The Colorado Metal company has
rented the Yukon mill on Cement
creek and are arranging to start up
for the purpose of concentrating the
Tungsten ore which they are produc-
ing at the Dawn of Day mine near
Gladstone. They have a crew of men
there and are rushing the production
of the ore as rapidly as possible, so
as to get out a trial shipment before
lnterferred with by the winter SHOWS.
The tungsten there runs as good as
any of the properties in Boulder coun-
ty and there is no reason to believe
that this company cannot make as
good concentrates as they can in 9TH
er places. Tungsten at the present
time is selling at an extraordinarily
high price and there is great demand
for it. It is used for hardening steel
and the foreign nations at war have
prohibited the shipment of any Of il
out of those countries. The result
is that the manufacturers of the Unit.
ed States have to secure their supply
here at home instead of going out fol
it to the foreign countries, as they
have done heretofore. They expect
to get the mill in operation within the
next ten days. w. II, Paul. the prssi

John Lonergan has uncovered some
good looking lead-silver ore on his
property on Kendall mountain, op-
posite Silverton. In doing his ASSESS
ment work this year he opened up a
vein to which he has paid little atten-
ton in years past. AS soon as he
got under the surface and loose rocks
ne encountered an ore chute which
looks very promising and he did con-
siderable work in ascertaining the size
Of the chute but weather conditions
stopped him and he could not ascer-
tain this. The ore is as good look
ing as any found in this section and
there is every reason to believe that
there is a considerable amount of it
there. Arrangements are being made
by some local parties to take a lease
on the property and they are to be-
gin developing it as soon as possible.
This vein is one of the same system
of veins in which the Silver Lake and
Iowa-Tiger mines are found and runs
