of machineryin in mill erected to handle
failing from the Cripple Creek mines.
Under Cripple Creek date line
of May Is, the Denver News says:
Modern milling machinery to be used
in the cleaning up of the tailings dump
of the old reduction works near Gillett
is being installed by Geo. X. Kimball
and associates of Clear Creek county.
These dumps accumulated in the
early '9O's when the mill, since
dismantled, was operated by the Ell
Paso Reduction company.
The talings have been subjected to
close tests and the values obtained are
reported holding up to So so ton.
The sand will be concentrated and it
is planned to handle between fifty
and hundred tons daily. The dumps
contain several thousand tons of
failing that accumulated at the time
the milling company was treating ore
by the chlorination process.
DR.. j. Enos Wait, Superior, Nebras-
ka, President of the General Consoli-
dated Mines company, and w: S. Marr

ming work on the several groups. The
company has excellent holdings in sew
eral sections of the camp and each
will be developed in mine-like man
ner. The board of directors is COM
posed Of men who are thoroughly in
terested in pushing the work instead
of depending upon one man to do this.
1t is being efficiently financed and
economically managed. The local
officers of the company are John 7.
Mallalieu, secretary, Chas. L. Jaynes,
superintendent and A. D. Bulls, coun-
sci.
The tunnel Of the Almra Gold Min
ing company has been driven 33S feet
at which point another fine looking
vein of ore has been cut. The COM
pany will now begin drifting on each
side of the tunnel and the outlook for
opening up an excellent body of ore is
most fattsring. In addition to this de-
velopment work, it is the intention of
the company to begin operation on the
other three veins that have been cut
These developments consist of drifting
and stoping. The claims of this COM
pany are located north of Dumont and
in a section that shows up in very
rich ore. Charles L. Jaynes is super
intendent and the showing that he is
making is very gratifying to the COM
pany.

affections is too often neglected, and as
consequence the fountain of the finer
emotions dries up.
We ourselves have much to do with
the processes of heart culture. Such
culture is necessary step to the high
est success, for out of heart are the
issues Of life. Fellowship with God is
a part of their education. 1t is only as
we accustom ourselves to His goodness
that true love wells up in our own soul.
We cannot walk with Christ in His
ministry of mercy and have cold hearts.
The school of the heart is the school of
Christ. Its great lesson book is the
New Testament; its symbol is the cross.
Self mastery extends also to the will.
Our penitentiaries are crowded with
fine specimens of athletic vigor and
brilliant intellect, but men who failed
to master self. Lincoln Collins Foster
author of our best folk songs, had q
finely developed emotional naturs, but
that did not keep him from a pauper's
death when he failed to master his own
will. And, finally, without reverence
a man cannot succeed in the true sense
of that word"

EXHIBIT WILL
SOON LEAVE
MANY PEOPLE HAVE ATTENDED
AND LEARNED MANY THINGS
OF IMPORTANCE.

The State exhibit of the AntiTuher-
culosis League, which has been here
for the past ten days. will leave this
city on Wednesday. The exhibit and
the lectures given in connection with
It, nave been well attended AMI a
great amount of good has been ac-
conplished. The purpose of this ef-
fort on the part OF the lesgue Is to
edacate the masses as to the proper
methods to prevent the disease and
the best methods for treatment.
It is now the desire with the clos
Ing Of the exhibit, that tine work 90 on
and on and tnat great good may be
accomplished. 1t is the desire that
a d.epensary may be established in
this city for the purpose of classifying
the victims OF tuberculosis in Fqi--
mont and surrounding country and TO
give lessons and lectures in regard to
the best treatment for this disease. 1t
is also the Rlan OF the league to have
a representative visit these patients
and advise with them and see that
the orders OF the doctors are carried
ont. The league further wants to lis.
tribute large number of circulars and
bulletins telling how to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis.
the league will also bring before The
people the necessity of sanitary Iegis,
lation. 1t will also urge the inspee
ton by city official of milk and meats
1t will also be upged that clean streets
and alley ways will do much to pre-
vent the spread OF this disease.
In order to properly carry out these
schemes, the league will be forced tc
ask the public for assistance in a fl.
naneial way. They ask that as / adj
viduals you join the league and pay
one dollar per year as dues. To those
wno care to pay more, life member
bership will be issued. This would be
an excellent place for some philan-
tnropie person to establish a men,
ORAL with endowments, which would
stand as perpetual memorial and tre
coming generations would have some.
thing to point to with pride.

BUSY BEE RESTAURANT
New Restaurant Gets the Business Of
FaIrmont and is Always Rushed.


That the climax has been reached
in the restaurant business in Fairmont
is evidenced by the phenominal trade
which has accrued to the efforts Of
the Droprietors of the new Busy Bee
Restaurant, 1913 Main street, during
their first weeks existence in Fair
mont
1t has proved popular mecca for
both local people and visitors every
day in the week, and at all hours near
those for regular meals it mas been
crowded every day since IT was start
ed.
Good service, good goods and atten,
tive walters are among the details
which have contributed to the success
Of the new concern, and by its intro,
ductlon hundreds of local people have
decided to patronize it whenever they
decide to eat.
Greeks conduct the business and
they have expended a large sum of
money to give to Fairmont people
what they want in short time.
There is always to be considered the
price. You can get here what you
want. You get it for less money than
You get it elsewhere.

PROBABLE THAT WOOD COUNTY
TOWN WILL GET cHAR.E.
RoPs FRANCHISE.

The hackers OF the Charleroi team
in the Pennsylvania West Virginia
baseball league gave up their fran.
chise Saturday after Grafton had de.
feated the Rats. The management,
was up against odds that 1t could not
withstand. President James D. Gron-
ninger tried to place the franchise with
Parkersburg yesterday but did not sue
coed.
The games scheduled to have been
played here yesterday and today with
the Charleroi team have been postponed
on account of the death Of the River
Rats. The team that takes mp the
franchise will play the games. Presi.
dent Gronninger was in this city when
he got the news Saturday night mat
Cnarleroi had thrown up the sponge.
MoundsYille has strong indepena.
ent team that has rounded into great
form and that town would like to get
chance in the league.
Morgantown would like to have the
franchise. 1t Is likely that Parkers.
burg will get 1T. President Gronnin.
ger is there to-day and 1t is thought
that before he leaves That city the
deal will be closed whereby the fran.
chise will pass to Parkersburg.
Charlerol played a losing game from
the beginning. The players were not
given the support that they should
have had. They were in bad shape A.
nancially and the management felt
that 1t was better to let the franchise
go to another town. Saturday night
the Management paid all its players In
full and all the debts are settled in
full.
Manager Mac Hale was unfortunate.
His bunch Of players was considered
a very likely bunch. The local team
had to go some when charlerol op.
posed them. 1t is to be regretted that
they had to give up the game.
