Mr.. Reinhard's statement agrees with
the universal expression of travelling
men who make this territory. One and
all express pleasure at the marked al
though steady advancement of trade
In these times Of business depression
elsewhere, it is a great boost to hear
such words from men who have their
finger upon the pulse of commerce. II
makes US more than ever convinced that
Gunnison is coming to its own as bust

ing of the West

financial circumstances of the past year.
there is surely no room for the crosker

BALD MOUNTAIN STRIKE
STANDS DEVELOPMENT
Better Ore Appears as Work
Progresses on Find Recent
ly Made at Pitkin.

Something like sensation is caused
by the rich ore being uncovered almost
at grass roots in the new strike by
Wally Reed, A. l.. Pearson and VIM.
Miller upon Bald Mountain between
Pitkin and Waunita. Instead of be-
ing flash in the pan, the more work is
done the better appears the ore deposit.
The first discovery has now been
proven out by a crosscut tunnel run 50
feet and penetrating the ore shoot at a
depth of 20 feet from the surface.
More and better mineral appears than
in the first workings. The three feet
of ore reveals carbonates and sulphides.
eight inches of it next TO the hanging
wall, assaying up to 1000 ounces in sill
yer, - in gold and almost half lead.
The rest of the vein in highly mineral
lied and probably is shipping ore, but
naturally the high grade streak is oc-
cupying close attention
The ore is being sacked for shipment,
and big returns are expected as soon as
the mine is in shape to output in large
quantities.
The ore is now proven to have been
located in place, and this lifts it into the
bonanza class as soon as little more
development work is completed. Ex-
perienced miners declare it is one of the
finest showings they have ever seen in
Colorado. Such a strike in the heart of
he Bowermsn, Pitkin, White Pine dis

wonderfully.

m Enthusiastic Session
This Week.

All of the interests Of Gunnlson coun-
ty- mining. agricultural, stock raising
and eusrry-are to be represented at a
great joint meeting of the Gunnison
County Metal Mining Association, the
Gunnison County Stock Growers As
socistion and the Chamber of Com
merce which is being planned to take
place early in September. The initis-
tive in calling this meeting was taken
by the Metal Mining Association at a
session which was held last Saturday.
A motion was made that the chairman
or president name q committee to make
plans for the joint meeting. and that
this committee take the matter up with
the officers of the other two associa-
tions. This committee is to be named
early and no time is to be spared in
making complete arrangements. 1t is
the intention that there shall be dele
gates from every part of the coanty
representing every industry.
At this same meeting of the mining
association last Saturday the question
of increasing the membership of this
organization WAS considered, and it WAS
decided that membership cards would
be sent to the various directors and that
these dirsctsrs would be authorized to
issue these cards. TIE csnmittee
named to draw up the bylaws was in
strdctsd TO be ready 70 report at the
next meeting which will be held soon,
and the matter of appointing directors
to fill vacancies in some cf the districts
of the county was taken up.
There probably has not been a meet
ing in Gunnison county for number of
years where greater determination to
boost the industries of the county was
expressed. 1t was shown that there
were many resources of the county
which were coming to the front, and
that it was up to the citizens of the
county to get behind these enterprises.
Gunnison county with all of her oppor-
tunities and varied interests is attract
ing more attention on the outside today
than ever before, and with an INDIGESTION
VI q IN iftSttees, tiic
is ripe for the people of the county to
get busy and boost.
At the meeting which is planned there
will be represented not only the stock
raising, mining interests and the mer-
chants but also those interested in the
boosting of the fishing and the famous
Rainbow Route.
President c. T. Stevens, of the Gun
nison County Stock Growers Associa-
tion, was present at the meeting of the
mining men Saturday, and he said that
the ranchmen and stockmen were in
terested in mining for they knew that
as mining advanced the stock and ranch
interests would advance, and the county
would be more prosperous. He himself
became member of the mining associa-
ton, and it is his belief that many more
ranchmen will become members of the
new organization. 1t was shown that
an effort should be made to make the
surrounding territory more tributary
to Gunnison than it is at the present
time.

everything is not for gain in this world.
There are other communal qualities to
be cultivated that are really Of far more
value. The spirit of friendly intercourse
between neighboring communities is
one of the most important of these.
There has been too much of the dispo-
sitItion Of aloofness prevailing in Lake
City in the past for its own best good
and advantage in development. At this
