PLANS PERFECTED FOR STARCH
FACTORY BUILDING TO START

moters OF the institution that the
method decided upon for getting
potatoes will have the effect OF IN
creasing the earnings OF the farmers
Of the county.
The plant will cost 100000, and
will have double the output of the
former factory. The farmers who
supply the factory with potato culls
will be made stockholders. Instead
of being paid for their potatoes, the
profits from the sale of the manu-
factured starch will be divided
among them at the end of each year
in proportion to the amount of pota-
ties furnished by each.
The burned factory had an out
put of five tons daily. and the new
factory will manufacture from ten
to twelve tons. But for the fire the
farmers would have realized from
$50. 900 to $4,000 for stuff they
supplied to the factory last year bS
the cooperative plan they will real
ize nearly twice as much.

SMALL BOY AND
DYNAMITE CAP
USUAL RESULT
YOungster Loses -Four Fingers as Re
suit Of ExplOsi0n-Wss Playing
Near Milton Reservoir at
Time OF Accident

Especial to the Tribune)
LaSalle, May 24.-Playing with a
dynamite cap has cost Jacob Oster,
the 10-year1old son of G. J. Oster, a
farmer living nine miles from La
Sale the loss of four fingers.
Yesterday morning while playing
around the Milton reservoir the boy
picked up the dynamite cap. He
wanted to see how much noise it
would make and struck it with a
stone. In the explosion that follow
ed three fingers on his right hand
were torn off and one finger on his
left hand SO badly injured that it
had to be amputated at the joint.
Men working around at the res
ervoir heard the explosion and rush
ed to the boy whom they found un-
conscious on the ground 1t was
thought he was dead. After he was
revived he was carried to his home
and a physician summoned.
In the afternoon he was taken in
an automobile to the Greeley hos
pital. 1t was at first thought neces-
sary to amputate the right hand.
There is no danger of tetanus, the
doctors say.

carry him to the nearest coast town.
MIR. Walters has been in the hlon-

five trips to Weld county to see his
nephew who owns property north
of Eaton.
"a great many of the miners are

WISE MIkE'' FITS
 GOLD IN THE ROCK

According to the reports brought in by recent arrivals from Fair banks, that city is having quartz revival that threatens to make them all milionaires before the win'er is over. With the operation of the ten stamp mill at Cinema, which is supposed to be nuder way at this time, they figured cn a large daily output of gold, and from the charac- ter of some of the rock recently mi!lcd in the old test mill, they will not be disappointed,
 Wise Mike Stepovich created the latest sensation when he brought in some rock from his new dis covery on Bed Rock creek. Out of two and quarter tons of rock, he recovered brick of gold worth $7o5, and it was generally admitted that much of the values were lost on account of incomplete milling facilities.
 The Cinema mill should recover most of the values, since it has a concentrator, and better facilities for handling the grade of ore found in the Fairbank $ district. There is enough ore on the dumps at the various mines to keep this mill going all winter, and the output can be nothing but considerable.
