ther damage to Mr.. Swinson. but the
mayor freed his mind and then left.
The trouble grew out of another
step to restrain the city engineer
from drawing his pay for services as
city engineer and street superintend-
ent, the council allowing him bill
of s2O9.5O Monday night.
Former City Attorney Russell
again secured the necessary papers
to stop the payment of the bill as

ings, and Mayor Vandersluis would
not sign the pay warrant under the

The Yule Creek Molybdenite
Property

This property is situated about a
mile west of the divide between the
headwatcrs OF Yule creek and Slate
river and a quarter OF a mile hon
the old wagon rad Leading from the
Smith Anthracite mine to the Keene
Marble Quarries.
The Molybdenite derosite consists
Of three parallel veins that cut per-
pendicularly through the primitive
granite rock formation existing
here, these veirs are from one to three
feet in width, the matrix OF which
is a pure white quartz through which
the nolyb,lonite is disseminated IL
crystal opd flake forms. There
las been a considerable amount Of
work ione ON cacl OF these veins
and some twenty five or more tons
Of ore lies piled up on the dumps OF
these old working s. The ore itself
will average probably from one to
three per cent mineral that may be
easily hand cobbed to run ten per
cent mineral, while it may be con-
centrated either by the wet or dry
process with ninty per cent saw
ngs, to a practically pnre product of
molybdenum sulpliide. The present
price of nlolybdenite is forty dollars
per unit which is two dollars per
pound for this mineral the hand
assorted ore running ten per cent
(1'en Units )would l,e worth 1000,
Willie the concentrated product
would have n value Of $4,000 90, per
ton OF the pure mineral. A milling
plant to concentrate this ore would
he comparatively inexpensive and
there is plenty OF nine timber within
u mile of the property and water
powe. may be utilized from the Iule
creek stream Icing tl,c same distance
from the property, the old wagon
road to .he Smith Anthracite rail
road }oading spur, may be easily
r,paired for ore ard mine supply
lauIage, the distance being about
eight miles.

Case of Suicide

Tom Griffith came in from his
mine the last of the week and says
that the death of Jos Sokcast. was
a plain case OF suicide, he had placed
u loaded shotgun to his ear after
tying q string to the trigger the
other end OF which was fastener to
a door knob and then either pushed
the door back with his foot or drew
the gunup to his head which caused
the string to pull the gun off.
The entire back of his head was
shot away but the face was without q
scare, Coroner Walker came up from
Guunison with Geo Miller and dec
ided an inquest was not necessary
and the body was taken to Gunnison
for burial. The diseased had no rel
atives in this country and was an
Austrian by birth he was not in
financial trouble but in very poor
health and Respondent on this ac-
count, he had been a hard working
industrious man, honorable in all
his dealings and a good citizen.

Metal Mines To Boom

Now that. war is actually on, there
is no question but that the prices OF
metals will continue to rise until
peace is declared and mining res
uuieN in all the nations now en-
gagged in the greatest conflict the
world has ever known, The metal
mines are practically all shut down
in the countries that in times of peace
are among the largest mineral pro-
ducers in the world and operate i'm
mense smelling and refining plants
which are now practically inert and
going todecay and destruction. After
the war is over it will require years
to reopen their mine and rebuilt
snlclters TO treat the mine products.
Now is the time for our mining
fraternities to get busy and take adj
vantage of the situation, the prices
of our metal mine products average
more than double what they were
before this worlds war came and the
present is an opportunity that may
never come again to realize such
magnificent results as is now open
to the miner and mine operator.

TEN MILLIONS OF MEN.

and from this great number an army
OF 500. 600 viii be drafted within a few
months with an additional 100000 to
come later.
The fear OF q determined resistance
against the registration at places
proved groundless. There were riotous
scenes at Butte and ut Negaunec re-
curing troops to quell disorder, but
generally the registration was taken
chocrfully as a patriotic duty which
was well performed

arms. 1t shows that the great heart of
thc nation is sound and strong. 1t
means that we are united and deter
