Camp Very Prosperous

White Pine is generally called the
most fiourishing mining camp Of the
Gunnison country these days, and all
reports indicate a world of ose in
sight there.
The big Akron company, especially
is fairly swamped with ore and after
putting on the third truck hauling to
Sargents is unable to handle any con-
siderable portion of its ore. In fact,
a railroad seems the only outlet for
the camp.
The Akron trucks, haul two and q
half tons at load and are sched-
uled to make four trips day to Sar-
gents.
On the old North Star working the
Akron company is putting in stulls
nine and half feet wide, where the
famous blue-black ore of zinc-lead
quality, every ounce of it shipping
mineral, is being taken out.
The Ensign lease is producing from
an immense body of iron-copper ore,
that is five sets wide. This is re-
ported to return s to 81 per cent cop

Last week q somewhat detailed ac-
count was given of the life history
and habits Of the common mosquito.
We found where they live and some
of the delicate stages in their life.
This discussion was given in order to
pave the way for the present con-
sideration of how they might be re-
duced in number in our little city. Be-
fore attempting ,the difficult task Of
convincing some Of my readers that
there is some possibility along this
line, it seems wise to call attention to
the mastery of the human tribe over
the inhuman mosquito in other battle
fields. By 80 doing, we shall see that
the work has been very successfully
carried on in places where the task
was much greater than in Gunnison,
and that the suggestions which are to
be given are not original with the
writer, but have been effective thru
out the Southland.
A. soon - the American inluence
WAS extended to Havana, (Cuba) sys-
tematic battle began to rage against
the yellow fever. mosquito which for
years had been exacting heavy death
tolls from every section Of the city.
The following table showing the an
nual death toll caused by yellow few
er will suffice to prove that the mo-
squito, which carried the germ, was
extermihated:
In 1896, when the mosquito had his
way, the number of victims was 1886;
in 1S97,-S5s; 1s9s,-136; 1s99,-1O8;
in 19O0,-3lO Ia year of slack meth
od), but in 1901, only 1S deaths, while
in 1902, not one death was reported.
In 1906, the mosquito-plague in
flicted New Orleans-the great, busy,
joyous metropolis Of the South. The
citizens fought "blindly, frantically,
and in agony Of panic" At the close
of the seasons non-systematic fight,
New. Orleans lay spent and PROSTATE.
This taught them lesson, for at the
beginning Of the next season, every
citizen fully realized that something
must be done. No one thought Of the
impossible, no one dared to suggest
Failure" but every man, woman and
child became soldier Of the public
health and happiness. There was no
panic; no terrified citizens; no mob
rule; no "slackers," but every man
did his duty. The result Of such de-
termined fighters is shown in state
ment Of very noted scientist when
q northern man desired some speci-
mems Of yellow fever mosquitoes for
laboratory demonstration: II am
afraid we cannot furnish you with
specimens Of that mosquito. I only
see one once in while here in Louis

from state like Louisiana, where the
