Members of the Colorado Scientific Society attending the 127th Regular Meeting held at the Masonic Hall in Cripple Creek July 1st, 1895, visited on the 2nd of July several mines and mills; Portland, Raven, Ruby, Lucky Guss, Zenobia, Pharmacist, Victor, Buena Vista, Londonderry, Climax, Deerhorn, Summit mines were visited, and also the Brodie and Hartzell Mills were inspected.

"The shapeless stones that stand out above the grass here are rich in gold. I saw an old storm-swept rock, weighing fifty pounds, one end of which assayed 80 cents, the other $9,000 to the ton.

"Men are paid $2 a ton for picking these rocks out and sorting them, and Superintendent Dickey says all miners who apply at the Summit mine for work are given employment in this way. One man who was at work in a shallow drift said he had taken out twenty-five tons in a week, working leisurely.

"Every day there are new locations made and each month's shipments show an increase over the preceding month."

[Gazette]—A sack of gold retorts from the Summit mine was brought down from camp yesterday. The value was about $2500, and is the second shipment of the month from the Summit.
They are from the Summit mill.

There is enough ore on the dump of the Summit now to keep the 20 stamps busy a year. Twenty men are employed on the Summit lead, and this number will be doubled soon.
