MONTH OF MAY SHOWS LARGEST
TONNAGE EVER PRODUCED
BY THE CAMP.
NEW MILL TO OPEN
GOLDEN CYCLE PLANT TREATED
OVER HALF MILLION DOL
LARS WORTH OF ORE. 1

Cripple Creek.-The production OF
the Cripple Creek gold mining district 4
for the month OF May has eclipsed all
previous records SO far as tonnage Is
concerned. although by reason of the
unprecedented shipments of low-grade
dump ore the average value of the pro-
duct has been materially reduced.
The actual tonnage, as computed
from the figures secured from the mill
and smelter accredited representa-
tiyes, totals G5.l93 tons, of gross
bullion value of 1854 $50.
The general average value Of all
grades of ore is $20.S0. =
A new record was established by the
Golden Cycle company at its plant at
Colorado City. This mill alone treated
approximately $4,000 tons of a bullion ;
value slightly in excess of 100000.
The local mills. five in number, ham
died close to 10000 tons of the low av-
erage value of $3.50 ton.
A sixth mill for the treatment Of
low grade ore and dump rock will be
added to the local plants in June, when
the new cyanide mill under construc-
tion by the rrilby Mines Company is
placed in commission. The plant is
modern In every respect, and has
daily capacity Of 100 tons, and is stu
ated on the company's estate on the
southern slope of Bull hill.

Forest pestructlon.

When the cutting up of the public
domain began century ago the lands
SO cut, as well as large parts of the
original states, contained the most
abundant forests then standing in the
temperate zone. To illustrate what
their destruction has been, and how
needless, 1t is only necessary to con-
slider the pine forests about the Great
Lakes. There were in that region 60
years ago, says ]. L. Mathews, in the
Atlantic. upward of 100000, 900, 900
board feet Of white pine lumber, stand
ing in almost continuous forests over
northern Michigan, northern Wiscon.
sin. and a good half of Minnesota.
The cutting of this timber began in q
small way, few million feet a year.
Gradually this increased until 1t
reached two, three and even four bill
lion, and then swept upward with a
rush to aggregate nearly 5000, ,OOO, 900
In year. Then as the forests gave
out 1t dropped. until to-day it is less
than 5000, 900 feet year. at which
rate the end is fast approaching.

Diseases Barriers to FuII Work.

Slack work and inefficient industry
come in more cases from chronic dis.
ease than most realize. Incipient con.
sumption keeps many from full work.
There are in this city at least 10000
adults doing part work because of tu-
berculosis. Taking the various chronic
and preventable diseases and there
are some $4,000 adults in a city of the
size Of Philadelphia whose work il
poor from lack OF health. This is prof
liable neither to employed, employer
nor the community, says the Philadel-
phia Press. When the sleeping sick
ness has left Africa, malarial fever
wiped out by destroying mosquitoes in
the tropics, sprue and other intestinal
maladies in east tropical Asia, tho
hookworm in the south and elsewhere
and consumption over all zones, tenn
perate and torrid, the Industrial EN-.
cheney Of man will be increased over
the world on scale which will ad-
vance both comfort and wages, the
standard Of life and the return Of

CONGRESS AND THE CAPITAL

The currency bill was forced
through the Senate during the closing

signed by the President.
The Chinese United Society, and the
Chinese Anti-Opium League have
cabled Senator Joseph B. Foraker of
Ohio, urging the passage by Congress
of the bill prohibiting the Importation

On August oath an examination will

In the Marine corps. Because of the
operation of the provisions Of the new
naval bill there are, in addition to
those naturally existing, about forty
eight vacancies In the grade. An effort

In ten different cities.
The Senate adopted a conference re-
port on the omnibus public lands bill
containing a provision for the resur-
vey of some 200 townships in Rio Blan-
co and Cheyenne counties, Colorado
It provides for extensive resurveys In
Wyoming. At the request of Senator
Guggenheim the Senate made provi-
sion for resurveying lands in Colorado
where lines were originally carelessly
drawn, and monuments were lost
through drifting sand and careless re-
moval of rock piles by settlers
A bill relating to coal deposits
In Alaksa has been signed by the Pres
ident. Its principal provision includes
an attempt to prevent monopoly by re.
stricting holdings to 1850 acres of coal
lands, and providing penalty of for
feiture OF all holdings by persons In.
dividually or in combination who get
possession OF more than this number OF
acres. 1t also gives the government
the first claim on coal that may be
mined, thus guaranteeing fuel supply
for the navy.

Big Reservoir Planned.

Florence, Colo.-When the plans OF

height will be $50 feet, the capacity
35.OOO,0 900 feet, and it will be built Of
solid masonry. Claim is made for

Tragic Mistake Near Red cllff.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Red Cliff Sunday night says: A Pc
culiar and unfortunate tragedy enacted
at Pando, six miles east of here last
night resulted in the death OF Joseph
Brothers, we'll known resident OF
Gilman, who was shot dead while try
ing to board q train.
Passenger trainmen had received or
ders to guard against hOld-ups through
this portion of the country Last night
Flagman William Soper of Denver &
Rio Grande passenger train No. l
found man beating his way on the
steps of the rear Pullman Just as the
train emerged from the tunnel at Ten.
nessee pass.
When the train reached Pando It
was tagged and stopped near the de-
pot. Soper got out to investigate and
alongside of the rear car of the train
met man in the darkness and shot
and killed him instantly. Brothers had
walked from Frisco in Summit county,
across the range to Pando for the pur-e
pose of catching the train. He leaves
widow residing at Gilman. Soper's.
statement is that he believed the train
was being held up and that Brothers,
who was unknown to him, was one of
the hold-ups.
1t appears that the train had been
tagged by the other trainmen to let
off passenger who had been uninten-
tionally carried by the station. Soper
Is greatly distressed over the tragedy.
