Monday, in company of II. H. Hall,
secretary of the Bates Leasing com
pany and S. A. Rank, consulting en-
gineer, we visited their mine and
mill at Black Hawk At the orehouse
we round the bins we'll filled with
smelling ore that returns nearly
three ounces gold to the ton besides
the silver and copper values. The
bins at the dump contain 200 tons of
concentrating ore, and $50 tons of
concentrating ore is stored in the
various levels throughout the mine
waiting to be hoisted. The three
and four hundred levels are being
driven both east and west on streaks
OF smelling ore that vary from SIX
to twelve inches wide of good
grade, with continuous bodies of con-
oentrating ore that averages 2 1-2
feet in width. Eleven men are now
employed, but an additional force
will be engaged as soon as the con-
gested portion of the mine is reliev-
ed. We then visited the old Horn
mill that has been recently fitted up
with modern machinery for the treat
ment of the company's ore, and here
We found an additional $50 tons of
ore awaiting treatment.
The mill is 175 feet long and equip
ped with a hundred II. p. boiler that
furnishes the motive power. 1t has
one crusher, XII, one set of Krom
rolls, 14x22. and Huntington mill.
and five Horn slime tables for con-
centrating the shines and three VIII
fley tables. The concentrating end
of the mill is driven by ten h. p.
electric motor that operates the Ia
bles and other machinery at that end
OF the mill. Stroehle and Sons fit
ted up the mill and John Stroehle
is in charge. The mill has been in
operation but few days and the
machinery has not been Thoroughly
adjusted to test the exact saving,
but so far is working satisfactorily.
At present the capacity is 25 tons
every eight hours but will be enlarg-
ed to meet demands.

was abandoned property. and show

an Isbel table capable Of treating

will be added as custom demands.
The mill will be in operation in a
few days and will be devoted entire
ly to custom work, and is supposed
to effect a great saving over the old
fashioned Gilpin county mills.
The mill and all its parts will be
operated by electricity. and will be

successful career.

HERE'S A TOWN THAT

Omitted Press Dav seryIce)


Conneaut, O., June 29.--The little
city of Conneaut, with only 5000 in
habitants and lying four miles east
of Cleveland on Lake Erie has "out-
munlcipaled" municipal Cleveland.
This quiet little port claims the dis
tincticn of being the only municipal
summer resort in the country.
Every night hundreds of men and
women leave the wharves and glass
factories to enjoy swim at the munich
pal beach, to eat a municipal meal or
TO sleep in a municipal bed at the mu-
nicipal hotel. If they wish, they can
dance at the municial dance hall or
ride in the municipal roller coaster,
and Sunday they can see baseball
game played by municipal teams. For
twelve years Conneaut saw its resort,
whicn had been purchased at cost
of $4,000, mismanaged and run down
by private individuals to whom it's had
been leased. Last fall ID. w. Brace
was elected mayor and S. w. Mahaf-
few director of public service on a So
cialistic ticket. Brace had been a rail
road conductor and Mahaffey day la
borer. The first thing Brace and Ma
haffey did was to clean up the park
so that it might become real place
of rest for people of small means.
That they succeeded was shown in the
first warm daYs of June, when neonla

Berkeley, Cal, June 29.--That there

years ago men Of a very large de
gree Of intellectual development is the
conclusion drawn by Professor j. g.
Merriam Of the state university here
from careful study of the skull OF
a prehistoric human being found re-
Gently in the asphalt sink at La Brea.
The professor said that there couli
be no doubt, from surrounding geologi-
cal indications, of the approximate age
in which the owner of the skull lived.
In the same pit were the bones Of
lower animals recognized as belonging
to the same period. The skull, as Mer-
riam pointed out, is but slightly small
er than that of the present day MAJ.
The forehead is high and from the size
of the brain cavity and other general
indications he felt confident that the
heads owner belonged to type of far

MAY HAVE OSTRICH FARM

Ostriches by the carload is the prop

but one of the large concerns in Los
Angeles has grown such great num-

helping to establish an ostrich farm

One of the advantages Of estaf-

birds, it is said, as they require large
amounts of fair sized gravel for their

DETERIORATION OF
THE HUMAN RACE IS
CONSIDERED IN MICHIGAN

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. 5.-To de-
termine whether the human race is de-
tersorating, and if so, TO classify the
downward tendencies and correct
them where possible, and to institute
measures to improve the standard of
mankind are some of the tasks out
lined in the program of the National
Conference on Race Betterment to be
held in Battle Creek, January S-12.
The Conference will include two hun
dred prominent scientists, educators
and men in public life and will con-
stitute the most competent group of
thinkers ever assembled in the United
States to consider matters of race de-
generation. The consideration of the
subject, however, is not new. In the
British Isles, the tendencies toward
race degeneracy became so acute that
the British Parliament. a few years
ago, appointed a commission to study
conditions and recommend methods of
reform. There has also been official
consideration Of the downward tend
ency of humanity in France.
Fifty speakers will address the Con-
ference on every angle of race better
ment. Such topics as the declining
birth-rate, sterilization. sex hygiene,
marriage and genetics, public repres-
sion of the social evil and the respon-
sibilities of parenthood will be handled
in a singularly frank manner. Radical
recommendations are expected as re-
suit of the consideration of the vari
Gus phases of race degeneration.
Among the speakers and their sub
jects are: DR.. Stephen Smith, vice
president of the New York State
Board of Charities, The Basic Princi
pies Of Race Bettermenth; DIR. Ernest
Hoag, Leland Stanford university
school Hygiene; Rev. Newell Dwight
