Upper Clear Creek
Closing Good Year

Georgetown and upper Clear
Creek can boast of very decided
Improvement in mining during the
latter part of 1916.
The present high prices being
paid for the various metals, caus-
ing the development of number
of mines that could not heretofore
be operated at a profit while the
vast amount of dead work is be-
ing carried on, is at profit while
the vast number of properties being
placed on the shipping list during
the year 1917.
A few years ago Georgetown was
looked upon as high-grade silver
district with a small per cent of
lead. Now Georgetown can boast
of producing the highest and
richest gold ores in the state to
which must be added very mat
erial product in zinc and copper.
Where formerly the average
value of Georgetown ores was in
excess of 500 per ton, the year
1916 saw the average drop to
$62.71, but what was lost in values
was made up in an increased ton
mage caused through milling low
grade ores which we're formerly
thrown over the dumps as worth
less.
The mines tributary to Silver
Plume are sharing the prosperity
in evidence in upper Clear Creek.
A number of the old time proper
ties are being developed into
shippers, the most notable being
the Josephine, Terrible, Scotia,
Smuggler, Mendoza, Main and
Phoenix, Dives Seven Thirty and
Pelican.
At Empire and Lawson a number
of properties are undergoing de-
velopment that is bound to bring
the production of these camps
during 1917 up to their standard
of former years.
Taken all in all it is very evident
that Clear Greek county is en-
tering upon an era of prosperity
not witnessed in many years, and
the upper end of the county, in
particular, will make a record
during the coming year.

Stewed Mushrooms

Stewed mushrooms after the follow
ing recipe make one of the most de-
licious Of breakfast dishes 1t is not
necessary to use large mushrooms for
stewing-small button ones will do.
Take the mushrooms left in the basket
after having selected those for broil-
ing, and also use the stems cut from
the mushrooms prepared for broiling.
After cleaning and skinning them put
them in cold water with little vine
gar, and let them stand half an hour
If you have quart of mushrooms, put
tablespoonful of nice fresh butter in
a stew pan and stand it on the stove.
When the butter begins to bubble drop
the mushrooms in the pan, and after
they have cooked minute season
them well with salt and black pepper
Now take hold of the handle of the
stew pan and, while the mushrooms are
gently and slowly cooking, shake the
pan almost constantly to keep the but
ter from getting brown and the mush-
rooms from sticking. After they have
cooked eight minutes pour in enough
rich, sweet cream to cover the mush-
rooms to the depth of half an inch, and
let them cook about eight or ten min
utes longer. Serve them in very hot
vegetable. dish. Do not thicken the
cream with flour or with anything.
Just cook them in this simple way
You will find them perfect.

Fresh Mushrooms Baked

The following is Juliet Carson's s
recipe for baked mushrooms, and it is
an excellent one:
Carefully cleanse the mushrooms as
in the directions for broiling. Cut as
many slices of bread as there are
mushroom caps, trimming off the crust,
and having each slice about two inches
square. Lay the slices of bread in a
baking pan and spread each slice with
butter. Sprinkle each slice with a
little salt and pepper. Next put on
each slice of bread one or two mush-
rooms-just enough to cover the bread.
Put the pan in hot oven for five min
utes. Then draw the pan to the front
of the oven and season the mushrooms
with salt and pepper and put piece
of butter as large as hazel nut in
each mushroom cap. Return the pan
to the oven and finish baking the mush
rooms, which are done as soon as
tender. Serve them on the bread on a
very hot platter.

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS


broiling, roasting, frying them in sweet
butter, and stewing them in cream.
In preparing fresh mushrooms for
cooking, wash them as little as possi
Ole, as washing robs them of their
ielicate flavor. Always bear in mind
hat the more simply mushrooms are
looked the better they are. Like all
ielicately favored foods, they are
spoiled by the addition Of strongly
favored condiments.
BroiIed Mushrooms
Select fine, large, fiat mushrooms,
and be sure that they are fresh. II
they are dusty, just dip them in cold
salt water Then lay them on cheese
cloth and let them drain thoroughly.
When they are dry, cut off the stem
quite close to the comb. Or, what is
better, carefully break off the stem.
Do not throw away the stems. Save
them for stewing for soup or for mush-
room sauce. Having cut or broken off
the stems, take sharp silver knife
and skin the mushrooms, commencing
at the edge and finishing at the top.
Put them on a gridiron that has been
well rubbed with sweet butter. Lay
the mushrooms on the broiling iron
with the combs upward. Put small
quantity of butter, little salt and
pepper in the center of each comb
from where the stem has been re-
moved, and let the mushrooms remain
over the fire until the butter melts.
Then serve them on thin slices of but
tered and well Drowned toast, which
should be cut round or diamond shape.
Serve the mushrooms just as quick
ly as possible after they are broiled,
as they must be eaten when hot. So
nourishing are broiled mushrooms that
with light salad they form a suffi-
cient luncheon for anyone.

Given Workouts
by Coach Smith

Waterville, Me, Sept. 27.-The Col
by cross country squad has now got
we'll under way. Between is and 20
men are receiving daily workouts un.
der the watchful eyes Of Coach Art
Smith and Captain Mark Thompson.
There are four veteran runners left
from last years squad. They are Cap
tain Mark Thompson. 1T: Paul
Thompson. '1s; Tooker. '1s and Mad
dox, 10. Among the others trying out
are Ray Merrill. the quarter miller. and
Anderson, another quarter miller from
last year. OF the new men e. w. Ev-
erett, '16, is showing up the best. He
appears to know how to use his arms
and has a nice stride. He has had
little preparatory school experience
and looks as though he were q coming
performer. There are a number OF 9TH
er new men who may develop into
good runners under the expert coach
ing of Art Smith. The other men out
are: Cook, 30; Lowery, 20; Craig, Is;
Baxter, 30; Nourse, '19: wilkins. 20;
Homer, 20; Barnes, '19; Owen. 20 and
Crooke. 30.
Coach Smith puts the men through
a walk of about two miles. and there
gives them a little running. This prac-
tice grows harder each day and the
men will probably be on the regular
cross country course before long. AT
present, the outlook for a champion
ship cross country team to represent
Colby is none to bright, although there
are four veterans. But in Captain
Thompson and his brother Paul. Coach
Smith has a very good nucleus, and
under his trained eye the new men
may show up we'll, so that team will
be developed which will make at least
a creditable showing against the other
Maine colleges.

| Premature Joy Over
Arrival Of Bremen

Berlin. Sept. .27.-(via London). The
Berlin newspapers today are acclaim
ing enthusiastically the arrival Of the
German submarine Bremen at New
London. The Connecticut town has
jumped to a point OF prime interest
and the newspapers have found 1t ne
cessary to describe its situation by the
aid Of maps.
The news Of the Bremen relieves the
protracted tension which had grown
intense as the expected arrival Of the
week. Apparently authentic rumors
had been in circulation that the Bre-
men had sailed early in August. Hence
fears were held in some quarteAi that
something had gone wrong with her
and the report of her arrival has been
greeted by the newspapers as paving
the way for the establishment of a
regular submarine service between
Germany and the United States as an
swering the alleged taunts of Ger
many's enemies when the submarine
Deutschland returned nome from her
voyage over seas: You can't do it
again."
All the newspapers today print a
sketch of Capt. Schwartzllopff, captain
of the Bremen, who was for Il long
time in the service of the North Ger
man Lloyd SteamshipLCo., He served
for years on the steamer Kaiser Will
helm Der Crosse and distinguished
himself in rescue work in the Hoboken
pier fire in 1900. Capt. Schwartzkopff
was the first officer of the Prinz Freid-
rich Wilhelm when the war broke out.
