MODERN MILLS
FOR COUNTY

Saturday we visited Black Hawk,
the city of mills, to inspect the two
mills that are now undergoing remod.
cling for the modern treatment of
ore. Our first visit was to the old
Rocky Mountain concentrator, which
is benig remodeled by the Arapahoe
Mining and Milling company. Under
the modern methods, the ore is first
fed through Denver jaw crusher,
of one of their largest sizes, then
elevated to a retaining bin and dis
charged into a most modern and up
Chilian pattern, where it will be
ground to 16-mesh, thence it is run
over copper plates to the Isbel table,
and here we will say that the Isbel
table combines all the excellencies
of classifier, concentrating and slim
ing table. All oversize caught at end
OF table is returned to the quartz
mill and reground. The Isbel table
per minute and is driven by Z 1-2
h. p. electric motor, although only
one h. p. is required to operate one
table, the reserve power being for
operating additional tables. The en-
tire plant is electrically driven and
has minimum capacity of fifty tons
per day, and was manufactured by
the General Electric company. This
plant is being remodeled for custom
work and will be ready for business
about the first Of June, 1914. After
familiarizing ourselves with it's meth
DDS, we have no hesitancy in recon-
mending it to the public as a great
saving over other methods used in
the county.
We also visited the old Horn mill
which is being fitted up with modern
extraction methods by Stroehle and
Sons. This mill is being overhauled
and equipped with an 100 h. p. hori-
zontal boiler and 20 h. p. engine that
supplies the driving power. The
crude ore from the bins is run
through large XII Dodge crusher
thence elevated into receiving bin
from which it passes through Krum
rolls. The rolled material is then
elevated to the trommels, where it
is screened, the screen meshes cor
responding to those of the four-three
| compartment Hartz jigs, through
which it passes. The chats (or over
size) are conveyed to the five-foot
Huntington mill and reground, and
this material, together with that pass
ing through the finest of the screens
in the jigs is elevated to the classi-
flying trommels over the tables and
distributed according to mesh to the
three Whitley tables.
The material passing through tie
finest screen of the trommels is run
into a Spitzkatzen and thence con-
veyed to the four Horn sinners. These
sinners are run by IL h. D. gasoline
engine, thus giving the steady mo-
tion required by all concentrating de-
vices. The mill is equipped with it's
own generating plant sufficient for
fifty lamps of 16 candle power each.
The mill work is nearly completed
and will be ready for business in a
few days, and If successful. will be

grade ores.

The Bates Leasing company ship
ped this week 23 tons of smelling
ore to the Chamberlain sampler that
ran 2.S1 ounces gold, 14.74 silver,
and 1.44 per cent dry copper. They
have from three to four feet OF con-
csntrating ore lying alongside of their
streak of smelling ore that. when
concentrated. four into one, produces
q concentrate equally as good as the
smelling ore. The Horn mill at Black
Hawk is being fitted up by Stroehle
and sons for this company for the
treatment of these concentrates and
when in operation will add very ma
terially to their mining profits.

lines of promoting the interests of

the baneful influence Of internal
strife between capital and labor in
sisting that law and order should pre-

PRETTY BLACK HAWK WEDDING

A very pretty home wedding took
place at the residence OF MIR. and
Mrs. julius Nordlien in Black Hawk
Saturday at high noon, when their
eldest daughter, Miss Agnes, was
min, of Denver. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Mr.. Kidd, as
the couple stood beneath a bower of
green, banked with beautiful spring
flowers. Miss Amelia Nordlien was
bridesmaid and Mr.. Vivian Fritz was
best man. The bride and groom took
their position under the green bow
er, as Mendelssohn's wedding march
was played by DR.. and Mrs. C. M.
Froid and Geo. E. Fritz. The bride
appeared unusually pretty, attired in
beautiful going away gown of gol-
den tan, and carried a boquet of val
ley lilies and bridal roses.
Following the ceremony, an in
formal reception was held and then
the guests, numbering forty or more,
repaired to the dining room, which
was most attractively decorated with
flowers. The piece de resistance of
the decorative scheme was the din
ner table, among the beautiful flow
ers being center piece of lilies of
the valley sent by friends in Illinois.
These were contained in a large cut
glass bowl, lending additional brilli-
ancy to the surroundings. The we'd
ding dinner was sumptuous and of
many courses.
The presents received by the bride
and groom were as numerous as they
were beautiful and useful, and attest
ed the wide circle of friends of the
contracting parties
While the guests were enjoying
themselves indoors and having great
others were busy outside decorating
the big Fritz car which was to con-
vey the bridal party to the depot.
with old shoes, placards, bunting,
ETC., and arranging for the indispens-
able shower of rice. Mr. and Mrs.
Brennin left on the afternoon train
for Denver to begin their welded
bliss in a home already furnished
and prepared by the resourceful
groom. At the depot the farewell
accorded the couple was as entertain
ing to those who had gathered to bid
adieu as 1t was embarrassing to the
bride and groom. There was no end
of rice and oodles of fun.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rrennin are both
prominent in the younger set of
Black Hawk. Here they grew into
man and womanhood and were the
center of innumerable friends. The
bride is Black Hawk product and is
as attractive as she is winsome. She
taught school few terms after COM
pleting her education, but was too
choice flower to escape Cupid. Mr..
Brennin left Black Hawk few years
ago and became connected with the
American Zinc & Refining Co., Den
Yer. Through hard work and strict
attention to his duties he won mer-
tied promotion until today he is one
of the most valued employees of the
company.
The Observer joins the many, many
Gilpin county friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brennin in extending them hear
ty congratulations and we'll wishes
for a happily welded life.
