AMONG THE MINES
HUBERT WILL WORK

A force Of men has been at work
the past ten days, repairing the ma
chinery and makirg other necessary
improv ements at tie Hubert mine
in Nevada. prepare ory to the re-
sumption of operators. Until recent
ly the water in the Hubert was a
most expensive problem, but the min
ers who have been working there
the past ten days say the water has
dropped from the 400 to SOO-foot lev
ell. This may be due to the fact that
the Prize mine, adjoining, has been
unwatered, affectir & the water in the
Hubert. This n,ire is one of the
old standbys of the county and few
Quartz hill producers have a better
record. The property paid handsome
dividends for years under the Boil
singer regime and with the develop
ment work that will be carried out
by the people who are to work 1T,
will no doubt add greatly to its for
mer production record. The Hubert
ore carried very heavy zinc values
with good showing of gold.

olLPlN's TUNGSTEN FIELDS

The tungsten fields of Gilpin coun-
ty, discovered recently, promise to
be the equal if not surpass those of
Boulder county. hat now command
the attention of the financiers of
tlle nation.
The rich belt in the Nederland dis
trict in Boulder county, has been
found to follow along THE eastern
slope of the main range. the entire
length of Gilpin county. and also that
of Clear Creek county. with a branch
following the spur from the main
range that extends nearly to Black
Hawk. The Pine Creek and Elk
Park districts, es we'll as Mammoth
gulch, that lies close to the main
range, already have many prospectors
bunting for the black metal, and in
another month, when the winters
snow has disappeared from these bar
rem hills, hundreds of prospectors
WIZ be found hunting fer float and
locating claims.
The high grade tungsten found In
the Pioneer tunnel near Apex several
weeks ego, and the groupings found
receptly in Elk Park and Mammoth
gulch leads one to believe that the
belt extends to Argentine Pass in
Clear Creek county. where several
mines OF this rich mineral were dis
covered late last fall
The tungsten mires recently dis
covered in the Hard-Money district,
two miles northwest of Black Hawk
and the late discoveries of the metal
on Clear creek, two miles above, that
returns assays of from 60 to $50,
has caused excitement, and many
prospectors are daily arriving and
stalking claims.
This, in connection with the recent
gold discoveries in the vicinity of
Gilpin, has given new life to the
northern and western portion of the
county. where thouse nds of acres of
public domain are still open for the
prospector, and will be thoroughly
explored the comirg summer.
Gilpin county for the past thirty
years, never looked more prosperous
that at the present, and is attract
ing the eye of the capitalist from
all parts Of the country to our rich
fields of gold, silver and tungsten.

RAISING ON TUNGSTEN

R. L. Martin, connected with the
Pioneer company in Pine Creek came
up from Denver this week and made
a trip to the tunnel to, see the big
tungsten find. Like everyone who
has inspected tie streak, he thinks It
is great and ought to be the means
Of the campany making barrel of
money.
Manager F. H. Thompson returned
from a trip to Denver Tuesday and
while down had some more tests
made of the ore ard found that the
samples taken from. the streak in
the back of the hlnnel contained
tungstic acid to the extent of 299o.
He has started radse in the tun-
mel where the streak shows the
strongest and has already sacked
quite a shipment CT tungsten from
the streak in the back of the tun-
mel and in the breast. The breast
OF the tunnel is being carried ahead
and the ore is carrying good gold
values besides the tungsten streak.

SILVER HIGHER THAN FOR
THE LAST QUARTER CENTURY

Silver has now reached price of
Tx cents per ounce and bids fair
to go still higher. This is the high
est price. paid fer the metal since
it's demonetizat'on in 1898. The
high price now beirg paid for our
by-products, suoh e.s lead, copper ,sil-
yer and zinc, has so stimulated the
mining industry in Colorado, as to
make the coming season one of the
most prosperous n is history.
The government reports recently
published showing the profits on GER
tafp lines of industry for tie year
1915, places minir at the head of
the list by many per cent. These
facts, brought out by the governmen mt
have stimulated the mining industry,
and the state is overrun with cap
italfsts seeking leg innate mining in
vestments, and it is the duty of each
and every mining chapter in the state
to see that the mining falair is curb
ed in promoting f, ke deals, that
have proven so disas rous to the min.
ing industry in the past.

MORRIS MINE

The shaft of the Morris mine close
to the Pittsburg and the Hampton in
the Lake district, is being retimber-
ed from the collar to the bottom,
the entire depth of 500 feet. The
work was started last month by the
Pearce Gold Mining company, com
posed of New York people. A big
cave was encountered at the 200-foot
level, so feet in extent and the work
of repairing the shaft is slow. The
levels will be extended east as soon
as the shaft is retimbered. The
mine has been Idle for three years,
but the unprecedented advance in
metals induced the operators to re-
sume operations. w. NJ. Kirk is in
charge Of the property.

LEASE o. x. NINE

Henry and Harry Eilmann and 9TH
eTs have taken a lease on the o.
X. mine and will start work the
middle Of the month. The property
Is we'll equipped with machinery and
the shaft is open and in good shape
down to the 4O0foot devel. The
lessees will confine their operations
for the present 10 the 200-foot level,
where ore is exposed, ready for break
ing. The o. X. ore runs very heavy
in copper lover 800 and with this
metal unusually high and going high
er, the lessees are bound to make
money. Beside the copper values, the
ore runs fair in geld and silver. Sew
eral years ago when the o. X. was
worked steadily, tie mine produced
fortune and copper then was worth
only about q third Of its present
price.

SHELTER TO AID GILPIN 81
CLEAR CREEK COUNTIES

Mr.. L. R. Clapp, mining engineer
connected with the American Smelt-
ing and Refining copmany, is in town
looking over the situation regarding
the increase in the production of
ores Of, not only this but Clear
Creek county.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing company, through their gentle
manly agent, Mr.. Mcdonald, have
famiharized themselves to a great
extent with cur conditions and APP
parently are anxiors to help out the
mine owner and miner to the best
of their ability.
With this adm in view, they have
delegated MIR. C'app to visit us and
fathom the Fundamental reason of the
decrease in our ore productions for
the past few years. and If possible,
place all our mdne again on a pay
ing basis. Therefore Mr.. Clapp is
here to take such steps, possible to
make the camp a great producer, as
of yore.
Mr.. Robert. T. Ssyre, president of
the Gilpin Chapter of Metal Mines
association, entreats all mine oper-
ators and lessees to extend to Mr..
Clapp, while sojourning among AIS
their hearty operatton in his un-
dertaking. Mr.. C'app will make Mr..
Sayre's office his headquarters dur
ing his stay in town, where all can
meet him and ob:an his friendly
views of our situation and who will
ever be found ready to aid i'm our
mining reformation.
Gilpin and Clear Creek counties
have steadily contributed to the
worlds wealth for TIE past half cen
tury, and the Amer can Smelling and
, Refining company have it DIN their
power to grant such concessions as
will enable these two pioneer min
eral counties to continue to pour
forth their golden treasures for the
benefit Of mankind and tie world at
large.
So far as President Sayre has been
able to judge, the smelling company
seem disposed to act fairly and as.
sist in once more placing us in a
position to again become great gold
and silver producing counties.

MORE TUNGSTEN FOUND

A pool of several conductors work
ing on the Moffat road. who located
some ground near the Manchester
mine near Rollinsville a few months
ago, have opened up' some very good
tungsten ore. Tie name of the claim
IS the Comet and, it is expected that
other tungsten finds will be made in
that vicinity.
The boom created at Rollinsville
as a result of the tungsten activity
is growing daily AID lots are selling
as fast as deeds can be made out.
The population is increasing rapidly
and sleeping and eating accommoda-
tions is becoming quite a problem.
Autos are meeting ell the Moffat pas.

INTELLIGENT MINING :.
INVESTMENTS

Never was there time when in
vestment in mines was so much en-
couraged as now. Ard the evidences
that new capital is entering the field
are plentiful enough to satisfy the
most skeptical. 1t is important that
the new era of m ming investment
shaa be kept clear of those extrav-
agances and evils which have so oft
en- marked the business of promotion
It is important that all friends of
the industry should contribute their
shares toward the education and i'm
provement of the class of investors
upon whom dependence must he
placed for new cacital. A decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court
of the United States a few days ago
with respect to eyaggerations in ad-
vertising. The couit held. that ex-
aggeration of sta:ement was as much
q representation in kind, If not in
degree, as deliberate falsehood. The
case in question related to the use

investments. If it is possible to de-
velop a higher serse of fairness in

finance, the whoe mining industry
IS sure to benefit by it. What ad-
vantage is there, after all, in depend

mach better off II its widespread

be the purpose CT this journal to

sUe-TREAsURY MINE

AT this old and reliable mine, the
usual activities prevail. The tonnag,
for April was lessened somewhat ,ow
ing to several circumstances.
Mr.. o. l.. Patterson, the lessee,
working through the Notaway shaft,
has purchased modern compressor
and it's installation has consumed
some time, but everything will be
in working order in few days, and
then work on an extensive scale will
be inaugurated. Owing to recent
storms, ore shipments have been de
layed and as a consequence the ore
bins are full, and the ore bodies in
the mine are very satisfactory.
Jack Cody and company, leasing
i'm the upper workings, have an eN-
cellent showing in their drift, and
a big strike is daily expected in un-
developed ground.
The development operations that
had been practically determined upon
by the company owning the mine,
have been postpored until petty liti-
cations can be Strengthened out.
This mine, uncer the superintend-
ency of Mr.. Patterson, has a bright
future.

will install finishing rolls. These
improvements will to large extent
eliminate the trouble had with spot.
ty ores as finer pulp will be pro-
duced. 1t is evident by the changes
the Chamberlain people are making
that they are desirous of improving
their sampling methods to satisfy
the ore shippers and give them a
better deal than they have been re-
ceiving. This is al being brought
about through the work of the Metal

Should the tungsten excitement
ern part of the county continue, the
probabilities are that the Han rail-
road. that was graded from Pactolus
on the Moffat line to Waiting hill, a

Silver Creek, could be supplied with
coal and provisions, and the output
fl ON the mines delivered at the Dem
Yer smelters at low COST
From Walling hill to Central City
the grade is comparatively level with
no heavy rockwork and could be
graded very cheaply. With the pres
ent high prices of lead, zinc, silver
gold, in which this country abounds,
this piece of read should be COM
pleted and open up a large area of
Gilpin's rich mineral country, that
has been held back for half GEN.
tury ON account of the want of prop
er transportation.
Giipin county and its people can
ably afford to assist the railroad
company towards tie completion of
this enterprise, and several of our
wealthy citizens who have large min
ing holdings in this part of the coun-
ty have signified their willingness to
assist in the work.
Now is the apT ointed time, when
