Fifty Ton Mill To Be
Erected on Incidental

Before returning to his home
in Rochester, Pa, last week, Rev.
Robt. Barner stopped in Denver
long enough to arrange with En-
gineer. Sanderson to come up and
decide upon the location for a so
ton concentrator to be erected on
the Incidental property. The mill
is to be located close to the shaft
and the ore will be hoisted high
enough to run thru plant by grav-
ity. Crushers, rolls and ball mills
will comprise the main equipment
of the plant with classifiers and
Deister tables. The mill will be
modern in every particular and
we'll adapted for the Incidental
ores.
Before deciding upon the loca-
tion of a mill at their property.
the Incidental people made a test
run of the ore at Denver plant
and the results convinced the op-
orators of the Incidental that they
could affect splendid saving of
values with a mill on the ground.
Dump ore was used in the test,
the pulp of which assayed ~ ozs.

from this assayed 4.66 ozs. gold,
$50 ozs. silver and 3.97 per cent
copper. The tails went .02 ozs
gold, 2.84 ozs. silver. This gave
the concentrates value OF
$107.67 to the ton.
A good body of ore is now be.
ing broken in the mine, which
will run much higher than the ore

people, however, will run custom

Rev. Barner, president of the
company, has been out from
Rochester the past two weeks

liminary work on the mill ant

few weeks. The plant should be ir

Wins Suit
For Fifty Gold Mines

A decision which has been
awaited with keen interest by the
people of Gilpin county was rem
dered last Friday by Judge Trie-
Der. in the Federal court in Den
yer, when he decided the case of
Gerhard H. Bierbaum VS.. E. M.
Sabin, John Larson ct al, in favor
of the plaintiff. The suit was
brought by Bierbaum for possess
ion of the Fifty Gold Mines, for
which he paid Sabin and associ-
ates $5O,300. The property was
purchased from the bankruptcy
court for Sal, ,807.59, the remain
der of the money being used for
their own purposes. Sabin was
made trustee when the bankrupt
cy court delivered the title, and
at the trial contended that Bier
baum was only to receive one-half
interest in the, property for the
money he had advanced. Under
the court decision he is declared
owner of all the property.
Judge Treiber declared that
Bierbaum was a victim of "get-
rich-quick" methods, and at the
trial of the case held in July did
not spare Sabin or his associates
in his denunciation of them. The
decision assesses the cost of the
suit against the defendants.
John McNeill, of Black Hawk,
who has been bending every eff
fort for months to get the Fifty
proposition in shape for opera
ton, was one of Bierbaum's prin-
cipal witnesses and supporters
during the litigation and was de-
termined to the finish to see that
the mans interests were protect
ed and that he received title to
the property for which he paid
his money. Mr.. McNeill says now
that Bierbaum has obtained pos

tion will be financed and the prop
critics worked.

William Semmens Dies of
Injuries Received in Wreck.

William Semmens, one of the
most popular ball players who
was ever connected with a Gen.
trail City ball team, was one of the
victims of the horrible interurban
car wreck at Globeville Monday
afternoon, where twelve people
were killed and 1O1 injured.
Sleepy" as he was popularly
known to his friends and the ball
fans, was going from his home in
Boulder to Denver to spend Labor
day with a sister when the collis-
ion occurred. He sustained a
fracture at the base of the brain
and a broken leg and lived until
Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Semmens was 48 years of
age and was born in Nevadaville.
During the tungsten excitement
he left here, going to Nederland
and after the boom went to Boul-
der. At the time of his death he
was employed at the Black Dia-
mond coal mine, five miles east of
Boulder. A wife, six daughters
and one son are left to mourn the
loss of a good and faithful hus-
band and father. The remains will
probably be brought to Gilpin
county, where several members of
the family are buried.

The number of mines shut down,

Gus For Rent" signs, which seem-
ed to be begging hopelessly for
tenants, and the absence of the
old hustle on the streets actually
gave me the blues. Being in the
advertising and campaign busi-
ness in New Orleans made me see
the possibilities of Gilpin's re-
sources if properly advertised.
The City of New Orleans tried this
very same thing, the advertise
ments in the Saturday Evening
Post probably having been notic-
ed by you, and the results were
very gratifying to say the least.
Think it over, Mr.. Stull, and get
something started. 1t would
seem that everyone would be in
terested in boosting a cause Of
this kind.

New Company Leases
East Boston and RialtO

The American Mines & Dev-
elopment Co, has taken a lease
on the Rialto and East Boston
mines in the Central City section
and are getting the equipment in
shape to pull water. There are
six claims in the group that will
be worked and they will be un-
watered from the Rialto shaft.
Good ore was being taken out of
the Rialto and East Boston when
last worked. Joe Flynn and Matt
Ryan were the last leasers to work
the East Boston, but were handi-
capped for lack of funds to han
die the water. They took out ore
running better than 800 ton
above the water level.
T. A. Miller, of Denver, is pres
ident of the new company and op-
erations will be in charge of G. H.
Fuller, of Idaho Springs. He is
figuring on moving his family
to Central so that he may be close
to the mines.
