Above is the text Of two para
graphs Of a report on the Gannisoa
State Normal addressed to the IeGis-
lstive committee appointed by the
last general assembly, 10 investigsse
the needs Of the state institstions a
Colorado. The seport is quie
lengthy and in addition to giving
itemized sums Of mosey spent for
permanent Improvements, perma
nent equipment, operating expenses,
enrolment and futsre needs Of the
school, discusses the question: Is
there a demand for the school? The
report is signed by George Hether-
ington, local member Of the board Of
Normal trustees.
Going at length into the question
Of demand" for the Gunnison Nor
NAL, the report says:
"Tbe important question to con
sider is whether or not there Is a
demand ON the part of the teachers
and those contemplating teaching,
resident Of this and adj AGENT portions
Of the western slope, for the training
given by this school The fact that
our first summer session paid for the
service of corps of teachers, and
also incidental expenses of the
session, is an affirmative answer to
the question. This is the only in
stance in the state in which a FRS /
summer session paid it's expenses
from student fees.
The enrolment for the four
terms of our first year, exclusive OF
high school and extension courses,
l69 students. This is greater
number above high school rank than
was enrolled by the State University
at Boulder until after its fifteenth
year. Daring the first year 20
students were enrolled, NONE Of
whom was above high school rank.
The second year its total enrolment
was 80 students of whom but IL
were above high school rank (See
Regents Report l9l0-l2),
The academic entrance require
ment for this school is graduation
from high school. 1t was not until
the eighth year that the State Nor
NAL at Greeley required graduation
from high school for entrance. The
total first year enrolment in Greeley
was SO. The net total firAt year en-
rollment in Gunnison was 202. The
enrolment of students above high
school rank in Greeley for the second
year was 80. This is ~ less than
the enrolment of equal rank
students in Gunnison the first year.

catalogue 1892 -93).

(thasea not the ereatess valse) since

1898 it wss given As 60.u0O.9D

1911, when the production was CO.

above 6o.Ou0.0j0 Final hssres
may show an even greater output for
iyl2, - early estimates from the
aaines made by the western Offices oi
the Gecioeical Survey Indicate a
Total silver production Of approx
astely 64,O00.OU0 ounces, or the
largest output ia the history Of the
country.
THIS Increase IN production may
be attributed chiefly TO the notable
anerease in the output OF copper ores.
especially those of Butte, Mont
which contained considerable silver
and Of sraentlferous lead ores,
notably Of the t,ntie and Park City
districts, Utah; the Ploche district.
Nevada; and the San Juan region
and the Lesdville and Aspen dis
tricts, Colorado. There was appar-
emily small decrease in silver pro-
duced from the great Occur d Alene
lead mines Of Idaho, whose ores have
. lower average silver content than
formerly.
High prices generally for silver,
copper, snd lead in 1912 materially
sdded 70 the pro6ts of production.
The svsssGe New York price for
silver in January 1912, was 56.3
cents Gne ounce; by May it had
risen with various fluctuations 10
6O.9 cents, by October to 63.5 cents,
aud the December average price was
about 636 cents The average
price for the year may be taken at
go 9 cents a fine ounce, against So
cents in 1911 and 1908, "a cents in
1910, and so cents in 1909 1t was
the highest therefore since 1907,
when the average price was G6 cents
The year 1912 was one of general
business prosperity and buying was
liberal in all metals. For shipment
to tine far East, especially to India,
large purchases of silver were re
corded
According to estimates made by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. the imports of silver in
1912 were valued at $47 100000
The exports of silver during the
same year were valued at S1O.272,-
600 or $22,F2,00O in excess of the
value of the imports. In 1911 the
value of the excess of exports over
imports of silver was S2l 9lS,075
The imports of silver in 1911
were, as usual. chiefly in ore aud
bullion and came mainly from
Mexico aud Canada. The exports
were almost wholly in refined bullion
and coin, aud went as usual. chiefly
to the Uuited Kingdom, although
large amounts were also sent TO
France and Hongkong and smaller
shipments to China and British

SURVEY VALLEY
 FROM HILLTOP
Aviator and Companion Make Ascent of Supersti- tion Peak to Look Over Salt River Valley as Avi- atiOn Field

A unique method of surveying was used recently by Aviator Jacques Ney- vette who returned yesterday from the Superstition country, where he made the ascent of the familiar peak in com pany with Don Rothrock, a resident of that district. The pair made the climb on the 18th, taking two days to go to the top. They carried provision and bedding for several days
 The purpose of the journey was to survey the Salt River valley and the hill country surrounding it, aviation in this vicinity being the object of at least one of the mountain climbers. The net result of the survey convinced Neyvette the Salt River valley is an ideal place for aviation. The flat country along the liver is best for starting and stop ping, and there are long stretches in the valley that will do nicely for the flights Except that the surface in some places is hard on tires, the coun- try about Phoenix is just right for aerOplane exercising
 The climb up Superstition is not an easy one. The surface of the moun- tain is decomposed rock that gives lit
 
 tails some danger to the climber. It was necessary for the party to circle the base of the mountain to find the easiest way to the top on the northeast side. But Neyvette says the view and the results of the survey were worth | the effort and danger of the climb Neyvette came here some weeks ago | from the east, where he has been in | the field of flying with a number of the companies promoting the sport in America. He arrived in Phoenix be- fore Lawrence and Kearney tried their | fatal journey and while the search for | their bodies was being carried on pre- | dicted they would never be found alive He is in this country on account of his ! wife's health. and naturally wants to get back in the flying game. For that | reason he is anxious to accept the chal- | lenge of the Sloane Aeroplane company to match race point to point, starting l from the DominqueZ field in Los An 1 geles. The conditions of the race are such as to forbid it being run in an | enclosed space. and for that reason 1 Neyvette thinks the run might be made with Phoenix as the finish point | Neyvette is willing to build the ma chine if the engine is supplied. He has some of the parts already con- l structed and it is only necessary to buy | the motor complete, finish making the planes and things, install the power and fly.

FALT|N TRIAL
 NEARING END
Possibility That the Stage of Argument May Be Reached This Afternoon; the Defendant Still Under Fire of Cross Examiner

How the theory of the defense in CT person than the defendant had murdered Carl Peterson on the morn ing of September 9, could be made to square with the blood stains found on the floor and front porch of Faiths house, was startingly and sickenly ex- plained yesterday when the direct ex- animation of the prisoner was resumed. He said that while in the front yard whither he had fled after escaping from Nick PomerO, Peterson and an unknown Italian and while Peterson was on top of the prisoner and was being beaten to death by Pomero and the Italian who mistook him for Faltin in the dark. the prisoner swallowed so much of the blood of Peterson that after the tragedy was over and he re- turned into the house, he was overcome with nausea and vomited upon the floor and the porch.
 The examination of the body before had covered all events to the eve of the tragedy. Peterson was about to retire for the last time That said Fall tin yesterday was about eleven o'clock on Sunday night Some time after midnight, Faltin said that he arose tc attend to irrigating. He returned to the house before two o'clock in the morning and after he had entered the house, he heard some one call him. II was Romero who was accompanied b3 the unknown Italian.

the upbuilding of the city. The fol- lowing sub division of the work was thought to give a basis for very eX- Cellent results: sub- committees on charter. election. public utilities, taxa tion, paving, parks, schools. sanita- tion and publicity.
 Referring again to the call for the meeting, MT. Heard noted that the committee had been called together to fOrmulate,-
 "A definite plan by which, with
 the shortest possible delay, the
 non-partisan commission form of
 government, of which a large ma
 jority of our citizens have shown
 their approval, be established along
 such lines as will promptly secure
 to the city an effective charter,
 the board of freeholders who pre-
 pare the charter, to be selected
 without reference to partisan
 politics, and the commissioners
 who shall carry such charter into
 effect, being selected purely for
 their efficiency and integrity with
 out regard to their party affilia-
 tions"
 A round of applause following the address gave evidence of the sym pathy of the committee with the remarks.
 Capt. J: l.. B Alexander expressed it as his opinion that the committee should act without delay While he believed that due courtesy was due the ladies who have been added to the committee, some action should be taken at that meeting to start the committee on it's work. He thought it was wise for the committee to select a small subcommittee. say of three members. who should be em- powered to go over the proposed charter that was rejected by the gov ernor. and eliminate the objection able features and then report back to tae whole committee. in the mean time the whole committee could be nominating the fourteen freeholders who would finally act on the charter, and the committee could also be | nominating the citizens ticket to stand for the offices required by | the charter With this idea carried | out the maximum of good could be | dCCOulDllSlleu III Ille lillIllIluill or tlllle MT. Pratt thought the sub commit I tees ought to be appointed as early | as possible. H. B. Wilkinson was glad to be in attendance and hear | outlined at least the entire object of 1 the whole committee c H Akers | spoke of the work of the sub com | mittee and the fact that all political | beliefs are represented on the whole definite concerted action, with a continuation of interest. Alexander 1 again took the floor and requeste ed l a committee be appointed to definite ly outline the work, suggesting a meeting next Monday night Eugene | Brady O'Neill moved that commit | tee of five on program and arrange | ments for the next meeting, to which 1 an amendment was offered that the original subcommittee constitute suct committee. This motion was carried I and Chairman Talbot announced that | Lloyd R. Christy. Ancil Martin. Harry A. Diehl, C. H. Akers, Dwight B | Heard, and J. O. Dunbar would there 1 fore be the committee.
 A motion to adjourn followed During the meeting, interested citi- zens dropped in by ones and two's until by the time of adjournment nearly two hundred interested Phoe- 1 nicians were present
