Wouldn't this be a good time of
the year to burn weeds along the
sides of the roads, in fence corners,
and wherever else they may be
found? Besides improving the ap-
pearance of the roads, thousands OF
insects taking up their winter abode
in such, places would be destroyed, as
we'll as would be the seed which will
otherwise be responsible for another
weed crop. If every farmer would
burn all the weeds on his own farm,
and then see that the road overseer
in his township had all those along
the roads burned, it would only be a
few years until the effects of such a
move would be apparent.-Meade

BROWNS IN sAYRE LAKE

Edward James, a resident of Ned
erland since the tungsten boom, was
drowned in the Sayre lake, between
Rollinsville and Nederland, Friday
evening. He was fishing on raft
and must have fallen off into the wa
ter. AS the lake is full of sea weed
he probably became entangled and
was unable to save himself by swim
ming or grabbing the raft. A com.
panion who was with him was fish
ing from shore, but did not see the
young man fall into the water. No
ticing the absence of James he con
clnded that he must have fallen into
the lake. SO rushed to Nederland for
help. Some trouble was experienced
In raising the body, it becoming lodg
ed in the sea weed. The body was
recovered Saturday morning and tax
en- to Nederland, where it was pre-.
pared for shipment to Central.
Edward James was 81 years Of age
and was born in Mountain City. Be,
ing raised in Gilpin county he was
we'll known by everyone. He leaves
a mother, two sisters and a brother.
The funeral was held yesterday af.
ternoon from the Methodist church.

YEARS CONTRACT

for tungsten concentrates that would
keep the Boulder tungsten production
mill and mines busy for one year at
a price approxim ating s25 a unit
said j. G. Clark this morning. He
stated that he has not definitely ac-
cepted the contract because he has
something still better in view. The
Clark companies have been offered
a close alliance with one of biggest
manufacturers of tungsten steel in
the United States. Under the terms
OF the alliance the local companies
Will be assured a definite market for
years to come, and will mine and con-
centrate exclusively for the Eastern
corporation, yet they will maintain
their own corporate indentity. Nego-
tiat'ons for the completion of this
alliance are now under way. Clark
states that the market situation both
for his own companies and for Boul-
der producers as a whole looks bet

FRANKLIN BUYING BOTH
HIGH AND LOW GRADE ORES

With it's new mill grinding out so
tons OF ore a day, the Rare Metals
Ore company at Rollinsville is hand
ling all the ore that can be had and
Manager Franklin says that the in
dications fer good season are evil
dent. The mill was started about a
month ago and since that time has
been giving marked satisfaction to
the owners.
The Rare Metals company has now
changed its policy and is buying all
grades of ore from the lowest to the
highest. The same price is paid for
per cent ore as for 40 per cent
ore. When the mill first opened, the
MANAGEMENT bought only grades up
to 10 per cent but after a conference
with his partners in Denver, Frank
lin decided to take everything that
was offered. His price is practically
the same as the Primos price.
Franklin says that altho the East
ern steel companies are buying tung-
stem only in small lots, there are
now great many more inquiries for
the black metal than a month ago.
He believes that the price will go
up rather than down. - ,Nederland
