MINING FEVER 
MaAnNcHESTER PropL—E Have BEEN 
BITTEN BY THE MINING Bue. 
_ Since the sudden rise in value of 
the stock of the Iron ‘Cap ‘Copper Co., 
which was largely officered by Man- 
‘chester men and in which many Man- 
chester people were — stockholders, 
there has been a good deal of interest 
taken in certain likely mining stocks 
by Manchester people. Recalling the 
neat sums realized by the holders of 
the Iron ‘Cap stock others have fol- 
lowed with interest the organization 
of the Gold Cup Mining Co. of which 
Howard L. Winchester, a Manchester 
man, is president. Mr. Winchester, 
who played an important part in the 
reorganization of the Iron Cap ‘Cop- 
per Co., is the moving spirit of the 
new venture. 
The Gold ‘Cup property is located 
one mile from Central City, Colorado, 
in the midst of a valuable mining ter- 
ritory and 38 miles from Denver. 
Through mismanagement of former 
ewners it had never advanced much 
beyond the prospect stage, according 
to the present owners. The present 
company has been thoroughly  re- 
crganized and the debts of the former 
stockholders taken care of. At pres- 
ent, although still in a development 
stage it is paying the expenses of 
working. The stock of the company 
has a par value of one dollar and un- 
der the plan of reorganization but 
little stock has found its way to the 
market. Much of that which has 
been offered for sale has been snapped 
up by Manchester people. 
Speaking of the eagerness of peo- 
ple to buy the stock Mr. Winchester 
said there was danger of purchasers 
rushing: in with the idea that the mine 
was a-“sure thing.” He said that 
while the reports of the engineers 
were highly favorable it must be re- 
membered that the property was still 
in the development stage and its fu- 
ture value largely a chance. 
In Central City the Gold Cup mine 
is called the best prospect around. 
William Cooper, the Denver Mining 
engineer who made the report on the 
mine on Oct. 20, 1916, said, “The 
Buckeye shaft has a showing ‘of 
smelting ore two feet wide and the 
Winze shaft has a three-foot show- 
ing. Both shafts have the same 
walls, the same course and the same 
dip. The showing appears to be the 
edge presentation of a large ore body. 
Development alone will tell whether 
this is correct.” The ore taken from 
the mine to date has assayed from 
$70 to $110 a ton. The smelter re- 
turns on the shipments of ore taken 
cut during development work show 
two ounces of gold to the ton, 11.25

ounces of silver to the ton and 33.80 
percent of lead. The price of gold 
being fixed at $19.50 a ton gives 
stability to shipments of ore whatever 
the price may be for other metals. 
Another point emphasized by the di- 
rectors of the Gold Cup Mining Co. 
is that according to the best author- 
ities lead today is not easily found and 
is not again likely to be low priced or 
over produced. The large lead areas 
of this country seem to have been 
discovered and opened up to the ex- 
tent that today production and con- 
sumption are on such a basis that good 
judges believe lead will not again sink 
to its former price, or anything like 
it 
The Gold Cup Mining Co.’s stock 
is said to be the best buy on the Bos- 
ton curb today, according to the “wise 
ones” and many Manchester people 
are among them. 
Mr. Winchester, the president ot 
the Gold Cup, was until recently a 
salesman for the Valvoline Oil Co. of 
30ston. His many interests outside 
led him to resign from the sales force 
of the Valvoline about the time he 
assumed charge of the affairs of the 
Gold Cup. So highly did the officials 
of the Valvoline Oil Co. regard his 
services, however, that they still pay 
kim a big salary and allow him to de- 
vote his entire time to his other inter- 
ests. One of the companies Mr. Win- 
chester is interested in is Winchester, 
Hayden, Powell, Inc., recently organ- 
ized to handle investments. The new 
company has already engaged in sev- 
eral profitable transactions.
