owned by A. r. Reynolds) has had
a large amount of development
work done and has ore broke and
sacked. This is mine and would
have been a shipper for years if
satisfactory contract could have
been secured under lease.
The Emma mine at Platoro was
located in August 1887 by L. Nc
Commons, w. d. Goehring, F. r.
Hitchcock on which there was a
good amount of development in
the early COS.
Good assays as high as $134 per
ton in gold have been made and
the dump shows $40 per ton. This
property has passed through sew
eral hands and was patented some
eight years ago.
Among the later discoveries may
be mentioned the Chas. Barnes
claim, which is an A l good prop,
erty. Mr.. Barnes is working and
developing it every day and by
next spring will have it opened up
In fine shape.
On the Lake Fork are the Con-
gress group and the Kerr group of
patented claims which were located
by Barney Allen.
James A. Kelly and partners
have 4 patented claims. The
Treasury is an extension of the
Merrimac and the Topsy and Col
den Egg extensions of the Man,
moth.
On the Alamosa river the Eury-
dice is good mine not near mined
out. This is silver producer.
The Acme-Globe group has been
pretty we'll opened and shows some
fine ore, similar in character to the
Mammoth.
The Asiatic and P. M. B. have
as complete mining equipment
as was ever installed and an i'm
mense amount OF work has been
done in driving tunnels to inter.

management expects to continue
work next spring and if they en-
counter the veins Of high grade
ore that have enriched Summit
vile the stockholders will have
bonanza.
Tho Gilmore Strike
The Gilmore strike was opened
up 20 years ago by Tom Harper,
who found the ore and put up a
cabin, but when times got hard he
went over into the San Juan and
from there back to Connecticut.
Below his claim Hastings had a
claim known as the Fraction which
run over the top of this ore. Ad-
joining are 3 patents owned by
Peterson.

The Earliest Prospecting

1t is not definitely known who
was the first prospector to enter
the Platoro district. In the sum-
mer of 1880 or 81, j. A. Kelly and
two partners outftted two men to
prospect in the west range and
they discovered the presence of
ore and located a number of claims
near the present townsite of Pla-
toro. Two of these claims, named
the Maggie and the Fannie, were
later known as the Parole.
About the same time, Riley Pat
ton located the Mammoth and ira
dition has it that he traded this
claim that was to produce a for
tune to James Walker and partner
Burris, for some grub which he
hauled to the valley to his family.
Walker and Burris were prospect
ing and hunting in the vicinity at
the time.
Soon afterwards Chas. Barnes
and his uncle, Chas. Scott, located
the Valley Queen, and character
nicknamed "Butcher-Knife Bilw
put his stake on the claim now
known as the Forest King.
These properties with the Mer-
rimac we're the first locations made
in the Platoro district.
Sales and Early Development
Some Swedes by name of Axel
came into the camp and purchased
the Parole. One year the ASSESS
ment work was not done and the
claim was Jumped" A. E. Rey-
nolds bought it from the jumpers
and compromised with Axel. Some
very good ore has been shipped
from this property. Reynolds de-
veloped it into a mine and then
quit-which seems to be the his.
tory of good many of his mining
ventures.
The news of the location of the
Mammoth became known over in
the San Juan and Jack McCarty
and Jimmie Fellows came across
the range on snow shoes and sue
ceeded in getting control of the
property under a lease and bond
or an option of some sort. A CON-
pany was formed and Walker and
partner received $4,000 for the
claim. In 1888 the company started
development work, and after run.

has been leased two times and the
lessees made good money. Subse-
quent efforts to lease have been
futile. Present owners are Hyman
and Hughes Of Denver.

known they have 100 feet of good
stopping ground of good ore and it
is safe to say there will be good
shipping mines in that locality by
August.
From Cripple Creek the Cres-
cent Co. has 7 claims and they are
going to work them. The Golden
Cycle has claims located there.
The man who perfected the
workings of the Portland mill at
Cripple Creek has located some
claims and intends to have them
worked.
r. P. Russell, recognized as one
of the best experts in Cripple
Creek, representing the Cartons
secured a group in the vicinity of
the Gilmore property and this un-
doubtedly means mining backed
by unlimited capital.
The Gilmore strike is not over
2 miles, the way the bird flies, from
the Summitville mother lode-and
the "line of strike" of the big vein
from which the rich ore was taken
out of Summitville, passes close to
the Gilmore claims.
There is other property in the
district belonging to men finan-
cially unable to mine extensively
who struggled along until they OBJ
tained a patent and then went
away to await the advent of capital
to open it up. There are over 100
patented claims in the district.
Great Activity Certain
While small amount of develop.
ment work has been carried on by
those who have confidence in the
fertility of the Platoro region, it
remained for the Gilmore strike to
attract foreign capital, and as soon
as the snow goes in the spring the
district will experience an activity
that was never dreamed of.
Not only will extensive mining
be carried on, but the great bodies
OF low grade ore should prove an
attractive proposition for custom
mills.
Power Possibilities
The Conejos river at Platoro will
supply all the energy necessary
for mining, milling and all power
purposes. Mr.. G. 8. Barnes, one
OF the best engineers in the coun-
try, has perfected surveys and
plans for an hydro-electric project
which will have ample capacity to
supply the Platoro and Summit
vile districts and the San Luis
Valley.

Charley said 5000; Weens asked
permission to send out another
batch of samples, but as the option
would soon expire Barnes refused
to wait, 30 the Aspen man paid
over the money. The mine was
put in charge of man who did
not understand running it and in
stead of drifting toward the ore
they drifted in the opposite direc-
ton, and a failure was made. 1t
is understood that the owner will
not lease the Valley Queen.
Platoro Camp
Platoro at one time bad 4 saloons.
2 big general merchandise stores,
6 boarding houses and hotels, and
in the district which includes Stun
ner and the territory around Stun
ner and Platoro, the population
numbered probably 1000 souls.
This was about 1889 and 1890.
For the past Is years or more
Platoro has been an abandoned
mining camp. The buildings have
been used as headquarters for the
cowboys who run their herds up
and down the Conejos river, and
by the campers and pleasure seek
ers who every year visit the place.
First Ore Shipments
The first ore shipments were
made by burro pack train by way
of the painted Trail" which was
a cut off from the camp around the
head of Fishers gulch down to the
Worlds Ranch.
Only the very richest of the ore
WAS sorted out and shipped in this
manner and even after the Toll
road was built tons of good ore were
thrown on the dump because the
mine operators did not want to
trouble themselves with shipping
rock that did not run into the
thousands.
Platoro District Today
From the foregoing brief enum-
GRAFTON of facts it is readily seen
that the mines in this district have
never been thoroughly exploited.
The Mammoth has produced
over S300,0OO and there is now
enough $500 ore already blocked
out above the tunnel level (which
is only about 4 of the aggregated
to run a 5O0-ton capacity mill for
"a years, as estimated by a number
OF experts. This is conceded to be
a low estimate.
The Merrimac lies on vein be-
tween the Forest King and Nam
moth, and has produced some good
shipping ore. A large body of
good ore exists in this mine.
