FORTUNES MADE BY
women in mining
Many Are Operators, Corporation Off,
GERS, and Helpers with Pick
and Shovel.
MRS. sTOIBER-ROOD'S WORK

Denver, July PA few nights ago Den
yer society said good-by to Mrs. Lena
Stoiber- Rood, the most successful woman
mining operator in the world, who will
make her home in Europe and enjoy the
million she is credited with making in
the mining field of Western Colorado.
Mrs. Stoiber-Rood is credited with
cleaning up a million from the cele-
brated Silver Lakes group of mines in
the San Juan field. Western Colorado
Her first husband had turned to this
field when the gold excitement was at
its height there about twenty years ago.
In order to help OUT his wife kept
boarders and. when the group of pros
poets was secured, assisted in the active
work of development. She soon became
a familiar figure in the Western mining
world.
She thought nothing of donning miners
attire and working with the men in the
mine when she deemed it necessary to
assist Mr.. Stoiber in overseeing the work
personally. The mines were located in
a high and almost inaccessible part of
the San Juan Mountains. Transporting
the machinery was difficult and had to
be done with burro trains. The woman
mine operator did much toward directing
the work of transporting the machinery
and installing it. The Stoiber fiiines wers
famed as the best conducted and most
successful in Western Colorado for many
years.
After she had made big fortune at
mining Mrs. Stoiber turned to Denver,
where she made a social conquest of the
Colorado Capital Mr.. Stoiber died and
a few years ago his widow married Hugh
Rood, a Pacilc Coast capitalist. Mr..
Rood was one Of those who went down
with the Titanic.
Another successful mining operator is
Miss o. L. Granfield, slender, dark-eyed
young woman. who lives at one of the
big hotels in Colorado Springs. and who
would be taken for a society woman in
:ent on nothing but pleasure rather than
president of one of the biggest mines in
Cripple Creek.
Miss Granfield is president of the c. X.
and n. mine. which is in the limelight
right now because of a 100000 suit
for damages. filed against II by the Ell
Paso Consolidated Gold Mining Company.
This suit is one of the biggest ever fought
in the West It calls for deep familiarity
with mining on its legal side as well as
in a technical way. Almost daily meet
ings of directors are held. but the young
woman president of the c. X. and N.
assumes her heavy responsibility without
shrinking, and evidently the directors are

Seldom, II ever, has this county
gathered its wheat crop In as gooq
condition as this year. The airy
weather throughout harvest mas
made It possible to do most OF the
threshing from the shock, making
a saving in grain and improving the
quality. The wheat is testing high,
most of It so pounds and above ana
is of better quality than in many
years.
The yield has surprised the farm
ers who we're early In the season

Fields that have given twice the
estimated production are common
while some extraordinary yields are
reported. Estimates on the average
Weld for the $4,000 acres sown
practically every acre of which was
harvested, range from II to 70 bush
els. Probably 1t will be about IL
or 20 bushels, which is equal to any
record of the county and three bush
els higher than last year.

extra work paid for itself many
times over" said Mr.. Wyandt. The
wheat on that section OF the field
was green and solid all through the
spring and when the grain was
shocked the line where the extra
work was done was plainly visible.
EARLY blowing and burning off the
stubble also serves to kill off the
chinch bugs which we're not in evil

On this field the machine turned

The highest yield of the county
was on the farm of ]. F. Murphy, on
the Smoky Hill bottom near Chap
man, where 10 acres made 81 BUSH
els an acre. This was an especially
fine piece of land and received extra
cultivation. His wheat as a whole
made only about 80 bushels.
One lesson taught by the yields
that are above normal is that OF
early blowing and plenty OF cultiva-
ton. Near rutphen in the northeast
part of the county is the farm OF q
well-to-do farmer. He asks for this
farm $3.50 an acre and has been OF
fered even in these dry times $l51.oO
an acre. TIE sewed his wheat very
late and gave it only the most mod
crate preparation. 1t yielded IL
bushels. Across the road is the
farm of Fred Stein. 1t is not SO
good land but he burned off the
stubble early, plowed 1t IN July ana
disced it before sowing. His 80
acres yielded 26 bushels.

NO Lessen the Waste Of Milk.

10 Lessen TIE WdSUc VI NhA'
The department of agriculture is
endeavoring to prevent the waste
which occurs when city inspectors
condemn large quantities of milk.
The usual practice is to empty the
milk from the cans into the sewer.
The milk is valuable for feeding
farm animals and it is great
waste to throw it away as well as
a needless loss to the dairyman. The
problem is for the inspector to be
able to denature the milk so as to
unfit it for human use and at the
same time not destroy. it for AMI
NAL feed.
After many experiments the de-
partment recommends that a solu-
ton of rennet be added to the milk
by the inspector at a cost OF three
and one-third cents for 1O-gallon
can. This coagulates the milk with
in few minutes so that 1t becomes
unstable but does not injure Its
value as feed for animals-JouTnal
