BIG ELECTRIC SHELTER
TO BE ERECTED IN DENVER
Has Proven to be Success in Ex-
tracing Values From Low
Grade Ores of Gilpin
County.


An article of special interest
to the mining men of this district
appeared in Tuesdays Denver
News. 1t referred to large cleo
trio smelling and refining works
to be built in that city. This
company has been experimenting
with the treatment of ores of the
mining camps of Colorado for
some time and have evidently de-
termined that their system is a
success. They have recently
made tests of carload lots of low
grade ores from Gilpin county.
The first run was made on car
load of the Topeka dump and last
month they tried two carloads
fl ON the Doodle dump. The men
conducting the tests expressed
satisfaction at the results. If
their system Of smelling is a sue
cess on the dump ores of this
camp, unlimited quantities of a
better grade of ore can be found
in any number of the mines in
Gilpin county. The News article
said:
"Plans have been completed
for the development of the largest
electric smelling and refining
works in the world, to be located
in the vicinity of Denver, accord
ing to officials of the Mineral.
Metal and By-Products company.
capitalized at $20,000,O00, with
the ultimate object to construct
plants in every mining center in
the West.
"The promoters assert that the
plant, when completed, will smelt
every known variety of precious
metal-bearing ore and separate
and refine all known rare miner
ais and precious metals, making a
speciality of working low-grade
ores.
"The plant to be constructed in
Denver will cost $1,00O,000 and
will have an initial capacity of
500 tons daily, and will include
the erection of power plant,
plant for ore dressing, electrical
retorts, a combination electric
smelter and refinery and a chemi-
cal compounding plant.
"The present company was
formed by the merger of the Gage
Pierce Research Laboratories and
the United Reduction and Metal
company.
"The Burnhart Concentration
plant at 1900 South Broadway has
been acquired by the company and
will form part of the new works.
altho the main plant will be err
ected on a 640-acre-tract adjac-
ent to Denver.
"The executive staff of the COM
pany consists of Charles H. Gage.
president and managing director
of the metallurgical department;
George w. Burnhart, first vice.
president and managing director
of mines and ore dressing depart
ment; G. Rasmus, second vice

of both the Y. NJ c. A. and the postal
authorities from the hut and it's raz-
ing at District hands was discounted
today by City Postmas ster Chance,
who declared that he did not enter
tain the slightest idea that any such
thing would be done.
In case it should ever be attempted,
he said. the postal authorities would
guard the stamps, mail and other
precious matter and await the onset
Of the wreCkers.
The Center Market postal station did
bigger business in February than it
did even during December last, Supt

day. Postal business transacted at the
Center Market station during Febru-
AIRY was $4,000 in excess of Decem-
bers business.
