TOMMY KENDR|CK
 DIES FROM =. HIS BURNS Fs, HH f@ "

The Seattle Post 1ntelligencer con tains the following sad account of the death of boy who formerly lived here where he was we'll liked by all who knew him and who extend their sympathy to the sorrowing parents:
 Thomas H Kendrick, 1O-year-old sherman schoolboy was tatally burn ed Monday morning while warming himself before a fire at the family home 37371a North Cheyenne street, and died Tuesday morning as a re- suit of his burns and accompanying shock. The Kendrick family recently moved to Tacoma from Alaska. Mon day morning the boy was standing before a dining room heating stove to dress, when his nightgown caught fire, the flames spreading so rapidly that he was frightfully burned.
 Mr. Kendrick suffered severe burns on both hands in his attempt to ex- tinguish the flames Thomas had run into the room where other members of the family were, crying for his mother. Although less than a minute had elapsed from the time the gown caught fire until it had been torn off, more than one-third of his body had heen frightfully burned.
 The boy, who is the son of Mir. and Mrs. w. E. Kendrick, had been warn ed at various times by his father against standing close to the stove in his night clothes. Childlike, the fath- CT says, Thomas never needed the warning. not realizing the evident danger
 Dr. Gaul, living nearby, was sum- moned and gave the burned boy treat ment Later the physician announced that no hope was held by him for the lads recovery.
 The Hendricks came to Tacoma three months ago from Juneau, Al aska. The body of Thomas was re- moved to the Buckley-King com pany's.

Case Against Butts
Is Dismissed

Edward Butts of Georgetown,
who who charged with embezzling
the funds of the Big Indian Min
ing company, the Kansas City
Mining and Milling company and
the Law Mining company, won a
dismissal of the case by setting
up claim of three months pay
owing from one company against
an admitted shortage in the funds
of another company. There was
difference in the amounts be-
tween the vouchers as turned in
to the Big Indian company and
the checks issued by Butts, also All
admission of bills not paid which
had been reported to the company
as paid. Butts had contracted to
give his entire time to one COM
pany for certain stipulated sum,
then accepted salary for also re-
presenting other companies.
The shortage charged against
Butts totaled $500. Justice Noone,
who tried the case, in his finding
allowed shortage of S346.5O of
the Big Indian funds but allowed
Butts claim Of 1915 against the
Kansas City company for three
months pay at 1925 because Butts
had not been given 80 days notice
of dismissal. Thus, instead Of
being short in his accounts, some
body is owing Butts balance of
$3.50, but who owes it Justice
Noone does not state in his
finding.
1t is perhaps the first case on rec
ord where an alleged civil claim has
been allowed to offset and ad-
mitted shortage in funds entrusted
to an agent, and particularly where
the civil claim is against one party
and the funds embezzled belonged
to another.
Deputy District Attorney R.
G.. Smith prosecuted Butts and
John J. White of Georgetown
defended him.

Four Feet OF Mineral
Worth $3.50 Ton

Burkholder & Co., who have
been crosscutting in the Aetna
vein to get into the rich streak in
the Hanson & Co. lease, have
opened up four feet of mineral
that gives assay returns Of lilo
ounces gold, 60 ounces silver, II
percent lead and II percent copper,
for which the Chamberlain sampler
pay $3.50 per ton.
Their crosscut was started 10
feet above the tunnel level. The
intention now is to crosscut from
the tunnel level, when a more
economical exploitation of their
ground can be had and better
saving made in the extraction OF
their ore.
The strike shows the ore extend
ing downward and it is the opinion
of those who have studied the
situation carefully that by far the
greatest and richest ore bodies will
be found at a much greater depth,
and that this vein is the same as
the Lamartine, Comet and Ruler
on the east, and the Colorado
Central Waldorf properties and the
Pennsylvania in Summit county
on the west, all of which have
added many millions to the wealth
of the county.
Other slessees are raising and
crosscutting to get into this ore
zone, while the regular monthly
shipments have not diminished.

Electricty's Part In
Our Mining Activity

There are great many factors
that 60 to make. up the sum total
of our present mining activities.
There has always existed the old
law of supply and demand that
has to large extent been the
principal governing factor i'll price
fluctuations but never before has
the factor of production costs en-
tered into the miners calculations
as it does today.
In past times the production of
ore has been governed largely by
the value of the pay dirt" as
shown by the assay returns, it
being assumed that the treatment
costs as well as production costs
could be determined by the results
based on past experience
Generally speaking, the net re-
turns from an ore shipment are
equal to the gross value of the ore
less the production and treatment
costs. Naturally, then, with a
given ore value the lower the pro-
iduction and treatment costs, the
higher the net profits.
Operators are today placing in
creased emphasis on this very point
with the result that if such thing
as a break in the metal market
should occur they are we'll fortified
in the matter of low production
costs and can operate profitably on
much lower ore value than ever
before.
The biggest and most potent
factor in low production costs has
been the introduction of custom
electric power to the various min
ing operations. The proof OF the

Valuable Streak Found
On Douglas Mountain

Another important gold strike
is reported from the st. George
lode on Douglas mountain.
Charles A. Fulton, practical
mining man has been for some time
carrying on systematic develop
ment Of the property. His efforts
have been rewarded by recently
opening up about fifteen inches of
mineral. A small portion of this
streak gave returns of 35 ounces
in gold, while the remainder is
heavy lead and zinc. Eliminating
the silver, lead and zinc the gold
alone would be worth $7OO per ton.
A large tonnage is now sacked
and stored at the mine awaiting
shipment.

Death Claims Another
Clear Creek Pioneer

Mrs. Anna Francis Howard,
one of the pioneer women of the
county died at her home in Lawson,
Monday, Feb. 26th. Mrs. Howard
was born in Baltimore, Maryland,
10 1S4S and was married in that
city to the late NJ. J. Howard.
They came to Georgetown in 1876
and to Lawson in 1873. Mrs
Howard was we'll and favorably
known to everybody in her home
town and was highly respected and
esteemed by all her associates. She
was also known throughout the
county by all of the old timers
aud was a member Of the Gear
Creek Pioneers association, and it
was her custom to attend the
annual reunion of the pioneers,
where she enjoyed meeting not
only the older people, but the
younger generation as well.
Mrs. Howard leaves three sons,
Courtney, John and Emmett, all
of whom were with her at the time
of her death, and one sister who
lives in Baltimore, together with a
large circle of friends to mourn
her death.

SPRINGS, COLO, FRIDAY, MARCH

pudding is always in the eating
and judging by the way the usage
of electric power in the Clear
Creek -Gilpin section has increased
recently, it seems that the mining
operators pudding" has had a
decidedly attractive taste.
Time was when the installation
of electric service made necessary
the outlay of considerable cash on
the part of the operator, but ac-
cording to the latest schedules of
the Colorado Power company it
seems that the company realizes
the results to be gained by the
'partnership' idea and have taken
upon themselves the greater
financial burden in the matter of
these installation costs.
This partnership idea, according
to E. L. Siekmann of the company,
takes the form of four additional
inducements made possible by the
introduction of this new schedule.
They are briefly as follows:
(a) In the past it was necessary
for the operator to purchase his
own transformer equipment for
stepping down. the voltage from
10000 volts to lower voltage
suitable for the motors. This ex-
penditure, which usually amounted
to about $4,000, is now entirely
eliminated, inasmuch as the power
company furnishes this equipment
at merely nominal cost.
(b) When mining company
so desires it can make arrange
ments with the power company to
| buy its equipment on a deferred
payment plan that will allow it to
obtain the use of the equipment
while paying for it. This is great
boon to the companies operating
with a small amount of ready
capital.
Co The company has granted
very low rate per kilowatt hour
for all purposes where the ''load
factor" is high or in other words,
where long hour usage in each
month is obtained.
(d) All advances for purposes
of line extension to the users
property will be rebated to the
user in the form of power. This
feature alone is of primary impor-
tance in that it brings the actual
coat of obtaining power service
down to an insignificant sum when
compared with the benefits to be
derived from its use.
These seem to be the "havoring"
that lends the attractive taste to
the electric power pudding
AS evidence of the fact that these
features have given an immense
impetus to the lower production
cost feature we have made inquiry
from reliable sources with the re.
suit that the following signs of
renewed activity have been brought
to light

An Idaho Springs Boy
Who Has Made Good

The Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph company publishes
a monthly 'house organ" called the
Monitor for the dissemination of
news of interest to their army of
employees and, we dare say, to the
public as well. The Monitor is in
charge of Mr.. J. F. Greenawalt as
editor, and the general attractive
ness of the publication is of itself
sufficient inducement to cause
anyone who chances to receive a
copy to scan every page
In the February issue of the
Monitor we have read most
hattering story of the success of an
Idaho Springs boy and we take
pleasure in reprinting it in full.
