MANYsAEROPLANES
IN A GREAT FIGHT
Four French and Three German Ma
chimes Brought Down in Fierce
Battle in Alsace.

LONDON, March 90. - A raid by
French aeroplane squadron comprising
% machines on upper Alsace Saturday
night resulted i'll one of the greatest
aerial battles fought in the war. The
number of German machines which
took part in the engagement is not an
nounced, but the two squadrons appear
to have been fairly evenly matched
Four French aeroplanes and three Ger
man machines were driven to earth
Two of the German machines fell in
flames.
The raid which led to the battle was
directed against Muelhausen (Mul-
house, and Habsheim, on the edge of
the Hart Valid, just to the east of
Muelhausen. Altogether - shells were
dropped on the Muelhausen freight
station and the aviation camp at Hab-
sheim
| The German squadron rose to drive
off the invading French and gave bat
| tie at once. One of the most dramatic
incidents of the Engagement was duel
| between a French and a German ma
chine, which resulted III each of the
| two machines being riddled by the bull
lets of the other s machine gun. Boil
were compelled to descend. Three 9th
err French aeroplanes were so seriously
damaged that they were forced to lane
in German territory.
The official announcement of the
aerial battle given out yesterday il
Berlin says that the occupants of al
four French machines which descende,
were dead. The German statement say
that seven persons were killed and L
injured at Muelhausen by the bomb
dropped by the French machines am,
that one soldier was killed at Hab
sAeim.
Another raid of smaller proportion
was made by the French about til
same time on Metz, Chateau Salins. t
the southeast Of Metz, and Dieuze, cas-
of Chateau Salins. The targets in thi
raid, in which five double motored acre
planes took part, were the balloon ST;

C. ]. Van Fleet, of Charleston. W..

were arrivals last Thursday to ar
range for the installation of flota-
tion process in the Two Forty mill
in the Russell section. Mr.. McC1ave

have charge of the installation of
this system at the Two Forty. Work
at the mill will be started the first
OF the month. There is an enormous
quantity OF low grade ore in the Two
Forty mine that can be made to pay
a good profit with the flotation pro-
cess and when the improvements to
the mill are completed, work at the
mine will be resumed. In addition to
the company ore, custom dirt will be
run.

BEZANT MINE

The Bezant Gold Mining & Radium
Co., whose mines lie in Leavenworth
gulch, in driving the 160-foot level
west from shaft have encountered a
pitchblende streak OF ore, and have
exposed the same for distance of
20 feet.
On account of the foreign war, and
the want Of manufactures in this
country for the extraction of radium
from pitchblende ores, the. ore is
left standing on the walls until such
time as cur government completes its
extraction plant at Denver. The ore
(by test) lis proven to he highly "ra-
dto-active" and eeual to any hereto
fore found on Quartz hill, the pitch
blende center of America.
On this same level, now being driv
en- east from Shaft. has been encoun-
tered high-grade streak of gold
copper ore from six to seven inches
wide that assays hi gh in silver and
copper, as well as gold, and bids fair
to be a very productive ore shoot.

HOW TUNGSTEN
MARKET WAS CREATED

How a tungsten market was first
established fifteen years ago was told
to Nederland and Lakewood friends
this week by Mrs. Morris Jones, of
Boulder. whose husl and was a pio-
peer in the tungsten game. Mrs.
Jones has been visiting at the home
Of Joe Sowden in Lakewood.
Morris Jones, who came to the
tungsten district in 1900 found that
little was being done with the dis
let's most plentiful ore. He there
fore set out to find somewhere to
market it. Nobody knew much about
its uses and nobody knew of a mar
ket for the black metal.
Jones went to Chicago, and there
in the public libraries he worked for
several months, t anslating German
and uses aud gathering data to be
used later. When he had learned as
much as possible about the black
ore, he went to the Primos Chemical
company in Primos, Penn, and laid
his proposition before the officials.
They decided to try to use his prod
uct and after the rst tests wanted
more.
The man who made the market for
tungsten acquired several properties
in Gordon Gulch, built a mill and for
some time was the only buyer of
the ore. In 1906 he sold his hold
ings to the Primos company for 500,
900 and they moved the mill to Lake
wood. A year later he died.-Ned-

DUNkiN MINE

A carload of god ore from the
Dunkin mine at Breckenridge, Sum-
NIT county, Colo, consisting of 27
tons was sold to the Denver smelter
last week and netted 10000. This
mine is located on the same gold
belt that extends through Clear
Creek and Gilpin counties, and in
many places carries the same high
grade of ores. A vug of nearly solid
gold was recently encountered in
this mine, and four small sacks of
the ore taken therefrom netted the
lucky owners $4,000. One lot of
ore comprising the carload lot, re-
turned 971a ozs. god, while the 9TH
er lot returned lao ozs gold to the
ton. This demons trates beyond a
doubt that good gold mine returns
a greater dividend than any other
industry. and these profits are taken
from mother earth without bringing
distress upon any one.

STAR OF THE WEST MINE

The Star of tie West mine ship
ped a lot of ore to the Chamberlain
sampler this week fromthe east 800
foot drift that returned $5292 per
ton. They also shipped a wagon
load from the breast CT the west
300-foot level that returned $1,000 pei
ton. Tie smelling and concentrating
ore at this point is four feet wide
and is becoming of a higher grade
as the drift advances. The Gibson
mine belonging to the same company
and one of the group OF four U. S.
patents, has let a contract for a
steam hoisting plant to be installed
and workmen are now engaged in
installing the same.
This mine, like the Star of the
West, produced largely from surface
workings many years ago, and the
largest bodies of ore are found in
the deepest workings, as is evidenc-
ed in the breast of the 30O-foot level
on the Star of the West, where a
Wine is being sunk, showing the
streak to be wider as depth is gain
ed.
force Of lessees are now await
ing the completion of the hoist on
the Gibson, where they have body
of ore worth s55 rer ton, and other
leases will be let as soon as the
hoist is in operation.

eddy" Caused U-Boat
Crash, Says Captain
Continued from page ~

Captain w. A. Zones, shore super
intendent Of the Scott Co., which has
charge of the repairs, said he ex-
pected that the Deutschland would be
ready to leave within two or three
days.
Reports that a U-boat with gun
mounted was waiting outside the three
mile limit supposedly to convoy the
Deutschland failed of confirmation
here. Commander Yates Stirling, Of
the submarine base, said he had re-
ceived no reports from his boats of
the presence of the stranger. It was
also observed by Supt. Zones, of the
Scott company, that the Deutschland
would have no U-boat convoy on her
return trip to Germany. IL, .
First word Of the Deutschland's
damages from one who saw the sub
mersible after the accident came this
afternoon from Captain William e.
Whitney, United States Steamboat In
spector for this district.
81 found her stem twisted to star
board slightly and three plates were

injuries were all above the light wa
terline and they should be easy to
repair"
Captain Whitney set in motion an Of
fetal investigation to determine the
cause of the accident. For this pur-
pose he summoned Captain Koenig to
hearing set for 3 o'clock this after
noon. President Hilken, he said, as
sured him that the Deutschland's cap
tain would attend.

OBJECT TO PLAN
FOR PURCHASING
WHEELER'S LAND
Opposition to Buying Land
Near Courthouse is Be-
ing Manifested.

1t is reported that members of the
county building committee have not
yet been able to agree on the pro-
posal to have the county purchase the
Samuel H. Wheeler property which
adjoins the present courthouse on the
west. The majority of the members
appear to be In favor of the project
but there are several who are object
ing vigorously.
Those who favor the purchase de-
clare 1t would be advisable for the
county to own the land SO that the
grounds about the courthouse could
be made more extensive. 1t is feared
that an apartment house or some
other high building might be erected
and thus mar the appearance of the
courthouse. Those who object to the
purchase say the county has already
spent enough on the courthouse and
that there is no real necessity for &C
quiring the Wheeler lot.
