Victim.
ANOTHER DENVER HOLD.UF.

Denver, Dec. ga daring hold
up WAS committed opposite the
East Denver high school last night
by the long and short man who
appear to be again operating in
this city.
A. F. Swane. of Florence, who
is stopping at 432 Third avenue,
was going to his room shortly
after 10 O'Clock last night, and he
cut across lots between Stout and
and California streets on Twen-
tieth street. A large bill board
extends diagonally across this lot,
and the path runs directly in front
of it.
Swane was walking swiftly along
and had almost reached the end of
the board when two men jumped
out and shouted "hands up,n and
the taller of the two men thrust a
revolver into the victims face.
Swane Immediately put up his
hands. The holdups secured $40
in bills and some small change in
silver, which was all he had.
When they were done the rob-
bers told him to go his way, and
not to turn back or they would
shoot him.
Swane says that he WAS fright

BIG SMELTER
BEGINS WORK
First Furnsce Was Blown In
This Afternoon.
SPLENDID INSTITUTION

! The Rocky Mountain matte
smelter blew in at O'Clock this
afternoon. With the inauguration
of this, the most important indus
trial enterprise in Colorado, a new
era in the treatment of ores has
been established.
The blowing in of the initial
furnace, under the direction of DIR.
Franklin h Carpenter, signalizes
the beginning of radical revolu
tion in the business of mining and
treatment of precious metal bear
ing ores throughout the West. 1t
is not to be understood by outside
readers that this event marks the
inception of treating such ores by
fire, for lead smelling has been
successfully carried on for more
than ihirty-three years; but the
opening of new epoch, which
may be called Concentration by
fire.
The process of this plant is es-
pecially designed to reduce all
kinds of mineral, except that con-
tanning lead and zinc, to copper
or iron base, called matte, which
product, when obtained, is sold to
the lead smelters, where it is used
as valuable flux. The smelter
is capable of handling large ton
nages daily at very low cost, and

mineral which are not readily
amenable toiother methods of treat
ment. 1t will also be conducted
with less waste or loss of value
! than is customary in other milling
esta blish ments.
While this method has been
firmly established for more than
ten years in the Black Hills of Da-
kota, and for the past two years at
Leadville, the Florence plant is
the first one of it's kind to be in
troduced here as prospectively
governing factor in mining econ
omy.
1t is the finest and most com
plete matte smelter ever built in
this country The enterprise was
conceived and formulated by w
K. and w. X. johnson of Denver
and Florence, and who we're the
originators and builders of the
Florence g. Cripple Creek railway
The incorporation papers for the
smelter company were drawn 6
nun ber of years ago, but little
further transpired until the beign
ming of the present year, when DIR
Carpenter appeared upon the scene
and after due negotiations became
the consulting metallurgist, and il
this capacity designed the entire
plant,

That the House Will Take on the War
Revenue Income

Washington, Nov. .22.-The Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee made such progress yester-
day with the bill to amend the war
revenue law that it is expected the first
draft will be completed by-tonight. The
committee decided to make the bill for
a reduction of $30,0OO.OOo Il year. This
is the amount suggested by Secretary
Gage, and it is understood meets the
views of the president.
In fact, the members Of the ways
and means committee who saw the
president Tuesday, say that before Sec
rotary Gage appeared before the com
mittee the whole matter had been care
fully considered by the president and
the secretary. Briefs of interested par
ties are being received and considered,
but the committee has given no hear
ings and will not do so.

The path of the storm is about $50

western suburbs of the town. In its
path everything is completely wrecked
Not even the iron and stone fence of
the arsenal grounds is standing. The
houses of Captain AydelOtt. the Far
rells and other large residences were
demolished. With the exception of
these four houses the storms path was
through a section of the town popu-
lated chiefly by negroes and the poorer
classes, and the houses were mere

were totally destroyed and a larger
number damaged. The suffering of
these people, rendered homeless and

FLOODS IN TEXAS.

The accounts that are published, de-
failing in some instances the harrow "
ing scenes, in reference to the recent
terrible floods in Texas are truly APP
palling. AT Austin the flood, which
rushed with raging fury through the
lower part Of the city, swept every>
thing in its path carrying death and
destruction in its frightful course.
Forty lives were lost aud valuable
property, TO the amount OF millions of
dollars, was destroyed. The disaster
was not unlike that of Johnstown, the
memory Of which is still fresh in the
minds of many, as it was caused by the
surging waters OF aswollen river which
dashed with irresistible force against
q dam spanning the river at Austin.
The city lost her entire light system
which was wholly dependent upon the
dam for motive power.
