Great Future for Colo
RADIO Central Property

The reopening of the deep levels
of the old Colorado Central group
of mines is being continued along
lines that are bound to be pro-
ductive of good results.
A considerable quantity of con-
centrating material is being made
in retimbering and cleaning out
old drifts along the big lode which
has produced from eight to ten
million dollars.
This strong, rich network of
veins is the big mine-maker of the
Georgetown district, and from the
thoro sampling and other obser-
vations of some of the most ex-
pert mining engineers of the state
a great future is predicted for the
property.

High Priced Silver
Makes More MINING

Edward J. Wilcox, one of the
most successful mining promoters
that was ever interested in the
upper Clear Greek district, was in
Georgetown during the week ex-
amining the operations of Harris
& Campbell on the. old Waldorf
properties, in which he is one of
the largest shareholders. He is
we'll satisfied with the present out
look and predicts a great future
for the company.
Mr.. Wilcox says the surface has
only been scratched, and with bar
silver continuing to climb, his
prediction is for the most pros
porous mining year the district
has ever known.
There are a number of his claims
that are not being worked at all
now, but he is ready to begin
operations as he anticipates the
price of silver will soon reach a
point where it will be profitable to
mine and ship the ores from is
olated places.
This reasoning is applicable to
every part of the county as there
are big mines in every section that
can be operated at profit if silver
remains at its present high mark.
The demand for silver is still on
the increase, and it is confidently
predicted that it will not stop in
its upward climb until it reaches
above dollar. 1t may take some
time for it to reach that mark but
it is bound to come.
Charles Rodda, who had enlisted
in the Engineer Corps of the
National Guard, returned home to
Georgetown this week, having
been rejected due to his poor eye
sight.
The dance and supper given by
the local branch of the Red Cross
on last Friday night was grand
success. No definite figures are
obtainable at the present time,
but neat sum was realized.
