Denver, Colorado Territory, Dec. 4, 1869. Some of the gold and siiver mines of Empire City have yielded large returns, but there is less activity among the mines and mills at present than there Promises to be next summer. Stiver Mountain nas already yielded more than $1,000,000 worth, not of silver, but of gold, The Silver Mountaty jode, whica has been opened a distance of 400 feet, 19 temporarily abandoned, Tae Peck lode, on Silver Mountain, is furnishing a suMicient quantity of quariz to keep the mil of twelve stamps running day and nigut, with profitable results, The famous Conqueror lode, which has attaimed a depth of 400 feet, continues to supply from eight to ten tons of ore per day. The orcs con- tain both gold and silver, and specimens snow tine assays; but some of them are so reiractory that they cannot be made to render reasonable profits under any of the systems of reduction now in vogue. The Rosecrans mine has six shaits and several levels, giving an aggregate distance of five hundred feet The ores are similar to those of the Conguerer lode. Large outlays for machinery which is compara- tively useless and injodicions management are heavy offsets to the natural richuess of the mine. ‘The National and the Livingstone county lodes are valuable ciaims, and so are many others in the Union district. Most of them could be made quite profitable, even under the present methods of manipulating ores, if properly de- veloped, In the adjoining district thece are a ouinber of inviting veins'which have been examined suill- ciently to show that they contain rich deposits of the precious metals. Epergy and capital would soon turn them mto paying properties, Selected spect wens of the Blue Jacket silver lode sbow an assay vaine of $900 per ton, The average yield of the whole crevice material ts estimated at $125 per tou, ‘The Comstock ore contains nearly fitty per cent of lead, The sliver assay gives a value of $1,260 per ton in the selected specimens. Tuc Blue Wiug, America, Whale and Wonder lodes are among wie many 10 that region Which practical miners are weil aware would return handsome protits if careiully developed, During the past summer there has been more ac- tivity in tue guid mines and reduction works of Gilpin county than during some previous seasons, I visited twenty-nine stamp mills, a of which are Jo operation, in Central City and vicinity, Half a dozen others are closed present, Six hundred and twenty-four stamps are at work In the milis in operation, and they are crusbing an aggregate of 300 vons of ore per Week. Professor Hil’s smelting works are in full biast, reducing ores trom various mines, hitherto at large aud certaim profits. These, however, are not 80 great’ as some people have Imagined. The works are owned by @ company, and the operations are saperintended oy Professor Hil, who receives a cer- tain percentage of the gatas, The establisament is a great convenience to many miners. They can sell their ores at good prices, the value belng setued by assays, and bave no furiter troubie Of respousibility with them. The Professor says tat the full 1a the price of gold will more than swaliow up Coe profits that were expected to accrue from a large quantity Oi ore already purchased, Of the Gilpin goid mines the Gregory lode was the first discovered. It has contiaued co yield asatisiac- Jory profit, The goid is found in microscopic par ucles, mechanically diffused or chemically combined with sulphur. The ores assay from tliree to six ounces of gola per ton, Most of them are sold to Prolessor Hill for treasment in his smeiting Works. ‘ihe o.with and Parmeles tine is being worked witu energy aud success, Some of the ores are very rivh, but the average assay Vaine of the wihu.e ts about $125 per tom.
