eILPIN's OUTPUT FOR 1918

According to figures furnished by
Capt. Smith, mining reporter, Gilpin
county in 1913 produced s1,214,542 in
ore values. The Black Hawk ship
ments reached 1,783 cars besides
what was shipped to local mills. The
closing of the Frontenac mine early
in October and the heavy SHOWS
which hampered the marketing of
ores, deprecated the output at least
ten per cent. The uranium product
dence and the ores of this nature
exceeded $4,000 from the German
Belcher mines. The Calhoun mine in
Leavenworth gulch also was quite
the ore went as high as II per cent
uranium, as against and per cent
ores found in the mines belonging to
the Austrian government. There were
1O1 companies and leasing pools ac-
lively engaged in the camps of the
county, showing a net gain of 1854
tons or Is per cent over the preced-
ing year. The Frontenac-Topeka
group and the famous old producers
at Nevadaville are almost certain to
resume in the early part of the year
and with the Richardson, London.

very flsttering for the year 1914.

STORM RETARlDs MILL WORK

VIM. Crossley and S. S. Rowe, who
are erecting mill at the Saratoga
mine, have been greatly hampered in
the work by the big storm. They ex-
pect within a short time, however,
to be in position to rush the com
pletion of the plant. Nearly all the
machinery has been delivered on the
ground and the building lacks little
of completion.
Much is expected of this mill in
solving the low grade treatment prob
lem which has baffled the operators
of Gilpin county for years. This
process will be a combination Of cya-
nidation and amalgamation, and was
adopted after numerous practical
tests had been made of it's efficiency.
The plant will be run on the ores of
the Saratoga mine; also on the end
less amount of low grade ore in the
slopes. 1t is estimated that there
are between It's, 900 and 100000 tons
of material that will average in val
ue from $3.50 to $500 ton that the
mill can treat at an expense not to
exceed $1.25 a ton, leaving a hand
some profit.

Hurley, while driving to his ranch in
Eureka gulch, was attacked by a
band of hungry coyotes, compelling
him to return to town for the night.
Mr.. Hurley had driven with his team
OF burros to the edge of Nevadaville
when, on reaching King Flat, eight
coyotes swept down from Bald Noun
tain and surrounded his outfit, show
ing their snarling teeth. Although
but half mile from his home, he
deemed II wiser to return and seek
shelter at Mrs. Murphy's boarding
house, not relishing the idea of fur
nishing meal for the hungry var
mints. Children of ranchers are be-

MINING ITEMS
OF INTEREST
BARNES HAS HEAVY
ACCUMULATION OF ORE

The Barnes group of mines locat-
ed on the point of Quartz hill over
looking Central City, and owned by
the Cleveland and Central City Min
ing company, have the main shaft
retimbered and enlarged to the $50
foot point, and is now actively en-
gagged in driving the 60O-foot level
west into the large ore shoot that
has been continuous from surface to
the floor Of the 5O0-foot level They
are now engaged in putting in stulls
and tagging them, preparatory to
stoping as the heading of level ad-
vances. The Gilpin tramway which
has switch running to the ore
bins at the mine, owing to the re-
cent great storm, have as yet been
unable to shovel out the track, con-
sequently all the ore bins are over
flowing with ore awaiting transpor-
tation. The ore shoot they are just
entering on the 600 leven is 275 feet
long on the 500 level and as it has
increased in length as well as width
as depth is gained, there is every
reason to believe that the 900 pocket,
or shoot, is three or more hundred
feet long. The vein on the 600 is
from nine to twelve feet between the
walls and the matrix is all of a mar
ketable nature, composed of concen-
trating and smelling ores. The smell
ting ore is good grade of peacock
gold-copper ore and the concentrates
are Of high grade.
AIT present no ore is being hoisted
except that required in development,
as all bins and idle storage places
are filled, awaiting the advent Of
the tramway. AS soon as the tram
way removes the accumulated ore.
stQping will be started in this i'm
mense body of ore which undoubtedly
will be continuous to the floor Of the
500-foot level. When everything is
complete for an indefinite production
il is the intention of the company
to explore the ground on the 900 and
500 levels east, where several lodes
of the group cross the Barnes, and
where known rich surface pockets
were extracted in early days. When
these developments are made in the
lower levels, work will be resumed
on the upper levels that have pro-
duced largely in the early history of
the mine 1t is the intention of the
company to drive these levels into
new territory and ore zones known
to exist on the surface. The COM
pany has spent months in retimber-
ing the shaft, repairing levels and
reconstructing hosting machinery,
etc so that now the Barnes is one of
the most up-to-date mines in the
county as regards modern methods
in mining. These improvements and
developments have been under the
personal observation and direction of
J. c. Jensen, resident manager, and
DR.. A. II. Millburn. secretary and
treasurer, of Cleveland, o. The com
pany Is not only to be congratulated
in having such efficient and trust
worthy officers at the helm, but in
having property that will pour
forth its golden wealth for an in
definite period. And we of Gilpin
county should congratulate and wei
come a company that comes among
us and with free hand spend their
money in developing one of our has
been producers, with that sublime
confidence, chat what has been done
with prudence and economy. can be
done again.
