IT'S A MILLION MAKER.
Mr. Thos. M. Akers, a prominent
mining man of Colorado, arrived in the
city Wednesday from Denver, to re
main for some time. Ho is secretary
nnd superintendent of the Northern
Colorado Mining and Milling company,
owning valuable gold property in the
njw county of Jnckson, northwest of
Fort Collins. Mr. Akors has sjent
years of diligent prospecting in the vi
clnity of tho mining camp at Pcail and
has been successful in locntlng the
source of much of tho high grade placir
gold found on and nenr Independence
mountain. This mountain stnnds almost
alone In the north edge of North Pnrk
and has been noted for a half century
for Its place, gold. For fifty years
n.inars have been placorinK on nnd
around this famous mountain with prof
itnblo results. They wcro contented
with tho returns of
foiled to trace the gold to its original
source.
About thirteen years ago Mr. Akcrs,
a student at Cornell college and a suc
cessful geologist, after having spent
several years In tho various Colorado
mining camps, decided to undertake
the location of the mother vein nt Inde
pendence mountain which gnve off such
great quantities of the precious yellow
metal. A systematic Bearch was in
auguratcn. For years ho prospected
and studied the geological condition of
tho Pearl district. His determination,
grit and endurance, backed up by his
thorough knowledge of mining, brought
bjcccbs to his efforts nnd he is confident
thnt he has tho key which unlocks the
vnults of tho golden trensury of In
dependence mountain. No one can
doubt tho honesty nnd conscientiousnePB
of Mr. Akers as he Is a man of
integrity and is known as such by his
many friends in this city nnd other
towns of Nebraska. To substantiate
this he has associated with him in his
enterprise some of tho most prominent
citizens and business men of North
Platte. His endorsement from such
men who have carefully gone Into the
merits of tho Interprise arguo In an
indlsDutablo way for its success, Be
sides this Mr. Akers also has the en
dorsoment of Bomo of Colorado's lead
ing mining men who have given his
mining property a thorough inspection.
In piesenting this proposition to his
friends Mr. Akers does so believing
thnt It hi tho best to bo found nnd he
substantiates his claim by good sound
reasoning nnd facts. Ho knows many
of tho mining men of Colorado who
l.avo labored incessantly for tho results
of successful mining which havo made
them millionaires. His determination
and knowledgo of tho industry has
won for him results that never could
have been obtained otherwise.
