New exico.

Excitement prevails over the recent
strike of rich gold quartz between Sill
yer City and Lordsburg The find was
made in Thompson gulch, in the Big
Burro mountains. Specimens shown
In Silver City fairly glitter with the
yellow metal. A big find was made at
grass roots recently at a point near
Lordsburg that attracted much atten-
tion. Some of those unable to locate
at Lordsburg drifted in the direction
of Thompson gulch where mineral sat
isfying to the prospector was encoun-
tered.
The Langston mine at Pinos Altos,
being worked by Wright & Stauber.
lessees, is proving phenomenal in its
production of free gold ores. Another
strike was recently made equal to the
others. 1t had record for rich ore,
but owing to the vein having been
faulted the ore vein was lost. The
new parties working, seemingly having
solved the location of the real vein
and thus enabled to dig the rich ore
lest to previous workers of the prop
erty. The lessees have taken out for
tune in gold since acquiring posses
sion of the mine.

skunks Yield $4,000, 900 a Year.

TIE skunk brings annually to the
trappers of the United States about
three million dollars. It stands sec
ond in importance only to the musk
rat among our fur-bearing animals.
The value OF a skunk In the raw

ty-five cents to $3.50 in December
1913, and usually runs higher
In 1911 100000 skins we're export
ed to London alone. Although this
fur is not very popular in America,
Europeans favor 1t, because it wears
well and has luster which makes It
rival the Russian sable in appearance.

Ton Average

A carload of tungsten concentrates
of high grade ore is worth approx
mately $4,000 at present prices.
Put ten cent stamp on that new
location certificate and do not forget
five-cent stamp for every 800 rep

Munson & Mckenzie, who are oper-
ating the Cold Spring tungsten mine
at Nederland, have about $50 tons Of
ore out ready for shipment as soon as
prices advance. Much Of the ore is
of a very high grade.
That the tungsten industry In Boul-
der county will soon experience the
greatest boom in its history is pre-
dicted in minig circles, although the
heads of the big local companies still
continue to assert that the demand for
the black metal has not materially in
creased. They declare that the mar
ket is erratic and unstable, and that
it is impossible to predict what will
develop. Nevertheless. they are pre-
pairing for a big increase in the de-
mand of the black metal

Cripple Creek district for the month OF

Being Series of Dementia HaiIu.
cinatioDs Reported Semi-Occa-
siOnally for This Paper.
By Ernest G. FosterD Copyrighted
FEBRUARY.

For an editor to write a favorable
treatise on February is about as easy
as it is for him to help pestilential
old sinner through the pearly gates
with an obituary full of lies, when
the said old sinner owed the editor
subscription account that had been
out-lawed by time. It's one redeem
ing feature is its brevity.
The month, however, is as full OF
action as a picnic party that has
settled down on an aunt hill. En-
bryo presidents, in their Friday af-
ternoon exercises, will inform their
schoolmates that Lincoln, the great
eradicator, was born on the 18th, and
later crossed the Delaware and be-
came the father of his country, and
that Washington died on the 22nd
after discovering the Panama canal
and freeing the slaves. The weather
bureau, too, was born the 9th OF
February, 1870, and has been max
ing and breaking promises ever
since.
The fourteenth of the month will
bring the same old tales of love
when girls, though large as ele-
plants, are called a turtle dove; for
Valentines will ripen then, and pairs
begin to spoon-the starting of some
big events to eliminate in June. The
twenty-fifth will also bring respite
at least a while-from turkey trots,
the bunny hug, and other dances
wild, for Lent begins the twenty
fifth, to rest our weary lives, and
men, perchance, may once more meet
their daughters and. their wives.
Seamless hose were invented Feb.
1, 1720-just 1914 years before the
invisible hose of today. The first
pair of seamless hose were about
half an inch thick and were worn as
protection against cold. The modern
hose are about as thick as a cigaret
paper, split twice, and no one knows
why they are worn.
The closing Of the month will
bring the candidates to light-an ar
my of eXhalted men, who for us
want to fight; they seek to bring sal
walton to the lowly of our kind, but
after they're elected, our existence
slips their mind.
