Simpson Dispr0ves An
Old-Time SuppOSitiOn

The Smuggler mine at Silver
Plume is making splendid pro-
duction as development progresses
going west into McClella a II
mountain.
The Smuggler- Mendoza vein
crosses the main gulch on its
western trend, and it has always
been the theory Of some imaginary
miners that this vein system
would play out, or at least be of
no value on the south side of the
canon, but the manager, Jerry
Simpson, being a miner of prac-
teal experience and good judg-
ment, did not accept the common
theory but continued the No. )
level, which is about 100 feet be-
low the creek. to a point where
another vein intersected showing
good silver ore, and is now driving
drift on each. with two good
streaks instead of nothing as was
predicted.
Mr.. Simpson was given en-
'couragement by few men who
had done prospecting on the south
side, and it is now considered that
where this vein system intersects
the poryphry crossings larger and
richer ore bodies will be opened
The Siftings is indeed glad to
learn OF the great. success with
which our friend Jerry is meeting,
for no one. is more deserving, and
his ability as manager is unex-
celled. He knows the business
and both the company and the

A Vote OF Thanks

citys water supply and the powder
storage magazines, it fell upon
one citizen to assume multiplicity
of MINOR duties in looking after
the soldiers, to see that they were
properly housed and supplied
with at least some of the comforts
of life. O. Barlow Willmarth as
sumed that responsibility, and
that was enough, for what Mr..
Willmarth sets out to do he does
thoroughly. He is a dynamo of
energy-and unseltish energy, at
that.
His conn ection with the original
safety committee as secretary
brought the same results. He
gave of his valuable time and ex-
perience that every detail of the
work be carried out i'll business
like way-and it was. .. Barlow
Willmarth is considered by those
who know him well, as one of the
most energetic and unselhsh men
that ever came TO Idaho Springs
