Thompson he thought the mine was
keeping abreast OF times and the
gold and silver ores were giving way
to tungsten. He sad he would test
1t for tungsten, anyway, and in a
short time called Mr.. Thompson
over the phone and told him the
ore had responded readily to the
tungsten test but that he had no:
made test to de ermire the percent
age. The next day he made a guam
titative test and this showed a tung.
sten percentage of 31.24. The sample
came from the streek now glitter
ing in the back of the tunnel. This
first test was made in March, but
Mr. Thompson seid nothing about ii
until the streak had been examin ed
by other mining en- and no mistake
could be made as to the genuineness
of the find. Since Mr.. Burlingame' S
test, j. S. Kimball and G. w. Adams
have made numerous tests of the ore
and both. OF these expert assayers
and chemists pronounce the Pioneer
ore high grade tuDgs en-.
The Pioneer company is so equip
ped with a mill at the portal of the
tunnel to treat what low-grade tung
stem ore remains after sorting or to
extract tie values from any mixed
product that is found following the
high-grade streak. None of the ore
that has SO far ben tested needs re
duction. 1t can be shipped as it Is
and there seems to be sufficient to
greatly relieve the pressing shortage
in the tungsten market.

NEW zINc-LEAD PLANT STARTS.

The Black Hawk plant No. 1, of
the American Metals Producing Co.,
has commenced operations, but it
will be a few days yet until all ad-
justments are made and the mill in
full commission.
The company is handling zinc-lead
concentrates and ores Of the same
character. A la ge tonnage is be-
ing lined up over the country in Gil
pin, Clear Creek and Summit coun-
ties. and in few Weeks the avail
able supply should be sufficient to
increase the milling facilities of the
plant to double its present capacity.
While combining their purchases to
material Of a lead--inc character es-
pecially concentrates, tie operators
Of the plant intend to handle cop
per-iron sulphides as soon as the
necessary extensions can be made.
Ores containing low values in gold
and silver are the desirable material
and are also the kind which the min
er is unable to dispose Of elsewhere
E. s. Moulton Is the president, and
G. Whitney Adams is secretary treas
urer of the company. Both men are
devoting their wlo'e time and all
their energies to the enterprise,
which is most profitable one from
a business standpoint, and decided
ly an innovation in the reduction of
ores.
Gilpin observer., 1916-04-20

The great influx Of people into Gill
pin county which was predicted as
the result of the excitement created
by the recent find of large bodies
of tungsten ore in the various dis
tricts, is rapidly becoming a reality.
Particularly is this true of the
Hughesville and Ha. d Money districts
and in the vicinity of Missouri Falls.
The Observer mining reporter made
the rounds Of this country during the
week and was impI essed with the
probability OF the Fairfield mining
district outclassing the Nederland
Sought tungsten. Tents have been
pitched and shacks put up with the
rapidity of a mushr oom growth and
the cheerful ring of the single jack
ers' drills as derth is being attain
ed in the shallow shafts, resounds
from hill to hill. Every train into
Black Hawk is br nging an additional
be seen coming afoot, in wagons, on
burros, in short employing every
possible means cf conveyance to
reach the territory where tungsten
has been proven to exist.
Not few of the newcomers into
the Fairfield district are from the
tungsten fields OF Boulder county and
several of these told the Observer
man that tie deposits of the black
metal they Lave thus far unearthed
in Gilpin county exceed anything they
have come across in the older tung
sten camps. At the rate miners
and prospectors ae coming into
Hughesville and vicinity it would not
be surprising to see several hundred
men working there within the next
/ two months.
The Gilpin, Tungsten Producing
company. which is extending the Chi
hliaf MA tunnel, has the best showing
In the Hughesvil,e section, their,
proposition, of course, having been
developed to a greater extent tan
any of the surrounding properties.
They have tungsten both in the
! back of the tunnel and in the breast.
This week a specimen of tungsten
ore weighing over 100 pounds, taken
from the Chihuahua lead, was sent
to Denver. 1t was handsome piece
OF ore, being 2k f:et long and six
or eight inches thick. The company
is accumulating big tonnage of
mixed stuff from which the high grade
has been picked and will soon have
a run ready for the Iron City mill.
a number OF leases on various lodes
held by the Gilpin Tungsten Pro.
Co., have been given and other leas-
es are being made daily.
b. ID. Sawyer, of Denver, has a
lease on the Loveland and six or
eight other claims. He is doing a
great deal of work on the Loveland
and has taken out some SO sacks of
ore containing tur gsten, running from
3 to $3.50. The ore also runs from
to 6 ozs. silver and some lead.

RoLLlNSvILLE SHOULD
BE SUPPLY POINT

The traffic b;tween Denver and
Rolhnsville to the Tungsten fields
in the Gilpin- Boulder district has be-
come so heavy, the Moffat road has
concluded to run what will be known
as the Tungsten Special" from Dem
YER to Rollinsvil'e and return, daily.
Connecting with lie Tungsten Spec
ial" at Rollinsville will be motor
stage line to Nederland. By this
arrangement the bulk Of the freight
ing that now enters Nederland from
tie city Of Boulder will be diverted
to Rollinsville. The distance by
stage from Rollinsvil!e to Nederland
is only four niles, whereas from
Boulder to Nederland the distance is
about 20 miles. Lo alton considered,
with convenient railway facilities, dt
is only practicable that Rollinsville
should be supply center for the en-
tire Gilpin-Boulder tungsten district.
Gilpin observer., 1916-04-20

Since the report OF the wonderful
strike of tungsten ore in the Pioneer
tunnel in the Pine creek section last
week, there has been a stampede of
prospectors and miners to Apex and
vicinity. A number of mining men
have visited the Pioneer tunnel and
inspected the new find and every
test made has shown the presence
of tungsten in high quantity. The
Observer man made trip to the
tunnel Tuesday afternoon and gave
the mineral streak the once over.
1t is as pretty a looking streak of
the high-prfced metal one would be
able to find anywhere. The ore
comes in the top of the drift from
the crosscut tunnel, less than 300
feet from where tie drift starts. The
streak where it first shows is five
or six inches in w dth and with the
crystalized formation of tungsten,
glitters like diamonds under the can
die light. This vein carries with
the drift to the breast, the entire
rs feet that has been opened up. On
the hanging wall at the breast the
streak has widened to fully a foot.
The tungsten conte MT of tie ore IS
hardly believable. Manager F. H.
Thompson took several more samples
to Denver the latter part of the week
and had them tested by Burlfng game.
The streak in the lack of the tun-
mel went 25.4S%o. Two tests made or
the hanging wall etreak showed the
percentage of tungsten to run 1874
and 1915.
1t seems phenome nal tlat body
of tungsten OF the extent existing in
the Pioneer properly should be en-
countered just at this time when
this metal is in such great demand
and bringing SO high a price. But
when one stops to think and con-
siders the situation, this streak
should not be regard es one not to
be expected. Tungsten has been
proven to exist in the country sur
rounding the Pioneer. The mountain
into which the tunnel has been driv.
en- covers wide expanse. In pene-
trating the mountain by running a
crosscut tunnel and drifting, lot OF
territory Is explored and if tungsten
float is found on the surface, 1t is
nothing unusual to find well defined

seems to be like any other metal
it is where you find it and in a
county like Gilpin thct contains more
varieties of mineral perhaps titan
amy like area in the world. why
should 1t be any more surprising 10
find tungsten here and there than te
find raddum bearing ores in various
places?
There is no doubt but many mines
in the tungsten area of Gilpin coun-
ty have produced tungsten that has
been thrown over the dump, just as
the mines on Quartz hill in the ear.

Mr.. E. G. Johnson,
Editor Newark Post.
In reply to the article in your
last weeks issue, relative to ac-
quainting the public as to what
Council is doing toward securing
an expert engineer, beg to say that
the Council held special meeting
the next evening after the Citi-
zens' Meeting and that a Commit
tee of three, consisting of Mr.. Will
son, Mr.. Frazer and myself were
appointed to take the matter up
with the u. S. Government author
tiles. We received a letter from
Senator Salisbury stating that
the Department of Public Health
at Washington insisted upon such
a request coming from our State
Board of Health. l took the mat
ter up with DR.. Frantz, secretary
of the State Board and he told me
to write letter making such a
request and that he would for
ward it along with his letter. |
am enclosing you his acknowledge
ment and also letter from Sena-
tor Salisbury. l wish to say,
however, that l did not make the
statement as to the situation be-
ing properly looked after, as l be-
lieved the object of getting an en-
gineer was to confirm the report
of our local Board. The matter
has been discussed at the last two
Council meetings, and as we were
informed by the Secretary of our
local Board, the conditions were
much improved, we did not think
it necessary to go to the expense
Of employing Sanitary Engineer

the government, asking them to
send a Sanitary Engineer as soon
as one is available.
