dence Of the efficiency of any remedy

doubtedly the merit of this remedy.
Years ago your friends and neighbors
testified to the relief they had derived
from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
They now confirm their testimonials.
They say time has completed thetest.
DR.. A. Battle, dentist, Jefferson ST.,
Brownsville, says: about eight years
ago, | was troubled a gread deal by
weak kidneys. The kidney secretions
were too frequent and scanty in pas
sage and sometimes painful. My head
ached and sometimes | had sharp pains

Pills made me well and haven't been
bothered since. The entire credit for
my cure belongs to Doan's Kidney
Pills"

needed for successful smelling are to
be had from the mines of this To-
cdlity. The Irwin properties produce
purely silicious ore, high grade in
silver with some gold values. The
Keystone, Redwell basin, Poverty
gulch and Gothic mines. have COM
plex ores carrying high values of
silver, lead and zinc. The big min
eral veins OF Treasury ,Galena, Crys-
tai and Cinnamon mountains, show
commercial values in copper, lead
and zinc along with high silver con-
tents. The Brush creeks and Italian
mountain mines are in lime por-

Mining Notes.

Porter Nelson OF Aspen, owner
of the North Pole mine i'll Crystal
was a recent Visitor OF tho County
seat. 1t is expected nc will arrange
to operate this old mine in the near
future, inasmuch as the ore OF the
property should have good COM
mercial values at the present time,
after paying mining and transpor-
tation expenses. Some years since
this mine was operating and ship
ing ore regularly to smelling con-
cern ut Grand Junction that made
a speciality Of treating copper ores.
The North Pole mine has q ten foot
vein carrying ten and twelve per cen.
copper and some twenty ounces OF
silver besides the copper values.

who mined and packed out quaint
tiles cf ore with train jicks to
Crested Butte for shipment. The
ores assayed from 30 20 60 per cent
lead and i0ounces III silver per ton e.
Mr. Timmons made his headquarters
in the old town OF Schotield and
bad his own assay outfit there and
owned the pack animals used. The
Crown is still in IN undeveloped
condition owing largely to the poor
health of its owner, The mine itself
carries good percentage Of copper
besides the lead and silver, bat the
low price Of copper at the time Tim
mons was operating there it added
nothing to the ore values, at the
present prices of copper, lead and
silver, this mine should pay from
the time operations are started on
the property.

sMELTER AND ORE REDUCTION WORKS NECESSITY
FOR GREATEST PROSPERITY MINING INDUSTRIES
GUKN'SoN COUNTY AND WESTERN SLOPE
CRESTED BUTTE THES NATURAL LOCATION

With the rapid and constant rise
in the metal markets of the world,
it is self evident that greater ot-,
tention to metal mining will be given
than ever Lefore in the historyof the
mining Industries OF the country.
Under these conditions thousands
more miners will be employed and
millions more dollars invested in
prospecting, developing and oper:
ating metal mines Ore production
will be equadrupled and consequently
the capacity of smelling works land
metal reiineries will need to be in
creased proportionatly. For over
forty years has Gunnison county
and other mines OF the Western
slope been shipping their ores over
the Marshal pass, Cero hill and the
Hagerman divide, to reach snelters
located at Sali1a, Pueblo and D, nver,
while along side Of each car of ore,
was one OF Crested Butte coke with
which to smelt the ore, this together
with the fact that the smelling
charges were double what they
would have been had the smelling
plant required, been located here
where are the mines, the ore pro-
duced the coal mined and coked for
smelling purposes. When the R.R.
transportation charges are added to
that of smelling, the two will a.
mount to half, and many times full
value of the ores shipped. What
wonder under these circumstances,
with declining prices of silver and
lead. many OF the mines shut
down.
At present prices of Lead, Copper
and Zinc, the principal metals pro:
.duced from the mines this locality
two dollars maybe had instead OF
one paid for the same ores few
years ago. This together with that
saved from railway transportatioh
OYER Marshal pass to outside smelt-
crs, would insure the profitable op-
Grafton OF hundreds Of mines now
idle, were smelling works estahl she'd
this side OF The Continental divide.
Relative to Crested Butte being the
natural location for establishing ore
reduction and smelling works, a
few facts may be given favoring the
plan. The main expense in operating
smelling works, is the coke and ceal
required to smelt the ore and gem
crate steam to make power to run
the machinery. These are here in
piantity,q uality unsurpassed. the
big C.F. &. I.minc has for over
thirty years supplied the coke and
coal to run the LeadviIle, Salida
Pueblo and Denver smelters, This
great old mine is equa! to half a
century more OF equal production
of coal and coke.
Next to the fuel supplies requisite
to ore smelling is the proper flnxing
