ORGAN RECITAL

Tuesday evening, at the NJ. E.
church, the mus GLOWING people of
Central City were treated to an or
gan recital, long to be remembered,
by Professor Bowes Of Denver.
In spite of the inclement weather,
the church was filled with those who
can appreciate musical talent. and
the evening was pleasantly passed
by listening to the strains of classi'
cal music.
The professor played with such
feeling that he held his audience
with intense interest, rendering the
works Of the great masters. as we'll
as his own composition, in SUCH a
manner as to exact admiration from
all. His rendition of "A Storm In
the Mountains" was realistic in ev'
cry detail and brought forth encom-
iums OF praise.
The professor intends to shortly
tour the west and south and give ex'
hibitions in every large city and
town. Those who had the pleasure
OF listening to him last Tuesday
night, wish him God-speed on his
journey.

sMELTER DIVIDENDS

The United States Smelling, Min

Gently entered the Leadville field
for the purpose of draining and OPP
Grating the mines on Fryer Hill. is
earning above $50 per share per an
mum on its common stock according
TO the present production of it's prop
critics and the present metal prices.
The directors meeting the latter part
OF March for dividerd action Is ex-
pected to place the stock on the
permanent basis Of at least Sc per
share per annum, and possibly high
er, preferring this policy to one of
immediate dissipation of the COM
pany's working capital by large ex-
ira dividends. In the two years of
partial curtailment Of production of
the company's mires in Mexico, the
management has had opportunity 20

WOMAN SEVERELY BEATEN

A disgraceful affair occurred at
the apartments of Mrs. Grace Glenn
ons on Nevada street early Saturday
morning, when James Flynn and Gene
Costello forced their way into the
woman's room in quest of liquor.
She refused to give them the liquor
and was severely beaten about the
head and face. Her skull was frac-
tured and since the beating has been
delirious at times. She was removed
to the Annex and the doctors are
considering an operation as the pres
sure of the skull against the brain
causes the woman to become violent.
The victim of the cowardly assault
claims her assailants took the gun
with which she was beaten, $4,000
In money and two tank books.
The men were under the influence
of liquor when they called at the
Clemons place and when refused the
whiskey were unmerciful in their
treatment toward the woman. While
being beaten. she pleaded with them
to take her gun, money and every
thing but not to kill her. After be-
coming sober, Flyr N returned to the
house Saturday evening and wanted
the woman to go to a hospital.
Flynn and Costello left town Sun
day morning and are supposed to
have gone to Boulder county. Flynn
is said to have been seen in Neder-
land, Monday. The community is in
censed over the outrage and want

NEGOTIATING FOR CITY BONDS

Arthur NJ. Bosworth, representing
Sweet, Causey, Foster & Co., bond
buyers of Denver, was present at tie
special meeting CT the city county
held Saturday evening in regard to
the issue of $4,000 bonds made by
the City of Central. Mr.. Bosworth
suggested that AN issue of bonds suf-
fictent to redeem all the outstand-
ing warrants and interest, amount
ing to approximately 1000, be made
and that his firm would take the
entire issue.
The bond buyers claim that their
attorneys contend that in order to
make this new bond issue it would
not be necessary to have a bili pass
ed by the legislature on account OF
the special charter under which the
City of Central operates, authoriz-
ing the bond issue. According to
Mr.. Bosworth the city could make
the new issue as water bonds and
submit the proposition TO vote of
the taxpayers at a special election
for their adoption. The new issue
OF bonds would draw six per cent in
terest and would run fifteen years.

GUGGENHElM's TERRITORY
COMING TO THE FRONT

Boulder county is undoubtedly the
most extensively advertised mineral
county In the state on account of its
great tungsten fields, whose product
has reached such fabulous prices.
Not only has the county this high
priced element, but it has large
mines of gold and silver, from which
several millions of dollars worth of
ore was extracted prior to the demon
etization of silver.
Gilpin county is world famed as
the Golden Cradle and we'll nigh
to a quarter of billion dollars worth
Ct gold, has been taken from her
mines and placers in the last fifty
years. The incentive force that
moves bodies polite is now a unit
and her once rich veins are again
being extensively worked. not only
for the gold, but fer many of her by
products, including radium, tungsten
and molybdenum.
Clear Creek, including Idaho
Springs, the famous silver mines at
Georgetown and Silver Plume, and
the great lead and zinc depos is
found on Sherma and Republican
mountains is taking on new life and
activity, tie like of which has not
been seen for the two last decades.
4 Summit county, just across the
range, is again producing large guam
titles of gold, as we'll as lead. and
the celebrated Horseshoe district,
is once more coming to the front.
These four counties, that founded
and built Denver, a'one and unaided.
until the wonderful carbonate camp
at Leadville was di covered and gave
1t new life have been apportioned to
the territory of the American Smet-
ing and Refining company and their
auxiliary samplers who have estab-
lis such arbitrary rulings regard
ing the treatment and purchase OF
force that for the last fifteen years
this once prolific territory has been
blighted by the ruthless hand OF
centralized wealth, until our once
prosperous mountain cities have de.
Perforated in population, and our emp
ty SHAFT houses become the roosting
place for bats and owls.
A new era has dawned. these lus-
ty miners OF herculsan strength, Ike
the trained Mated engaged in a
life and death struggle, demand their
rights, and from present appearance,
such concessions will be made that
will enable these four great mineral
producing counties TO once more take
the front rank in this sovereign min
eral producing state.

'll2 TONS OF P|TCHBLENDE FROM
G|LP|N COUNTY BEING CONCENTRATED

VIM. Wright, pre- silent and general
manager of the Colorado Ghlpin Gold
& Radium Mining company, operat-
ing the German-Belcher group of ur-
anium and gold mines on Quartz hill,
was an arrival from Denver this
week. Mr.. Wright came from Penn
sylvania a week or two ago to su-
perintend the transfer of a big guam
tity of p.tchblende ore that has
been stored in Denver to the School
of Mines in Golden for reduction.
There were 112 tons Of low-grade
ore in the lot sent to Golden for
treatment and the concentrates from
the crude ore will be delivered to
the radium laboratory of the Nation
al Institute in Denver for radium ex-
traction. In addition to the 112 tons
of low-grade, there are still in Den
yer six tons of high-grade that will
not have to be concentrated; also
half ton of high-grade concen-
trates. Twenty tons of high grade
concentrates are expected from the
treatment of the 112 tons of ore
sent to Golden. This and the high
grade crude ore and concentrates in
Denver will all be turned over to
the National Institute.
The rad,um that will be extracted
has already been contracted for at
the rate of s12O,OoO a gram. Accord
ing to assay on tie crude ore. high
grade and the concentrates, the lot
contains us millograms, or 7-1O OF
a gram, making the commercial val
ue of the ore $4,000.
The uranium oxide, which is a by
product, will be given to the U. s..
government to further experimental
purposes. 1t is estimated that $500
pounds of this will be extracted
which will be worth according to the
present price of uranium oxide, $1.1O
per pound. The radium that will be
extracted is not to be sold for COM
mercial purposes, but is guaranteed
to be used by the purchaser in the
United States only for philanthropic
and charitable purposes. The resi-
due will be sold to he used for fer
tflizing.
This lot of ore represents the larg-
est accumulated output of pitchblend.
ore in the world. 1t was taken from
the German and Be'cler mines prin-
cipally Ia small amount from the
Wood) when the group was worked
two years and was shipped to Den--
yer for storage, awaiting some pro-
cess Of treatment. The process of
extracting radium from pitchbqende
ores is very similar to that of ex-
tracing radium from carnotite ores.
although the radium content of pitch
blende is much higher than that of
carnotite.
