MINING APPRECIATED

Ten years ago, if man who had
mine to sell had walked into the
office of big financial powers in an
effort to secure capital to develop the
mine. it is probable that he would
never have reached beyond the first
tier of the office boys, says the New
York Copper Curb. Let it be said
to the credit of men of small means,
who are after all the progenitors of
the American mining industry, that
there has been a complete reversal,
due mainly to their efforts, of pub
lie opinion regarding mining and min
ing stocks. Today nearly every big
financial power is not only interested
in mining, but the mine owner who
has something worth while is receiv-
ed with as much courtesy as the rail-
ancial corporation. Practically every
big financial organization is today
either directly or indirectly interest
ed in a mining venture. The names
history are seen upon the boards
of directors of mining companies. Is
it not a natural and logical outcome,
therefore, with this change of heart
on the part of the financial powers,
that greater attention is being direct
ted toward mining securities by in
vestors?
This is the foundation of the pres
ent and coming big bull market in
mining securities-a market in min
ing stocks that has been seen in the
worlds history; a market devoid of
frenzied and wild speculation that
has hitherto accompanied trading in
these issues; a market from which
fraud. chicanery and initiation shall
be absent; a market carrying specu-
lative-investment opportunities of the
highest character. For the first time
in the history of this country its
gigantic mineral resources are ap-
preciated. For the first time the in
vesting public is to participate in the
profits that grow out of legitimate
mining and the development of mines.
For the first time it is realized that
mining supersedes all classes OF bus
mess for stability. for return on the
investment and for appreciation in
value. These are the pillars of the
imminent great market in mining Sc
curities now at hand

Mr.. Wright is here for the purpose
of having the lessees who have been
working the Wood mine, clean up, so
that the company can commence
work the first of the year. Ample
funds have been deposited in the
bank to enable the company to do
the necessary development and place
the Wood in share fer heavy produc-

MEETING OF MINERS
OPPOSE NATIONAL PARK

Representative from Larimer, Gill
pin. Clear Greek and Boulder coun-
ties met in the office of the commits
sioner of mines at the state house
in Denver, Tuesday and voiced vigor-
Gus opposition to the proposed exten-
sion of the Rocky Mountain National
park.
The opposition to extension is
based on the theory that mining and
grazing will be restricted on the area
within the national park.
The statement was made that the
present Rocky Mountain National
park contains about 231 900 acres;
that if the proposed addition is made,
which would be increased to $50 900
acres in the event that the extern
SIGN is made, all of which would be
Withdrawn from exploitation for min
eral purposes, and would become pro
hibited territory for grazing purpos-
es
There are also 22,0S0 acres of pri-
vately-owned land and 1880 acres
selected by the Colorado Agricultur-
al college for forestry purposes with
in the proposed addition to the park.
Follcwong the meeting NJ. B. Tom
bin, secretary of the Bureau of
Mines, declared that the sentim ent
in all Of the counties represented was
unanimously against the proposed ex-
tension
He declared that the mining and
grazing interests Of the state would
oppose the addition of ground to the

AMONG THE MINES
PIONEER MINE

The Pioneer Mining and Milling
Co., Fred II. Thompson manager,
seems destined to, be the leaders in
opening up what will undoubtedly be
one of the greatest sections of gold
producing ground ever opened in the
county.
The Pioneer district is located in
the northern part of the county, and
has been neglected to a great extent
by the prospector, on account of it's
remoteness from mills and smelters,
and long hauls by wagon of its ores.
Manager Thompson, several years
ago, seeing the outcropping of these
immense fissure veins, and realizing
that in time the district would prove
of great value, secured group of
lodes and began crosscut tunnel to
cut them at great depth.
The manager has quietly been
driving this tunnel for the past two
years to cut the Martin lode, the
first to be encountered of the group,
and has been rewarded by cutting
the vein that is 8 feet wide from
wall to wall. and assays from 50 to
1925 per ton, with an average of from
$50 to $40 per ton. This tunnel cuts
the vein at a depth of 300 feet on
its dip that is at an angle of nearly
As degrees. The west drift when
driven will soon be some 700 feet in
depth, owing to tie abruptness of
the mountain
The 10-stamp mill being completed

amalgamation and concentration. and
II found necessary, flotaticn will be
introduced. Power drills will be used
in exploiting tie mine in future, the
motive power being generated by an
so h. p. boiler. The management is
now at work erecting large plats for
the storage of ores, and when suf-
ficient has accumulated for steady
use. the mill will be put in operation.
Manager Thompson has performed
all the work. substantially and well,
and his farsighte dness in securing a
group of claims wards off any legal
controversies that might arse. This,
in connection with other big mines
being operated in the district, such
as the Evergreen and Mackey, also

SICKNESS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

The attendance of the Central City
schools, both grades and high schools
has been excellent until Thanksgiv-
ing. Tie absences for the past two
weeks have been many and in every
case, sickness seems to be the cause.
The high school has had as many as
ten out at time and one room of
the grades had twelve out one day.
Such conditions are demoralizing up
on the work of the school as a whole
and, of course, upon the work of each
child. If there is anything we. as
parents and teachers can do to rem
edy these conditions, l am sure, we
would all be glad to do it I believe
there is.
The cause of the trouble seems to
be, in every case, lagrippe or just
bad colds. The hest and mcst re-
cent medical thought on these dis
eases, is that they are contagious.
Whatever our own ideas on the sub
ject may be, tie doctors tell US,
that we really do catch cold" Then
We should follow on smaller scale,
the plan by which more serious con-
tagious diseases are handled. Peo-
pie with colds, sore throat or lagrippe
should be isolated from their fellows,
put at once under the care of a physi-
clan and without doubt, the loss
would not be so great. If children
are allowed to cone to school with
sore throat and fever, they are very
likely to give the disease to some
other child who would otherwise es-
cape. That is ore mode of preven-
ton. Then parents can watch care

TUNGSTEN IN DEMAND

New York-Ct airman Herbert Du
Puy, of the Crucible Steel company,
gave an illustration at the annual
meeting Friday last, of the wars
effect on tool steel prices. Certain
tools, he said, which commanded 70
cents pound before hostilities be-
gan. are now selling at SO pound
or better, and tfey cannot be manu-
featured fast enough to meet the de-
mand from war munition makers. Ex-
cessive demand alone has not caus-
ed the sharp upturn. The markets
of the world are being secured for
tungsten, a constituent in "high
speed steel, and since it cannot be
secured in large enough quantities,
the output of this steel is restricted.

THE LESSEE

Tferc Is a well defined movement
on foot in many mining districts to
more generally adopt the leasing sys-
TEN fer development of mines and
prosr cts. This is a matter that
hes been -neglsctedxin the-past, and
worse than neglected; fer under the
old method of leasing the mine own
ers got all the rrofits and the leas-
ers got little but experience. says
the Salt Lake Mining Review.
The leaser, like the prospector. is
2, pioneer: and the pioneer in any
line Of human endeavor is worthy of
admiration. In every camp are found
men = hard working, honest, expert.
enced miners-who are not cnly will
ing to take a chance on developing
ore in likely places, but are anxious
to make the attempt if once persuad-
ed that they will not get the short
end of the deal after ore is found.
They may not have the engineers
technical knowledge-in which con
nection it can be safely said that
the engineer seldom makes sue
cessful leaser; they may not even
know how the ore got there, for they
seldom bother their heads about ore
taught them that certain occurrences
of rock formations in the district
have led to ore in the past; and
they so out after the ore, and gener-
ally get it.
The system in the past has been
for the company TO demand certain
royalty. no matter how long it took
the lessee to extract the ore, nor
what the expense to him had been.
And the result was that he often put
in his time with practically no re
turn. We recall case. a few years
ago-and no names will be mention
ed for it strikes too near home
where two young men had q lease
that was to terminate in six months
time, the royalty to he paid on a
sliding basis. They went to work
on a small streak of ore, just enough
to encourage them to keep at it, and
worked faithfully for more than five
months. Then tie ore opened up tc
eight or ten inches, and they were
enabled to get out small shipment
the last month, at the end of which
time the showing was so good that
the officers of the company refus
ed to extend the lease. Worse thar
that. they demanded and collected A
per cent royalty, strictly as per con
tract, of course. And the young mel
after paying for provisions. supplies
and tools. had $3.50 to divide as tht
result of six months steady work.

also, the large quantity of pitchbende
ore now stored in Denver, that was
produced when the mines were last
worked. In this lot there are 6 tons
that run 22.1O9o in uranium oxide per
ton; SO tons that run 2.14%, and 70
tons that run 10. Plans are being
laid to have this ore treated and
when this is accomplished, mines of
the group, other than the Wood, will
be worked. The ores of the Ger
man-Belcher properties run well in
gold, silver, lead and copper, in ad-
dition to their uranium content.
Three of the mines, the Wood,
German and Belcher are equipped
with shaft houses and all necessary
machinery and are in readiness for
immediate work. Very little expense
will be required on top and the un-
derground workings of the mines
were left in first-class condition when
operations were suspended. -
There isn't a mining proposition in
the county that affords a better op-
portunity for making money than
the mines embraced in the German
Belcher group. The enormous value
of the radium that is extracted from
the ores of these Quartz hill prop
critics, makes it impossible for one
to even estimate the profit earning
possibilities Of these mines. But, dis
