DENVER'S 100000
H0T-A|R FUND

We notice an article in the Rocky
Mountain News of recent date, that
the Denver Clearing House and Busi-
ness Mems associations propose to
spend 100000 in margarine articles,
exploiting her magnificent and unsur-
passed climate. Denver, without a
doubt, has fine climate, but we no.
tice that they have frosts and snow
as well as we in the mountains, and
Colorado's fine climate, we always
thought, extended beyond their ten
mile boundary. Yes? Denver is for
tunate in having all kinds of air
They have the balmy breezes from
the gulf that sooth and invigorate, as
they are gently waited from Texas
sunny climes. They also have the
chilly blasts from Medicine Hat, that
occasionally swoop down from the
north, and paralyze their inmost
soul. They also have that rarefied
air known to all scientists as hot
air, upon which they have been feed
ing for the past three years without
success and with the result that the
population of Denver has decreased.
rather than increased.
There is an air that you can ad-
vertise in your magazines that will
revive your failing hopes and set
your wheels Of commerce in motion.
That is the air Of industry, notice
able in every mining camp from Wyo-
ming to New Mexico. And when the
winds Of mining prosperity blow, it
reaches your "city Of lights, and in
vigorates every industry. When you
are framing that literature to spread
broadcast throughout the land, Just
mention that our mountains contain
the treasure vaults of the world, and
every eastern capitalist can have a
key. Persuade them to come to the
mountains that look down upon your
beautiful city in solemn grandeur,
and unlock the vaults that will pour
their golden treasures at your feet.
Suppose you succeed in bringing an
Increased populati6h to your city
what is there to keep them. unless
our granite cliffs, that form nature g
sunset panorama, are induced to pour
forth their golden riches. Advertise
mining, the industry that built and
maintains Colorado, and your work
will not be in vain.

DEVELOP PROSPECTS

Gilpin county contains many mines
that were discovered in the days of
her fabulous wealth and were aband-
oned after sinking thirty or forty
feet, simply because the rich quartz
had played out and they did not un-
derstand the nature and treatment of
sulphide ores. Many of these mines
were discovered in the early sixties,
some of them produced rich quartz
at the surface and were worked with
success until they encountered the
sulphide, when they were abandoned
for other and more prolific fields. The
Montrose mine. located in Prosser
gulch, is an example. This mine pro-
duced immensely rich quartz its en-
tire length along the surface and
made it's owners wealthy, but when
the rich sulphides were struck and
the refractory ores refused to re-
spond to stamp mill treatment. the
mine was abandoned because Of a
lack of knowledge in the treatment
of this class of ore. This mine, af-
ter having had a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep for forty years, is again to be
worked and under present methods
of treatment, will undoubtedly pro.
duce large quantities Of high grade
ore.
This is only one Of many mines
that were discovered in early days
that produced high grade free milling
quartz, and when that was exhaust
ed the mine was abandoned. Recent
developments in the vicinity OF the
London mine show that several OF
those mines abandoned in the six
ties, are now in a good grade Of ore
and several mills are contemplated
for erection next summer. This Is
true of every portion Of the county
