascertained.
Inv h.
the plant to work out their ideas.

TROUBLESOME SHIPMENTS.

Shipments Of ore from the Trouble
some are demonstrating that this
mine is as good as it ever was and
is giving every promise of exceed
ing former records. Ore from the
stope, shipped May 31st-a lot of
1850 pounds-went LII ounces gold,
4.34 silver and 1.33 per cent copper.
1t netted the lessees s37.39 to the
ton. A lot of 1920 pounds from the
winze went 1.21 gold, silver. Net
value was $3.50 to the ton. Another
shipment made on the Sth OF this
month from the winze-7,09 pounds
went 1.66 ounces gold and 5.6S sill
Yer. The net value of this was s34.S2
to the ton. 1t will be seen by this
last shipment that the ore is getting
better as depth is being attained in
the winze.

BIG SUM AWARDED IN MINE SUIT

a case of more than usual interest
to mining community, and particu.
larly to this section where a mum.
ber of similar suits are pending and
Indications point to the filing of
more, was finished Saturday in the
Federal court, when the Smuggler
Union Mining company. Of Telluride,
received a judgment of s4O3, ,S532S
against the Liberty Bell Gold Min
ing company.
Reckless mining and willful tres
passing constituted the basis for the
verdict returned by the jury.
The Smuggler Union sued the Lib
erty Bell for 100000, declared to
have been the value of ore which, the
Liberty Bell company removed from
Smuggler Union claims.
The plaintiffs attorneys contend
ed the defendant had disregarded the
apex law, mined recklessly and tres
passed upon the properties of Snug
gler Union. They asked that the
Liberty Bell should be held for the
full value of ore taken out.
During the hearing the Liberty Bell
company admitted the trespass but
declared it was innocently perpetrat-
ed, believing the ore was taken from
ground thought to have been the
property of the Liberty Bell.

EDISON TREATMENT
PROCESS EXPLAINED,

Henry B. Clifford, one of the heav-
lest operators of the Gilpin-C Clear
Creek district, who has taken great
deal of interest in Thomas A. Edi-
sons new process for the treatment
of ores, writes the Observer the fol-
lowing letter, explanatory Of the Edi-
son scheme:
New York, June 10, 1912.
Editor Gilpin Observer,
Central City, Colo,
Dear Sir:
Referring to the recent press COM
ments concerning Mr.. Thomas A. Edi
sons efforts in the low grade ore
problems II you get an opportunity
would you kindly state that he is
not working upon solvent, such as
seems to be the prevailing impress
sion.
Over a year ago we interested Mr..
Edison in the question of an improve
ment in concentration, utilizing his
fine grinding rolls as the basis for
the presentation of shining. During
the past year we have made considr
cradle progress in making high saw
ings from the finer meshes, and also
in the general separation of the met
al In complex ores, dividing the lead,
zinc, iron and copper. by system
of concentration. These experiments
have been conducted in a large 100
ton-unlt in his laboratory at Orange,
but there. is yet considerable to be
done before we will feel justified in
erecting a practical plant.
Mr. Edison does not anticipate en-
tering mining or milling, hut by his
arrangement with ourselves, II this
improvement works to his satisfac-
ton, we are to attempt to CONNER
cialize it by erecting large plant
somewhere in the west, that thor
ough demonstration Of its practica-
bility can be made before offering
the improvement to the mining pub
lie. Mr.. Edison has made no claims
whatever, as We are still experiment
ing on the problem.
What desire more to impress, is
that he is not working upon a sol
vent; simply an improvement in con-
centration. Yours truly,
HENRY B. CLIFFORD.

SECTION OFFERS
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.

| There are numerous good opportun-
tiles in the vicinity Of Gilpin, in the
northern part of the county, for
those who would take a chance in
mining to make money. All that is
needed to bring this promising ter
ritory into prominence is a little cap
ital. Investment in the Gilpin dis
trict would not mean q long chance
with small indication of profit, but
just the reverse. The surface show
any part of the county. Those who
have holdings in Gilpin and vicinity
say, "All We need here is money for
developing and we can show as good
That there is already a good deal
oe work being done in and around
Gilpin, is apparent from the follow
ing resume:
Messrs. Murray, Niccum and Hard
ing. who are developing a group of
claims at the southwest end of War
Eagle hill, have opened four foot
vein of good milling ore at depth
of 40 feet. 1t pans we'll and they
ought to take out large quantity of
ore by the time they reach their
shaft, some 100 feet higher up the
hill. They have a group OF five claims
which the tunnel will cut at from
so to $50 feet depth, all of them
panning free gold.
The Golden Flint mine and mill are
woking two SHIRTS steadily and the
mill dirt is running over 10 ounces
to the cord.
Brooks Gibson is cleaning up a
cavern at the mouth of the Wizard
tunnel. He is getting ready for par
ty Of Chicago people who are COM
, ing out shortly to look over a group
of eight claims on War Eagle hill,
which the Wizard tunnel will cut at
depth of about 200 feet The tun-
mel is in over 700 feet and it is ex-
pected to cut one of the veins with
in few feet.
A party from Iowa are operating
the Swear Off claim and have lately
struck some good ore at the bot
tom of the shaft, which is about 80
feet deep. The vein is fully five feet
in width. These people are talking of
leasing the Peterson mill to treat
their ore.
Mr.. Stevenson and another gentle
man are stripping off the loan from
their placer gravel and are making
good headway. They now have all the
water they need for gulch mining.
The past three years they have been
short Of water. They are finding
some coarse gold and ought to clean
up g. fortune this summer.
Peter Peterson is in Seattle, visit
ing his cousin, Charles, who is very
sick. He is expected back this week,
when the mill will probably start op-
erations.

A NICE LITTLE CHECK.

Those interested in the Eccker &
Co.. lease on the East Notaway are
rejoicing over a settlement made last
week Of $1.040. This amount was re-
ceived for less than 20 tons OF ore
A run Of dirt is being made at the
Tucker mill which is expected to
yield another handsome profit. The
last mill dirt sent from this lease
gave very satisfactory returns.
