pass, and affords excellent means
for the transporta ton Of ore to
the rail road at Empire about s
miles distant. There is in con-
nection with the mine a SPLENDID
mill site, and plenty of wood and
water to operate a mill Of 100 tons
daily capacity. The mill, how
ever, is an after consideration, or
at least until the property is de-
veloped sufficiently to insure ii
daily output large enough to keep
the mill constantly supplied with
ore. The ore is of an iron oxide
nature, and the tests already made
prove it to be free milling and
also an excellent concentrating
proposition.
Three men are now employed
in driving the tunnel, and Mr.
G niley expects to reach the vein
fs.i hssve everything ready to pro-
duce ore before the snow flies.
The discovery of this immense
vein will certaiuly mean some
thing to Clear Greek county, as it
is one of the most promising
looking mining properties that
has ever been opened in the county
The finding of such a prospect is
only another instance which goes
to show what pluck, perseverance,
patience and work will do in the
mining countries.

Opening of Mammoth
Ore Body Above Empire

A few years ago j. j. Culley, OF
Georgetown, conceived an idea
that the country in the vicinity OF
Berthoud pass was of a mineral
character, and, acting upon the
idea, he has been quietly investi-
eating and prospecting that sec
ton, and has at last uncovered
what promises to be one OF the
marvellous strikes in the mining
history of the county or state.
He has now exposed on the sur
face vein or ledge of highly
mineralized quartz and vein mat
ter 40 feet in width, from which
numerous samples have been tested,
showing a value of $1,000 in gold
and $500 in silver per ton. The
tests were not made from picked
and sorted samples, but from stuff
taken from across the entire width
of the vein, for the purpose of
acertaining the true value of the
whole vein.
Mr.. Culley is a practical miner,
having been engaged in the bust
ness for the last 25 years in the
various mining camps thruout the
state, including Cripple Greek and
Leadville, where they have big
ore bodies, and does not get ex-
cited over the finding of big mines;
neither does he try to fool him
self by carefully picking the best
ore in the mine for test to find
out what he really has in the
mine.
Associated with Mr.. Gully in
this enterprise are j. S. Armstrong
and VIM. j. Bell, of Kansas City,
Missouri, and they have formed a
company, known as the Arcubell
Gold Mining company. The
holdings of the company consist
of $500 feet on the main lode, and
several claims parellelling it, cover
ing a territory of 215 acres.
Some months ago a cross cut
tunnel was started and is now
being driven to intersect the vein
at depth of $50 feet from sur
face. This tunnel will greatly
facilitate the working Of the mine,
as the portal is only about 300
feet from the main highway that
crosses the range at Berthoud

Star Tunnel Active

The Columbia Gold and Silver
Mining company, who are now
driving the Star tunnel to inter-
sect the Columbia vein on Chicago
mountain, have eneountereda zone
of very hard rock,o hut Manager
Demerast does not allow anything
like that to discourage him, and
he expects to reach the vein with
almost any round of shots Ac-
cording to surveys, he is now
within a very few feet of it, and,
when once reached and connection
is made with the shaft, good
circulation of air will be had and
the production of ore will begin.
This company is also operating
in the Ute Greek district, where
they have bought some claims,
and taken up others under loca-
tions, but so far have made no
efforts toward production, but
have confined their work to pros
pecting and developing the diff
ferent claims in order to determine
the best place to start the main
workings. They have a very good
showing in most, of their claims,
and will soon determine on which
one they will center the work.

FIiver VS. Truck

A head-on collision occurred at
Floyd hill Monday evening be-
tween Oscar Nordstrom's fiver
and the county truck. Mr.. Nord-
strom was returning home from a
trip to this city, and the truck was
on the way to town with the road
workers. As the truck reached
the end of the bridge, the driver
noticed Nordstrom coming and
stopped his machine. Mr.. Nord-
strom either failed to see the
truck, or lost control of his car,
and the result was that he bumped
square into the truck.
No one was hurt, and the truck
was not damaged a particle, but
Oscars machine was put out of
commission and was towed back to
town by the truck. No use trying,
Oscar, you can't butt one of Uncle
Sans army trucks off the bridge
with one of Uncle Henry's fivers.

Mining Active in
Georgetown District
Special to the Siftings:

Special to the Siftings:
The general outlook for more
activity in mining in upper Clear
county could not be better. With
the general financial condition of
the county, there seems to be no
good reason why mining should
not receive the greater attention
of prospective investors.
Some good strikes are being
made that reminds one of the early
days when large ore bodies were
encountered with a good deal of
regularity.
L. Teagarden is exhibiting some
exceptionally rich ore from his
lease on the Scepter mine, on
Democrat mountain. The streak
is improving as development pro-
crosses, and should it continue,
he certainly has a bonanza in the
making. Shipments of ore are
now being prepared from this
property.
1t is the intention of the George
town Tunnel Co. to erect a 20. ton
mill in the near future, the grading
for which is nearing completion.
Good ore is now being taken
from the Clara B. mine.
An expert examination was re.
Gently made of the ven-Thirty
and Pelican mines, with view of
their being taken over by strong
financial company, who purpose
putting the entire property in
shape for economical operation
with view of increasing the pro.
duction These mines have pro-
duced many millions of dollars in
the past, and, as some of the lead
ing mines in the district are re-
spending wonderfully to deeper
development, there is no reason
why conservative management
should not restore their wonted
production.
1t is reported that the Onondago
and Capital mines are to start
operations on much larger scale
in the nearfuture. Sufficient cap
ital has been secured to insure
| their continued development.
Oliver Needham is much elated
over his recent discovery, made on
Republican mountain, where a
mud slide exposed a mineralized
vein six feet in width.

IDAHO SPRINGS COLO, FRIDAY AUGUST 15 1919
Are You A Live Wire =?

Some time ago a few of the
live wires Of the city realized that
the city, as we'll as the entire CON-
munity, needed tonic in order to
keep up with the procession; and
in order to administer the neces-
sary dope, they asked the people
of the city to cooperate with them
and organize a commercial associa-
ton of some kind, thru which a
booster and advertising campaign
could be carried on. The result
was that the Bureau of Mines and
Commerce was created for the
purpose of placing before the
world the advantages that we have
for rest, recreation, and restitution
of health; and Investment in gold,
silver, lead and copper mining.
Most of our business men, mine
owners and miners, became mem
bers of the organization, paid
their membership fee, and have
their certificate of membership;
and a good many seemed to think
that, in SO doing, they had done
all that was required, and let the
work of the concern to the usual
live ones. We would ask you,
and you, Mr.. Member of the
Bureau of Mines and Commerce,
how many meetings of the organ
ization have you attended since
its conception? Have you ever
offered any suggestion tending
toward the advancement of the
welfare of the city or community
Have you given any thought or
consideration to any plan OF action
whereby the community would
be benefted2 have you given
the organization the support and
encouragement it should have?
If you have not, then it is about
time 10 wake up, and get busy
and do things. Don't wait for the
other fellow to go ahead, but get
to the front yourself. Don't ex-
pect two or three, or half dozen
men to do it all. The Bureau of
Mines and Commerce was not Or
ganized for the benefit of any one
man or set of men, but for the
good of the whole community
big, little, old and young, rich and
poor-everybody! Don't be afraid
to offer suggestions, advance your
own ideas of conditions, and offer
plan for the betterment of them,
if possible. Wake up! Get some
"pep" and new blood in your an
atomy; start something and keep it
going; don't sit down and holler
and whine, and cuss the country
that will never get you anywhere!

Rich Ore From
SeatOn Mountain

John Owen, the dean of the
mining fraternity of this district,
showed the Siftings scribe this
week a piece of ore from which
assays were made that gave a re-
suit of over $4,000 per ton. Mr..
Owen stated that he was not at lib
erty to say just where this rich ore
came from, more than it was found
on Seaton mountain, but did say
that in very short time, when
everything was gotten in shape,
that the secret would be made
public. There has been in the
past some very high grade ore
taken from the various veins that
course thru this old reliable
mountain. Ore carrying value
of $4,000 has been taken from
the Silver Queen mine; and other
properties on the mountain, such
as the Casino, Veto, Metropolitan,
Kangaroo, Amazon, Gem, Seven
Twenty, Sun and Moon, Franklin
and many others have produced
much good ore, with occasional
punches of marvellous richness.
