Will provide annually an estimated
mean OF 4.25o hydro-electric horse
power-e.o0o in surnmer and $500 In
winter-for use IN Industrial develop
ment in the vicinity Of Guernsey INT
Lingle.
Guernsey is especially interested In
tho promised development Of hydro
electric power. Already two mines
are in active operation there-the sun
rise iron mine about seven miles from
Guernsey and a rich limestone deposit
Just outside the town. There are vast
deposits of exceptionally hish-srade
iron ore in the vicinity OF Sunrise n
# is more than likely hat the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron company, owner OF
the mine now actively operated. will
establish a smelter al Sunrise or
Guernsey in tho wen that hydro
electric power may be had.
Ore at present is shipped TO Guern-
sey over a spur line owned and op-
Grated by the c. r. & ]. From Guern-
sey It goes to the smelters at Pueblo
| via the Burlington. In this dual con-
| nection-railroad and mine-a remark
Of Superintendent Thomas Tucker Is
Interesting. particularly at this time.
There Is no labor trouble at Sun
| rise. There has been none in 20
years"
Notwithstanding that 2o-year period
| Of active iron mining. tho mining in
/ dustry In the Guernsey district is yet
in its infancy, the possibilities IN that
line alone are little more than sug'
| Eested by what has gone before. For
Instance, several million dollars worth
OF copper has been taken from the
| Sunrise mine merely as an incidental
to tho mining Of iron.
