OMAHA FUTURES.

Wheat futures were rather unsteady today
fractionaiiy lower,
There was sharp rally on the buying
side about noon. but II did not last and the
market sold off tho December reaching a
low point OF s1.b+, the May 31,S4h and
July s1.2s.
This drop in the market was caused In
some degree by hedging sales and profit
taking by tho longs.
There was an active interest in corn, De-
cember ruling INC lower and the May arti-
Gle gaining No.
The range on oats was very narrow and
there was very little local interest in this
market, IA

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Oct 6.-Peace rumors and bear
ish advices regarding the Argentine crop
outlook, resulted In series Of downward
swings In the value o wheat today. The
market closed heavy, 2hc to SIC net
lower. with December at Sl.SfA to }t.b7L,
and May at st57h to ti,51%, Corn fin
ishod Nc to Ike off, and oats down x9Ac.
Provisions scored gains ranging all the way
from a shade to sS@s5c.
Suggestions OF likelihood Of showers In
Argentina made the wheat bulls uneasy
from the start, as heretofore no sign had
been reported OF breaking up OF the
drouth, which has been forcing Europeans
OF late to enlarged buptng In the United
States. Lower quotations at Buenos Ayres
tended to further bears and too, did a
decline In vessel rates from South America,
with conseasut increased shipments, Selling
here, however, did not attain unusual pro-
portions until the final half hour OF tho
session, whom gossip as to new attempt
at negotiations for peace added to the
pressure on the market and resulted In
the summary closing out Of numerous hold
ings.
Increduality as 10 the truth Of the peace
rumors prevented wheat from breaking
much beyond ordinary limits, except in the
case Of July opitno, In witch trading as yet
Is relatively light For brief interval July
was down Just cents bushel. Export
buying on tho setback appeared active, but
II was said the British government and its
allies would not hereafter give out any In
formation regarding purchases OF bread
stufts,
Corn sympathized with he weakness OF
whea. Some OF yesterdays largest buyers
were conspicuous on the selling side. Gen.
trail Illinois advices indicated a LIBERAL early
movement OF the new crop, Oats, although
at first displaying Independent strength FIN
ally shadein the depression Of other grain
Early fismness was based chiefly on the
relative ehcapncss OF oats. as compared with
corn.
Diminished receipts OF hogs tended to

AMONG THE MINES
REPORTED THAT COOK
PROPERTY WILL START

PARTIES from Cripple Creek who
have been in Central for several days,
looking into the records of the many
claims embraced in the Fifty group
and making a cursory examination Of
the property, report that the work Of
unwatering the property will be start
ed within a short time, or to quote
them exactly, next Monday. 1t has
been known for some time that John
Nichols and others have been look
ing into the Fifty proposition for
Cripple Creek men of wealth, prom
inent among whom ds James Burns,
Of the Portland mine.
Should the report prove true and
these men take over this rich group
it will mean the most important deal
that has been put through in Gilpin
county in decade. When the Cook
was last worked good body of bet
ter than the average grade of ore
was exposed in the lower workings.
This ore will bring much greater
price than when the mine was last
worked owing to the strong advance
in the price of silver and copper, of
which the ore values I'm the latter
metal are particularly heavy.

SANDELL BOY DIES

Geo. A. Sandell, son of Mrs. Fan
ME Sandell, who was taken to Mercy
hospital i'm Denver last week, died
Saturday of acute nephritis. The boy
was eight years old and had been
very sick for two or three weeks and
for a time was thought to be out
Of danger, but suffered a relapse. The
body was brought to Central Monday
evening and the funeral was held
from the home yesterday afternoon.
The remains were inferred in the
Odd Fellows cemetery beside those
OF the father, who was killed in the
Topeka mine on June 2, 1910. The
mother did all within her power TO
save :he boy but to no avail and the
many friends OF the family deeply
sympathize with Eer in her irrepar-
able loss.

ACTIVITY IN HUGHEsviLLE
INCREASING DAlLN

Activity in the Hughesville coun-
try is increasing as the news of
the tungsten strikes in that vicinity
reaches mining men on the outside.
More tents are being pitched daily
and automobiles are going and COM
ing in a steady string. Work of OPP
ening up veins and extracting ore is
greatly retarded owing to the search
~ OF miners.
The Stukey and Allen pool, who are
working the Corner Stone and Black
Horse iodes under lease, have a
splendid showing in Shaft they are
sinking alongside of the Hughesville
road. The shaft was started on the
crevice and while down only 25 feet
shows strong naturalization from
wall to wall. On the hanging wall is
a solid streak of tungsten and sill

up the other hill and this week work
will be started on two open cuts.
Ten additional men will be employed
on this work as soon as they can he
procured.
Showalter and Cobb, leasing the
Toronado, having a good streak of
tungsten which is becoming more sol
i'd as live rock is encountered. They
had setback in their operations in
getting off the vein but are now com-
ing back to catch it again.
The CMchmahua tunnel, the princi-
pal workings of a group of ten or
more claims, shows we'll in tungsten
both in the back of the tunnel and
in the drift. There are several open
cuts up the hill on the line of the
tunnel and these are being worked
diligently.
B. d. Sawyer & Co., working the
Loveland, are sinking the Shaft and
taking out a good grade of silver
tungsten ,re. A close sorting of the
tmngsten is being made and this is
being sacked.
Work is being pushed en- the Mo-

MILL WILL Be RUN
ON TUNGSTEN AND GOLD ORES

Several of the directors and stock
holders Of the Pioneer company were
out from New York state this week
and visited the property to inspect
the widely heralded strike of tung-
stem ore which has attracted the at
tention of the mining world to Gill

the wonderful streaks of tungsten
showing in the back of the tunnel

and production. will be the installa-

will be kept for emergency purpos-

charge of the mill and is getting this
in readiness for operation, which will
require about ten days. The mill is
absolutely new and is Thoroughly au-

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING

Gilpin County Observer,
MIR. Editor:
have had a great many calls for
the determination of tungsten, molyb
denum and manganese, and as they
are all simple tests, will you kindly
print them for the benefit of the
general public?
AS tungsten and molybdenum are
very similar in their reactions, Will
give a test for both in one, the only
difference is in the green coloration
of the molybdenum.
For tungsten and molly bdenum:
Take the Gre to be tested, grind
very fine, place a small portion in
a porcelain cup or casarole, add a
mixture 2-3 hyddoclSlorici acid and 1-3
nitric acid, just enough to cover the
ore to be tested, place ON. a gentle
heat for Is or 20 minutes, then add
2-3 water, heat gently, allow to set
tie and decant the clear liquid, to
the residue, add a small amount Of
WdtSi. iMS NicSoaNto
tungsten and molybdenum. Allow to
| settle, and pour off the clear liquid.
This contains the tungsten and molyb-
denum, then make ac'd with hydro
chloric acid, heat and add small
portion ct zinc, tin or aluminum, al
low the action of the acid on the
zinc, ETC., to act for short time. II
tungsten, the solution will turn blue,
about the same shade as bluing water
then brown according to the amount
Of tungsten present. If molybdenam,
the solution will turn blue, then green
and finally brown.
For manganese:
Take the ore to be tested grind
fine place small portion i'm porce
lain cup or casarole, cover with a
small amount of nitric acid, heat
gently for about 15 minutes, add
about 2-3 water, again heat, then add
small amount of lead peoxide cred
lead will do), the solution will turn
very pretty blush purple, about the
same color as potassium pennan-
gonate solution.
Respectfully yours,
