STAR OF THE WEST NINE

The Observer mining reporter Wis
tied this mine that is located in the
Lake mining district, during the week
and was lowered to the thdrd level.
or bottom OF the shaft. We found
at the breast OF this level, west Of
SHAFT, a streak OF smelling and con-
centating ore 8 feet wide, and in a
wuze being sunk from floor OF DRIFT
near the breast, streak OF similar
ore 4 feet wide. In an upraise a
short distance back from the breast
we found the ore to be highly i'm
pregnated with silver and lead con-
tent.
This ore shoot has but recently
been found, and We were informed
that sixteen tons had lately been
shipped to the mills at Black Hawk,
and another sixteen-ton lot was in
transit. The smelling ore Is sorted
out as it is hoisted to surface and
stored in the ore house, preparatory
to being shipped in carload lots to
the smelters at Denver.
Several Of the hines in this vicini-
ty are from 1000 to 1900 feet deep
and the ore at this depth Is richer
and in larger bodies than in many
places nearer the surface. The larg-
er bodies Of ore found in the sinking
OF the winze, indicates that the shaft
should be sunk to greater depth, and
levels driven to penetrate these ore
bodies now being exposed. The
streak above this level Indicates that
the ore may extend to surface, as
the Old Discovery shaft, sunk short
distance to the east years ago, pro-
duced some $50 900 worth OF ore in
shaft and slopes from the 125-foot
level to surface.
In the east DRIFT from shaft on this
level the breast shows a streak OF
copper-gold ore from four to eight
inches wide. A recent sample lot
taken from this streak, near the pres
emit brenst, and assayed at the School
OF Mines ali Golden returned 1873 ozs
gold, CTS ozs. solver and 1875 dry
copper, or h value OF $374.sS per ton,
based upon present metal quotations.
When the ore shoots recently dis
covered, are properly developed, this
mine should take rank as one OF the
great shippers of the county.

INCIDENTAL MINE

-Four levels are being nun in the
Incidental mine and ore Is being
broken as the drifts are extended.
In the 2O0-foot level there is fine
showing OF copper on the foot wail,
with the hanging wall as yet not
having been cut. Sinking has been
suspended temporarily until the drifts
are extended and ore opened up for
stopping. Sinking Will then be resum.
ed and another Lift sunk. which will
give the shaft a depth OF 300 feet. In
sinking the shaft, ore was exposed
in the levels as the stations were
cut and when these levels are run
so that stoping can be started, the
Incidental should make heavy ship
ments Of splendid ore. Manager
shull and the miners are enthusiastic
over the ore bodies exposed in the
levels.

AMONG THE MINES
s,LvER:s FUTURE

Many OF the great financial men
OF the world can see, in the near
future the return of silver, as a mon
ey metal at a given ratio with gold,
by nearly every nation now at war.
Great Britain, Germany. Russia.
Austria and Italy, had each demone-
tized silver as a money metal, yet
within the last year have these ma
lions, from compulsion been obliged
to coin over 1000 900 ounces to sup
ply the demands Of their respective
countries. The price Of the metal is
again rising, and many we'll versed
in finance predict that 1t will go
above 80 cents per ounce, and so re-
main for long time.
We quote the following from an
article recently appearing in the
Aspen Democrat:
Coinage Of Silver Increasing
There is evidence OF this In the
tact that the amount of silver coined
in the VARIOUS countries is now larger
than at any time since its demoneti-
cation, and that 1t Is constantly in
creasing in volume. Great Britain,
for example, used s,00O,0 900 ounces
during the first quarter Of 1916 as
compared with 4.OO0. 900 ounces dur.
ing the corresponding quarter OF 1916.
France used approximately 10000, 900
ounces during the quarter which is
more than YVES imported during the
whole OF 1915. Germany has doubled
its silver coinage, and according to
the best information obtainable Aus
tria, Russia and Italy are using large
quantities.
During recent years the consump-
ton Of silver coinage is figured to
have averaged around 100, 0,000, 900
ounces. which. together with the
116 900 900 ounces consumed for COM
mercial purposes, used up to the
worlds supply. 1t Is now, however,
estimated that the coinage Of silver
is probably running close at 100000
900 ounces. which means a silver
shortage which promises to become
acute when the demand TOR silver by
the people OF the warning countries
reaches IT'S height following the war
and during the period OF reconstruc.
ton.
"Possibie demonstration
"In this connection attention Is
called to the fact that many author
tiles contend that the remonetization
OF silver will be resorted to as a
means Of providing for the enormous
war debts incurred. It is pointed out
that the only thing that has stood
in the way Of remonetization has
been the lack OF cooperation between
at least two Of the great nations
which is now provided by Great Brit
ain, France and Russia ON the one
hand, and Germany and Austria on
the other. In other words assuming
an allied victory. It will be possible
for the allied powers to force re-
monetization on the conquered Teu-
tons or vice versa"
At the close OF the present strng-
gle In Europe, the countries involved
will undoubtedly seek an information
al remonetization. and America. the
greatest silver producing country of
the world, will have much to say as
regards the fixing OF It's ratio with
gold.
