CYANIDE PLANT FOR THE SAN
JUAN COUNTRY.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SILVERTON, Aug. 14.--John T.
Milliken of the Golden Cycle company
which has been so successful in hand
ling Cripple Creek ore on a large
scale by the cyanide process, has been
investigating the cyanide possibilities
of ore in the San Juan. Tests recent
~ made by Root and Norton, assayera
Of Silverton, indicate high recovery
of the metal in ore of which there is
ar adequate supply to keep custom
cyanide plant in operation continually
One test on $11 ore from Ice Lake
basin showed saving of ninety-two
per cent of the gold and sixty-six per-
cent of the silver. On ore from the
Eastern Range carrying not quite half
an ounce in gold, about five ounces in
silver, the extraction was ninety three
percent of the total value. The ore
producers of San Juan county have
been assured that within short time
custom cyanide plant will be con-
structed near Silverton.
The Silver Ledge mill, near Chatta-
rooga, in San Juan county, has been
made more efficient with additional
equipment and will soon be ready to
continue operations with a greatly in
creased capacity. The ore in the Sill
yer Ledge is lead and zinc sulphide,
carrying from ten to twelve ounces in
silver and some gold. The ore concen-
trated and separated on Whitley ta-
bles. Of the two products made, one
carries forty-five percent zinc and the
other seventy percent lead. 1t is be-
lieved that the extraction and separ-
alton will both be improved in the new
mill.

Man Dies After
Lingering Illness

Yesterday morning after lingering
illness, Thomas Colmer, city clerk of
San Juan county, died at his resi-
dence in Silverton, from miners con-
sumption. Deceased was so well
known in the San Juan and so highly
respected as a man and citizen, that
his death will be generally regretted
He was DO years of age and had been
a resident of this section for the past
thirty years.
Mr.. Colmer was an Engl:shman by
birth, his native county being Corn
wall. He came to the Unicel States
while still youth, and about thirty
years ago located in Silverton, where
he reared his family, his wife and
five children, three daughters and two
sons, surviving him. The youngest
OF the family is boy of eleven years
One of the daughters, Mrs A. M. Reed,
is on her way from Los Angeles, Cal
and is expected to arrive on this ev-
cning's train. One daughter, lives
in Telluride, and the rest of the fam
lily are in Silverton.
Mr.. Colmer served as county as
SCISSOR for San Juan county for two
or three terms and was city clerk OF
Silverton at the time of his death.
He belonged to several orders, being
member of the Odd Fellows, the
knights of Pythias and Woodmen.
His many friends in this city and in
Silverton extend sympathy to the
family in their sorrow for the loss of
a devoted father and husband.
Wednesday afternoon funeral SER
vices will be held in Silverton, and
Thursday morning the remains will
be brought to Durango, where the
members of the Durango lodge of Odd
Fellows will meet the train and es-
cart the body to Greenmont ceme-
terry. There a short service will be
conducted by the Odd Fellows accord
ing to their ritual. Then all that is
mortal of kindly Thomas Colmer will
be consigned to earth, to rest be
side the brother who preceded him
few years ago.

LAURIERS OPENS CAMPAIGN.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 15.-With
confidence that the result will be ia
vorable to the cause for which liber-
alism stands in the present contest,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier journeyed to Sim
coe today to deliver his first platform
address in what promises to be the
hottest political fight Canada has
seen since the days of Sir John Mac
Donald and the National Policy. From
now until the date of the election
every politician, from the prime minis
ter of the Dominion to the humble
canvassers, will continue actively at
work. Political coventions and cam
paign meetings will be held in every
part of the country, and reciprocity
with the United States will be the
staple subject of discussion. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier plans to cover east
err provinces thoroughly. He will
spend the coming week in the Province
of Quebec, to which he will devote
particular attention in an effort to
stem the nationalists movement, which
is regarded as the most ominous ele-
ment in that province. After leav-
ing Montreal the premier will spend
q week in the Maritime Province.
Then he will return for the windup of
the campaign in Ontario.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscies attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, salt-rheum and sores multi

This condition demands Electric Bit

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

A good deal of the trouble in this
vale of tears is due to the general fear
of talk, observes Walt Mason. Peo-
pie are afraid to say what they think,
or act as they would like to, because
of this dread of what the gossips may
say. The few people who are indif-
ferent to talk, and who go their way
independently, are considered eccen-
tric or maybe worse.
The fear of talk is a good thing
in one way, in that it leads many peo-
pie to be halfway decent, who other
wise would be disreputable. The old
query, "What would the neighbors
say?" has caused multitude of mer
to hesitate about doing the wrong
thing, SO public opinion is a valuable
lever under proper conditions.
