When to Market Lambs.

Many farmers who are beginning n
the sheep business have lambs COM
ing in March and April, and it is we'll
to consider just how to handle these
lambs in order to make the greatest
profit.
The eve lambs will, for the most
part, be kept over for breeding pur-
poses. The wether lambs will all be
sold within twelve months. The prob
lem is whether to push these forward
and sell them on the early market,
say June, July Or August, OF TO keep
them through till Christmas. Janu-

upon the remarkable increase of ST.
Driety in the city. Apprenensions for
drunkenness totalled 14,167, a de-

While lack of money has no doubt
contributed to increased sobriety, the

growth of temperance has been
great factor. A great deal of money
has been spent on amusements, which
was just as available for spending IN

MOON GULcH ROAD.

County Commissioners Joseph Bcr-
zago, C. o. Richards and John Stew
ems, and County Clerk F. ]. Altvater
made a trip to Denver Tuesday to
see the state engineer about the
Moon gulch road. The contract for
Saturday of last week to Blake and
Pyle for S2400.00. The state appro-
priation called for $1,000 less than
this amount-at least there is $1400
in the fund, and the state engineer
said the county commissioners were
to furnish the $1,000 to make the
$2400, or the $14OO would revert back
into the general funds. This Is what
the commissioners went down to see
about. They had not agreed to give
any $1,000, and were certain that the
appropriation would not be cancelled
IL they could prevent it. What the
commissioners wanted was for the
state to get bids for the construction
of the road in sections and spend the
$14OO. Another appropriation could be
put through the legislature to finish
the road.
The commissioners saw the attor-
ney general and put the matter up
to him. The governor was called in
to consultation and it was agreed
that according to the statute, the
appropriation had to be spent and
could not be turned back into the
treasury. So the state engineer has
determined to call for bids and let
the road be built in sections, or as
much done as the $14O0 will permit.
In this issue call is made for bids
to be submitted on or before the 1st
OF October. 1t now appears that there
is some likelihood of work being
started on this much discussed road
ere snow flies.

EUREKA MINE VISITORS.

icy of The company was outlined for
the coming year.
The condition of the mine and the
results obtained from the new pro-
cess mill are highly gratifying to the
board. The mill was started Monday
after a shutdown of several weeks,
while the foundations under the
stamps were being rebuilt, and ad-
justments necessary to new plant
were being made. Everything is now
running in first-class shape and the
saving is very satisfactory.
At the mine there are over 200
tons of dirt in the dump and the
plats and stulls in the workings are
filled with good ore. The supply for
the mill IS being taken from the
mine, and the dump dirt will not be
run through until the ore that is
broken in the mine has been treated.

FORBES RICHARD INJURED.

teenth avenue, a prominent mining
engineer Of Denver, narrowly escap-
ed serious injury when he was struck
by Fairmount car at the corner of
Colfax avenue and Josephine street
at s o'clock last night. The abrupt
halt made by the motorman prevent
ed serious accident.
AS it was, both of Mr.. Rickard's IS
ankles were sprained. his head bruis-
ed and his hands and arms skinned
in several places. He was taken to
his home in a passing carriage and
his injuries dressed. He will be con-
fined to his home for several days
1t is not thought that he is Internal
ly hurt and no serious developments
are expected.
The acciednt occurred as Mr.. Rick
ard was crossing Colfax avenue on
Josephine street. An outbound Colfax
car. having the right Of way, was
passing. AS soon as the rear end
passed him, Mr.. Rickard stepped
across the track directly In front OF
an inbound Fairmount car which was
moving slowly for the crossing. The
motorman OF the car applied his
brakes and reversed his current, the
fender dropping automatically, but
striking Mr.. Rickard and tossing him
to one side before the car could be
stopped.
The injured man lay stunned for a
few minutes and 1t was thought that
he was badly injured. He recovered
shortly and with assistance climbed

THEN AND NOW.

At the mining meeting in Denver
last week much was made Of the cir
cumstance that profit could be re.
turned from three-dollar ore; that the
time was when only one hundred dol.
lar ore could be mined at a profit.
There is something about that ar
gument that must strike the reader
with the force of surprise. The in.
ference conveyed would be that there
is no longer ore of the higher value
and that only low-grade stuff is pro-
duced and treated.
What a farce. There are better,
richer and more mines than former
ly. Think Of the immense profits then
that should be returned now to the
owner of one hundred dollar ore. The
hundred dollar ore, according to the
assertion, did not return profit of
more than is realized on low-grade
ore today. The hundred dollar ore be-
ing no less refractory than the low
grade should prove bonanza to the
owner Of highgrade proposition.
According to this, the profits to
the miner should be enormous CON-
pared with other days. With such a
state of affairs it is surprise that
mining is not carried on with great
er zest. Every mining section should
be alive with men, knowing that
science has reduced the cost Of treat
ment till it seems that the cost
should be only that of labor.
1t cannot be that the grade Of ore
has fallen. Rather the low-grade Is
generally more easily handled or
treated and of greater abundance.
Give the experienced mining man his
choice and he will always prefer
abundance of ore of a low-grade than
occasional punches of high-grade min
eral.
But the argument OF the great re-
ores should open the eyes of the un-
initiated. This ought to call out great
er activity all along the line. The
wise have fully awakened to the con-
ditions and are taking every advan-
tage of the situation. When fully
realized it is bound to produce great
er activity than ever. And IL Central
and vicinity does not gain by this II
will be because it is Disseminated
against and not that the mineral is
not to be had. There is no better
showing anywhere and Of an ore that
is not all lowgrade by any means.
The conditions once generally
known, greater activity than ever will
be shown. The fall and winter should
see the beginning of the revival OF
mining. If signs do no fail 1t is al
ready observed. for the big mining
men have already become possessed
Of the idea that the industry has a
great deal to offer in the way Of big
returns compared with past results
