DEvELoPMETS AT THE
AMALGAMATED PiOCHE


On Sept. 3rd the 18th level of the
Amalgamated Pioo!p. being adv,~sed
westward, was driven into a very heavy
flow of water The drill hole which en-
countered the water was plugged and
thus the rush was stopped. So fast did
the water come in that the level of the
basin, observable in the Black Ledge
winze, receded 10 feet in twenty four
hours
This Black Ledge winze is now un-
watered to a depth of 1870 feet measured
on the incline. AT exactly 100 feet IA
station was $50 gallon pump which
to the surface of No | shaft where it is
now being repaired and cleaned up fol
service on the 14th level. When this
pump is installed there will be ca
pacity of 500 gallons per minute to the
pumping equipment at the fourteen sta
tion.
Good ore continues to come from tn,
zinc stope above the 18th level. Ship
ments of sorted ore continue at the rat,
of from IS to 100 tons per week
! Some tests on the ore recently mad
both here and at Salt Lake, show it t
be very susceptible to both water an,

Prince Con. Company
Buys Vrginia-LOuiSe

deal was closed in this city yester-
day the result of which the Prince Con-
soiidated Mining company has acquired
controlling interest in the Virginia Louise
Mining company.
1t is understood that the Prince COM
pany has taken over the stock holdings
of the Lloyd estate and Chas L. Horsey
but that II. w. Rand and associates in
Portland and st. Paul still retain their
holdings In the Virginia Louise company.
1t is understood that it is the purpose
to operate the Virginia property separate
ly from the Prince company, that Is to
say the operating costs, revenues. ETC..
other or as two units.
The deal is regarded as a very import
ant one, not only for the shareholders
Of the Prince company. but likewise to
the shareholders of the Virginia. Louise.
The acquisition of the property which
lies adjacent to the Prince. crafty adds
to the available tonnage of ore of the
Prince company, while with the facilities
for transportation afforded by the Prince
within the reach of the markets because
of the reduced costs of getting the ore
to the smelter.
The Virginia property is equipped with
double compartment shaft, sunk to
depth of i65 feet. which cut an ore body
showing for 160 feet in the shaft and 159
feet in width. Another ore body was
encountered beneath the first one show
! ing in the shaft for 20 feet and 16O feet
| in width. This last ore body is dipping
at about IL degrees and the indications
are that it extends for 1900 feet in the
property. These ore bodies are said to
be the same from which the prince Con-
solidated has been shipping 200 tons per
gay for the last two years.
Under the very able management Of
Mr. NJ. C. Godbe, the Prince company
has been steadily piling up surplus in
It's treasury and the taking over of the
new asset is regarded as "a good stroke
of business policy as the company can
now count upon supply of ore to keep
up the present production for a good
many years to come. 1t is understood
that the initial payment involved in the
transaction has been made and that
under the new management the virginis
Louise property will be placed forthwith
in the class of producers.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune,
Prince officials have recently obtained
an option on the major portion of the
stock of large, low-grade copper de-
posit. the property of the Gila Canyon
Copper company, located at Chilito Gila
county, Ariz, near the Ray Consolidated
and within six miles of the smelter al
Hayden The property appears to be a
, mountain containing many millions oi
tons of low-grade copper ore averaging
!, about | per cent copper. This propert,
is being thoroughly prospected to de-
termine whether the ore is merely cap

WARNS AGAINST FIRE.

Post cards cautioning forest users
in the Appalachian region against set
ting fires in the woods have recently
been sent by the federal forest serv-
ice to residents in the vicinity of the
forest areas which have been pur
chased by the government.
These post cards state that burning
of the woods does not improve the
grazing, and does not exterminate
poisonous insects or animals, On the
other hand, the cards say such burn
ing Injuries the grazing value of the
land by killing off the better grasses.
by decreasing the fertility of the soil
and by increasing the possible dam
age to the ground, and it's covering of
vegetation, from frost, SUM- wind and
rain. Furthermore, they state that
burning Injuries the timber. impairs its
merchantability, and lowers its selling
price; that it increases insect damage
by weakening the vitality of the trees
and affording an entrance for insects
through fire scars; and, in addition,
that it kills out the young trees
which are just getting started.
For the reasons enumerated, it Is
announced that no grazing will be al
lowed on the government lands which
have been recently burnt. the rule
being enforced in order to give the
range a chance to recuperate from
the effects of the burning. The effect
of this prohibition will be to close
certain areas against grazing; there
fore. fires set through a mistaken no
tion that they will improve grazing
will curtail the forage resources.
The cards further ask cooperation
OF all forest users in the prevention
and control of forest fires.

AMERICAN CAVIAR.

The use of the roe of salmon and
other American fish for the making
of American caviar is growing rap
idly. end as a result what at one time
was a very serious waste has been
turned into an excellent and valuable
food. The principal difference be-
tween this caviar and the Russian
caviar is, that the Russian article is
made principally out of sturgeon roe,
while excellent American caviar is
made from salmon roe, white fish
roe, and the roes of other fish that
are handled on large commercial
scale as well as from sturgeon roe.
This caviar is made in the same man.
ner as the Russian caviar. The roe
of the fish is pressed through screens
which allow the eggs to pass but hold
back all the membrane and the egg
sacks. These eggs are then packed in
a large quantity of salt which draws
some of the water and other sub
scances from them. They are then
canned or boxed and put on the mar
ket.
American caviar, the specialists of
the department of agriculture advise.
should be sold for just what it is and
labeled to show the name of the fish
from which the roe is taken, for ex-
ample, American caviar from the Pa
cific salmon should be labeled "Salm-
on Caviar; and that made from
white fish should be called White
Fish Caviar"
1t is believed that the American
caviar industry can develop a big
sale of the product on its own merits,
and should offer It as an article that
its American makers are proud to &C.
knowledge, rather than as an imita'
ton of an imported article.

FASHIONABLE millinery is gay with
L flowers and there is no end to the
flower story. After one has become
acquainted with a world of them, an
excursion into any of the best shops
will discover a new lot or new man
ner of using them, or a new color
combination that is liable to enrap-
ture the beholder They are made of
all sorts of fabrics and of other things
than fabrics. For recently (but rare
ly) small china flowers have been dis
covered on hats, and little blossoms
made of leather, or something that
looks like it. Besides, there are any
number of small fruits made OF some
sort of composition, and there are
grasses that grew out of the ground,
which no hand but natures could
fashion. They are so dainty and Won
derful with hairlike branches and
showers and pods the size OF pin
heads.
Grasses should be reckoned with
by the milliner for they appeal to the
best of her trade. There are a few
artificial grasses which, like the nat
ural ones used, have been dyed into
all the lovely colors of the season
and are used In connection with small
flowers with such fine effect that they
are sure to be in increasing demand
as the season advances.
Small flowers appear to lead in pop
ular demand, but there is no great
discrepancy between the liking for
them and for larger varieties.
Wreaths and bouquets made of sew
eral kinds of blossoms make possible
the use of many harmonizing colors
at once, which is feature of the de-
mands of this particular season. But
there are just as many hats trimmed
with flowers in a single variety as
there are trimmed with bouquets.

POTATOES FROM HOLLAND.

Potatoes may now be imported from
the Kingdom of Holland to the United
States if shipped in accordance with
the restrictions and regulations that
apply to the admission of other foreign
potatoes. Notice to this effect has just
partment of agriculture, as 1t has been
ascertained that Holland is now free
from the injurious potato diseases and
insect pests which caused the quaran.
tine of December %. 1913. to be ex.
tended against it. and has complied
with all the conditions and require
ments of the regulations governing the
importation of potatoes into this coun
try.

And there is no one flower more ia.
vored than all others. Even the rose
holds no pre-eminence, but roses OF
all sorts, from the tiniest button
roses" to the most gorgeous full
bloom, extra big kind. are blooming
on spring millinery wherever a dis
play of it is seen.
Millinery flowers deserve the sue
cess they are making. Their manu-.
facturers have produced them with
the most painstaking care. The col
ors are beautiful beyond any that have
gone before. The color combinations
are wonderful and new. Nothing ap-
parently has been too much trouble.
no detail too intricate or too small
for the makers of flowers to under
take. AS a result, millinery is charm
ing and bright, the most pleasing that
has been produced for several springs.
The illustration given here pictures
a few of the new flowers and from it
their sizes and forms can be learned
Their beauty of coloring and their
sheen and softness of texture is lost,
since they cannot be reproduced in a
picture.
The rose with long stem and foliage
is made of silk in the natural rose
colors with petals and leaves that are
marvels of fidelity to nature. The
lilacs are made of fabric manufac-
tured especially for the use of flower
makers, with a surface so like that of
the blossom that it easily deceives the
eye Velvet, also specially manufac-
tured is used for many flowers and
together with silk in some OF the
roses. Small fruits are made of it,
little green and yellow lemons and
peaches, cherries, plums and a few
grapes. Satin is used also for smaller
fruits and berries.

at the top, make very pretty fichus,
which do not need lace insertion or
edging; the pattern woven in the lace
takes their place.
These pretty accessories seem to
belong to the fabrics which are pop.
ular for summer dresses-the printed
challies and voiles, the thin and
quantity figured silks, and all the soft
crepes in cotton or silk which are SO
attractive in appearance and in price.
Many of the cotton fabrics and the
light wool challies are as beautiful in
design and coloring as the most ex.
pensive silks, after which they are
patterned. but they range in price be.
tween 40 and so cents a yard and
sometimes may be bought for even
less.
The accessories that prove the
greatest satisfaction to the wearer
are those that can be used to freshen
up dress and that will stand fresh
ening up themselves by means of soap
and water. Therefore. these net
sleeves and sprightly collars are des-
tined to play a prominent part in our
summer belongings.
JULIA BOTToMLEY.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-04-11

THE new feature in neckwear is the
Medici collar, which is supported
by small wires or tiny bones. Ruffs
and demi-collars are all made to stand
up in the most sprightly fashion
which is a quite decided change from
the slimpsy, falling-down effects
which have prevailed during the past
year.
Besides the wired collars and ruffs
there are many net undersleeves.
They extend from the elbow to the
wrist with rufiies hanging over the
hands. These rufiies are either of the
net or of fine lace and are rather full.
When made of net. fine side plaits are
preferred to plain rufiles. Also in
choosing nets fine quality is the
only satisfactory selection, because it
stands the necessary washing without
being harmed.
The Medici collar is worn with turn
down and sailor collars or without
them. 1t is combined with fichu ends
also, as shown in the illustration given
here. These ficnu ends are usually
made of net and trimmed with lace
insertions and edges. but the filmy
shadow lace woven with net pattern
