Butchers are the worlds best weight
guessers. The butchers difficult trade
gives him skill in weight guessing
that is almost Incredible. It Is COM
monplace thing in meat shop to see a
butcher seize hold of 4 huge red round
of beef and slash off with great knife
four pounds just, or two and a half
pounds just, or six pounds just, ac-
cording 10 the order. The buyer of
meat wants to get the weight he asked
for, no more and no less, and he wants
this weight in one piece, not In one big
piece and two or three little ones. To
satisfy the buyer the butcher has been
compelled to acquire extraordinary
skill in Judging just how much GER

be substantial slices of whole meal

Cripple Creek Drainage.

The incorporation of a company
with a capitalization of $1,00O,0OO to
construct a great tunnel to drain the
Cripple Creek district may be conSid-
cred the formal Inauguration of a pro-
ject which has long been under con-
sideration, but the perfection of which
has for one reason or another been de-
layed.
Drainage at a great depth is essen
tial to the future prosperity of the dis
trict for deep shafts now extend be-
low the water level, and pumping is so
great an expense that comparatively
few properties can afford to bear 1t.
But the completion of the contemplated
tunnel will draw the water off and thus
make practicable the development of
numerous properties far below the
present level.
AS soon as work is begun. faith in
the future of the district will be so
stimulated and strengthened that re-
newed activity will be seen on every
hand. 1tis not that men need anything
of the kind to bolster up their faith in
the mineral deposits, but that they
should see before them bright pros
pect that the mines will be worked
to great depth and that production OF
ore upon an extensive scale will be
continued for many years. This is what
Cripple Creek district needs, and
there is every reason to believe that
the hoped-for impulse will be given in
the near future.
A great awakening in Cripple Creek
would be of vast benefit to the mining
interests of the entire state. 1t would
withdraw attention from districts be-
yond the limits of Colorado to which
too many men in this state have
turned. 1t would bring them back to
appreciate the greatness of Colorado's
mineral wealth and to recognize the
iInumerable opportunities for success
full mining which exist here.-Denver

Growing Coal Production.

In time Colorado will become one of
the greatest coal producing states in
the Union, if not the greatest. There
are immense coal deposits in different
parts of the state, and the production
for 1906 will be about 100000 tons.
This prediction is made by State Coal
Mine Inspector J. d. Jones in his semi-
annual report which he has submitted
to Governor Mcdonald. During the
first six months of the present year the
total production, according to the in
spector's figures, was 5,042, ,S14 tons, an
increase of 990,S31 tons over the pro-
duction during the same period in 1905.
Las Animas county shows the largest
increase. In that county 2,54O,O95
tons were mined in the first six months
of 1906. that being 471,992 tons more
than in the same period in 1905.
The state coal mine inspector reports
that there have been no strikes and
that the mines are now in prosperous
condition.

Exploration Company.

The Mines Exploration Company haa
been incorporated at Colorado Springs
by Charles NJ MacNeill, Spencer Per-
rose, C. c. Hamlin, X. E. Babbitt, all of
Colorado Springs, and d. c. Jacklings
of Texas. The principal offices will
be in the Springs and the articles of
incorporation provide that the capital
ization may be increased to any
amount and that the company may
form subsidiary companies to handle
the properties purchased. According
to one of the directors the company is
organized to examine the many min
ing propositions which are brought
from time to time to the attention of
the individual members of the COM
pany, and if satisfactory, to purchase
same.
Messrs. MacNeil and Penrose are
two of three controlling owners of the
United States Reduction and Refining
company, and with Hamlin and Bah.
bitt, comprise part of syndicate
which recently purchased the Cripple
Creek Central railroad. Mr.. Jaclzling
has for years been superintendent of
the reduction company's plants IN va

Do EnqIishmen Dislike us2

AS to the English, however, the
facts would seem to show that they
have more liking for Americans than
dislike of them. Or, in other words,
more English are friendly to Ameri-
cans than otherwise. During the
civil war enough of them were friend
ly to prevent their government from
interfering in that contest and from
breaking our blockade. During the
Spanish war, while the benevolent at
titude of Lord Salisbury was undoubt-
edly a matter of wise policy, the cor.
dial approval which 1t received from
the British people as whole was sig
nificant of much. Since that time
nothing has occurred to change this
feeling. Many Englishmen, says The
Bookman, no doubt. detest us. But in
a general way, Americanism has be-
come something of passport to
British liking. Our cousins may be a
little jealous of our astonishing pros.

Durability of leprosy.

Unna, of Hamburg, like many 9TH
er conspicuous dermatologists, is of
the opinion that there is possibility
of curing leprosy. In his report read
before the International Medical con-
gress at Lisbon he states that he has
been successful in attacking cutane-
GUS leprosy, not macular or anaes-
ence, gained from treating 60 lepers
during a period of % years. His suf-
ferers were private patients, more or
less well. to do, all leading a useful
life and wishing most emphatically to
be cured so that they could again
take up their several occupations.
This fact is important, Unna thinks,
in contrast to what is observed in the
patients of leper hospitals, for ex-
ample, in Norway, who are very poor
people, coming from the worst sur
roundings, Stunned by their neigh
bors and finding in the hospital an
asylum with all possible comforts
cleanliness, sympathy and freedom
from the cares of poverty and the
daily fight against hardships. Ex-
ternally, Unna advises hot baths of
natural waters containing sulphur
and sodium or potassium, but espe.
cially his so-called ink bath (Dinten-
bad), containing ferrous sulphate
and tannic acid; the washing with
carbolic acid or green soap; mas
sage and pressure upon the skin; the
use of pyrogallol and resocin. chrys.
arobin and ichthyol, and later the
use of Paquelins cautery. Internal
1y. the author uses ichthyol, cam
phor. sallicylic acid and chaulmugra

news FROM The MINES and MILLS
Drainage Company Incorporated.


The driving deep drainage canal
in the Cripple Creek mining district
is soon to be commenced. The COM
pany which will do the work incorpor-
ated in the office of the secretary of
state at Denver August 10th, under the
name of the Cripple Creek Drainage &
Tunnel Company. The incorporators
are Frank G. Peck, Sherwood Aldrich
and w. j. Chinn. The directors for
the first year are the three men men

Some of the largest mines of the dis
trict are represented by these men. A
large number of mine owners have
agreed to support the project. The
capital stock is s1,OOO,OOO and the
principal office is in Colorado Springs.
The purposes for which the COM
pany is organized are as follows:
ITO drive, construct, eXcavate and
to erect, install, own, acquire, lease,
mortgage and maintain for any and all
beneficial purposes, tunnels, shafts,
fumes, pipe lines, drifts, crosscuts.
conduits, pumps and any and all other
artificial means or appliances now

prices or compensations for the drain
age of mines, mining claims or other
real estate situate in said district, as
may from time to time be agreed upon
between said tunnel company and the
owner or owners of any mines, mining
claims or other property drained by
it."
1t is also the plan of the company to
engage in the business of Transporting
to and from the mines anything used
in the development of the mines; to
supply air to mining premises for a
compensation to be agreed upon; to ac-

Activity at LeadvilIe.

Eighty thousand tons of ore were
hoisted and shipped from this district
last month, says Leadville dispatch
August's shipments from present out
look will aggregate 10000 tons, ton
mage almost equal to the combined
tonnage of all the metalliferous mining
districts Of the state.
The Midas Mining Company, operat-
ing great acreage in the downtown
district, is at present shipping of oxi-
died ores a trainload day. Their ter
ritory extends by continuous connec-
lions from Second to Tenth streets,
under the city, in the upper levels, and
from Fourth to Tenth on the 9OO-foot
level, down in the Cambrian quartzite
or second contact. An immense pump
ing plant, capable of handling 5000
gallons of water a minute, is daily dis.
charging the flow of 1,7OO gallons a
minute.
Old Carbonate hill is booming The
Little Nell is running in high grade ore.
The Excelsior, Big Chief and Castle
view ore running into many thousands
of tons monthly.
In the Tennessee district, which re-
Gently has been receiving so much at
tention, and which, as development
progresses, shows improvements ev-
erywhere. George Brooks, who is driv-
ing tunnel above the railroad track,
near Chalk ranch, has uncovered a
vein of nearly IS inches of pay ore.
This region has attracted attention for
several years, because of the rich float
found throughout it, and the phenome-
nal coarseness of the placer gold
yielded by the gulches. 1t seems al
most certain that string of gold
mine will eventually be uncovered
here.
A new road is being built upon the
ground recently purchased by Thomas
F. Walsh of Denver, Goodwin and Ben
son, above the mammoth shaft, in Big
Evans gluch. The road makes to Iowa
gulch at Evansville, and also near tho
Pawnolas, and indicates that the big
shaft which these people contemplate
sinking on the Roy claims recently
purchased by them, will be sunk near
the crest of the hill.

Profits in Mining.

According to some recent mining sta
tlstics thirty companies which are op-
Grating In the metalliferous field Of
the United States declared dividends
amounting to nearly ten and a half mil
lion dollars in July. This brings the
grand total of these companies up to
nearly twenty-nine million dollars for
the year. 1t should be remembered,
however, that these dividends do not
represent all the profits in the mining
of gold. silver, copper, lead and zinc.
There are hundreds of concerns which
do not make public their profits, they
being close corporations.
One of the really important features
in connection with the mining indus
try and its substantial character is the
fact that the metals are all steadily
advancing. Speiter. copper and lead
are now coming into more general use
than ever before. The old world sup
plies are gradually playing out, and
II Is necessary to look to this country
for the future.
Copper, in particular, shows a very
strong tendency, which Is evidenced by
the demand for shares in gold compa-
MES. Lead is higher than 1t has been
In many years. and the advance is per-
manent, and due to the inherent mar
ket strength.
The stability Of the metals market
we regard as one Of the most signif-
cant signs of prosperity for the min.
ing industry. II is safe foundation on
which to build.-Leadville Herald Dem

Denaturized Alcohol.

Many inquiries show at the same
time interest in and ignorance of de-
natured alcohol. In a word, dena-
tured alcohol is alcohol, so changed
by the addition of some other sub
stance as to prevent its use as bev-
erage. Commissioner Yerkes is in
Europe investigating methods there.
The commissioner, under the law,
must see that sufficient wood alcohol
is added. Twenty per cent. was men
toned in congress as the proper guam
tity, but in Germany ten per cent. is
considered sufficient. In Great Brit
ain five per cent of wood alcohol and
still smaller proportion of naptha
are used. DR.. Wiley recommends ten
per cent. of wood alcohol and one per
cent. of pyridine. The tax on alcohol
is now $1.10 a gallon. This makes its
use for mechanical purposes impossi-
Die. But free from tax and denatur-
lied it is thought that alcohol can be
made for less than ten cents a gal
Ion, and could be sold at profit for
few cents more than that. In that
event its use in place of gasoline and
Kerosene as a power producer and
for light will undoubtedly be very
great, as in Germany. 1t will be a
boon, says the Indianapolis News,
especially to the farmer and small
mechanic for small power engines.
With a mantle, it's use for light is
economical. Alcohol can be distilled
from any number of things, as po-
tatoes, beets, corn-the stalks as we'll
as the grain-the waste of molasses
factories, etc. The agricultural de-
partment thinks that potatoes will
be a chief source of our supply. A
yield of 300 bushels of potatoes to the
acre will produce 255 gallons Of al
cohol. In Europe, kind of potatoes
grown for cattle will yield nearly 500
gallons to the acre.
