AENzEL CROWN POINT
WILL CONSTRUCT MILL
(By Fred l.. Miner)

ROCHESTER,, Ney., April e.
Joseph f. Nenzel, president of the
Nenzel Crown Point Mines com
pany, is now in Rochester for the
purpose OF having surveys started
for the site of that company's pro-
posed mill on the American canyon
slope of Nenzel hill. Mr.. Nenzel
states that work on the first unit
of the 100 tons capacity will be
commenced early in May and push
ed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible.
The raise from the Pitt-Nenzel
tunnel to connect with the main
Crown Point workings is now up
over 100 feet, the winZe On the
Zero vein is going down rapidly,
and it is believed that the connec-
ton, which will be 800 feet, will
be completed by May first. The
Zero vein was recently crosscut in
the Crown Point workings in pre-
pairing to sink the winZe, and re-
veals "a feet of pay ore.
When the connection with the
Pitt-Nenzel tunnel is made, an air
pipe line will be strung through it
from the Crown Point compressor
and the tunnel will be continued
ahead through Nenzel hill. 1t is
the plan of the company to install
an electric haulage system in this
tunnel, because of the long haul re-
quired in tramming. This tunnel
is now in over 1900 feet and will
be nearly double that length when
completed. The property is look
ing very good in a general way and
has large showings of ore.

BOSS MILL IS
NEARLY READY
WILL SOON PERMIT ORE
TREATMENT

The Boss mill, the starting of
which has been awaited with intense
interest by this portion of the min
ing world, and with interest wher-
w the problem of the recovery of
platinum and vanadium from the ore
of the Boss mine has been discussed
or studied, has almost reached the
point where it will be put in opera
ton to run steadily for "a hours
each day.
AS in every new enterprise, there
are annoying defects in machinery
or construction which must be dis
covered and corrected before oper-
ations can begin. During the last
few days Manager o. j.. Fisk has
been running the roasting furnaces,
making a careful study of the work
ing of the process and changing
such small defects as experience
shows to be necessary.
On Friday tests were made of
the teaching process and these will
be continued until the details have
been perfected in practical opera
ton.
The method of saving the plati-
mum values has been perfected and
no question as to the success of the
mill remains. Only the incidental
delays usual in starting all indus
tries Of a similar nature stand in
the way of a flood of wealth from
the Boss. - G~oodsprings Gazette.

3O0-ton unit of which will soon be

Combined property which originally
comprised approximately 500 acres,
to which has recently been added
three other claims known as the
"Happy Jack" group, on which
there is a strong showing Of ore

Up to date, practically all the de-

Water for the mill and for the
new townsite adjacent to the pre-
sent town of Packard will be piped
from springs about $500 feet dis

mediate construction of a 50-room
hotel, and several business houses
are also planned.

This had happened: Victor Martin
AID Airline had been engaged. Some
one had led Airline TO believe that while
she was away from Brookville on q
visit, her fiance had been the life Of
several social occasions. The imputa-
ton was that Victor had fiirted out
rageously, whereas in truth and verify,
the big-hearted young fellow had sim
ply acted out his royalty friendly ma
ture of trying to make everybody
around him happy.
Nevertheless, when Airline had re-
turned to Brookville she had met her
lover with q gloomy and suspicious
heart. There had been a spat, minus
an explanation. Victor left her feeling
abused. Airline nursed her unjust an
ger, sent him back the engagement
ring, and the happiness of two tender
souls was abruptly shattered.
Only temporarily. however. for very
soon Airline decided that she could not
live without Victor. And he-a friend
gave him some advice which the tor
meDted Victor proceeded TO accept.

SHE JUST WANTED TO KNOW
Little Girls Curiosity Was Only Natu-
raj, and Her Action Was to
Be Expected.

One Sunday morning in the Brook
Ign Tabernacle, while Doctor Talmage
was in the midst of an interesting SER
mon and the eyes of the great con-
gregation were riveted upon him, and
the stiffness of death pervaded the
huge edifice an exceedingly comical
incident occurred.
Down in the center of the church,
almost crowded out of sight by her
older neighbors, sat black-eyed miss
of six years. Directly in front loomed
the bald head of an aged man.
While the little girl was looking at
the shining pate with curiosity. COM
man hOuSefly circled around and light
ed on the head. 1t stood motionless
for q second and then moved softly
over the smooth and shiny surface.
The aged gentleman was deeply en-
crossed in Doctor Talmage'S sermon,
and for a while evinced no uneaSineSS
from the ticklish manners Of the little
insect.
All the while the child's eyes fol-
lowed the movements of the fly. She
was deeply interested. and looked
around 10 see if somebody else wasn't
enjoying the scene.
Suddenly the old gentleman's arm
shot up, and came down with re-
sounding whack upon his Uranium.
The little one behind had been waiting
for this, and, sliding out of her seat
before her mother could check her, she
placed her chubby little hands on the
old gentleman's shoulders, and, peer
ing over into his face, unmindful OF
the time and place, asked with much
animation:

When eggs are high, chopped suet
can be sprinkled on top of buildings
containing milk, and they will be rich
and creamy.

If apples are cOred before pairing,
they will keep their shape better.
If a little cold water is added to
