GERMAN N-BELCHER
COMMENCES WORK
TWO MACHINE DRILLS WILL BE
USED IN EXTENDING LEVELS
BIG FORCE OF MEN TO BE
WORKED.

The Colo. .-Gilpin Gold 4 Radium
Belcher group on Quartz hill, started
work on company account after
Christmas. The coal house at the
Wood has been enlarged and the
building will now hold 80 tons of
coal. An iron-clad powder magazine
has also been constructed that will
hold tons of powder. The small
air line is being taken out of the
Wood and will be replaced with a
larger one.
At the German, the coal bin has
been enlarged and a good supply of
coal has already teen put in. The
power plant has been overhauled and
is now in good working order. The
compressor on the German will be
used to furnish air for the Wood as
the German compressor has larger
capacity than the Wood
Two machine drills will be used on
the Wood at the $50 aud 425 east
and west These drifts were just
started when the mine was shut
down. The last shirment taken from
the $50 and the 425 points, close to
the shaft, when the lessees We're or
dercd to clean ur, ran 4.50 o2s. gold,
10 ozs. silver and go copper. The
second class ran 1.70 ozs. gold, .
ozs. silver and no copper. There
were five tons of the first class and
ten tons of the second.
The Wood Shaft is down 44S feet
and very little work has been done
below the 275-foot level. 1t is all
virgin ground with the exception of
little work that has been done
close to the shaft. In sinking the
shaft frcm the 275 to its present
depth. shooting everything together,
the ore extracted averaged two ounc-
es to the cord on the plates and the
tailings went .95 ozs. The pitchblende
in the Wood was taken out near the
shaft at the 200 and as the vein pitch
es west it is expected that the shoot
will be encountered lower down wien
the levels are extended westward.
Supt. Harry Willis, a thorough and
practical mining mfn, is in charge OF
the work and says he expects to
employ at least ten miners shortly,
when ground is opened up.

FLoTATIoN

The Engineerir and Mining Jour
nal of New York is publishing a. ser
les OF articles on flotation, and in
making their announcement they say:
Wien Anaconda can get $50 of
tie copper out of its ore instead of
7o%, 1t has been securing, and make
this saving pay for the new five-mil-
honfdollar equipm ent in eight months
1t ID time for everybody to give at
tention. Flotaticn is the thing that
made the big share of this saving,
and that process is no longer to be
a closed book to anyone"
Think of it-not $4,000, 900 90 prof
1t in eight months. but $4,000, ,0OO. 90
more profit than would have been
made under the old system, an addi-
tional saving of over half million
dollars per month.
There are in Eoulder county mil
lions CT tons of ore already mined
that require only grinding and flota-
ton TO make them yield up their
values. There are abandoned mines
that could not be successfully works d
under the old meth DDS which will be
re-opened and made productive. Flo
tation is not complicated process,
nor is it expensive to install. In
fact plant can be constructed for
far less than the old style concen-
tration plant.
On the threshold of 1916 the indi-
cations are that Boulder county will
have the banner year of her history,
and q large share of this increased
activity will be due to flotation. AL.
ready one of the largest producers
have announced their intention OF
building plant to treat the 200 ,000
tens &C milling ore now in sight
Their example will be followed by
others uniil the hills of Boulder coun
ty will be alive wi Ii activity-Bould
er Minsr.
r-SSi' oin county, as well as Boulder
is one vast treasure vault of the DIFF
ferent varieties of ore and flotatior
would make hundreds of thousands {
dollars CT difference in its annua
output, and sooner or later, some en-
terprising firm will enter the field
and give us that relief we haYe sc
long been denied. The San Juan
country is at its heighth of prosper
| ity because this method of saving
values has been int. oduced into near
ly every mill in the district. Let
Gdlpin county get a move on Itself
and add flotation in every mill.

STAR OF THE WEST
MAKES BIG STRIKE
BODY OF ORE NINE FEET WIDE
ENCOUNTERED ON ss5-FooT
LEVEL THAT RUNS HIGH IN
GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER.

The Observer mining reporter, hav-
ing heard that the Star OF the West
mine, in Lake district, had uncover
ed large body of ore recently, drove
to the mine yesterday and inspected
both the top and underground work
ings s
This group of mines consists of
area Of % acres, viz: The Star of
the West, Nos. l and 2, the Hard-to-
Beat and the Gibson. They were To-
Gated and patented many years ago
and some $4,000 worth OF ore taken
therefrom when they, like many 9TH
er mines in Gilpin county lapsed in
to state of idleness.
In company of Foreman Harper, we
were lowered to the bottom of the
shaft, distance Of 335 feet, thence
followed drift on the shaft vein
west for distance of $50 feet, thence
through a crosscut for 50 feet, where
Star of the West No. is intersect-
ed. AT this point the vein shows
some six feet of ore and the breast
OF drift now being driven westerly
some s feet from crosscut shows a
breast of ore 8 feet wide, two7thirds
of which is sme,ting ore and the re-
rla.nder concentrating ore from which
several assays have been taken
across the breast ranging in value
from $50 to $50 per ton. This i'm
mense ore shoot dips to the wet as
depth is gained ard is increasing in
width as tie drift is extended. 1t
is 335 feet from this point to sur
face, all virgin ground, and should
this shoot extend to surface the am
cunt of ore in tonnage is almost in
calculable.
The Gibson, also has a shaft 200
feet deep with levels started both
east and west at intervals Of 100 feet
and whose several breasts contain
streaks of concentrating ore from
8 to 4 feet wide. This shaft is COW
cred by a CONNIE odious shaft house,

group of mines, that now have thou-
sands of tons of ore in sight are
thoroughly equipped for hosting, a
mill at the mine to treat this i'm
mense quantity of ore will be neces-
sity, as it will save thousands of
dollars In hauling and milling expen-
ses.
These mines have stood idle for
years, and their vacant shaft houses
have seen the experienced miner
daily pass the doors, reckoning them
to pause and explore the golden
treasures that lay hidden below, but
the facts had decreed different, and
it remained for H. r. Wade, a tender
foot from Ohio, who was sojourning
here last summer, to be enamored
