FRoNTENAc MINE

This we'll known Gilpin county pro-
ducer for the past quarter of a CEN
tury under the watchfM care of Man
ager Robert Wilkinson, bids fair to
rival, if not surpass its previous rec
ord. A few months ago, party of
Central Cty's active business men
styling themselves the FrontenaC
Leasing Co.. took lease on the
property, and began the unwatering
of the mine. The mine is now free
of water to the 9OO.foot level and ac-
tive development is going on at the
500, 600, 700 and 800 foot levels west.
During TIE month 1O9 tram cars
have been shipped from these nevels
divided as follows: 500-foot level
west, % cars, 600 foot level west 90
cars, 700-foot level west, car high
grade smelling ore, sOO-foot level
west, 81 cars concentrating ore, and
from the tunnel cars.
This mine, in days gone by, has
produced several million dollars
worth of ore, and at one time was
considered the banner producer OF
the county. 1t is owned by an Eng
hsh syndicate with General Sir john
French at its head, but owing to his
presence in France, and the Difficult
ty in money exchange, etc., At was
thought best by the directors to lease
it to a home pool who could attend
to every detail. Those fortunate
enough to be members of the local
syndicate will undoubtedly reap a
rich reward, and 1T is the wish OF
the Observer that those who had the
nerve to engage in this enterprise
may be well rewarded.

MEN SAY PRICES
WILL CONTINUE HIGH

Des Moines, la. - Iowa hardware
dealers believe that prices in their
line will continue to be more seri-
ously affected by the war than those
in any other sing'e industry. This
opinion was expressed by officers
OF the Iowa Hardw are Dealers Asso-
citation in annual convention at the
| Coliseum. Over 500 dealers were pres
ent at some of tie business sessions
OF the week.
Hardware priccs have advanced
from 10 to 200 per cent since the
outbreak OF Europe n hostilities, and
it is declared by hardware dealers
that the quotations OF manufacturers
continue to increase from month to
month. The manufacturers explain
that the advancing prices are due to
the increased cost Of the basic ma
terials as copper, steel, zinc and 9th
er metals which are in abnormal de-
mand for war munit' ton. Europe, it
is declared, is payirg premium pric-
co @ob thSsS udlSi tdio. MOio ihoh
ey is being paid for barbed wire for
40-toot barrdcades in front of trench
es than it has ever brought for line
fences.
Nails, copper goods, steel and iron
sheeting. brasswAre, including brass
screws, all these and other metal
items present price problems which
were the topic Of animated discus
sions during the convention. Condi-
tions are such Il at hardware deal
ers dare not buy heavily because
the interruption Of European hostili-
in restoring normal prices along this
line, they said.

SENIOR GLASS PLAY

The Senior Glass playJ"Mr Bob
ening, was quite a decided success.
The play is charming little two
act full of good, wholesome humor,
quite suited to high school students,
and each character did their share
remarkably well
Flora Hughes ably represented
Aunt Becky, who created quite a
furore by secretly attempting to es-
tablish home for cats and If II
had only been a dog or 'orse. Jen-
kins (Arnold Duns tone) might not al
ways have had objections, Philip
Clarence Auger) WIS so considerate
Of Kitty's (Gerta ude Bawden) frie nd
Bob (Marjorie Sonne) that drama
loving Patty (Effie Harvey had
enough action through the cats in tn
valise and the one falling into the
flower barrel and icing surprised at
finding itself white, that size forgot
to dance for five minutes.
MIR. Brown (Reut en- Mckay, who
was so many different people in a
short space Of time nearly lost his
own identity but, when it was final
ly disclosed that Philip had, the pre-
ceding summer, lost his heart to Kit
tvs friend Bob, tie mix-up was fin
ally settled to the satisfaction of MI
'the day Mr.. Bob won the race,
the day Brown Came down"
Taking everything into considera
tion, the young people and their in
structors deserve congratulations up
on their good work. 1t was a most
enjoyable affair.

HIGH-GRADERs
AFTER TUNGSTEN

The boldest bit of high-grade work
that has been done in Nederland
since tungsten has become SO valu-
able occurred few nights ago in
the Hoosier mine, when thieves took
a thousand dollars worth of ore from
the walls of the interior workings
of the mine. Entry to the shaft
house was gained by breaking thru
window.
James Retallack and Jack Lewis,
owners of the lease, which is on
Wolf Tongue property, are at a loss
to know how the men should have
known about the ore. Development
work had been going on for week
in this part of the mine and the ore
was just ready to be taken down.
The high7graders a so took a quanti-
ty of ore from sacks in the shaft
house. Retallaok & Lewis are now
keeping a watcln an on the proper
ty.
Myron Miller also lest a quantity
OF ore on his Vasco lease at Stew
ems camp last week. A dozen or
more petty stealings have been re-
ported by leasers durirg the last
few days.
The Primos company has employ
ed four men to guard their proper
ties. They are heavily armed. 1t is
expected that Their presence will cut
down the high-grading materially.
