MINING AS AN INVESTMENT

In the last few yesrs investors in
America have got a drubbing in the
market for railways and industrials,
says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. Even the bond market t
shows loss so serious as to be felt
been watered to such an extent that
they cannot now find capital for
needed equipment and improvement,
ar1 ti-ey are now being pestered by
Legislators engaged in making capi-
tai for aopular clamor. During all of
this, most of the first-class mining
it is only among the copper issues
that earning possibilities have been
somewhat interferred with. Make
the comparison as you will. Rail-
ways and industrials are tie invest
ment issues which must retire with
second honors, while mining issues
come to the front as bearers Of first
honors for the investment prefer
ment, and are becoming more and
more popular among investors.
In these days when mining has
been reduced to a manufacturing pro.
cedure, and a safe one at that when
properly conducted, within, in tie
main, a commodity that does not
fluctuate in market prices as do
other commodities, why should not
legitimate mining be preferred as an
investment? The profits are not the
result of pauper labor, as miners at
all times receive good wages, nor
are the dividends the result of stock
market manipulation. The ore in
mine is just as safe an asset as a
stock of goods in a store; in fact. II
is safer, as it is not subject to loss
through age or otherwise; it does
not go out of style and the product
of mine can most always find a
profitable market.

ONLY RADlUM ROOM
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

The most forceful way of advertis-
ing Colorado In general, and Gilpin
county in particular, is the novel way
in which Raymond F. Hammer, cura7
tor of minerology at the City park
museum in Denver. has devised. The
following is clipped from last Sun
days Denver Post:
THE 'radium room is tie latest
addition to the Colorado museum at
City park. A room dark enough to
be a real chamber of horrors has
been fitted up there. The walls are
painted black and in it there are half
dozen magnifying glasses through
which one can see the luminosity
produced by the radium rays. This
radium exhibit Is the first of its
kind given in any museum in the I'm
tied States and 1900 persons troop
ed through the dark room Sunday to
get glimpse of the stuff which
comprises the famous cure for can
Ger. Visitors exclaimed over, the
spectacle of the beautiful lights pro-
duced by the radium. Countless
points of intense white light can be
seen under the glasses. after the eye
becomes accustomed to the dark
room. The points of Fight move and
dance upward in a flashing stream
as the rays are given off from the
radium and reflected on tie phos-
phorescent zinc sulphide which is un-
der the glass and over the radium
salt.
Central City, Colo. is the only
place in the world where pitchblende,
the richest radium bearing ore. is
mined commercially. Samples of this
ore are on exhibition at the museum.
''The country around Central City
has many springs Of radioactive wat
er, which is taken as a cure for many
diseases"

VALUE AND SUPPLY
OF MINERAL PRODUCTS

The value of the mineral produc-
ton of the United States now ex-
ceeds $2,500,00O, 900 a year, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey. Though this value falls far
below that of the country's farm
products, the magnitude and scope
of our mineral industry may best be
measured by comparing our own min
eral production with that OF other
countries, no one of which can COM
pete with us in abundance or variety
of mineral resources. The United
States mines nearly 40 per cent of
the worlds output of coal and pro-
duced So per cent of the petroleum
in 1913. OF the more essential metals
40 per cent of the worlds output of
iron ore is raised from American
mines. and the smelters of tie Unit
ed States furnish the world with 90
per cent of It's COPPER and at least
80 per cent Of its lead and zinc.
These are the raw materials on
which has been found great metal
lurgical industry. but on which can
be built much more extensive chem
ical and Woodworking Industries.

THE PROGRESS OF MEXICO.

Peace in Mexico has been brought
about to the extent that several Of
her prominent citizens are now in
the United States, negotiating for
goods to restock their naturally rich
republic which has been devastated
by internal dissension for the past
five years. Some come to purct ase
farm implements of an up-to-date pat
tern, that they may more successful
ly promote the seeding and harvest
ing of crops; while others are here
to purchase STANDARD bred stock for
their pastures and n ountainous graz
ing lands. They re ort conditions
are rapidly becoming normal and the
destruction wrought by the war will
in a few years be but the memory
of the. past. They fully realize tfey
have a rich country in divers re- our
ces that are as yet undeveloped, and
propose their development shall be
along modern lines.

HUBERT SHIPMENTS


The Hubert mine at Nevadaville,
partially owned and leased by ex-
Senator H. C. Bolsipger since Aug
ust 1st, 1914, made a shipment of
1s cords of mill dirt recently to the
u. p. r. mill that returned 1878
ozs. gold, valued at $1212.00. The
tailings Tor concentrates) from these
IS cords were Is tons that yielded
s235.95, or $500 per ton. The con-
centrates and mill ore making an av-
erage of 5.25 ozs. gold per cord. He
also shipped tons and 700 pounds
OF smelling ore to the Chamberlain
sampler at Black Hawk, that ran
1.5S ozs. gold and 6 ozs. silver per
ton. The total value of gold and sill
yer in the tons and 700 pounds be-
ing $90.14. Not being satisfied, Mr..
Bolsinger removed the ore to the
Smith mill at Mountain City, where
it was put through Denver Quartz
mill, over copper plates, thence over
a Whitley table where 11.O5 ozs. gold
was obtained, valued at $4,000, and
a check for the tailings amounting
to $43.25, or a total value of .S223.25
for the tons and 100 pounds, or a
net difference of s133.11 ON the lot.
This ore was taken out by sub
leasers, and after deducting 33 1870
royalty, made over $500 per day PER
man. This ore is being mined from
the 1O5O-foot level of the mine, WI ere
they have streak of this kind of
ore from one to three feet wide, and
shows conclusively that the gold
mines of Gilpin county hold their val
ues as depth is gained.
This mine produced million dollars
in earlier days, and was closed when
the ore bodies pinched and remained
closed until Mr.. Bolsinger unwatered
il within the past year.
There are many idle mines in Gill
pin county that have produced large
ly in the past, that are equally as
good as the Hubert mine and only
await capital to place them on pay
ing basis. and the eastern investor
who is looking fer a place to invest
his idle capital can find no safer
nor more prof table investment OF
his money than placing it in Gilpin
county mines, that have been work
ed for fifty years without signs of
