RECENT telegrams from Manila
say that the Mohammedan inhab-
itants of the island of Mindauao,
which is one of the largest of the
Philippine group and the Sulu
archipelago, are declaring their
loyalty to the United States and
readiness to support the American
army against the followers of Agni-
ualdo. This is believed to be due
largely to the influence of the sui
tan of Turkey, who is the spiritual
head of the Moslem church and
exercises religious authority over
all the adherents of that faith.
Abdul Hamid ii. has always been
friendly to the United States, and
has been greatly impressed by the
achievements of our navy during
the war. During the hostilities he
frequently expressed his sympathy
to Minister Straus at CONSTANT
nople.-Denver News.

THERE seems at this time to be
nothing in the way of very much
improved road between this place
and Cyanide. Yesterday grading
was commenced west OF the f. a.
G, G. tracks, and when this is com
pleted, and the surface covered
with good substantial coat of
cinders, it will amount in effect to
shortening the distance between
Florence and Cyanide. At the
present time there are at least a
hundred men at Cyanide who live
in this place, and when this i'm
provement is made, it is believed
there are many more. who will
make the trip back and forth rath-
er than stay at Cyanide. 1t is a
commendable action on the part
of the county commissioners, and
one that will be appreciated by
everyone who has business at
Cyanide.

PROBABLY no finer opportunity
was ever offered the administration
republican party of Arapahoe
county for signal victory in n
city campaign, than the one now
confronting that party. 1t would
seem as if that party must take
the initiative in the matter, put up
men of known integrity and ability
and men who have been staunch
republicans always, and the chance
for success is most excellent. But
there should be no fusion.

but he makes it point to interest
the visitor in that department. In
fact the entire office force are men
of such character as makes them
exceptionally agreeable people to
meet.
On the second floor of this build
ing the management has furnished
a pleasant reading room for the
benefit of the employees. This is
supplied with all the leading peri
odicals and makes an ideal place
for the young men to drop into
during a part of the lunch hour or
during the long winter evenings.
From every point of view the
entire plant and Offices are models
of perfectness in construction and
show that the company has built
from the first with the expectation
of future development and expan-
sion; and as time goes on and new
properties are developed in the
gold district, there can be little
doubt but that the Cyanide reduc-
tion plant will proportionately in
crease its capacity.

A LAW forcing into the army
all the able bodied men found
guilty of tramping about the coun-
try and preying on the public, has
many points in its favor. Recon
tly many men have been compelled
to tramp in search of work, but
just at present, nine out of ten
tramps are tramps from choice.
They can be most economically
provided for a standing army, and
the expense will be equalized,
those who have the most, and can
best afford it, paying the greater
share. Besides, it will increase the
opportunities for work to those
who honestly want work. will make
employment more secure and
wages better. This country is big
enough now to demand, require
and maintain standing army of
considerable proportions, and it
should be recruited from the army
of tramps.-Telluride journal.

A statue In Prison,

found his work declined on account Of
its ugliness. the subject refusing to be-
lieve it was good likeness,

deny the likeness and refuse to take the
bust. and accept the excuse.
He accordingly set up the bust in his
studio, surrounded by small. card pa
per prison. gloomily painted over. on
which was inscribed. '.For Debt. The
portrait was 40 unmistakable that
everybody in town recognized it and
hocked to the artists studio to enjoy
his ingenious revenge Soon the subject
came, passionately complaining of the
ridicu@e to which he had been subjected

is no name upon it. and you have Mt

THE METALLIC
EXTRACTION CO.
A Brief History of an Extensive
Industry
WHERE GOLD BRICKS GROW.

commercial lie OF Florence, is the
large plant of the Metallic Extrac-
tion company, situated at the sub
urban station of Cyanide, two
miles northwest of town.
Since the plant was established
five years ago, the business of the
company has steadily increased,
and in the same proportion the ca
pacity of the works has been en-
larged until now the amount OF
ore treated is nearly four times as
large as it was in the beginning.
The first ground was broken,
preparatory to the erection of the
plant, on November l5, 1894, and
on June |, of the following year,
the first ole was dumped into the
hoppers. At that time the mills
capacity was about so tons per day
At this time the institution is ca
pable of handling 300 tons, and is
now the worlds second largest
works using the cyanide process
for treating gold ore. The plant
has been twice enlarged to reach
its present capacity.
The first ore handled WAS re-
ceived from Cripple Creek, and
WAS of such nature as to allow
treating without roasting. The
ore changed with depth, however,
and alterations we're made in the
works until the plant is now capa-
hle of roasting $50 tons per day
The various additions that have
been made have been of such an
extent ms to require continual
construction force up to this year,
and the works are now complete
with the exception of failing
plant, which will probably be
added in the future.
The value of the ore treated by
the Metallic Extraction company
ranges from IS to $120 per ton,
but the low grade ore is in prepon-
derance-the average value being
about $50.
One hundred and fifty men are
directly employed in the operation
of this plant, and taking into con-
sideration the number of men en-
ployed in the mines in the Cripple
Creek district, and in the coal
mines, at least four hundred more
would be affected if, from any
cause, accident or otherwise, the
works should be closed down.
The local offices of the company
are located in fine, brick build
ing just south of the mills, which
was built for this purpose, Here
it is that the person who is received
in the private office of the general
manager. Phillip Argall, may find
pleasure in his visit. The man
who has the responsibility of the
success of the entire institution
will simply lay aside the business
cares that ordinarily cannot but
weigh upon him, and make the
caller feel that he is welcome. As
a clincher he will probably be in
vited to join in a social smoke,
while ye host will explain the
points of interest concerning the
plant, and if it is nearly shipping
time gold brick or two may be
disclosed for the admiration of the
visitor.
No less cordial is the visitors

sided over by head bookkeeper and

the French government made no effort to

proh,bition and Insanity.

Toneka Kan, Jan. o. Insanity is on
an alarming increase in b .ansas. Ihere
are no less than ten bills in the legisia-

To the various counties more than S2OO,O0
for the care of destitute in sane persons
for whom there is no room IN the over
crowded state charitable inst tutions.
This alarming condition is causing no
small amount of speculation as to the
probable cause A group of weil-known
politicians were discussing the matter to-
dav. and they all agreed that the rotten
whisky imported into Kansas was respon-
sible for wrecl1ing more minds than any
other cause. Liquor too vile fol' copper
lined stomach and strong enough to burn a
hole through solid plank is di stilled es-

whisky and other well-known brands OF
tanglefoot made more crazy drunkards
each month, who eventually become pub

whisky sold under reasonable restrictions,
would produce in ten years.
