kankakee Group.

The Silverton Miner OF last Satur-
ing the kankakee group of mines
which will be OF interest:
The owners OF the Kankakee group
are congratulating themselves on the
possession OF property that bids fair
TO prove more prolific in gold deposits
than the most productive mines at
Cripple Creek. Much work has been
done on the property and iattering
results obtained. The Sylvenite.
Monarch. Golden Eagle and other
claims are showing up vast deposits
and the ore is wonderfully rich and
the supply almost inexhaustible. The
mineralized zone OF which the Kan
kakeee is now the known center. is
believed to be four miles wide and
extends along the entire high ridges
OF eastern San Juan county north
ward to the ridge that forms the
south water shed of Henson creek in
Hinsdale county. This entire terri
tory is unprospected, but has been for
years considered rich in gold re-

The school at Trimble Springs has
been somewhat unfortunate this last

of being studious and painstaking, the
best results cannot be obtained where

the school work takes a late second.

Siberia Rich in Butter.

year the imports OF Siberian butter
were valued at el 100000. and this
year 1t Is estimated that they will
reach the value of G2.500.0O (4t2.-

which Siberia can furnish Is said to
be practically unlimited. and II Is
possible that the opening up Of ST.

Australia Is proving a formidable
rival in the butter industry OF the
world. and the rapid growth of the
export trade of that country has ad
vanced steadily during the past few
years. From the colony of Victoria
alone there were exported to Great
Britain during ls99-l90O 171O7 tons
representing gross value OF So

Victoria commenced in 1888 Dur
ing the first year the quantity ex-
ported was 369H tons. representing
monetary value OF 3255 900 In
the following year 1t had risen to
759h tons. OF a value Of $4,000

MOSQUITOES SAID TO
DELIGHT IN MUSIC

A mosquitoes delight in music
seems now to be clearly proved. Doc
tor Jolly, French naval surgeon. who
has been experimenting at Madagas-
car. where these troublesome insects
swarm. and who has written a lucid
description of their habits and modes
of life, says positively that they are
affected in a strange manner when
ever they hear musical instrument,
especially a stringed one.
''If one plays In room" he says
"all the mosquitoes that hide in IT.
will begin to dance. and II the win.
dows are open many more will dart
in and join in the sport. Moreover
person who plays in the open air Is
soon surrounded by so many OF these
insects that It is impossible for him to
give proper attention to his instru

SNOWFALL.

Below we give the report of the
state weather bureau concerning the
fall OF snow during February. showing
present depth along certain water
sheds and same will be of interest to
readers as follows:
The precipitation during February
was very unevenly distributed and for
the mountain regions as whole was
considerably below normal, in fact
the deficiency was even more marked
than for any of the four preceding
months. East OF the Continental di-
vide the storms did not make good
the loss by evaporation and the same
was true of the western slope prior
to the prolonged storm which set in
on the 25th and continued into March
This storm proved to be the heaviest
of the winter in the southwestern
part OF the state. Over areas on the
upper watershed of the Uncompahgre
and the San Miguel the snowfall was
reported the heaviest in twelve years,
the duration of the storm considered
Snowslides were numerous and caus-
ed great loss OF life and property.
Reviewing the conditions that have
prevailed since September it appears
there was about the normal snowfall
during December. but a deficiency
was noted for October. November and
January, while for February, usually
the wettest month for winter the to-
tai fall was only about one-third of
normal. For the five months the to-
tai was approximately so per cent OF
normal and this was subject more
than the average amount of sunshine
and wind.
