The C. & S. railroad spends thous-
ands of dollars annually, in adver-
tising Clear Creek canyon and the
wonderful loop at Georgetown. The
canyon is truly awe inspiring to the
tourists. as they wend their way
through that narrow chasm and view
the great handiwork of nature. The
view. though grand, is confined en-
tirely within its narrow precints. II
the tourist wishes to view the noun
tains in all their beauty, let them
take a conveyance at Central City
and ride over the mountains and
through the forests of the northern
part OF the county to Tolland, the
designated eastern portal Of the Mof-
fat tunnel. AS the winding road
leads them to the summit OF those
lofty peaks. the eye beholds a series
Of changing landscape seldom equal
ed and never excelled in the his
tory Of mountain scenery. The main
range with its snow-clad peaks can
be seen from Wyoming to Pixies
Peak and the summer sunset cast
ing its mellow rays against this lofty
background furnishes an interesting
and ever-changing picture. The nation

Mr.. Rowe has been quietly test
ing these dumps In ten ton lots for
several months. and the results were
far better than was expected. 1t has
been said that our ores were too re-
fractory to be cyanided with any sue
cess, but Mr.. Rowe informs us that
he has been very successful In this
mode OF treatment, and has convinc-
ed his company Of its success. He
hopes to have his plant in operation
in N few weeks and II It. is the sue
