kLIEN.GERMAN WILL
START FIRST OF YEAR.

j. M. Meeks and ]. F. O'Neil, OF
Denver, and Henri Morand, of New
York, interested in the Klien-German,
were visitors to the property Sunday
to arrange for the resumption Of
work, which they expect to start by
the first of the year. The property
has been idle few months and was
left in such condition that it can be
placed in readiness for operation
within the short space of a day.
When work was suspended between
800 and 1000 tons of ore were left
broken in the workings. This runs
from $500 to $12, to the ton, being
Of milling grade. They have a
smelling streak that varies in width
from 4 to 1S inches, which averages
about 2 ounces gold to the ton.
The Klien-German people have been
awaiting the completion of the mill
Of the Denver NJ. & r. company, to
which they will ship their product.
This mill will be finished and in op-
Grafton by the first of next month.
For the past two weeks men have
been rushing the finishing work and
all that remains to be done Is the as
sembling of two jigs and the con-
struction of IS feet of ore bins on the
outside Of the building.
Before suspending work on their
property, the Klien-German operators
made test run of 25 tons of dirt
through the mill, before the entire
equipment which the Denver NJ. & R.
company plant now has was installed
and the result was a product Of six
tons of concentrates that ran s27.80
to the ton. The raw material assayed
$3.50 to the ton in gold, silver and
copper. This run with the new equip
ment would require five hours, and
with the added proficiency of the plant
it can readily be seen the large prof
its that will accure to the operators
of the Klien-German through a steady
output from their property.

PLANS OF euNNELL COMPANY.

|
| Apparently George E. Collins, con-
sulting engineer Of the Newhouse tun-
mel, is a more ready talker for pub
lication when he Is in Idaho Springs
than he is when in Central. On his
visits here when asked for an in
terview for the papers, he always
manages to have some excuse for
declining to talk, but when in the
neighboring town he not anly appears
In very laxative mood but seeks
the editor that he may unbosom him
self for publication.
Last week he told the editor Of the
Idaho Springs Miner all about the
plans Of the Newhouse people so for
as they effected the tunnel and the
Gunnell mine. According to the Miner
he gave the following interview:
''The plans Of the Gunnell company
according to Mr.. Collins, differ mat
erially from the great majority of
the Gilpin county mine owners along
the line Of the tunnel in that they
comprise not only operation of the
Gunnell from the surface (by les
sees) but through the tunnel (by the
company The nature of the ore has
much to do with this, that in the sur
face workings being free milling and
yielding its values nicely in the COM
pany's mill at Black Hawk, which
comprises the old Gilpin county slow
drip process which has proved so
satisfactory on the surface ores OF
the two counties; in the tunnel, how
ever, which represents depth, the
ore is different, bringing in the prob
lem OF concentration. So the company
for some time has been shipping its
tunnel ores around to it's mill at
Black Hawk simply to thoroughly test
the values and the best process to
get the greatest percentage of those
values. to be followed by the erec-
tion Of suitable mill at the mouth
of the tunnel.
Pending these investigations, lat
erals on the Gunnell are being driven
east and west from thet unnel, open
ing new ground and ore reserves.
Later on, as soon as the workings
above are sufficiently drained Of wat
er to asps the danger point, raise
will be put up to connect with the
workings above and ventilation for
the entire length of the tunnel from
the portal to the Gunnell vein ~
-ne4ary five mifes@wfll be an accom-
plished fact and thew ay cleared for
the big bore to enlarge it's sphere of
usefulness, provided always, that it
is generally used, which brings one
back o the seemingly delicate prob
lem of satisfactory tolls for the diff
ferent mines en- route and dividends
for the tunnel company. The charges
for service by the tunnel people, Mr..
Collins stated, are uniform and based
upon the principle Of equal rights to
all-that is, the small operator is
charged no more and no less in pro-
portion than the big fellows. Mr.. Col
Inns. who claims to be the author Of
this schedule, says that in framing
it he was determined to avoid the
indictment so generally made against
the A. S. & R. company. that OF
favoring the big fellows"

At the Turner Hall?
Idaho girls said 1t was fate,
Our score was 16 to s.
Their boys had a plenty,
Our boys beat them 90 to 20.
The boys sure played fine.
We ought to hang sign
In the middle OF Main street,
Or else give them a treat
BY encouraging them on
With money or song.
Idaho was sore.
They said It was lore;
They asked for two more minutes,
But our boys went to their limits.
They started to play. with scowl
But they made two baskets and a foul
We had spectators enough
And we showed them the stuff
As we knew the old rule

Committee Told Pointedly That They

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
in Southern state says: my moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
Of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place. noticed
a somewhat peculiar favor Of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning It. He
replied that 1t was Postum. / was SO
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was
over, bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked 1t SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
diion, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of US.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
fly. but in a more marked degree in
the case Of my mother, as she was
victim of long standing"

REPUBLICANS WERE NOT THERE
BUT SIX MEMBERS OF BALLiNGER
COMMITTEE ATTEND MEETING.
This Was One Less Than a Quorum
Democrats Sign Report Prepared
Madison Presents Another.

Minneapolis, Minnesota. - Only six
members of the BallingerPinchot in
vestigating committee, one less than a
quorum, were present when the SEES
sion opened. Senator Sutherland of
Utah and two other Republican, Rep
resentative Sampel w. Mccall of
Massachusetts and Representative Ed
win DENLY of Michigan, refused to at
tend
The failure of these three members
Ito attend when the session was opened
was decided on, following the arrival
of Representative DENLY. Mr.. DENLY
had declared that the action of five
members who adopted a resolution
"wednesday of Representative Madison
of Kansas, an insurgent Republican,
which charged that Secretary Balm
ger was unfit and should be removed,
\, as the most extraordinary, indefen-
sible, and unjudicial that partisan poll
tics could devise"
In view of that he said it would be
absurd to meet with those members
when they had already promulgated
their decision.
Sutherland and Mccall took a sim
liar view and failed to put in an APP
pearance. Chairman Nelson was pres
ent, as was Mr.. Madison, and the meet
ing was regularly called to order. The
Democratic members in attendance
were Senator Purcell, North Dakota;
Senator Fletcher Florida ard Repre-
sentative Ollie NJ. James of Kentucky,
and Representative James NJ. Grahom
of Illinois.
Senator Root Of New York, Senator
Flint of California and Representative
Olmstead Of Pennsylvania are rot
here.
Soon after entering the committee
room, the Democratic members affixed
their signatures to their findings,
which condemn the actions of Mr.. Bal
linger as public officer and vindi-
cate Clifford Pinchot, ex-chief of the
forestry department.
Mr.. Madison prepared an independ.
ent report which favors Mr.. Pinchot,
and brought it to the committee room.

TO FOLLOW DINNER
SOME EXCELLENT IDEAS FOR
SUMMER DESSERT.
Apricot Charlotte One of the Best
Is Splendid Favored With Good
Blend of Tea-Lemon custard
Popular.

To vary the summer dessert course
some time, try apricot charlotte. This
Is worthwhile sweet that is not diff
ficult to do.
For 1t you must dissolve third of a
package Of gelatin in cold water and
add, after stirring, cup of boiling
water, also three-fourths of a cup of
sugar, Juice of one lemon and cup Of
apricot pulp from which all traces Of
stones and skin have been removed.
When 1t is cooled stir in a cup Of
stiffy whipped cream and put in the
icebox until cold, after which 1t is
ready to serve at any time.
Some day, for change, flavor the
gelatin with good blend of tea. Even
those who do not ordinarily care for
the cup that cheers are likely to fall
In love with. 1t in this form.
Soak two-thirds of two-ounce
package Of gelatin in enough cold
water to dissolve. Pour over this one
pint OF hot tea, made strong, add a
scant cupful of sugar and the Juice
OF two lemons. Strain and mold.
After cooling put on the ice to thor
oughly chill and serve with whipped
cream.
Cool jellies, rennets and frozen COM
pounds, that slip down easily and re-
fresh as they go, seem the ideal des-
serts for hot weather, but there are
always cool days when an oven dinner
is substituted for the usual cold one,
and for one Of these occasions blue
berry pudding is apt to figure, since
only IN summer are the piquant ber-
ries available. 4
A good way to make it is With
sauce, favored with a different fruit,
for instance, cherries.
Separate three eggs and beat. Add
the yolks to a cup of sugar creamed
with a tablespoonful of butter. Add
alternately flour and milk. The flour
should measure two cups and must
have three teaspoons of baking pow
der sifted in 1t. About cup of milk
Will be required. Flavor with a little
nutmeg and add more flour If neces-

cream you may use this very simple
