FIRE TAKES COlOR[D LiDrs
HOUSE AND BEL0MC|lcs

About FIVE O'Clock Saturday Morn
ing, many people were aroused from
their beds by the sound Of the fire
alarm. The fire was at the home of
Mrs. John Lawrence. The house was
directly west Of the La Veta hotel, and
belonged to Mrs. NJ. English, Of Louis
vile, Kentucky. The elderly colored
lady has lived there for . number Of
years at the expense Of the county. It
is not known exactly how the IRE
started, but II il thought that Il was
caused by the lamp. Practically no
thing Of any value was saved; the
house was burned to the ground.
The houses next to it were burned ON
the outside, but nothing was touched
on the inside. Mrs. Lawrence's son,
Fred Bailey, was away from home at
the time, and the old lady was alone
when the fire stagtsd.

STILL NO COUNT. NO cAR

81, ~ Lawsuit.

The Empire Prize car IL still in
status quo, otherwise in limbo, or to
speak more plainly in durance vile.
We left It last week 1t Eastman's
garage in charge Of Constable Jack
Jennings, who assessed it for costs Of
$l21 and some cents. Mcdowell, the
"co-owner" alleged that he had . bill
Of sale, but Judge Sills held that q
the "sale" was made during progress
Of the trial and was m evident at-
tempt TO get from under. this would
not hold. Il might or might 1ct BE-
fraudulent. There are also 9arage
bills Of hundred or 90, various other
claims, and we understand Won. No. 2,
the erstwhile contest manager, has
several hundred dollars for expenses
against it, and is contemplating . suit
for $25, 100000 damages for false i'm
prisonment.
In the meantime; the "co-owner''
announces in the paper that he has
bought the Empire, soul, body and
baggage, and is now "sole owner"
However, this may be a wash sale,
too, for Won. No. is still "hangin'
aroun,'" and indeed seems the whole
cheese as foreman" under an alleged
contract to act in that capacity.
But what about the fair contest
ants? They anxiously expected q
count, but the management after max
ing several false starts declare they
found it impossible to make any sort
of count that would be fair to any
body. The mess is SO complete that
the more it is turned the worse it
gets.
However, this is generally believed
to be just stall to avoid giving the
car at all. That expensive white
elephant has already cost the Empire
q great many hundred dollars more
than they took in, and Of course, II
they can renig on the chief prize and
all the other prizes, they will gain q
reputation for thrifty dealing, to say
nothing Of high finance.

PYRITE FOR sULPHURIC ACID
United States Government Asking for
Infognatioa.

News-C Champion has received the fol-
lowing request from our State Geo
ologist, which miners Of Gunnison
county will do well to look into.
The manufacture Of munitions of
war has increased the demand for
sulphuric acid. This country imports
from SOC, 100 to 1000 900 tons Of
pyrite annually for the manufacture
Of sulphurie acid The pyrite comes
chiefly from Spain, and IN 1915 over
200 ships were engaged in this trade.
The urgent demand for shipping for
more important war business makes
it highly desirable that these ships
be released for other service. It
is also desirable that the raw mater
ials be found in this country. The
War Minerals Committee of all the
United States Government is asking
for the cooperation of all agencies
through which it may be possible to
get information regarding deposits Of
iron pyrite Of sufficient size to make
development and shipping possible.
Two lines Of information are especial
ly desirable at this time. First, re-
garding mines formerly producing
pyrite for the pyrite alone. pyrite ores
worked for gold, silver or copper. Sec
ond, regarding undeveloped pyrite de-
posits which offer promise Of develop
ment into sources Of iron pyrite wheth.
er gold or copper bearing or free from
these metals.
To assist the government in its
search for materials for sulphuric acid
manufacture the Colorado Geological
Survey is making a check list of all
deposits of the kind mentioned. If you
know of any such deposits you will
be giving valuable assistance If you
will at once communicate with me CIV
ing rs full details as possible regard
ing the ores. As soon as check list
is complete it is the purpose Of the
War Minerals Committee to make full
investigation Of promising deposits.
Kindly give this matter the earliest

The Star mine has Q big wonder
deposit of 20 per cent lead ore, was
the report brought by R. s. Downs,
Friday when he came in from Italian
mountain for q couple Of days. Four
four horse teams are hauling to Glac-

Miller, Forest Duncan, Fred Dunbar,
and Mr.. Downs. One miner and q
mucker keep ahead of the teams, and
the ore is rolling down Cement creek.

ings. John Larsen, the superintend-
ent, is at the property now.
Representatives of the Ford Motor
Company are again at Pitl<in this week
investigating the tungsten mines
there. Pitkin Miner reports the prob
able erection of $50 to 200 ton con-
centrating mill on the Emma H. which
is a tungsten producer. Ira B. Coy,
formerly clerk and recorder of Crow
ley county, now an owner in this mine
was in Pitkin last week looking over
the situation. Tungsten is now on a
better basis than ever before and the
Pitkin bids fair to reilly develop into
. great tungsten producing country.
ine Miner reports that Jas. Har-
baugh has leased his molybdenum
mine situated at the base Of Sigel
mountain to Gaylord Aiken Of the
Rare Metals Production Co., of Dem
yer. This same company has also
leased from Major H. s. Ehrman the
Emma H. No. 2. Molybdenum and
tungsten in this section seems to be
associated and both rare metals are
now in great demand.
Frank Hoheisel was here on business
from the Doctor mine over Wednesday
night. A full force is getting out the
zinc ore and shipping It steadily. The
