6228 PEOPLE USE COCHE-
TOPA PASS DURING 1916
Actual Count Shows This Number Used Auto Road,
that Was Only Trail Four Years Ago.

A record of the amount and character
of travel over the Cochetopa Pass Road
which was constructed by the Forest
Service in cooperation with Saguache
county. covering the period from April
l, to November 80, 1916, was kept by
the foreman of the Forest Service road
maintenance crew.
Actual count was made for a suffici-
ent number of days to give a good basis
for an estimate of the amount of travel
by months. 1t is interesting to note
that the first automobile crossed Co
chetopa Pass on April 2, and that the
last automobile crossed the pass on De-
cember II, making a period of eight
and one-half months that this pass was
open to automobile traffic during the
past calendar year. 1t is believed that
this record can not be equaled by any
other road over the Continental Divide
in Colorado.
On basis of l72 days actual count,
and by estimating the days when travel
was not counted, we find that there
were 14l8 autos actually counted
and 1909 estimated as the total OF
wagons 53l were counted and 76s esti-

MINES At WHITE PINE
PROMISE WELL FOR 1917

The big Akron company is doing the
major part of the mining at White Pine
this winter. not only taking out some
ore from their tunnel and doing devel-
opment work there, but operating the
tlotation mill and shipping high grade
copper ore from the Spar Copper and
Ensign mines. which they have leased.
Seven or eight teams are hauling
every day to Sargents. and the man
sgement wants still more transporta-
ton facilities. The new vein opened in
the Ensign ore is an iron copper car
Donate. The iron pays the expenses on
this highly desirable ore, and copper is
left for profit A. Woodworth and Jack
Devins are working for the Akron peo-
pie, driving the Silver Trowel tunnel to
catch the old Erie workings.
At the Gunnison Copper Company up
Tomichi creek, Manager Robinson has
three men back at work after the holi-
days. They are driving tunnel,
already in $50 feet and preparing a
shipment of the surface copper deposit.
Snow is four feet deep at Tomichi and
three feet on the level at White Pine.

tunnel at the Denver City. preparatory

YOUR AUTO CARD AND
HUNTING LICENSE EARLY

County Clerk Lobdell is busy these
days making out car licenses The rush
started Tueseay morning with A. j..
Chinery. Next came Geo. Anderson
and Perry Sammons. There was an
effort made to secure for old cars the
same license number as last season but
it didn't work. Here in Gunnison coun-
ty the numbers start with 46376, and
by the big box of plates received from
the secretary of state by freight he
evidently expects quite a rush.
In 1915 there were 40 auto licenses
issued. last year POS and this year will
undoubtedly crowd the 300 mark The
tag for the little Ford costs 81. so,
thence up according to horse power.
There is also rush to secure hunting
licenses, for while the festive cotton
tail is so scarce as to make hunting his
pelt useless pastime, there are many
who provide themselves early with this
bit of pasteboard, so that they are pre-
pared for the balance of the year

mated as total on same basis. There
were % motorcycles counted and five
more, or enough to make total of SO,
probably passed in the days when count
ing did not take place.
The distribution of travel may be OBJ
served by noting that in the case of
autos. 43 went over the pass in April,
l30 in May. 80 in June, Ais in July,
445 in August, 264 in September, 16S in
October and "a in November, with prob
ably half a dozen in December.
In addition to these classes there
were a considerable number of pedes-
trians and horse back riders who used
this road. Conservatively estimating
that each automobile contained an
average of three people, each wagon
l, and each motorcycle |, it is found
that total of 622s persons used this
road during the period which this time
covered.
In fact there is little doubt, but that
if enough people really wanted to mo-
tor over the pass, it could be kept open
during the average winter without
great expense, and through route to
Denver maintained from the Western
Slope.
