Royal School Of Mines. England. a
man who has operated mines all over
the world. and has proven this pro-
cess by an experiment of a $50 ton
test with every known metal. AS a
result of the promotion of this process
by DR.. Joslin in Milwaukee nearly
two years ago, it is soon to be proven
up in Colorado in a locality where
there exists at least six different kinds
of metals within a radius of foul
miles. L'r. Joslin has control of the
process for Wisconsin, and say the
principal reason he gave up his large
practice and residence in Milwaukee
to live in this district was that he
might ultimately install the process
in Wisconsin's zinc fields The
only reas IN he has not done so before
now is that the inventor found at
the last minute that his patents had
to be further protected, therefore
nothing has been said about it until
now. Nobody doubts that if the pro-
cess will work as the inventor claims
it will, it will absolutely revolu-
tionize the mining industry. not only
of Wisconsin, but of the entire world.
1t is almost unthinkable at this
time what such thing would mean
for this district We would all vel.
come it and will wait with nervous
anxiety the Colorado test. Doctor
Joslin does not care at this time to go
into details further regarding either
the working of the process nor the
plans OF operation in this state, but
promises to keep US posted as de-
velopments go on. -Dodgeville Chroni.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
FOR ORE SEPARATION
Will Mean Much for the Zinc Industry
of this Section if Claims
Prove True.

For years it has been generally con.
coded by scientists and practical min
ing men that some day some one
would..invent a process that would sup
plant the present smelling and all
other processes used for separating
metals from ores. DR.. Grin w.
Joslin, formerly of Milwaukee, and
now located at Linden, now assures
us that we may in the not far distant
future, have for our use in this dis
trict, a process for separating all
metals from the ores by the simple
elements of common salt and water
in the presence of electricity; that nc
matter how many metals are contained
in the ore they will be separated at
the same time and collected separately
and that when collected they will be
chemically pure, even including iron
that such plant can be built on an
individual property at cost not to
exceed $115 900 with a capacity of
100 tons per day: And that the cost
for separating all of these metals to-
gether will range from 40 cents to
81. rs per ton.
The process is the invention Of a
famous German Scientific Mining Ex-
pert, formerly connected with the

Unless owners of stave silos tighten
the hoops az the warm spring weather

or completely ruined, is the warning
issued by Prof. G. A. Ocock of the
College of Agriculture of the Uni

Loose hoops not only allow the
slaves to warp. thus making the walls
no longer air tight, but the whole
silo may be weakened to such an
extent that high wind will cause it
to collapse. A stave silo once down

Obituary-Mrs. c. Baurquin

1t has pleased the almighty God
in his wise providence to take from
the world the soul of Mrs. G. Baur-
quin, the mother of Mrs. Rev. L.
Schmidt. She was born on the 9Th
day of Dec. 1888, in Switzerland,
Europe. When she was years old, her
mother died, and left her alone with
her father. When she was about 20
years old her father also was called to
eternity. Then she was left all alone
in the world. Having decided to
devote her life to the Lord 8 service,
she became a deaconess, and served
the master in that capacity years
in Switzerland and several years in
Italy.
In 1868 she came TO this country
and entered matrimony with Rev. E.
Baurquin. The marriage ceremony
was performed by the Rev. H.
Buchmueller in Elroy, ILL., This
union was an exceeding happy one,
since both were sincere devoted to the
one common cause of serving the
Lord Jesus. Six children were born
to them, two of which preceded the
parents into eternity. Those she left
to mourn her departure are Mrs. Rev.
L. Schmidt, of this city, Rev. Paul
Baurquin of Reading, O.; Rev. VIM.
Baurquin, of Brooklyn, N. Y; Rev.
E. Baurquin, of Paducah, KY. The
deceased faithfully helped her hus-
band doing the Lords work at the
following places: Loran. ILL.,, Lip
pstadt, Mo-, Kassen, Ind, Newburg,
Ind, Inglefeld, Ind, and Bretzville,
Ind But as much as she was in
terested in the work at these different
congregations, she in no way neglect
ed her household and children. She
did all in her power to make good
citizens and faithful Christians out
OF them. She was principally in
terested in their spiritual welfare.
The good example was and always
will be an inspiration to them. She
was woman of prayer daily sending
fervent petitions to God s throne, in
behalf Of her children and friends,
and in behalf of the Lord s cause at
home and abroad. If any body ever
lived up to the high principals !:
Thou shall love the Lord above all
and thou shalt love the neighbor as
tbyself' it was mother Baurquin.
She was always more concerned about
the welfare of others, than her own.
She often entirely forgot her own
wants and needs in earnest prayer and
loving service for others. And the
good Lord greatly rewarded her even
while she was living. This bless
ing followed her everywhere.
On the I'd day of February, 1908.
her husband was called to his rest.
1t was hard for her to be separated
from him, with whom she had lived
peacefully about 40 years; neverthe-
less she did not mourn without faith
and hope, but gladly and willingly
submitted to the's Lord will, and re-
joiced to know that there is a reunion
in the happy home above.
After the departure of her husband
she made her home with. Mrs Rev. L.
Schmidt, her only daughter. and was
satisfied and happy in her new home
and surroundings, since Mrs. Schmidt
and her good husband did all they
