Makes Big Sale
of Machinery

]. J. Haley, cashier at the local D.
&. R. G. Office, sold few days ago all
of the equipment of the Silver Bar
mill at Silver Cliffe and all OF the ma
chiRery of the King of the Carbonates
Mining Company of the same place to
c. r. Slusser. prominent mining
man of Denver. who will transfer it
to Ilse where it will be used in con-
nection with the operation of the Ter
rible mine, formerly one of the most
productive lead-silver-7inc properties
in Colorado. The purchase made by
Mr.. Slusser includes engines. pumps.
boilers, c0mpressors, tanks, ETC., max
ing in the aggregate a fine lot Of ma
chinery. To duplicate it in the. open
market at the present inflated prices
would necessitate an outlay of many
thousands of dollars. Mr.. Haley and
his associates purchased the property
in question some two or three months
ago from the Westcliffe Mining and
Milling Company as an investment
proposition. and found it to be a re-
munerative transaction.
1t is Mr.. Slusser's intention to equip
the Terrible mine with the most effi-
cient means for its operation on a
large scale and convert 1t into a pro-
ducing property. AS soon as the re-
quired machinery is installed employ
ment will be afforded for a consider
able number of men there.
