hl5S LutitC LdASy. WV leCPNA0A b
night operator of the telephone
company, is visiting. in Denver
this week.
Brandstetter and Butler are
shipping regularly, their ore being
worth Sl25 per ton in the various
metals.
Hansen and Hall are shipping
from their lease on the Common
wealth. A recent shipment of a
carload brought $50 per ton in
copper, gold, silver and lead.
The Smuggler, on Brown
mountain, has developed into one
of the best paying mining PROPOSE
tons in the upper end. and main
tains its regular monthly ship
ments.
Harris and Campbell, who have
a lease and option on this valuable
group, after long seige of dead
work. are now ready TO begin re-
gular shipments. their last ore
being worth $50 per ton.
The Wasatch and Colorado
Mining company. who are operat-
ing the Frank Graham interests
under lease and bond, ane shipping
500 tons of zinc and POO tons of
silver lead per month that average
$50 per ton. The crnde ore is
produced from the Victoria and
Diamond tunnel properties and
treated at the company's mill.
The Terrible group. with past
production record running into
the millions, has been undergoing
systematic development for some
time. with the result that large
reserve of high and medium grade
ore is in evidence. a large ton
mage is awaiting settlement, the
ore being high grade silver and
lead, with a small percent of gold.
About twenty tons of crude ore
is being shipped daily by The
Onandago company to the Hudson
mill in Idaho Springs. The smelt-
ing ore is being shipped to the
sampling works in Georgetown.
AS soon as connection is made
from the Cain level, the working
force will be increased, which will
no doubt put the mine on a divi-
dend paying basis, as with good
circulation of air the large ore re-
serves can be economically worked.
Manager Graham of the Cham
berlain sampling works, with an
increased force, is running to full
capacity Since he commenced
paying for zinc in the ores, miners
are receiving a much better price,
as at present ore assaying 40 per-
cent zinc is worth $40 per ton for
zinc alone, with lead varying from
SLOT per unit for 5 percent lead
up to 81 p per unit. making so
percent lead worth S6O.5O per ton
for the lead values, with from S.
to S. per unit according to copper
contents.
Political activities have begun to
manifest themselves in GEORGETOWN
and by next week it is expected
that two entire tickets will be in
the field. Judging from the
numerous rnmors heard about
town, the candidates will be almost
as plentiful as the snowfall has
been during the winter months.
In former years the various offices
have been almost forced to go seek
the candidates, while this year it
is feared there will not be nearly
enough offices to satisfy the mum.
erous candidates, one certain sign
that there still remains spark of
life in the community, which will
soon be kindled into a blaze.

HIS PROGRAM
Says There is Nothing Unusual
in His Raising An Army

Q York, April 6.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt issued a statement
mere tonight in which he denied that
'unw1se precedent would be created,

MN to raise a division for active SER
vice on the French front.
,Ihe American people," asserted
ozone Roosevelt, ARE united behind

wage effective. aggressive wal for our
rlsnts and for the rights of humanity
ana civilization. I believe that our
people now realize that the system of
UNIVERSAL military service is the only
effective and the only absolutely DEM
ocratic system.
IN addition I believe that the
american people desire that in the
ilnlneolate future we send abroad a
large expeditionary force.
1T is an excellent ana %indispensa-
ole thing to raise money for and fur
n1sh supplies to our allies. This. OF
course. must be done.

their own fighting. They do not wish
merely to a others to night for them,

selves and to the national honor to

ACTION MUST COME

Washington, April 6.-The United
States will not relations or de-
clare war with Austria, Bulgaria or
Turkey. Any change that may come
in the relations of this country with
members Of the central alliance. other
than Germany, must be precipitated
by them.
Nevertheless. 1t is expected here
that Germany will force her allies to
share her relationship to the United
States. Ambassador Penfeld's sum
moning to Washington by The state
department. admittedly officially. to-
day for the first time, is declared not
to forecast aggressive action toward
Austria by this country. but to be for
entirely different rea ors, The one

The notary's house was full Of legal

At the. entrance to the town is a
notice. "Durchang bel tag streng YER

"Keller fur 60 Mann"
AT the entrance to the dugout below
the Town hall is a notice, "Ver-
wundete und kranke." and staring US
in the face as we entered the Grande
Place was a big board hung up on a
house with the legend. "Nicht argern

only be astonished.) That was the
greeting of the departed Germans to
h incoming British and seemed to
me clumsy irony.

THF MARKET WORLD
VALUES HIT
NEW HIGH LEVELS

Chicago, April 6.-wheat values
whirled upward today, five cents
above previous top records, impelled
in a great degree by disturbing crop
reports from Kansas and Nebraska
and by Washington news OF proposed
immediate war appropriations tnat
aggregated billions. h market
closed furried at net advances OF
3 SIS to S Ia cents with May al
$2.O5 SIS to $2.O6 and July at
$1.75 Ia to $1.75 1-2. Corn finished
1 Ia to 2 ga cents up and oats
gained 3-8@1-2 to / 1-8 cents. In
provisions there was an ascent rang
ing from 20 to 65 cents.
In the general stress of war feel
ing bearish factors that had at times
depressed the market were virtually
forgotten. Among these influences
were possible government control OF
prices, statements that foreign hold
ings Of wheat in Chicago were small
reports that aside from Kansas
and Nebraska the outlook was hope
full as to crop conditions for winter
wheat.
Corn assembled with wheat to a new
top level for the season. Oats had
some independent strength on ac-
count of export sales Of 10000 10
bushels for this week.
Provisions rose to new heights with
corn and hogs. Decreased ware
house stocks counted also as an
element Of strength.

MAJOR. GENERAL LIGGETT IS KEEN
STUDENT OF THE WARS LESSONS

Washington, April 6.-The newly
made Major General Hunter Liggett,
who will command in the western mill
ttary department, has behind him the
conventional and creditable service
record-the west. the Spanish war,
the Philippines. the Texas border. His
share in 1898 was to help to impro-
wise a volunteer army; his duties in
the adjutant generals Office gave him
no chance at the Spaniards. In. 1899,
he ven to Cuba with the army Of oc-
cupation. promptly contracted typhoid
and was invalided home-one Of the
disappointments Of his life. He made
up for 1t, however, in the Philippines.
His rapid promotion has been chief

wal college. The army gives him a
great share of the credit for its eff
fectiveness. He had charge of COL
iecting the data in advance for a Mex
lean campaign. In Texas his ability
to make soldiers in q hurry again
asserted itself. His command was the
Fourth brigade, and he worked the
men without mercy.
said Of him. Certainly the brigade
at intrenchment practice dug up a
good share of that part Of the Lone
Star state, until they could Ego to
ground faster than any rivals.
General Liggett is one of the
youngest officers of his rank. He
has been n Of the keenest and most
eager students Of the military les
sons taught in Belgium and France,
Possibly that explains his zeal for
proficiency.
Personally he is said to be about
the quietest and most retiring Of the
generals. He married Miss Harriet
