On Thursday the CITY Conf

On Thursday the City Cont
mSsloncrS met in special meeting
and pure ha>ed outright for New
Iberia one Of the American La
France Gasoline Motor Cars
which will replace the horse truck
of iberia Fire Company No. |.
This machine carries two ladders,
one ~ feet and the other - feet
together with fifteen hundred
feet of hose. The engine is Of
75-horsc power and the manufac-
turerS guarantee the truck to ne
/ gOtlate our streets in almost any
condition. The cost of the ma
chine is $500, payable in from
one to five years, which makes it
somewhat easy on the City to
meet the payments. There are
two other auto manufacturers
who had bids in, but they were
all the same. The American La
France motor truck have their
machines placed at Donaldson
vile. Plaquemine and Houma and
the Commissioners were satisfied
that it was the best suited for
New Iberia. On Tuesday, Mayor
Sealy and Commissioner Viller-
min visited Houma for the pur-
pose of inspecting the machine
before making the purchase and
icing satisfied it would meet all
requirements, on Thursday the
Board closed for it. In about
ninety days from now the ma
chine will arrive and be turned
over to iberia Fire Company No.
/. We understand the span Of
black horses that now pulls tho
truck will be sold for cash and
the money utilized in the pur-
chase Of two mules for the garb-
age wagons and to do other street
work. The fire truck now in use
is in such condition that it would
soon have to be replaced and it
was thought best to equipt our
Fire Department with the best
apparatus possible If we hope to
have efficient work done when
there is a confagration. "

will be a candidate to succeed

)udicious investments in the County
OF Gilpin when the same are con.
Quoted along correct business lines.
For your further information /
Will state that this company is pro-
ceedipg to install at the Wood mine
complete installation, consisting of
boiler, compressor, geared hoist and
pump for the operation of the Wood
unit alone. When these improve
ments have been installed, which we
hope to accomplish not later ;han
July lst, it is the intention to pro-
ceed to place in actual operation the
German mine, which We hope to ac-
complish not later than approximate
ly August 1st. After we have pur-
sued the necessary development work
in this unit and placed the same on
a producing basis, which we sincere
ly hope and trust can be accomplish
ed at an early date, we will then pro-
ceed to place in operation the Belch-
er mine and with this plan of pro-
cedure being absolutely and definite
ly formed as to the intentions of
the future operation of this company,
we hope by energetic business meth
ods to have the entire unit recently
acquired by this company in actual
operation in the fall of 1916.
1T is not necessary for me to as
sure you that we are very desirous
to accomplish the above mentioned
results at the earliest possible date,
but in the meantime We are pursu-
ing the work with the assistance OF
our competent and efficient Superin-
tendent, Mr.. Harry C. Willis, along
such lines as will meet with success
for all parties interested in this
company"

WHY PEOPLE BUY
MINING STOCKS

1t is not difficult to understand
why people become so intensely in
terested in the purchase of mining
stocks VIXEN the record of mining
industry in America is carefully con-
stde-ed-- There is no other industry
that has paid such wonderful profits
as mining. Holders of mining stocks
during the year 1915 realized no less
than 800 100000 in profits through
advances in the prices of these stocks
during the last year.
The dividend record for the year
1915 Is as wonderful as the record of
increased values in stocks. The huge
sum of s110,047,145 was paid in div
idends during the year 1915 by AM
erican metal mines and works and
securities holding companies. Exclus.
i've Of the holding companies, the
metal mines and works included in
last years figures have paid total
dividends of 1891 ,477,175, a return of
invested capital of $242, ,O23, ,41O addi.
tional. No other of the nations in
dustries has made such showing.
Sixty-two of the companies included
in the above figures are gold min
ing companies. They have paid divi-
dends to date amounting to $236,781,-
453 on an issued capital of $161 1885,
O69, or more than 1859 on the orig
inaI MISUNDERSTANDING American.

MEMBERS OF COlORADO-G|LP|N COMPANY
WILL COME FROM EAST IN SPECIAL Carl

The Observer is in receipt of a very
interesting and highly encouraging
letter from VIM. Wright, of Philadel-
phia, president of the Colorado-Gdl-
pin Gold & Radium Mining company,
operating the German, Belcher and
Wright's letter teens with optimism
and a portion of it is reproduced to
show what this company is doing to
improve conditions in Gilpin county:
Il also desire to advise you that
the Colorado -Gilpin Gold & Radium
Mining Co., is attempting to place
Gilpin county and the Central City
district in particular, in the position
to which it belongs, and with this
object in view the undersigned, with
his associates, intends to visit the
property of this company in the ear
ly part of July. leaving Philadelphia
by special car through to Denver,
at noon on July Sth, and arriving in
the City of Central on the evening
train of July 10th. There will be in
this party no less than some 20 in
dividuals who are financially interest
ed in the future welfare of this com
pany, and it is the object of this body
of Eastern stockholders of this COM
pany to thoroughly investigate and
, to become familiar with the future
prospects and operation of the sever
al properties now in our control.
These stockholders will undoubted-
ly prolong their visit in the City of
Central and vicinity until approx
imately July 18th.
81 believe that this is a move in
the right direction and will advertise
to some small extent the resources
and possibilities to be derived from

MICHIGAN HILL
TUNGSTEN ORE

r. N Lewis and DIR. Guy Ashbaugh
who recently made some locations
on Michigan mountain, above Apex,
have a wonderful showing for the
depth attained. The vein is from 12
to IA feet in width, half of which car
ries tungsten. Last week lot of
427 pounds was sent over to Clark,
the tungsten buyer in Boulder coun-
ty Tor test run. The lot showed
tungstic acid to the extent of 0.20%.
Other claims were located on Mich
igan hill about the same time that
Lewis and Ashbaugh filed on thedr
ground and the presence of tungsten
shows in NUMEROUS places. G. E.
Fritz, f. w. Bertagnolli and others
who are interested in some ground
adjoining the Lewis and Ashbaugh
claims have located strong vein
several feet in width that tests we'll
for tungsten. There is quite Lot
of work going on Michigan hill and
many claims have been staked. This
section has been attracting people
from the outside and it would not
be surprising to see decided boom
in the Apex vicinity as a result of
the discovery of tungsten.

MINING ITEMS
OF INTEREST
sUe.TREAsURY NINE

This mine is maintaining it's good
record as a regular shipper. Owing
to the disturbance of operations this
month. occasdoned by the placing OF
the new compressor, the tonnage fell
a little short of the usual amount,
now that the power question Is un-
der control it will be but a short
time when this mine will work 100
to $50 men.
Some 900 tons of rough ore, screen
ings, mill dirt and copper grade, re-
Gently sold, had an average value
per ton of 2.2S ozs. gold, 1903 ozs.
silver and $3.50 dry copper, averag-
ing $61.S5 per ton gross.
The above is from the Patterson
lease. Cody and Co., leasing in the
upper workings of this mine, have a
promising prospect and expect to be
making regular shipments in a short
time.
There is some good ground below
the Cody lease and above the Patter-
sen ground that is open to lease
through the Sub-Treasury shaft.
Central City citizens should en-
courage the efforts being put forth
at this mine by Mr.. Patterson, as
he has shown himself to be a pro-
gressive mining man and capable OF
successfully handling a difficult sit.
uaAion under distressing circum-
stances, and We wish we had more
mining men like him in the county.

CRIPPLE cREEkERS FIND
TUNGSTEN At ROLLiNSvlLlE

News of an important tungsten
find in the vicinity of Rollinsville
reached Boulder q couple OF days ago.
