TOOK PEEP
AT STRONG
MAN VERsED IN COPPER PROPER.
TIES HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
OF THIS PROMISING MINE.
DR.. A. B. Hamilton Returns From Visit
to DR.. Swigart at Leslie and Incl
dentaIly Inspection of Workings of
the Strong-Says There Is Ore on
Every Hand.

DR.. A. b. Hamilton returned last
night from Leslie. where he had been
for a visit with DR.. Swigart, whom he
found in good spirits and enjoying
The doctor seemed to be able to move
his limbs more freely, and to get about
better than when he was here, the
c~heerfulness of his disposition adding
to his better feeling.
Went Into Mine.
DR.. Hamilton spent an hour or more
in the Strong mine while at Leslie,
visiting the 15O-fout and the 250-foot
levels of that mine. He did not go
into the lower workings, as at the time
of his visit the miners were preparing
to explode a shot and DR.. Hamilton
preferred the open air at such mo-
ments. He says there is a good deal
Of work going forward in the mines.
in opening new drifts and levels and
in developing the ore bodies.
Saw Plenty of Ore.
In the short time l was there" the
doctor said, 81 saw more high grade
ore, more medium grade ore and more
low grade ore than in a much longer
time spent in one of the great dividend
paying mines in Utah. In that state a
miner showed me a streak of yellow
sulphide ore as wide as my hand is
thick. He raved over it and wanted
me to. In the Strong mine yesterday
MI. Baker showed me just as rich
streaks of sulphides that ranged in
width from the thickness of my hand
to the thickness of my body, and. by
jingsi to the thickness of my whole
person up and down. and I'm not so
ALFRED short, either.
Sorry He's Not Interested.
There was ore at every point.
Wherever the workmen had stopped
on a drift there was ore and wherever
they made a new start there was more.
1t seems to be a necessity for a con-
c%entrating plant, for of the three
grades of ore, good, poor and bully,
there is much that can be converted
into good, hard, properly stamped coin
of the realm in a brief space of time
The mine looked good to me from what
l had heard of it, and l can assure you
it looked man. times better when
brought to these two good eyes of
mine. There is one drawback in the
whole Strong proposition-I W no

QUESTION AS
TO CHICKENS
PURE FOOD AMENDMENT RELAT-
ING TO FOWL PREPARED FOR
MARKET AND STORED.
Grocers' State Organization, Formed
at Cheyenne Yesterday, Has Mat
ter Under Consideration and Asks
That 1t Be Held in Allegiance Until
Tests Are Completed.

Prof. H. G, Knight, chemist at the
university and also the state chemist,
returned this afternoon from Chey-
enne, where he had been to attend
the meeting Of the gTocers OF the state
and to assist that body of men in form
ing a state organization. The body
was formed into a permanent associa-
ton, with a full list of officers. Prof.
Knight was particularly interested in
having them take position on the
amendments to the pure food laws of
the state, now pending in the state
legislature. All of these were endorsed
except the one relating to the dressing
of poultry for market. The grocers
did not favor the drawing" of chick
ems before selling. an amendment that
had been prepared upon the recon-
mendation of a number of citizens of
the state.
Grocers Desire Results.
1t was brought to the attention of
the members of the association hat in
Massachusetts the Legislature had ap-
propriated $4,000 to carry on the in
vestigation of this very subject, and
the new grocers' association asked
that the matter be held in allegiance
until the results of these tests have
been made known.
Question of Doubt.
Cold storage men are divided in
their minds as to whether fowl are
more healthful before or after the
process of dressing after they have
been picked of their feathers. Some
contend that to draw the fowl will
cause mould to form on the inside of
the carcass, others holding that the
gases that are injurious come from
the entrails being left in until the
fowls are prepared for cooking. The
matter is of great concern in this state,
where a very large per cent of the
fowls sold are cold storage product,
undrawn at the time of their sale to
consumers.
