The Acme, as it will be known in
the future, the name having been sub
stituted for the Hoosac, will shortly
be the scene of as great activity as is
found at any property in the Idaho
Springs district
One of the most important and
richest discoveries at great depth in
the Cripple Creek gold mining dis
trict has been made on the property
OF the Gold Dollar Consolidated Min
ing Company On the eastern slope of
Beacon hill.
The tenth annual report of the Jer-
ry Johnson Gold Mining Company, for
the fiscal year terminating August
81, has been issued at Cripple Greek
and shows production for the year OF
1880 tons of ore with gross bullion
value of $S6,136.66
Reports of the American Smelling
Company and the American Shelters
Security Company for the last six
months of the fiscal year show a gross
income for that period of $6,671 GIL.
In 1912, for the same period, the gross
income was $7,5S7,942.
John Osgood and associates of Grip
PIE Creek leasing on the Herring
ton shaft, Isabella Mines Company,
has opened up new shoot for that
mine near surface, and loaded out a
shipment of ore, estimated at two
ounces gold, or about $40 to the ton.
Brandstetter & Co., leasing on the
Aetna vein at the Capital tunnel be-
tween raises Nos. 9 and 10, in the
Georgetown district, have broke into q
body of steel galena and yellow cop
per, from four to eight inches wide.
The ore is high grade and will mill
from $40 to $10O a ton gold, silver
and lead
A rich mineral find has just been
made at the Golden Glory tunnel on
Saxon mountain, near Empire station.
In driving the west drift on a vein cut
LAO feet from the portal of the tun-
mel, streak of solid ore six inches
wide was encountered that shows val
ues of 1.5 ounces gold, 83 ounces sill
yer and 80 per cent lead.
That the Cripple Creek mining dis
trict is to experience a revival that
will rival the marvellous development
Of it's early period is the prediction
Of prominent mining men, who for
months have been cognizant of new
development that has opened rich
ore zone where the veins formerly
seemed to be pinching out.
Production of gold in the United
States during 1912 amounted to $685.
451, 500, a decrease of $3,438,50O as
compared with the previous year, and
the lowest American production since
1907. California led the states in gold
production, putting out $28,00S,000;
Colorado came second, with $18,741,'
200, and Alaska third, with SIT, 1885, 800.
A new ore zone, rich in gold val
ues, at an altitude above sea level of
about $500 feet, is another marvel of
the Cripple Creek district, that has
been demonstrated in the last twelve
months, and the prediction of the
shrewdest mining men in Colorado
Springs is that ''the greatest gold
camp on earth" is to become greater
than ever before.
Sheriff Henry Won Phul of Cripple
Creek has sold the properties of the
Ramona Gold Mining Company, fif-
ten acres on Raven hill to E. S. John
son, former secretary treasurer of the
company, who lives at Colorado
Springs. The price was $13,S81. SO, the
amount of judgment and costs given
to Johnson as a creditor by the Dis
trict Court of Ell Paso county.
