DEATH OF MRS. AMELIA GROSS.


On Wednesday afternoon last, FEB.
IA, 1912, there passed away in this
city, one of Wausau's oldest citizens,
Mrs. Amelia Gross. She had resided
here fifty-four years, her home over
half of that time being at Ala Forest
street. The writer knew well this
excellent, energetic and thrifty woman
and can attest to her splendid WORK
among the pioneer women OF our city
How, by the best of management she
kept her little children together ana
how she perseyered and won ont III
her ideas of education and discipline,
with all the things which summed up
her daily routine, she was always
cheerful, and her kindness to all was
proverbial. She always found time 70
lend helping hand to neighbors ID
distress. and in those pioneer days the
oppc rtunity was very frequent, and
thus all grew to know and highly es-
TEEN Mrs. Gross. Even down to the
end of her life she kept the love OF
little children by gathering them
about her and relating interesting
incidents of the past.
Mrs. Gross was born on Nov. y,
1923, near Bitterfeld, Province SaZony,
Germany. She came to America in
1855 with her mother, one sister and
two brothers, her father having died
previous to that time. They settled
at Amherst. Portage county. In 1856
deceased cal.-a to Stevens Point TO re-
side, and in that year was united in
marriage to Henry Hase and came to
Kelly, this county, where her nus
baad. who was a millwright, was
operating the old Goodhue saw mill.
About a year later an accident befell
him and he was brought to this city
and fingered about a year and died.
Mrs. Gross continued to reside III
Wausau after that time.
To them two children were born
Frank and Miss Amelia Hase, both
residents of this city, In 1860 she
was again married to George Gross,
a prominent blacksmith Of the pinery,
who died here in 1867. To them were
born five children, only two of whom
are living-Louis Gross and Mrs. Louis
Albrecht, both of this city.
For a good many years Mrs. Gross
resided in her home on Seymour
street, but for two years past has
lived with her children.
The funeral services were held from
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Louis
Albrecht, Frenzel street, at 2 o'clock
Saturday, Rev. August Lemke officiat-
ing. Interment was at Pine Grove
cemetery.

Copper is Held at IS Cent Price.

A Boston, Mass, dispatch says:-One of the leading selling agencies of cop. per metal says the demand for copper is good and that they are unable to supply their customers requirements. They say: "We are holding copper at l6 Is cents per pound and have refus. ed l6 cents for the metal within the past few days. The metal is in a strong position, and from investiga- tions we have made, the manufactur- CTS are not stocked with copper and are carrying no more of. the metal than they did when copper was selling at 12 cents per pound, although their business is large in volume. In other words, their buying has been only for their immediate requirements. The recent easing off in the market may be attributed to some small sales of sec ondary copper which have been made, some at Is cents and some slightly be. low this price. We doubt if there is any quantity Of the metal to be had at anything under this figure"
 A second large producer of copper says: "We are holding the metal firm ly at I6 cents and are not breaking that price The sales which were made at a concession from this figure were due to certain amount of metal finding it's way into speculator's hands. The market IS quiet at the present time with little buying going on con- pared with the large transactions which took place a few months ago."
 There is no weakness in the copper metal situation beyond the pressing of some small speculative lots in second

Chinese Miners.

In the Malay and Siamese states the Chinaman is said to have shown him. self the pioneer prospector par excel lence. He has done for these states what the old alluvial gold diggers did for Australia and California-opened up the country, shown its vast posslbil- ities for the investment of capital and the employment of large population, and, incidentally, in many cases, has made large fortune for himself. He has not earned the hostility of the European or native population as he has done in Australia and Canada. There Chinaman saves everything he earns and imports all his food from China, and when he has made money retires and invests it in hls own coun- try. In the Malay and Siamese states he acts quite differently and spends his money freely, taking an interest in the country and being generyu, in support of public institutions. Denver Mining Science.

A body of ? per cent copper provided It is of large enough size, and the copper mineral is fairly evenly distributed through the rock, as in the so-called disseminated ores, may now possess a commercial value. Refinement of large scale methods of mining, hand ling and concentration of the ores has made this possibility. The realiz- ation of these results has been largely a victory of the mechanical end of the industry, as it was the solution of the difficult mechanical problems involved that brought it about.
 It is idle to suppose that perfection in either mining or methods of treat ment has yet been obtained and it is not too much to expect that ores of too low-grade to yield profit by present methods will become sources of wealth at some later day.

High Graders Loot Cinco
 De Mayo Mine.

A Douglas Arizona dispatch says The rich Cinco de Mayo mining prop. erty is being systematically robbed by highgraders. The looters are working regular shifts and although the feder- al government has been appealed to for aid. none has been extended. The Cinco de Mayo, located five miles north of the Fl Tigre, has been one of the largest producers of high grade silver ore in the Moctezuma district. Col. Garcia, who owns the property, has had it closed down for about two years on account of the trouble in the repub- lie, with watchman in charge.
 While petty thievery has been going on for some time, the looters have only recently become so bold that they have taken charge of the mine. sup plies and store. Regular shifts have been put to work, extracting the high grade ore. which is to be found In many places in the workings.
 The watchman in charge has been unable to stop the despoliation of the property, and appeared to comissario Leon, of the Fl Tigre, for help to SUD- press the further footing of the Cinco. So far no attention has been paid to his requests, although there are any number of federal soldiers in the dis trict which could be dispatched to pro. tect the mine.
 These bandits have infested the Tigre district for several years, buy ing stolen ores and committing numer- ous other depredations. Two years ago they were taken by the former con- missarlo at the Tigre. sent to Hermo. sillo, where they were found guilty and despite all of their efforts were sentenced to the penitentiary. They were soon released, however.
 The highgraders do not seem to have any fear of being molested by the au. thorities, as they now have 100 sacks of the high grade ore at the Tigre river crossing ready for smelling. Only last week one of thelr pack trains | of ore was intercepted by the police, but allowed to proceed unmolested.

Low Grade Deposits.

The key to the future prosperity of the mining industry lies more in the development and application of appar. atus and methods for the cheaper and more effective treatment of low-grade ores than in making rich finds of ore, says the Southwestern Mining Record. CT. This does not mean thSt no hope can be held out for the prospector, for there can, and it is safe to say that many valuable mines remain yet to be discovered. Their finding, however, becomes less and less frequent as time goes on. The rich ore bodies are al- ways eagerly sought, and are snapped up, and worked almost as soon as dis covered. High-grade ore bodies-the bonanzas-contain only a small per centage of the worlds mineral that can even now be profitably mined and treated. It is the once despised low grade ore deposits that are to become the bulwark of mining in the not far distant future.
 The conquest of these low-grade ore deposits has already begun and has reached considerable importance par ticularly in the cases of gold and cop- per. It is significant to note that no high-grade copper mines have been found in the United States in the past
