Final estimates by the State
Cooperative Crop Reporting Ser
vice on the total production of po-
tatoes in Colorado this year ap-
parently will show a considerable
increase in the output over the
S,O96,0OO bushels indicated by the
October estimate. Though it is
yet too early to give definite fig
ures it now appears that the pro,
duction will be above 100000
bushels and perhaps as high as
100000 bushels. This is still
considerably short of the normal
production Of this crop in Colo
rado, the season having been very
unfavorable in the north-central
part of the state, which is the
principal potato growing district.
In the non-irrigated districts.
where about 27 per cent of the po-
tato acreage for this year is re-
ported, the crop was very short
as result of continued dry
weather, being almost a total fail
ure in some sections. On the west
ern slope and in the San Luis val
ley weather conditions were gen.
orally favorable and the crop is
but little short of normal. The
commercial production apparent
ly will be close to 10000 carloads.
compared with 14,800 carloads
last year. The average yield ap-
parently will be some place be-
tween 100 and 120 bushels per
acre.

Visit the Star of
the West Property

~. ~. w ouCy PACSAuSut VI VIC
Star Of the West, his wife and
two of his eaotern friends arrived
in Central the latter part of the
week and their opinion of Central
and its mining possibilities in
creases in proportion to the new
discoveries made and the richness
of the ore discovered. Mr.. Wade
has had four years experience in
steadily developing the Star of
the West group of mines and his
expectations have been more than
realized. This property shows
values that have fooled all the So
called experts. Their new shaft
at depth of 1870 feet shows val
ues of $54.00 per ton and at this
time the vein covers nearly the en-
tire bottom of the shaft. This
property is in line to be one of
the high-class shippers of the
county.
The company will put in about
two weeks work repairing what is
known as the Gibson shaft, which
is less than 200 feet west of their
new shaft. Later, the object is to
drive drift from the new shaft
thru to the Gibson, thereby insur--
ing perfect ventilation without
necessitating any mechanical ap-
pliances to free the two shafts of
bad air.
With two plants of machinery
and two good shafts to work from,
there is no mine in that section
that can work men to such good
advantage as this property. Mr..
Wade says it pays to keep going
it pays to stick. You will get it if
you do, but you won't if you do
not. Mr.. Wade says he is willing
to bet real money that the poorest
mine in the county is a dividend
payer with honest and intelligent
management-why not when they
are working So and So ore in
Cripple Greek and other places at
a profit.
In the construction of the new
mill at Black Hawk by the Gilpin
Milling & Reduction company,
that will treat al ore of so low a
grade that the producer will re-
ceives a profit, Mr.. Wade sees a
new era dawning for Gilpin coun-
ty. He has Investigated this pro-
cess and is satisfied it will do all
the company claims for it in the
recovery of low-gradc values. Mr..
Wade says another good thing
that will stimulate mining IN Gill
pin county and give. the operator
quite lift as it has done with the
Star of the West properties, is the
high price of silver. The white
metal at between slips and $1.27
an ounce and climbing higher
right along is happy reality that
the miner has awaited since 1893.
Mr.. Wade says the interest in oil
is on the wane and the investing
public is now turning their atten-
tion to the mining camps where
they can see big profits in the high
prices being paid for silver and
other metals.

Big Strike in Eureka

The Eureka mine has the best
showing of ore that has been
mined in this property in long
time. In the west 700-foot level
there is a foot of smelling ore
that runs $120 a ton. The drift
has been extended thru the shoot
distance of $50 feet and the
stope has been opened so feet in
length. A carload of this ore was
shipped this Thursday and an
other car will be sent to the
smelter Friday or Saturday. The
important feature of the strike is
that the shoot is west of the shaft
and none of the ground above
has ever been worked.

But for the fact that Frank
Loney brought his gas mask back
from overseas with him, the resi-
dence of Henry Ramstetter, near
Guy hill, might have been des-
troyed by fire last Saturday night.
When the fire was discovered in
the dining room, smoke was so
dense that it was impossible to
get to it. Loney, who is employed
at the Ramstctter home, made
quick time in getting his gas mask
on and was able to get into the
room and extinguish the flames.
The fire originated in a large cup
board standing in the dining
room, and all the contents were
destroyed, and the room damaged
to some extent. 1t is impossible
to make an estimate as to the loss.
as the things destroyed were gifts
and heirlooms upon which Mr.. and
Mrs. Ramstettcr had set great
store. They have no idea as to
the cause of the fire, which was
discovered about IL o'clock.-Gol-

lived this to the last precept.
"The one expression which has
been made so often during her
life by nearly everyone knowing
her was, She is wonderful wom-
an To this must be added, She
was wonderful Mother"
