CRIPPLE CREEK OUTPUT
TOTALS SUM OF s4,2so,ooo FOR
Z FIRST QUARTER OF 1915.
Indications Are That the District viii
Produce at Least $4,000 900
During Present Year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denyer.-When the Cripple Creek
district was visited by 800 capitalists
and miners the last three days Of
Feoruary-to celebrate the remark
able gold strike in the Cresson mine
1t was estimated the years gold out
put of the camp would be $4,000, 900,
compared with 312,000,000 in 1914.
For January. February and March,
1915, the Cripple Creek samplers re-
turned $5,0O0,O0O as the result Of fire
assay tests. Allowing fifteen per cent
for sampling and metallurgical losses
this means $4.250,OOO for the quarter
and $17,000,O00 for the year, from a
fire assay, or actual output of $780,
100000. The sampling at metallurgi-
cal loss was placed at twenty per cent
in 1918 and at seventeen per cent in
1914. This year the percentage OF
smelling ore is increased from five
per cent of the total in 1918 to eight
per cent in the first quarter of 1915.
For last year-owing to rich ore In
deep levels-it was seven per cent,
leaving ninety-three per cent to be
handled by the local mills and by the
large plants at Colorado City, where
light roast Is used. AS fresh ore
strikes are a matter Of daily occur
renee the camp may be relied upon to
make good this $18,000,000 estimate
and this means $18,00O,000 at the
mines, not at the Cripple Creek
samplers.

WILLARD WINS IN 18TH
White Man Takes Championship Title
From Black Boxer In Terrific
Battle at Havana.

Ringside, Miramir Race Track, Ha-
vana, Cuba.-Jess Willard, Kansas
cowboy, brought back to the white
race again Monday the worlds heavy
weight pugilistic championship. Thir-
ty.eight-year.old Jack johnson went
down before one of the cowboys hay
makers in the twenty-sixth round.
The 2S-year-old boy who now holds
the title of kingpin of the ring
astounded even his friends by his ring
generalship. Time and again he evad-
ed the crafty rushes Of Johnson,
known as the greatest exponent Of
boxing in the ring.
During the last few rounds OF the
fight johnson wearied perceptibly. He
hung on tenaciously. The giant white
hope shook himself free as bear
shakes loose an adversary, and con.
tinually pounded away. Up until al
most the last Johnson kept his cum
ming. He laid traps. But the West
erner was wary.
There were very few tame rounds.
For the most part, the men mixed it
freely. 1t was fight, all in ALL that
delighted the crowd of about 1890
people.
Pandemonium broke loose as Ref
cree Welsh counted the numbers that
relegated Jack Johnson to the beyond
and raised aloft the gloved hand Of
the new worlds champion. 1t was a
battle of youth against age - 2S
against 3S-and, just as Willard pre-
dicted, youth won. :.
It was the Kansan's famous left,
followed by a quick right to the chin,
that knocke the negro cold and won
the cowboy the title. The blows
smacked out with dash Of speed that
was bewildering. Almost before the
crowd at che ringside knew 1t, the
black man was down and out.
johnson went over like log. He
did not even try to get up.

Denver-The familiar little green
trading stamp and other souvenirs Of
the merchandising ability of retailers
will be thing Of the past within the

terms Of measure passed by the
present Legislature and signed by
Governor Carlson. Along with the
trading stamps and other premiums

which automobiles, pianos, diamonds,
watches, scholarships, foreign tours
and other prizes are awarded. The
new law makes it an offense to en-
gage in the "gift enterprise" business
in any way and affixes a heavy penal
ty for violations. The term "gift en-
terprise" is not defined, as it is con
sidered dangerous to attempt to de-
fine it. The same sort of a statute,
however, has been upheld by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court without

As It's requirements for life saving ap-

is to be carried to the courts
The Fusionists. through Mr. Alex

promise, but the Straightouts have re-
pied in every instance that they can
not compromise with the law. The
primary act of 1914. they contend
directs how the primary shall be con

their friends can override it. This

does not lie in our hands, in Mr.. Alex

ton and the law Is plain that the
judges must be named by the electoral
board This the electoral board has
done. 1t Is now for Mr.. Alexander to
say whether he will enter a Demo-
cratic primary, called by the hignes,
