NEW REDUCTION PROCESS.
Denver Man said TO Have Discovered One Bel.
ter Than Smelling.

@ Mining men are greatly interested in ru-
mors which are current in this city, says
the Denver News, to the effect that a
Denver man has perfected a wet mineral
extraction pqrocss by which all the prin-
cipal minerals are extracted from ore
without the use Of fire The process, ac-
cording to hints that are current, was the
result of experiments started for the pur-
pose of cheapening gold extraction In
the course of the Investigations the exper-
imenter discovered a method of overcom-
ing the sulphur in ores without resorting
to the furnace. The cost of the process is
said to be quite moderate, and minerals
lare extracted in the following order: Cop
per. gold silver, and lead. The lead comes
down in the liquid as a white powder, but
is rapidly converted into common lead.
The process, If the claims of mining
smen are right, may prove the downfall OF
ne smelling trust, as 1t does away with
the necessity of large plants and expen-
sive furnaces. Any mine owner with mod
crate capital can erect a teaching plant
If he has the privilege of the process, and
work out his own salvation, regardless of
the trust The obdurate sulphide ores are
said to yield quickly to the treatment and
q course of six months in experiments has
demonstrated that the process is one of
the most remarkable discoveries ever
made by any mining man.
syndicate of Eastern capitalists is
IN the city investigating the process for
the purpose Of securing rights in the
Emitted States. The feature of the new
process that strikes mining men favorably
fs the fact that the mines will no longer
be subject to the trust If this process does
what is claimed for II. The mine owner
turns out metal at his own plant so pure
that II is not necessary to send 1t to the
furnace, as II is deposited chemically.

Desperate Reported Located Ia Washington

Tracey was this afternoon found in
farmhouse one and a half miles east of
Benton. The news was brought by
Charles Jerry. who lives at the place in

Tracey and Anderson came to Jerry $
house shortly after noon and gave him
two of the watches which they had pre-
&nously taken from others and told him
10 so and dispose of them.
Instead of doing this, Jerry went at
once to Benton and teiephoned the news
to the Sheriff's office. Posses were at
once organized in the vicinity and it is
thought that Tracey is again fairly sur

A Mans View of Why so

dom, indeed, acquiring competence.
Ihose who succeed in amassing enough
10 retire from active employment are
generally the energetic women who have
adopted educational careers, and have
achieved prominence as the heads OF
large boarding schools. This seems
really to pay, but in trade what are
known as society women rarely succeed,
At best it is continual struggle, and
we have yet to hear of the fortunate fair
merchant, dressmaker or milliner, who
mas retired with a fortune. Next to
schooikeeping, agricultural pursuits on
an adequate scale seem to offer the
pest opportunity of acquiring a .cOmpe-
tence, and there has been a number Of
instances, in California especially, where
women have succeeded with their
ranches, and there seems no reason why
even in the circumscribed East they
should not cater successfully for the
market.
Why is it, it is asked, that there is 50
little real financial prosperity among
women; why should the requirement OF
bare sustenance be considered for them
a success? That they have brains in
plenty everyone admits, and for gener.
alton, at least, every opportunity has
Deen gwen them to enter the arena OF
competition. Why is it. then, that there
have been no radical results? The fault.
1t must be acknowledged, lies with the
women themselves. They work half
heartedly, because they must, and fail

are apt to try too many things. They
do not keep in a groove like II man, who

nor the daring to make successful mer-

and are too economical to scatter for

What they can do in the professions
is yet to be proved, certainly so far no
star has arisen. In short, we hear

Is the Baby Comfortable?

With the introduction Of the safety pin,
much of baby's discomfort is avoided. but
even that faithful sentinel of bands and
diapers has been known to come unfast-
ened and torture the dear little limb;
with pricks and scratches.
There is such long list of tiny things
to worry that | hardly know where TO
begin. a tiny crumb or bit of hard lint
under the band has caused many fret
full cry; diaper too tight or put on care
leSsly, especially when baby sits up; the
same might also apply to stockings
Too much starch in the neck ruffle or
Il neck band too tight
Leaving the child where the heat from
a register blows on it, or standing the
crib too near steam pipes.
4 young baby left in one position too
long. or picked up, in the case of timid
child, too quickly, will often cause n
paroxysm of crying.
A close, hot room has been the bane
of many a frail infant. 1t is wonderful
how child lights up after room has
been thoroughly aired.
Babies are only big folks in little, and
so love change. Taking child into an
other room, giving it only one of his
playthings, instead of littering I'D his
tray with all of them-of which he reso-
lutely shows his disappr0val by dropping
them one by one on the tloor-will often
divert and quiet a fretful baby.
Never put a child into a cold bed; a
warmed fiannelette blanket and pillow on
cold nights should always be placed over
the fresh. cold sheet.
Keeping a child even of older growth
in the common sitting room after the
light is lit, while the assembled family
are having a lovely time with the gay
baby, leads to many restless, fretful
nights
Put yourselves in his place." is a
good motto for the mother in looking
out for baby's physical well-being. She
should so train her fingers that by pass
ing them swiftly under and through the
clothes, or round the neck, she can de-
tect any source of discomfort
Many of the old superstitions are an
afiiiction TO babyhood. By all means
keep baby's nails trimmed; it is not
pleasant for grown-up folks to be
scratched by the tiny pins. how much
more distressing for the little one.-Har-
riet Lusk Childs, in Motherhood.
