make loop two inches in diameter
out of a strip of cardboard, sewing to-
gether the Tapped ends, or fastening
them with brass fastener Zig 81:
then make small CLOTH sack and
glue or sew it's upper edge to the In
side of the cardboard ring.

Boulder county cannot but gain by
his selection as it is a recognition of
the energy and wisdom which has
governed the local mining association
of which he has been secretary for
years.
The removal of Mr.. Tomblin neces-
states the appointment of another
secretary of the local chapter and
it is a matter that should have very

the board of directors. The mining
situation has been clarified by the
removal of fallirs ard hot air promo

of 23ls tons Of smelling ore that
returned 3.01 ounces gold. 1856 oun-

tons of second class returned so u
ounces gold and 7-2 ounces silver to

from which returns to date have not
been received. They also shipped
yesterday to the same smelter anoth-
er car of high grade smelling ore
supposed to contain greater values
than car No. 1. The Bates mine was
a great producer in early days. and
there are several parts of the prop

would lease this idle ground, no doubt
they would be amply rewarded by un-

The editor of the Colorado Springs

1t is matter for general regret
