G|lP|N MINES BALL TEAM
WINS FROM GEORGETOWN

Central holds itself together Ike It
played Sunday, Georgetown would
have hard time to ever score
victory. Eo.h the infield and outfield
work. was exceptionally fast, the hit
ting was good and the work of Gem
tu'als battery was marvellous. KuQke
pttofed both games Sunday and La
lor caught, and this battery of stars
surely covered Themselves with glory.
The wire netting in front Of the
spectators stand is AID that saved
them from being hugged to death on
two or three occasions by the fair
and enthus aside feminine rooters
from Central. Morris, who played
r.ight field for Central, made the
sensational plays Of the day when
he scored two home runs. His bat
ting was UP to league standard all
The way Through, but when he made
two hits that enabled him to circle
the diamond, the spectators rose en-
masse and watched the ball rise up
ward and upward until it was ob-
scured by the clouds. 1t was indeed
a comical sight to see the hundreds
of people stretching their neckk and
re inded one of giraffe or ostrich
farm.
In the first game, Sunday, it was
toss-up as to which side would
win. Both teams scored two runs
IN the third inning and the tie con-
tinued until the last half of the
NINTH when Central got in another
run, making them the winners by the
close margin of 8 to 2. Only one co.
ror was made by the Mines team i'm
tie first game, Sunday, and two by
Georgetown.
Central showed up better in the
t!trd game than in the second and
not a single error was marked against
them while Georgetown made four.
In the final game Georgetown took
tie lead in the second inning with
one score and held it untrl the fifth,
when Central got I'm three runs.
Georgetown did not get in another
run until the last Of the eighth and
in tie first OF the ninth Central
'made anctisr rum which made -tha.
score to 2.
The Mines c'osed the 1916 season
with one of the classiest teame Gdl-
pin county has boasted of since the
prosperous days of the camp when
the population WIS twice what it is
today and money was as free as
Colorado Sunshine. The boys adver-
tised the old county as she has not
been advertised in years and earn
ed tie huzzahs Of praise that greet
ed them upon their return Sunday
evening as the undisputed champions
i'm base bali Of the Gilpin and Clear
Creek section.

The Central boys played at a disad-

SHELTER CUTS
COPPER TRIM

The Gslpin County Metal Miners
association, the largest and most
energetic organization Of its kind in
the state, had the subject Of cop
per under discussion for a long time.
After months OF careful consideration
and investigation Of the subject, and
frequent consultations with the smelt-
er people, have succeeded in making
some radical changes in the purchase
and treatment of OUR copper ores,
that will benefit the producer of ores
many thousands of dollars yearly.
The change entered into by the
smelters is as follows:
The arbitrary deduction of 1h%
on copper from the assay value here
tofore demanded by the smelters has
been reduced from 11s to 10. The
full significance OF this change can
only be appreciated by the thousands
OF toms OF ore, bearing a small per
cent OF copper THAT has heretofore
been counted as worthless in that
metal, now returning a profit.
1t is stated ON good authority, and
backed by government statistics,
THAT the ores OF Gilpin county aver
age from 1 to go copper, only such
ores as carry above 11a9o being paid
tor copper values. According to the
government reports fer 1915, Gilpin
county produced over a half million
pounds of copper which was paid for
over this excessive deduction Of " %.
A conservative estimate must place
the amount OF copper falling below
20, and not paid for under this
schedule (much of it assaying 1870
at ten times the amount of that
for above this schedule amounted to
more than our silver and lead prod
uct combined.
A glance at these figures, makes
enc realize what this additional one
half per cent means to the produc-
er. as it adds net value OF over
$500 per ton for his ores, at present
copper prices. Thds slight difference
in price, in many cases SPELLS the
success or failure in the profitable
working of many of our mines.
There are several mines i'm Gilpin
county that output over 1000 tons Of
ore per month of 1k9o copper, that
have heretofore received nothing for
their copper THAT Will now receive a
net profit of over $500 per ton. or
a profit OF from two to three thcn-
sand per month in excess of that
heretofore paid.
1t is an old and true maxim, "In
Union there is Strength" When we
were cropping aim'essly about, single
handed and alone, we were incompe-
tent to gain results, but when we
banded ourselves into a unity of ac-
taon, the efficiency Of the Gilpin
Chapter of Metal Miners association
have been most pronounced. and it
is to be hoped that through this live
and energetic association, we may
be able to gain more rightful and far
reaching concess'ors.
