DEATH OF FRED ROWE

Fred Rowe, an old time miner of
this city died in Denver last Thurs
day, of miners complaint.
Mr.. Rowe was born in Helston,
Cornwall. England in 1868 and came
to America and Gilpin county in 1894.
The following year he was working
in the Americus mine, when the wat
er broke into his workings from the
Fisk mine and drowned eleven men
in that, and the Sleepy Hollow mine.
About two years ago, he married the
widow Of the late Edward Rule, and
established home in this city. Be-
sides a widow, he leaves a mother,
two sisters and brother in the old
country to mourn his loss. He was
member of Gilpin lodge No. 5, X.
of p, of this city, and his remains
were brought up from Denver and
buried in the X. of P. cemetery at
Central City. Sunday, by the breth-
rem of his order.

ST. MARv's CATHOLIC CHURCH

On last Sunday, February 1st. thoe
who assisted at mass enjoyed a rare
treat. During both services at and
10 o'clock, Mr.. Johnny Balfe, header
OF Balfe's popular orchestra, render
ed several sacred selections on the
violin. His rendition of the different
numbers was indeed most beautiful
and perfect in every detail and all
who were fortunate enough to be
present on the occasion, left with a
better idea of the grandeur and ex-
cellence of sarced music. In the af-
ternoon in honor of a special feast
day being celebrated on that day, Mr..
Balfe gave splendid concert for
the sisters of ST. Aloysius academy,
which was most thoroughly enjoyed
and appreciated. Father Naughton
personally and the good sisters take
this occasion of thanking Mr.. Balfe
for his extreme kindness on this oc-
casion, and hope that they will enjoy
similar treats on the occasion of his
future visit to Central City.

STATE MINING CONVENTION

One hundred and fifty representa-
lives from twenty-five mining coun-
ties OF Colorado, will attend the
state convention called by Commits
sioner of Mines, T. r. Henahen, to
meet February 10Th. A majority of
the counties participating voted in
favor of Denver as the place of meet
ing and the convention will be held
In the chamber of the house of rep
resentatives at the state capital The
railroads have granted the conven-
tion rate of one full fare for the
round trip from all counties rep
resented.
County associations already have
been perfected and when the conven-
tton meets, it will organize the state
association. All counties are anxi-
GUS to have thorough organization
that will work for the industry the
year round. Heretofore the indus
try has not been organized, and the
mining men realize what they have
lost.
The convention will sizzle with res
oluttbns that will be an awakening
to the people of Colorado. Among
the questions discussed at county
meetings, was taxation of mines, the
changes in national and state laws
relating to mining, encouragement of
prospecting, home leasing pools, &c
onomical treatment of lowgrade ores,
the erection of experimental plants,
encouragement of capital and proper
support by the state and federal gov
ernments of an industry which pays
one-half of the taxes of Colorado.
In some of the richest mines of
Colorado" declares Commissioner of
Mines, T. r. Henahen, twenty-five
per cent of the values contained in
the ores is lost because there is no
known method of saving it, This
tremendous waste of wealth should
be stopped by the government. The
farmer has been taught how to make
a poor farm profitable; the miner
has been left to his own resources.
Mining receives only $1.O0 from the
state and federal government for ev-
cry $500 devoted to the improve
ment of agriculture. If the govern
ment will teach the miner how to
treat his low grade and complex ores
at profit and how to extract high
er per cent of values from the ores
non treated, hundreds OF idle mines
in the west will pour forth wealth,
mines now paying dividends will
greatly increase their profits and the
payrolls will increase fourfold.

BISHOPS DAUGHTER NEAR VIC
TORY WITH RADIUM AS ALLY

Miss Margaret Quayle, daughter Of
Bishop VIM. A. Quayle, of the NJ. e.

the radium treatment for cancer, has
so much improved that she may be
able to leave the sanitarium within
a few weeks. This information came
from Mrs. Quayle last week.

WHY sAD.Sm - A,en

The artificial price of radium,
low in the Times of Thursday last.
has been the subject of much dis
crssion in radium- manufacturing cir
cles, as all those interested in this
new work realizes that no matter
what fresh supplies of mineral may
be found, there will always be very
heavy works costs involved in its
extraction. Pitchblende contains Of
ten 60 per cent of uranium, while
the minerals now being looked to
for the increased supplies of radium
frequently contain only l or go. The
radium is present in the same rela-
tive proportions, and carnotite and
autunite may contain as little as five
milligrams of radium to the ton of
ore.
The value of radium is hardly in
trinsic in the fullest sense; it de-
pends upon the expenses of treating
the mass of mineral with which it is
associated. The mere fact that it
may take 40 or ~12 months or more
to obtain pure radium bromide from
the ore alone indicates the high cost
of treatment. While, also, there is
such deplorable shortage of radium,
many countries are willing to pay
almost any price to obtain the pri-
ority of delivery.
1t is hardly just, writes a we'll
known radium chemist. to put the
blame on those responsible for pre-
pairing the radium, but 1t is reason
able to hope for reduction in price
when means have been improved for
the treatment of the lowgrade min
erals. In treating these poorer-grade
ores the proportion of radium to the
local mass Is so minute that 1t re-
quires the greatest skill and effici-
ency to avoid losing most Of It in
the ordinary works losses. Skilled
operators, expensive machinery and
the length of the various processes
involved are alone responsible for
the greater part Of the expense. al
though the attention Of many scien
tific men is at the present moment
being directed to means OF reducing
the length and number Of the opera
tion.-London Times.

HUMANITY'S APPEAL

U. s. Senator C. S. Thomas made
a brief visit to the state this week
The object Of his trip west was pri
marily to deliver an address in
Grand Junction Monday morning. He
proceeded to Denver where he spent
36 hours before returning to Washing
ton. In the course of his speech at
Grand Junction, Senator Thomas said
in reference to the bill providing for
the withdrawal of all radium-bear-
ing lands from entry:
'"The appeal of humanity was ire
sistible. Sufferers and relatives and
friends of sufferers of the dread
scourge of cancer" he said, "sent
in about 5000 petitions, asking that
the lands be withdrawn. About a
thousand petitions came to me and
our other representatives at Wash
ington also received them. There
were many protests, but the appeal
could not be resisted.
''The Foster bill for the control of
the radium lands will probably pass
with a few notifications. In the
final form of the bill the restric-
tions on the lands probably will ap-
ply only to certain sections. l think
It will be acceptable to the people

He has had photographed several of

expect to see Gilpin county get her
ferent mining journals. His write-up
