Tungsten south of silycrton.

Considerable interest is being mani
Tested in the section beyond Molas
lakes and around the head of Cascade
creek. Several parties have reported
seeing tungsten bearing veins in that
section, and some good tungsten sam
pies have been brought in from that
section. The snow is going off rap
idly over there, and the prospectors
are looking over the ground just as
fest as the snow allows them, and
undoubtedly some valuable mining
property will be opened up there.

Considerable prospecting is being
done in the Red Mountain section for
tungsten ores, and from the reports
that come down some good finds are
being made. The tungsten indications
are good in the district east of Iron
ton, and along the Red Mountain
there, between there and the heads of
Cement creek and the Uncomphagre,
Also some good finds have been made
in the Mineral point section. Also be
tween Sheridan junction and Ophir, on
the intervening range, some strikes
are reported. We look for quite a
lively time this year in the Red Noun

APPROPRIATION INCREASE
FAVORED BY u. S. SENATE

1t will be remembered that an eff
fort has been made to increase the
original appropriation for the gov
'rnment highway across the SER
yations from the Mesa Verde to Gal
up from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t met
considerable opposition and it was
thought that it would have to sand
1t the $4,000, but our state sena-
5ors took the matter up and pushed
it thru the senate. 1t will be up
20 the house to concur in the senate
measure. In this connection and in
explanation of the new highway the
Denver News published the follow
ng article;
An item of $4,000 which Senator
John f. Shafroth has inserted in the
indian appropriation bill in Washing
on yesterday for road building in
outhwestern Colorado, brings about
The connection of the Colorado state
road system with the Santa Fe trail at
iallup, N. NJ, and the southern trans
Continental highway to the Pacific
coast. 1t will complete a thru route
hat will link the Mesa Verde ma
ional park and the autombile high
way extending from the Atlantic to
he Pacific.
When the bill passed the house, Rep
resentative Edward T. Taylr procur-
ed provision for $4,000 to build
Tho road. This was increased to $751;
900 by Senator Shafroth when it
reached the senate.
Fund Available July 1.
The amendment provides for the
construction of road from Mesa
Verde to Gallup. The appropriation
will be available July l. Inciden-
tally the new link opens up a cross
country north and south highway that
will connect the east and west trans
continental highways thru the north
ern part of the country by way of
the Yellowstone park highway at
Cheyenne and thru Colorado to the
Santa Fo trad highway.
The direct rolte from Denver,
where the roads center, is by way of
Morrison up the Platte canon to
Buena Vista and Salida, thence over
Poncha pass to Saguache and to Del
Norte. From aere the route is over
the new state highway, now nearly
completed TO Pagosa Springs and
thence to Durango.
Good Road Part of Way.
There now is a good road from Du-
range to Pennington, N. NJ, and an
other from there TO Shiprock. There
is also a good road from Durango
TO Mancos, from which entrance is
had to the Mesa Verde park over a
highway built by the government.
The new road will be built from
Mancos to Gallup, where it will con-
meet with the Sopta Fe trail.
Colorado Springs and connecting
territory reaches the direct route
named thru the Ute Pass, Pueblo and
Canon City, up the Arkansas river to
a connection at Salida. The route
from Walsenbu q and connectiong
points would oe by way of La Veta
pass to Alamosa and thence to Del
Norte.

This week Manager JOS Boyce
made a rich strike of tungsten ore
in the Hercules mine, which lies at
the south end Of Main street Of the
town of Silyerton. He has been en-
gagged the past six weeks in unwater-
ing the shaft on the lower level, pre-
paratory to sinking in another hun
bred feet, and after getting the water
out, was making an examination Of
the ore bodies in sight. Imagine his
surprise when examining the vein in
the lower drift, to find a streak of
tungsten ore, about six inches in width
in the vein. He brought some sam
pies up town, and they proved to be
high grade tungsten ores. He then ex-
amined this vein where opened up in
one Of the upper levels, and finds n
good looking streak of the tungsten
ore there. The samples are fine ones
and those who have looked at the
showing claim that it is the best look
ing ore in the district. Another en-
c1uraging thing about the strike is
that it is found over 500 feet below
the surface, and again at 200 feet be-
low, making it certain that in this dis
triet, tungsten ores go deep. On the
other properties they have not had
time to ascertain how deep the tung-
stem ores go, and some thought it
might be a surface ore only, but this
rew discovery proves that it goes
deep. We anticipate not only that
considerable work will he done on this
property this year, but that the ones
near, the North Star, Champion and
ether properties on Sultan mountain
will be thoroly explored for tungsten
ores. We congratulate Mr.. Boyce on
his discovery.-Silverton Miner.

Probably one of the purest streaks
of tungsten ore thus far found in the
country is the five inch vein recently
opened up by C. A. Marshall and as
sociates in their new location on Ce-
ment creek. The grade is sufficiently
high to bring top notch prices in
crude shipments. The lucky owners,
however, have decided to concentrate
it with the balance of the milling
part Of the vein, which will give Al
concentrate far above 10 per cent

There is no need Of the local press
adding color to the true facts with
reference to our tungsten fields in
order to induce outside people to the
San Juan districts. The truth is suf-
ficiently edifying. as the rush is on
and we are powerless to intensity or
discourage it, Our aim and also that
of our contemporary is to give tn,
true facts only and just as they APP
pear to us, and from such as we have
been able to gather from personal
observation and reliable resources, we
feel that we can not too vigorously
denounce this unreasonable attempt
to belittle the true merits Of the
San Juan tungsten mines by the cir
culation of the lSnife-blade, spotted
shallow theories as n fallacious bub-
BILE, which the Dora find alone and
its confirmation by Mr.. Innis, com
pletely bursts. SO we do not hest
tate to say to those who are think
ing of entering our mining fields this
coming spring or summer, do not be
misled by these wilfully malicious re-
ports, which developments from day
to day are proving to be as false as
they are viscious.--Silverto Stand
