Power Company Pushing Work.

Boulder-About ninety additional
men were put at work by the Eastern
Colorado Power Company Monday at
the various camps along the line of its
great project, which comprises the
harnessing of the water of Boulder
creek, to develop $4,000 to 10000 horse
power, and the expenditure of $2,5OO,-
900 in reservoirs, pipe lines, power
houses and equipment.
Work has been concentrated at the
Barker meadow reservoir, where about
800 men have been employed in foun-
dation work for the great concrete
dam which, short distance below
Nederland, will impound over half a
billion cubic feet of water The exca-
vation is nearly completed, and it is
expected that the foundations will be
ready for the concrete early next
month. The plans call for the placing
of about 1000 cubic yards day.
A twelve-mile pipe line will conduct
the water from the Barker reservoir to
the Kosler reservoir, from which it
drops 1850 feet to the power house
on Middle Boulder. Considerable rock
work is necessary along this line and a
power transmission line is being built
to furnish power for the compressors.
rock crushers and concrete mixers
along the line. Between 400 and 500
men are employed.

all the mining interests of the state
in an effort to benefit the industry by
means of cooperation, discussion, ana
organization, Acting Governor Harper
and Secretary James F. Callbreath, Jr.,
of the American Mining Congress, have
issued call for a general meeting OF

least is the matter of securing for
Colorado and Denver the permanent
building, the great mining temple, OF
the Mining Congress, which is now be-
ing sought by Salt Lake City. Devel-
opment of new and old mining dis
tricts, the elimination of fraud in ad-
vertising, above all an open exchange
of ideas on the betterment of the bust
ness, and solid promotion of the re
sources of the state constitute a
few of the duties it is intended the
meeting shall consider.
Following is the call:
"Official call for Colorado mining
convention, September 10 to IL, 1905.
Denver, Colo, Aug. %, 1908.
"A state convention of mining men
is hereby called to meet in the Cham
ber of Commerce building, Denver,
Colorado, September 10 and IL, 1908,

the state of Colorado are invited to at
tend the convention and take part in
its deliberations and discussions.
This meeting is called at the re-
quest of prominent local members of
the American Mining Congress, who
have been appointed to provide pro-
gram and make necessary arrange
ments for the convention.
THE Importance of bringing to-
gether the mining men of Colorado to
discuss matters of interest to the busi-
ness of mining in the state, and to take
such action as will affect its better
ment, cannot be overestimated, and
you are cordially and earnestly urged
to be present Yours very truly,
sc. R. HARPER,
Acting Governor.
Address all communications to
James F. Callbreath, Jr., Secretary"

out from very small beginning and
gradually worked itself up to fame
and fortune.
When 1t started out away back in

thought of getting itself in the school
books and becoming national pet,

On the contrary, Bunch, 1t started
out to be Just plain, ordinary river

that it has kept right on falling out

by falling out Of bed.

1t has been understood that contin.

Of this assumption and show the pos

from the heaviest loaded and the light

Of two exactly similar portions Of the

annealing restores strength and elias
ITCHY to iron that has been impaired
by heavy loading. The tests Of the
materials corrected the old view and
proved that the strength Of the iron
