TUNGSTEN RUSH
TO PINE CREEK

Four officials of the Colorado &
Southern railway were in the city
Sunday, confering with Oscar WILL
iams in regard to running an auto
line from the Central depot to Apex.
The railway people are thinking of
running an excursion from Denver to
central for the accommodation of
miners and prospectors who are desir-
Gus OF investigating tie, tungsten field
in the Pine Creek secllon. Since
the report Of the big tungsten find
in the Pioneer tunnel every train in
to the city has been filled with peo-
pie who want to investigate the
Apex district. Mr. Williams will in
augurate an auto stage line between
Central and Apex on the first of
next month. Trips to and from Apex
wild be made daily.
Interest in the d 'scovery of tung-
stem in Gilpin county is rapidly in
creasing and owners of claims are
coming in to lock after their prop
critics and pay back taxes. Many re-
demptions have been made this week
OF mines in the vicinity of Apex and
the county clerk and county treasur-
er are buster than they have been
for years.
The excitement in tie Gilrin dis
trict all the way TO Rollinsville is
very noticeable and miners in from
that country this week, looking af-
ter filings and the recording of as
sessment work, say the population
of the Gilpin section is growing by
leaps and bounds. The tungsten
boom is in evidence in every part
OF the county and this summer will
see more people IN Gilpin county
than at any time in years.

Tungsten Excitement
Booming Rollinsville

Tie unprecedented price being
paid for tungsten has had the effect
of resurrecting tie town of Rollins
vile, which enjoyed quite a period
OF prosperity some years ago when
the Moffat roa. was traversing the
northern portion of Gilpin county.
The Observer man, visited Rollinsville
during the week and saw so much
activity he hardly recognized the
Place. All the business buildings
which were abandoned until the price
OF tungsten went soaring, are being
repaired and are finding occupants as
soon as the carpenters finish their
work. The town now has twelve or
fifteen business houses and there is
an active demand for more. Lots
are selling readily and many new
business places and residences will
be built this summer. In Rollinsville
and for wide radius surrounding,
numerous tents of prospectors are to
be seen and every train brings in
new prospecting outfits.
Rollinsville is conveniently located
for a supply center to the great Gil
Boulder tungsten belt. The town

Gilpin County Tungsten
Runs Sixty-Five Per Cent

]. S. Kimball. NJ. j. Leahy, Frank
Fleiss and Leopold Klien finally clos
ed negotiations last week for a lease
on the Anglo Celt property near the
picnic grounds on Clear Creek. This
IS one of the best tungsten PROPOSE
tons in the central portion Of the
county, yielding ore that has produc-
ed concentrates running as high as
$50 in tungstic acid. Mr.. Kimball
and associates have been working
the mine under lease from one of
the owners since last November and
since that time have taken up seven
locations on ground surrounding the
Anglo Celt.
There is a tunnel on the Anglo Celt
500 feet in length with a small streak
OF high-grade silver and tungsten
values. Three hundred feet from the
portal OF the tunnel is a winze 80
feet deep that is being cleaned out.
This winze shows streak of tung-
stem on both sides from four to eight
inches in width that will run as high

INCIDENTAL MINE

Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes, Of Pittsburg,
Pa, Interested in the Incidental mine
in Russell Gulch, inspected the prop
erty during the week. They express
ed themselves as~very we'll satisfied
with the work under way at the mine
and with the plans for future develop
ment. A Dean electric pump, which
was installed on the Incidental dur
ing the past few days, was put in
operation Tuesday and works like a
watch. 1t throws 80 gallons a min
ute, but it is not necessary to nun
the pump constantly as the mine is
not making much water. The shaft
is being sunk with two shifts and is
down about 200 feet. The miners are
getting ready to cut out the second
level. Sinking will be continued un-
til the depth of the shaft reaches
300 feet. There is a splendid body
OF ore opened in both levels at the
100-foot point which will make a
heavy tonnage VIXEN sinking is COM
pleted and the ore can be broken. A
dam at the 10O-foot level catches the
water that would otherwise go down
the shaft and interfere with sinking
and for this reason the 10Ofoot level
is not worked at present.

CHANGING OUR MINING LAWS

We have received this week from
Congressman E. T. Taylor, congress
man from the fourth Colorado dis
tTfct. q letter, and also a copy of a
billssSow before congress, regarding
the revision of the existing mining
laws Of the United States, request
ing us to obtain tie sentiment of the
majority of mine operators that
their views may be Incorporated be-
fore its passage.
In his letter he speaks about a
commission being formed to superin-
tend the revision and report to con-
gress for final passage. To our no.
ton there is where the danger lies.
Congress. while Guggenheim was in
the senate appointed a commission
to examine and report upon the
smelter trust. These commissioners
hied themselves to the mineral pro-
ducing states, talked at length with
the smelter men of the different
states and reported back that there
was no smelter trust existing. Con-
gress and the president also appoint
ed a commission 10 examine into
Colorado's labor troubles few years
ago. and appointed Frank Walsh, an
agitator. as chairman of the commits
sion with the result that cur labor
troubles increased with ten-fold ra-
ito.
Whenever a commission Is appoint
ed TO do certain work its members
should be thoroughly conversant with
the work and render report accord
ingly. Secretary Lane. of the Inter
ior department, is now in hearty ac-
cord width a class of automobile en-
thusiasts who wish to convert the
most of Colorado's rich mineral
lands into natiora al parks for the
benefit of the tourist
The different chapters of the Metal
Mines association of this state,and
other mineral states, should at
once take up this question. and have
their mining lawyers carefully ex-
anime the bill and report back to
the association all the demerits there
in contained, and the different objec-
tions forwarded to our representa-
tives and senators.

Is only four miles from the heart of
the tungsten district and the bulk of
the freight that was hauled by wag-
ons and trucks from Boulder, is now
being shipped to Rollinsville over the
Moffat road and from there hauled
to Nederland and camps down the
Beaver by wagons and trucks. The
Moffat road is exerting every effort
to corral or divert the freighting from
Boulder to Rollinsville and shippers
are billing their goods over the Mot.
TAT road as the wagon hauling is Tar
cheaper than from Boulder.
The big tungsten mill of the Rare
Metals company, being erected at
Rolhnsville, is enclosed and part of
the machinery has been installed.
The plant will be in operation with
in several weeks and big portion
OF the tungsten output in the vicinity
of Rollinsville will be handled
through the Rare Metals company.

the tunnel connects with the shaft
which has been sunk about 100 feet.
The tungsten ore being taken out
in cleaning out the tunnel, winze,
and shaft is being sacked and the
lessees already have good sized
shipment. This tunnel was worked
about ten years ago for the silver
values. AT that time the price of
tungsten was very low and this ore
was not shipped. w. S. Smith, the
mill man, worked the mine then and
accumulated between 900 and 700
pounds at his mill, which he paid no
attention to until last week, when he
panned some of the 0Ee down and
made concentrate N ran $50 in
tungstic acid. He got five pounds of
this quality of stuff out of the lot
he panned and sold 1T to Robt. Sayre
for $500 a pound. Mr.. Smith will
pan the entire lot and expects to
get 100 pounds of concentrates that
will go from 500 TO $50 tungsten.

CARR MINE

From Arthur Most, superintendent
OF the Colorado Carr mine, we learn
OF the following recent shipments:
Lot /, consisting of 45,915 pounds of
screenings returned AS ozs. geld, 2.67
ozs. silver and S.O69o dry copper per
ton. Lot No. 2, also screenings, con-
sist.ng of 2,O94 pounds, returned .93
ozs. gold, LII ozs. silver and 1.70%
dry copper ton. Lot No. 8 was
smelling ore, consisting of 12,194
pounds, returned 1926 ozs. gold, 7.15
ozs. silver and $500 dry copper, net
value 1927 per ten. Lot No. 4, of
26, ,497 pounds, was concentrates and
returned 20 ozs. gold, 800 ozs. silver
and 2.70% dry copper per ton. Lot
No. 5, also concentrates totaling 2O,-
292 pounds returned 1 OF. gold, 2.20
ozs. silver and 1909 dry copper
ton. These two last lots gave 81
ounces gold from the plates that
brought SIS per ounce at the Denver
mint.
This mine has been great produc-
er of gold in former days, and as
these returns come from 800 to 1000
feet in depth is a good indication
that the deeper you go on cur fis-
sure veins the richer the ore be-
comes.

BOLD BANDIT
LIVED HERE


war has the bold, bad man held the
board in frontier life. Volume after
volume of cheap literature has been
published about the adroitness of the
James brothers, the cool and calcu-
lating brain of Bill Dalton, and the
shrewdness and daring. of the Young
er boys in their pa.my days. These
noted bank robbers and bandits, who
spread fear and CONSERVATION where
ever they went, worked in squads or
relays, and it was seldom they all es-
capped.
These men are pictured as cool
calculating and daring. to the extent
OF taking human life if found neces-
sary to successfully carry out their
designs. But it remained for the
lone train robber of the Larimer
plains, who successfully held up three
different Union Pacific passenger
trains within tie last two months,
and relieved the passengers of their
surplus wealth, as well as watches
and diamonds to cap the climax
This cool and heretofore lucky lone
bandit who had twice successfully
performed his daring exploits without
detection, and for whose capture dead
or alive, the railroad company had
offered a. reward of $4,000. was cap
tured after his third successful es-
capade the next day by one of
posse of cowboys, sent out in pur-
suit, and then his identity became
known.
This cool and calculating young
bandit, who had struck terror to the
hearts of the travelling public from
shore to shore, was found to be none
other than Walter l.. CDttrell (sup-
posed to be an alias), who had been
sojourning during the winter in Cen
trail City, and employed at the Hamp-
ton mine.
This young man of over six feet IN
heighth appeared in Central City on
November 9TH, and engaged board
at the same hotel with the writer,
and begsn his labors the next day
at the mine. He proved to be one
of more than ordinary education, gen.
tiemanly in his demeanor and courte
Gus towards all. His classic and
ready flow of language won him
friends, and soon he was the Beau
Brummel in the younger class of
society. None suspected that this
bright young man, whose polished
manner won the hearts of the ladies,
would single handed and alone hold
UP train and relieve its hundreds
of passengers OF their surplus wealth,
their guard over their treasure vault.
At his hotel he was perfection per-
sonified, as no obscene, profane or
ludicrous language escaped from his
lips TO mar the dignity of his state
ly bearing.
Towards the lightning Of Febru-
ary rumors began to spread that lie
had but recently been liberated from
the Canon City penitentiary, after
finishing term for highway robbery,
and on the fifth OF that month left
for Denver, where he planned his
first railroad robbery that took place
soon after and was repeated until

aversion for the taking of human life
accomplished his CAPTURE. as he had
his captor looking into the barrels
of two pistols when he surrendered
