MINING AS A SCIENCE

Judging from the success being
achieved by metallurgists and practi-
cal operators in the saving of ore val
ues. mining is rapidly approaching a
stage where it can be classed with
mathematics as an exact science.
Some of the results so far obtain
ed border on the marvellous, both
as to the percentage Of values ex-
tracted from the ores and the low
cost of treatment. A little more pro
gress and 1t would seem that every
man may start to dig mine in his
back yard and feel tolerably certain
of remunerative returns. In any event
matters are coming to such pass
that almost any kind Of a mining prop
osition, no matter OF how low a
grade. can be made to pay. When
the mammouth bulk Of the Rockies Is
taken into account. together with the
vast bodies of low grade ore known
to be onsconced there, the great i'm.
portance of recently discovered treat
ment methods can be more readily
appreciated Many millions OF dol
lars worth of wealth win be recover
ed that under former systems OF man
ipulation would have lam in the
ground unsought and practically val

TUNGSTEN TEST

and chemist, gave a scientific demon
stration of test for tungsten be-

1t is to determine the presence of
this valuable metal in rock or quartz.
According to Mr.. Kimball. a very de-
pendable tungsten test can be made
as follows: ..

DEATH OF DENNIS SULLIVAN

Cennis Sullivan, one of Colorado's
most prominent mining men, died at
ims home in Denver last Sunday af-
ternoon, October 10, following am
operation for appendicitis from which
he could not recover.

mantle Hudson, whose pure and trans
parent waters gently flow through

, tunnels of the many workshops that
dot its verdant shore.
Born from sturdy Irish stock, he
inherited a constitution that stood
him well in hand for the arduous
duties incident to pioneer life, and
in the spring of 1866, he bid friends
, and relatives goodbye, and with his
young and loving wife. startei on
, their overland journey to Gilpin coun-
ty, Colorado, then the Mecca for all
gold hunters. Upon arriving at Cen
trail City. Mr.. SulIiven began an
active campaign in the development
OF our monster fissure veins, with an
, energy that characterized his every
act in life
His success in mining at the Rhod-
erick Dfu and other noted mines on
Quartz HILL placed him in easy finan-
cial condition, and when, the great
carbonate excitement broke out at
Leadville in 1878, he repaired thith-
er, and invested in some Of Lead
ville's most choice mining property
/ that socn placed him in the million

smile upon him, his innate philan-
trophy began to assert itself, and
many a poor and dependent friend
was placed upon the high road to
prosperity. by his modest and unas-
suming aid, and with such reveren-
tial secrecy as to be forever hid
den from the eye of mortal. He was
the acme of good fellowship. and his
sumptucus table groaned with choice
viands when entertaining his friends.
His motto was to ever walk up
rightly before God and man, and
paved life's way with a genial smile
and word of good cheer, that ever
characterized the hardy pioneers who
are now rapidly passing. and but a
few short years, and the last of that
sturdy band who braved the dangers
incident to a new land, will have
passed to the home of their fathers.
The funeral was held Tuesday
morning at the church OF the Imma-

remains were taken by kind friends
to New York, and laid in the family

SHAPIRO THINKS THE .G0RGAS BILL STOLEN
Object of Thief Was to De- lay Action on Measure,
 He Declares
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery. August 1s.-(Specialo There is no question in the mind of lsa- dore Shapiro of Jefferson, chairman of
 the subcommittee of the house commit
 tee on education appointed to inquire into the loss of the Gorgas bill, but that the
 measure was stolen from the desk of
 Representative John. chairman of the committed
 We have investigated the matter to a certain extent" said Mir Shapiro, and while We know nothing of the personality of the thief, we are convinced that he was not friend of the bill, and that his object in stealing it was to postpone action, impede progress, and probable give another measure it's position on the calen- dar.
 "The desk in which the bill was con tained was in the library of the supreme court and the room was under the care of MT. May. clerk of the committee on Judiciary. MT. May, in possession of the only key to the room, stepped on the outside for moment. When he returned the desk in which the bill had been was turned, showing that the thief not only use great haste, but strength as we'll The papers were scattered about. but the only manuscript missing was the Gorgas bill"
 MT. Shapiro indicated that a written report of the investigation would be made to the committee and then to the house.
 Dr, White of Franklin county, mem per of the committee. said today: 'I opposed the Gorgas bill before the
 committee and will oppose it before the house. However, l am believer in fair play. and will contend that the
 house give a copy of the original bill
 its position on the calendar with
 guarantee that on account of the theft
 1t shall not be considered later than
 il otherwise would have been"
 Great indignation throughout the capitol Is expressed regarding the ac- ton of the thief, and it is reasonable
 to believe that the bill has won more
 friends than it previously possessed
 In this bill, as Is known, the "progres-
 s've" wing of the State Medical asso- ciation is deeply interested. Because it
 would abolish the college of counsel lors of the association, that college
 which controls the affairs of the asso- clation, and makes of that body an
 ol1garchy rather than a democracy, according to the charge, 1t has aroused
 the undying enmity of the college of oounsellors. and Dr. w. H. Sanders,

President Wilson Receives Pessimistic Report From Peace Rep

If you are mathematician here is a chance to do some figuring.
 If you are good guesser. here is a chance to exercise your ability.
 How long will 1t take to fill the biz lake of the Birmingham Motor and Country club at Bdgewood?
 When the dam Is closed next week how long will It be until the first dror of water flows over the top?
 Here are some facts to work on:
 The lake will be one-fourth mile wide and one and one-fourth miles long.
 It's estimated capacity will be 300,0O0.OO0 gallons.
 The distance around 1t will be approximately three and one fourth miles.
 It will be filled entirely by the flow of Shades creek unless heavy rains come just after the dam is closed
 Shades creek has been carefully measured and it's minimum flow in the dryest weather is 35 cubic feet, or lOoS gallons, per minute.
 The watershed of Shades creek above the dam is 2S square miles.
 
 from four to 12 feet.
 Now how long will it take water to flow over the top of the dam after the gates are closed?
 About 135 men have been at work for several weeks finishing up the dam. clearing out the bed of the lake and 1t was expected yesterday that the aam would be closed within a week or 70 days. If there is a reasonable amount of rainfall over the 2S square miles watershed the lake Is expected to be full by September 1, but then our guess on that Is as good as any ones. Suppose the watershed has one of those one-inch rainfalls as soon as the dam Is closed . Workmen are now putting in hsl screens at the dam to care for the fish with which the lake will be stocked come of these fish are being brought from Louisiana because they are lit lie fellows, swim close to the surface and live on the larva of mosquitoes.
