EIGHT HOUR LAW VOID.

Tho eight hour law is void, says Mon
day evenings Denver Times. In the
presence OF few smelter men, attorneys
and others, the supreme court held that
the Moore eight hour law, passed by the
Twelfth general assembly, to be wholly
unconstitutional and void. No opinion
was handed down. In statement en-
bracing the decision, Chief Justice
Campbell said that the court is pressed
with business, and had not this case
been of paramount Importance decision
could not have been reached at this
time. The judges, however, have given
careful consideration to the briefs and
authorities, and are unanimous in the
opinion against the validity of the law.
The decision was not a surprise to the
men. They were almost unit in ex.
pecting its death. The managers were
confident Of it.
There have been no Developments
Managers have not conferred, while the
men are busy together this evening. In
dications are that the latter will presen,
another request to the managers for
better wages, which will be taken up
the men insisting on recognition Of their
union, which will be refused.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Campbell last Monday morning.

COPPER PRODUCTS COLORADO 1893.
A report from the mineral division of
the geological survey shows that $780,
376,591 pounds of copper were mined in
the United States during the last year.
OF this amount 1924, ,561 pounds were
mined in Colorado, 233,044 pounds in
Wyoming, 1,592,371 pounds in New
Mexico. The total production in the
United States in that year is by far the
largest ever reported. The greatest in
crease in the production of copper was in
Arizona, while the lake district also re-
corded an advance Montana fell off
considerably.
COOK COMPANY'S JULY OUTPUT.
From Mr.. Clarence X. Colvin, general
manager of the Cook Gold Mining COM
pany's property, the information is de-
rived that during the month of June
there was shipped 75 tons of ore to the
State Ore Sampling works in Black
Hawk, 2,750 tons of stamp mill ore to
the custom stamp mills in that city and
$40 tons OF concentrates were sold, which
gives an aggregate tonnage for the
month of 2,465 tons of ore and con.
centrates as an output for June, 1s99
The cage shaft is being sunk another 100
feet, which will, when completed, give a
total depth of 800 feet. AS power drills
are used, rapid headway is made in sink
ing, cutting out stations and in other de-
velopment of the property.
PYRITIo FURNACES FOR Low GRADE
ORES.
The treatment of low grade ores has
of late received much attention because
of the quantities found in every mining
camp in the state, says the Denver Even
ing Post. The smelters declined to treat
this class of ore, as they had all of
high grade they needed, and the profit
is naturally greater. This low grade ore
was, therefore, either not mined at all,
or, if taken out, thrown over the dumps.
or late, however, the erection of pyritic
furnaces will give the long desired out
let for certain class OF ores which run
too low in the precious metals to be
handled by the regular furnaces. The
furnaces can be operated to advantage
wherever the kind of ore adapted to this
process Of smelling is found in quanti-
ties. 1t has been ascertained that with
the present price of iron pyrites contain
ing precious metals to the value OF s5 to
the ton can be treated to a profit. The
matte produced will be very acceptable
to the reaneries, and the furnaces will
have no trouble in disposing Of it. 1t is
reported that pyritic furnaces will be
erected in Gilpin, Summit, Chaffee, Lake
and Gunnison counties during this sea-
son.

BRITISH INLAND POSTAL-CARD
 CHANGE

The post-office is exceedingly reticent with reference to the report that the department has agreed to enlarge the official inland postcard, the change to take effect from November i. The be- lief is that two cards-one white and the other buff, equal in size to the English foreign cards, or one-seventh larger than the present inland card will be substituted for those now in use. But this is only a conjecture, which the post-office authorities are disinclined to confirm or contradict. Any communication they may have given on the subject was apparently understood to be confidential, and whatever pubis announcements have been made are altogether premature. It is said that Messrs. De la Rue X Go. are producing cards under the new ar engagement, but this firm, like the post office, is silent A number of German firms, desirous of submitting to the public illustrated postcards of the new size have applied for information, but they do not appear to have obtained any data which, from their point of view, would justify their mourning any risk.-London Telegraph.

THE SCHOOL SUPERVISORS
ffon+inuad from First Page.)


 cooking schools were established in only two schools, the Strong school and the Boardman school, 1t was necessary for some children to travel at least four miles to get to the cooking schools MT Leigh thought hat frills had taken the place of sound education.
 MT Dewell questioned about the ln- struction in sewing and MT Moran stated that plain sewing was taught, such as sewing on buttons. MT. DeWell asked if the regular teachers were not competent to teach this without hiring a special sewing teacher. MT. Moran thought that some teachers mlghl teach sewing, but would give no opln- ion as to what proportion of the teach- CTS could teach it. He thought that such good results could not be obtained by having ordinary teachers instruct in sewing. In answer to MT. DeWell questions, MT. Moran said that water color painting was not taught in the schools now, as it has been in previous years. It had been dropped to save expense. MT. Dewell asked if super yisors in certain subjects had been dropped and yet instruction ill those subjects had gone on if it was not pos sibe that other supervisors might De dropped to advantage. The committee was disposed to rule this question out although Alderman c. F. Brennan thought that it should be allowed Be- fore the question was determined the committee adjourned to meet agaln next Tuesday night
