G. O. Tsylor Whiskies, of superior excellence
nanza became increasingly abandoned,
except by a limited few, wile have never
lost their faith in the ultimate outcome
of the camp.
Today Bonanza is little known among
the general pu blic interested in Colorado
mining, and as a matter of fact has been
practically lost to view until lately. There
have, however, been many changes in
conditions in favor of Bonanza since its
i early "boom" days and subsequeut
!"slump'' days.
CONDITIONS NOW IMPROVED.
In the "eighties" the wagm. freight on
ore from the mines of the Bonanza dis-
trlot to the nearest railroad pont, Villa
Grove, was from $4: to $5 per ton, the
railroad freight from Villa Grove to the
smelters was $6 per ton and the smelt.
InS charge was from $8 to $12. Success-
ful concentration, as now understood,
was then unknown. Today the wagon
freight is $3, the railroad freight from $3
to $~, the smelting charge from $5 up-
wards, some of the lead ore being treat-!
ed gratis, while local concentrating plants
onup to date principles, are treating the
lower grade ores more or less success.
fully.
What the district is capable of under
present improved conditions can be real- !
ized by a brief notice of some of the
prominent mines in the "eighties," as
follows:
The Empress Josephine mine in Cop-
per gulch, half a mile from Bonanza,
owned in Cleveland, O. Up to 1888 this]
property shipped ore which nettea $200,.,
000 after paying smelter cbarges, etc.
The mine is only 400 feet deep, has been
shut down on account of water, but
there is some ~alk about renewing work
this spring.
The Exchequer mine, close to the Bo-
nanza, belonginz to S. F. Rathvon ell
Denver. This property produced large l
quantities of rich surface ,,re in the ear-
ly eighties and work m still being prose
outed on concentrating ore.
The Cornucopia mine, one mile from
Bonanza, also belonging to S. F. Rath-
yon. The property Was a heavier pro-
ducer than the Exchequer, the ore being
a gray copper running as high as 8 per
cent. in copper, over 100 ounces silver
and sometimes half an ounce of gold per
ton. Thm mine is troubled by water.
AN OLD SHIPPING PROPERTY.
The Bonanza mine, owned hy the Bo-
nanza Mining company of which Irving
Howbert of Colorado Springs ie the man
ager. Years ago this .property shipped
3,000 tons of ore carrymg from 8 to 10
ounces of silver per ton and from 40 to
50 per cent. lead. :].'he mine is only 250
feet deep and there is concentrating ore
at the bottom of the shaft.
The Rawley mine in the '80s shipped
considerable quantities of lead-silver ore,
also high grade copper ore. It is now
owned by David G. Wrens and his New
York assocmtes and a1-1..rge working tun-
nel is being run to tap the ore bodies at
depth.
A group consisting of the Radchffs,
Payson, Little Johns]e, Wisconsin and
others, about throe and a half miles from
Bonanza, was purchased it] the early '80s
by ex-Governor Foster of Ohio and his
associates. Thm group shipped a con-
siderablo quantity of ore soon afterward
and has been intermittently worked over
since by lessees, the Wisconsin produc-
ing at the present time.
The Hortense mine, half a mile from
Bonanza owned by K. S. Fisher of Bo-
nanza, years ago produced small quanti-
ties of ore running as high as $40,000 in
gold and sdver per ton.
The Gem City group of six claims in
Copper gulch, owned by Mr. Widmayer
has large bodies of concentrating ore.
Other similar mines coald be mention-
ed as showt~g the widespread existence
of mineral throughout the district,wbmh
can be mined, hauled and treated today
at great sdvantsge as compared with the
local conditions existing in the latter '80a
~:hen Bonanza began ,o decline.
There are already thre~ o(incentra~ing
mills in more or less successful ,peration
iu the district, wz: the Be]dell mill, ca-
pacity 30 to 40 t(ms per day; the R,,ss
mill, eapaciiy 2Qt, 30 tons and the lea-
bells-Emma mill, capacity al),,ut I0 tons.
All three mills are equipped with Wil-
fley tables.
BETTER DAYS ARE COMING.
The dawn of a brighter period is evi-
dently break|n~, for Bonanza. A few
years ago David G. Wo~mm of New Ym'k
i practically located in B~,nanza and for
himself and associates has slnce acquired

Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of b, ing compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its won-
derful cure,s of the most distressing ca.~.

Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing men-
tlon reading this generous offer In this paper,
over fifty claims, some of which like the
Rawley, Josphine, Paragon, Michigan
and a number of others, were considera-
ble ore producers years ago. He also ac-
quired a smelting plant originally erect-
ed by'Philadelphia capital at Parkville
six miles below Bonanza, which he has
converted into a copper matte plant, it
having the advantage of proximity to
large deposits of iron ore and lime, nee.
essary aa fluxes. Mr. Weems, as before
mentioned, is running a tunnel which
will be eoutinued to a total length of
3,000 feet attaining a maximum vertical
depth below the surface of over 1,300
feet• The coast]mat]on of these and other
plans by Mr. Weems will put au entirely
new complexlon on Bonanza and will am-
ply demonstrate the capabflitie~ of the
district u~ler the improved oondition~
as an ore producer and dividend payer.
Cripple Creek parties have taken a
bond on the Sosthenis mine belonging to
Baldwin & Mackay of Bonanza. Years
ago this property shipped one lot of 606
tons of ore, which'netted $49 per ton
after paying royalty freight and smelting
charges or a total of over $30,000 net re-
cepts on $12,000 Worth of work done on
the property. The ore chewed nix tenths
of an ounce of gold and sixty one ounces
of silver per ton. The Cripple Creek
parties recently took out ore running 19i
ounces silver and $12 in gold per ton.
New England parties have secured a
bond ou the Hanover mine, owned by
Buck & Sharp of Bonanza. It has au in-
cline shaft 300 feet deep, at the bottom
of which is a vein from two to t~ree feet
wide running 25 ounces in silver per ton,
35 per cent. lead and 5 per cent. copper.
OPENING OF EAGLE MOUNTAIN.
One of the most important racent
srents for Bonanza has been the open-
ing up of the Eagle mine of the Lucra-
tive Mining com0any on Eagle mountain
about two miles from Bonanza, disclos-
ing an entirely different class of ore to
any which had theretofore been discov-
ered in the district. Tha workings of
tbe Eagle mine, as yet, arc only 250 feet
deep, and continuous shipments are made
of ore carrying as high as 90 ouuoes per
tea m battle and wire silver, but no gold
lead or copper. The ore improves with
depth. The geological showings on Ea-
gle mountam are exceptionally encour-
aging. ~he Hallwood Mining company
~has undoubtedly ia its ground a little
higher up the mouutmn, more than one
vein, including the continuation of the
Eagle vein. Denver parties have secur-
ed the Dad Rogers claim, paralleling the
Eagle claim. Lower down the hill Dr.
S. E. Kortwright of Bonanza owns the
Edith Charles claim with a shaft 75 feet]
deep, disclosing ore assaying from 6 to 30:
ounces silver per ton. At the base of the
hill the Golden Gate tunnel has been
commenced, the continuation of which
it is expected will cut a number of the
above mentioned veins at depth. Esgte
mountain today presents better surface
showmgs and workings than Gold hill,
Cripple Creek did in the early '90s.
The deepest mme around Bonanza is
only 400 feet deep and the others much
shallower. A careful consideration of
the history of the district and its present
conditions leads to the inevitable con-
clusiou that it only needs further capital
in development work and improved met-
allurgy, always associated with exper-
ienced, competent and conservative man-
agement, to transform a number of the
properties into continuous me shipping,
dividend paying mines. It is, tberefore,
gratifying to know thatoutside capital is
beginning to wake up to the possibilities
of the district under present improved
conditions.
Bonanza has an altitude of about 9,000
feet.. Work can be continuously con-
ducted throughout the wmter. A person
