We learn that the noso of Socrates
was not Greek, but such as Greek art
lists usually assigned to satyrs. Occa-
slonally, as In beautiful group of n
satyr playing dice with nymph on n
bronze mirror they gave satyrs anoth-
or kind Of nose. The noses of the la
dies in the 1anagra terra Gotta are OF
all agreeable orders of nose, not neces-
sarily Greek The chances are that the
Greeks varied as much as We do in
their noses, while the tradition of their
art preferred the conventional straight
nose. In the same way the kind of Ro-
mans who had their portraits done on
coins and gems were just the sort of
energetic, conquering people who have
Roman noses everywhere, like William
of Orange and the Duke Of Wellington

Manager { 5. Desch Of the Corr City
group Of Silver Plume was among the
Idaho Springs visitors last Monday. In
speaking OF his recent large shipments of
dump rock to Idaho Springs mills, lie
stated that while. for various reasons. the
experiment had not been very profitable
financially, still II had been beneficial in
many was the principal Of which was
the knowlrdge that there was value in
the rock aud that a sufficient percentage
Of it could be saved. Mr.. Desch is now
interested in studying the milling method
lest adapted to his ore. and he will prob
ably in the near future send down an
other consignmeni-ssy 500 tons, or
about 50 cars-for another aud exhaust
i've test. He hopes that the c. & 5
people will extend the so-cent rate con-
cessiou to Silver Plume. In fact. his
future shipments to our mills will depend
largely upon the transportation charge.
As the assay value per ton OF the past
consignments was claimed TO be about s.
per ton and the saving. say. 10 per cent,
il can easily be seen that every adii-
tional item OF expense 10 the milling
charges, handling. etc, reduces The very
small margin OF profit. II may be tina,
at some period in the future Mr.. Desch
will construct a mill at the Plume to
treat the Cory City dumps and material
coming out OF the mine. Much depends
upon the results Of the experiments now
under way.
In any event, two important matters
are evident: One is that the operators
Of upper Clear Greek now realize the re
lation Of concentration to Che mining
industry the other is that the concession
by the {. x 5 OF So-ccut rate from the
Plume TO this city would be of benefit to
both places, as we'll as the railroad.

Triumph, Of Modsrn Milling.

The possibilities OF the mining industry
are somewhat staggering to those old
time Clear Greek miners who for years
were compelled 10 throw everything less
than sroo ore over the dump. Aud all
these have been wrought by the ex-
pefimenis and discoveries OF the mill
men.
Wonderful changes have taken place
IN this county in the past few years. and
II IS to the credit OF John c. Roberts
and George ). Wilke that they were not
only among the FIRST Of the pioneer mill
men to adopt the concentration method,
but they have kept pace with every i'm
proyement since. They have been sue
cessiul and have led others 10 embark in
like enterprises, the result being that the
industry IS very important one to the
life OF this city, and is spreading all over
the county.
1t is noticeable that with the building
OF mills and pertecting OF processes. there
has been proportionste growth in the
mining industry. This is natural Sc
quence and easily understood. The only
problem is. what aud where is the limi, to
the trininps of human endeavor and ex-
periments.
While much has been accomplished by
local mill men in the way OF saving the
values in the diversified ores of the dis
trict. there is still much to do. There
are operations under way that promise 10
equal the achievements of the Homestake
company, which is paying large divi-
dends from ore that averages as low as
sS.5s3 per ton. The cyanide experiments
of Tanner & McNeill have, it is claimed,
been very satisfactory, and the big mill
to be erected a, the Newhouse dump will
comprise the very latest discoveries in
ore saving.
