A Fierce Fire

Just as we were going to pres s
the east fire bell sounded the
alarm and the large apartment
house, owned by c. j. Diel and
occupied by the families of G. V.
Benson and Fay Roberts was dis
covered to be on fire, the flames
being in the upper part of the
building. AS soon as possible two
lines OF hose were run and water
pouring upon the flames which
were very difficult to subdue, ow-
ing to their Icing chiefly in the
attic. Willing nands tried to save
the contents of the rooms. but
loss to both families is heavy. At
this time the origin of the fire is
unknown. The loss to the build

Rich Discovery of Tin Ore.


Ore which will probably net the
finders many thousands of dollars
has bccn found 10y Charles Harris
and kemper Dunlap ON their claims
on Iule creek. The men have good
samples containing tin. copper ard
zinc. They have had assays taken
in Leadvillc and Denver to deter
mine the value in the above three
minerals. The returns showed good
values. one showing 8 per cent cop
per and three per cent ant'mony,
valned ut $50; the tia ore proved OF
high grade and very valuable while
the zinc showed 80 per cent.
Situated within II short distance
of the marble quarrics, Travelled over
for many years by prospectors who
pronounced them worthless and
thought the zinc low grade iron
these claims were passed up 10y the
prospcctors until Dunlap and Harris
came along, felt interest enough to
have competent assays made which
brought to their knowledge the real
character of the ore and the fact
that the thought to-bc worthless
claims were of value sufficient to
cause the owners to plan develop
nent of the claims and the probable
erection If Il mill of their own for
the treatment of their ores.
Mes=rs. Harris and Dunlap are
enthusiastic over the outlook and
think that Gunnison, Pitkin. Gar
field and Eagle counties have enough
of this class of ore to supply the
entire United States with tin.
Should Clearing House for
Prospectors, such us il advocated by
Judge Deane elsewhere in this issue,
be established, its work might posi-
blv reveal unexpected values in these
and similar claims and develop
mcnts Of Il startling nature result,
and much needed impetus given
the mining industry in this section

Eiohtinc Quicksand.

In sinking a shaft there are few
things that a miner can encounter
which are more unwelcome TO hir:i
than a deep vein of guioksand. That
is what has been struck at a Michigan
iron mire. In quicksand the ordinary
procedure of timbering down as the
eYcavntiuS is done is impossible. In
most instances the work must be done
in much the same manner as caisson
is sunk This makes necessary tho
construction OF u casing by bolting To-
gether heavy timbers equally about
foot in thickness. At the bottom or
each wall of this timbered chimney
q cutting shoe is trimmed on the il
side so as to assist the shaft in sink
ing under its own weight. All the ma
tcrial beneath the walls of the strrc-
tnrc is in this way squeezed. or cut.
into the confines OF the casing. while
the latter gradually sinks AZ the OK
cavating is carried on. As rapidly "a

A Clearing House for the
Prospector.

In a recent article in The Com
mercial there are nine things laid
down for. the salvation Of Denver.
says Judge j. w. Deane, OF Aspen,
in recent contribution to that pa
per. To that list / have no desire
to add, but, as coming within the
scope of that enumeration, | have
seen no mention IF the plan of the
eminent mining engineer OF Denver.
Theodore Van Wagenen, whereby a
CLEARING house shall be\ established
ir Denver for the men of the hills.
A place should be established where
miners can report their finds. obtain
information of the class Of the metal
contained within the ore and some
thing as to its uses, in what demand,
prevailing prices, where treatment
may be had, aud at what cost; to
what market to send it, and the
other various items of information
that would make the reporting OF
the find worth while.
Such central bureau would nat
urally come into the possession OF n
plant for testing. and perhaps that
plant would attain commercial con-
sequence. There would result an
accumulation Of mineral specimens
as money could not buy. Very val
liable reports would accumulate.
knowledge would be disseminated
ina multitude Of ways. Experts
would supervise.
To such It source, inquiries for
properties would be addressed.
There would no market anywhere
unknown to the clearing house. 1t
would dignity mining and the
search for the rare minerals.
Colorado has almost, everything
under the sun in the way of ore.
Tho test. of the unusual often Leads
toa knowledge ofthe priceless. The
meteorological, metallurgical and the
chemical departments would rank
with the best anywhere.
Reports verified by. the bureau
would be Of value. and would be de-
pended upon as the basis of sales.
Correct estimates Of the value of
claims would begiven to'tlr locator.
What n scar ;h for and .how'to find
it would be told. How To properly
locale would be taught the pNs-
pector.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1915-10-23

The bulletins oi such bureau
would be in wide demand. Pros
pectors would not be subject to inn
position and defraudine. There
would be available financial help.
Yonng men could receive instruction
and pay in service.
At the present the prospector docs
not know where to go. He has not
the means for expensive tests. Not
all assayers can make the determin-
ntions. Few assayers report any
thing except as TO what they are
Specifically asked about. There are
very competent men in this state
whose interest would be drawn and
whose service would be free.
Colorado produces molybdcnnm,
ferro-mangan6sc, uranium CONNER
cially. The appearance of these
values OF their ores ia not generally
known to prospectors. 1t Is the
analysis that is required.
For more than 30 years Lead
ville's zinc carbonate was classed a.
bastard lime, az lime chart, and by
other names indicating worthless
ness. I.cadville is Pandora box
VI the rare things.
What ore cannot he found in the
Elk mountains in Pitkin and Gun
nison counties? Tin, in great guam
titles, has been recently reported
from there. Who in Colorado off
hand knows anything of tin? The
bureau would know, would advise
at once. The Van Wogenen Plan,
in operation for one year, would
make its own plea for State support.

Seward, Nov. 17-Lieut. Mears of the government railroad commis- sion declared yesterday in an in- terview that fully 75 per cent of the men employed on the govern menE railroad the past season were Alaskans,
 He said that not more than 2 per cent were foreigners and this was due to the fact, he states, that the commission was unable to Ob- tain Alaskans early in the season on account of the demand from the mines.
 A train is now running from An chorage to Eagle river, a distance Of 20 miles towards the Matanuska coal fields. This Tepresents the construction work for the past sea son.
 A train is also running from Se- ward to Mile 34, the Alaska Nor thern having been repaired that far for train service by the com mission. There is a telephone line all the way from there to Anchorage and from there to Eagle river.
 Lieut.. Mears states that wagon roads are needed as feeders to the railroad. He says already the farmers of the Matanuska near Ma tunuska Junction have raised big crops of vegetables and potatoes and their greatest difficulty at the present time is in getting them to market.
 He believes that the farmers in this section will be able to export their potatoes in another year or so.

Skunks Kill ARMY Worms.

The skunk is the best known mann.
NAL enemy of army worms. The com.
mon army worm, the wheat head army
worm and the fall army worm are all
very destructive to small grains, corn
and grasses, and their invasions entail
heavy losses among farmers. The good
work Of skunks in destroying army
worms has frequently been noticed.
In report of this insect in Penn
sylvania, published in 1896, DR.. Z. H.
Warren brought forward much testi-
mony of farmers as to the usefulness
Of skunks in the work of extermina-
tion. Also he had examined some
skunk stomacLs which contained chief.
ly beetles and army worms. Professor
Lugger of Minnesota also mentioned
the skunk as one of the principal enc.
mics of the army worms in that state.
