GIVE US THE JIM PEAK
AUTOMOBILE ROAD

Last week we published an article
relating to the further prosperity of
OUT already progressive and live gold
capp, showing the great benefit to
Central City, of an automobile road
running from Central City TO the
chain of lakes that extend from the
VICINITY OF James peak, one of the
loftiest peaks of the Continental div
ide. to the beautiful and secluded
spot OF Tolland, Ton the Moffat road
neftled at the base of some of the
most lofty peaks OF the Rocky Noun
tain Range, where towering glaciers
stand as sentinels, to guard the YER
dure OF that picturesque valley, dot
ted with the summer homes of many
ofgpur American millionaires, who
every season come with their fam
lilies to this enchanted spot to while
away the heated term and angle in
the cool waters of our mountain riv-
lers that are fed from these immense
glaciers.
Since the article has been given
to the public, those living in the Pine
become interested, and we under
stand the Moffat road will contrib
ute literally towards assisting in this
great work, and all we need is for
an organization to successfully carry
out this great enterprise. Let the
business men of Central City and all
other citizens of the county, shake
off their lethargy, and join in promot'
ing this work that will be OF lasting
benefit TO the county.
The automobile, as an instrument
CO pleasure and speedy locomotiou,
has come to stay, and is now in the
haT6s Of millions OF well-to-do people,
who wish to spend the heated term
among the cool and shaded glens of
these sver-towering mountains, whose
| scenic landscape far outclass the
famed auties of the Alps and .Apen
nkies Were this road completed; it
would be dotted with thousands of
expensive summer homes, built by
eastern tourists, and would serve a
two-fold purpose. First the benefit OF
our pure and exhilarating atmosphere
and secondly, the investing by many
in our rich gold mines. The county
would also benefit, by heavy addi-
tons OF real estate being added 10
tire assessment roll, and in time be
amply repaid.
| What is everybody's business, is
nobody's business and therefore a
new body should be organized, or the
Chamber CT Commerce act, for the
benefit OF the many Improvements
demanded in the county. The Obser-
yer not only invites, but requests
opinions, pro and con, on this sub
ject, and We will gladly publish the
same.

ELK PARK

In the Elk park and Pine Creek dis
trict, in the northwest portion of the
county, mining for gold is being re-
viyed at the same ratio, as that about
Central City and Black Hawk.
The Elk Park Mining and Milling
company, have leased their mill to
Mccall and Wright, who are modern
izing 1t and have 1t nearly ready for
operation. New dyes, stamps and
mortars have been introduced, and
the mill will be used principally to
treat ores ff&F'the Mackey and ST.
Helena mines. and such custom ores
as are offered.
The old Mackey mill is also being
oyerhauled and will run on ores from
the Pine Creek district. Shad Reid
will also start up the Evergreen
mine and mill in September, for a
winters run. The Illinois tunnel is
again being driven from Mammouth
gulch to cut the Illinois lode in the
Twelve Mile district at great depth.
, McCrea brothers on the Montana hill,
are driving their drift on the lode and
are in about 500 feet George Holland
and company are working Their placer
with good results, and Stewart and
Fisher are working their property
near the celebrated London mine,
with good results. This country, rich
in gold, though long neglected on ac-
count of its remoteness from railroad
is now being supplied from the Mof-
fat road, and we predict for it bright
future.
The new automobile road, that the
county and its citizens should at once
build through Mammouth gulch to Its
great chain of lakes, will pass through
the heart of this great mining district
and open up this vast area to tie In
vetsor, and the business men Of the
county should get busy and start this
work at once.

PLAN EXTENSIVE
WORK IN COUNTY
EASTERN INVESTORS PREPARING
TO DEVELOP URANIUM MINES
ON QUARTZ HILL; ALSO GROUP
IN PINE CREEK.

FINANCIAL arrangements have devel-
oped to such an extent as to leave
no doubt as to the early resumption
of operations on the United Gold C
Uranium properties on Quartz hill;
also the Penn.-Colo. properties in
the Pine creek section. VIM. Wright,
who came out from Boyertown, Pa,
ten days ago to inspect these mines,
has been in Denver the past week,
ailing with throat trouble. He came
up to Central Sunday, but only re-
manned for the day. In writing the
Observer, Mr. wright outlines the
plans OF his companies in the opera
ton OF their properties. He says:
I'VE are rushing the financial af-
fairs CT the United Gold & Uranium
Mining Co., to completion as fast as
it is possible to do so, and have
met with success thus far beyond
our expectation, and also to warrant
us that the future of this company is
assured.
When we commence active opera
tions, which will be at an early date,
it is the intention to increase the
steam power plant at the Wood mine
with an so h. p. boiler. We also
have under consideration the erection
of modern mill and concentrating
plant for the treatment of the gold
ore from the Wood, and also our low
grade pitchblende ore from the Ger
man and Belcher. This plant will be
two separate units, consisting all told

the fact that We have several loca-
tions under consideration In con-
clusion l will advise that there is not
the slightest question of this proper

pie capital to install the proposed i'm
provements and provide for ample
working surplus.
'In reference to the Penn. Colo.
proposition, the board of directors
I OF TINS company, alter making an in
spection of the property, have voted
confidence in the management and
i decided to complete all improvements
proposed at the earliest possible date.
An important change has been made
in the proposed motive power of the
mill. 1t was our original intention
to install electric motors, but we
have now dispensed with electric pow
er and will use recent acquisition of
water rights to furnish the motive
power for the mill. The underground
workings of this property continue to
show good and to warrant the addi-
tionaLexpens voted to be disbursed
on the property. AT meeting of the
board of directors of the Penn Colo.
company, the old officers were cleo
ted to succeed themselves"

me from four a. NJ. to 6 p. m

then told me they did not expect
me to live; that l had best teles

doing so I gave the hotel porter
fifty cents and told him to buy me
a bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and take no substitute. I took a
double dose according to the direc-
tons and went to sleep after the
second dose. At FIVE O'Clock the

Buy Plenty Of Ground

The commissioners of Boundary
county made a good buy in the re-
cent purchase of the Idaho hotel
property and the adjoining lots of
the local Odd Fellow lodge
Where the commissioners made a
mistake was in not buying a larger
area for the court house and
grounds. We believe it to be false
economy in the purchase of sites
for any public building not to Sc
cure enough land to fulfill the need
of future years. Located as it is
in the heart of our city, additions
to the present court house site will
be double what they can be secure d
for now.
So, looking forward to the time
when Boundary will be one of the
richest counties of the state and it
will be able to build beautiful and
imposing structures in which to
carry on its business, we cannot
help but believe it to be wise for
the county now to secure at least a
full city block of frontage for the
court house site.
We understand that 167 feet of
frontage on Kootenai street, adj
joining the present court house
site, can be purchased for the
county for the sum of $500,
payable in easy payments. This
frontage has been held for 81 900.
We believe the county commits
sioners should make an effort to
increase the present court house
site at once and not make the mis-
take of putting the matter off until
the sure rise of land prices will
make the acquisition of more
ground impossible.
