STRIKE GETTING BIGGER

Cripple Creek, Colo, Jan. 2.-Thir-
teen hundred feet underground, in
the recesses of veritable Aladdin's
cave, armed guards are posted around
treasure of gold ore valued at ST.
500, 900. recently sacked from the
workings of the fabulously rich Cres-
son mine
Three sets of guards on eight-hour
shifts each. are stationed in the un-
derground workings day and night.
Two large steel bank vault doors
have been cemented in the drift to
the newly-constructed storehouse in
the chamber on the thirteenth level
where the bonanza was discovered.
Since the ore was uncovered thir-
ty days ago, five tons, valued each
at approximately $4,000. have been
sacked per day. The total sacked
to date is estimated at about 1,500,-
900 in value.
At present the Cresson Consolid-
ated Mining company is getting an
average of 100 sacks daily from the
strike workings, each sack contain.

A YEAR OF PROSPERITY

The year of 1915 begins with Fri
day and will end with Friday. To
many this is an omen of good luck,
and from present indications all signs
point to year of more than ordin-
airy prosperity. The farmers of the
west will harvest greater acreage
of winter wheat than ever before,
Colorado sugar beet raisers are pre-
pairing to plant a larger crop than
ever before known in the states his
tory. The mining industry, not only
in Colorado, but in every other miner
al producing, state, shows more activ-
ity than for many years. From Colo
RADIO to California, from Montana to
the Mexican line, come reports of
large and rich strikes of gold ores
being made, and in our own state OF
Colorado there IS a greater awaken
ing in mining than has been exper-
fenced since the great Cripple Creek
discoveries in the early 80 s. Cripple
Creek, Central City and Idaho Springs
have proven beyond doubt that
deep mining reveals our fissure
veins to be larger and richer as depth
is gained. The recent strike in the
Cresson mine at Cripple Creek. 1900

millions of dollars worth of gold ores

from six to ten dollars per pound,

STABILITY OF METAL MINING

Although diamonds have a much
highsr market value per carat than
gold, their price is based upon the
frivolity of nations rather than upon
the actual needs of commerce or
society. Prior to the present war,
continental Europe afforded a prime
mart for precious stones. The out
break OF hostilities was quickly fol-
lowed by the extensive destruction
OF property and a consequent i'm
pairment of notable fortunes. The
demand for gems suddenly halted.
Business in the United States was
sharply checked as a reflected result
of the European imbroglio and the
purchase of luxuries was curtailed.
This country ceased to be a profit
able customer for diamonds.
Owing to these conditions, the dia-
mCnd mines of South Africa have
practically quit operating. They
must remain unproductive until the
luxurious make a further call for ex-
pensive baubles.
No one ever heard of a producing G
gold mine discontinuing work be-
cause of the existence of war famine
pestilence or panic. Whatever hap
pens seems only to augment the de-
mand for the yellow metal. There
is a logical reason for this. Gold is
something more than a necessity-it
is the medium that makes possible
the production and use of practically
every essential for the continuation
Of human life. People must have il
as matter of self-preservation.
Coal mines also rank high as con-
tinuous profit disbursers. Regardle SIS
of veal or woe, the world must have
this commodity for fuel. 1t is a
business and household requisite for
which the demand is unfailing. =
Mining and Financial Record
Colorado not only has the gold and
silver mines to supply the deficiency
of these metals now existing in for
eign nations, SO essential to their
marts Of trade. but we have the coal
beds, that the U. S. Geographical sur
vey. has reported. contain enough
coal TO supply the Unietd States at
its present rare of consumption, for
800 years. The eyes OF the wealth
of the nation are now turned upon
Colorado and the great possibilities
of her wonderdful mineral resources.

PEWABlc MOUNTAIN

There is an old proverb that reads,
Ask and ye shall receive, seek and
ye will find" When Jos. Ruth asked
permission for a lease to search for
wealth in the Golden Edge mine, cut
in the NewhOuse tunnel that pene-
trates Pewabic mountain in Russell
and was rewarded by uncovering
tabulcusly rich deposits of gold, 1t
created an impetus for others to ex-
Ilore its deep suterranean fissures
that skirt the mountain, through the
several deep drainage tunnels that
pierce its very vitals. Moser and
company secured lease on the Lake
mine, cut in the Big Five tunnel that
also pierces it and are now producing

THIS A MINING YEAR

A New York mining engineer has
recently expressed to us the view
that 1915 is to be "a good mining
year" This view, he declares. is
shared generally by his profession
in the East.
There is deep significance in such
a prophecy, coming as it does from
a city whose only mining activity is
in finding subterranean routes for
municipal railways. Some men in
the great eastern metropolis will tell
You that New York is the greatest
mining city in America; in a very
true and eloquent sense, the judg-
ment is correct
A good mining year means a year
in which financial activities are in
an exceptional measure, directed to-
ward the business of mining. The
prosperity of business does not re-
side alcne in a high degree of pro-
ductivity; expansion is the measure
OF good times. Only when capital
is seeking new outlet is capital really
functioning. Then it is that We have
prosperity Therefore, good min
ing year is not alone made by the
mines themselves, but by the mast
erS of capital who develop them.
In the same sense is it true that a
good railroad year is one in which
capital possesses the inspiration to
bear fruit by the financing of railroad
improvements. When growth ceas-
es. decay sets in.
By this sign We appreciate the sig
nificance of the prophecy from a
great financial center which predicts
the coming of a prosperous year in
mining. The meaning of it is that
capital is setting its face toward the
mining industry. We have evidence
CT this already in the renewed act
ivity in Nevada and Utah and Grip
pie Greek stocks. Gold mining is
especially attractive owing to the con
ditions imposed upon us by the war
ring nations of Europe.
The first OF the year is not only a
time for good resolutions but it al
so seems to be favorite period for
starting things. New enterprises
frequently are financed in the fall
months. but for some reasm-super-
stitious or otherwise-they seldom
begin active operations until after
the first of January. Many organ
fzations. particularly in the mining
line. have long been under way and
no doubt will become potent actual
tiles in the near future. Brisk act
ivity promises to follow a length era
of business somnolence.
Managers of Denver mining ma
chinery plants and mine supply
houses have been receiving numerous
inquiries from prospective purchasers
of new equipment and are optimistic
over the outlook. They predict a
genuine industrial revival in the west
This attitude is not based ON ground

ate knowledge of present-day con-
diticns
