To Try Smelling by Gas.

A new company to be known as the
Colorado Smelling and Refining Com
pany. is in process of organization,
says an Idaho. Springs correspondent.
The headquarters will be at Idaho
Springs and the capitalization 5000, 900.
II is the intention of the promoters of
this company to make It cooperative.
A smelter will be built at Idaho
Springs and new patent process in
stalled which 1t is claimed will reduce
the cost Of smelling from 45 to 75
cents ton. The process is the inven-
tion OF Charles A. Kuenzel, who has
been experimenting in generating gas
from oil. as n substitute for coal. the
fuel thus obtained is a perfectly dry
and non-explosive gas. This is COM
bined, fifteen parts of oil and eighty
five parts Of air. making an intense
heat. A specially designed apparatus
enables perfect control of the blast,
and experiments on commercial scale
are said to have given most satisfac-
tory results.

Rich Strike on Gold Hill.

Ore running 81 to the pound. or $4,-
600 to the ton, has been opened up in
the Accident claim on Gold hill. and
almost within the limits OF the city of
Cripple Creek. says the Denver News
correspondent. The strike was made
two days ago, and there has been an
effort to keep the big find quiet, but
the news leaked out tonight, and It is
known that an ore body two feet wide,
carrying the high-grade, has been en-
.countered. The strike was made by
Butler and McClintock, lessees operat-
ing at depth Of $50 feet. The vein
is an entirely new one, separate and
distinct from any ore body known or
thought to lie in this section. The as
says taken between the side walls were
from $40 to 200 ounces of gold to the
ton. The ore. without sorting, will
give returns of $1,000 to the ton, and
screenings will exceed twice that
value. A shipment Of high.grade in
sacks Is being prepared.

Preserving Scenery"

Not long ago a man of national i'm
portance characterized an attempt to
'beautify the city of Washington as
spending money for scenery" The
phrase may be taken as sneer. as it
was intended to be taken, or with ap-
proval, as expressing a truth and a
wise policy. Spending money for
scenery, remarks Youths Companion,
is one Of the most hopeful signs of a
reawakening to natural possibilities.
1t is not confined to any one region.
San Francisco is already talking about
city, which have long been in abey-
ance. The rebuilding of the Gateway
of the west now affords an opportunity
ito put them in practice. Niagara falls.
the White mountains, the Appalachi-
ans and the Palisades are eastern
scenery, but they are also national
possessions, and it is with a sort of
wonder that commercial interests have
discovered how strong the feeling is
. against destroying them or encroach-
s. ing seriously upon them. The old state
house in Boston and independence hall
in Philadelphia are more local ex-
amples of the same quality of public
interest which lies in sentiment. They
are scenery" of a sort which appeals
to pride as stubborn as the power
of money, and moro creditable. The
man who cares for his fathers grave
and preserves the old family home is
paying money for scenery" too, but
more persons understand that kind of
sentiment The other kind-the larger,
more communal and fraternal kind
Is just as surely coming into its own.

Leasing at Telluride.

The leasing system is coming to be

An abundance of work and a fam.
Inc Of workmen represent condition
that is constantly growing more COM
mon in America. The greatest trouble
is the dearth of farm hands, rs shown
by the report Of the states free public
employment Office in this city. Men
absolutely refuse to leave the cities for
the fields. But the problem is not
confined to the country. In the cities
there is work a-plenty and dearth
of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not a
notable increase in the number of
vagrants and able-bodied paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fac. that prosperity and thrift
have depleted the ranks of common
laborers, leading them to GEEK better
things in life.

Cripple Creek June Output.

With the large Homestake mill. with
a capacity of 1000 tons a day, closed
down, and operations suspended at the
Economic plant, the output of gold for
June amounts to $1,60S,S00. Although
the figures for the months production
go above the $1,500,0O0 mark. the full
output is not shown since thousands Of
tons of ore are awaiting treatment at
the smelters. The Cripple Creek, Tay-
lor & Brunton and Eagle samplers
have been running full force during
the latter part of the month, with ex-
ira men employed. At these three
plants cars of ore are sidetracked ow-
ing to crowded conditions at the mill.
Had all of this stuff mined since June
1st up to this morning been handled
the output would reach almost $4,000
900. AS an evidence of the recent rich
strikes in the district, the mineral

Plea for Wild Flowers.

This is the season of the year when
jewellers in cities and towns may be
seen returning after holiday excur-
sions, loaded down with flowers
leaves and branches of trees, torn Off
from their stems by people who wish
to carry away with them the beauti-
ful things that nature so lavishly
spreads abroad in the spring. To ad-
mire and to desire to possess these
beautiful things is natural, yet to tear
them down and carry them away
shows deplorable lack of thought.
The least informed person, if willing
to pause and think for a moment, says
Forest and Stream, knows very well
that few hours after the twig has
been parted from its branch or the
flower from it's stem, twig and flower
alike must lose all resemblance to the
beautiful growing thing that inspired
the wish for possession, and is no
longer worth having. Thus, for the
qualification of a passing impulse, one
has destroyed beautiful object that
but for this hasty act might have
given pleasure to other people for
days or weeks. 1t is not uncommon
to see people coming from the coun-
try laden with branches of dogwood
for example, four feet long; lilacs are
torn down and defaced, and punches
of more ephemeral flowers like vio-
lets, buttercups and others are wilt
ing in every hand. If people would
recognize how fleeting is the gratifi.
ration derived from this destruction
of the flowers, and how selfish it is.
they probably would not be guilty of
it. A well-regulated person does not
even if the opportunity occurs-de-
stroy. shrubbery in the public parks
for the purpose of carrying away with
him the flowers or branches. In
towns and cities such an act is COM
monty regarded as an offense, and
anyone found guilty of it is likely to
be punished, by fine or otherwise.
Yet, the principle is the same, wheth-
er the destruction is wrought in town
or in country; but in the country the
owner does not attempt to protect his
shrubbery or his wild flowers, unless
they are close to his house.

the sales for mining machinery alone

A YEAR FOR KILLING A MULE

That the wheels of justice have

plead guilty, some have been granted
change of venue, as a result of the

Washington, d. c.. May 1.-THE
pipe lines were the first things taken
under discussion when the senate re-
sumed consideration of the railroad
rate bill today. Senator Beveridge
presented, but later withdrew an
amendment to include pipe lines car

cared little about the gas provision.

Senator Bailey in the senate today
revived the scene of yesterday by
having read a letter he had written

for anything that he had written to
the president concerning Bailey and
the replies from Chandler, including a
copy of Chandlers diary, giving the
history of his movements on the day
when certain memorandum was sent
the president.
Bailey quoted from the New York
Tribune and charged that paper in its
Washington correspondence with
modifying its lies" He referred to
the report that a memorandum was
circulated among democratic senator's.
This he denied, but he charged that
the president yesterday showed a
memorandum to a republican senator
and republican memberof the house.
He said that the Chandler memOr-

nor even to the railroad senators.
Bailey declared that the president did
nos doubt this, (Bailey's) good faith,

To ENCOURAGE Horse Eatino.

Berlin, May 1.-THE recently form
ed German Society for the Protection
of Horses seems to be something of
a misnomer Its chairman, Major
General Zobed, announced at a public
meeting, held at the Berlin town hall,
that the chief object of the society
was to remove the existing prejudice
against the consumption of horse
flesh. Kill 'em and eat EN-" he ad-
vocated in fact. 1t was further an
nounced that a horse flesh supper
would be given shortly, to which all
persons interested in the movement
were cordially invited. The delicate
subject of sauSages was not touched
upon by the gallant general, but the
hippic feast, he said, would show con-
clusively that suitably prepared flesh
of properly treated, not overworked,
horses, made a very wholesome and
succulent remove" The removal OF
the prejudice, in this case, involves
the removal of the horse, too. There
have been, for many years, butcher
shcps, in various cities in Germany
that made specially of horse flesh
but the number of people who, know
ingly. consumed horse flesh has, here
tofore, been quite small. 1t Is hoped
by the. example and agitation of this
new organization, to convert the peo
pie in general.

SOCORRO COMPANY
FULLY FINANCED
LARGE VALLEY IRRIGATION PRO-
JECT SOON TO BE IN ACTIVE
OPERATION.

Next to the Elephant Butte dam
project near Las Cruces, the project
of the Socorro company in Socorrc
county probably means more toward
the development of the Rio Grande
valley than any irrigation proposition
yet proposed. The holdings of the
company are near the station OF
Elmendorf, a small station on the Ric
Grande division of the Santa Fe, hall
way between San Antonio and San
Marcial, N. NJ. These holdings con
stitute a large area of level valley
land lying on both sides of the river
$4,000 acres of which the company
expects to nave under irrigation
within a year. And here begins the
interesting part of the story.
Under the guidance of c. II. Elmen'
dorf, manager for the company, and
after whom the station mentioned
above was named, the services OF
Judge C. II. StOll, of Lexington, KY.
were enlisted and through Judge Stoll
the Socorro company has been sue
cessfully financed. AS a better in
PRODUCTION of the man who has lent
his assistance to Mr.. Elmendorf, the
organization of the whiskey trust is

ington. (Ky.) street railway company
and the Lexington water company
and other public utility companies of
the Kentucky city. Judge Stoll is
bringing his family to New Mexico,
and will spend much of his time at
ElmendOrf.
The land lying on the west bank of
the river will be reclaimed first. Wa
ter will be taken from the river into
a ditch. fourteen miles long and dis
tributed thence by laterals, over the
land. The river supply Of water will
he added to by a supplemental supply
from the underground flow. On the
completion of the work, on the west
bank of the river, the land on the
east bank will then receive the atten'
ton Of the company.
