The 200 million dollars worth

The 200 million dollars worth OF
precious metals that have been TAX
en- from Gilpin county were taken
from the mines around Black Hawk.
Central City, Nevadaville and Rus
sell Gulch. It's whole area would not
cover over four square miles. When
the early prospectors came, they
found the gulches and adjoining hills
around these towns SO rich with the
yellow metal, that very little atten-
ton was paid to the outlying dis
tricts. Those who came after follow
ed in the wake of the pioneer pros
pector and confined themselves to
this small scope of territory, with
but few exceptosn. In recent years,
some attention has been given to
the exploring of the vast country ly-
ing north of Central and Black Hawk
Those who have gone to this new
field and located mines upon those
mammoth fissures that everywhere
abound, are beginning to realize the
fruit from their labor. The Moffat
road now reaches this rich network
of lodes that lay dormant for many
years ON account of the impossible
roads and long haul to Black Hawk.
The mines now being worked have
sufficient ore bodies to warrant mills
at their dump and three new mills
will be in operation before winter
sets in. Our county commissioners,
keen to realize the great possibili-
ties, have spent many thousands OF
dollars In the past few months. build
ing new roads and repairing old ones
Before many years, northern Gilpin
Will be the great producing end OF
the county.

The Lucania group OF mines, locat-

.ers. The Sternberger brothers have
large holdings in Russell Gulch dis
trict, lying along the line of the tun-

will proceed to develop some OF them
through the tunnel. The Emmerson
mine at the head of Graham Gulch,
is cut by the tunnel at great depth
and has large bodies of ore Of med
Jun grade exposed, and by working
it through this tunnel, all the ore
can be handled at profit.

Hermann G. C. Thafehrn, a French
metalhrgist of Paris, is here look
ing over the county. He is authori-
ty on pitchblende ores and the ex-
traction of radiqlm therefrom. He in
forms us that from five to six tons
of the pure ore is all that is mined
in Austria annually. also that the ore
is disseminated throughout the gang
and ds not associated with other
ores as it is in this country, neith-
er does i appear in solid form. Their
crevasse from wall to wall averages
about three per cent gross, which is
concentrated (by a special prOcess)
to about seventy-eight per cent His
visit here is not only to investigate
our pitchblende ores. but to purchase
them.
The pitchblende mines that are al
ready opened will produce more tons
of ore (5O and go per cent? annually,
than all Of Austria, besides our thous
ands of tons OF low grade concen-
trating ore that will be marketable
when mills are erected for that pur-
pose. The uses OF radium are still
in their infancy. and the human mind
cannot conceive the possibilities of
it's future in science and medicine
and we Of Glpin county should be
proud that we have within her bor-
ders mineral that is attracting the
attention of scientists of the world.
Pure radium is valued at $2,250, 900
per ounce.

of the new manager, he would take
up the best room or suite Of rooms
in town at the very best hotel
and at once resolve himself into a
committee Of one and proclaim him.
SELF as the boss booze-fighter in the
town, and perhaps the mine would
SEQ him once a week for a few mo-
fneiits and perhaps not. Management
similar to this is what has closed
many OF our mines When parties
take hold OF these old mines and
put al the head one who thorough
ly understands mining, they almost
invariably prove success. Let us
form more home pools and soon our
county will resound with the hum OF
industry.

A good Joke comes from Denver.
A certain retired business man Of
our city has an elegant room and a
bath at one of the fashionable hotels
there. When he leaves for the noun
tains he gives strict orders to the
chambermaid to allow no one to use
the bath during his absence. The
other day he returned and saw evil
dence that his bath had been used
in his absence. Hastily summoning
Mary, he reminded her of his order
and angrily asked why his order had
been disobeyed. Mary. with tears in
her eyes, acknowledged that she fe!t
like taking bath during his absence
and thought that she had been par
ticular in destroying all evidences oi
guilt and begged his pardon. The BIZ
hearted fellow, seeing those crocodile
tears suddenly relented and kindly
scid. MARY. / forgive you with al
my heart but. my dear. you ought tic
never do anything behind my bacl
you would not do before my face.

The few survivors OF that noble
band Of pioneers OF 1859 and 1850,
who had the harddhood to blaze the
trails through our then trackless val
leys. held a meeting at the court
house Wednesday. Sept. 18th. There
are only seven of them left in the
county, five of whom attended the
meeting. Chase Withrow was elect

The Bates mine, on Bates hill. just
above the Polar Star mill, was one
of the early producers OF the coun-
ty and In those days was very pro-
ductive, but through mismanagement,
was closed down % years ago and
allowed to fill with water. In March.
1912, a portion of 1t was leased to the
Bates leasing company, a local pool.
composed Of men who knew how to
run a mine. They proceeded at once
to, unwater and place 1t in first class
shape before attempting development
work, with the result that they are
now shipping regularly to the smell
ter and mill Their smelling ore runs
from LED to $50 ounces gold besides
silver and copper. Their mill dirt
which varies from two to four feet
wide and goes to the concentrator,
comprises their main profits. This
lease is only a portion Of the Bates
ground and there are other shafts
and workings on the property. equal
ly as good.
The Troublesome mine on Winnie
bago hill is another mine that has
lain idle for many years. About
year ago, local pool leased 1t. plac-
ed dt In good shape and now 1t is
a regular shipper of high grade ores.
These are only few Of the mines
of the county that could be made
as good producers as they were In
the early days. Many Of the mines
were closed through mismanagement
and proves conclusively that you
mmst have man at the head that
understands his business, to make
success.
I'm days gone by. perhaps some cas-
tern banker would come out here and
purchase good producing mine. He
had kid-glove son whom he would
install as manager. On the arrival
Gilpin observer., 1913-09-25

Manager H. c. Bolsinger, OF the
Hubert mine, has uncovered a streak
of solid smelling ore on the 115O
level, west The streak is eight In
ches wide and assays 6.04 ounces IN
gold and AZ. 5.96 ounces in silver, and
1880 per cent copper, with two feet
of mill dirt alongside that is also
OF a good grade. AS almost every
thing around this mine Is in good
shape, look out for the Hubert to
take dts place IN the ranks OF the
heavy producers as dn days of yore.
Manager Bolsinger is certainly to
be classed as one of the great pro-
gressive men OF the county. When
our fruit raisers of the western slope,
men who perhaps had never entered
a gold or silver mine, introduced and
passed the law taxing not only our
gross output but our dilapidated and
idle shaft houses to their full orig
inal value. causing the gloom Of des-
pondency TO hang like cloud over
this once fair land, he rallied TO the
occasion and almost alone and unaid-
ed proceeded to open an old and ab-
andoned mine, that for the past 20
years had been pronounced as play
ed out. Mr.. Bolsinger began the task
OF unwatering this mine in the face
of jeers and insinuations. from many
of our old mossbacks, but he steadi-
ly persevered until everything was
in systematic form for development.
To-Day, the Hubert mine at Nevada
VILE shows fine streaks of ore in
each breast on the 1250-foot level and
a large streak of $50 dollar ore on
the 1150-foot level east. thus explod.
ing the theory that our fissures play
out or decrease in values as depth
is gained. Had we one hundred men
like Senator Bolsinger in our coun-
ty, to develop mines. this county
would again blossom as the rose.

INVESTIGATION Of
SHELTER TRUST

For the last two weeks complaints
coming from mine owners and les
sees who are compelled to do busi-
ness with the American Smelling &
Refining Co. and w. J. Chamberlain
and Co, eve say compelled, because
they are the only ore buyers in this
district) have become SO numerous
and the difference between the To-
cal and the smelter assays SO great
that dissatisfaction is rampant on ev-
cry hand. For the benefit of the
smelter trust, we will cite few of
the many recent complaints. One
party shipped lot of ore to the
Chamberlain sampler last week. Joe
kdmballs assay was .SS gold, Cham
berlain's assay was .76 gold, no set
tlement. Resampled in Denver by
George Ehrmick, who returned 80 in
gold, Chamberlain, "a gold Rickard
umpire at .S7 gold. Settlement made
on 81 gold. Another reads thus:
Joe Kimball's assay was 1854 ozs.,
gold; Chamberlain's 2O.46 ozs., gold,
Settlement made on 1896 ozs., gold.
Another lot: Kimball returned AS ozs
gold; Chamberlain 80 ozs. gold. This
car was shipped to Denver where it
was stopped and ordered sampled by
Ehrmhck, who returned .4S gold, thus
completely checking with Kimball's
control.
Now Mr.. Ore Buyer, we are of Yam,
kee extraction and the bump of in
quisitiveness is highly developed on
our chronological chart, and we wish
to PROFOUND to you several interrog-
atories- Why do you pay only eigh-
per cent fine on lots less than three
tons and nineteen dollars on larger
lots. when gold 1000 per cent fine
is worth $20.65 per ounce at our
ue of $50 per ton gross, be charged
nine dollars per ton for treatment,
when similar ores having value of
| twenty dollars per ton are charged
six dollars for treatment and 5000 ore
and upwards is charged at ten dol
lars per ton. Are not those prices
against the shipper of low grade
ores?
| And why do you deduct 1 and 1-2
per cent on copper and in addition
per cent off from quotations of cop
per on the New York market? Why
\ pena,ize the producer fifty cents for
every unit OF zinc over ten per cent
and why do you only pay the miners
of Gilpin, Clear Creek and Boulder
counties eighteen and $40 per ounce
for their gold, when all gold in the
Cripple Creek district is sold for
twenty dolalrs per ounce? Can it be
that our gold, 1000 per cent fine, is
different from gold 1000 per cent fine
in other places? Or are you trying
to wipe the three counties that made
Colorado off the map? These are
important questions and afford food
for serious reflection to a thinking
mind.
1t is to be hoped that at no dis
tant day you will enlighten your pat
rons, so that you may be placed irf
an unenviable light. You tell us that
If your charges are not satisfactory.
to take our ore some where else.
Where, l ask you, can we take it.
The Guggenheim trust controls every
ore buyer and smelter in the north
ern part of Colorado. Give us fair
profit for our labors and not try to
take all by subterfuge.

she knew nothing about them, or
anything that would throw Light on
the case. Asked II it would have
been possible for outsiders to have
placed the bodies there, she said it
would, as she would leave the house
unlocked. She said she had no rea-
son to believe that anyone would put
the bodies there, but declared that
they must have been placed there by
someone not connected with the fam
lily,
Dan Williams was recalled to the
stand. Said he knew the house oc-
cupied by James Winship. The Win
ship house was occupied by Charles
Niccum and family at the time Of
the death of Williams second wife.
The Niccum children were small at
the time The Niccum family moved
away two or three months afterward.
The neighboring house was then oc-
cupied by Jim Powell and mother for
a year. John Pursell was the next
tenant, with his wife and daughter.
Dick Williams next patched DIN the
place, and then James Winship NOV
ed in. The next closest house to
the Williams place is quarter of a
mile down the gulch. Williams test
flied that married daughter, Mary,
living in Kansas, visited a month
with him, but she was the only visi-
tor who was ever at the house any
length of time.
Joseph Walters was recalled by
one of the jurymen and was asked
If there was any dust on the quilts
when he moved them. He answered
that dust arose when he moved the
quilts but he did not know whether
it came from the quilts or the raj
ters.
A recess was taken until 1:3O.
when Rosella Williams was again call
ed to the stand. Said she had liv-
ed in the house up Clear Creek Is
years. Asked if she were a mem
ber of any lodges. Said she had
been a member Of two at one time
the Degree of Honor and Degree
of Pocahontas. Joined the Degree
of Honor shortly after her step
mother died, 16 years ago. Her men,
bership ceased six or seven years
ago. She quit the lodge, so she
said, on account Of the long walk to
the place of meeting Said she had
not been sick since her step-mother
died Asked if she didn't recall the
time when members of the D. of H..
paid her a sick visit. Answered in
the negative. Said the visit was
made when her step-mother was liv-
ing.
A recess was taken until $3.50 this
afternoon, for the purpose of sub
poenaing more witnesses.
Catherine Williams, the 17-year-old
daughter of Dan Williams, was plac-
ed on the stand after the $3.50 re-
cess. She said she had lived up
Clear Creek all her life with her
father and step-sister, but knew moth
ing of garret.
Dan Williams was also called again
In answer to questions put to him
by the deputy district attorney, said
he belonged to the Workmen at the
same time his daughter was membe
of the d. of H., and was suspended
at the same time. Didn't know that
committee had "called on Ut be-
tween Nov. 9th, 1906 and January in
1907" to investigate certain .eports
that had been circulated. Said if
bodies were in the garnet two years
age must have beer placed there at
the time he was living in the house.
Said he was not trying to shield
anyone, but didn't know who put the
bodies in the garret.
