NJ CONSTRUCTION IN BOX CANYON AT
 THIS TIME

The extensive grading outfit which has just completed work on Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific railroad and which is now stationed at Fairbanks, will not begin construction work on the Box canyon cutoff, according to statements made yesterday by J. c.

 ''I am of the opinion that the outfit will disband at once. There can be nc work on the Box canyon line until the necessary right of way can be secured from the department of the interior and just when this matter will receive attention is a matter of conjecture. ''

Special to Silver Belt
 SAFFORD, Ariz., March 10.- Should the city council of Stafford act favorably on a proposition now before it, Stafford may in the near future be supplied with modern waterworks and electric light plant, and enjoy the use of these modern utilities at a reason able cost
 On former visit to Stafford of s. S. Campbell of Boston, president of the Lone Star Mining company, he was in duced to look into the business project of supplying mountain water and cleo tric lights to the town of Stafford. In company with J. J. Birdno, he visited Frye canyon and took photographs of the streams and most promising sites for reservoirs.
 When he returned east he succeeded in interesting capital to take hold of the venture and brought back with him enlarged copies of the views taken in the mountains, which are now eX- hibited here.
 A special meeting of the city council was called last evening for the pur- pose of drawing up an ordinance grant ing franchise for waterworks and electric lighting plant to s. s. Camp bell and associates.
 Some discussion of the subject fol lowed, but it was decided to lay the matter over until clock this after. noon when special meeting will be held
 In his request for franchise, Mir Campbell guarantees to furnish water at a maximum price of $500 per house per month and $l.00 for a fftyfOot lot For electric light, three quarters of a cent per light of sixteen candle power per hour.

AN IMPORTANT UNDERTAKING.

The article last week on the sub
ject How Aid Could be Rendered
Mining" was received with consider
able favorable comment. 1t was in
spired by the proposed action of the
American Mining Congress with head
quarters at 1910 Court Place, Denver.
The subject has been agitated for
some time and eliminated in a meet
ing held Wednesday the 18th.
To many this subject will be
surprise, for it was not thought that
the mining industry needed help in
the way of boosting and 1t was not
guessed that it had in any way fallen
off, not to the extent Of its being
generally noticed. However, as the
subject has been brought to public
notice and something likely to come
out of the meeting, those interested
will wonder what action is necessary
or what will be done in the matter.
Secretary Calbrath of the Mining
Congress said:
Mining has always been the basis
of the commercial prosperity Of Colo
RADIO, and will continue to be the
states chief industry. Bad mining
conditions are sure to be followed by
industrial s.agnation in other lines,
and If the people of Colorado wish to
avoid recurring business depression
they should use every effort to stim-
u!ate the development Of our i'm
mense mineral resources. When min
ing is prosperous the whole state is
prosperous.
THE importance of mining in this
state is attested by the fact that
the industry employees more workmen
than all other industries combined. A
recent report issued by the state
bureau of labor places the number of
workmen toiling in Colorado's indus
tries at $1,000. OF this number more
than $4,000 are employed in the
mines, mills, smel:ers, etc. Then,
too, the general average of wages
paid to mine workmen is higher than
that Of other industries.
The meeting OF mining men which
we have called for July 13. it is
hoped, will devise plans to give sub
stantial assistance to the mineral in
dustry, and stimulate investment in
mining enterprises. 1t is evident that
the eastern investing classes are in
vesting heavily in western mines but
Colorado Is getting far less than its
share of this capital"

JAKE, THE HERMIT, DIES.

Jake Crowel, the hermit who had
lived nearly half century in lone
ly hovel at Cottonwood, died Monday
morning sometime between the hours
of four and seven O'Clock. John F.
Davis, gulch miner, living close to
Jake, was at the latter's cabin at
O'Clock and talked with Crowel. He
went away and returned again at
seven and found the old man dead.
Coroner Hamllik was notified and
brought the body to Central Monday
afternoon. The remains were inferred
Tuesday morning in the city ceme-
terry.
Jake Crowel was born in West Vir-
ginia in May 1S41, which would make
him 50 years of age. Before he reach
ed his majority he drifted west and
located at Cottonwood. Here he took
up a number Of placer claims and by
placer mining managed to extract
enough gold from the sand to enable
him to live. OF late years he has suf-
fered with cancer, which was rapid
ly eating away the face, and which
eventually caused his death. He has
been a county charge for several
years and year ago the commits
sioners concluded the best thing to
be done with the old man was to
send him to hospital in Denver.He
was taken to Denver but as soon as
the opportunity Offered, escaped from
the hospital, made his way on the
electric to Golden and from there
walked back to Cottonwood. He
pleaded piteously to be permitted to
remain at Cottonwood and the COM
missioners granted his wish.
Several months ago the old shack
which had sheltered him for years
caught fire by spark from pass
ing engine and burned to the ground.
What little the old man had in the
way Of papers or records of any kind
were destroyed in the fire and Coro-
ner Hamillik was unable to find any
thing that would give him any infor-

A PROBLEM TO SOLVE.

A good many things, it is said, are
needed to aid the producers of min
eral. The mining man will state that
the first and foremost is plenty ore;
and it need not be high grade. The
good properties of Gilpin have an
abundance Of forty dollar ore, or,
from say twenty up. But for some
reason properties able to furnish ore
of the twenty class or less,
seem unable to make a success of
the property. AS stated before other
sections can make a profit off of 81
ore. What is the reason of this diver
gence?
Mining costs no more. Smelter and
railroad charges are probably to
blame. Those in the business of min
ing here ought to know what is
wrong. Such a thing has happened as
"hold-ups." Possibly it is that. The
man with the mine is at the mercy
of the railroads and smelter. A mill
at the mine ought to solve the prob
lem. Still one can see many wrecks
had its own mill yet failed. What is
the reason? To one on the ground it
would seem that a cheap and sue
cessful treatment has not been found.
1t is singular that after all these
years the mines here should still be
well thought of by mining men. There
are many parts of the country where
mining has actually come to a stand
still. These were old-time camps with
records. The mines have ceased to
produce because of the lowering of
the grade or they are worked out. 1t
is not so here. Depth it was thought
would aid matters. The big tunnel
has proven many things and proper
ties are connecting with its workings
and seem to prove beneficial in most
instances.
There is no want of interest, only
people are not going into mining with
years ago. There are counter attrac-
tions.
1t is not saying that the people
who have forsaken mining have made
a mistake. Probably they will find it
out
With silver, gold, copper and lead
in an ore, these having been saved
/ should prove a better investment
than any other enterprise. Yet while
this may be the quaifty The miner
does not s=em able to make it pay.
Lead ore alone has proven a profit
I maker and ores of copper, too. Here
, they have the four with zinc added,
and still little or nothing doing COM
pared with what should be done. 1t
is too bad that Gilpin county ores
are not better understood. Such
situation would wreck many another
camp, but the mines and the men
back of them are of the staying kind
and the combination should work ad-
vantageous'y.
