From the London Tinfes.
An amendment to the electoral re-
form bill proposing to extend the suf-
frage to women was rejected in the
French Chamber of Deputies by 81
votes to 10. Most Frenchmen are I'M
able to regard seriously any proposal
to give women a share in political life.
Not that the movement for the mu-
nicipal enfranchisement of women is
without support in France. M. Buis-
son, who has given notice of a bill
ex tending the vote to women for mu-
nicipal councils and councils-general
II departments, has secured the adj
hesion of over 100 deputies, while eight
..ouncils-general and twenty three
municipal councils have passed reso-
lutions in favor of the proposal There
is, however, practically no demand for
the vote among French women, in
spite of the increasing number who
adopt a professional or business
career.
1t is interesting to note that The
only argument against M. Buisson's
/ Ill which is seriously considered by
its supporters is that women would
be too subject to clerical influence,
end would thus be a danger to the
Republican regime. This argument,
at any rate, seems to carry weight
with clerical members of the Right,
who with the Socialists are the chief
of the measure. 1t is, how
ever, regarded as probable that TINS
clerical influence over women would
tend to diminish from the mopent of
their acknowledgements. as 1t mas in
the case of men since universal male
Suffrage was established in 1S4S.

The American Turtle.

From the National Magazine.
In the Zoo at Washington a crowd
was observing the movements of a
turtle. This brought to mind that DR..
riedmann's treatment for ruberculo-
sis is serum prepared from turtle
used by the Chinese for more than
two thousand years. A turtle dealer
" no supplied zone of the prominent
hotels in New York learned that 1t
was a common practice for Chinese
medicine men to administer turtle
soup for all forms of tuberculosis,
stomach and kidney trouble. The
Chinese consider the American turtle
far superior for medicinal purposes
to any Oriental species and import
them. The exact method of prepare
ton has been kept a close secret by
the Chinese for many centuries, but
it is known that herbs are used In
brewing the connection.
The authorities at washington
were rather slow and cautious in In
dorsing the rather sensational claim
made by DR.. Friedman for his cures.
In the meantime, other Investigations
into new treatments of the dread
white plague have been prosecuted,
with however, no noteworthy results

Mr.. JerOme's Lost Shirt Cuff

The Big Five Mining company
has closed a contract for the erec-
tion of a $50 ton Edison treatment
plant. This will be erected on
the tramway track short distance
above the Roberts dam. 7 The
construction on this mill will begin
not later than September first and
it IS the intention to have the mill
in full operation within one year
from that date. The company has
no lack of funds to fulfill this con-
tract if the Edison patent on
machinery and methods are as
successful as it is believed will be
the case from the most reliable in

Mr. David NJ McKeIy,

Mr.. David M McKelvey arrived
in the city on Thursday night and
will remain here to watch the
amalgamatlng machine, under
heat and pressure, that is now run
ming in the mill of the Colorado
Mckelvey Milling company. He
is the patentee of this method of
amalgamation. President SIM
mons of the company has had the
mill thoroughly overliauled and a
new Abbey pulverizer installed.
This work of changing and Install
ing has been done by Howard
King of Denver and Al Aiken of
this city and the president is very
greatly pleased with the excellent
work they have done. The mill
starred up this week on its trying
out initiative and everything is
working with clock-like precision.
The ore is ground to a ten mesh in
the crushers before entering the
pulverizer. When it passes
through this machine it issues to
lao mesh fineness and then it is
run into the amalgamating ma
chine where the. forced contact is
made. The precious metals that
escape this are then run over
am algamating plates so that prac-
tically all the gold is caught but
nearly all of it is caught in the
amalgamator. On trial ties,
from a very low grade of dump
stuff from the Centennial claim of
the Two King company, the
savings were equal to the assay
values. The mill is proving all
that has been claimed for it. A
trial run on ore from the Gem mine
IS now being made and what is
beng run is considered one of the
most difficult amalgamating prop
ositions in the district. The owners
of this mill have been very persee
vering in getting this mill down 10
a commercial working basis and
optimistic as to its results.
Mr.. McKelvey is expecting a
party from Chicago next week to
examine the working of his patent
with the view of installing a 100 ton
nill here with this process.

the entire community, who stand
lready to do the same that the cit
