DR.. Roe who is heavily interest
ed in mining in the Fall River
district has just returned from a
business-t,ip to Oklahoma. While
visiting with his friends and tell
ing them of the great mining op
portunities of Clear Creek Co.
he succeeded in interesting a mum
Der of them who subscribed sufi-
cieut money to build a mill to
treat the ore from the Ottawa
group. As soon as the roads will
dry up, the Oklahoma investors
will make the trip in autos and
look over the situation for ex-
tersive Developments. The Ot-
tawa has at this time: several hun
dred thousand tons of low grade
ore on the dump aud in the work
ings. the lower grade carrying val
ues of from IS to $40 per ton aud
the higher grade values from $40
to $2oo per ton. Mr.. Kaminky4
has been operating this property,
for a number of years and has
shipped a number of tons of ore
to our local sampler and mills re-
ceiving . good value over and
above the cost of mining. but dur
ing the winter months it is hard
to get the ore hauled even at q big
cost. With 4 mill at the property
work can be continuous the whole
year and the future outlook for
the Ottawa group is very bright
and profitable looking.

Mr.. Sternberger part owner aud
general manager of the Lucania
Tunnel was up from Denver last
week looking over his large mining
interests in the Fall River district
1t is Mr.. S.ernbergers intention
to get the Lucania tunnel in &C
tive operation and push it towards
several f his valuable mines in
the Russell Gulch district. the Lu
CANA is now very close to a num-
Der of big veins on Quartz hill
and when they are reached at the
depth the tunnel will strike
them we will see condition such as
was opened up in the Big Five
tunnel when it encountered its
large body of ore on the Bellman

driving through the same mineral
zone and will without question
encounter large profitable ore
bodies when the Quartz H II vein
are reached.

property and expect before long to

Allaria Bros. have taken up claim
in Ohio gulch that bids fair to develop
into big producer The showing at
the present time is very encouraging
and the values carried in the ore points
strongly to high grade producer.
