To save the American elk from the same fate which has overtaken the buffalo, an active campaign is being made by members of the B. P. o. Elks to secure at the present session of con gress an appropriation of s3o,ooo for the creation of an elk preserve in the southeast corner of the Yellowstone Ma tional Park. Most of the wild elk now in existence are in Wyoming. Grand Exalted Ruler R. L. Holland of Cobra do Springs, Colo, has transmitted to every lodge communication asking the adoption of resolutions urging on congress this action. The crusade is the result of reports which gained circula- tion few years ago that elk. were being slaughtered that their teeth might be secured for B. P. 0. E. emblems.

Built upon foundation of gold ore, a seven story bank building is in course
 of construction at Colorado Springs, Colo. Many hundred tons of low grade ore, running in value from sl to S3 a ton have been shipped from the mines and dumps on Bull Hill in the Cripple Creek district to Colorado Springs and used in the massive foundations for the Exchange National bank building The ore has no mineral shipping value, but it makes an exceptionally strong build ing material when mixed with cement. The total value of gold in the founda- ton is estimated at s2,oOo, the cost of a modern cottage. It is doubtful if there is another bank in the country which rests literally on foundation of gold.

 The records at Washington show that William B, Dulany is an employe of the auditor of the navy. He is carried on the payroll at salary of sl,6oo per year,
 He does not audit the navy much, however, and his stipend is greatly out of proportion to his contribution to our standing as sea power.
 However, the president is commander in-chief of the army and navy, and MT. Dulany's job may as well be charged to one as the other. The fact is, how ever, that he comes no nearer naval matters than to shave tho president every day just before luncheon.
 carping critics may think that pres ident drawing $50,00o per year might pay h.s own barber bills. but the fact is that we can better afford to pay MT. Dulany $2,500 per year than to have the president shave himself or be shaved by barber less skillful than Mr. Dulany.
 Mir. Roosevelt is, perhaps, no harder to shave than other men with equally hard boards, but his time is precious, and he transacts business with both lips and jaws while he is shaving. Those who have seen Mir. Roosevelt talk know that all his features are in active, not to say violent motion all the time. Since the Tillman episode came up, and the senate Is going after him for tearing down the old B. & o. rat garage, and the house is tabling his secret service messages, and the senate is asking about his letting the steel trust buy that opposition concern, his features vi- brate and oscillate and contort more violently than was erstwhile the case, if possible.
 Yet Mfr. Dulany scrapes away calmly, never cuts the Rooseveltian lips, never breaks his razor on the Rooseveltian teeth, and makes 1t possible for the president to use every second of the shaving period. It is considered a great thing for a newspaper man in Wash ington to be accorded the shaving time, and enterprises of great pith and mo- ment are forwarded or squelched by words shot forth through Mir. Dulany's lsther.
 Whatever account he is paid from, Mir. Dulany earns his money. We pay Mir. Roosevelt at the rate of Sl4 an hour for his days work Mir. Dulany saves to this great nation half an hour, or T worth of this time every day. He does not cut the executive counterance, and he does not talk about what he hean. Perhaps this is why he is rated as an auditor. Auditor is from "au- dio'' which means .'to hear MT. Dulany hears a whole lot, but he never gives anything out. He is a good audi tor. Let him continue to audit the presidential countenance, receiving si,6oo for saving the people $3,ooo worth of time.
 Next to Mir. Jack Johnson, Mir. Du- lany may be regarded as the most noted colored man in the world. Pres. Simon of Hayti is not even an aiso-ran.

New processes of ore treatment which have just been discovered by the Port land Gold Mining company, the largest producer of the Cripple Creek district, after years of exeperimenf,atio by met allurgists all over the world, will make possible the successful and profitable treatment of raw, low grade telluride ores, which run as low as s4 ton. This announcement, made in the annual report of President F. G. Peck of that com. pany, means not only that large dumps, abandoned workings and numerous non producing mines of the Cripple Greek district can be worked at profit of from $1 to $2.5o ton, but 1t is of general significance to the mining world. The Portland company plans to erect at the mine on Battle Mountain. a 300-ton mill to treat the millions of tons of ore lying in it's forty miles of workings and stacked upon its dumps.

ENOUGH OF BELLY possuM.

ENOUGH OF BELLY PossUM.
 The city of Washington is as busy as . boo nowadays preparing for the inau- guration of MT. William Howard Taft as president of these United States. The rat-tat of the hammer is heard as great grand stands go up, and 1t will not be long time until the city is gay with bunting, streamer. and nag, and quite ready for the big show on March 4.
 MT. Taft has turned his footsteps homeward. He has had great time in Dixie; he is learning many valuable and essential truths in Panama Just now, we suspect. It appears that he is to return via New Orleans. where an alligator Misunderstanding of a joke, we
 neakingly surmise--is scheduled for his delectation and delight. Good enough; let the merry making progress to it's conclusion. No fault is to be found with anything that has gone before in that regard! There is a certain amount of good-natured frolicsomeness in the aver age American wherever you find him north, east, south or west-and it binds us closer together, perhaps, to mingle and get some of it of our minds oc- casionally.
 After March 4, however, when Mir. Taft shall have become President Taft, let's drop this Billy 'Possum" busi- ness. The Teddy Bear as part and parcel of the Roosevelt administration, was. at least, the gradual evolution of a definite idea, and, somehow, was not altogether misfit. It was founded or. sort of consistency, if not much high quality common sense.
 But there is no sufficient reason why this Billy 'Possum" thing should be permanently attached to MT. Taft. He has done nothing on earth to merit so sad fate. There is not one thing about tho 'possum that suggests the presidentelect; not one characteristic of the little beast that can be paralleled with one of the Ohioans. Moreover. it tends to undignify him, and what is of infinitely greater concern, the presiden- cy of the United Statesi
 We have not doubt that the prop- osition to immortalize the Billy Pos sum- at MT. Taft's expense was cor ceived in the best of good nature and the outcome of entirely appreciative motives. That is all right, and is duly set down to the originator credit. But the further progress of the fad, if it may be so called, should be sternly sup pressed, for all thatl The 'possum is nasty, ratlike "varmint;" it is not an article of food acceptable to one southern table in hundred. and is af- fected even by the poorer classes and the negroes gingerly and hesitatingly and then because it may be had for the hunting only. That's the real un- vanished truth in respect of the DOS sum, and those who know will not dis, pute itl
 Let us help Mir. Taft start of un- nampered of everything that may in anywise embarrass or annoy him. Let us all try to pick the big rocks as well as the little ones out of his preliminary pathway. And to that end, let's resolve to disassociate him rigidly from any further thought of the Billy Pos sum-"
