LIQUID AIR FOR HleHRALLs.
London Firm Announces Method Of
Cheap Manufacture.

London.-It is announced that a
process has been discovered for man
ufacturing liquid air at a price that
will enable it to be commonly used to
cool beverages, which will thereby not
be diluted as they are by the use of
ice. Air thus liquefied can be sold for
s1.25 gallon. If kept in vacuum
containers it will not evaporate in II
days.
A few drops only are necessary to
refrigerate a highball The drops
take pearl shape and dance like ami
mated diamonds. A white mist rises
from the glass. Little Jumps of white
ice form and melt. In two minutes the
drink is ready and deliciously cold.
Impatient drinkers would better adj
here to ice as, if they should drink
before the liquid air evaporates the
result would be pathetic for the drink
er, though humorous for the lockers
on.
Owners Of the process recommend
air thus liquefied as power for auto
mobiles and for blasting. 1t exerts as
is expands a pressure of $4,000 pounds
to a square inch.

SAYS CHARLIE ROSS LIVES.
Galveston Police Know a Man Who
Knows All About It.

Galveston, Textile police DEPART
ment here has located man believed
to be Joseph L. Douglas, one of the
abductors of Charlie Ross in JULY
1874. This man has been a resident
OF this city for many years. He is
known as Joseph Likens, but he ad-
mits that 1t is not his real name.
1t has never been proven that Doug
las was dead, although it was claimed
he was wounded at the time his COM
rade in the abduction, William Mosb-
er. was killed while robbing a house
in Brooklyn.
Likens has said that he could tell
something about Charlie Ross in ten
words, but he fears to do SO. He saws
that Ross is still living.
Likens made his appearance bere
about the time young man named
Vonhodge claimed to be the long lost
boy. The police are confident that he
was associated in the Ross kidnapninp.
and they believe he will some dav conS
fess 1t is known thai ne was in Pbi1t

tion.

the reason herein given, is surpris-
ingly large.
The constant efforts and persua-
sions of the Colorado Statesman
and the party workers Influenced
by the paper is to interest our con-
stituents to give solid vote at each
election. These people know that
the Republican party in other states
and cities where a similar vote is
obtained has granted colored voters
far more liberal rewards. The
proved traditions and high princi-
pies which made the party victor
ious at other times, and the solid
vote and united strength given the
party last spring when the vote
was so close should not be disre-
garded now. Let the ticket be
made up of whole-hearted Repub-
iicans and men whose personal in
tegrity will be a guaranty of fair
treatment to all alike. Such a
ticket is sure of election and the
county and state will see in posi-
tions of trust those from whom the
party and people will expect great
good.

INCREASE IOWA RAILROAD TAX
Total Taxable Value for Year 1906 Ia
$62, e,775.

Des Moines, lathe executive
council, which filed its report the 9th.
er day, has increased the assessment
of railroad property in Iowa $4,099,-
$50, making the total taxable value
for 1906 s62,2S9,7 ,775, as compared with
s5S,19O,1S9 in 1905 and $47,071,25S in
1901, the last year of the administra-
ton of Gov. Shaw. During the ad-
ministration of Gov. Cummins the ex,
ecutive council has found the rail-
roads of Iowa to have increased in
actual value S60,S64,06S.
The increase in taxable value BY
the sum of s4,O99,5s6 means an in
creased annual tax payment of S143,,
4S5. Most of the increase falls on
the big trunk lines which reported
enormous growth in gross and net
earnings for 1905 as compared with
1904 The chief increase in the tax.
able value assessment falls on the
Burlington and Northwestern and
Milwaukee, whose assessment IS
about $1,000,000 per road greater.
Other roads assessments are increas-
ed from 100000 to 100000. The in
creases are based on increased assess
ment per mile, mileage this year be-
ing the same as last.
The Minneapolis & St Louis as
sessment was decreased about $685.
S32, but this was the only decrease
of Importance. The interurban lines
were assessed s3S,536 higher than
last year, making their total taxable
value $457,299.

THE URGENT NEED OF CON
SENTATIVE CANDIDATES.

Will the Republicans of this
state and city and county of Den
yer put up a ticket at the coming
election that will interest the voters
of the party or the will of the pol
iticians?
We ask this question candidly
because it is the query of a num-
Der of Republicans greater than
the majority by which the ticket
can be elected. This element of
Republican voters is not hard to
please, but it must be admitted
that there is a positive conviction
existing among them to the effect
that the party does not give their
interest much consideration in the
makeup of the tickets which they
are expected to help to elect. We
are speaking particularly of the
character and personal principles
of the candidates to be placed upon
the tickets and their sense of re-
spect for the colored vote.
If there ever was a time when
the Republican party of this sity
and state needed men of broad
principles and fair minds for can
didates, that time is now. 1t is
sheerest folly to claim or contend
that the colored contingent of the
Republican party in this city or
state is always rewarded fairly for
its share in the victories that its
services help to win.
Too often men are placed on the
ticket who do not honestly respect
the elements upon whom they must
depend for election, then after
election they resort to subterfuge
and deception to avoid the prom
ises they made during the cam
paign. They determinedly deny
colored voters the places in their
offices which these voters expect,
are entitled to and have fairly and
honestly won. Such men are not
good Republicans and ought not to
be made candidates for office.
Colored voters ask no more than
other elements of the party de-
mand, and usually do not seek as
much-certainly never more than
they deserve Is it wise to either
deceive, deny or disoppoint them 2
The Importance of Republican cleo
tion this fall is great. Good broad
minded men making up a ticket of
representative worth and personal
integrity will invite the confidence
and suffrage and strength of the
Negro. Any other kind of a ticket
will be in jeopardy from the mo-
ment of its nomination to the day
of election.
We speak plainly, first for the
good of the party, and second in
the interest of the colored voter.
1t is true that the colored vote will
be cast generally for the Repubh,
can ticket, but the size of that vote
is greatly influenced by the circum-
stance to which we refer. The
number of colored men and wo-
men who refuse to vote at all, for

ACCUSATION WITHOUT FACTS.

The COLORADO STATESMAN has. up
to the present. refused to say any,
thing about the franchise trial now
pending in the courts and being
tried in the daily press of Denver
In the first place we were not GER
tain as to the facts in the case but
now the trial has progressed suffi-
ciently far to bring to light that
there was not the big steal and
gigantic frauds as charged by the
yellow" journals and that the ir-
regularities are not of a nature to
change the effects of the election.
We are against it.
The public now has bonifed evil
dence of game being played by
certain papers and the voters are
now in position to sit down hard
on the cranks who are attempting
to throw political dust in decent
peoples eyes. 1t is kick and
slap at the Republican party be-
cause they received a majority of
votes in the last election. Now it
is up to the Republicans to hand
the ''yellows" the biggest kind of
NIT in return by voting them out
of their boots.
1t is curse to Denver to have
the public in suspense these many
months and the outside newspa-
pers showing up how wicked Den
yer is, when it is all lie. These
would-be reformers ought to be
tagged and drummed out of town.
They have destroyed confidence in
their own as well as public SINGER
ity and ought to be made suffer
for it. The Republican vote ought
to show their disapproval of these
hot house reformers by turning
their pictures to the wall and win
ing the county and state election
this fall with hands down. The
''yellows" have dug their own po-
litical grave and ought to be buri-
ed in it never to rise again. Den
yer ought to be redeemed from
these calamity howlers and put
solidly in the Republican column
never to get out of line again. The
'yellows' overstepped themselves
and were beaten at their own
game.

COPPER FAMINE HERE.
Selling Interests Practically Are Bare
Of Bed Metal.

The famine point in copper mas al
most been reached as all the leading
producing and selling interests are
practically bare of the metal. Not
withstanding the high prices for the
metal inquiries continue to pour in
supplies as far ahead as the second
quarter of 1907. Most Of these de-
mands, however, are being turned
down, as the sellers do not wish to
commit themselves so far ahead, SAYS
the Wall Street Journal
Sales have been made though for
june delivery within the past few
days. As announced IN May the Unit
ed Metals Selling company agreed to
supply the United States Government
COR naval use 100000 lbs. of ingot
teen months at 1855 cents a ID, the
last delivery TO be made in June next
While most of the copper people
have sold the metal into the first
quarter of next year, at least one agent
states that he has not disposed Of
pound of copper beyond December 81,
and that he will not contract beyond
that time at the present level, he be-
ing very confident of d still higher
range of prices.
The large copper interests report an
aggregate of buying orders represent
ing several million pounds in the mar
ket. A large percentage of this bus
mess calls for delivery in February
and March Of NEXT year, but many of
the producing companies, including the
Amalgamated, are not inclined to
make. contracts extending so far into
the future. Numerous sales of cleo
trolytic for delivery in the first quar-
ter of next year have been made above
20 cents a pound. These sales have
been small in the aggregate Sales
OF electrolytic for immediate delivery
have been made as high as 81 cents
q pound.
There are many producers who would
not be surprised TO see 25 cent copper
before the close of the year if the de-
mand continues to increase as it has
done over the last three months. It
Is figured that the value of the cop
per products Of the United States this
year will be in the neighborhood of

this month up to 14,672, 900 lbs, or at

ditlon to several hundred delegates who
have already arrived there was q large

general public. President j. a. Rich

UTAH MINE HOLDS
BANNER IRON ORE
Cache County Iron Deposits
Have No Superior The
World Over.
E. H. WILSON GIVES
DESCRIPTION OF ORE
Quality Unsurpassed by Any
Found Even in State of
Michigan.

L. Il. Wilson, prominently connected
with many properties IN thls State, mas
in an iron mine in Cache county one
OF the most tempting propositions IN
all the West. Mr.. Wilson not only IS
enthusiastic over this property, but he
prosperity which Will assume no small
dimensions as soon as present plans ere
under way. Little has been said about
the iron deposits of this Utah region,
but lt IS an industry which will mean
great deal within a short time. Mr.
Wilson recently secured an option for
one year upon this iron deposit. aud he
stated Tuesday before departing for
Beaver county that this option would be
taken up in good time.
The property be states IS within
eighteen miles Of Logan, and was owned
by the Logan Mine company. Recently
three different parties of experts repre-
senting large iron and steel interests
of Minnesota, Pittsburg and the West
have made an inspection of these de-
posits. Mr.. Wilson and his associates
have refused several offers for the
property. They are doing a great deal
OF development work upon their own
account, but Mr.. Wilson states that
Gently made them by prominent iron
people for a long lease upon. this
ground This lease if let will run for
twenty-five years, calling for an ez-
traction of not less than 100000 tons
per year The royalty as partially
agreed upon will be per cent in ex-
cess of any similar one ever made IN
the iron business.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the iron eZ
perts of the country, He has had many
years of experience in this line OF ac-
tivity, and he states that while he has
seen equal tonnages elsewhere he never
ran across such magnificent quality of
iron ore before. He states the quality
is ideal, there being no phosphorus in
the ore, and that 1t will run over 20
per cent pure. The deposit is 1000 feet
wide, and extends for a distance of
6000 feet across the property. From
the nature OF the outcrop upon the
preeipitous mountain the deposit can
be seen to be fully 1000 feet in depth,
and will, of course, extend still deeper.
Experts who have made an examination
of this ground unite in saying that
there IS only one property IN the coun-
try that equals this In every way, and
that is the Republic mine IN Michigan.
The holders of the option are doing
great deal OF work at this time, ore
shaft being down 200 feet, having gone
down from grass roots upon the above
described character Of ore. Such show
ings, taken into connection with the
fiattering offers that have been made
for the mine, have fully justified Mr.
Wilson and his associates in saving that
this property will be a great proposition
for themselves, for Cache county and
for Utah

SHIPMENTS Of EAGLE
AND BLUE BELL MINE
Reported COnsignments Missed
the Real Figures by an
Even Ten Cars.

The present developments upon the
Eagle and Blue Bell mine at Tlntic are
not appreciated to the fullest extent in
this city owing to . mistake made at
the. close of last week In reporting the
ore shipments from the Tintlc district.
These reports were to the effect that
only three cars of ore were sent from
this property during the week, while
it is stated by the local management
that thirteen cars Of ore were sent
from this mine. The present consigp-
ments of this property are largely due
to the splendid resources opened up on
the thousand.foot level, and from ali
the present conditions such shipments
can be maintained faithfully.
At the point where the management
broke into this new ore body, the cross.
cut shows the body to be fully thirty
feet IN width Developments have
been steady since that time, and the
in drifting along this vein
has established It's continuity and ey-
tremely satisfactory mineral contents
up TO the point now attained IN the
working. The stock of the Eagle and
Blue Bell mine is controlled by the
Bingham Consolidated company, and in
answer 10 the developments Of the past
few weeks the stock has gained prac-
ticolly q dollar upon the local market.
The Eagle and Blue Bell S latest re-
source is one of the features of the
year in Tintic, and IL will play a prom
inent part In the year s history of that
camp.

Management Finishes the Repair Work
to the Machinery.
Owing to the fact that the Geniui
company IS one Of the closest corpora
tions doing bushes in Utah mining
circles, very little has been permitted
to reach the ears Of the outer world
regarding the developments upon this
Tintic ground. General Manager Nc.
Crystal, who came into Salt Lake
Tuesday on company business, stated
that all repairs having been completed
10 the machinery, and all the accumu.
lated water having been disposed OF,
the management placed the first shift
at work Monday.
SO far as has been learned, the news
of the temporary shut down of the Ge-
mini mine has never reached local cir
cles, its character, however. as shown
by the resumption OF activities being
Of no special import. The company is
contributing crude ore to the local
markets without interruption, and the
steady stream OF concentrates VIII be
continued as usual. Mr.. AcCrysral
states that everything is progressing
without incident, and to the entire sat
lsfaction of those at the helm.
