GILPIN coUNTY'S WEST
ERN RESERVE

The northern and western part of
Gilpin county is giving substantial
promise of being a factor in the
states gold output.
Probably no more interesting field
for developm ment can be found in Col
orado than Vermillion district. about
6 miles west from Central City, where
one may find rich float covering
acres of the mountain side, easily
traceable to well defined fissures of
the same general character of those
Of Quartz hill. 1t certainly invites
the attention of the mining public.
In early days much of this surface
ore was gathered and hauled to the
Black Hawk mills with profit. Sew
eral mines were opened until water
level was reached, and considerable
gold produced, but in no case, was
any material depth attained. Among
those was the Mann lode, which pro-
duced over s600OO.OO in fold from one
chute not to exceed GO feet from the
surface.
1t may be of interest to note that
recently the Ann Rutledge company,
now operating this mine, have cut
the old shoot at 225 feet below, and
are upraising on an ore body over a
foot wide with gold values of good
smelling grade, together with a high
grade mill streak. Unless bad wealth
er prevents shipments will now he-
gin and continue all winter.
Other property owned or controlled
by the Rutledge company, will be
opened and the ten-stamp mill on
the property put in commission for
treating lower grade ores.

MACHINERY ARRIVING FOR
THE NEW MILL

The American Metals, Producing
company is progressing nicely at its
mill No. 1 at Black Hawk, and the
large building has been placed in
first class condition for the recep.
tion OF the machinery which is be-
ing installed.
Two carloads of machinery arrived
from Denver last week, and were UNI
loaded at the plant. In this lot was
one piece which alone weighed Is
tons, aside frcm tire concrete and
brick work required to place it in
position. Foundations for these ma
chimes are well under way, and they
will be placed as rapidly as possible,
so ttat no congo sticn will be ex-
perienced
Manager G. w. Adams states that
nearly all TIE machinery las been
purchased to equip this mill, and
that it is beginning to arrive prac-
tically as had been planned. Some
of it has bo>n secured in Denver,
where the stocks of mining and mill
ing machinery are known to be more
complete than in any city in this
country.
Much of the srecial equipment
which will be required for the opera
tion of the plant is being construct
ed in Chicago and the east. A good
portion OF this has been finished and
is now awaiting shipment or has
been shipped.
Many delays will occur in such
an undertaking, yet the manager is
confident that full account has been
taken of these unfavorable incidents,
and that tie plant will he in full
operation the fore rart of January.

THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER

No matter which of the powers,
present war. an indemnity will be ex-
acted and it is computed that it will
not be less than $4,000 900 900, says
the Tonopah Bonanza. This is sum
so overwhelmingly huge that the
mind cannot conceive Of it unless it
is put in more concrete FORM Esti-
mating silver at so cents an ounce,
IS an avoirdupois pound and $4,000
a ton. this would be approximately
a million tons, or enough silver to
load 10000 freight cars at FUN capa-
city Toncpah's production is at a
rate that it would require $4,000
months to meet tie order, a period
that constitutes an epoch in the
worlds history Cobalt is Tonopah's
only rival at present in the pro-
duction OF silver as major output,
although it is conceded that the white
metal as by-product of copper is
being put forth more extensively by
Montana than Tonopah. Yet this is
due to the inordinate demand for cop
per in the manufacture of munitions
of war and after hostilities end the
copper demand may decrease. al
Though this is not assured Mean
while Cobalt is not holding up as we'll
as Tonopah. Mexico will be unable
to start rehabilitating its mines un-
til stable conditions there arel brought
about.
TIE powers that lose the war must
put hard money behind their shin
plasters, to borrow from an express
sicn made by New Yorls-curb brok-
er wi hin the hearing of the Bonan-
"a this morning. There is not gold
enough in the world to meet tiny
percentage of the indemnities which
win be exacted and silver will rapid
ly mount in price as the end OF the
war is neared. 1t is probable that
double standard will be adopted as
result Of international negotiations
and it will continue in force until
, tie indemnities are paid and probab-
| ly then become a permanent order
in tire world of finance. At all ev-
ents it means six bit silver and

RETURNS FROM NEW CAMP


Vim. F. Gray and V. j. Bergeron,
who left here some two weeks ago,
to explore tie new, gold camp in
northwestern Arizona. have returned
and report that it exceeds their ex-
pectations.
Oatman is in Northwestern Ariz-
ona. near TIE Nevada line and "a
miles north of Needles, California.
In going there take the SantaFe rail
road from Denver. by the way of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and get off
at Kingman, Arizona, thence by au-
tomobile 26 miles.
The mineral zone is Z miles long
by 30 miles in length. Tie cause OF
the recent excitement was the United
Eastern mine uncovering large bodies
of gold. ore from 10 to 80 feet in
width, of a high grade, containing no
iron, copper or silver, the whole
width avers ging s36 per ton. Four
teen feet of which returns values
of 5000 per ton, and several small
e. streaks that RETURN values of
thousands of dollars per ton. The ore
as deep as worked is an oxidized
spar quartz and easily mined. The
ore occurs between rhyalite and an
thracite dikes as well as tractyres.
and cidlatite dikes, that extend the
entire belt. The ore is free milling g
and capable of treasnent by cyanide,
thus saving smelling charge.
TIE town of Oatman has popular
ton OF 1000 people. and from 80 to
100 per day are being added. A Stock
Exchange is now being built. and will
be in active operation in 30 days.
Messrs. Gray and Bergeron, have
taken over tie Times and Martin
group of mines of ten claims, show
ing values from surface down, rang
ing in assay values from five to
thousands of dollars per ton. They
are now installing on their deepest
shaft a 80 h. p. electric hoist, and
a so h. p. compressor.
Forty miles from Oatman Is found
immense veins of molybdenite and
tungsten. that assays 900 molybden-
ite and 1000 tungsten. The veins
have surface chunks of almost pure
ore as large as a water bucket, but
as yet have not been developed to
amy great extent. Twelve miles
northwest frcm Oatman is the Colo
RADIO river, and a company is now
being formed to bring in water for
mills and city purposes.
Mr.. Gray was in Alaska for sew
eral years. also in Goldfield, Nevada,
when that camp was in its palmy
days, and talked with those who
had helped to open the Rand in Soutl
Africa and with one acclaim, they
pronounce that at Oatman the great
est gold discovery ever known upon
either Of the western continents.

THE NEW CAMP
OF oATMAN, ARIZONA

Oatman, Ariz, Oct. 27.-Tnis is the
most wonderful mining camp in the
world; it has no morning after"
How about the mines? Twelve hun
dred people in the camp which is re-
ceiving accretion of population at the
rate OF perhaps fifty day, all are
talking about mines, ore bodies,
| strikes, s,~shafts, high grade, and the
| other paraphernalia that litter uo
the inguistics Of mining. Even the
children in the streets are chatter
ing about porphyry dikes and the GER
tainty OF Pa becoming a millionaire
against tie Christmas holidays"
The beauty about this mining dis
trict," tie people tell you. sis that
ore bodies are big and you don't get
into the stuff until you go deep. 1t
isn't Sensational camp in one way;
that is, prospector can't go mosey-
ing out into the hills, accidently STUN
BILE over a piece of rock and find that
he has kicked loose quartz simply
studded with gold and exclaim, I've
struck it rich, Hooray. I'm worth
million dollars'''
Nothing like that here. But when
you've got it, it's there, and it does
not pater out. And the deeper you
go, tie better it is. They say that
cne mine has $4,000, 900 worth of
ore in sight.
The Tom Reed mine, the heavy ar
istocrat OF this district, has been pro-
ducing for years and paying dividends
os 65 percent to its stockholders Any
one with Tom Reed on a piece of
green embossed paper is lucky these
days And ever at the Gold Road
camp, the Gold Road property of the
smeltirg trust is roaring with its
multitude OF stamps over the business
of crushing cut gold in way that
causes it to connect up with the mint
with agreeable frequency. But that
is anc;hsr aristocrat, and is so big
it hcs k9t up an entire town for
years.
Into this company of heavyweights
the United Eastern burst a few
months ago, and that is the reason
Oatman is spreading on the map of
Arizona with astounding rapidity.
That obscure underground event ex-
plains why there is a district eight
by twenty miles located; why, on
all the roads tending hi.her, you see
ir=1 4
burros why the streets are crowded
with men, shafts are strewn over
TIE immense reddish landscape and
yCu see dumps CT gray or brownish
rock at every turn of the road.
The miners now reason this way:
THE Tom Reed has a big ore body.
So has the Gold Road, and the United
Eastern is as strong as either of
them. The Lodges have not played
out; on the contrary. the deeper they
60 the stronger and richer the ore
bodies become. Therefore the ledges
are extensive; this is real mining
district, better tlan Goldfield."
The country around is very i'm
pressing TO miners and gorgeous in
its coloring to an amateur. Titanic
escarpments of red porphyry have
been pushed skyward by some great
upheaval. There are huge tufts of
this rock standing like the sheaf of
the binder. From these run along
dikes The Tom Reed is under such
a dixie, which half encircles the town
like a giant arm that is curved.

Wright to Manufacture
Aeroplane Stabilizers

Dayton, Ohio, May 6. - Oryille
Wrights stabiliZer for aeroplanes will
make them as.safe as automobiles. in
the opinion of the inventor. The fac
tory in Dayton is now prepared to
manufacture them on a commercial
basis. according to Mr.. Wright, and
work will begin to this end as soon as
rush orders for military aeroplanes
have been filled.
The inventor says the stabilizer is
designed to render aircraft almost
automatically always in balance. no
matter what befalls the pilot. While
no description or Interpretation of the
mechanical principles or features in
volved will be given out at this time,
Mr.. Wright says that repeated tests
under all conditions have demonstrated
the merit of the device beyond ques-
ton. & 2a re
Orders for armored military aero
planes have so taxed the capacity of
the Dayton factory that the stabilizers
commercially have been left to more
favorable times, says Mr.. Wright.
