FIRE HAZARD WILL

Commissioner Ryan objects TO

HaddonffeId Parade
THE MAYOR ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY

The weekly meeting of the City Com
missioners was held yesterday after
noon. Commissioners Smith, Ryan and
Hendee, Clerk Whltesell, Solicitor
Hand and a half dozen citizens were
present. r. w. Ryan reported collec-
tions for his department for the week
ending October 18th, 1914. as 5000 .08.
A question was brought up by Ryan
in reference to the proposed municipal
water plant. The matter was left in
Mayor Smiths hands at a previous
meeting. He promised to go to Phila-
delphia and arrange financial details
with Engineer Boardman. The Mayor
stated he had not been In the city aud
the matter had not been attended to.
Warren Holmes, recently appointed
dog warden, caught about ten canines
during the week. He put six of them
10 q shed provided for that purpose.
Someone succeeded Ia breaking the
lock, allowing the dogs to escape.
Holmes was kept busy catching them
over again and they are locked in a cell
In the city hall. One canine, mprison-
ed yesterday, kept up a continual howl
all during the meeting. It seems that
a better place could be found for them.
Commissioner Ryan objected strongly
to the local firemen taking the fire APP
paratus to the Haddonfield parade.
He said that no one knows but what a
big fire would break out and we would
be without the proper engines. He
went on record as opposing the carting
of our beautiful machines to such pa
rades, and on vote refused to stand by
the Mayor and Mr.. Hendee in voting
to allow the firemen to take an auto
from each fire house. The Mayor
stated that he thought the firemen de-
served the privilege of taking the ma
chimes to Haddonfieid and that he
would take full responsibility. There
fore the apparatus will be taken to
Haddonfield at six o'clock tomorrow
morning, and If we were so unfortun-
ate as to suffer a big disastrous fire, the
logic of Ryan's argument will prevail.

A GOLD SAVER THAT SAVES

Al few weeks ago we called the at
tention Of the reader to a new hydro
static amalgamator for the saving of
gold. introduced into the county by
]. J. Kaighin, OF Detroit, Michigan.
The process was thoroughly tested
this week at the Gilpin mill in Black
Hawk where Howard Wherry has a
process of his own invention, con-
sisting Of blanket rifles over which
the dirt is passed to a Jones bump
ing table at speed Of 240 bumps
per minute. When the shines leave
the blanket and table. actual test
shows that 92 per cent OF values has
been saved. Mr.. Kaighin placed his
amalgamator in the waste flume be.

amount of ground embraced in the
% claims is SO extensive, payable
ore can be extracted for years and
years.
1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a time since the completion of
the necessary development work that
this proposition has not paid a profit.
The mines have paid, but the man.
agement did not. In it's history, this
proposition has been as loosely man.
aged at times, as ignorance, careless
ness and extravaganza would permit.
The miserable management of the
last company that worked the mines
was demonstrated, when after rum
ming away behind with the payroll
and other operating expenses, the
miners themselves took charge, work
ed the mines and with systematic and
business-like mining, took out money
enough to pay their back wages and
other expenses, their current wages
and expenses, and then had sur
plus of several thousand dollars left.
1t is pleasing to note that the
men who are to have charge under
the new company are men who thor
oughly understand mining and are
men who have made a success at
mining, and with as good a group of
mines as could be found anywhere,
1t can be expected that this PROPOSE
ton will again be made big win
ner.
Gilpin observer., 1914-04-16

The most encouraging news to
reach Gilpin county for some time
came in the announcement Monday
that the bankruptcy court had con-
firmed the sale Of the Fifty proper
ties, made in this city more than a
year ago, to John B. Selvidge, repre-
senting Denver and Colorado Springs
capital. The entire holdings of this
mammoth proposition, including fifty
three claims, buildings. machinery
and 4OO-ton mill, pass into the con-
troll of Mr.. Selvidge and associates.
The purpose of these gentlemen
in acquiring the property is to start
up from Denver this week to arrange
for the immediate commencement of
work. He has engaged men to clean
up the machinery and to get the tun-
mel in shape for the transportation
OF the ore from the mines to the mill
The property has been idle four or
five years, but the machinery and
buildings are in first-class shape. The
tunnel is caved in places but the
work of repairing will not be expen-
sive, nor will it require a great time.
Mining men of state prominence
with unlimited experience, will be in
charge OF the mine and mill opera
tions. Arthur J. Hoskin, OF Denver,
most competent mining engineer,
will be in charge Of the mining end

that already obtained makes total
of 80 1-3 per cent. This amalgama-
tor does not require more than three
feet square of space and can be u.s.
ed in placer mining, at the dump or
at mills and all gold caught is a net
profit above sluicing.
The shines after passing through
the amalgamator were assayed as well
as panned and not a color or trace
was to be found.
We have contended for years that
the old Gilpin county tables that wer
used forty and fifty years ago and
are still used, were failure after
the free gold surface quartz is ex-
hausted and the mine enters the sui
hipde ores, where only from 25 to
40 per cent Of the values are saved.
Let investors build modern mills
along the lines OF the above men
toned type and Gilpin county has
hundreds of thousands of tors OF ore
in the dumps that is worth from four
to seven dollars per ton that Is now
worthless, and which can be loaded
hauled and treated for $2.5O per ton,
which leaves a good profit to the

tonnage, some custom dirt will be
run.
The Fifty mill was reequipped ten
or twelve years ago and is thorough
ly up-to-date. 1t is one of the best
mills in the county. According to
the report of VIM. A. Parish, made
in 1905, after the mill had under
gone thorough overhauling and the
addition of concentrators and slim
ers, the mill was saving around 80
per cent. With this high saving of
values, the Fifty mill never had any
trouble in getting all the custom dirt
it could handle, and will again re-
ceive all the outside dirt the COM
pany is in position to crush.
There is not a more encouraging
property in the western country
than the Fifty. Since the day of dis
covery of the Gregory vein on May
9Th, 1853, by John H. Gregory and
William and Wilkes Defrees, the
Gregory district has been a constant
producer. The principal lodes of the
group of fifty-three claims are the
Fisk, Mammoth, Bobtail, Cook, Nav
erick and Gregory. Available rec
ords show these veins alone to have
produced over $4,000, 100000 Not
withstanding this enormous sum of
money, the principal veins are by no
means worked out, as when last
worked, the richest ore mined came
from the lower workings. The

of the proposition, and B. A. Hughes,
of Colorado Springs, who for years
managed the Portland mill at Colora-
do City, will be in charge of the mill.
John Brohl, of this city, practical
miner in every sense of the term,
will serve as superintendent From
the connection of these three gen.
tlemen with the new company, the
conclusion can assuringly be drawn
that the operations of the mines and
mill will be under the supervision OF
men well versed in their respective
lines.
Work Of draining the mines of
water will be commenced as soon
the pumps are cleaned up. The Cook
shaft, comprising the deepest work
ings of the group, is 24O0 feet deep,
and is we'll filled with water. II is
estimated that five months will be
required to free the mine of water.
However, it will not be necessary to
delay actual mining or the extrac-
tion of ore until the workings are
entirely free of water. The 3rd, 4th
and 5th levels, which are above the
water line, will be worked while
pumping is in progress. The mines
were in good ore in numerous places
when the company ceased work and
the mill will be run on ore within a
few weeks. Until the company mines
are in shape to maintain the mill

of the shaft at 100 feet greater depth.
The last 100 feet was driven in ore
varying from four to five feet wide,
