NINE THAT STARTED THE
GUGGENHEIH FORTUNE
BEEN PRODUCTIVE FOR FORTY
TWO YEARS-SHIPMENTS
BY LEASERS.

Cars loaded with ore the values of
which are reported to range from $500
to $1,000 a car are being steadily ship
ped from a 42-year-old mine that the
Guggenheims can point to as the
source of the vast wealth that is be-
hind the American Smelling e Rein
ing company The old A. Y and Min
ME property in Lower California gulch
is the exception that proves the rule
that the average life of a mine is 20
years
A stirring romance of the mining
industry i'm Colorado is connected with
this mine that for more than a third of
a century has been a steady producer.
Millions have been hoisted out of
the shaft. and time battered apparatus
of the property that came in during
the early days of the feverish gold
rush TO the great camp that is now
known as Leadville. How long the
treasure box will continue to yield no
man can say, but there is no diminu-
tion of the previous flow.
Bought by cuggenheim.
In the autumn of 1873 A. Y. Carmen
located the A. Y and Minnie mine.
Late the following spring A. Graham
of Philadelphia arrived in the camp
and was offered an option on the mine
for $4,000 He at once took the option
and wired Meyer Guggenheim of
Philadelphia, who was associated with
him. to forward his check for $500,
which Guggenheim did The deal was
closed and Carmen got his money
The new owners lost no time in
starting the development of the prop
erty. with the late Charles L. Hill as
manager. In less than five years the
mine paid a little better than $4,000
00O With his share of the profits
Guggenheim laid the foundation of the
present day Guggenheim fortune
which enabled his sons to hold the
controlling interest in the American
Smelling & Refining company
Productive Forty Years.
For 40 years the property has been
steady producer and during devel-
opment work large pockets of native
silver were opened. the metal being in
the wire form. 1t is stiu a steady
producer being under lease to local
men. One of the leases is known as
the Bartlett and the other the L. and
NJ. lease Both leases are being work
ed above the water level The ore
hoisted from both is silver-lead with
the Bartlett lease shipping in the
neighhorhood of 100 tons weekly, the
values running from $500 to $1,000 per
car The value of the ore from the |
L. and M lease is not quite so high /
but the tonnage is heavier. and the /
leasers state the output can be dou- /
hled IL they can obtain men.

to what is conservation. If it could be
utilized and distributed there is
enough water power in the United
States today to take care of the whole
power and lighting load of the coun-
try
There are at present 129 applica-
items involving approximately 10000
900 h. D., before the federal power
commission, for permits to develop
under the water power bill water pow
ers in the United States. Many Of
these will be granted; work will be
started upon them and they will need
large quantities Of copper.
1.-THE time is not far distant when
Europe will get on it's feet and a nor
NAL pre-war demand from Europe for
copper will assert itself and. I believe,
he exceeded. Italy having no coal
has made mp her mind to utilize the
numerous water powers in her part of
the Alps.
TN the meantime the copper miners
Of the United States are meeting the
situation as they have in the past by
curtailment of operations and by econ
omies and feel confident that the
copper industry is now at the begin
ming of greatly improved conditions.
