en- him from the workhouse to the
House of Commons, is one of the best
known labor men in the metropolis,
says the st. James Gazette. He is
not ashamed of the fact that he was
once a workhouse boy. MY father

he says, leaving my mother with sew
en- of us to provide for. By dint of
hard work and some parochial relief
she managed to keep things going un-

my three sisters, two of the family

that he was "everlastingly hungry" in
his unwelcome home, which he was
soon able to leave by obtaining en-
ployment with a blacksmith. He has
since presided over the same board
of guardians which looked after him
in the workhouse, and has been mayor

Leadville advices state that the ton
mage figures being closed up by the
mines and smelters for March, will
show one of the heaviest producing
months that Leadville has shown for
long time. The total will be over 49,
OOO tons of all classes of ore, of which
amount over 10000 tons were handled
by the smelters, the rest being an out
side production, including zinc and
manganese and other products. The
zinc tonnage is almost 1000 tons.
which is quite an increase. The heavy
production was largely due to the in
creased production of iron, which has
been in great demand by the smelters.
The stiffening of the price of lead early
in the month also added to the output.
The production at present is about q
500 tons day.
The number of feet machine can
cut in competent hands in a shift OF
eight hours depends upon the charac-
ter of the rock. In medium hard rock
forty-five to sixty feet is a good shifts
work This may be more or less, ac-
cording to the condition of the ground
as to fractures, slips, etc. A badly fis
sured ground gives more trouble than
massive, homogeneous rock. The
pressure of air at the drill is also an
important factor. Not less than nine
ty pounds per square inch should be
employed on hard rock. The drills do
not last as long, but they do far more
work than at lower pressures. There
is much difference of opinion as to the
relative merit of machine drills and
hand drills in shaft singing. 1t is gem
orally conceded however, that machine
drills usually make better headway,
but at increased expense. By either
method a premium system of payment
accomplishes the most satisfactory re-

from here The w. H. Orr Company is
developing water in the canon, and
through pipes driven to find bedrock
came upon coarse gold. Placer gold
worth $22 was sifted from three buck
cts of gravel taken from the pipe, and
was brought from depth of probably
twenty-five feet below the surface.
pile dam is being put in by the
Orr company for damming the under

Waiting for Drainage Tunnel.

The Victor correspondent of the
Denver Republican says:
Few people know that when the
Elkton company quit pumping the
Portland company had much heavier
flow, but it is a fact. 1t was shown
by actual demonstration that this was
determined before the drainage tun-
mel that is being run into Beacon hill
to tap the Ell Paso shaft at 600 feet
from surface was begun. That is
why no effort is now being made to
dr the lower levels of the Gold
CoiIA
"V have plenty of ore to keep at
work on for many long months and
fpossibly years to come" said Manager
Ia. NJ. Woods to the Republican cor
respondent to-day. Pumping water
is expensive and we are waiting to
see wnat the drainage tunnel will do
aor us. At first | had no faith in this
bore, so lar as its being of any assist
ance to us, but am advised that the
How in the Elkton, Wen not handled,
acts at once on the Portland. and that
being the case, it is most likely that it
will affect the Gold Coin. We shall
hot attempt to see the bottom of our
ehaft again until this drainage tunnel
has been given a fair chance to show
lust what it can do. | will be frank
with you and say that | believe 1T is
going to do much more than we ever
dreamed it possible for such a tunnel
TO accomplish"

WHAT is BEING DONE
IN THE MINING WORLD
Wall Street COLONIZATION Plant.

AS much curiosity has been mani
tested with regard to the new ore
treatment plant at Wall Street. in
Boulder county. the Denver News
submits the following description, fur
nished from an inside source:
1T is an ectro-chlorination pro-
cess. The ore is crushed in twelve
mesh, roasted thoroughly in straight
line reverberating furnace of special
invention. 1t is then placed into large
teaching watts of 100 tons in the cyan
ide process. The solution is then ap-
piled. The solution consists of COM
mon salt with about one-eighth of l
per cent of bromine salt. This solu-
tion is electrolyzed by the electric cur
rent and charged with chlorine and
bromine compound. a strong solvent
for gold.
"rhe gold is precipitated from this
solution by the current. At this mill
they expect to treat 100 tons per day
at cost of S1.50 per ton and extract
80 per cent. of the values. The COM
pany treats ore at SIS per ton and pays
80 per cent of assay value. In case
you are interested in the process it
would be best for you to visit the mill.
You can leave Denver in the morning
and get back in the evening"

RARE COINS IN IOWA
PHYSICIANS FINE COLLECTION

The Widows Mite-coins From Syria
and Esypt-copper Coins From
Every Nation on the Face of the
Earth.
Probably the most successful coin
collector in Iowa is DR.. w. H. Vim
cent of this city, says the Red Oak
Express. Ever since he was boy
about ten years of age DR.. Vincent
has had his eyes open for rare coins
of all nations. and as consequence
to-day can show a collection of about
3S5 different coins representing every
nation on earth and many specimens
of money that are relics Of ancient
nations that thrived over 700 years
ago One of the most interesting bits
of money that he can show is a speci-
men of the oldest as well as the
smallest Syrian coin. and is undoubt
edly "the widows mite" spoken of in
the Bible. 1t is very thin, circular
piece of metal about one-quarter OF
an inch in diameter with color some
thing like zinc. On one side is the
very indistinct inscription: Let his
(the Sultan's) victory be exalted"
Among other ancient coins there are
six very small gold Egyptian pieces Of
money that were coined at Cairo in
the year 1928. The largest coin in the
collection is a boer dollar. 1t is of
silver and is about half as large again
as a silver dollar of our own United
States money. The smallest coin in
the collection is a tiny gold quarter
coined in San Francisco in 1872.
DR.. Vincent has eleven pieces of pa
per money that are worth considerable
more than their face value. One is
paper half dollar believed to be one
of the first, if not the very first one,
ever made in the United States. 1t
was issued by the United States gov
ernment during the first month of the
year 1870 and, according to IA recent
communication from the secretary Of
the treasury at Washington, there are
but two of these paper half dollars in
existence, and as this one is the only
enc yet heard from 1t is probable that
it is the only one that will ever be
found. 1t is valued at $1,000. DR..
Vincent can sell it for that amount,
but prefers to hold 1t for higher fig
ure and is quite certain that its value
will increase. A silver half dollar of
the year 1903 is also a very valuable
coin in the doctors collection. DR..
Vincent has representative pieces of
copper coin from every nation on the
globe and silver coins from almost
every country that has such u form
of money.

HOPE FOR THE BUFFALO.
American Bison Still Far From Being
Extinct.

That the American bison is not so
near extinction as has been generally
supposed has been learned by agents
of the national government, who made
thorough inquiry recently as to the
number of pure bloods in existence.
The result of the investigation showed
that there is still some hope of per-
petuating the species. says the New
York Sun. Careful inquiries brought
out the fact that there are just 1,646
full-blood bison in the world.
The inquiry was extended to Europe.
as it was known that some of our
"buffaloes" had been shipped across
the Atlantic. and it was learned that
there are ia of the animals divided
among seven countries of Europe.
Germany heads the list with 60 and
England comes next with "a. Russia
has three and there are two in Hun
gary. Norway tried to get some, but
succeeded in obtaining only one hy-
brid. There is a single American bison
in France and Holland has fourteen.

Progress of Japan Tunnel.

The Telluride correspondent of the
Denver Republican. under date of
April I'd, says:
In about two weeks the Japan
Mines Company will have completed
the cross-cut tunnel it started year
and half ago. The main workings
were flooded with water. and the
cross-cut was driven about 300 feet
lower. The tunnel is in about $500
feet and about eighty feet remains to
be done before the intersection is
made. Owing to the distance under
ground, the air is very bad. necessi-
tating the working of but one shift,
and the compressor is kept running
all night to clear the tunnel of smoke
by morning, so that the men may work
during the day. When the vein is
found, an upraise of 800 feet will be
made at once, to connect the tunnel
level with the upper workings.
The mineral in the Japan is very
rich. as it is a continuation on this
side of the range of the famous Camp
Bird vein system at Ouray, the vein
being commonly known as the Vir-
ginius vein. A force of twenty-five
men is driving the tunnel five feet
per day.
Ghe future of the Japan mine de-
pendS almost entirely on the character
and value of ere found at the intersec-
tion of the cross-cut with the vein. A
Boston corporation has had the mine
under bond and lease for 100000 and
should the mineral prove satisfactory,
the proposed sale which has been
pending for some time will be put
through. Recently the mine has been
carefully exported and favorable re-
ports rendered to the probable pur-
chasers.
Plans are being perfected for the
erection of large new mill at Pan
dora on a site just west of the Snug
gler-Union's old mill The small mill
near the mine in Savage basin will be
inadequate and it is the intention to
build "a tramway and have all the ore
taken down to the big new milling
plant and treated there, and the con-
centrates loaded on the cars for ship
ment at the mill.
The prospective mill and the large
force of men necessary to run it. as
well as the big increase of miners to
be employed underground will be of
great benefit to Telluride.

Miners May Become Operators.

Mining Reporter would like to sug-
kest, with earnest sincerity, that the
Western Federation OF Miners go into
business as operators on some CO.
operative plan. There are mines and
hills which can be leased and this or
kanization undoubtedly has men with
n it's ranks capable of successfully
directing such work. Let the fedora
lion give the world practical ex-
ample of it's ideas in the blending of
the interests of capital and labor. Let
+ assume the responsibility of paying
aor labor, material and skill, and
standing for the business result. The
result might be an object lesson OF
mutual benefit to capital and labor
TO make the laborer to some degree
