Several Leadville mining men have
secured a lease on the Hope proerty
and have taken up operations.
At Leadville the work of enlarging
the station at the bottom of the Pen
rose shaft has been completed.
Lake City reports that Hillman and
Johnson have opened the Cleveland
vein and found it. so far as it has
been entered, to be well mineralized.
The Belcher property, in the Bel
cher basin on Sultan mountain, in
sight. of Silverton, Is to be opened
and worked after lying idle for years.
About thirty carloads of high-grade
concentrate, yielding gold, silver and
lead values, is the monthly record of
the Iowa-Tiger mill in the Silvertou
district
Silverton shipped 3,1OO tons of con-
centrate equal to 27,900 tons or crude
ore, in the month of June. The trails
are now open and all the mills in the
district are in full swing.
Mai. H. s. Ehrman has sold an in
terest in his Emma H. property to
Ira B. Coy of Ordway. This property
lies in the heart Of the tungsten
molybdenum field, north of Pitkin,
and has good showings of not only
these minerals, but runs also in gold
and silver.
Says a Durango special: The dis
covery of an exceptionally strong
vein of gray copper ore carrying high
gold and silver values in the Emer-
aid claim of the Crown Jewel group
on Anvil mountain, is regarded as one
OF the most important finds of the
last decade.
Central Colorado districts, which
include Pitkin, Eagle, Summit. Lake,
Park, Chaffee and Gunnison counties,
are each and all aided by the pre-
vailing prices for silver, lead, spell
ter and copper, which are yet in ex-
cess of the average in past years.
That large profits may be made in
the mining of lead and zinc has been
abundantly proved by the Wellington
Mines Company whose property is To-
Gated at Breckenridge. So far this
year it has paid two dividends Of
100000 each, one on March Is and
the other on July /.

Hollow Bricks Popular.

During the past few years the use
of hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are much
lighter than solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage.
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not a sufficient guide. as hollow bricks
are now made which are indistinguish-
able in appearance from solid bricks
When cut or broken their hollownest
is easily seen. On the continent por
GUS bricks are defined as having a
weight which is notably loss than
common bricks. but this definition will
have to be abandoned now that hol-
low bricks are made in large numbers.

Arizona.
1t is stated that E. j. Peterson mas
discovered gold-copper ore on the
Baca grant in Northwestern Yavapai
county.
Two ore occurrences of exceptional
importance are being developed as
rapidly as possible in the Oatman
Pioneer mine.
The Oatman United has received
and installed it's new machinery ana
is working with greater dash than IT
did before at any stage of its career.
The Finney Copper Company OF
Winkelman, states that they have be-
gun to sink shaft from the 1OO-foos
level to the 2O0-foot level, at which
point they expect to drift on the ore
body.
What is believed to be the largest
naturally exposed body of copper ore
in the United States, and probably
the largest in the world, is located
on the White Mesa about 120 miles
northeast of Flagstaff, in Coconino
county, according to the report of
Robert Mitchell, mining engineer.

Alan came and stood before him.
Alan was man. Without being tall
he looked tall. His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the slimness Of
his hips. His neck looked too thin
till you saw the strong set of his small
head. In a word; he had the perfect
proportion that looks frail and is
strong. As he stood before his uncle
his eyes grew dull. They were slightly
bloodshot in the corners and with
their dullness. the clear-cut lines of his
face seemed to take on a perceptible
blur.

a long quarter of an hour and then
summed up all he had said in a few
words. "I've been no uncle to you,

Joseph NJ. Grohol the young man
who handled the strike for them, was
at the head of the line on horseback
mad carrying an American flag. Be
hind him came the committee and four
men who bore a large American flag.
At intervals down the line the banners
showed inscriptions such as Peace
and order" mo riots for US and
similar devices. Mayor John w. Schu-
macher reviewed the parade from the
steps of the City hall.
The ma1chers went to the American
Brass Co. Offices and cheered the Off
Gals. who stood at the windows and
returned theor greetings. There they
were also addressed by the mayor who
congratulated them on the orderly
manner in which they had conducted
themselves. The paraders then marched
to their hall and dispersed. Mr.. Grohol
said the vote to accept the offer was
practically unanimous. There might be
a few dissa tisfied, he said, btu only a
few. The only statement from the COM
pany was that the mills would be re-
opened Monday and that the company
would be glad to see all the men back
at work.

FRANCES WILLARD
MEMORIAL HELD
AT FIRST BAPTIST

large audience gathered Sunday
evening at the First Baptist church to
attend the Union Frances Willard me-
mortal services. held under the auspices
of the Gardiner W. c. r. L.
Long before the hour announced for
the opening. the auditorium was filed
and the Nestry was thrown open to ac-
comodatc the overflow. The platform
was decorated with evergreen and flow
ers, together with a fine crayon por-
trait of Miss Willard. Music was rem
dered by double quartet composed of
Mrs. H. NJ. Church. Miss Rena Speed.
Miss Annie Blanchard. Mrs. Alfred
Manson. Dr. H. Nj. Church, Charles
Williams, Arthur n. Lander and W. l.
Guild. The mems chorus also sang and
Mrs. w r. Moody officiated at the or
gan.
Rev. Langdon Quimby gave the di-
vine Invocation and Rev. II. G. Mann
read the scripture lesson. Rev. II. S.
Dow offered prayer and the speaker was
introduced by the president of the To-
cal union.
The memorial address was delivered
by Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston of
that Miss willard made her life work
and was an eloquent and touching trib-
ute.
She opened by asking if we dare hore
that the Kingdom of God will come.
when we considered the awful iniustices
of the present day. Righteousness JOY
and peace in God must be present before
the Kingdom can come.
The speaker said that she thought
that the greatest hindrance to the COM
ing of the Kingdom was that which
Frances E. Willard worked 50 nobly
against. legalized liquor traffic. So
long as the government legalizes the
saloon, the breweries and distilleries,
we cannot expect total abstinence. The
prohibitory law of the State of Maine
is not at fault. it is the lack of real
manhood behind the law.
The liquor traffic represents three
things, a mighty financial power,
great political power and great com
mercial power and yet it has not yet
accomplished one constructive thing
