Ends His Life.

Ends His Life.
Despondent with life owing to pro-
tracted illness and with no possibil-
ity of regaining his health, William
Stribley, a young man who was born
In Central City sought to end it all
last Saturday afternoon in Denver by
committing suicide. He was a nep-
hew of Thomas Stribley and Mrs. /.
N. Welch, residents of Central The
Stribley and Welch families attended
the funeral. which was held from the
Stribley home in Denver Tuesday af-
ternoon. Deceased was member of
the Modern Woodmen and one of the
trades unions and judging from the
large attendance at the funeral and
the numerous floral contributions, had
large circle of friends. According
to those from here who attended the
funeral the following account of the
suicide in the Denver Republican Sun
day describes the unfortunate affair
just as it occurred:
stepping into another room out of
the sight of his wife and parents,
William Stribley,22 years old, of 1927
California, yesterday afternoon, af-
ter an illness which kept him from
regular employment for three years,
committed suicide by shooting him
self through the heart But minute
previous to the act, Mrs. May Hap
good Stribley, the mans wife, noticed
her husband opening his shirt and
feeling his breast. She asked him
what the trouble was, but he made
no reply and walked slowly into his
mothers bedroom.
For four years the young man had
suffered with heart disease and other
complications. These had rendered
1t impossible for him to devote
much of his time to his occupation
Of finisher for McPhee & McGinnity
during the last three years. Recently
trip for the purpose Of benefiting
his health was made to California
and Stribley and his wife had return
ed from this only a month ago.
"There is one child of the union,
Louise, two years old The family
lived with the young mans parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Stribley, who
are we'll known in Denver and Cent
raj City because Of their long resi-
dence in the state. The father is 4
coremaker OF the Colorado Gray Iron
works.
mo one in the house was aware
that the unfortunate man possessed
revolver. He must have purchased
the weapon within the past few days.
Although all the members of the fam
lily knew that he brooded much upon
his illness and inability to recover
his strength. none thought that he
contemplated ending his life.
"The one bullet was Immediately
fatal. Police Surgeon McGillivary was
called, but his services were needed
only for the distracted mother and
wife.
THE widow was seriously affected
by her husbands death and two ply
sicians were required to attend her.
THE unfortunate man is survived
by a sister, May, 19 years of age.
and a brother, Charles, II years of
age; besides his wife, child and par
ents."

Central Is being entertained by q
company Of artists in the personnel
of the Kempton Komedy Kompany
this week. Extremely modest in their
pretensions, for dramatic troupe,
they win their way to the hearts OF
the people by sheer force of ability
rather than eulogistic press notices
or red linked posters. Altogether 1t
is the best balanced company seen
in Central for years. Even In the
smaller parts, there is the same
carefulness of Interpretation and no
detail seems too small to admit Of
other than conscientious and pain
stalking effort. The writer has wit
messed only one play, the Offering Of
Tuesday evening entitled, More to
be Pitied Than Scorned." Frankly
speaking the play was weak in plot
and absurd in spots and in the hands
of less clever people would certain
ly have deserved the hook" How
ever the faulty construction of the
piece was completely lost in admira.
tion Of the artistic Interpretation of
the players. With better vehicle for
the talent displayed we see no rea-
son why this excellent company
should not score heavily with the
most metropolitan audience.
Without detracting in the least
from the merits of the other mem
bers of an all-star cast we wish to
voice word of appreciation for the
work of Mr.. Clare Hatton. After see-
ing the proverbial stage villain,
always portrayed as an antithises OF
humanity, with the ever present rant
and hiss. 1t was refreshing indeed
to find an actor. with the good sense
to interpret this much abused part
with the ease and grace. OF the brill
liant and accomplished rascal, who
all too readily finds a place In the
real life of today. While instructive
ly despising actions and motives. the
real villain is attractive II not low.
able. Mr.. Hatton in acting this part,
so naturally made his way into the
good graces of his victims, that 1t
for once became easy to determine
how he captured hearts. IL only to
break them. Ordinarily one is caused
to wonder how anything with COM
mon sense could possibly be deciev-
I'd by the Vaccinations Of the loud
mouthed vulgar monstrosity that
strides across the stage as the "Vil-
lain" in the usual ten twenty and
thirty melo-drama Of today. The other
members Of the company will receive
their due measure OF praise in an
other article but the work Of Mr..
Hatton is 30 exceptional and refresh
ing to this long suffering scribe, that
our readers will pardon exclusive
mention Of the enviable attainments
of this sterling actor

For nearly fifty years has the ques
tion of ore treatment been agitated
IN Colorado. In the earlier periods
when the rich surface ore readily
yielded to fire treatment, but little
attention was given to other methods
outside of the smelling process. But
as these surface deposits of rich ore
easy of extraction and treatment be-
gan to vanish and the miner was com
PEELED to delve into deeper subter-
fanean zones tor new ore bodies it
was found that in many cases not
only did the values decline but that
The character of the ore be. ame more
refractory which of necessity, under
the older methods of treatment meant
incr eased costs of reduction. 1t was
found that to ship to the ordinary
smelter meant almost, if not a com
plete absorption of all values through
the combined agencies of the exor-
Ditant smelter and freight rates. The
great smelter magnates of the coun-
try were quick to realize this condi-
ton and the Smelter Trust sprang
into existence. 1t soon entered the
mining field under another name and
in very short period had the en-
tire state at its mercy. We are not
free from it yet, although somewhat
relieved from former conditions, but
the day of absolute deliverance seems
to be close at hand. Realizing that
in order to gain any profit from this
mining investment some new process
must be introduced to augment, /.
not supplant the older methods, ana
the mine owners Of the various dis
tricts began studying the characters
tics of their veins and deposits witt
that end in view. The concentration
mill was next to follow, but immedi
ately up went the freight and smelter
rates, graded on that class of pro.
duction and coupling this with the
loss through shines and other agence.
the relief expected did not matera-
lie. In the meantime many other
methods were tried, but without any
appreciable benefit until cyanidation
was successfully applied to the ores
of Cripple Creek, Telluride and few
other camps. But the refractory ore
would not yield to its influences and
they still remained for the Trust to
prey on. This condition gave the ex-
pert chemist and metallurgist some
thing to think about and he began
to study and experiment, with the
result that according to recent tests
several new methods Of ore treat
ment have been launched and their
practicability determined and estab-
lished beyond all measure of doubt
or pessimism. Surely some one of
these methods is adaptable to San
Juan ores, and immediate steps
should be taken through organiza,
ton to ascertain which, and then
proceed to install plant for the
treatment Of our lower grade and
thus, by our emancipation from the
grasp of the Smelter Trust, build
up a greater San Juan and make it
as it should be the greatest and
most enduring mining section on
earth. The latest and evidently the
most important methods of ore treat
ment, is that recently tested most
thoroughly by P. R. Alsdorf and NJ.

Primitive PhiIosophy.

Animism is the name of theory
originally propounded by Stahl, about
1907. 1t asserts that the soul is the
vital principle and only cause Of life,
and that the functions of plant and
animal life depend upon this principle
of vitality, and not mere mechanical
and chemical action. AS the word is
now used, 1t denotes the general doe
trine of spiritual beings. 1t is not
itself a religion, but sort of primi
tive philosophy.
