be cracked to the bone. My hands
were so bad that I had to sleep with
gloves on. The cracks in my lips
would bleed often during the day and

them to try to keep them closed. My
toes would bleed, and l would find
blood in my socks when the days

When BEATING Enos.

Eggs should be beaten In different
ways according to the use they are to
be put to, whether much air is to be
beaten in or whether a fine close tex
ture Is wished. The latter is the re-
suit when the Dover egg beater Is
used, as 1t Is operated by turning
wheel without lifting the beater from
the egg so Incorporating little air. The
,dat wire beater gives the airiest tex
iture Of all. and is best to use for angel

LEcksNsY FOR STATE AUDITOR

Charles II. Leckenby of the Steam
boat Pilot, is our choice for state au-
ditor for several reasons. First, that
when a young man, he had the cour-
age and hardihood to establish a pa
per in the wilds of Routt county, and
for years has labored to build up the
northwest portion of our state, with
the result that today Routt county is
an empire within itself, and his paper
has had much to do in bringing the
wonderful resources of that county to
the eyes of the world. And sec
ondly. that he always has been a
consistent Democrat who has ever aid
ed his party in defeat as well as vic
tory without reward. We feel that Mr..
Leckenby's years of devotion to his
party should have a well-earned re-
ward, and he should be selected by
the party as auditor. for the above
reasons, as we'll as an empire builder
of the northwest.

this dashing old man and his bride
boarded the train. and when the con-
ductor collected the tickets, this
comely groom. either from chicanery
or absent mindedness. presented a
ticket of recent date for the bride,
but his bore the date of four years

ANOTHER OLD PRO-
DUcER is STARTED

The Galena mine, on Central City
hill, just above the depot, owned by
the Alpha Mining company, has been
leased for three years to Max Gabar-
di and company, who has formed a
leasing pool, under the name of the
Galena Leasing Co. John Stroehle,
OF Stroehle and Sons, boiler makers,
is now engaged in fitting up the
machinery, preparatory to starting
work at once. 1t is the intention of
the new company to put the shaft in
first-class condition to the bottom, a
distance of 625 feet and the com
pany will start drifts each way on
the 600 level into virgin ground where
large ore bodies are known to exist.
The three, four and five levels will
be cleaned out and sub-leased to 9th
er parties. The 500 level alone has
produced over 100000 and the two,
three and four a like proportion.
These levels have hundreds of feet
OF virgin ground as prolific as that
already worked out, while the 600
foot level will be all new ground.
This mine, before closing. had been
worked for nine years steady and in
that time has produced hundreds of
thousands of tons of ore, and the
smelling ore was always of high
grade. This is the sixth mine that
has been reopened within the last
two weeks and when the administra-
ton has taken the American Smelter
& Refining Co. in hand, and give us
competition in the sale of our ores.
Gilpin county will again take her
place as the worlds great gold pro-

BIG BUSINESS BOOM;
CAN'T GET MEN ENOUGH

Altoona, Pa, July 20-With every
department of the Altoona shops, the
industrial center of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company working full
time and many departments working
overtime. this city is enjoying an I'M
surpassed era of prosperity.
Within the last few days additional
orders for engines and cars have
been placed with the shops here and
enough work is now on hand to keep
all departments working for at least
d year.
An order for eighty-one freight en-
gines the largest ever used by the
Pennsylvania, has been placed with
the Juniata shops, while an order has
just been placed with the car shops
for 1000 all-steel box cars, the most
costly equipment of its kind ever Or
dered by the railroad.
Some months ago there was slight
suspension in the Altoona shops and
about / 200 men were laid off. With
in the last ten days, practically all of
these men have returned to work,
while additional mechanics have been
employed from other cities.
In fact, the conditions of Altoona
have improved to such an extent that
contractors who are carrying on large
operations about Altoona, are expert
encing great shortage in the labor
market.
The ID. c. Serber company, engaged
in building a large sewage disposal
plant and a twin reservoir, has been
forced to obtain outside help from
the firms headquarters at Washington
and 400 men still are needed.
To turn out the equipment that has
been ordered, the Pennsylvania engi-
neers are rushing plans for the build
ing of a mammoth spring annealing
plant, which will be a part of the
company's shops in this city. The
present spring plant, one of the larg
/ est in the world, is inadequate to
supply the springs needed. The new
q
work on it will be started within the
next month.
| So great has become the work in
all the departments here that the Of
their usual shop picnics, as the Off
GERS of the company in Philadelphia
have asked that the work Just order
ed be turned out as rapidly as possi-
BILE.
| Modern machines that will increase
the output of engines and cars are be
ing installed in the Juniata car shops,
and these will require the employ
ment of additional men.
The engineers of the test depart
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad for
the last two weeks have been test
ing out a huge passenger locomotive
built in the Juniata shops as model.
So far. the tests have proven the ef-
ficiency of the engine, and a high
Pennsylvania official stated that it
was likely that an order for at least
fifty of these engines would be plac-
ed with the Juniata shops during the
next month.
There is the greatest activity in all
business circles in Altoona, due to
the era of prosperity in the shops,
and leading business men declare that
their record of business for 1914 will
be ahead of anything done in years.

KEYSTONE GROUP SOLD

Inc keystone group OF mines IN
the Quartz Valley district, consist
ing of six patented claims owned by
John G. jenkins, president Of the
First National bank, of this city, was
sold Friday for $4,000 to Grand
Rapids syndicate. T. x. Cudahy, a
noted mining man OF this city, financ-
ed the deal, and will assume charge
of the property for the new company.
Five of the mines in the group are
already producers, having large bodies
of concentrating ores in connection
with a highgrade smelling ore, re-
turning as high as SIS in values per
ton.
In connection with the two plants
already upon the property, another
hoisting plant will be added immedi
ately, and it is the intention of the
new company to either buy or build
mill to treat the large bodies of
posed in the property, at no distant
date. After the property has been
more fully developed, electric plants
will be installed, instead of the pres
ent steam plants, and an electric COM
pressor will be used for machine
drills. Manager Cudahy will have
charge of all work and improvements,
and it is his intention to sink the
Buckeye shaft No. 8 an additional 100
feet, that now has six feet of con-
centrating ore in the bottom of the
shaft. The Gold Cup drift will be ex-
tended south to cut well known veins
belonging to the property. The Key
stone shaft will be unwatered and
sunk another hundred feet and drift
the pocket where Stevens and com
pany took out over 100000 in early
days. The new company will begin
operations at once, in order to get
the property in SHAPE before winter
closes in, and steps will also be TAX
en- whereby the company will handle
their own concentrating ores.
The property was sold on the re-
port of S. A. Rank, a mining engin-
eer of Central City. who will be the
consulting engineer for the new com
pany. The group is all comparative
ly virgin ground. as the deepest
shaft on the property is only 200
feet. The property is we'll situated
for working tie year round. with
coed roads to the mines and lying
less than mile from Central City.
This is only the first of a series of
sales that will take place in Gilpin
county this fall, as several more
deals are already on the tapis. The
idle capital of the east is beginning
to realize that the greatest returns
are made from legitimate mining, and
Gilpin county, where gold was first
discovered, and whose mines have
been worked for over 80 years with
out showing signs of exhaustion is
the most fitting field of the entire
west.
