ADULT BLIND WILL De
GIVEN A CHANCE

Denver, July 31.-At q recent meet
ing of the board Of control of the Col
orado workshops for the adult blind,
J. F. Myers, formerly president of the
society of adult blind In Colorado, was
chosen general manager of the insti-
tuition and was told to go ahead with
the work of installing the workshop
and getting it in readiness for the
blind to begin work.
Mr.. Myers stated that two rooms
had been secured at 11th and Santa
Fe avenue and that machinery had
been bought and that the work shop
would be ready for occupancy Sep
tember l. In the meantime the ladies'
who are blind are spending the time
making fancy work, ETC.. which will
be placed on sale the opening day.
the proceeds of which will go for the
better equipment of the shop.
When first opened the workshops
will be equipped for the manufacture
of brooms, several varieties of brushes
cane bottomed chairs.
1t will be remembered that the last
legislature appropriated $4,000 for
the establishment Of a workshop for
the adult blind, or in other words. for
the establishment of an industry
where the blind could earn their own
livelihood.
The shop according to Mr.. Myers.
will be opened September and all
of the adult blind who desire positions
should communicate with him at 1919
Stout street, Denver. There are GER

FREIBURG IS
COMING OUT
Local Talent Moving in District
Rich in Copper, Silver, :
Lead and Gold.

Lively interest is again being awakened
in the old Freiburg district, fifty miles
west of Pioche, and, as has always been
the case with pioneering enterprises in
the surrounding districts, Salt Lake is
there to begin the race for supremacy
There has never been any question about
the wonderful naturalization of the dis
trict. 1t is simply laced up with rich
lodges of silver, gold, lead and copper
and tons of the finest kind of ores have
repeatedly been exhibited in this city. The
long wagon haul of more than 100 miles
to MOdena has been the principal draw
back to the development of the country,
but now that the railroad is approach
ing Phoebe, 1t is realized that the day is
not far off when the better grades of
ore can be shipped to the shelters here
at handsome profit, while the develop
ment of the mines is just as sure to
give the camp railroad connection, direct,
within the next year or two.
These conditions have started the ball
rolling and a half-dOZen or more cOmpa-
MES, including the Empire Consolidated,
the Tri-Metallic, the St. Paul and Mich
igan Copper, together with numerous in
dtviduals, are now making the fur fly
in various parts of the camp. These COM
panies and individuals are demonstrating
anew what was known and appreciated
in the early days, namely, that the dis
trict afforded unusual opportunity for
mining. enterprises The building of rail-
roads and the perfection in cost of treat
ment is beginning to have the desired eff
feet and the district is getting ready to
boom.
Very recently z. L. Chesney of this city
! has been instrumental in getting local
/ capitalists to send experts into the coun-
! try. with the result that a splendid group
| of claims has been acquired right in the
! heart of the mineral zone. Development
so far done has exposed unusual value
in copper, silver and lead and strong
| crowd is now preparing to launch the
/ Wyoming-Freiburg Mining & Milling
! company. Salt Lake and Wyoming cap
| ital will be in control and a hummine
/ campaign of development is promised.
| Ores exhibited by Mr.. Chesney are ex-
[ ceedingly attractive and characteristic OF
the district and assay returns show the
rock to carry values ranging all the way
/ from $50 to over $50 per ton. A great
| contact ledge runs drought the ground
| that is going to the new company anC
I q fifty horse-po gasoline holse has
already been ordered for shipment to the
/ property, where a splendid working shaft
/ will be put down to develop the ore bod
| les exposed in the surface workings
/ Experts who have examined the GROUND
/ report that no difficulty will be expert
| enced in sorting the ores to a grade
/ that will pay handsomely to ship. and ii
/ is the expectation to begin marketing
rock from the mines before the end OF
/ the present year.

CONTACT CAMP
ON THE BOOM
Stages Going From Cobre to
New Camp Are Loaded
Down Daily.

Ely. New. June 15.-Cobre is the CEN
ter of great excitement, due to the strikes
recently made in the Contact district in
the northern part of Elko county. Ger
rim, Johnson. and Richardson have several
claims which they are developing. Peo-
pie are entering the country in great
numbers and the Cobre-COntact stage
line is daily taxed to its utmost. Ex-
perts who have examined the properties
in that vicinity state that the outlook is
excellent and that big returns can be
expected from the newly discovered mines
of copper and lad.
An operating shaft is being sunk by the
Guggenheim- Greenwater Copper company
on claim No. l of the Pinyon group, sit
uated about five miles northwest of Ely.
The shaft is a single compartment, tim
bered, and is Az by 6la feet in the clear.
The company intends to continue sinking
until pay ore is reached, which may be
struck within 100 feet. If not, work will
be continued until pay ore is struck. In
the latter case a gasoline hoist VIII be
installed, so as to enable the miners to
continue the work of sinking the shaft
The firstly fifty feet will be completed
about July ].

west is interested, as well as a similar
report on New York curb transactions. a
feature that has just been aUCeu by

for use in this department of The Herald.
Boston. June 15.-The same old story,
tired holders getting out and very few
buyers in the market. Amalgamated is
being sold all the time. and this affects
all the cOppers. Utah Consolidated
dropped again today, breaking to 30.
There was no demand for North Butte,
and any selling breaks the price easily.
We advise especially now the selling of
the cheap nOn-dividend paying coppers
such as WiuOna, Michigan, Adventure,
Franklin. Mass and Rhode Island.
These may be all right in active
markets. but with the standard coppers
going off every day. these small mines
are not worth what they are selling at.

and these will be placed IN operation ~
intervals of a few days. or as rapidly as
the men can be trained to take care of
them. By the first of the coming month
another section or two will be in commits

pacity of 5000 tons.
It is expected taht the first shipment

advantage of the market that the new
plant will afford.
The Tintic district Mr.. Joseph says,
never was so prosperous as it is today.
But for all that, it is only just getting
started. When the new railroad is TIN
ished and the camps own smeiter is In
operation a tremendous amount of ore
that cannot now be touched owing to the
costs of transportation and smelling
charges. will find ready and profita-
BILE market at the new works, and the
camp will move all the faster a re-
suit. Renewed activity is noticeable all
through the southern portion of the dis
trict, and the way that ground is broken
in the eastern portion of the district. as
q result of the operations of the Jesse
Knight, c. E. Loose and other recent pro-
motions, is simply astonishing. The north
end, also is waking up, and a number or
new mines are coming to the front in that
direction.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE,
Week Closes on a Market That Has
Been Fairly Active and Strong.

Measured by and contrasted with the
business done by mining stock exchanges
elsewhere in the country, there is no room
to complain over conditions here. Dur
ing the past week there has been good
trading for a greater portion of the time
and prices have ruled strong in nearly all
stocks dealt in. There have been excep-
tons to the rule, but there have been no
declines due to adverse conditions at the
properties which the stocks represent,
and the prospects seem to be that the
market will run along about as it is doing
for some time, or until the unwarranted
pessimistic feeling in the country has
been removed. Then there Will be a
boom in Utah stocks.
During the week a total of 1913 shares
of stock with a selling value of 1854. 50.
changed hands, yesterdays proportion of
the totals being 17,120 shares and $13, 2S2. 40.
Following is the list of final quotations
