INSTALLING CYANIDE PLANT

The Forest City Mining company
the owner of the Clara Belle mine 81,
mites southeast of Hill City, has beer
for some time past prospecting sue
cessful operations In both its mine
and mill and is now engaged in In
creasing the capacity and efficiency OF
its plant by the installation of a eva
nide annex for the treatment of tail
ings. This work, it is expected, viii
be completed within ten days.
The value Of the ore being rur
averages from $S to $40 per ton anc
about so per cent of this is free gold
In the higher grade ore taken from
the same vein, the value of the re
fractory portion in dollars and cents
remains about the same, while I
amount of free gold increases, but as
the material treated, day in and day
out, has a value of about So 1t is es
timated that with an amalgamatior
system alone in use, they are losing
approximately so per cent of the
| value.
The ore is being taken from the
| 25O-foot level where the vein was
struck some time ago after consider
able prospecting. They have run {
header to the end of the shoot to the
north, distance of about 60 feet
from the crosscut and are now ready
to commence stopping. Thus far they
have been able to take out sufficient
ore to keep one shift working in the
ten-stamp mill, but should be able tt
keep the stamps dropping continu
ously when the stopping is in prof
ress. 1t is the intention to sink an
other 100 feet in the near future anG
it is also probable that the capacity
of the mill will be increased so that
they can profitably handle a lowe
grade Of ore.--Deadwood Pioneer

14-foot vein of milling ore of the freex
god variety and it is the intention
to sink another 100 feet, before any

BY the time this latter work is well
under way, the erection of the mill
on the company's ground on Slate
creek, southeast of Mystic, will be
undertaken. On this property In the
meantime additional Development

which has been opened in tunnel
500 feet below the outcrop, will be in
shape for supplying the reduction

CONDUCTOR SAVES A TRAIN.
Swings Aboard caboose and Warns
Oncomins Flyer, Heavily Loaded.

Conductor William Mccoy of the
Denver & Rio Grande road Is the hero
of a thrilling ride over LeVeta pass.
Boarding runaway caboose as II
passed Walsenburg station, going at
the rate Of 20 miles an hour and gain
Ing momentum every moment, he
saved a passenger train from wreck.
Mccoy was in the depot when he
heard the sound of the approaching
car. Thinking part of the train which
he had come in on, and which he had
left to be switched, had broken. loose,
he ran out and saw the caboose com.
Ing down the track. Quick as thought
he remembered that passenger train
was coming in within few minutes
and that the flying caboose was on the
same track.
He took his life in his hands and
swung on to the runaway car. He
tried to put on the brakes, but was
unable to. Something had given way,
which accounted for the car breaking
loose. At the same instant that he
learned Of the brakes failure to work
he saw the distant light of the passen-
ger train coming up the divide.
In brief second he had taken the
lantern from the rear of the caboose
and was madly signaling the oncom-
ing train.
Engineer Henthorne Of the passen-
ger train saw the signals. stopped his
train and began to back up with all
possible speed.
The wild caboose gained on the en-
gine as both neared the junction, but
the train reached safety in time for a
brakeman to jump off and throw the
switch, permitting .he caboose to take
the toward Trinidad.
On the Y track it soon struck the
heavy grade on Tuna hill and stopped.
The passengers on the train did not
know the danger until it was all over.
Then they realized that only the pres.
ence of mind Of Conductor Mccoy and
the prompt action of Engineer Hen
thorne had prevented what would prob
ably have been severe disaster.

WHEELER BUILT
PALMER HOME

Ii is not likely that many people
in Grand Junction knew that the late
Danforth n. Wheeler. the Grand juno
ton pioneer, built Gen. W. j. Palm
er's first home at Glen Eyrie, Colo
RADIO Springs. The following is from
the Colorado Springs Gazette:
Word was received in Colorado
Springs yesterday of the death of
Danforth n. Wheeler. one of the pi-
oneer residents of this city, in Grand
Junction, where he had made his
home for some years. He was 6S
years of age.
MIR. Wheeler came here in the early
seventies. and for many years was
well known as "A carpenter and build
ing contractor. He built the late
General William }. Palmcr's first
home at Glen Eyrie, and also helped
to erect the old First Baptist and
First Presbyterian churches, both of
which have since been replaced by
larger buildings. Later he ngaged
in photography and in the eighties
finally left Colorado Springs, going to
Kansas. Ii was only short time,
however, before he returned to Colo
Junction, where he engaged in fruit
raising.
He leaves brother, r. T.. Wheeler
of 211 North Washsatch avenue, this

Prospectors throughout Idaho are

lost mines" of the West has Just
been relocated, For thirty years
there has been a tradition of sheep

samples of quartz yellow with free
gold and told his friends of great
ledge from which the samples were
taken. Starting back alone he dis
appeared and was never heard of
again. The finding of skeleton re-
Gently in the region where the sheep
herder ranged caused a revival of the
story and a renewed search for the
storied ledge. The search has been
successful. d. A. Bourne. one of the
pioneer discoverers, has returned
from the Bruneau and gives details
of the developments there. He says
the ore is tellurium and carries
values as high as $4,000 to the ton.

NEGROES IN EXPLORATION.

Matthew Henson, the negro who accompanied Peary to the North Pole. is only the last of a long line Of ne sroes who must be credited by impar- tial history in the exploration and discovery of America, says The New York Sun. On our last really import ant expedition. that of Fremont into the West in lS43, free young negro accompanied the expedition. and, ac- cording to the Georgia commander himself. performed his duty manfully throughout" Capt. Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition to oregon in 1905 and 1906, had a fearless and re- sourceful negro with him. after whom they named Works dry river. now Cus- ter creek. in the Yellowstone.
 Daniel Boone had some negroes with him on his expeditions and on his settlement of Kentucky in 1774. The Iamented Dean Shaler in his history of Kentucky says: "A negro servant was killed: Capt. Wetty. one of the leaders of the party, was killed, and a young man, Felix Walker, was wounded in the first engagement be- tween whites and Indians on Ken lucky soil" Esteyan, if not the only. the greatest negro name in American discovery, discovered Cibola, the land of the Zulu Indians, now New Mexico in 1859 Many histories credit Cabeza de Vaca with this discovery. which both CorteZ and Coronado had vainly sought. and in which the negro pio- neer lost his life, but Bandelier has shown quite conclusiyely that De Vaca never saw New Mexico. and that he was absent from the country at the time.
 Three hundred negroes accompanied Cortez in 1922 on his celebrated eS- petition in Central and South America according to George Parker Winship The same author tells of the negroes who accompanied Coronado on his i'm portant and difficult expedition to Kansas A negro slave on Coronado's expedition of 1540 was the only man in the country whom Hernando de Alarcon could induce to carry a mes- sage across the hostile Indian coun- try to Coronado in New Mexico ir 1540. Capt. Arrelano, who discovered the ocean route across the Pacific tC America in l564-66 had his vesse 'steered by mulattO pilot" accord ing to Professor Chamberland in the American Anthropologists.

THE REAL BUSINESS
 OF 4 PICTURE FRAME
Not Merely to Contain Picture, but
 to Improve It.

IL is one thing to put a frame on picture and another to put a picture into a frame Anybody can perform the latter feat, but il takes an expert. one trained to the business. to frame a picture There is one place in town where this is properly done that is at Balke's Big Curio store. Even an eN- pert could not always succeed unless he had a great variety of mouldings to choose from, but at the Big Curio store there is the needed variety-one thousand different kinds. That is not too many. for there are more than one thousand pictures that need different treatment.
 The best recommendation of the work done at the Big Curio store is that no picture ever taken there has afterward been taken any place for reframing. The owner may not be trained in art, but he knows when he sees the framed picture that something has been done to it that makes il just right.
 On the contrary, many pictures are brought to the Big Curio store for re- framing, though they have lately been treated elsewhere. The owner is dis satisfied: he may not know quite why. but. somehow. the frame does not seem to fit The picture does not look as well as it did before treatment. The effect has been disappointing The
Arizona republican., 1909-10-30

frame has depreciated the value of thu picture. whereas it should have en- hanced il.
 Thus it is shown that the mere join ing of a moulding into a frame does not constitute framing. Any good car penter can do that. but no man who has not made a study of it can make a frame that he knows will be suitable to a picture; if he should succeed, it would be an accident. and people do not want to pay money with only a chance of getting its worth.
