Net Profit of S7,266.

Boulder, Colo.-A net profit OF ST.
266 from 100 acres is the record made
this season by Louis Bier, a farmer
residing near Berthoud. Bier's sugar
beet crop yielded nineteen and two
thirds tons an acre. The beets sold
at the sugar factory for $5.95 ton,
the gross amount which Bier received
for the beets being 1892. Cost of
production brought this figure to a net
profit of 1926.
Sheriff Sanford D. Buster of Boul-
der county also had an exceptional
yield of sugar beets on farm which
he owns near Hygiene. Seventeen
acres yielded an average Of fifteen
tons each, or a total Of 1923 tons. The
percentage of sugar in the beets was
high and they sold at the sugar factory
for $500 a ton. The gross returns
were s2.100, or-about 1923 an acre.
Buster estimates that the cost Of pro-
duction was $45 an acre. This gives
him net profit of SIS per acre.

Before San Juan.

6eroro san Juan.
Ages seemed to have passed when
Holton was aroused by pleasant
voice and the sensation that some re-
vivifying fluid had been forced down
his throat. Some very sympathetic
hand was touching his head and a
genial voice was addressing him.
"Come, old man, you're all right The
bullet just clipped your very thick
head and glanced off,"
Holton opened his eyes and saw a
tall, broad-shouldered surgeon bending
over him.
"How do you feel now1" he asked.

"Oh, you can get up just as soon as

FIND HIGH GRADE ORE
MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD SEEN
IN RICH STRIKE.
Chamber Of Sylvanite Ore Found In
Working Of cresson Group Of
Mines at Cripple Creek.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Creek-One of the richest
ore strikes in the annals Of the Cripple
Creek district is reported from the
twelfth level in the main workings Of
the Cresson group, owned by the Cres-
son Consolidated Gold Mining & Mill
ing Company, closed corporation,
with chief offices at Chicago. In run
ming a cutoff from the ore vein a
"vug" or chamber of high-grade syl-
yanite was discovered. This has been
exploited to some extent, and conserv-
ative mine managers, who have had
years of experience with sylvanite, de-
clared that the stuff in sight Is worth
at least s1,000.OOO. How much more
is beyond or within reach of this par
ticular discovery it is not possible to
estimate at present.
This "vug'' or chamber is similar in
formation to the rich strikes in the
Little Jonny" at Leadville, in many
OF which the gold yield is $50 to the
pound Of material, which Is usually

mine and shipped as bullion to the fed.

The Cresson group, one of the best
examples of systematic development
in the district, covers some forty acres
of patented claims on Raven and Bull
hills and Is surrounded by steady pro-
ducers. Early in the year the Cresson
company took over the Maggie group
from which several sets of leasers
made comfortable sums
The Cresson is capitalized at 81 1,000,-

Holton blushed; and then, thanking
his benefactor. once more he psssed

two privates, wounded In the legs.
As Holton wandered down a line of
tents, he ran into Aldridge, Buxton
and Fisher, all OF the flagship New
York. He fairly flung himself into
their arms. and. overjoyed at seeing
them for themselves not only. but be-
cause Of the opportunity it gave him
Of getting the information he had OBJ
tanned through to Admiral Sampson.
After lunching with his friends an
guests Of the Junior officers Of the
Third cavalry, Holton made his way
to General Skaters headquarters.
The general was sleeping and could
not be awakened. but Holton retailed
his information concerning the spy to
Lieutenant Miley, who received 1t
with great politeness and apparent
gratitude, but obviously with little
faith either In the fealty or the ef-
fcacy Of the Cubans-a state OF mind
that Holton found prevalent among
most Of the officers Of the army.
The army had been ordered to
move to Ell Paso. or rather in the di.
rection OF Ell Paso, and there was
much to engage Holton's interest
The trail leading into the jungle was
congested with light artillery, ambu-
lance wagons and marching men.

a few seconds of pulseless silence.
Again Holton's pistol rang out. This
time. from the direction Of the hidden
advancing forces. there came several
short. sharp commands. As Holton
lay hidden, thankful that the Spaniards
had evidently attributed the shots to
some overanxious soldier on their own
side. he saw two Cubans steal along
the trail and behind them a gigantic
young sergeant In = the uniform of a
Rough Rider.
Close behind him were four men,
They were picking their way stealth
lily. There was no question that Hol-
toms shots had the desired effect
Then. as he looked, several long.
lancelike lines Of flame darted out Of
the bushes in which the Spaniards lay.
The valley resounded with a racketing
uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider
sergeant stop short with a look of sur
prise upon his face. saw his jaws set
gr1mly. saw him advance a step, and
then heave forward on his face, block
Ing the trail with his body.
The bushes beneath Holton were
now darting sheets Of flame and the
gases from the smokeless powder drift
ed upward and into his nostrils.
From the American side he heard a
crashing as the main body rushed up
into action or deployed into the grass
to the eastward Of the trail and then
suddenly out of the thicket came the
roar of the Krags. Holton thrilled
with pride as he noticed that the aim
Of the Americans was low and that the
shooting discipline was excellent.
The firing was incessant and Holton,
whose activities with his revolver had
brought volley or two In his direc-
ton, now ceased firing and began to
work his way into the valley toward
the American position. He had not
gone far when the advancing lines
swept upon him.
Hello. Bud" cried a tall. swarthy-
faced sergeant from a New Mexican
ranch, "whatrs you doin' way out
hereT
Holton smiled and was about to re-
ply when a red light suddenly flashed
before his eyes and he clapped his

though a red-hot brand had suddenly
been clamped upon It. Then merciful-
ly came darkness.
And as he lay thus in the tall grass.
his eyes closed, blood streaming down
his cheeks and coagulating in the hot
sun. the Rough Riders met the regu-
lars from across the valley, while four
companies revolved around the left
end of the hidden enemy and then, as
the Spaniards later put 1t, they start
ed to catch US with their hands,"
For mile and a half these men,
who had marched into what approx
mated deadly surprise. chased the
Spaniards. sent them flying hastily
from three successive barricades until
finally, in utter route, they abandoned
all thought Of further interference
with the American movement and fell
back on the trenches before Santiago.
But Holton did not witness this
triumph Of Guasimas. Long after the
thin blue line had swept on up the val
ley he lay as he had fallen. vultures
flying over him and terrible land-crabs
rattling about, seeking for that food
which death alone makes palatable to
them.
