CENTRAL CITY VISITED
BY MANY EASTERNERS
Want To See Attractions of Min
ing Camp and Learn How
Gold Is Produced.

Friday presented the appearance
of thriving metropolis when $50
people visited here for few
hours. They made the trip up
from Denver over the Guy hill
road in "a automobiles. During
their short stay they took dinner
at the Central City hotel and then
proceeded to Idaho Springs.
The visitors were mainly from
Indiana and came to Denver in a
special train. They were under
escort of the Rich Charter Oak
Copper Co., of Encampment, Wyo.,
with E. B. Dill, of Chicago, in
charge. The purpose of the trip
was to acquaint the party with
the mining industry, let them see
the actual operation of mines, and
convince them that mining is con-
Quoted with the same degree of
business judgment and good COM
mon sense as any other industry.
Many of the visitors had never
seen a gold mine before and had
not the slightest idea of how gold
is produced.
Within the next two or three
weeks, according to Mr.. Dill, two
special trains will be run from
the east carrying 800 people who
will take the same trip as that en-
Joyed by the party last Friday.
Mr.. Dill says these in a sense are
educational trips and not necess-
arily for the purpose of interest
ing the easterners in any of the
company's propositions. The Rich
Charter Oak Copper Co., besides
operating in Wyoming, has mines
in the Apex section, this county;
also interests in Clear Creek coun-
ty. In the Apex section they re-
Gently started work on a very
promising proposition known as
the Jack Rabbit group. The COM
pany is in the field for good, high
class mines that will stand the
test of reliable engineers, and are
securing the west and the south
west with this. object in view.
John G. May, well known in both
Gilpin and Clear Creek counties
as a highly competent mining
man, is chief consulting engineer
of the company, and Elvin Tilton,
of Encampment, Wyo., is super
intendent of works.
After reaching Idaho Springs
last Friday the Indianans went
thru the Argo tunnel to the Gem
workings, where they were given
practical demonstration of an
air drill in operation, and explain
ed other features of mining that
proved most interesting to them.
