Dartmouth Players Strengthened Gale

The team work Of the visitors was a
unit of such puzzling variety that the
struggling Shamroeks were unable to
| fathom it. The ball was to be found
in their possession the greater portion
of the time, passing with facility that
bewildered the Erintes. The Caledonia
aggregation found it's main pillars Of
support in Winship, the 1915 captain of
basketball at Dartmouth college, and
"Red" Loudon, the famous three-letter
Dartmouth athlete, The accurate bas-
ket shooting of this racy brace of play
ers was responsible for the successful
Ryegate conquest. Winship Gagged the
pill seven times and Loudon fell but
one field goal behind with his talent.
"Bill" Gibson, of athletic renown at
Dartmouth in the past few years, scored
the only other field goal for Ryegate.
win" Snow, the brilliant football and
basketball player at Dartmouth, was
outpointed by his opponent, Bartlett,
the Montpelier high school player.
"Bone" Carroll, the Shamrock center,
again demonstrated his ability on the
floor. His playing, in conjunction with
the indefatigible work of Stuart, was
the feature of the Shamrock game. The
floor work and dribbling of Carroll was
superb. Ogston, the Norwich player,
who was ushered into the fray during
the closing moments, startled the spec
tators by looping pair of goals. Bart
let's defensive work was of the high
est order.
The game was started promptly on
the scheduled hour. During the first
few moments of play the Caledonians
set whirlwind pace before the visitors
found their bearings but when the first
period ended the Caledonian team was
leading by the score of l3 to a. Win
ship and Loudon starred for the winners
in this session, the former scoring two
field goals and the latter three. In the
second session the Shamrock aggregation
outpointed their opponents. When the
period was ended, the score sheet read
% to IA in favor of the visitors. Win
ship accounted for all the baskets nego-
tiated by the Ryegate lads. Grady and
Stuart Gagged spectacular field goals. The
third period witnessed the downfall of
the Shamrocks and all hopes were
crushed for state championship aspira-
tons. "Red" Loudon was the star in
this session, scoring three field goals.

bering about 100, that accompanied the

complex a question.

dances are certainly immodest. II

necessary in our beautiful city OF

MINING ACCIDENTS

The last report of the U. S. Bur.
eau of Mines relating to metal mine
! accidents in the United States is in
teresting as it shows the causes that
were responsible for the injuries. The
4,137 operators of gold mines in the
United States, employ 44,144 men, of
which 1892 work on top and 81 1922
underground. In 1912, 176 were kill
ed in performance of their duties, 80
went to their death while working
on the surface and 147 underground.
613 were seriously injured, SO on top
and 515 underground, 3,1SO were only
slightly injured, 384 on top and 2,796
underground. The killed and injur-
ed met with accident underground
in the following manner: by fall of
rock in mine, 942 by timber or hand
tools, PAS; by explosives, 81; by haul
age accidents, 416; by falling down
chute, winze, raise, or stope, IT'S; by
run of ore from chute or pocket, 24S;
by drilling accidents, 251; by elec-
tricity, were killed outright and but
5 slightly injured; by machinery, Sc;
by mine fires, Z; by suffocation from
natural gasses, II; by inrushing wat
er but one was seriously injured; by
stepping on nail, 26; by other causes,
not classified, Ala. Shaft accidents
occurred as follows: by falling down
shaft, go, of which 16 were killed and
is injured; by objects falling down
shafts, As; by breaking of cables 2
were killed and injured; by over
winding, were slightly injured; by
skip or cage, 4s; other causes, 30.
The above tabulation of accidents
shows how important it is for every
one employed in or about our mines,
to at all times use due precaution
while at their work so that the lives
of themselves and fellow employees
may not be endangered.

MINERAL PROSPECTING

We have heretofore called the read

about one-fourth of that rendered ag-

CHICKEN Pox QUARANTINE

Health Officer, Robert Johnson. has
left the following resolutions to be
printed for the benefit of the pub
lie:
1t has been ordered by resolution
at a meeting of the State Board OF
Health, held at the Capitol building
IN Denver on January 29th. 1914, that
the quarantine period for chicken po,
shall be two weeks and as much Ion
ger thereafter as symptoms of the
disease may exist, instead of three
weeks, as formerly ordered.
The quarantine on chicken pox
measles and whooping cough is not
so strict as in the more dangerous
contagious. The patient only is kept
in strict quarantine; adult members
of the household may freely come
and go as they choose, but they must
keep away from the patient. Chill
dren in the same house must be pro
hibited from attending school. and
must not be allowed to mingle with
other children.

The Senator mine, on lower Bob
tail hill, owned by John c. jenkins,
and leased by James DAILY and COM
pany, made another shipment of ore
to the Globe smelter in Denver. The
shipment consisted of an eight-ton
lot of smelling ore that returned for
first class, $50 gold, 80 silver and
AZ per cent lead. The second class
returned 1.5O gold and 20 silver. The
boys have a streak four feet wide,
and regular shipments are expected
each week. Mr.. jenkins has shown
his loyalty to the interests of the
county and the miner by giving
lease on this immense body of high
grade ore at the low royalty of II liz
per cent, and may the Lord spare his
life to let many more leases on his
many mining properties on like con-
ditions, which return large percent
age to the owner on his investment
and gives the lessee a chance to ac-
cumulate a competence to fortify
himself and family against financial
want as they glide adown the shady
side of life. Let other owners of idle
mines follow the example of Mr.. Jen-
kins and our county will soon be fill
ed with miners seeking leases.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERIES

The startling and wonderful results
In the cure of diseases by radium is
still In its infancy, and scientists are
not alone in studying it's wondrous
progress, but the untutored minds of
the people who are fortunate enough
to live in this favored garden of
Dden" are making an exhaustive
study of the earth's crust and the
emanations that are daily cast off
from It's surface, with the result that
some OF the phenomenons are per-
fectly astounding. For instance, a
man living in Leavenworth gulch,
whose house stands directly over the
Calhoun mine, one of our best radi-
um producers, was stricken with ap-
pendicitis. Before a physician was
called, his case was beyond hope,
even beyond the hope of transport
ing to a Denver hospital for treat
ment. A council of the best surgeons
in Central City was called and their
findings were that death was newt
able and an operation was perform
ed without hope, as it revealed that
the appendix was in such a decom-
posed state that the stencil was al
most nnbearable and gave the patti
ent but few hours to live.
The radio emanations cast off from
the earth's surface penetrated the
patients wound and in a few weeks
was perfectly healed and today the
man is perfectly well and performs
heavy, laborious work in a mine
daily. Another instance is that al
though Quartz hill, the center of the
radium belt, is well populated. it has
not had a death in the last fifteen
years, also that the miners from New
adaville, who have to walk across
Quartz hill to Russell gulch are not
afflicted with miners consumption"
brought about by gases in the mines.
Also that the horses used to haul
ore from the Quartz hill mines are
not afflicted with lameness, and the
wild mountain sheep seek this hill
as retreat to cure the foot rot. AS
years roll around and the science of
this wonderful element is developed,
Gilpin county will be the mecca to
which the worlds afflicted will turn.

THE RADIUM BILL

The committee on mines and min
ing in the lower house of congress
has reported favorably on the bill
providing for government control and
manufacture OF radium. The bill is
drastic in the extreme and is drawn
solely to protect the National Radium
Institute. The hearing before the in
vestigation committee brought out
the facts that the National Radium
Institute is composed of Dr. Kelly,
of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore,
and DR.. James Douglas, of New York.
To us it seems that this so-called ra-
dunn institute is no more or less
than a private monopoly, aided by a
few men in congress, that is trying
country for private ends, and If this
bill is allowed to become a law, it
Will shut out all competition. The
hearing brought out the fact that the
radium institute had no known pro-
cess for extracting radium, neither
has the government and the law will
put out of business the only two
manufactures of radium in this coun
try, who have spent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to perfect their
plants for it's extraction.
This monopolizing the product OF
the greatest element for the cure of
diseases that the world has ever
known should arouse the ire of ev.
cry one living in Colorado or Utah
and petitions should be sent to con.
gress from every hamlet in the west,
protesting against the passage of this
iniquitous law. The people of Gilpin
county little realize the destruction
it would cause our county II the bill
becomes a law, and we should arouse
hold an indignation meeting and petit.
ton by resolution our senators and
members of congress. to oppose the
passage of this bill that will be more
oppressive to the people Of Gilpin
county than is the Guggenheim com.
bination on our mineral product. Let
us get busy at once and try and pre-.
vent the passage of this bill.

TRUE HUMANITY

Can it be, that in the land we are
