wonderfully expressed in their donations and
work, will continue, and they will always wish to
tain their membership in this national organization.

THE HUGHEsvILLE DISTRICT
Gilpin County's Silver Belt is the
Scene of Increasing Activity
as White Metal Advances.

The Perseverance group, con-
sisting of three claims owned by
the Hughes brothers, is operated
by a Chicago company under the
management of Captain Swarth-
out. A tunnel is being driven on
a strong vein about six feet wide
to reach a point where there is
junction of several veins and
where high-grade ore was found
on the surface running as high as
1900 ounces in silver. The tunnel
is now in 375 feet and it is es-
timated that 800 feet farther will
reach the junction. At that point
the tunnel will have a depth of
$50 feet from the surface.
The Silver King, also owned by
the Hughes brothers, operated by
T. G. Binney for an English syn
dictate, is still sinking and is said
to have the best showing in the
camp for the depth. They will
continue sinking for two hundred
feet farther and have ample ma
chinery to operate the mine.
The Olson brothers are driving
a cross-cut tunnel to tap the vein
on the old Alaska property, owned
by Henry Little of Colorado
Springs. The Alaska property
was large producer several
years ago of high-grade ore, run
ming about 800 ounces in silver
besides values in lead and copper.
The tunnel is just started and it
is contemplated in the near fu-
ture to put in compressor.
The old Toronto mine, owned by
Steve Hoskins of Denver, is be-
ing worked by good company
who at present are sinking. This
is an old property that was work
ed years ago and produced sew
eral hundred thousand dollars
worth of very high-grade ore.
Several other properties in the
vicinity are expected to begin
work. soon, and the outlook of the
camp was never better in its his.
tory. Besides the high silver val
ues saMsef the mines carry value.
in gold, lead and copper. The higl
advance in the price of silver i.
sure to bring a boom of prosper
ity to this section of the county
A noticeable feature of th'
work being done is that it is al
real mining. All of the compan
les are doing development worl
to open up the bodies of ore, tina
were uncovered on the surface
at greater depth instead O.

MINING OPERATIONS TO Boom
THIS YEAR IN HINSDALE co.
(By W. C. Blair in Denver post)

(By W. C. Blair in Denver Post)
Lake City, Jan. 3:-Important work
for 1919 already under way, may in
clude some Of the largest projects that
have ever been initiated here, includ-
ing some deep mining, something that
Hinsdale county has never had in the
degree to which its mineral structures
and history entitle it
Perhaps the most important of these
is the large cross-cut tunnel which
the McCafty- Hidden Treasure corpor-
alton proposes driving from the level
Of the county road and almost At the
door Of their large mill. This conn
pany owns the well known Hidden
Treasure group Of claims, some rs in
all, being the ground covering the ex-
tension Of the Ute and Ulay mines to
the northeast.
The mine Is in good ore and accu-
rate and substantial measurements
and calculations Of ore bodies made
during the past year places the value
Of the ore in sight at approximately
81 ,000, 900. With the construction Of
the lower working tunnel referred TO,
the Hidden Treasure, with its large
acreage is expected to make record
in production equal, at least, to that OF
the famous Ute and Ulay to the south
west, which amounted to $4,000 900.
! Denver people have a lease on the
renowned Golden Fleece and the mine
is again working under the direction
of Richard Kilvert, who was superin-
tendent twenty years ago when it was
still producing the rich ore that gave
the mine and this district an enviable
and worldwide reputation. If there
is anything about the Golden Fleece
mine that Dick Kilvert does not know,
it is because he mas forgotten it. He
is quite confident that the old tellu-
rum bonanza Is good for several nil
lions of production vet.
Eastern People Take Over Black
Wonder
Al Sherman, few miles beyond the
Golden Fleece on the same stream, the
Lake Fork of the Gunnison river,
eastern people have organized and
taken over the Black Wonder and
other claims on the Black Wonder
vein, and the Sterling group on the
s-rcat Sterling vein. Both Of these
groups have produced ore Of the pic
sure kind in past years, and both have
been pronounced by eminent engineers
among the best and most perfect vein
structure in the west and capable and
probable producers Of great bodies Of
ore. Besides tie mining properties

committee OF gold experts made to
Secretary Of the Interior Lane yester-
day.
Several months ago the secretary's
attention was called to the rapidly in
crcasing cost Of gold production and
the consequent decline Of the output
and realizing the Importance Of the
gold mining industry, he appointed Q
special committee headed BY Hennen
Jennings, the well known gold mining
engineer and consulting engineer Of
the Bureau Of Mines, to 20 thoroly in
to the situation and make the neces-
sary recommendations.
The report Is Of interest not only to
the gold-mining industry but also to
financial and business men as having
an important bearing on finance and
credit and the consequent prosperity
of the country, declares that, "gold
mining has been seriously injured by
the war, and has been Disseminated
against FOR the protection aAd benefit
Of the Treasury in that export Of
gold and even the internal free trade
IN the metal was interrupted"
The committee says that prices on
all commodities have advanced in
terms Of the government paper money
except that Of the ounce Of gold, which
has . fixed price Of $20.67. "Thus in
reality, J" says the committee, sthe pur-
cashing power Of gold has decreased
in proportion to the increase Of other
commodities which in one way or an
other, are factors in the obtaining Of
new gold"
