We understand there are several
mines on the line of the Gilpin
tramway that have large quantities
of concentrating ore stored ready
for shipment, but teams are too
scarce to haul the same. The mine
owners and Glpin county. should
make a desperate effort to place this
road again In operation. You never
miss the water til the well runs
dry" and we did not miss this cheap
mcde Of transrortating ore until 1t
was put out Of commission on ac-
count Of lack Of patronage.
