OF the officers. 1t was a lease. The
question of profit or loss affected the
owner of the wagon and no one else.
But this arrangement didn't suit.
There was sentiment abroad that
public utilities should be owned and
operated by the common people. Why
not try It on the patrol wagon?
Accordingly the outfit was purchased
and has been in successful operation
these twelve years by the police. And
II paid a profit. too. II you ever get
a ride in the patrol wagon, you'll find
1t is not all free. In fact you are
taxed 81 by the Judge when you set
tie. In proportion to the amount in
vested, good money can be made with
a patrol wagon.
Now there is a city ambulance which
will relieve the patrol Of the burden Of
accident and hospital calls.

In the opinion Of the sentimental the
discarded wagon presents forlorn ap-
pearance, standing just without the
protection of the station shed. 1t has
met the penalty of old age-oblivion-
but It's past is without blemish. and
many a veteran policeman struggles
to suppress a sigh when he fondly re-
calls associations that cluster about
the abandoned patrol wagon.

ARCHBISHOP coRRIeAN DEAD.
His Death the Result of an Attack of
Pneumonia.

New York, May 6.-Archbishop Mich
ael Augustine Corrigan died at Hos
o'clock last night, aged sixty-two
years.
His illness really dated from the end
of February, this year, when. in going
through the Kelly memorial chapel, in
course of construction at the rear of
the cathedral. he fell between some
beams and to keep himself from falling
to the floor below he had to hold him
self up by the armpits. The strain was
very great and before he recovered
from the effects of the accident he was
attacked with pneumonia. 1t was
thought that he was out of danger, but
his condition last night was bad and
he was unable to rally.
The archdiocese of New York. of
which Archbishop Corrigan was in
charge, comprises the boroughs of
Manhattan, Bronx and Richmond of
the city of New York and the counties
of Duchess, Orange, Putnam, Rock
land, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.
The Catholic population amounts to
100000 There are 216 churches, 1856
chapels. 116 priests and thirty-one sta
tons visited.
The assistant bishop Is Monsignor
Farley, but as he is only assistant
he has no right of succession and the
bishop must consequently be elected.

WORLDS FAIR PREPARATIONS.
Appointment of Woman's Auxiliary
Board.

Denver May 6.-The st. Louis
Worlds Fair Commission yesterday
appointed a woman's auxiliary board,
whose duty it shall be to cooperate
with the commission in securing eX-
hibits and money for exhibits at the
st. Louis fair and to secure special
exhibit of women's work. The policy
established by Governor Orman in ap-
pointing the commission i'll the first
place-that of making it practically a
partisan body, was carried out in the
naming of the auxiliary board, several
members of which are the wives of
Democratic state senators. The men,
bers named are: Mrs. Delos A. Chap
pelle, Denver, Mrs. NJ. ID. Thatcher,
Pueblo; Mrs. II. NJ. Harding, Canon
City; Mrs. Charles E. Ward, Pueblo;
Mrs. C. a. Eldredge, Colorado Springs;
Mrs. w. S. Buckley, Telluride, and
Mrs. George j. Dunbaugh, Pueblo
At the earliest date possible, prob
ably in June, the commissioners will
take trip TO st. Louis for the purpose
of deciding upon site for the Colorado
building. Several sketches for plans
for the building have been before the
commission, and plan will be chosen
as soon as it is known how much
money can be spent upon the Colorado
| building.
One of the features of the Colorado
exhibit at st. Louis will be a display
of photographs of the scenery of the
| state. Che commission intends to ask
| the cooperation of the camera clubs,
and the amateur and professional pho
| tographers of the state in securing n
large collection of pictures, showing
not only the magnificent scenery, but
views of farms, of hunting grounds
and of summer resorts. 1t is believed
that in this way a showing can be
made of the greatest value in advertis-
ing the state.

EXPERIMENTS SHOW THAT CATTLE CAN
BE PROFITABLY FATTENED in COLORADO

Denver, May 6.-Colorado stockmen
are just now very enthusiastic over the
subject of feeding stock for market
The fact that Denver is to have n new
packing plant in the near future is not
the only reason for this enthusiasm,
says the Republican. The peculiar con-
ditions existing in the live stock mar
ket last fall owing to the failure of the
corn crop, which resulted in n falling
off In the demand for cattle for feeding
caused many Colorado cattlemen TO
hold their steers and feed them hay
during the winter. Last fall choice
feeders were selling at 3la cents a
pound. This spring feeders are only
worth about Az cents, while the hay
fed cattle are bringing as high as g
cents a pound and are in strong de
mand.
While efforts have been made before
to feed cattle in the winter. 1t has
usually been what the cattlemen call
''roughing them through or simply
feeding enough hay to keep them alive.
The idea that cattle could be made fat
enough for beef during the winter was
dreamed of before. One farmer near
Denver sold herd OF winter-fed cat
tie in Denver for S5.15 hundred
weight. He cleared about S17 head
on his investment He fed some wheat,
however, and his cattle were classed as
cornfeds. One man who sold half n
dozen hay-fed cattle netted n profit of
$40 ON the six head after paying ex.
penses.
The result of these experiments has
been to determine many stockmen and
farmers to feed cattle next winter and
present Indications are that there win
be very few feeders sent from Colora-

ZINC MINING PROMISES TO REVIVE
MANY OLD COLORADO SILVER CAMPS

Denver, May 6.-Within the next five
years all thought Of the depression
caused by the closing of the silver
mines will have been dissipated by the
progress Of new industry which will
be opened up by the erection of zinc
smelters in different parts of the state,
says an article In the Denver Republi-
can. The American Smelling and Re-
fining Company has commenced work
on new smelter at Pueblo, which will
be finished by next fall, and which will
be but the forerunner of numerous
plants of this kind in different parts
of the state.
1t Is expected that the zinc industry
will soon equal the lead industry in i'm
portance. An estimate made by one
of the foremost smelling men in the
atate is that there will be at least $4,000
IONS of pure metallic zinc annually pro-
duced in Colorado, after the industry
is well established. The market price
of zinc at present is $S3 per ton and
thus, at a low estimate $6640, 900 will
be added to the annual mineral output
of the state.
This, however, is only one of the
DellcntS Which, VIII De ueTlNeu
from the erection of zinc smelters.
They will make possible the opening
up IF numerous low grade mines in diff
ferent parts of the state which were
necessarily abandoned when the price
of silver was so materially decreased.
They will cause the erection of scores
of concentrating plants and give en-
ployment to hundreds of wOrkmen,
thus adding millions of dollars to the
wealth Of Colorado. The promotion of
the new industry will be one of the
most important factors in Colorados
development made during decade.
Heretofore in the treatment of ores
In the Colorado smelters zinc has been
regarded as useless, and even OBJ
tectionable component. 1t has been
entirely lost In the smelling processes
and has not been reckoned upon as n
valuable asset, only the gold, silver and

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER Is
~ MAZE

The Health Department Of New
York has seized quantity Of called
cheap baking powder, which 1t found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which 1t was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be "an alum powder"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
''cheap" articles Of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream Of tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

proportions
a.. ii. Grubb of Carbondale, a stock
man, was in the city yesterday, bound
east after his late importation of cat
tie, which have been in quarantine in
New Jersey since their arrival in Feb
ruary. During his trip abroad last
winter he made a special study of the
methods of feeding cattle in vogue in
England and Europe. He returned
with some of the best English cattle
and n supply of seeds of roots used for
fattening purposes in England.
He said: 1T has long been my firm
belief that we can make better beef
for less money in Colorado than any.
where else in the world, and my trip
abroad convinced me that l am right.
We have every advantage over Eng
land. We have cheap forage. can raise
the finest roots in the world. and all
the grains grown in England. Give
us their choice. high-bred, small-boned
cattle and, with little experience, we
can turn out better beef than the ia.
nous prime Scots of England. We
can raise the finest pork in the world
and more cheaply than in any other
part of the country. We already have
n reputation for mutton that brings the
top prices in the eastern markets.
Colorado hay has higher feeding
value than the hay raised anywhere
in the East. Alfalfa excels the cele-
brated red clover of Iowa. and Colora-
do red clover beats both. Professor
Curtiss. the director of the Iowa Ex.
pertinent Station. volunteered to test
the matter. and the result was that the
Colorado red clover beae the Iowa clio.
yer, and so did the Colorado alfalfa,
but the Colorado clover was remarka-
bic for its fat and meat and bone-p pro-
ducing qualities"
Gilpin observer., 1902-05-08

Sents made in mining machinery by
Colorado men have resulted in greatly
improved methods of concentration, un-
til now the required percentage for
treatment can easily be obtained.
Zinc ores when taken by the smelt-
ers for treatment are first subjected to
heat so intense that the zinc be-
comes a gas-is volatlZed. This gas Is
conveyed through tubes to a chamber
in which vacuum has been created.
The chamber Is then tapped and the
pure metallic zinc flows out. Great
care is required in the process, as the
admission of air into the chamber
would utterly destroy all values.
Tine process Is very expensive but
also profitable. Colorado Is particu-
larly well suited to the industry, owing
to the fact that fuel in this state is
both cheap and plentiful. There are
great quantities of zinc ores to be
found in the state, chiefly in Creede.
Leadville, Aspen and in the San Juan
country. By the new process all the
metals in the ores are saved. gold, sill
yer or lead as well as the zinc.
About 100000 tons of zinc are an
nually used in the United States, all Of
which comes from the zinc mines.
There is one large zinc smelling plant
in La Sale. Illinois, which obtains it's
products chiefly from the zinc mines in
Missouri, Kansas and Illinois, This
plant does not treat zinc as n by-prO-
duct in connection with the other met
ais, but deals only with the pure zinc
ores. A large part of the supply comes
from abroad, one of the largest con-
Germs being in Silesia. Germany. The
greater part of the Colorado ores go to
Belgium. which also contributes a
large share of the zinc used in this
country.
The advent of the new industry will
be hailed with delight by hundreds of
mining men, as it will enable them to
turn hitherto Improbable properties in
to paying mines and thus build up GER
tain sections of the state which suffer
ed severely because of the slump in
silver.

ment of the Denver & Rio Grande rail
road is drawing plans for the enlarge
ment of its shops at Salida. The i'm
provements contemplated will raise the
town in Importance both from COM
mercial and railroad point of view,
as Salida will be made the headquar-
ters for the repair of all the narrow
gauge equipment of the road. New
shops are to be built giving employ
ment to from seventy-five to one hun
dred more men than are at present en-
ployed.
Superintendent of Machinery Henry
Schlacks has returned from a trip to
salida where he examined sites for the
new buildings. No announcement as
to the definite size or number of the
buildings to be erected has been made
but officers of the road say that they
will be sufficient in capacity not only
to repair the narrow gauge rolling
stock which heretofore has been hand
led at Burnham, but to build cars and
portions of locomotives.
The making of Salida the narrow
gauge headquarters of the system fol-
lows the taking up of the third rail of
the road between Denver and Pueblo.
The next move to bring the main line
to standard gauge will be to remove
the third rail between Pueblo and Sa-
Ida. This will be done as soon as the
800 new freight cars now building in
eastern shops are completed.
