INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
EARLY MINING IN COLO.

Col. d. A. Burgess, who is the well
known mining editor Of the Pueblo
Chicftain, has been about Gunnison
several days recently and gives Us the
following interesting story of facts
concerning early discoveries Of min
eral in this state, all of which will be
entertaining to the old time miner.
In the spring of 1872 James Pringle,
Bill Robinson, Dick Irwin and B. B.
Hoyt in pioneer way settled the town
of Rosita, Custer county. Such after
wards great silver producers as the
Leavenworth. Pocahontas, Humboldt
and Pioneer were located. The town
of Rosita was first surveyed and plat
led in 1878 by A. V. Temple.
In 1878 Ed Bassick discovered the
Bassick mine at Qucrida, Custer coun-
", owned 1t for one year and then sold
a controlling interest to Ryan. Brown
and others, forming company. Re-
ceived for his interest $500 900 and a
large block of stock. Bought hand
some former residence and grounds of
p. I. Barnum at Bridgeport, Conn,
for his wife and moved family there.
The deepest workings in Bassick are
l,S45 feet, the shaft being 800 feet
deep.
Five hundred thousand dollars in
gold and silver was mined and shipped
from the Bassick in first twenty-five
years, the ore averaging rs per cent
gold, 25 per cent silver. The first 20
feet Of sinking averaged in values
produced $1,000 per foot. The next
200 feet produced s750,000
In May, 1878, five lotion carloads Of
ore netted $4,000 per car in smelter
returns. This ore was taken from the
75-foot level.
The net shipment values for that
month We're $4,000. Pay roll, $500.
Powder and freight expense. $1,000.
Fifteen tons mined and left on hand
for balance. In about that year Sill
yer Cliff. at present about 300 popula-
ton, contained nearly 5000 inhabi-
tants. In 1879 rich silver ore was dis
covered at Leadville and that boom
started.
In 1889 N. C. Creede, E. r. Naylor
and N. C. Smith located the Holy
Moses claim, and the Creede excite
ment followed.
In 1880 Creede located the Ameth-
'yst mine in the big mother lode Of the
same name.
In 1890 Bob Womack located at
Cripple Greek what is now known as
the Ell Paso Gold King. In 1894 Grip
pie Creek boom at its height. The first
Press club Of Cripple Creek organized
with T. NJ. Howell, president; ]. Knox
Burton, treasurer, and d. A. Burgess,
secretary. In 1906 cyanide introduced
and first applied in quantity to Grip
pie Creek ores the production for that
year being s25,210,629.

JUDGE BLACK Is AGAIN
NAMED FOR DISTRICT JUDGE
Believed Logan Will Hold Over as
District Attorney Republicans
Talk of Endorsing Black.

The Democrats of the county held
their meeting Monday, July 18th, and
appointed ten delegates TO attend the
Seventh Judicial Convention at
Montrose. Judge J. NJ McDOugal
took the responsibility upon his shoul-
ders and carried the proxies of the
rest of the delegation with the firm
conclusion that Judge Thomas Black
would be re-nominated-
The idea proved correct, for at the
meeting that afternoon in MOntrose,
all Of the seven counties Of the district
being represented, the nomination Of
Judge Black was made unanimous.
The Judge was then called into the
convention and made nice little
speech Of appreciation for the compli-
ment. The next topic was the nOmin-
alton of q democratic candidate for
district attorney. 1t seems, that ac-
cordIng to some interpretations of the
law, Judge Logan of Delta was ap-
pointed TO FILL the uneNplred term"
when VIM. Weiser resigned. His
term would not have expired until two
years from next January. II was
finally decided to have d committee
appointed by the chair, one represen-
tative from each county, who would
have authority to fill vacancy in case
it is TO be decided by legal authority
that an election must be held this fall.
The chairman was +. A. Adams, of
Telluride. The sentiment generally is
that the republicans will not nominate
an opposite candidate to Judge Black,
but this is not yet decided.
The delegates to Montrose regularly
elected at the convention were:
Gunnison county: f. G. Palmer, c.
c. McWilliams, C. II. Stone, Cchair-
mani, Miss Cara Estes, NJ. A. Jencks,
J. ". McDougal, A. NJ. Thomas, Miss
Ethel Lashbrook, NJ. J. Schmitz, (sec-
rctary), Miss Mamie HaryVood

SUGAR is CRITICAL
PLACE IN FOOD CONSERVATION

The sugar situation is going from
bad to worse, and it looks as tho
our housewives would have to worry
along without any repeat orders after
the first twenty-five pounds for can
ming. As a matter of fact the retail
merchants, after sending in requsi-
tons for the very smallest amount
they can get along with to supply
their customers, are then having their
wholesale orders cut to half
There is nothing to it, the allies are
short of sugar. We must keep up the

SAVE THE COLORADO MIDLAND

The Colorado Midland, having been
turned back to its owners, by the fed
cral railway department, fear is eN-
pressed that the road will be junked,
and indeed. some such recommends
ton was expressed by the department
which certainly acted hastily and
without due consideration, either for
the interests Of the local public served,
the State OF Colorado, or the stock
holders Of the road.
We have no fear, though, that this
perfectly good railway, an integral
part OF the transportation system of
Colorado. will be junkcd, whatever,
some clerks at Washington think
about il right now. II is owned by
