Ore of as high a grade as $50 TO the

on since that time. After round of
shots this morning four-inch seam

TO REMOVE IRON MOLD.
Lemon Juice and Salt Can Be Trusted

This stain is usually caused by mate
rial coming into contact with rust, or
by ink. To remove it sprinkle the
stain with lemon Juice and salt, and
expose to the air and sun. Repeat this
until the stain has gone. IF the above
remedy fails, dip the stain into boil
ing water, and rub it with salts of
lemon, using rag for the purpose.
Then hold the stain over a cup or
basin. and pour stream of boiling
water through. The article should be
well rinsed and washed to remove all
traces of the salts, which would other
wise burn the material. This last
remedy must not be tried with color,
as salts of lemon. destroys color. II
colored material is stained with iron
mold. the only remedy is lemon juice,

Great Activity Among Miners.
eBy Capt. James Il. Smith.)

tBy Capt. James T. Smltn.)
Prevalent fine weather has caused
numerous prospecting and mining par
ties to gather their traps and prepare
for another season of activity in the
Colorado mineral fields and precious
metal mines. This year the interest
is widespread, extending from Larimer
county on the north to the La Plata
fields at She extreme southwest. The
introduction of modern mills in many
of the districts insures profit where
that factor was not possible before.
Where ores are shipped the miner is
encouraged by an increased allowance
for the silver, lead, zinc and copper IN
his ore. Within the past year the al
lowance :or copper has been twice ad-
vanced until the present average Is
100 per cent. higher than was the av-
eraee allowance at the end of 1905.
This should induce the working of cop
per-producing mines in Boulder, Gilpin,
Clear Creek, Lake, Chaffee, Dolores,
Ouray, Park, Pitkin, San Juan and San
Miguel counties, where copper values
were prominent last year. 1t should
also induce the more careful testing OF
the immense copper veins in Larlmer
county-near the Wyoming line-in
the northern part of Boulder county
and along the line of the Moffat rail-
road in Gilpin, Grand and Routt. While
attention has been given to the goid
and silver i'll the ores from the sec
tions named, the copper values, which
are likely to exceed all others, have
only been glanced at.
In Utah and Nevada large compan-
les, paying generous dividends and
nf
have been organized upon the basis OF
copper ores yielding three per cent, or
even less in the desired red metal,
Such orss are by no means rare IN
Colorado And yet, after forty-six
years of mining, not n single property
in the state is as yet operated upon
a copper basis. This is largely the re-
suit of tine small allowance hereto
fore made for the copper in ores. and
the repeated failures of small smelt-
ing plants. not able 10 command me
mixture of ores needed for successtui
and economical treatment.
At Silverton the Ross copper-basls
smelter did well last season. 1t is
now widening out, taking in more
mines TO be worked on company ac-
count. and affording better and
steadier market to small producers,
whose shipments, If kept mp for the
season, will make handsome addition
TO the wealth produced by the larger
properties. The price OF copper is the
highest on record This fact, in CON
nection with more intelligent prospect
ing, cheaper mining and transporta-
ticn. and the higher allowance at the
smelters. should advance Colorados s
annual copper production from the
sl,50O,000 per annum of the past ten
years to figure at least four times
that sum. The conditions are ripe for

tion from Colorado mines.

REASON FOR ALL THINGS,
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Origin in Wisdom.

IL you are patient enough to ferret
it out you will find that there is rea-
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing We do.
Take, for example. the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline, crepe and
lace? 1t is custom handed down to
us from the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
a dear one This idea was all iighe
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair on their
heads. but of course IL was most un-
attractive for women. No one, not
even a Roman matron liked to be
seen bald-headed. so the women of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to us. even though
heads are no longer sha, cd as a sign
of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago. when toll
Ing was first established. the people
thought that the sound of the bells

Why do men. and women. too, wear
bows on the left side of their hats?
The reason is simple enough When
the head covering built upon the order

In two ends on the left side. reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
sort OF anchor. or safety line, and
were put there expressly TO be seized
when sudden gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because. as
general thing. the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eyentu.
ally these. ribbons were knotted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut on quite close to
the hat. so that they form u very
small and stiff bow knot. OrtH aII
1t Is always the custom to throw old
shoes after n bride and this queer
