from various parts of the State told of
a number of carload shipments of pota-
toes, for which buyers paid 25 cents a
bushel, the lowest price in years.

mills in various parts of the state
viii soon be similarly equipped.
A decrease is shown in the value
Of the gold output for 1911. This
years ii seems safe to predict an in
crease. New ore bodies have been
opened to profitable mining by the
draining of Cripple Creek mines by
the Roosevelt tunnel, and the capac-
lty OF the mills that handle low grade
ore at the mine has been enlarged
gradual extension of the use of
the cyanide methods in other parts
OF the state is in progress and will
add to the output.
The production as given by coun-
ties shows important gains in Lake
and Gilpin. For the gain in Lake
county, zinc is largely responsible.
GiIpin was aided by the Lowe mill
and the consequent increase in the
output OF the Frontenac and AduddeI
group. There was a renewal of ac-
tlFlty also on several other proper-
ties. Both San Juan and Park coun-
ties show a decided falling off. In
the former the decrease was due prin-
cipally to the floods which nut the
railroad out of Ommission. while in
Fark county the decrease is account
ed Tor by the smaller output from
the London mine. On the latter
property deep development that
promises to restore it to its former
productivity is in progress.

AUTHOR OF MUTT AND JEFF"

For month of mornings we had
laughed at his cartoons in the news
papers, and now we leaned forward
10 catch our first glimpse of Bud
tlsher, the creator of Mutt and
Jeh. as he strobe from the wings of
the vaudeville stage.
Although he spoke not a word. in
rev seconds 1t was evident that the
audience was with him. Tall erect
and qutck-moving, smooth-faced and
OF rosy complexion, he seemed to
nave an eNuberance of youthful good
nature. Several young ladies greet
ed him with gasped "Ohs" and "Ahs, &"
applause followed, and he gracefully
bowed.
Across the curtain was stretched
row of artists panels, each about
yard square. Bud Fisher wasted
no time in getting down to business.
After few master-strokes from his
crayon We beheld Mutt" and JEFF
on the first square, wearing the ia
miliar grimaces and gestures that are
recognized in all parts of the coun-
try as the product of Bud Fishers
brush. He calmly executed three
more rows of Mutt and Jeff and Lima,
modestly accepted the hearty APP
| plause that followed and became
quite at home with his audience.
Forthwith we were entertained with
| random sketches of different specta-
tors.
A fashionably-dress young wom-
an in the right-hand box had been
one of the most interested spectators:
but, when sch discovered that Mr.
| Fisher had set down the outlines OF
her face and hat, she bashfully
| screened her features with fan and
wriggled Undismayed, the crayor
entertainer completed his sketch
showing the shy young lady with
eyes peeping over the edge of the
| fan.
Those who know say that the pro-
totype of JEFF is real man, who
wears a silk hat and struts about as
| pompOusly as the familiar Jeff. The
story goes that Mr.. Fisher. when q
locomotive fireman on the Chicago 4
| Northwestern railway, often saw this
man from whom he has fashioned lit
| tie JEFF. The doings of Mutt and
Jeff have amused millions of news
| paper readers, and an exhibition by
their creator is a rare treat.-Joe

ACTIVITY IN THE La PLATAS.

Durango, Colo, May Although
a decision in favor of the May Day
company in the suit involving ground
in dispute between the May Day and
Valley View companies has been rem
dered by the United States district
court, the early resumption of oper-
ations on either of these great mines
is improbable.
The case will very likely be car
ried to the supreme court 1t rests
on the location of a section line, and,
If the decision stands, it will give the
May Day 800 feet of the rich Idaho
claim of the Valley View company.
In addition to the value of the ground,
$4,000, the payment on a shipment
made from the Idaho to the smelter
after the suit was begun. is tied up.
During the last six months of 1910
the Valley View paid dividends of
s2S0,OO0.
In spite of the enforced idleness of
the two mines mentioned, however,
there is promise of a year of great
activity in the La Platas, and local
mining men believe that before many
years the district will rival Cripple
Creek as the bonanza camp of Colo
rado.

BRIG. GEN. HENRY G. SHARPE.

80 years he has been connected with
the commissary department of the
United States Army, rising to his
present rank from the position OF
first lieutenant, to which he was ap-
pointed after leaving West Point.
He has successfully served as chief
of commissary in all divisions of the
standing army and in the Spanish
American and Philippine campaigns.
He was recently promoted to the
brigadier generalship. He is con-
sidered a most competent authority
on the subsistence of an army in the
field and because of this knowledge
is always in touch with the war de-
partment when consideration of an
important military movement is con-
templated.

PRODUCES
QUANTITIES Of
VANAO|UM

Denver, May 4.-Vanadium pro-
dGction is this year included for the
first time in the report of the Col
orado commissioner of mines. For
several years the state has been pro-
ducing vanadic acid and vanadiferous
ores in increasing quantities; but
reliabl information concerning the
amount has been withheld by the pro-
ducers. An investigation made by
the present commissioner of mines,
Thomas r. Henahen, has enabled him
to arrive at an estimate that is ap-
proXimately accurate. A daily aver
age of about 80 tons of vanadium
ore. chiefly roscoelite. is treated by
the mill operated by the Primos
Chemical company at Newmire in
San Miguel county. The ore is made
TO yield in the form of vanadic acid
at least one per cent metallic vana-
dium. The value of the output is
figured on a basis of $3.50 a pound,
making a total of S547,5OO for the
year 1911. This is probably too
low. as the price of vanadium during
the year ranged from $3.50 to s. a
pound.
From Placerville during the year
l,5l5 y tons of ore mined in Para
shipped via Galveston to Liverpool
The average price paid for the ore
f. o. b. Placerville, was $40 a ton,
or total for the year of Sl06.0S5.
This ore averaged 3 Y per cent me-
tallic vanadium, in addition TO uran-
ium and radium. A conservative es-,
innate of the value the vanadium eX-
tracted from the ore would be 5000
ton, or s303,1 ,106 for Montrose
county. In the production of the ore
not more than so miners were en-
ployed, but &c men with four and
six horse teams were needed in haul
ing it to the shipping point.
Not enough development has been
done to determine the evtent of the
ore deposits. Practically all of the
ore has come from lenses in sand
stone strata exposed on the sides of
the canyons. If the deposits should
prove to be continuous throughout
The daily sentinel., 1912-05-04

the sandstone, the supply will be
ample to permit the general use of
vanadium in steel manufacture. This
remains to be determined by further
exploration, but there is still very
large available supply in the surface
deposits.
All of the principal operators are
now carrying on extensive metallur-
gical experiments for the purpose
of working out a process for the eco
nomical extraction of vanadium in
mills that can be erected near the
mines, and thus avoiding the heavy
expense involved in the transporta-
tion by wagon and rail of low grade
ore. In order to get three or -four
pounds of vanadium from the Para
dox valley mines to the railroad, a
miles in wagons.
The possibility of developing Q
production equal to demands for the
manufacture of steel rails is now at
tracing attention. By adding not
more than five pounds of vanadium
to a ton of steel its tensile strength
and toughness are greatly increased
and its ability to withstand success
sive jars and shocks multiplied by
three.
The use of vanadium steel in rails
would mean safety under the strain
imposed by heavy locomotives and
high speed.
At 50 a pound for vanadium the
added cost involved in its use for
steel rails would not exceed $40 q
ton, and the additional expense would
be more than offset by the increased
life of the rail. 1t now seems prob
able that western Colorado and
eastern Utah will be able to supply
vanadium ore in sufficient quantity.
taken in connection with more eco
nomical treatment. to make 1t profit
able to manufacture vanadic acid OF
ferro-vanadium at prices based on
81 pound for the metallic vanadi-
um content.
The cartonite ores of Colorado car
ry both uranium and vanadium and
the residue from these ores after the
extraction of the uranium and vana-
dunn is source of radium. Ac-
cording to a recent report from Con-
sui General Gaffeny of Dresden. the
cost of extracting a radium salt from
the uranium residue is $4,000 a gram
and it is now selling for $500
gram. He says further that some of
the European governments as well
as numerous private enterprises are
looking for additional supplies of the
residue. Several of the
operators in the Colorado fields are
the possibilities of Sc
curing returns on the radium CON
tent of the ore.
Next to the vanadium estimates the
most significant figures in the report
q the commissioner of mines on the
metal production of Colorado are
those giving the value of the spelter
output. High prices and improved
methods of ore dressing are rapidly
increasing she production of zinc
from the mixed sulphide ores of
Colorado. In 1910 the production
was s3,366,437, and in 1911 It was
., 5,696.1SS. The value of zinc out
put of the state now exceeds the val
lie of the silver or the lead output. |
