A Wonderful Difference.

The fact that necessity is the mother of
invention has been verified during the past
two wears. Ten years ago and even seven
years ago every miner was practically at
the mercy of the smelling trust. Today
the smelter proprietors are begging ore to
keep their furnaces employed and competi-
ton is close The fact that the new smelt-
ers can be equipped and operated by any of
the mining men who could have built mill
ten years ago and at the same time leaves
them where they can reduce their product
to bullion, makes it, indeed, difficult plod-
ding for the old companies. The talk that
a refinery would be conducted in connection
with the United States mint at Denver un-
der government control and supervision, is
denied and it is not improbable that the
new inventions will remove the cause for
the agitation in favor of such a course.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-12-20
Partially Satisfactory.

The test of the electric air auto from
the summit of James peak across Middle
park last Tuesday was in a sense satisfact-
ory. The ship and apparatus was taken on
two fiat cars up the Fall River Electric and
then transferred to the Zig-Zag Electric
running to the summit of the peak. From
the Middle park side, the mountain is al
most perpendicular, and offered a splendid
opportunity for the trial of the ariel mon
ster. When it started there was tenden-
cy to seek a lower air strata but the operat-
or succeeded in controlling it and the trip
to Hot Sulphur Springs was made at the
rate of thirty-eight TO forty miles per hour.
At the later point fully $500 people had
gathered to greet the big bird and the in
mates of the New England sanitarium were
more than gratifed, for it lignted almost
directly i'll front of the big building.

tains to the North of the city they encoun

historic city In the course of years it has
become covered with mine dumps and old
residents state that it is what was once Cen
trail City. When the Newhouse, Central
and Lucania tunnels were driven through
the city was abandoned. A package of pa
pers were unearthed representing, evident
iy, petition signed a decade ago. While
the writing was partly obliterated, it is be-
lived to be the petition for a railroad from
Alice and Yankee to Central City. Archie
