is the strongest team Columbian has
met. but the locals played their best
game Of the season. as is evidenced by

Burkett started of 10 do the twirling

the beginning. He lasted for four in

FANS CAN SIZE UP CASSIDY

The Washington team has returned
from Boston, where it dropped three
games to the champions, and will this
afternoon meet the much-touted New
York Americans, at the Seventh Street
grounds.
Along with the arrival of the Senators
comes the announcement that several
new faces will be seen in the Senatorial
camp in a short while.
Washington graces the cellar of the
American League apartment house. but
the trio of good games put up at Bos-
ton has put new life into the fans, and
a large crowd Will undoubtedly take adj
vantage OF the pleasant weather 10 take
in the game this afternoon. The field
ing of the locals against the worlds
champions could not have been much
better. and If they add TO their achieve
ment and WELD their willows with eff
feet today. may give Clarke Grifith's
pennant chasers a tough argument.
May Size Up Cassidy.
The series with Boston served more
than anything else to bring little Cas-
sidy more prominently before the base
ball public. Boston papers tout him as
the real thing. and today's game will
give the fans their first opportunity TO
see him in action in big league COM
pany. He will play third base, in the
absence of Bill Coughlin. who is grief
stricken over the death OF his wife.
The latter has received messages of
coincidence from nearly every player on
the team. II Is doubtful If the Scran-
ton lad Will be seen in Uniform for sew
eral weeks. and Cassidy IS coming IN
handy as q utility man. If ne plays as
good ball here as he is said TO have
done in Boston he may even get a reg
ular place in the Senatorial inheld.
The Invader come here fresh from a
defeat at the hands of Connie Mack's

Strike in the Monument.

The Denver News correspondent at
Cripple Creek, under date of Decem-
ber Sth. says: 1t has just leaked out
this evening that one of the richest
strikes ever made in the history of
this district has been made in the 45O-
foot level of the Monument mine, on
Battle mountain. Ore carrying as high
as 1900 ounces of gold to the ton has
been opened and is being broken and
sacked
This rich ore, which is worth SIS a
pound, is being broken between four
and six inches in width, and is being
saved at such rate that 1t will not
take long to make Harry Pring. the
lessee, independently wealthy. The
ore shoot itself is little better than
two feet across. and so rich is the core
that the screenings will go in the
neighborhood of fifteen ounces of gold
to the ton.
The ore is found in the granite, and
the sylvanite is SO thick in 1t that in
places hardly any rock can be seen.
Lessee Pring. when seen this evening,
refused to discuss the matter at all.
and referred everyone to the secretary
of the Monument company. The ore
as it comes out of the mine is so rich
that only Uncle Sans stamp Is needed
to make of it circulating medium.

Iron Production.

One of the most important and inter
esting of the statistical papers pub
lished annually by the United States
Geological Survey is review of the
American iron trade. The report for
1903, like those of many preceding
years, was prepared by Mr.. James NJ.
Swank. general manager OF the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association.
Mr.. Swank's tables of statistics show
that the worlds production of iron ore
during 1903 amounted to 100, 100000
tons, OF which the United States
claims 35, .30S tons. The worlds pro-
duction of coal and Ignite amounted
to 70,49S,000 tons. of which 319,06S,-
229 tons belonged to the United States.
The worlds production OF pig iron in
1903 amounted to 46.420.000 tons. to
which the United States contributed
1S.009,252 tons. The worlds produc-
tion of steel during the same year
amounted to 35.510.000 tons. OF which
the United States produced 14,534.97Ss
It is thus seen that in the production
of iron ore. coal, pig iron and steel
all great factors in the worlds mate
rial progress-our country Is the lead
er. We produce 34.71 per cent. Of the
worlds iron ore. 36.65 per cent. OF its
coal. $3.50 per cent. of its pig iron. and
40.93 per cent. of its steel.

Tungsten in Boulder County.

The Black Swan mill, in the Gold
Hill district, is now running contin-
uously upon tungsten ore. The old
Boyd mill of the Progressive company
in Boulder has been running night and
The Cochran mill, in the Sugarloaf dis
trict, is being converted into a con-
centrating mill. and old machinery be-
ing torn out and concentrating tables
for the exclusive treatment of tungsten
ore being substituted.
Altogether twelve mills are said to
be operating exclusively on tungsten
ore in Boulder county. In Nederland
district over 200 miners are employed
in getting out tungsten, and about
three carloads of tungsten concen-
trates are being shipped out of Boul-
der weekly. This product will be dou-
bled about the first of the year, and
the industry promises to become sec
ond only to the production Of gold in
the hills of Boulder county
The industry has been concealed
from the general public in the past
for fear that the business might be
overdone. All this dissipated in the
face of assured markets by reason of
the enlarged uses of tungsten in all
kinds Of steel manufacture as we'll as
in armor plate on the great battleships
that are being built. More tungsten is
now being produced in Boulder county
than in any single state in the I'm
ion, and it cuts large figure in the
aggregate of the world.-Denver News.

New Mexico Pioneer Dead.

Albuquerque. N. NJ. Dec. 13.-Wil-
liam Crane of Bacon Springs, McKin-
ley county, died Sunday night OF old
age. The deceased was one of the pi.
oneers OF the Southwest and owned
and operated ranch near where he
died for over forty years. He was over
ninety years OF age and followed Kit
Carson and other famous Indian fight
ers in many of the important battles
with the Indians by frontier settlers.
When the Atlantic and Pacific was
building westward in 1880 and 1881.
Crane was a familiar figure along the
line from Laguna to Gallup. and made
a record by assisting the authorities to
run down the bunco steerers, conf
dence men and other hold-ups and des-
peradoes who followed the new rail-
road and preyed upon the unsuspect-
ing. His life was full Of exciting
events. Many throughout central and

Neville were injured, in q wreck and
an accident which followed the wreck,
one mile west of Fremont Pass on the
Blue River branch of the Denver & Rio
Grande road yesterday.
The regular train over the Blue
River branch, comprising one passen-
ger coach, baggage and freight cars
and an engine. left here this morning
at $3.50 o'clock. One mile west Of Ere
mont Pass the train struck a broken

Revivina Monarch District.

The recent strike in the old Madon-
ma mine in the Monarch district has
stimulated general activity throughout
this once famous camp. says the Salida
correspondent of the Denver News.
The history of Monarch district
reads like a fairy tale of Arabian
Nights. Once the greatest silver pro-
ducing camp in the state. supporting
5000 people and shipping twenty car
loads of ore per day from the Madonna
alone, it has for the past decade re-
mained inactive-a camp OF abandoned
shafts and deserted cabins. This rapid
decline was due to the silver slump OF
1898, which destroyed the prosperity
of Aspen and Creede and plunged the
West into the greatest panic of mod
ern times.
The improved methods of ore treat
ment. however. cheap transportation
and smelling facilities, promise to re-
claim this once prosperous camp and
restore its oldtime prosperity. The
old Columbus, which operated a mill
and produced several millions for the
Rockefellers. is retimbering its lower
tunnel and a contract for 100 feet more
of development has been let. This
property is located near the crest OF
the Continental divide and its ores
were transported from the mine to the
mill over an elevated gravity tram. 1t

silver was destroyed as standard OF
value. Nothing now remains but the
old foundation of the mill and few
pieces of rust-eaten machinery.

year and has shipped big tonnage.
A ninefoot body of silver lead carbon

ings and the property will require

Hundreds of police and mounted

serious encounters, fifty persons being
more or less severely injured. Large

Not since the riots of 1901, when Co.'S

The value Of these packages Of mer.

patron or merchant cannot afford to
pay 16 cents for the delivery Of .
