CARLOAD OF ORE IL s:z -E
SHIPPED To SMELL Ter

+. F. Jewett and his associates
In the mining enterprise recently
opened up in the Dawson district
southwest of town are this week
shipping a car load of ore to the
smelter at Pueblo. 1t is believed
that the returns will show good val
ues in both gold and copper. although
nothing phenomenal is expected as
the ore was taken from the surface
of the vein.
The reports from the workings Of
the Jewett property continue to be
of the most encouraging character
and there seems to be no doubt that
a large body of high grade ore has
been uncovered. A shaft is being
sunk on the vein and a depth OF
something like twenty-five feet has
already been reached. Two shifts Of
eight hours each are employed and
there is considerable pay dirt now
on the dump. The indications are
improving all the time and 1t looks
very much as If Mr.. Jewett and his
associates had a paving mine. A
road has been built up to the mouth
OF the shaft and the ore can be
hauled to Canon City without diff
Guilty. The appearances are at this
time that the Jewett property viii be-
come a regular shipper.
