VIII Develop Claim.

j. II Wright and John Pennington
visited the mica claim of Uncle Tom
Pennington on Current Creek last
Saturday for the purpose of looking
over the property with view of its
development They were much pleased
with the result of their Investigations
and will work the claim extensively,
provided they can effect an arrange
ment with Messrs Cooney & Menk,
proprietors of the crushers on the ad-
joining property, to handle their pro-
duct.
Although the company of which
Messrs Cooney & Menk are the most
conspicuous representatives have n
group OF eighteen mica claims in the
vicinity of Currant Greek their aggre-
gate mineral wealth does not greatly,
il any, surpass that upon the claim Of
Mr.. Pennington, which is regarded as
the richest of its kind in Fremont
county.
Mica is found in bull quartz and is u
pretty difficult substance to mine by
reason of the hardness OF the mater,,i
with which it is associated, but its
commercial value, which is from
eighty to one hundred dollars ton
when ground, is such as to warrant its
being taken out, even in small quanti-
tbs
The company alluded to, which is
composed of Pennsylvania and Illinois
railroad men has had crushing mill
{ two tons capacity on Current Greek
for several years and have shipped a
large amount Of ground mica to the
Eastern states where it is used for u
great variety of purposes, particularly
a. lubricant, in electrical works and
in the ecorative arts.
TIE mica is ground to an almost
impalpable fineness, some three or four
grades of it being made, and is sacked
for shipment in much the same way as
-four or meal The company, which
employs eight or ten men in mining
and half dozen girles in its sorting
department, has considerable ground
mica on hand and will begin the ad-
ing of car mt this point next Monday
Al Baxter having taken the contract
for hauling it from the mill to this city.
Messrs Cooney & Menk, who were in
Canon City on business last Saturday
are expected here again to day for the
purpose of completing arrangements
for the enlargements Of their plant on
Currant Greek.

climate.

BY PRODUCTS OF BEET PULP.
Remarkable New Discovery of Great
Value Has Recently Been Made
Alcohol, Acid, Glue and Charcoal Net.
ting a profit Of So ton, Can be
Easily Extracted

Alcohol, Acid, Glue and Charcoal Net
ting a profit Of So a ton, Can BE-
Easily Extracted.
A new and remarkable discovery has
been made that will have very i'm
portant, almost revolutionizing, effect
on the beet sugar industry. From per
fectly reliable information to the Cour
ier-Herald it is learned that corpora
ton has been formed in New York
City, consisting of some of the largest
stockholders in beet sugar factories, fol
the purpose of manufacturing important
and valuable by-products from beet
pulp-the residue and refuse that now
practically goes entirely to waste after
the juice is extracted in sugar making.
Under newly discovered process by
New York chemist, the patents for
which are now being taken out in the
United States and all beet sugar max
ing foreign countries. tests have been
made which make it certain that four
by-products can be extracted cheaply
and easily from beet pulp, all four of
which are in commercial demand
These four products are as follows
First-Alcohol of a fine quality.
Second-An important acid, much in
demand for use in the arts and manu-
facturers.
Third-The finest quality of glue.
Fourth-From the residue an excel
lent grade of charcoal,
The demonstrations and tests show
that the by-products that can be. ex-
tracted by this process will net profit
of about 90 ton for each ton of beet
pulp consumed 1t is stated that these
figures are put very low, and that in
fact the profit promises to be consider
able more per ton. The large sugar
factories in Michigan each produce in
their campaigns about 900 tons of pulp
per day, which would mean about s., 900
additional profit per day for each fac
tory over present methods.
The plans of the company are not
made public. 1t is not known positive
ly whether large central by-product
plant will be erected, or small plants at
each sugar factory, but it is said that
the present plans contemplate the latter
project, as the most feasible and &C.
onomical. Further particulars of the
new process will doubtless be forthcom-
ing shortly.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1903-05-01

Recently an editorial appeared in the
Cleveland Press which attracted 80 much
attention that it was read aloud in
every school room in that city by order
of the beard of education and it is one
that might be read with good results in
every school room in Owosso.
1t was captioned where God has put
the Song Birds" and was as follows:
The song birds of Ohio are to stay
where God has put them, in the woods
and fields. He who notes even sparrow
in its fall has not forgotten the little
troubadours of the sunny skies. He
has raised up an agency for their de-
tense in their virgin sweetness both
their native liberty. There is at least
one statutory law in which the hand of
God is visible. And it is being right
eously enforced. No longer-in north
ern Ohio, at least-will the hedges and
trees and skies be robbed of their rich
est treasures to adorn human vanity.
1t is battling psychological question
why woman wants bird on her hat
It is a confession, carried aloft Ikea
banner, that she needs unnatural aids
to make her beautiful. For the birds
adorn the woman-no woman adorns a
bird. To refined minds the woman is
prettier without the bird. The bird in
the womans hat is a mark of murder
the most cruel and useless that the mind
can conceive. And it is mark of even
more than that. 1t is constant re-
minder that the vanity of woman can
ruthlessly throttle the sweetest music
that ever kissed the soul, enslave the
most perfect type of freedom, mar the
purest thing of beauty in the world,
and then place the evidence of her
heartless crimes above her. brow and
ask us to look and think her more beau
tiful.
Is it, then, to be wondered at that
humanity has sickened of it, and has
said through the laws and game war
dens, that the song birds shall stay
where God put them in the fields and
woods2
There in their native element the
song birds are mans first and hottest
inspiration. They taught him his first
note in music, and gave him his first
dream of liberty. They are the great
est optimists in the world, teaching al
ways cheer and hope. They croak no
melancholy dirges, but sing only the
songs of love and joy and praise. They
bring into the heart of man naught but
brightness and take from it naught but
gloom.
Near to natures heart, where men
and women have souls, the song bird
suggests all that is best in life or to be
longed for in eternity. They whisper
to the child his first message from the
infinite, and carol to old age of glories
beyond the vale. From dawn to night,
from birth to death, they flood our days
and lives with melody and cheer with |
And let them stay where God put |
them-in the fields and woods and in |
human soulsl
