EIRELES 5
COOKE Err
BY MRS. McCANE.

~ HE ready-made cookers on the
market are yet ~ather expensive
= for the family of small means.
However, it is something within the
reach of almost any one, requiring
but little time, expense, or mechanic
al ability to manufacture, and yet
it answers the purpose perfectly.
Purchase wooden candy pail,
such as almost any grocer or confec-
toner will furnish for cents, and
sheet of asbestos paper for Is cents.
Line the pail, bottom and sides, with
this asbestos paper, using small
tacks to hold it in place. Mineral
wool (asbestos) l used for the lining,
making cylinder of the asbestos pa
per about nine inches in diameter to
support the sides, which left about a
two inch space to be filed with this
mineral wool lining pack in careful
ly SO as to leave no air spaces, max
ing the top layer of crumpled news
paper to keep the wool from flying
about A circular piece of the ashes
tos paper at the bottom of the cylin-
der completed the receptacle. Then
place a fiat plate of granite iron at
the bottom of the cylinder to catch
any drops of water or liquid which
might accidentally spill in placing in
or removing the food.
Make two pads, one to cover the
entire top of the pail and one to fit
in the cylinder, the latter to be used
only when one dish alone was cook
ing. These pads were made of the
mineral wool, a fitted heavy card
board, and all covered with stout
cloth.
The mineral wool costs about 5
cents a pound, something less than
five pounds for the cooker is enough
1t is important that the vessel in
which the food is to be cooked should
nearly fit the space inside the cook
err, and that 1t should have a tight
cover. An agate ware or even tin pail
with close fitting cover will serve
the purpose well

'|FOR RENT
ROOMS
BY LUCILLE pAupET.

wy HILE buying for the average
w landlady means buying the
" things that are tasteful and
durable rather than luxurious and
dainty. 1t means buying with due
regard to the general tastes of the
humoring erratic fancies of your
own. 1t means buying at a price
where you need not overstep your
given allowance for each room, and
it means buying such articles as pro-
vide ease and comfort and home at
mosphere.
For instance, If you cater to that
sane and practical rooming element
known as the business workers, you
might put your ban on brass beds,
the pink and yellow and light green
wall papers, Irish point or Batten-
berg lace curtains, gayly colored
rugs, yellow dressers, and nondescrfpt
chairs. The business roomer wants
simplicity and solid comfort; he hates
business and frilliness.
why not brass beds?' you may
ask. They certainly look handsome
and are durable" That may be true,
but the objection includes all beds
from the white enameled iron kind to
the imposing mahogany four-poster,
In the first place a bed takes up too
much room, and where your quarters
are small and crowded you have a
feeling of being incarcerated. When
you have callers it is sometimes dis.
comforting to be Obliged to ask them
to sit on the edge of the bed for
lack of better accommodations. A
broad, bulky bed defeats every ef-
fort at coziness.
Substitute a good steel spring san.
ltary cot that can be let up or down
on both sides and provide a tapestrv
spread or cot cover in dark red ~
mixed brown, according to the color
that prevails, and you have a corn
p1nation bed and couch that at Ieagt
forty-nine out of fifty roomers would
vote for without hesitation. And
then note the difference In cost to
yourself. :"

All white hand bags md parasodls

tfrely new. There is a great vogue
fer this snowy effect.
In many gowns the Itussian blouse
is of a different material from the

Blouses of lace and tuIle, tucked

or shadow lace, are worn now in
stead of the chiffon affair of seasons
past.

Toques of cEangeable taffeta are
worn with street frocks of taffeta.
They are sometimes trimmed with
outspreading wings made of the tat
feta; others have aigrettes on one
side.
Quaint little bonnets of straw,
faced with plated silk or lace and
flower trimmed are the favorite head
gear for the small children.
Fine black net tucked in inch wide
and pin tucks was effectively COM
bined with fine white batiste and
lace frock. The wide tucks appeared
in the black hem and the pin tucks
formed cuffs for the elbow sleeves.

Painters are oftenest seen in soft

DELMONICO LEASED.

A Denver pool has taken a lease
and option on the Delmonico mine,
near the German, and will at once
commence work. James Force, the
we'll known mining man, will have
charge of operations. The property
is owned by John Ross. 1t has not
not been worked for some time. but
when operated produced some very
good ore. In the past few years
several parties have endeavored to
purchase the property but for some
reason terms could not be agreed
upon. The mine is equipped with a
good shaft building and all the neces-
sary equipment for deep and perman-
ent mining.

GALENA SHIPPING.

The leasers on the Galena, al
though having spent but comparative
ly little since taking hold of the
property to put it in shape for pro.
duction, are being reimbursed. They
commenced shipments lately and the
returns are very satisfactory. The
first class of the iron went $50. 90 to
the ton, the second class, $40. .OO, and
the mill dirt averages two ounces
to the cord. The pool working the
Galena is composed of local miners,
all practical men. 1t was the con-
census of opinion when the pool Sc
cured a lease on the Galena that the
mine would pay. The property paid
well when worked some years ago
and has always been regarded rs one
of the best mines in the Central por-
tion Of the county.

PITTssURG A WONDER.

If every mine in the county had
the dividend record of which the
Pittsburg boasts, three-fcurths of the
mining done in Colorado would be
confined to Gilpin county. The last
shipment Of high-grade made during
the month of January went over
$4,000 to the ton. This ore run high
in three metals-gold, silver and
copper. In the 9O0-foot level the vein
is two feet in width and carries ex-
ceptional values considering the ex-
tent of the crevice. This level is
being extended and the steady val
ues indicate the permanency of the
vein. Recently the Pittsburg was
equipped with electric pumps and ma
chine drills and this year will wit
ness more extensive operations than
at any time in the history of this
famous producer. VIM. Anger, who is
in charge of the mine, has made an
enviable record for himself

THE INFLUENCE OF THE
METROPOLIS ON MINING

While 1t is admitted on all hands
that Gilpin county mines are all right
it is not true that they are handi-
capped in being too near the metro
polls. That is almost libelous. 1t is
certainly absurd. Just as If man
conditions were not to his liking.
There is mistaken notion in the
minds of some about mining. To
the far east man, who never saw a
gold mire, his picture is one where
gold may be had by finding it in the
street. Another, with small knowl-
edge, but who is not engaged or near
mining district, to inform him that
promising section is near large
town, becomes incredulous. He would
think it impossible q good showing
could be had, believing IT to have
been exploited and found wanting.
The experienced mining man would
also entertain like opinion with
the addition that nothing could re-
suit because of its proximity to n
large town; that everybody must
have had a try at it but failed hence
it Is not worth while for anyone to
further consider the matter. Impress
sions of the sort are all wrong. Min
ing men are out for results. If they
can secure them next door to the
town hall, they should be glad that
they were not compelled to go a
greater distance.

THE OLD AND THE NEW CAMPS

Mining men are hoping for a new
Eldorado. One may be In the offing
right now. 1t would certainly be stim-
ulating to the industry. But Is is not
admitted that it is at all necessary.
OF course, that means many things.
All know the outcome of these new
mining camps. They are very attrac-
tive and hold out a great deal of
promise, resulting in one more town
on the map, but drawing from those
already in existence which may be
far better than anything that could
be developed elsewhere. 1t is that
which should cause the venturesome
to pause ere making the leap. 1t Is
like the dog and his shadow, the
bird in the hand, and so on down
the list of apt sayings, that could
be applied to the case.
The new camp takes years in de-
veloping. The old camp has existed
for many months and likely to re-
main, at least as long as substance
can be drawn from it's fissure veins.
The old camp can be relied upon to
do the right thing when understood.
1t is more dependable. The new
camp may prove a flash in the pan
and many ills attend. The old camp
has discarded the trivial and is down
to hard pan, which spells stability.
