GOOD ORE ON THE HOT TAMALE

We learn from good authority that
Ralph Myers, who owns the Hot Tam
ale mine, located on Michigan noun
tain in Silver Creek district, made
a shipment OF a load of smleting ore
last week that returned 140 ounces
gold, or $4,000 per ton. This has
been an abandoned claim for years,
and was relocated by the present
owner last summer, and justifies our
predictions, that hundreds of our old
abandoned mines and prospects, If
relocated and worked, will prove to
be as great producers as amy that
have already been opened up. The
north and west portion of the coun-
ty is known to have many rich veins
and but little attention has been
paid them until recently. Glpin
county is truly great county for
precious metals and, if its citizens
will assist the Observer in enlight-
ening foreign investors of our great
mineral wealth, we will not only have
capital offered us for mining purpos-
es, but see the completion of the
Pactolus railroad. Let us hush our
mummering and get down to business
and we will soon be too busy to even
think of knocking.

SARATOGA DUMP is LEASED

Liberal leasing terms have reached
the Clear Creek county mines at
Idaho Springs John Owen, resident
agent for the Saratoga mine on Sea-
ton mountain Ia former heavy pro-
ducer) will sign lease this week,
whereby a man named Rowe will Sc
cure the privilege Of working the en-
tire dumps Of the property, as well
as running the many old slopes in
| the mine. Rowe announces that he
will at once put work under way in
the construction of cyanide mill
that will have an initial capacity of
fifty tons. This plant will be locat-
/ ed near dump No. 2, where it is es-
timated there are $4,000 tons Of ma
terial available that carries average
values of $3.50 a ton.
Rowe has been engaged in samplins
the dumps of this mine for the past
beknown to the owners. he has been
treating lots Of six tons each at a
small plant at Black Hawk. So sue
cessful has he been in extracting the
| a lease on the dumps and put up a
mill at the seat of operations, thus
doing away with the transportation
charges.
II this mill proves the success that
is claimed by Rowe, a new era will
dawn regarding ore treatment in both
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties. The
old idea that the ore of this section
of the state is not amenable to cy-
anidization seems to have been dis
PEELED. Rowe is an old Cripple Creek
mill man and claims that he has solv-
ed the problem for economical treat
ment. as well as a much heavier saw
ing OF values than is now affected in
the various mills of the Idaho Springs
district.
Denver men are to finance the
proposition and 1t is hoped to have
the plant in operation inside of six
ty days.
We are pleased to inform Captain
Smith that the Saratoga mine is in
Gilpin county. in'the Russell district.
This mine has produced several mil
lion dollars worth of gold in the past
and most OF It's low grade ores are
lying in the slopes yet. The first
dump has been thoroughly sampled
two or three different times and 1t
goes from and 12 to nine dollars
per ton. This mine has been produc-
ing for 81 years and there are hum
dreds of thousands of tons OF ore
in Slopes and In the dumps. that
