DbReborn Summitville, Colo., May 27 P— Dead and deserted for inany years, Summitville is on the golden thresh- old of a new birth. Its western hills again are yielding tho metal as a result of the faith that John (Jack) Pickens, veteran miner, kopt secret for 24 years. Once the outpoSt of an advancing gold rush, Summitville late in the last century became & thriving vil- lage of 1,500 souls, with the attend- ant dance halls, saloons and gamb- ling houses. e Then came the slump. The veins *petered out.” Prospectors pulled their stakes and sought richer fields, and Summitville became another of Colorado’s ghost towns. Its once pre- | tentious buildings crumpled into de- cay.
