The Golden Discovery
 of Pike's Peak Days.

It was in 1859 that gold was first discovered ID Colorado. John Gregory opened the first gold vein in Gilpin county on May 9th of that year, and the news being heralded east, later to be substantiated by personal visit to the diggings by no less an authority than Horace Greeley, the great editor of the New York Tribune, there re- suited stampede of goldseekers to the Rocky mountains. Tens of thou sands of argonauts crossed the plains at that time, enduring privations and hardships, and they bore on their wagons the legend "Pike's Peak or Bust" Their destination was Gilpin county-the cradle of gold mining in Colorado, and ever since the never failing, steady, wheel-horse gold pro- ducer of our state.
 It is not the purpose to go into de- tail relative to the accomplishment of these men who. for the most part, went to the Gregory diggings 10 the neighborhood of Central City. These diggings were literally swarmed with eager gold hunters, and naturally some of them struck out over the hills to prospect for other golden treasure which they found, for miles and miles in various directions from the original discovery. In short this migration and prospecting resulted in the dis covery oi 5tl,o, gol.en C 2os,ts. which constituted the nucleus of other of our modern day camps that iu the aggre- gate have enriched the world so many millions by their precious product Denver Mining Record.

Scenic Road will be Unique.

The work of making a six mile ma cadamized scenic roadway from the famous Hopi point to Hermit's Basin, running along the rim of the Grand Canyon, Is progressing to point where now it's scenic possibilities may better be judged. and it holds forth great promise of still further enhancing the wonderous views to be obtained at this wOrld-famous chasm.
 The work is being done by the Santa Fe Land Improvement company. a sub sidiary of the Santa Fe system, and the constructive operations are in charge of the L. J. Smith Construction com pany with large force of men and machinery. About November 10th is the speculative date of completion.
 The Santa Fe company has lately secured a permit from the forest re- serve office here to construct a five wire drift fence, segregating an area of about twenty acres surrounding the El Tovar property ty.-Willians News.

Finds Dissipation
 in Large Colleges.

A Chicago dispatch says:-R. T. Crane, millionaire iron manufacturer has made public an arraignment of the big universities of the country. He charges alarming prevalence of drink ing and gambling among students. Columbia he ranks the worst, but con- ditions at Harvard, Princeton, and Cor nell, he declares, are almost as bad.
 Of the students at Harved, 90 per cent drink in their freshman year; g5 per cent in their senior year, and l5 per cent of them go irrevocably to the bad, according to the report of an in- vestigation which Mir. Crane had made. MT. Crane has expended much time and money Investigating the results of higher or college education. So bitter is he in consequence that he declares colleges do more harm than good. Mir. Crane says in hls report:
 "An outsider can scarcely realize the amount of drinking that goes on in the club rooms of the colleges. Referring particularly to Harvard, estimate the number of students who combine in a mild degree wine and bad women. 65 per cent; who drink heavily, 35 per cent, and who have two or three bats, year also 45 per cent.
 ''I do not doubt that even worse state of affairs exist in other colleges. At Princeton it is beer, beer, beer The body of students in my mind drink even more than Harvard men. On one occasion I believe there must have been more than 300 students dead drunk
 At Yale drinking is recognized in so great degree that clubs have their tables at the barrooms. l was never so shocked in my life as when I found New Haven the absolute, debauched and whisky town that It is.
 At Cornell the conditions are some what the same, although I believe Cor nell students do not carry their Avcess- es so far as do boys at Princeton, Yale and Cambridge. The Cornell boys are great on beer, as are also the men at Princeton.
 At Columbia believe there exists more debauchery than at any other college, on account of it's proximity to the famous resorts of the city,

American to Have
New Shelter.

It is said to be actually settled that the American Smelling x Refining Co, will own the smelter at Hayden, Ari- zona, and therefore handle under con- tract the copper concentrates from the Ray Consolidated works in that field. The transaction involves the taking over and completing after its own ideas, of the smelling plant that the Ray Consolidated Mines Co.,, has been en- gagged in building until three months ago, when the work was suspended pending negotiations to the end de- scribed.
 The largest patron of the proposed smelter will, of course, be the Ray Consolidated Co.,, but the plant will be a custom shelter.
 The plans of the American Smelling x Refining Co.,, in the construction and operation of the new plant, are said to be but little different from those here tofore outlined by the Ray Consolidat- ed, which also planned the building Of a custom shelter. Karl Eilers, the chief engineer of the A. s. x R. Co, has recently visited Hayden and other engineers of the company have also been there in connection with the ne gotiations. The American Smelling & Refining O., has offered the Ray Co. a contract so attractive that the manage ment of the company has accepted the same, believing it materially to the ad- vantage of the company to do so.- Wickenburg Mines.

A Naco dispatch says: Within two weeks just elapsed B cars of copper bullion produced at Cananea have been consigned by the Cananea Con- sOlidated Copper company to the re- 6neries in New Jersey, averaging loo, 1000 pounds of copper bullion per car. The estimated value including gold, silver and copper is 436,OOOs. Not all of this copper is produced from ore mined at Cananea, as each month there are shipped to Cananea from mines in the Globe district about 1900 tons of huxing concentrates, princi- pally copper, valued at nearly loo, ,OOOs.

ny lOh dOC Ol OAOs hS CoAA- met & Hecla company, which owns the control of several other producers, without having the legal right as things now stand to entirely absorb them, has for months past been en- deavoring to effect combine of these subsidiary concerns. The end sought is the introduction economies that will make the rema ag life of these mines profitable to ti CTS, and the general impression that eco- homie law and the Ia oi Michigan are in conflict upon the question of a mer- ger. Like the rustic legislator who was in favor of repeating the law of supply and demand, the men who fill the statue books of Michigan have evi. dently felt that the state law is and should be at all times superior to the economic law, even though the copper mines gu out of the business. The Calumet & Hecla management has got past the objections of the majority of stockholders in all the companies, but it has not yet surmounted the statute.
 The average copper content of all the rock milled in the state of Michi- gan is not over one per cent, and it may soon be under that figure. If the metal were in the form of sulphi5es, westerners know what the result would be, although one and a half per cent ore is being successfully handled by the ''porphyries." Besides, there is a limit to very deep mining, and this is an extremity which has been met in some of the old properties of the Hough- ton peninsula. The state geologist, R. c. Allen, is quoted as saying that one third of the states copper output is mined and sold at a loss, and he ex- presses the view that production costs must be reduced very soon if the state expects to maintain it's output.
 It begins also to be observed that, even with the introduction of econ- omies, the life of the principal mines has not long to run. J. R. Finlay, who has lately presented a report upon the values in the copper mines to the Michigan legislature, gives it as his opinion that ''the limit of profitable working Is now in most cases in plain sight" This sounds bad, but it does not mean a very early cessation of operations; merely the ability of an appraiser to estimate the limit of pro- ductivity, which will begin to be felt in the course of ten years. Mir. Fin lays report was made as an aid to the discussion of taxation matters.
 The annual copper production of Michigan is now about 225, ,O00, 900 pounds, which is about equal to the ex- pectations from the newly developed disseminated deposits in the West, which will he producing on a large scale within two or three years. It is apparent, therefore, that with a prob able decline in Michigan and in some other sections, the output of the new western mines will be needed to keep up the country's pace.-Denver Mining Science.

Until the district was en- tered by General Manager Burns a short time ago, and work started in an energetic manner, very little interest in mining circles was associated with that belt. Recently, however, there has been quite rush to secure loca- tions, with the usual result that very little ground is now unappropriated. Prescott Journal Miner.

Roswell s. George. accompanied by Mrs. George, returned today from Southern Sonora, after a visit to that district extending over several weeks. Mir. George is connected with a company which has import ant business interests in that sec ton, including grocery houses at Es- poranza and Yaqui. These interests are in the country embraced in the great Richardson irrigation projec. which will do so much for the uiJ.- mate development of the agriculture resources of Sonora.
 Mir. George today spoke strongly on the ill effects that have resultet from the publication of exaggerated or unfounded articles on the reyolu tionary movements in the Me4icaI republic He states that the dam ages that have already occurred by such publications can hardly be esti- mated and that if they shall COZ tinue it will retard progress and de velopment for years to come. He says that they have already checked this progress and have practically .paralyzed business interests.
 'In Esperanza, in Yaqui and in all the country in that section there are no signs whatever of any in surrectionary troubles and little or nothing is heard on the subject, ex cept what appears in the American newspapers that are receivei there Those articles. many of which seen to show a bias in favor of the so called revolutionists, are not calcu lated to make the government ol it's officials feel more friendly tC Americans, but at least give the ides of a feeling in favor of the insur gents.
