CRIPPLE CREEK OUTPUT
PRODUCTION FOR MONTH OF NO
vEmBER TOTALS $1.1s2,o14.
Compared with the Corresponding
Month of Last Year Gain Of
100000 Is Shown.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Creek, Official re-
turns from mills and smelters show
that the mines of the Cripple Creek
district produced ore during the month
OF November the total gross value OF
which was $1,132.o1
Compared with the production for
August, the November totals are be.
low the figures of the former. both in
gross tonnage and value. November
was thirty-day month. but contained
a legal holiday
Two days were lost resulting direct
ly In reduced production. Daily aver
age tonnage in November was greater
than In October. The value OF this
years November production is consid-
erably more than the total values pro
duced during the month OF November
nearly 100000.
From all authentic sources where in
Quiry has been made reports are to the
effect that the mines Of the district are
in good condition, in better shape to
increase production than they were at
this time year ago. This favorable
status applies especially to the bigger
mines. such as the Portland, Vindica-
tor. Golden Cycle, Elkton, Isabella,
Cresson and others.
The new ore bodies developed at
great depths in some OF those mines
are very rich. and of actually immense
proportions in mining sense. The
total production for the last month in
the present year will probably be
larger than for any of the other
months of the year, and 1t is thought
may prove to be a record-breaker, If
the present favorable weather contin-
ues through December. Following Is
the November output in detail:

LAS ANIMAs NAVAL HOSPITAL
Surgeon General Suggests One Place
for Treatment of tuberculosis.

for Treatment of Tuberculosis.
Washington, ID. CA great tuber
culosis hospital for all branches of
the governmental service may be es-
tablished at Las Animas, Colo. The
annual report of w. C. Braisted, sur
geon general Of the navy, says 367 pa
tients were treated at the Las Ami
mas naval hospital in 1913. He adds:
THE government maintains three
sanatoria for tuberculosis-the army.
the public health service and the navy
having separate institutions. which
are maintained at great expense.
1T is believed that these could be
combined, and that single institution
could care for the patients of all three
services at a greatly reduced expense
and with no loss of efficiency.
while the joint use of hospitals is
not considered practical or desirable
under usual conditions, these objec-
tions do not obtain in the case of tu-
berculosis sanatoria, since the patients
of these institutions are rarely re-
turned to duty. and their military ef-
ficiency may be considered as ended
when treatment In a tuberculosis hos
pital is found necessary
