A Fine Outlook for Massillon Mining Claims

A. Y. Gordon, former Farmers Telephone supervisor, returns from Northern Colorado where mining work near Massillon shows promise. A shaft exceeds 100 feet with machines ready for spring development. Four nearby companies advance shafts, electric plant plans, and a stamp mill. La Poudre river will power this expanding region, with a planned railway to Denver likely. Prospectors flood in, and tourist appeal grows around Zimmerman Home and Estes and North parks nearby. Deer, bear, and mountain lions abound in the area, with trout in streams and rich scenery nearby.
