Cripple Creek Zinc and Lead.

The lead and zinc industry, it seems,
is assured in this district, says Grip
pie Creek correspondent, as there are
large bodies of those minerals here,
and mill run tests have proved sue
cess in the treatment of the ores Grip
pie Creek being a gold camp, no atten-
tion has been paid to other minerals.
and lead and zinc were unthought of
until the Lost Lille company, owning
large acreage on Copper mountain,
four months ago opened enormous bod
les carrying silver, zinc and lead. 1t
was then believed that by separat-
ing process the ore could be treated
at good profit. A mill was erected
and put in operation several weeks
ago. and the plant is now handling
sixty tons Of ore per day. The silver,
lead and zinc are being separated, and
the operators Of the mill are making
money. The capacity of the plant, it
is understood. will be increased and
Copper mountain thoroughly worked.
Copper mountain is looked up as a
freak section of the camp, as it carries
all kinds of mineral, from gold down to
iron, and opals of inferior grade have
been found in that locality. There are
also large deposits of copper on the
mountain that years ago were consid-
cred worthless from miners stand

When Makino Pies,

Do not roll the paste too thin for
pies or it will be dry and tasteless
when baked. Divide the paste into
two sheets and spread one over the
bottom and sides of the tin. Now put
in the fruit, heaping it higher in the
center, and put over it the second
sheet of paste as lid, pressing the
edges closely down and then crimp-
ing or notching them with sharp
little knife
When the fruit is juicy place on the
center of the under crust a small com.
mon teacup, laying the fruit around
and over it. The Juice will collect
under the cup instead of between the
edges of the pie. The fruit should be
well sugared when placed in the pie.
Preserves should never be put into
covered pies.
Pies should be eaten the day they
are baked, If possible.
Tarts are small shells filled with
fruit.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
To Treat Independence Dump.

Reports from London, England are
to the effect that Stratton's Independ-
ence company, owners of the Independ-
ence mine, Is still contemplating the
building of big mill on the Independ-
ence ground to treat the immense ton
mage of low-grade ores in the dump
which are known to average not less
than SO a ton in gold. Exhaustive sam
pling tests made several months ago
proved conclusively that the ores con-
tanned that value and little better.
If the mill is built it will have large
capacity, not less than 500 tons daily
and possibly greater. It's cost would
reach for first construction fully $780,
900, and all forms Of low-grade ore,
whether oxidized or not, would be put
through. Philip Argyll, the we'll
known cyanide expert, who Is now con-
sulting engineer for Stratton's Inde-
pendence company, is Of the opinion
that sufficient progress has been made
in solving the problem OF treating the
unoxidized low-grade sulpho-telluride
ores of this district to justify the erec-
ton of big mill at the independence,
but some further favorable treatment
results must be guaranteed before the
heavy investment for the mill can be
expected to take definite form. 1t is as
serted that the technical results re-
quired are within practical reach. The
dump at Stratton's Independence mine
contains about 100000 worth OF ore,
and its profitable reduction ought to
bring the English company large net
return.

LeadvilIe Zinc Mills.

Leadville now has four large zinc
mills in operation, and in the course OF
the present year two more will go into
commission, with total capacity Of
1000 tons per day. The mining Of zinc
ores has now become such an impor-
tant business in Leadville that these
mills are necessary for the treatment
and separation Of low-grade ores.
Three of the mills are using electrical
processes for ore separation. which are
working satisfactorily. The largest OF
the electrical mills is the American
Zinc Extraction Company's plant, sit
uated at the mouth of the Yak tunnel.
This mill has capacity of $50 tons a
day, and is at present treating ores
that run as low as twenty per cent. in
zinc. A new mill is in course of con-
struction near the Arkansas Valley
smelter. The old Globe zinc mill is
being rebuilt, and will treat fifty tons
of ore per day.

THE FIRST TWINCE

Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.

Mr.. Frank Little, well known citi-
zen Of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich, was
cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams. Pink Pills. In speak
ing about it recently, he said: My
body was run down and in no condi-
tion to Withstand disease and about
five years ago l began to feel rheu-
matte pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint SO that I could
hardly move. while my arms were
useless at times. was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain
ed me so terribly could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that I had Inflammation of
the stomach. / was extremely nerv-
GUS and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.
"As I said before, had been suff-

be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when a friend here in Port
land told me how DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured MIN Of neuralgia in
the face. even after the pain had
drawn it to one side. decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
I was entirely cured. I have never
had a return of the rheumatism or OF
the paralysis.

Origin Of Starch.

The art of starching was not intro
duced into England until the ingenu-
lty of Dutch women in starching ruffs
induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to
them when she took to wearing cam
brio and linen cuffs. In 1864 Mistress
Dinghein Won den Plasse, the refugee
daughter of a Flemish knight, came
with her husband to London, accord
ing to en- old writer, and set up an es-
tablishment for starching, where she
not only piled her trade, but instruct
