ANNUAL MEETING OF sun AND MOON

oPMENT IN NEWHouSE.

Notwithstanding the bad weather of
the past month. and the consequent poor
condition of the wagon roads, the ore
shipments from the Idaho Springs depot
during the month of April, were ass car
loads of ore and concentrates, or consid-
ersbly over 5000 tons. By comparison
with the same month of the previous
wear, the present month shows gain of
81 carloads, or over 40 per cent. The
shipments for January. February and
March were respectively 26I, 7I4 and 2s5
cars, making the total tonnage for the
first four months of this year something
over ao.52o tons. The average minimum
contents OF each carload is twenty tons.
and great many OF the cars contain as
high as twenty six or twenty seven tons,
especially when loaded with concentrates,
and it is probable that the Tonnage will
figure much higher than estimated. The
shipments during the same period of
1904 was 81, cars. as against 1916 cars
for this year. gain of over 81 per cent
over that of last year.
