Newsy Notes
from Georgetown

During the past week number
of Denver people were here inves-
tigating our mines with view to
becoming interested either as leas-
ers or owners. There are num-
Der of mines contiguous to George
town which have been idle since
the slump in the price of sill
yer. that could, with little mon
ey judiciously expended, be made
to return a surplus for such ex-
penditure.
Supplies were taken last week
by Harvey Corcoran to the Butler
property in the Daily district
where he expects to develop the
property during the winter months
and be ready to put it in the ship
ping list in the early spring.
Along in the early eighties this
property produced heavily, the ore
carrying a large quantity of silver
glance which caused the ore to
give very high values.
The Edison mill at the mouth of
the Burleigh tunnel is now in OPP
Grafton, sufficient ore being assured
to keep it running steadily. The
process, which is the invention of
Thomas A. Edison. promises to
reyolutionize the treatment of low
grade ores. The ore is ground
very fine and washed through
screens of various sizes, each 60
ing to concentrating tables, the
saving being remarkably clean.
The claim is made that the savings
will be in excess of 80 per cent.
The Colorado Metal Mining and
Reduction company, with a capital
stock of one million dollars, was
recently incorporated by Forbes
Richard of Denver, F. w. Trap
hagen, of Golden, and J. B. Foley
of Georgetown, who will take an
active part in the promotion of the
enterprise. The new organization
will use the Malm process for the
treatment of low grade ores. The
principal operation will be carried
on in Georgetown where the Malm
mill is located.
Ed. Butts reports his ore streak
as continuous No effort, how
ever, is being made to break and
ship the ore, the object being to
get under the ore shoot on the
surface from which a large pro-
duction was had in the early days,
the ore then milling over ten oun-
ces in gold per ton with high sill
yer and lead values.
DR.. Fl. G. Hughes departed for
Denver last Tuesday. He expects
to be gone for couple of weeks,
selecting location for a dental
office.
