FOR
THE STAMPS
OLD MILL AT KEYSTONE TO BE
PROVIDED WITH HUGE STEAM
ENGINE AND BOILERS.
Several Thousand Tons of Rock to Be
Treated, Both in Shaft of Mine
and in Dump From Old Workings
Water Wheel Superseded by En-
CINE and Plant to Run Continually.

j. d. Negus, a member of the North
Park Copper syndicate, owning the
Keystone, Blue Jay and other mining
claims in the Keystone district, ten
miles southwest of Centennial, an
nounced today that the work of INSTALL
ing the power plant at the Keystone
mine is proceeding as rapidly as the
men can do the work and that a work
ing force is being gathered. The new
machinery includes a 100-horse power
boiler and an S0-horse power engine.
The old twenty-stamp mill is in splen-
did condition, the new steam plant af-
fording ample power for a mill twice
as large.
Cyanide Plant in Connection.
1t is the intention of the company to
work this stamp mill in connection
with the cyanide plant now being
placed in commission at the mill, and
the huge dump of the Keystone mine
and some 10000 tons of ore to be
peYIoM 90 UEM 9u!m eql u! peddols
over. With the cyanide plant, work
ing the "tailings" from the stamp mill,
it is possible to save about SO per
cent of the gold in the rock. The
dump contains thousands of ons of
rock that will run from "a to Sc to
the ton, and as this a be handled
direct from the dump to the mill, the
cost of production will be compar-
atively small.
Will Sink Shaft.
The shaft of the keystone will be
sunk 200 feet or more if the vein mat
ter continues, at the same time the
huge masses of ore in the slopes be-
ing taken out and treated at the mill.
Mr.. Negus expects a considerable re-
turn in precious metal both from the
shaft and the dump. The latter has
already been treated once, but perhaps
not more than half the gold was taken
IL at the first treatment. The gold

it all the more valuable for treatment
by the cyanide process.
No Lack of Power.
The old Keystone mill was driven by
a water wheel. In the winter time the
stream was frozen and the mill re-
manned idle. In the summer time
there was a scarcity Of water and the
power was inadequate. With the new
steam plant there will be no lack of
power for years to come, no matter
how rapidly the plant grows.

Eve would make no response. Then
the last surprise In a day Of surprises
came to him. With slight stir. a

The gesture was simple and very
sweet Her eyes were soft and full of
light as she raised her face to his, her
lips parted in unconscious appeal.

principle are but words to headstrong
man. The full significance of his poai-
ton came to him as 1t had never come

bent toward her, his pulses beating un-
evenly.

his voice he suddenly hesitated. 1t was

For an instant he stayed motionless.
Then very quietly he drew away from

MADE BY PRISONERS
euTTA PERcHA BUTTONS HAD
 SAD HISTORY.
Whitfield by Southern Soldiers In Cap tivity and Worn by Southern Girls Evidently Had Memories for
 Old Lady.

'.Grandma, just look at those funny rings in that window" said a young lady on Sixth street the other day as she and a lady much older passed the window of a small store whose nature was advertised by three large gilt balls overhead.
 "They are black. never saw black rings before And look at that one. It's fiat and set with silver stars. And there's another with little gold plate. Are they mourning rings?"
 No" said the old lady, they are not mourning rings. They are re- minders of that awful war"
 Why, what did they have to do with the war;" asked the girl in as. tonishment.
 Rings like those were made by the confederate prisoners right here in St Louis, said the old lady
 There were many prisoners. hun dreds at a time, locked up in the old Mcdowell college at Eighth and Gra- tiot, and in the old Lynch prison for slaves, at Broadway and Clark ave nue. Your grandfather was in Nc Dowell's college, and the habits of the inmates became pretty familiar to him before he got out Most of the l prisoners were captured in the field, | with nothing in the world but the 1 clothes they had on, and those were often very ragged The government supplied clothes for such as needed them, and benevolent people in the city, both Northern and Southern sym. pathizers. sent great bundles of cloth ing to the prison, but some of those poor fellows were so proud that they wouldn't wear the governments clothes. and said they'd die in their rags before they'd wear charity gar ments. So they made rings.
 The guards were permitted to buy gutta percha buttons for them. and they were allowed. by special permit, little pocketknives that were gathered up by the guards every night and is sued again in the morning, and all day long they would sit and whittle tough black buttons, making rings like those, and rounding them and polish tnB them Dy TuDDluS llelu dSdiuSt the walls and on the floor.
 Tt sometimes took man two or three days to make a ring. Then the union soldiers would sell them for the prisoners, and there was good sale for them at dollar apiece. Some of those with silver sets were made out of dimes that the prisoners ham mered until they were as thin as pa per. suppose that gold set may have come from bit of watch chair or something like that.
 The Southern girls all wore them for 2 while"
 The two went on. A day or two , after the young lady was passing the store window with a companion and thought of the rings and the story.
 Let's go in and buy one for keep sake" she said But the rings were not In the window. The two went into the shop.
 "i'd like to look at some black rings you had in your window"
 They're gope,' said the proprietor An old lady came in and bought the whole lot "-St, Louis Globe-D Democrat
