THE HYDRO ELECTRIC

The United Hydro Electric com
pamy is no more, or will no longer
be In existence after the new own

erty and get things lined out, says
the Idaho Springs Gazette. At a spec
ial meeting of the stockholders of
the company, held at Georgetown last
Monday the directo: were instructed
to close deal by which the corpor-
aticn will pass into the control of
the Colorado Power company, which
is the one big electric concern of the
state. The new company also takes
over the Green and Clear Lakes COM
pany, tie holding company for the
water sites owned by the Hydro com
pany, which include Green, Naylor
and Clear Lakes, situated above
Georgetown, a part of the same COM
pany.
The present officials of the COM

but expect to sooon be relieved of
their positions. The transfer in
cludes the power station at Idaho

RARE METALS MILL

The Rare Metals tungsten mill,
now being built at Rollinsville, in
this county will begin operations Sat
urday and will be second to none in
the great tungsten district.
The manager of this new mill is
none other than Nelson Franklin,
who has spent a lifetime at milling
and the study of the treatment of
different classes CT ores. He was
for many years conversant with the
treatment of our refractory sulphide
ores at his mill at Black Hawk, and
later became acquainted with the
more free gold ores at Cripple Creek.
Mr.. Franklin's schedule of prices
on tungsten ores ds such as will stim
ulate every producer of tungsten ores
no matter how low is the product.
On ores that contain a one-half unit
of tungsten acid per ton, he will pay
$500 per ton. Five dollars, per ton
for ores containing No of acid and
$500 for ores containing one percent
Ten dollars per tom will be paid for
ores containing 11s% acid. and $14.OO
per ton for ores containing go acid,
and a like proportion for higher
grades.
These prices are quoted on low
grade ores that the owners of low
grada properties may have a market
for thedr ores. The mill is equipped
with the most modern machinery, and
can handle 100 tons OF ore per day
easily. and under the guiding hand
Of Mr.. Franklin the miner is assur-
ed of fair and honest treatment.

RAILROADS INSIST
ON ARBITRATION

Advertisements that will be pub.
lished in every daily and weekly
newspaper in the United States have
been sent out by the railroads of
the country, whose offer to arbitrate
the wage dispute with their service
employees was refused by the labor
leaders at the joint conference held
in New York City from June l to Is.
This is said to be the most extern
sive newspaper advertising ever plac-
ed.
The advertisement is, in effect, an
, appeal to the public in a campaign
to submit the wage dispute to the In
terstate Commerce Commission. 1t
will appear in 1900 publications in
every city and hamlet capable of sup
porting a newspaper, and reach prac-
I tically the entire reading population
of the nation.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, under the powers delegated to
1t by Congress, has jurisdiction over
railroad rates, but not over wages.
The appeal is intended to convince
Congress that there is public senti-
ment for the extension of the pow
ers of the Commission over wages,
also. In view OF the new enormous
financial burden confronting them the
railroads believe the public, through
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
has tie right to be heard.
THE principal item in railroad
rates which must be paid by the pub
lie, is railroad labor" an official rep
resenting the railroads in New York
City asserts, Sixty per cent OF the
railroads expenses at present is Ia
Dor cost The demands of the Four
Brotherhoods for additional wages
would, IL granted, impose on the coun.
try am additional burden in transpor-
tation costs of 100000, 900 a year.
and this is legitimately a matter in
which the public should have a voice.
The railroads believe the wage
problem confronting them should be
settled by reference to an impartial
Federal tribunal. The railroads made
a formal proposal to their employees
at the recent conference, suggesting
methods by which the controversy
could be settled. One OF these was
to submit the dispute to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, the only
tribunal which, by reason OF its ac-
Icumulated Information bearing on
railway conditions and its control OF
the revenue OF the railways, was in
a position to consider and protect
the rights and equities OF all the in
terests affected, and to provide ad-
ditiopal revenue necessary to meet
the added cost Of operation in case
the proposals OF the labor unions
were found by the commission to be
just and reasonable.
THE other method suggested by
the railroads was that the controver-
sy be submitted to arbitration in &c.
cordance with the provisions Of the
Newlands act.
THE representatives Of the Four
Brotherhoods at the conference re-
fused to accept either suggestion and
the service employees are now vot-
ing on the advisability Of calling
nationwide strike"

COLORADO MINING

During the calendar year 1915 Colo
rado mines produced $22.419,0O0 in
gold, 100000 ounces of silver, 67,-
100000 pounds Of lead, 1912, 900
pounds of copper, aud 100. 900 900
pounds CT zinc, having a total value
of 42,795 AGA, aS compared with a
value of s33, ,46O,126 in 1914. During
the first six months of 1916, accord
! ing to returns received by the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, the out
put indicates a 15-per cent decrease
| in the yield of gold, very little change
in the production of silver, small
increase fer lead, an increase of 80
per cent for copper, and small in
crease for zinc. AS the average
prices for silver, lead, copper and
zinc are much higt er than in 1916,
this output represents considerably
increased gross value.
Cripple Creek annually produces 60
per cent of the states output of
gold, but in the first six months of
1916 the production there fell off ap-
preciably from that Of 1915, which
was $13,6S4, 900, the largest since
1906. TIE Sam Juan region has not
maintained the output of 1915, which
was $S,s5O,0OO in gold and $3.50 600
ounces of silver, the production hav-
ing fallen off in La Plata, Ouray and
San Juan counties, although there
was an increase in the production of
gold and silver in San Miguel coun-
ty. The idleness of the Wanakah
mine and smelter and the gradual de-
cline OF the Camp Bird mine caused
a decrease output Of all metals in
Ouray county. TIE measurable ore
reserves Of the Camp Bird mine. ac-
cording to the managers report for
, the first quarter of 1916, are reduced
to the almost negligible quantity of
about 200 tons, and there is little
consequence in the Camp Bird vein
until after the 2-mile adit, now being
driven, shall have reached the vein
some $50 feet lower than the present
workings. The time required to com
plete the adit is estimated at %
months. Lake county has not main
tanned it's gold production Of 1915,
which was 1920 900. but has in
creased its yield of silver. lead, cop
per and zinc. and the gross value Of
all metals produced in 1916 promises
to exceed greatly the $4,000 900 out
put OF 1915. With the unwateTing oi
the Penrose shaft now complete, the
unwatering Of the Harvard shaft ap-
preaching completion, the unwaterine
OF the Wolftone commenced, and the
resumption in, April of the Derry
Dredge. an increased yield for the
later half Of 1916 may be expected.
Eagle county's yield of gold showed
a decrease, but operations at Red
Cliff and at Eagle showed an increas
ed production of silver, lead, copper
and zinc. Summit county dredges
have not yet produced the proportion
they did in 1915. but increased ship
ments Of lead and zinc ore and con-
centrates have been made from Breck
enridge and Montezuma. Clear Creel
county showed a decrease for gold
but an increase for silver, lead and
copper, and Gilpin county's yield
showed en increase for copper only.
Mineral county's (Creede) production
showed improvement. which may be
expected to continue with the higher
price Of silver and the maintenance
Of milling operations, resumed after
period OF idleness.

LINGO OF AUSTRALIA
Description of a Baseball Game
Is Quite Unique.
Pitcher mounts the Box" and Treats
Batter With Respect
With Brilliant Hit Right
Out &c Left Fielo."

The following description OF base
ball game played recently In Australia
between native and American resident
mines gives an excellent idea or an
tipodean baseball vernacular:
THE American mounted the box first,
sending Marie to face the attack. The
pitcher treated him with respect, al
lowing him to walk to first. Casey
followed, and Hearnden's error ena-
bled him to reach second in safety.
Caswell then threw wildly at first bag,
and before the ball was recovered
Marie and Casey had sprinted across
the plate Tucker meanwhile, had
made good on the diamond, but Bragg's
fly, which was muffed, gave the fields
man an opportunity Of cutting the run
ner off at third. Bragg consequently
scored on Browns hit to the country,
making three runs for the inning.
Australia sent Hearndon to the box
first, but a putout at first base was
registered. Comber followed and
Mares bad throw saw him safely
landed at first. Colby then came with
a brilliant hit right out to left field,
bringing Comber home. Spiller, who
had been missed by the catcher, made
his way to third and a passed bali
completed the distance for him. III
the next term America could not get
Off the box, and then Australia made q
determined effort to draw level in the
succeeding term. Hearndon brilliant.
~ smashed to the left garden" for
two-bagger, and a passed ball sent
hin on to third. Another passed ball
completed the journey for him, and
the score read three-all.
"Spiller was indulging in daring
pilfering on the diamond, and well
judged steal gave him second base,
from where he was sent flying across
the plate on Golby's clout, which
Casey allowed to get past. Colby had
reached third when Lambert went
into bat, and the Leichhardt player
brought him home on fine outfield
hit, which produced two bags. Cas-
we'll then brought Lambert home. max
ing four runs for the session"

inning the Giants started q rally and
made one run. The game ended with
the score, to 2.
"The strain of that game was never
equaled by me. Upon it hinged a
league championship and the right and
honor of play in the worlds series. In
addition to this, the feeling in New
York was at such an extreme pitch
that we had received Black Hand let
