Cobalt Mines In Wyoming.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Cobalt Ia better than gold. A cobalt
mine Is more desirable than the richest
golden bonanza Of all the Rocky noun
tains." This is the talk one hears at
the Miners National Bureau Of Denver;
this is the talk that Is electrlfying the
Western mining world; for cobalt has
been discovered at Grand Encampment,
Wyo., and the French mineralOgist,
Charles Poulot, has added new laurels
to his reputation for the discovery.
It is not the first discovery Of cobalt
in America, but 1t is probably the most
notable. The metal Is never found in
a pure state, but mixed with nickel,
copper or some other element. Cobalt
ore Is worth $32 per ton for each per
cent. that the ore contains, and the
French mineralogist has f0uld the Grand
Encampment ore to contain per cent.
of 1t. Cobalt is worth S1.60 pound,
and there is one mine In this district
where thousands of tons OF this ore
are already in sight Cobalt Is the active
principle that colors blue all porcelain
and glass, and from 1t the worlds great
churches and cathedrals receive their
delicate shading In blue in their arched
windows and domes. Cobalt Is the ac-
tive principle Of blue in oil and water
painting. 1t is one OF the rarest min
erals. Norway, Sweden and Bohemia
have In the past furnished the bulk OF
the worlds supply.
M. POulOt represents millions Of dol
lars OF French capital, and he lays 1t all
at the feet OF the Grand EnCampment
miners for ore containing cobalt. The
mine in question is a copper mine, and
in addition to It's copper value, which Is
20 per cent. pure, It's ore yields $128 to
the ton in cobalt. This Is only one
among hundreds of copper mines at
Grand Encampment, and If they all con-
tain cobalt, Wyoming's new mining dis
trict within year may be producing
more wealth than any three other min
ing districts in the world, not except
ing the KlOndlke, the Transvaal and
Cripple Creek

The Duplex

N~>N~NeND~N~No~o
Read the Following Testimonial;

1 have had Duplex In constant use for the
last two years and it has given great satisfac-
tlOn. The alignment is still perfect as is its
work in every way, and it shows hardly any
traces Of wear.
l first heard of the machine through an Oper-
ator Of this city who told me that young lady
operator at the Worlds Fair wrote an average
Of 143 words per minute to his dlctatlOn for
twenty minutes. He was very enthusiastic in
praise of the machine, and on his recommen-
datiOn bought one. 1 found 1t very easy to
learn, and its speed and the elegance OF its
work are the admiration OF all who have seen
It, have seen nearly all the writing machines
ON the market and have operated the principal
ones, and think the Duplex by far the best In
every way. It's double keyboard makes 1t
about twice as fast as the ordinary machine,
and hope to soon take take the lead as 1t so
we'll deserves. 1t is difficult to see how any
one, once having operated the Duplex, could
ever go back to one of the slow and cumbrous
old-style machines. 1t has points of excel
lence not possessed by other machines, espe-
cially It's double features and the device for
shading letters. JOHN H. HOOD,

The Duplex has double speed and
double durability. It has double

one for the right; and two points of
