The Motter Process.

L. R. Case and V. P. Aldridge
Of Denver. have been in the
city this week in order to interest our
citizens in tho Motter method Of treat
ing ores. The Colorado Metals Extrac-
ton company of which o. w. Lowell
of this city is president is fixing up the
mill of the Idaho Springs Reduction
Company at the foot of Seventeenth
street preparatory to installing several
fifty ton units for saving the values OF
our sres. The result of treating ac-
cording to this method is to turn out
the minerals in separate forms, each
metal being segregated and saleable.
These parties are soliciting subscription
of stock in order to assist the company
in carrying out its plans of equip
ment. The company has plant in
Denver where ores have been treated
and the work has proven satisfactory
to the shipper. In January last, Mr.
O. w. Lowell sent some ore there and
his testimonial is az follows:
Your report of January 4, 1911, re-
ceived and noted. The results obtained
were highly satisfactory and = great
deal better than expected.
personally saw this test made and
from my obser yation there is no doubt
the Motter method is the proper treat
ment for our ores. as we are getting
now, by the present method, SO 90 for
this grade Of ore, re presenting values
of about $50, per tom"

The advent of a motor truck into
our city on Monday evening loaded
with three and one-quarter tons OF
freight from Denver was .
sight that caused large number of
citizens to copgregats on the streets
and be filled with joy. 1t was 4 Pack
ard Motor truck that came over Floyd
Hill piloted by Ernest Burnett and
two assistants. The truck was the
one that ran from New York to San
Francisco making the trip in about .
month with three tons Of freight a q
trial experiment. Secretary Charles
Woodward was in Denver on Saturday
to make arrangements for n truck run
up here az trial test While nsgo-
tiatiating for q new truck, this over
land traveller arrived from Cheyenne
on its homeward trip. He at once made
request that this same truck be used
for the Idaho Springs trip urging this
for the reason that it had been tested
and would therefore put at rest any OBJ
jections that might be urged that while
. newmotor had made the trip once il
was not conclusive that it would st and
the rough usage. Hence he wanted tho
test made with q motor concerning
which there could be no objections
offered on the ground of not having q
rough usage.
Accompanied by Secretary Woodward
the motor men left Denver on Monday
morning about 80 arriving at Mount
Vernon in one and a quarter hours.
They rested there until about one
O'Clock when they started up the Can
yoa making six miles an hour up the
steep grade arriving in Idaho Springs
about six O'Clock P. NJ On Tuesday
the truck was photographed both in
town and on Filtration Hill by Photo
grapher l., MacLean and surrounded
by many of our people. A banner on
which was inscribed The first ship
ment of freight from Denver to Idaho
Springs by motor truck" was fastened
to the truck and will be le2t there
not only while it is in Denver but on its
trip back to New York. Hence it will
prove an extensive advertising scheme.

Commissioners Ellis and Heck
man were in Denver this week to
consult with the State Highway
commission relative to the appro-
priation for the Floyd hill road
The appropriation bill for internal
i'm provements will have to be
passed upon by the courts mas
much as the senate failed to make
a record of the final vote on the
bill. In this event it was suggest
ed that this county make applica-
ton for al much of the amount
coming here as could be worked
out to an advantage before the
winter weather set in and that ap-
plication for the balance be made
early next spring. The com mis-
sion will also ask that we put dol
lar for dollar what they allow
either in work or money. A mass
meeting will soon be called here
to ascertain what amount of labor
wilt be donated by citizens
regardless of occupation and
the greater part of our amount will
no doubt be contributed gratui-
tously in labor, teams, etc, by
our people.

shaft at the Olmstead Bros. paper es-
iablishment on Fourteenth street.
Miss Ida McDermott was very Sc
verely injured by a descending eleva-
tor about o'clock yesterday after

most miraculous, as her head was
caught between the edge OF the gate
and the bottom OF the elevator and
had the elevator descended two in
ches further. she would have been de-
capitated.
Miss McDermott thought that the
elevator was below the floor on which
she was standing and was looking 10
see II II was coming up. She saw
her peril and screamed but was too
late TO get her head out OF the way
of the swiftly descending car. Her
scream warned the elevator boy of
her peril and he stopped the car as
quickly as possible. being just in
time to save her from a horrible
death.
Tine young lady was cut severely
by the edge OF the gate under both
lower Jaws. the back of her neck was
cut and bruised and her back was
wrenched. After being extricated
from her perilous position. she was
attended by DIR. L. 4. Hildreth II.
and later taken 10 her home at No.
ga Market street. She was improving
rapidly last night.
