during the pervious year, and the
delinquent list of properties will
be small this year, indeed.
The many friends of J. B. Foley.
the popular cashier of the Bank
of Georgetown, will be pleased to
learn that altho he is still at st.
Joseph hospital in Denver, he has
passed the danger point and will
shortly return to resume his
duties in Georgetown.
While the drop in the price of
lead and zinc makes big differ
ence, with the increased price of
silver the price per ton seems to
be about the same.
The Georgetown sampler re-
ports a continued increase in the
ore receipts, the majority of the
ore coming from the Capital, Wal
dorf, the Stephen and Scotia con-
centrators.
The Sceptre company are now
actively engaged in installing
their aerial tram, which is to leave
the ore down to the railroad at a
greatly reduced cost. Large re-
serves are now in evidence in the
mine, the ore being of an excep-
tionally high grade.
Work on the Georgetown tunnel
is progressing satisfactorily, the
indications being that the head
ing is in close proximity to lode
that was a large producer from the
surface workings in the early days.
AS it will be intersected at depth
of about 800 feet good results are
anticipated.

Interest In Silver Min
ing On The Increase

No intelligent process of reason
ing can confuse or alter the per-
tinent facts that districts tributary
to Georgetown are destined to as
sumo their wpnted early-day act
ivity, because of the present and
future prospective price of silver.
Districts that have lain dormant
for years are now receiving the at.
tention of prospective investors,
and the demand seems to be on
the increase.
Old Democrat mountain, that
in the early days produced from
an area of 100 feet from the crest
of the mountain more than three
million dollars, is about to be
rehabilitated by the resumption
of work on some of the old mines
and we may confidently expect a
very material increase in our pro-
duction.
Harry Robinson, a prominent
attorney of Denver, has secured a
lease and option on the Mathews
tunnel and number of the mines
tributary thereto, the most notable
being the Big and Little Emma,
Fred Rogers, Government, Polar
Star, Polar Star Extension, Galsi,
Junction, Lucky and Hespress
lodes. These lodes have produced,
to make up the above total, ores
averaging from $50 to 1000 ounces
per ton and have given a wide
celebrity to this particular district
because of the high silver values.
