Red Cross Benefit
Next Thursday

The funds of the local Red
Cross chapter have been running
little low. The money raised
some time ago has been used
largely for the purchase of the
raw material used in making up
the many necessities for the
soldier boys, and it is now neces-
sary to raise more funds to carry
on the work.
The Ways and Means COM
mittee mas decided to give benefit
performance at the Opera House
next Thursday evening, Nov.
ember %. There will be two
shows, and in addition to the
regular picture show there will be
some special entertainment pro-
vided by the colored soldier boys
stationed at Camp Griswold. Two
other colored men from Denver
-one of them professional COM
edian-will also take part in the
performance and endeavor to make
the entertainment we'll worth
while.
The prices will be 15c and 25c,
and tickets will be sold by the
committee.

Railroads Moving Record
Breaking Potato Crops

The railroads are now moving
what promises to be the biggest
potato crop in the history of the
country. This crop, which it is
estimated will total approximately
453 billion bushels, or half again
as much as last years crop, has
been on the way since the middle
of September. The movement of
it will continue until about April
of next year.
Reports received by the Com
mission ON Car Service indicate
that, even with intensive loading,
more than 10000 cars will be
needed to handle the potato crop.

Ready TO Maintain
Steady Production

After long period of develop
ment work in which a thoro ven
tilation of the mine was effected,
the Capital company are now in
position to maintain "a future
steady production, at the same
time pushing the west drift ahead
at the rate Of $50 feet per month.
The intention is to eventually
connect with the Colorado Central
and Aliundi mines.
Bruce q Co., Pearson d Co.,
and Oklun Brothers are the
principal shippers at present,
while the showing in number
of the other leases would warrant
the prediction that the output will
be more than doubled in the very
near future.

SdnlZdtlOn OF Lne new county coui-
mercial association, Idaho Springs
had the honor Thursday evening
to entertain.
Fully 275 people attended the
business meeting and the fes-
tivi.ies which followed. This
number would have been largely
increased had it been feasible
to run special train from the
upper end of the county, but war
prices put this feature out of con-
sideration. Quite large number
came in autos, however, and the
various camps of the county werc
pretty well represented
The lunch was already prepared
and served in boxes and consisted
of a sandwich, pickle, olives, pie
and cake and then a cup of good
hot Mocha and Java to top off
with. The Georgetown people
suggested that the constitution of
the association be amended to
include "box lunch" for each
meeting.
In the absence of President w.
Fl. Stephens, who was i'll, Mayor
Moscript presided. After speak
ing of the Importance of a good,
live commercial association the
mayor introduced j. G. Bailar, as
sistant professor Of chemistry at
the Colorado School of Mines, who
delivered an interesting and in
structive address on the subject of
ore testing. The schools expert
mental plant is prepared to test
ore of any kind, and to make
test of any kind required. They
have machinery of all kinds in
their mill, and several sizes of
each kind, from full working
size down to vest-pocket edition.
1t is the best equipped plant in
the United States, and the insti-
tuition will now make every effort
to encourage and assist mining as
the state agricultural college as
sists the farmer.
In Leadville $4,000 was ex-
pended in an experimental plant
for testing ore. This sum could
practically all have been saved by
using the state testing plant at
Golden. A miner or prospector
can go to the plant and test his
own ore if he wishes, and ask for
any and all kinds of information.
He need pay only small sum
for the power he uses. The cost
doesn't exceed 10 percent Of what
it would elsewhere.
Mr.. Balair announced that 500
lbs. of typical Clear Creek ore
would be sent to the schools mill
for testing purposes. The object
is to get cheaper methods for
handling low grade ores.
MRS. GILBERT TALKS
Mrs. Laura Gilbert, who is in
charge of the publicity work for
the Hot Springs hotel, was invited
to address the association on the
subject of cooperation and VIII at
she said was right to the point
and should bear good results. Mrs.
Gilbert is enthused over the possi-
bilites of the association. Mrs. Gill
bert said the war had already done
more than 100 years Of stupendous
effort to bring about cooperation
of the nations people. Every
parent-every child-knows how
to cooperate in food conservation
the necessity for it.
Mrs. Gilbert spoke of the adj
vertising results of the Hot Springs
hotel. In 1915 they served 1000
guests; in 1916, 1900; in 1917
there will be over 5000. Many

Although still unconscious. hopes
are held for the recovery OF Louis
Lane Of the 32nd Infantry who was
seriously injured in a motorcycle &C

'Semi-unconscious" is the report
that comes from the department hos
pital at Fort Shafter regarding the
condition of Lane. This was the same
condition he was in when given first
attention by DR.. r. G. Aver at the
Emergecy hospital shortly after the
accident last night.
Lane and his companion, who ex.
PRED at 8 o'clock, were taken to the
army hospital after they had been at
the Emergency hospital for about an
hour.
As Sergt Dennison had a fracture of
the skull, little hope was held for his
recovery after the first examination.
Besides other injuries, possibly in
