THE DIFFERENCE

Bonanza strikes of ore are report
ed from several Of the mines of Clear
Creek county. 1t ts hoped that they
will prove Of large tonnage. Prosper
ity for our neighbors means added
prosperity for us and vice versa.
At the present time the distinguish
ing difference between ourselves and
our neighbor is that Clear Creek ap-
pears to be long on mills and short
OF tonnage, while we are In the pre-
dicamemt OF being long on ore and
short of adequate milling plants. But
this is soon to be overcome as both
counties are promised plenty to
fiil tfiedr respective needs.

The Hubert mine. under the man
agement Of II. c., Bolsinger, Is now
upwatered to point 40 feet below
the 95O-foot level. It is the intention
of the management tos> lease the
ground on the $50 now unwatered.
This will make room for at least 20
men. The Hubert mine with Its great
record has always consistently main
tained its values with depth. The
mine is to be unwatered to the pump
and the deeper workings operated on
the company account.

BIG PROPOSITION
TO BE STARTED

Robert L. Martin, the dean of mine
operators in this county, has taken
hold OF the famous Mountaim Lion
and Gilpin County lodes on Central
City hill These properties were
great producers of the precious met
ais prtor to the great inflow of water
on the 500-foot level which caused
mine operations to be suspended The
Mountain Lien and the Gilpdn County
lodes are on the same vein system
as the great Gnnnell mine which has
record of nearly ten millions of
dollars in the yellow metal. The
draining of the Gunnell by an upraise
from the Newhcuse tunnel level has
practically drained these properties
for the reason that they are on the
same vein system. Several hundred
tihoueerd dollars I'M ore values are
credited to the properties, having been
mined prior to the flooding. Compet-
ent engineers report in excess of
5000, 900 in sight in the mine today.
The property is equipped with com
moiious shaft house containing fine
plant of machinery all ready to steam
up. The only necessary equipment
needed Is an electric pump ITO care
fer the surface drainage, which will
be installed at once. The milling
ores of which there are vast quanti-
ties ready to be mined, are readily
accessible to the mill, the cost for
hauling being but SO cents per ton.
Mr.. Martin has contract to treat
the mill ores for s1.50 per ton. With
the electric pump installed and the
workings cleaned up ready for break
ing ore, these properties will once
more enter the list of the largest
profitable producers of the camp. A
corporation to be lmown as the Ec-
onomic Mining and Leasing company
is now being formed to operate the
mines. With man of the expert
ence in successful mine operation ats
Robert L. Martin possesses, to guide
the operations, success is assured
from the START.

G|LP|N COUNTY REAL SOURCE Of RAD|uM
WANTS OLD eILPIN
COUNTY RECOGNIZED
To the Editor of The Gilpin ooser

, To the Editor of The Gilpin Obser-
ver:-
Noticing In recent issue of "The
Pueblo Chieftain" an article discuss
ing Colorado as 1.-THE Radium Center
of the World, / was struck by the
statement: Grand Junction as the
center of the radium industry of the
world; western Colorado as the only
portion of the world where ores are
found from which radium can be Sc
cured, crediting Prof. A. w. For
stall, of Denver. as the authority.
Perhaps the article is inspired by
Grand functions well known desire
to divide the state in the presumed
hope that she would become the capi-
tai of the proposed new state. If
so, we say: go to it, old girl, we
wish you luck; but in your anxiety
for political preferment be fair.
| 1t is we'll known that the carno-
tite ores found dn Paradox Valley
are principally mined for their van
adium contents, the uranium they
contain being of so low a percent
age as to make it of secondary i'm
portance. 1t is also a fact that
there are mines in Gilpin County.
in the state of Colorado, lever hear
of itD, which are mining uranium
ores for the uranium they contain,
and in a high percentage, the gold
those ores contain being a secondary
product.
Were it not that the effects are
so serious. the bias shown by the
people of the state of Colorado, and
particularly the people of Denver, to
ward Gilpin County would be anus
explicit the other sections of the
state as to their various mineral.
horticultural or agricultural resources
and an apparently studied effort is
made to ignore Gilpin County in the
accounting; Gilp.n County that is the
corner stone OF the wealth of Colo
RADIO, that is the foundation of Den-
YER. What has it done to receive
the contempt and prejudice of the
rest of the state? Only added some
5000 100000 to the wealth of the
/ world, only began mining "a years
ago and in spite of the most unfair
treatment is still at it and will be
mining long after some of the other
boasted localities are dead and mere
memories. Only contains the mines
which are producing uraninite, a ur-
anium ore that contains from "a to
80 per cent of uranium, as tests have
demonstrated, far richer uranium
ore than the carnotite boasted Of
by the writer Of the article under
consideration-an say nothing about
1t. And only contains the greatest
tungsten deposits I'M the country, II
not in the world.
We would suggest to the writer
Of the article in the ''Chieftain", and
to the editor of that very valuable
paper, that they read an article on
"Carnotite in Paradox Valley. Colo. =.
by Thos. F. v. Curran, president OF
General Vanadium Co., of Baltimore.
Md, published in Engineering and
Mining Journal" of December 30th,
1911. They will find some very I'M
teresting information there. And with
all due respect, l would suggest to
Prof. Forstall that he visit the ur-
anium mines of Gilpin County, did he
make the statements that are credit
ed To him in the article referred IN
