by correspondent TO tell her some
thing about the accommodations in
Denver for colored consumptives. On
making several inquiries the editor
learned that the accommodations are
few. far apart. and very unsatisfac-
tory. Since the correspondent is a
constant reader It was thought best
to answer through the columns of The
Statesman.
The list OF rooming houses opening
their doors to consumptives is not
very large. In common with other
people the roomers, who are well and
are working, object to the presence
Of the unfortunate consumptiyes, and
for the purpose OF retaining the reg.
ular tenants admission Is denied the
consump,ives Some other houses do
not refuse the consumptiyes. These
usually contain one or two rooms that
are small and bady yegtilated and
poorly lighted. The consumptyes are
not boarded and must 20 to the res.
taurants downtown. No matter how
disarreeable the weather may be they
must face Il two or three times a day
TO get anything TO eat The food is
generally not the kind that is best for
them.
In different parts OF the city there
are private families that receive these
sick people The housekeepers pro
vide all the comforts and necessities
that they are able to buy. The high
cost Of food products bears hard on
these landladles and some are com
pelled to close their dining rooms, and
let the rooms be occupied by these
sick ones. This arrangement Is deul'
mental to the improvement OF the
sick. Some families can manage by
high charges to room and board these
people as long as they have the
money TO pay the charges. This is
good as long as the money holds out
Everyone knows that our visiting SICK
have limited means and come to Den
yer with the expectation that after a
few weeks here they will be strong
enough TO find Job and earn living
They soon find out that their recov-
cry Is slow one and that their
money is gone before they are able to
work. And because SO many have re-
ceiyed credit at the hands OF these
housekeepers and have never paid
anything, the experienced ones are no
longer opening their doors to the con-
sumptiyes.
We almost forgot TO say that the
private hospitals and sanitoriums do
not admit colored patients. They say
that on account Of the prejudice OF
their white patients they find IT nee.
essary TO refuse colored.
Some weeks ago a few of our col.
ored men and women organized the
Lincoln Douglass Sanatorium. We
have been told that they are trying
to raise enough money from the citi.
zens TO purchase n suitable building
where our cousumptiye sick may be
properly housed and receive the hy-
gienic and medical care that they
should have in order to regain their
health. We have been told that the
Sanatorium will not be conducted for
profit, but for the purpose OF provid-
ing home for the tubercular sick.
We think the citizens should encour-
age this movement We throw away
enough money TO build and maintain

GUAYNOPh CAMP
DIR. W. B. Phillips Says
There Are Three Glasses
of Minerals There.

Dr. W. B. Phillips, of Austin, Texas,
director of the bureau of economic ge-
ology of the university of Texas, has
returned from a trip to the jiuaynOpa
m ming district, in the western Part OF
the state of chihuahua. His special mis-
sion was an investigator of the Caro-
lima and other mining properties in the
Vicinity of Hasendta creek, tributary
OF the Rio Aros, as the headwaters of
the YaqM river are locally called. He
also exam ned the Cinco de Mayo, Tres
Amegos and Utah properties
Three Classes of Minerals.
THE mines of Guaynopa," says DR..
Phillips, contain three classes of min
erals: First, silver-lead; second, gold
bearing quartz; third, gold bearing
copper All the copper ores at the sur
face in that camp, where they have
been oxidized, show free gold some
times running several ounces per ton.
In fact, one particular feature Of that
district is that 1t shows gold in all sur
face ores. 1 made continuous paintings
for tree days, and never failed to get
co.rrs of gold.

The canyons have cut the formation in
places to great depth, for instance, as
deep IS $500 feet. These have exposed
the outcroppings of the veins, and the
exploration work has mostly been done
in the canyons. There Is a great deal

Plenty of Water.
"a feature of especial note is the
plentiful water supply in these noun
tatns, suitable for water power. For in
stance, in the Hasendita creek there is
a fall Of geo feet. The Arcs river,
which flows within three miles of the
heart of the district, offers great sites
for power plants, and there will be no
difficulty to generate and transport
abundant electrical powers for all min
ing operations. 1t is certainly a very
promising mining country.

CARDINALS VS.. ALEXANDRIA
ATHLETICS.

The final game between the Card
inals and Alexandria Athletics to be
played on the North Alfred street
grounds tomorrow at 4 O'Clock is
certain to excel any baseball contest
ever witnessed by the admirers OF
these young athletes. The saying that
practice makes perfect no doubt is
true in every respect, and will be fully
demonstrated when these lads are in
action on the diamond for the ending
OF the baseball season in this city for
the year 1910. The wise heads OF both
teams claim to have many surprises
in store for their opponents, and,
Judging from the hard work that their
star batteries have been indulging in
during the past week and the earnest
practice OF all the players for their
respective clubs, there will be no dull
moments during the afternoon rs the
game may run into extra innings be-
fore the championship is won. A
large crowd is expected to be present
to help their favorities on to victory
by cheering words and timely sug-
gestions. Ladies are respectfully in
yited to attend the closing game as the
special guests OF the Cardinals and
Alexandria Athletics. The batteries
will probably be as follows: Cardinals
Patterson and Pitts; Alexandria
Athletics-Sullivan and Burrell or
Miller.
