MINERAL OUTPUT GAINS
ORES MINED IN BOULDER AVER

Despite Excess of Surface Water,

Boulder.-That the mining output of
the county is increasing, despite the
unusual amount of surface water in
the mountains for this season of the
year, which has materially retarded
mining, is evidenced by the fact that
the Chamberlain sampler treated 1SO
tons during the first three days OF
June and 1896 tons during the month
OF May, as compared with 314 tons
during the same period in 1913 and
$40 tons for the previous month.
The ores mined last month carried
an average value of S42 a ton, as COM
pared with s32 for the previous year.
This is the largest amount of ore
which the local sampler has handled
in several years, and Indications point
toward much larger tonnage during
this and the succeeding months of the
year, as the White Raven and Yellow
Pine mines now are shipping on an
average of 100 tons each a week. The
1896 tons carried values as follows:
One hundred and forty-three ounces
gold. 25.732 ounces silver. 3S,67o
