Work Resumed AT
French Flag Mine

Manager G. S. Ripley of the
Fren ch Flag mine resumed opera
tions on that property last Monday,
with former foreman Steve Harper
in charge. A force of five men are
now employed and the work for the
present will be confined to the
driving of the lower level which is
315 feet deep. and the breast l75
feet west of the shaft, which shows
a body of good ore for 100 feet in
length.
The inflow of water from the
east is very much less than it has
been, which goes to show that the
country east Of the shaft has been
pretty we'll drained. This feature
alone will be the means of cutting
down the expense of operating.
With the present price of silver
and lead, and the showing of ore
in this mine, it certainly looks as
though the, French Flag mine will
be one of the best in the county.

Valuable Mill Sold
Under Foreclosure

The Combination mill, formerly
owned and operated by Richard
F. Staley, was sold by Sheriff A.
E. Straub under a foreclosure of
mortgage, last Tuesday. The
Chesbro Investment company of
Seattle, Washington, held a
mortgage for the sum of $l2, ,54l .43
on the mill, water right, and several
buildings belonging to til e
property. Horace Chesbro, a rep
resentative of the investment
company came from Seattle to at
tend the sale and as there We're no
bids offered he bought in the whole
business.
The mill was built but a few
years ago by r. f. Staley and is
one of the best constructed mills
in the county and could not be
duplicated today for twice the
amount for which it was mortgaged
The investment company did moi
want the property but under the
circumstances they were compelled
to take it over.

anF citizens of Denver leaving
their homes in the early morning,
could spend the midday hours at
the fummit of the mountain and
return home in time for the eve

Denver would be but sixty miles.
Mohnt Flora is in both the Pixies

and in both Clear Creek and Grand

The road once completed would
advertise the unexcelled attrac-
tions, command much travel that
is now diverted to less attractive

lists and much state travel to Idaho

town as many would wish to visit
the county seat and would continue
their journey via the proposed
Loveland Pass route.
1t would be a great benefit to

Fine Specimen From

A fine specimen of ruby silver
and gold ore is on exhibition at
Shaffer and Curran's assay office.
The ore comes from the lease of
Shaffer and Philips on the AL
MAIDEN mine on Fall river and was
encountered in the stope above
the tunnel level. The Almaden
mine has long been noted for its
rich ruby silver ore and the speci-

King Winter Produces
Beautiful Sight to See

Ice formations along the pipe
line up Chicago creek, leading
down to the Little Matte mill,
are indescribably beautiful, and
we'll worth the two or three mile
trip to see them. There are small
leaks in the pipe which in mild
weather release but playful fount-
aims. Now, however, following
the long, cold winter, for about a
half mile we find most elaborate
statues. and arches and caves and
columns towering at least fifty feet
into the air. The ice over the
pipe line is continuous with that
over the covering and the effect is
that of beautifully sculptured
marble with sprays spouting above
the whole at frequent intervals.
Occasionally, an unaccountable
streak of blue varies the dazzling
whiteness of the scene.
Similar phenomena have oc-
Cured in this vicinity before, but
never has the present elaborate
spectacle been SO conveniently
available for sightseers.

Business Is Good
At SiftingS Office

1t is always said that when
business is good with the printer
it is good with everybody else.
Merchants use more bill heads.
letter heads and envelopes. Mining
companies use more report blanks
issue more requisitions, keep more
records of various kinds. Business
at the Siftings office continues to
improve right along. Each week
shows better than the correspond
ing week year ago in job print
ing, in advertising, and in the
collection of subscriptions.
One of the reasons our job de-
partment is always busy is because
local merchants and mine operators
have grasped the idea that they
can now have work done here at
home that was formerly sent to
Denver, Lincoln or Chicago, and
at money-saving prices.
A new series of beautiful new
type has just been added to oul
equipment. It's swell stuff for
nice letter heads, cards or state
ments. How's your supply?
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-02-16

A project that has been under
consideration by the Empire Com
mercial Association for some
months is now submitted to the
public for their consideration and
soliciting their cooperation to put
the project thru.
1t is proposed to construct an
automobile road from the summit
of Berthoud Pass to the apex of
Mount Flora, which attains an ell
ovation of 1900 feet and affords
view Of the grandest and most
magnificent scenery to be seen
from any mountain peak in the
state. Look to the east, look to
the west, to the north and the
south and you behold the grandest
natural panorama of beauty and
grandeur that can be obtained in
Colorado-or the world.
To the east you behold view of
the plains extending to the state
line including the location of our
state capitol with it's golden dome.
To the west, over the continental
divide, you may see the waters OF
the mountain streams vending
their way to the Atlantic or Pa
cific oceans. To the north grand
and extensive view of Middle and
North Parks, and to the south a
most magnificent view of majestic
mountain peaks, cliffs and crags,
including old Pixies Peak itself.
It is estimated that the road
would not exceed two-and-one half
miles in length, possibly but two
miles, and could be built at the
trivial cost of very few thousand
dollars, as the formation is mostly
gravel and there would be but
little rock work to do, and on a
grade not to exceed seven percent
at any place. It would be a pos
itively safe road by which the as
cent could be made in fifteen
minutes time.

Idaho Bride Mine
TO Resume Operations

Jack kememmer, manager of

Milling company, accompanied by
two mining men, came up from
Denver Thursday morning
to arrange for the resumption of
work on the Bride vein which was
worked extensively about a year
ago and large tonnage of good
ore taken out, the work being done
through the Idaho tunnel. This
is a good property and is well
worth the attention of mining men
and investors.

RICH UTE CREEK DISTRICT
RECEIVING ATTENTION

The present indications point to
the Ute creek mining district be
coming one of the busiest sections
in the county during the coming
season. For several years the
mines in this part of the county,
with few exceptions, have lain
dormant, but now the scene has
changed. Fl. A. Gray and as
sociates, of Denver, are rapidly
getting the Argo group in shape
for campaign of active develop
ment work and the production of
ore. They have about completed
the cleaning out and retimbering
of the Argosy tunnel for a
distance of over 1000 feet and it is
through this tunnel that most of
the work will be done at the pre-
sent, as it affords very economical
method of operating the different
veins intersected along the route
of the tunnel. It is no idle boast
nor pipe dream to say that when
everything is in readiness the old
Argo mine will resume its former
position among the mines of the
county as one of the best producers
of good ore in the county.
Thomas M. Fisher of Colorado
Springs, owner of the Wallace
Cecil vein, is making preparations
for early resumption of work on
this well known property which
has long been noted for its pro-
duction of high grade silver lead
ore in the past. Ore carrying a
value of from $50 to $500 per ton
was shipped from this property by
the car load in the early days OF
the camp and was considered as
nothing out of the ordinary run of
ore.
Frank B. Hall of New York, who
holds lease and option on the
Silver Horn group, is expected to
arrive here this week and will at
once begain work on the property
This property consists Of group
of nine claims and is developed by
an adit driven on the Silver Horn
vein for distance of 800 feet, and
also a shaft 200 feet in depth from
which ore has been shipped by the
carload that contained value OF
over $500 per ton and there is no
doubt but that there is plenty more
Of it to be uncovered. All of the
veins Of the group have been exploit
edmore or less and show very prom
ising prospects. Mr.. Hall secured
the lease while here last fall on a
pleasure trip, but his business
affairs at home required his at
tention and he was compelled to
return to New York. but will now
