Mining conditions are looking
very good in the Clear Creek dis
trict. Not in many years have
prospects been SO favorable for a
real, genuine revival in mining the
precious metals. The hotels at
Idaho Springs have had more win
ter visitors than for years past
and large number Of the people
have come to look up mining pro-
perties. For weeks at a time the
Hot Springs hotel has had every
room occupied. 1t is the general
opinion Of mining men here and
of those who come here from the
east, that the country's next big
boom will be in mining.
Eastern capital is being inter-
ested in the Matte property close
to Idaho Springs and if a pending
deal is consummated it will mean

$42.5O per ton or Ss28.75. After
paying all operating expenses,
labor and overhead, it showed a
net profit to the company of $59
per day for the two mems work.
A new plant has been installed,
including forty horse-p power gas
oline engine, air compressor and
large new buildings.
The Bonanza company owns
other valuable properties in this
same mountain, including the
Chicago Belle, Chloride Belle,
Boston Belle, st. Louis Belle and
the Iron Mask.
From the Chicago Belle some
years ago there was taken out by
Mr.. Jaynes ore which ran S73 ozs
gold, 347 ozs. silver and % per.
cent copper-a value of $4,000
per ton, The peculiar location of
the property in gulch caused it
to fill with water so rapidly as to
make its operation impracticable.
Now, however, since Mr.. ,Jaynes
and his company have secured the
old Pioneer tunnel this difficulty
will soon be eliminated. By ex-
tending the Pioneer tunnel an
additional $50 feet the Chicago
Belle mine and others in the same
group will be undercut and drain
ed, permitting free working Of
mines known to be rich in ore.
The encouraging feature of the
proposition is the fact that SO
much good ground can be worked
in Tic, Pioneer While tbs tunnel is
being pushed ahead.
The Bonanza Mines company
recently opened offices in the
Hanchett building, with Charles
L. Jaynes in charge.

Denver'S Growth Came
from Clear Creek S Gold

In Denver forty four years ago,
or February, 1916. a clergyman
startled his congregation by pre-
dieting that within ten years Den
yer would have 100000 inhabi-
tants. His prediction was con-
sidered prepcsterous. Early in
1859. the year Jackson discovered
gold at Idaho Springs, the popu-
lation of Denver and Colorado at
large consisted of only few hun
dred persons, principally 'passen-
gers" across the plains, they knew
not whittier and cared less. These
comprised some good people and
considerable outlaws from the east,
north, south, and foreign climes.
Even theM exican Spaniards and the
Canadian French had each their
representatives, and a fair average
of Irish. English and Dutch.
The Rocky Mountain Herald
saws that after the discovery of
numerous rich placers and gold
bearing lodes, Denver made magic
strides in progress and popula-
ton. In 1861 census OF 3OOO
was claimed, with as many more
mere trausients. In 1868 the res
ident settlers of Denver amounted
to 4OOO or 5000 souls. In 1863,
before the advent Of the railroad,
Denver was solid city OF 1000 or
5000 people. In 1871. after a
year of railway immigration, the
population grew to between
10000 and 5000. In 1876 it did
not fall far short of 25,0OO and
there was a preacher who pre-
diced population of 100000 in
another ten years. Today they
are guessing that Denver has close
to 100000 population and there is
no better large or medium size
city in the U s. A.

ore returns 20 percent copper, 40
ounces silver, and 3 ounces gold,
making it very desirable product.
The mill at the mouth of the
Georgetown tunnel is nearing
completion, after which treatment

CHARLES M. MORGAN Publicity Director Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers
 Association

Next to the actual cotton grower and owner of cotton growing land in Arizona, and particularly in the Salt River valley, the bankers -~< this sec tion are the persons most interested in the work of the new organiza ton known the Arizona American -Egyp- tion Cotton Growers association.
 This is true, whether the bankers of this section have as yet come to full realization of this fundamental truth or not and those who have made close study of the situation have real ized the truth of the statement.
 How It Works
 The work of the association, al- though a new organiza ton, is admit ted to have already been a major factor in securing for the cotton growers Of this valley more nearly the actual value of their crop than ever before. Through the contacts established by the association the members have been kept fully informed of the market and crop conditions, and have therefore been able to market their product in telligently and with full informa tion on it's market value. something that never before has been possible to the growers of this section of the country. IL was impossible for the individual to get the informations-easy for the as- sociation.
 Through contact with buyers of both seed and lint who offered more than local buyers it has been possible to push the price of seed from $50 d ton mp to better than s75. Lint also has gone up under the same conditions and influences, though the high point as yet reached has not been nearly up to the price paid for Egyptian of les> quality than the Arizona cotton. What the price might have been without this information and these established con- tacts is problematical.
 It seems hardly necessary to point out that the increased prices secured means perhaps a million dollars more deposited in the local banks. It is also obvious that raising the price of seed and lint to more nearly its value has stimulated interest in cotton raising, which in turn means more business for the banks, from the buying of land the crop loans, and the loans on baled cot ton It has helped to increase land

Salt river valley cotton was sold yesterday at the top price, so far. of gS cents per pound

 We are all the time more nearly approaching the actual value of our cotton in the prices being secured for 1t, said w. s. Stevens, president of the association, in commenting on this high mark sale last night. Through the information secured by the associa- ton the growers of the valley have been able to arrive at their own con- clusions as to the value of their prod uct, and to act upon the information and their conclusions. Add to this the cooperative selling plan of the associa- tion. in concentrating good lists of cotton to offer and thereby get better prices, and you have the answer The whole valley is indebted to the associa- ton to the extent of at least &. .000. 900 that has been received for our cotton. over and above what would have been paid but for the work of the associa- finn :,

PLAN PROJECTED BY LOCAL ASSOCIATION TO BUILD BONDED WAREHOUSE IN VALLEY

in the embarrassing position of having loaned money on cotton in good faith, to find subsequently, that there were prior claims upon it.
 In addition to the safety factor, a point of interest to both grower and producer is the fact that banks are justified in making loans of much larger percentage on the security of bonded warehouse receipts. To again quote Governor Harding, in a message received by the. association: Governor Harding of the federal reserve board regards cotton loans based on ware house receipts in recognized ware houses as excellent collateral.
 Wannamaker's Statement
 A South Carolina banker and cotton grower. J. SkottoWe WarYnamaker, has been the biggest moving factor in the work of the American Cotton associa tion with which the Arizona associa- ton is affiliating. In a letter to Pres ident W. $. Stevens of the local asso- citation recently, urging the erection of a warehouse in Phoenix, Mir. Wanna maker said:
 More warehouses have been erected under our leadership in this section of the (cotton) belt than any time within the last 50 years. Less cotton is lying out exposed to the weather as result of our campaign than any time since the war between the states. We have
  laws so amended that instead of<the producer borrowing 10 per cent of the capital and surplus of National banks on cotton, 25 per cent can be loaned on cotton stored and insured in ware houses as named above.
 Warehouses are the key to the sit uation. They earn for the stockhold- CTS a cash dividend and an enormous indirect return. There is nothing more important in your cotton industry than warehouses. I urge in the strongest terms that you establish them.
 The Compress
 The foregoing in brief reads to the points of advantage of the bonded warehouse itself. but to make the plant complete and most advantageous to all concerned it should be equipped with a compress-low density for the reason that the superfine cotton raised in the Salt River valley is all used in the states, and a compress for export dens- ity is not needed.
 The most obvious advantage of a compress is the saving of something
Arizona republican., 1920-02-20

values, making the security better on mortgage loans outstanding and pros pective.
 Warehouse and Compress
 The association is now working out a plan to finance and erect a bonded warehouse and compress at Phoenix, and this movement is of even more far reaching importance to the banking fraternity than the valuable work al ready accomplished.
 To quote Governor w. P. G. Harding of the federal reserve banking system:
 Warehouses owned and controlled by the producer and allied business in terestS in each county, operated under the state and federal warehouse eacts, sufficient to carry cotton produced in said county, should be erected in every county in the cotton belt.
 The marketing of cotton should be spread over d period of twelve months instead of rushing it upon the market in d short period.
 All cotton not marketed imme- Giately should be warehoused in these warehouses so as to save the fearful country damage amounting to from fifty to seventy five millions annually.
 Tn addition to this a warehouse re- ceipt is a negotiable liquid asset, one of the best securities that can be used by q bank, so that the producer or owner of cotton is placed in position to borrow money from the bank at the very lowest rate of discount.
 Also, the producer must go one step further. He must not only finance his cotton in the warehouse but finance it until it reaches the hands of the man ufacturer. removing the unnecessary middleman.
 In the above quotation from the head Of the federal banking system is compressed the entire main reasons for "a warehouse, both to the grower and to the banker. It makes the crop a liquid asset, which is an advantage common to both the producer and his banker, to the producer because he can secure loans to carry himself until ready to sell on the best market, to the banker because he can get more money out earning good returns.
 Loaning money on cotton secured by the receipts of a recognized bonded warehouse is certainly the most desir- able form of cotton loans. The bonded warehouse receipt is not issued except to persons having absolute title to the cotton. Banks will not be longer put
