Rare Metals Of Colorado.

A visit to the State School of Mines
at Golden, that may result in much
good to Colorado, was made recently
by George Plehn, German consul at
Denver. says the Denver Republican.
Consul Plehn went to Golden on be-
half of the German government, to en-
anime the rare metal collection of the
school. The German government con-
ducts bureau of research along these
lines and publishes a bulletin for the
use of its manufacturers. Metals used
for the hardening of steel and espec-
tally guns, received special attention
from Consul Plehn, as the Krupps,
the greatest gun manufacturers in the
world. are looking for large fields OF
tungsten, a hardening metal of value.
Uranium and vanadium were also
two hardening metals which will re-
ceive attention in Count Plehns re-
port.
All these metals are produced in
quantities in the southern part of the
state and some in Boulder county. The
ores in which they come do not run
over three per cent. pure metal and the
great problem Is to find "a method OF
concentrating at commercial cost. One
of the objects in securing govern
ment mining research bureau is to go
scientifically to work to solve such
problems.
The School of Mines has one of the
finest rare mineral collections in the
country and Consul Plehn found much
of interest to report. The finest work
on tungsten that has ever been issued
by the School OF Mines is a thesis writ
ten by student at that institution.
and this will be sent in Its entirety to
the government bureau In Germany.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Tunnel Now Assured.

The future of Cripple Creek for
years to come is assured The leading
mining companies of that district have
subscribed enough money to insure the
construction of deep drainage tunnel,
which will add 1000 feet in depth to
the area of practicable mining and
probable production.
The question Of deep mining in
Cripple Greek has for long time been
solely one Of getting rid of the water.
1t is accepted by practically all mining
men that, geologically, the question of
depth cuts no figure in the future Of
the district. Ore will in all probability
be found as deep in the ground as
mines can be sunk to extract 1t.
Practical operations have been linn
tied by water, which has to be pumped
If 1t can not be drawn off. Pumping
is SO expensive at great depth, that If
1t were the only recourse, mining
would not proceed much below the
present water level But construction
of the deep drainage tunnel is assur-
ance that the water problem will be
solved without pumping.
1t will require several years to drive
the tunnel as far as the plans con-
template and then it will be slow
process by which the water will be
drawn off. But mining will not be
greatly impeded by water while wait
ing for deliverance through this tun-
mel: and ultimately It will be able to
pierce a thousand feet and more below
the level of the Ell Paso tunnel which
is at present looked upon as the water

Morrison Gypsum Deposit.

Morrison correspondent saws: A
large body of gypsum has Just been
encountered in the 375 foot tunnel,
which has been driven here for the
American Cement Plaster Company OF
Lawrence, Kansas. A machine drill
was run through the deposit Wednes-
day night, which showed the ledge TO
be eleven and one-half feet thick.
b. A. Williams of the company left
here Thursday. on his way to Califor-
MIA, where the American Cement Plas-
ter Company is installing a large gyp-
sum plant. While here. Mr.. Williams
carefully tested the drillings from the
ledge, and pronounced it superior in
quality and strength to any gypsum he
had ever seen. The deposit is located
on the west side of Mt. Glennon, run
ming parallel with the hog back and
extending southwark two miles.
The ledge pitches to the east about
thirty degrees. and crops out on the
hillside 100 feet from the base. The
tunnel runs in on level from the base
OF the hill. one-eighth of mile from
Morrison, and from the point where
tn eledge has been encountered it is
estimated there is about 1G0 feet OF
stopping ground on a vein that will
average ten feet wide. The. exploit
ing work has been in charge of Charles
c. Post and Peter o. Nelson both busi-
ness men of Morrison, and they are
under longtime contract to mine and
deliver the raw material en- board cars
at the tunnel. A mill of 200 tons daily
capacity will be erected at or near
Denver, by the American Cement Plas-
ter Company, and as soon as 1t is COM
pleted, six to ten cars of gypsum will
be shipped there daily, where it will
be made into cement plaster. plaster
of paris and whitening. In the mean
time the deposits will be developed.

The New Football.

During the past two months advo.
Gates and opponents of football and
those who regard it dispassionately
as human activity, to be reckoned
with and understood, have had oppor-
tunity to see it played under the new
rules. For some years educators and
parents objected that the game was
morally and physically injurious.
Some good players, frank enough to
brave the charge of disloyalty, con-
fessed that the game was all work
and little sport. Spectators protested
that the play was formless struggle
of massed power, not Ineligible, nor
pleasant to watch, except for thrills
of partizan loyalty After long con-
ference the rules were changed. 1t is
evident that the changes were real
and in the right direction. The play
is now more open. There is more
chance for agility and speed, less
scrimmage and shock of mere weight
and muscle. The players cover more
ground in a given series of plays.
Offenses against good conduct are
easier for the officials to see and pun
ish than in the old dense formations.
From all parts of the country come
expressions of satisfaction with the
Improvement Spectators find it more
interesting to watch. Players seem
to enjoy it better. Besides observing
the formal rules of the game, PLAYERS
have felt that football was on t,ial,
and have evidently tried to show a
goCG spirit. Several prominent edu-
Gators who opposed the old game
think that the new game has earned
its right to an extended probation
There is room for further improve
ments, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion. Undesirable roughness is still
possible. Those whose duty it is to
frame the rules can proceed on the
basis of this years experience toward
yet better game. The real faults
lie in loss of temper under excitement
and the presence of spirit which
drives contestants to try to win at all
costs. Football cannot be made a
satisfactory game by mere changes in
Its outward form; real Improvement
must be in the spirit of the contest
