Coming Governor Pays
Visit to Our City

State Treasurer Allison Stocker
left his office few hours Wednes-
day and made quick trip to Idaho
Springs where he met a number
of our representative citizens.
Mr.. Suckers chances for Sc
curing the republican nomination
for governor, and of course being
elected the next governor, are ex-
lceedingly bright. His reputation
asa successful business man. his
record as the state treasurer, his
ability as mixer and vote getter
and above all the high esteem in
which he is held by all who know
him, makes him particularly
strong candidate to go before the
people this fall.

Has Anybody Here
Seen Flanagan?

The Rocky Mountain News of
Wednesday published an item
purporting to emanate from this
city stating that miner named p.
M Flanagan had fallen down a
shaft in the Idaho Springs mill
1000 feet and was instantly killed.
After diligent search and extend
ed inquiry we have failed to locate
any mill at Idaho Springs with a
shaft 1000 feet deep, and we are
at a loss to know what use such a
shaft would be to a mill anyway.
The News correspondent must have
slipped a trolley or INDUCED in
too much radium water.
The Siftings received telegram
from the Wichita Ks.) Beacon
asking for full information regard
ing the reported accident They
were particularly anxious TO get
the names of Flanagan's brothers,
but nobody here knows anything
about Flanagan.

OnondagO Getting
Ready for Business

Ground has been broken for the
erection of the loading trestle, ore
bins and sorting house for the
Onondago Mines company on
Toas street, east of the George
town depot When that is com
pleted spur will be run from the
railroad track and the company
will commence heavy daily ship
ments.
Rapid progress is being made in
the driving ahead of the different
raises from which car of mill
dirt is being shipped daily.
AS soon as the present building
has been completed more time will
be spent in the development of the
veins which have been cut but not
worked.

Aurora Company
Doing Well in Lake

E. D. Quigley, president of the
Aurora Gold Mining company, re-
ports the showing in the Lake
mine as looking better with every
round of shots. Drifting from the
bottom of the Wine is being
pushed ahead vigorously, and the
entire vein is heavily mineralized.
A streak three feet in width is a
good grade of mill ore.
The present indications are that
within the next twenty feet the
main ore shoot will be undercut
and big body of smelling ore en-
countered.
The l. D. L. Leasing company
is another outfit that is taking out
big ore from the Lake vein. This
company has for several months
maintained an output of from 300
to 500 tons of good mill dirt, be-
sides big tonnage of smelling
ore. George X. Kimball is the,
resident manager of this company
and this fact alone insures prac-
tic al business method of mining.
The old Mosher lease on the Lake
vein, now owned and operated by Bell,
Moore & Co. maintains the usual out
put Of both mill and smelling ore. This
block of ground was bonanza for its
former owners, and from all indications
at this time will prove very profita-
BILE mine for its present owners.

Argo Mill Is A
Busy Institution

A trip through the Argo mill is
well worth the time of any one
interested in mining or milling.
Here can be seen the latest mod
ern methods OF milling and treat
ing the various ores of this dis
trict. The ore from each mine is
dumped into separate bins, and
from there fed through chutes on
to an endless conveyor which de-
livers it to the crusher and rolls.
From there it is elevated to the top
of the mill, where it is fed to the
quick dropping stamps by auto
matte feeders. From this point it
passes on down over the amalga-
nation plates to the concentrating
tables or cyanide tanks or to the
fiotation process, everything being
on the gravity system.
The fiotation process which was
installed the first of the year, has
proven great success in handling
most of the ores. The saving Of
values by this process has been in
creased from SO per cent to IS pei
cent, which the mill records show
was accomplished last month
Superintendent Pearce of the
mill is a practical, experienced
man in the mill business, and is
prepared to treat ores in various
ways to ascertain the best methods
Of saving the values. A visit to
the tunnel or mill in the morning
noon or evening will convince
anyone that there is something
doing in the mining line all the
time at this place.

Lowest Estimate Is 100000
For go Counties While
Some Politicians Believe
Cost Will Be Nearer $780,
900.

Indianapolis, March 3-That the
state wide primary, to be held in In
diana March 7th is going to be an
expensive proposition both to taxpay-
ers and candidates for office is the
opinion of political leaders of all
parties. There is much speculation
as to what it will cost the state and
these estimates vary, but no estimate
mas ma oeen lower than anaverage OF
$4,000 county. The lowest esti-
mate, therefore, is $4,000 for the go
counties of the state. Some politicians
think the cost will run to 100000.
Marion county, in which Indiana
polls is situated, has already appro-
of the primary. Some county officials
say this will not be enough. Some
of the smaller counties may not have
to spend, it is estimated, more than
$4,000. But the larger counties like
Lake, Vfgo, st. Joseph, Allen, and
vanderburg, and perhaps a few
others will, it is believed, have to pay
out SIS, 900 or more. Until all the
printing bills are in, however, it will
not be possible to ascertain the cost
of the primary with any certain de-
gree Of accuracy.
That the primary is hitting the can
didates hard, there is no question.
Practically all of the political leaders
say that there was never any candi-
date who made a canvass for an Of
ice, TO De nominated at a cOnven-
ton, that ever spent any ways near
what the primary is costing. The
greatest item of expense in the pri-
mary, is for newspaper advertising.
The candidates are using this method
of appealing to the voter, more than
ever before.
Because of the lack of contest, the
Democratic candidates for the higher
offices have not been called to spend
large amounts. The Progressive can
didates are spending practically moth
ing. 1t is the Republicans who are
making the strenuous campaign.
Republican candidates for United
States senator and governor, and
there are three for these two offices,
are making their great appeal to the
voters by displaying their photo
graphs, with reading matter IN the
The increase in the use
OF this sort of advertising has been

are two columns wide and ten inches

MERCHANT TELLS
OF HIS LIFE IN
DETENTION CAMP
American Relatives Effect a
Release Of Man Seized
In Wales.

New York. Mar. 3-Henrv Cohn
who has just been set free through
efforts of the British ambassador aft
ter fifteen months in a British con-
centration camp, was reunited to
some of his relatives in New York
including a brother whom he had not
seen for ten years. The brother is
George Cohn, who is in business at
Louisville, KY. The latter with the
ala OF influential Americans obtained
the release of his brother through
Ambassador Cecil Spring-Rice
Henry Cohn was thirty-nine years
old when he was arrested in his office
In Cardiff, Wales, because of his Ger
man ancestry. A photograph taken
few weeks previously showed him in
perfect health. Now he is hollow
checked and he seemed to have aged
ten years in the interval, his relatives
declared.

PLANTATION of his changed appearance
He had no complaint to make of the
physical conditions that affected him
while he was a civilian prisoner. He
said he supposed the British govern
ment acted as best it could under the
circumstances and in coping with the
unexpected situations it had to meet.
Henry Cohn was seventeen years
old when he left his home at Ham
burg, Germany, and went to Wales,
w mere ne IldO Since nVeO. lie GSCaD-
nhsed a Photographic manufacturing
buisn in Cardiff, where he had $50
employees and 35 other employees in
two shops and a studio. His sister
acted as his housekeeper. His story
of what occurred to him after the
commencement of the war is inter
esting chiefly because it portrays the
general experience OF all aliens there.
Sister Had to Leave Country
Because of his standing in the COM
munity English friends had obtained
fro him a permit, one of eleven spec
ial orders allotted among 300 aliens
under the ban, granting him permits
sion to remain in charge of his bust
ness. This continued until Oct %,
when he was placed under arrest,
taken to the cell without being al
lowed to go home even for an hour
or to arrange his business affairs and
next day was sent with many others
to Hartforth camp, near Manchester,
according to his story.
His sister was permitted To con-
tinue the business six months, when
she was ordered to leave the country

INDIANA STATE WIDE PRIMARY
WILL BE EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION
TO TAXPAYERS And CANDIDATES

SENTATIVE estimate. Republican can
didates for senator and governor have
had such advertisements in this string
! OF newspapers anywhere from three
TO dozen times. The repetition, is
explained by the fact that some OF
the men began their active campaign
last August while others began theirs
later.
Campaign buttons, stickers, cards
posters, street car adds and remnants
have been distributed with a lavish
hand.
Next to the advertising, the next
item of expense probably, is for
transportation and hotel bills of the
candidates and their managers. The
motor car has played. a great part
in the primary. With the use of this
means of transportation, a candidate
is able to make several meetings a
day. All the candidates for senator
and governor, claim they have Visited
every county in the state at least once,
and it is understood that one of the
senatorial candidates is making his
third. trip to every county in the
state.
Postage has been a big item of ex-
penses. 1t is estimated that each
candidate has sent out from 100000
to 200, 600 pieces Of mail and most
printing of circulars has also cost a
lot of money.
Not the least of the candidates ex-
penses has been the maintenance of
headquarters consisting of large suites
of rooms in down town hotels or Of
flee buildings in Indianapolis. Some
of the candidates have even maintain
ed headquarters recently, in the
larger cities of the state, outside of
the capital. This has meant the en-
p1oyment Of c1ergs, stenographers, and
messengers, all of which have cost
considerable. Telephone and tele-
graph tolls will run into hundreds OF
dollars
Various estimates have been made
as to the amount the different cand1-
dates will spend. Some are specu1at-
ing that two of the most active can
didates for governor and two for SEN
ator will have expended close on to
100000 at the close of primary day.
They figure that it will cost each one
approximately $4,000. The expenses
will not cease until the polls are
closed as some of the candidates, it
is declared will have motor cars at
every precinct in the state to see that
their friends get to the polls as well
as hired workers at the 3,177 voting
precincts.

Y. w. C. AS Golden Jubilee

Young Women's Christian Associa-
lions throughout the United States
Canada, Great Britain and many
other lands will celebrate today the
semi-centenary Of the founding OF
that influential and beneficent So
ciety. The observances of today COM
memorate a meeting held in Boston
half a century ago, when society
was launched by women of that city
who desired to aid and encourage self
in search of employment. From that
small beginning has grown UP an in
ternational organization of eighteen
national associations.
While the Young Mems Christian
Association, which inspired the for
nation of a somewhat similar body
for the fair sex, was of English origin,
the Young Wonan's Christian Assoc
citation was of distinctly American
birth. The Ladies' Christian Union
of New York, established in 1858, was
the forerunner of the society found
ed in Boston eight years later. New
York thus shares with Boston the
honor of being the birthplace of this
movement for the spiritual, social,
mental and physical development of
young women.
The Y w. c. A national organiza-
ton of the United States leads in
point of numbers, with 979 branches,
of which 721 are student associations,
245 city associations, and g county
associations, with a total membership
of nearly $4,000. New York city
alone has ten branches which carry
on the work in different parts of the
metropolis.
The Worlds Y w. c. A. was
launched in 1894, and eighteen ma
tiona1 associations are affiliated with
it, including those Of the United
States, Great Britain, Canada, Aus
fra1aSia Fra nee Ttalv GERMANY. HOl-
land, Finland, South Africa, Portu-
gal, Japan, Sweden, India, Denmark,
China, Hungary and Brazil. The in
ternationa1 body maintains headquar-
tiers in London. The American asso-
citation maintains a national training
school which was opened last Sep,

and from foreign lands study the best
methods of social work.

PEKINC EXCITED
AT PROSPECT OF
STREET RAILWAY
Time Becoming of Use To
Chinese and Overtures ,
Are Invited.

Picking, March 3-Peking is again
alive with rumors that the city is to
have a. street railway system. AL
though the city has a population of
about one million Inhabitants. it has
never had any sort of street cars.
Rfckshaws drawn by coolies afford the
chief means of transportation. Old
fashioned Chinese and Manchus cling
to the clumsy Picking cart, which is a
heavy two-wheel wooden cart, without
springs, drawn by a single horse or
mule. The cart has an ark-like cover,
under which passengers sit in a
crouching position. The driver sits
on small extension in front of this
cover with his legs dangling at the
horses heels.
Roads about Picking are so bad, and
many of the streets are so narrow that
automobiles are little used, and even
rickshaws which can worm their way
into the narrowest alleys.
An American Company is now re-
ported to have made oVertures for the
street car franchise. Several months
ago and English and French cornbina-
ton was bidding for the street car
privilege in Picking, and at one time
it was reported to have entered into
a contract with the government The
minister of the interior, Chu Chi-chien
who is acting director of the Picking
municipality, has called general
meeting of officials for a discussion of
the proposed street car lines The
Chinese are eager for an improved
importation system.
Peking has two railway stations
which are on the opposite sides of the
city, a distance of more than four
miles apart. This trip requires near
~ an hour in a rickshaw In the
days when time was of little value to
the Chinese, suggestions concerning
electric street railways were ignored
But now time has come to be more of
a factor in Chinese life, and there
seems to be little opposition to cleo
trio cars.
The summer palace, which is prob
ably the greatest show place in the vi
cinity of Picking, is about twelve miles
from the legation quarter and in the
vicinity of Using 'Hua College, which is
sustained by the Boxers indemnity
funds RENTED by the American gov
eminent. These two points of inter-
est are much sought by tourists and
will probably be connected up by cleo
tricity when the city gets a, street car
system. The Ming tombs, the Nan
kou Pass the Great Wall, and
than one hundred miles from Picking,
afford great opportunity for an cleo
trio inter-urban system. Tien-tsin,
the seaport for Peking, is only eighty
miles away
