it has closed deals for the erection
of two smelters in Colorado, says the
Denver Times. One win be located
at Parshall, on the Denver, North
western & Pacific railroad, and the
other will be erected in Denver.
The construction of the two plants
is to be step in the expected re-
vival of mining in Colorado.
The Parshall plant will be the first
smelter erected along the route of
the Moffat road and the Denver plant
will embrace all the various methods
of smelling for the purpose Of dem
onstrating the best process for ex-
tracing the metals from the ores.
The Parshall smelter will be erect
ed midway between Sulphur Springs
and Kremmling. in Grand county. six
miles from the railroad. and will be
owned by the Mollie Groves Mining
and Milling company, a corporation
composed OF Kansas City men. The
mining company has property which
has been showing ore returns running
8 to per cent copper. with some
returns showing SO per cent.
Construction work on the plant,
which will have capacity Of thirty
tons a day, will start at once. 1t is
announced.
The Western Engineering and Fl
nance company announces that it is
negotiating for the site for the dem
onstration plant. which will be built
in Denver and which will have a cap
ac.ty Of fifty tons day and will
treat commercial ores.
The plant will enable miners to
send in a car Of ore to be treated
by the various methods to determine
which is best adapted for that partic
ular class Of ore. Through this test
ing process exact estimates as to cost
OF Installing a plant and the cost OF
treating the ores can be determined

Years Sleep In Prison.

A remarkable case of lethargy is re-
ported from one of the towns in South
Russia. A certain Moisselyinko was
put on his trial In March Of last year
on the charge Of having committed an
armed robbery. but in the midst Of the
proceedings he dropped to the floor in
what was supposed at the time to be a
fainting At, but which afterward
proved lethargic sleep.
In this condition the prisoner has
lain till March OF the present year.
He has evidently been all the time in
complete possession OF his wits, but
was unable to move a limb. open his
eyes or take food. When his eyelids
were raised the pupils could be seen.
and he was all the time fed by arti-
fetal means.
During his sleep he has lost some
weight, but he has kept throughout
the external appearance Of man in
normal and healthy sleep.

Nettles a. Substitute for Cotton.
The search for a cotton substitute
has been going on in Europe for a
long time, and many experiments
have been made with the common net
tie. which has been a promising plant
on account Of the strength of its fiber
and its ready growth wild under the
most discotlraging conditions, with a
large yield per acre. The great diff
Guilty has been In separating the fiber
from the woody stem. In a method
of treatment that has been worked out
in the last two or three years, the
dried nettle stems are boiled about
half an hour In dilute soda lye, and
the loosened fbers are then separated
in a machine with revolving brushes.
The material Is then subjected to a
number Of alternate boilings in dilute
lye and thorough washings. both un-
der high pressure. The product is a
mass Of yellowish fbers. free from
gum. that can be bieached. combed,
and spun into lustrous white yarn.
This is claimed to have the smooth
ness and softness of fax, with a
strength even greater than that of
hemp. The yarn has been made into
brilliant damask. and can be used
alone or with other threads-for up
holsteries. ribbons. and q variety Of
fabrics.
