Colorado YuIe Marble Com.
pay VIII Expend Large
Sum for Mill
AMOUNTS TO $2oo,Ooo

Grand Junction, Mar. 18.-One
of the largest building contracts
that has come to an individual or
corporation in this city, fell to
the lot of NJ. G. Ramsey, the well
known contractor and builder Of
this city, few days ago.
The contract comes from the
Colorado Yule Marble company,
a corporation which is coming
into great prominence throughout
the United States, from the char
acter and quality of the marble
being taken from their great
quarries at Marble, this state.
Several years ago Mr.. Ramsey
built for Col. c. F. Meek, the
president of the marble company,
some work in a big mining prop
sition in Hinsdale county. He was
so pleased with the work Of Mr..
Ramsey that when he desired a
finishing mill to be erected at the
quarries he called on Mr.. Ramsey
to become one of the bidders on
the work.
Mr., Ramsey bid and was de-
clared the successful bidder for
the work. The building that IS
to be constructed and the other
work comprehends an expendi-
ture of nearly 100000. There
will be $4,000 worth of concrete
work alone. 1t will require over
10000 feet of lumber to con-
struct the mill.
Besides this great mill building
there will be under construction
in a short time an electric line
from the mill to the quarrieS,
which will be underground, and
the estimated cost of same will be
in the neighborhood of 100000.
This electric line will be only
three miles in length, but it will
be a most important link in the
chain of transportation Of the
raw material from the quarries
to the mill to be finished
Speaking of the quarries of the
Colorado Yule Marble company
at Marble, Colo, Mr.. Ramsey said
that this great mountain of pure
white marble is greater in extent
perhaps than any beds of marble
now opened in this whole coun-
try. From the reports made by
the engineers to President Meek,
it has been computed that the
quarrying of marble can be car
ried on there for 1000 years
without exhausting the great
mountain Of this splendid marble
product.
The marble, in quality and col
or, is Of fine grain and almost
pure white and it can be MANN
factured into any size or shape
right at the mills of the company.

DEATH WARNING
FOR PREACHER

Steamboat Springs, Colo, Mar.
17.-"This is to warn you that
unless you cease your TRADE
eagainst the liquor interests of the
city and stop Immediately your
advocacy of temperance for
Steamboat Springs, you will be
filed full of shot and driven from
the town. We mean business, so
beware.
This anonymous message,
scrawled on a piece of wrapping
paper and pinned to a bag of
buckshot, was found in the vesti-
bule Of the Methodist church
Sunday night, addressed to the
pastor, Rev. III. H. Tyford.
The death warning caused a
sensation, but the minister de-
clares it will not influence him
for moment.
Rev. Tyford has been most act
i've in the campaign to make
Steamboat Springs a dry town
and has twice before received
warning letters. He read the lat
est message from the pulpit and
announced that next Sunday he
will deliver another temperance
1ecture.

Dad Respectfully Asks

you, Mr., Mayor, why is it there has been
more drunkenness, more liquor sold in
half pint bottles, more mothers hearts
made to ache, more arrests of citizens
without cause, more shooting by the
Marshal in the past two years than any
previous five years. Also, is it not the
duty of the Marshal after shooting a
person to arrest him and if dangerously
wounded to take him to a hospital, and
if not to a.lock-up. Also, do you or the
Marshal appoint the deputy that is SO
ready to shoot with his gun that shoots
sideways.

Explosion by Music.

One Of the most dangerous Of all ex.
plosives is black powder called iodide
Of nitrogen. When it is dry the slight
est touch will often cause it to explode
with great violence. There appears to
be a certain rate Of vibration which
this compound cannot resist. In ex.
periments to determine the cause of
its extreme explosiveness some damp
iodide Of nitrogen was rubbed on the
strings Of bass viol. 1t Is known
that the strings of such an instrument
will vibrate when those Of similar
instrument having an equal tension are
played upon. In this case, after the
explosive had become thoroughly dry
upon the strings. another bass viol was
brought near and the strings sounded
At certain note the iodide of nitro
gen on the prepared instrument e1-
ploded. 1t was found that the eXplo
sion occurred only when rate Of vi
bratiOn Of sixty a second was com
municated to the prepared strings. VI
bration of the G string caused an ex-
plosion. while that of the e string had
no effect.-Chicago Record Herald.

How TO Keen Honov.

Honey should always be stored in q
warm place. II kept where it will be-
come cold it often graduates or, rs the
process is more commonly described,
candied. Amateurs often place the
produce Of their hives In cool location
and are surprised at the result. When
liquid honey has granulated. says Sub
urban Life, it may be restored to its
former condition by placing the re-
ceptacle in which it is contained in a
dish Of hot water. Many people who
buy liquid honey at the stores believe
that the honey has been adulterated If
they find 1t granulated. As a matter
Of fact, this is one of the best tests Of
its purity. A bottle Of so called honey
which has been largely adulterated
with glucose will granulate but very
little. OF course it does not follow
that because the honey is not found to
be granulated it Is not pure. for If kept
In warm place honey will often con-
tinue for long time perfectly clear.
AS matter of fact, under the new
pure food laws there is comparatively
little danger Of purchasing adulterated
honey. Comb honey has never been
adulterated. in spite Of the assertions
to that effect which often have ap-
peared in print. The food value Of
honey ought to be better known. 1t
can be used to great advantage In
cooking and can be especially recon-
mended rs substitute for sugar. as 1t
places almost no tax on the kidneys.
