THE FRoNTENAc MINE.

This property is principally owned
tensive holdings contiguous to this
very much worked but still very good
mine To thoroughly explore its rami-
fications would require several hours,
but the time would be profitably
spent for the mine is in that shape
indicative OF good management. The
slopes and upraises seem endless.
The ore taken from this property
must have been extensive for on one
level alone there was over 900 feet
OF continuous stoped-out ground. The
vein width is from four to fifteen
feet with a large amount of broken
ore ready for the mill. Ore was block
ed out in places from five to eight
feet, fifty per cent of which was
mainder a good grade of mill ore;
the ore containing gold, silver, lead
and copper. The production of the
mine at present amounts to 10 to
rs tons per day of concentrating ore
which goes to the Iron City mill be-
low Black Hawk, hauled to that point
by the Gilpin county tram-cars; and
from ten to fifteen tons per day is
delivered to the Chamberlain samp-
Ter.
The improvements were accomplish
ed under the present management.
An electric plant has been installed
which is certainly as fine a thing in
its way to be found in any mine
equipment. The hoist is of 1O0-horse
power and is good for 1900 feet of
work The air compressor can work
fifteen air drills. The hoisting capa-
city is fifteen tons per hour. This
electric plant alone is well worth see
ing, the system is something won
derful in its operation yet seeming
ly very simple and with clock-work
precision.
The shaft house has an ore stor-
age capacity of 100 tons.An automatic
oontrivance dumps the ore from the
bucket as it comes from the shaft
onto an ore conveyor. This is oper-
ated so that while moving, the ore
can be sorted, the balance is run
out to shute that empties in the
tram cars, the refuse going to the
dump. This must be great saving
and cuts quite figure in the eco
nomy of mining. This conveyor has
a capacity of 20 to 80 tons per hour.
The shaft has an average incline
Of about seventy-five feet,is well tim
bered, with storage and loading pock-
cts at each level station.
This mine is in Willis gulch, one
and a half miles from Russell. The
Aduddell mine adjoins on the east
and is connected with the Frontenac,
and while no extensive operations
are being carried on. 1t can be work
ed in conjunction with the Frontenac.
If SO worked, 1t would have 5000 feet
of the vein from which to extract
ore. The connection Is made with the
seventh level Of the Frontenac and
the fourth level of the Aduddell. The
Frontenac fourth level is $50 feet
west Of the shaft; the fifth level S25
feet from the shaft; sixth, $50 feet;
and the seventh 600 feet from the
shaft. The depth of the main shaft
is over 800 feet and eight levels each
about ninety feet between; that H.,
1t permits stopping for that distance
II the ore is continuous. About sixty
thousand tons Of mill dirt were left
in the slopes by previous lessees Of
the property. The mine certainly
shows as fine looking lot Of ore as
one would care to see. Possibly this
very showing has lured many in the
hope Of uncovering high.grade ore
but the product is pretty uniform and

SPELLING IN THE OLD WAY
WHITE HOUSE CLERKS ARE
THROUGH WITH "THRU."
Likewise the Day of "Past" Has
Passed and ''Thoro" Is No
Longer Thorough.

The White House is through with
thru and all the rest of the simplified
words put into the executive vocabulary
by President Roosevelt. and the clerical
force of the highest governmental Office
has gone back to the good old English
of our fathers. For several weeks after
the Roosevelt regime was ended ,the
clerks and stenographers of the executive
offices would occasionally write Tho" for
though. past" for passed and "thoro"
for thorough, as they were required to
do under the administration that ended
March 4. These words would perhaps
be detected by some other clerk before
they reached the government printing Of
| flee, or, if they got as far as the G. P. O..
they would be caught and changed by the
proofreaders down there. None Of them
ever found their way into public print
after the Taft administration got we'll
into harness. and no one. except perhaps
some few Roosevelt enthusiasts, are left
to mourn their absence
thousands Of dollars will be saved
annually by the disuse of the smplified
speling'' said an official of the govern
ment printing office. 1T was the con-
tinual mix-up and eternal change that
cost SO much. For instance. the Pres;-
dent would send down a message written
in his peculiar abbreviated phonetic style.
we Woulu nave 10 set IL up as we got
the copy. In due time the message would
have to be printed in the Congressional
Record. and as Congress had passed a
law prohibiting the expenditure of any
money for the smplfied spelling, when
we put II in the Record had to spell
the words according to common usage
So the messages had to be set up all
over again, and as President Roosevelt
was not at all stingy with his communi-
cations there was plenty of work of that
sort to he done. Now thank Cpo6npSS
all the spelling that comes to the office
is alike

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. Mass, June To-day the
Wellesley College girls ushered in the
commencement gayeties by holding the
Tree-day pageant and depicting in the
most charming of Greek dances two
outdoor dramas.
Prominent in the festivities today were
two Washington girls. Miss Cathrene e.
PEBBLES. whose home is at 1449 N street
northwest, represented her class, the
freshman, in the me-honored custom of
receiving the spade from the sopho-
mores. This event was among the Tree
day exercises after the review of the
grand procession
Miss Susanna E. Amin of Washing
ton. daughter of Mrs. w. E. Amin,
Library of Congress. was one of the most
graceful of the dancers who depicted the
Greek festival scene. She was the fair
water nymph who was entangled by the
wood nymphs and imprisoned with ropes
of leaves. one of the most clever parts
of the senior dance drama.
Procession Of the Glasses.
The days display began with a long
procession of the classes. headed by the
seniors. Miss Amin and the other SEN
lots wore Ox1ord gowns over White
dresses, the juniors wore violet and car
ried parasols, the sophomores were ar
rayed in bright colors and freshmen wore
deep rose red. softened by the costumes
of the Greek dancers.
In and out. checkering the campus
moved the procession. then. drawing to-
ward the foot of the terrace. where the
guests had gathered, they listened to the
Tree day oratory.
The freshmen, garbed in motley array,
led the way to Rhodendro Hollow
Here the freshmen gave their dances
while the other students and guests
looked on. The dances were most i'm
pressive. and excelled in picture effect
and skill any previous work of this kind.
Greek Dances of the Seniors
Later in the day the senior girls Greek
dances took place on the Sreensward,
near Longfellow pond. These were most
charmingly and gracefully carried out.
The mistress of ceremonies recited the
story of the drama dance. As she moved
slowly away. the music of many wood
nymphs was heard. From the brow of
the hill other senior dancers trooped ar
rayed In many keys They carried gar
lands and wreaths. which they swung
