Weekly Market Summary

New York. March Embarrassing heavi- ness. particularly among the railroad shares, developed toward the end Of this weeks s grail on the stock market, after several days of irregular movements
 Uncertainty as to the proposed 5 per cent increase in freight rates, the de- cidedly poor showing of the January statements of earnings, and the doubt ful outlook for accepting on favorable terms the huge amount of financing the near future calls for, made railroad shares creasingly sensitive.
 The sharp break in Chesapeake and Ohio following announcement of the terms of the $SS,Oo0,000 note issue. was thus more than ordinarily effective in shaping the course of the market.
 Stocks of the weaker railroads were unsettled with resultant sympathetic decline throughout the market. Euro pean holders of low-priced American shares again showed signs of uneasiness, and foreign liquidation. such as unset- tied the Vanderbilts few weeks ago, was continued.
 The Mexican situation also was de- pressing influence. Trade advices, while indicating further gains in some direc- tons, were less encouraging than had been hoped for.
 Pig iron statistics for February showed increased production, bVf new orders in the steel trade were slow and the cogent copper market softened.

will be cleared to No. IL and IL
levels, where much of the rich ore of
early days was found. Here is anoth
er illustration of the value of Gil
pin county mines as ore producers,
as depth is gained, and also that min.

propositions, must have a sane and
economic manager at its head, who
devotes his time and energy to the
enterprise. All former obstacles that
handicapped the production of ore In
this mine have been removed, and
from now on the Carr-Colorado will
be one of Gilpin county's foremost
producers.

NEW PROCESS OF SAVING GOLD

Tuesday, by invitation of Mr.. J. J..
Kaighan, agent for the Paul Kuehn
Hydrostatic Gold AmalgamatOr, our
mining reporter visited the Gilpin
mill at BLACK Hawk to see the mach
Inc in operation. This machine was
invented by Kuehn and is operated
in connection with stamp or concen-
trating mills to catch all the gold
that may have escaped from the
slime table or buddle and floated off
into the creek in the shape of tail
ings. The mill is operated by How
ard Wherry. who has a process OF
his own invention and who claims to
save from 80 to 95 per cent Of the
gold. se
The crude material is fed into a
hopper where 1t is conveyed to re-
volving trummel that separates all
coarse material from the fine by the
means of a IA inch mesh screen.
The fine dirt Is then conveyed over
a 2O-foot blanket to catch the rusty
gold that the plates will not pick
up. 1t then goes to Jones grooved
humping table that has speed of
$40 bumps per minute. The conveyo
that discharges the shines over the
table is composed of mesh screen OF
three different grades, where the tail
ings are discharged into the waste
flume. Into this flume is placed the
hydrostatic amalgamator that takes
up all the gold that might have escsp
ed. The amalgamator is simplicity
itself and consists of an iron pot IA
inches in diam eter, inside measure
ment, with a 3 IL inch rim to hold
the shines as they are automatically
fed through a 8 1-2 inch tube to the
quicksilver below. This pot contains
smaller pot made of copper and
silver lined which contains 25 pounds
of quicksilver. The 1-2 inch tube
mentioned rests within 3-16 of an
inch OF tie mercury and all shines
float over its surface in passing to
the flume, or waste weir. Its entire
workings are very simple and as
says from the waste show absolutely
no gold. These machines can be plac-
ed in any gulch where a small
stream of water is obtainable and
the placer gold extracted All gulch
miners and millmen should have one
of these-machines for economy.

ADVICE TO PRoeREssIvEs

A Progressive Democrat of Pendle-
ton, Oregon, suggests that all Pro-
gressives who approve of the Wilson
administration should register as
Democrats so as to be in position
to take part in the Democratic pri-
maries and help to decide who snail
nave the gum. The reasons he
gives are clear, logical and unanswer-
able. His appeal is as follows:
Register as a Democrat for the
following reasons:
u. That the party is now in the
hands of progressives.
-. 1t is in power, making good as
no other party has done, except un-
der jefferson, Jackson and. Lincoln.
"3. The Progressive element now
controlling it is none too strong with
In the party and needs the help of
all progressives in the coming pri-
maries.
~ YOu Yourself are a Democrat,
If you believe in the rule of the peo-
ple as now exercised through your
President and congress.
"5. When a party comes to express
your views through its policies and
enactments better than any other,
1t is your party and 1t is your duty
as good citizen to register under
its banner, so that you may help to
make it serve yourself and your coun
try.
"6. Register as a Democrat. re.
gardless OF what you have called
yourself heretofore. For a party is
merely an organized instrument like
a gun which will shoot for anybody
In possession of 1t. The Democratic
party is now working fine. and VII.

is shooting for you and will always
shoot for you while the progressives
control It, You, Mr.. and Mrs. Plain
People, II you register as a Demo
crat, can help to decide in the lem
ocratic primaries, who shall have the
gun.
~. Owing to the sharp division OF
sentiment within the Republican par
ty. the Democratic organization is in
better position than 1t, to execute
your Will as Witnessed by the revi
sion OF the tariff, the reform of the
currency. and the regulation of the
, trusts, all in your interest-a record
OF achievement not equaled since the
Civil War.
"S. You will be warmly welcomed
by your fellow progressives In the

A few months ago we had occasion
to call attention to the Carr-Colora-
do mine on the summit of Bobtail
hill. an old and abandoned property
that had produced many fortunes in
its heyday Of prosperity. and predict
ed great results for the future, when
the improvements. then going on,
were completed. Those predictions
are now being verified under the
skillful management of Arthur Most.
who, in connection with that prince
of mechanical art, Peter McFarlane.
have caused two blades of grass
to grow where one grew before.
The mine had been idle for years
and supposed to be worked out. The
expense OF hauling water and coal
to the very pinnacle Of the mount
WAS one Of the factors that caused
suspension. Last fall when Mr.. Most
assumed the superintendency he call
ed to his aid Mr.. McFarlane, who ad-
vised electrical power and modern
machinery. His suggestions were act
ed upon, with the result that the
mine is now equipped with up-to-date
electrical machinery Of all kinds nee
essary to successful mining.
