Rich Strike Made
In Bellman Mine

w. r. Haughton and associates,
who have been working the Bell
man mine, located near the Gem.
in Gibson gulch, have opened a
streak of solid lead ore two feet
wide in the third level at dis
aance of So feet west of the shaft.
The ore is of the same character
as that taken from the first level
10 feet above, which was worth
from $50 to 5000 per ton.
For the past year Mr.. Haughton
has been quietly developing this
property and has had great con-
tidence in the outcome, basing his
belief on the similarity of his vein
to other big producers of the
county. There is 10 feet of
virgin ground above this level and
if this body of ore extends to the
upper level, and every indicatian
goes to prove that it does, they
have opened one of the best bodies
of ore ever found in this end of
the county.

Tracks OF Mountain
Lion Seen In The CITY

1t has been a long long time
since the tracks of mountain lion
have been seen in this city, but
such could have been seen by any
one around Dave Williams livery
barn the first of the week, where a
track was exhibited that measured
SIX inches across. proving that the
animal that made it was big one.
1t might be well to state that the
track was first discovered by Road
Overseer Cannady while working
on he Chicago creek road last
week. The track was made in the
wet snow, which was frozen that
night, and the next day Cannady
carefully cut out big block of
frozen snow and brought it to
town, and as it is not the policy
of the great and truthful Siftings
to mislead its thousands of readers
we make the explanation as to how
the track could be seen in town.

Chappell Takes Over
His Standard Mine

The Standard mine on Fall river
was closed down on the first of the
year. This property has been
worked for the past year by Henry
and Phillips Merry under lease
and bond which expired on the
first of the month ana being un-
able to secure an extension they
were obliged to suspend operations.
Since taking hold Of this mine the
Merry Brothers have expended
thousands of dollars in develop
ment and have put the property,
both mine and mill, in splendid
working shape. and have taken out
considerable ore but the greater
part OF the work has been in the
development of the mine. During
their residence here these gentle
men have, by their honest, efficient
and business like methods made
and retained many friends among
the miners and merchants of this
city.
The Siftings understands that
work will be continued at the mine
by w. r. Chappell, the owner of

year but has been closed down for
repairs and for the installation of
new equipment, all of which is
now completed at the cost of several
thousand dollars, and the mill now
has a capacity of 12o tons pei
twenty four hours. In addition to
other new and modern machinery
a new Dorr fotation machine has
been installed and is proving to be
the greatest improvementin this
line that has yet been introduced
The largest tonnage of the year is
now being received at the mill, and
Manager Roller expects heavy
tonnage during the entire new
year.
Aside from the above mentioned
concerns, there are the Matte.
jackson, Combination, Idaho Bride
and the big Argo mills from which
we have no available data. These
mills are in good running order
and have been in operation most
of the time during the year, the
Argo especially having been in
continuous operation.
The prospects for the mining
industry for the coming year are
brighter and better than they have
been for a decade. The steady in.
crease in the price of silver, lead.
copper and zinc has caused more
inquiries to be made regarding
mines than have been heard for
years. Old mines are being started
up, surplus capital is seeking in
vestment and at this time and un-
der the existing conditions of the
world in general, silver mines rank
among the safest investment that
can be made.
Let us hope that the year 1917
will be the banner year of pros
perity Throughout the entire United
States and particularly in our
glorious Centennial State of
Colorado.

Jacks Exhaust Pound
masters Treasury

Disguised with the way live
stock has been allowed to run at
large on the city streets with no
attention from the owners. Alder
man Moscript took it upon him
self to become poundmaster for
his section of the city. and ac-
cordingly locked stray animals in
one of his corrals. A fee for their
release was charged until 81 was
accumulated in the treasury and
all went well until two diminutive
jacks were corralled for which no
owner could be found. They had
keen appetites, accentuated, no
doubt, by their slender feeding
while at liberty, and it was not
long-only Is days-until they
had devoured $40 worth of aristo-
cratic eats, leaving the pound
masters treasury Sc in the red.
To prevent further deficits he lib
Grated the animals and they con-
tinue to roam from street to
street battling the rigors of winter
and finding only here and there a
bite of feed. The city reimbursed
Mr.. Moscript for his deficit.
The humane officers should give
such matters their attention. The
owners should be made to feed
their stock or the poor brutes put
out of their misery.

Production Increases
But No Record Breaker

The year just closed was not a
record breaker in the matter of
ore production in this county, but
it is very satisfactory to know that
the value of the mineral output for
the year exceeded that of 1915
While there have been large bodies
of good ore uncovered in several
different mines in the county, there
has been nothing out of the ordi-
nary. The Gem, Franklin, French
Flag, Lake, Specie Payment, Cal
win, Edgar, New Era, Lamartine,
Little Matte, Black Eagle and
Humboldt have been the principal
producers in this end of the county.
while numerous smaller properties
have added to the output very
materially. The Yukod group,
Anchor, Meteor and others in the
Alice district, and the Albro, Syn
dicate and Senator in the Dumont
district, have all contributed
their portion to the total tonnage.
Manager w. E. Passmore of the
Chamberlain Ore company, re-
ports that total of 400 tons of
smelling ore, valued at the average
of S32 per ton, was handled by his
company during the year. This
report shows slight decrease from
the production of the preceding
year. but the increase III the value
of the ore more then makes up the
loss in tonnage. The closing quo
tation for silver last year was 90
cents per ounce; this year it is 70
cents. Copper last year was - cents
per pound and this year 80, diff
erence of 13 cents per pound.
Lead closed last year at S. 40 and
it is now $50 per hundred.
The exact figures of the amount
of business done by the New Era
mine and mill at Freeland are not
available at this time. but W. l..
Shaffer, consulting engineer of that
property, gives out as conserva-
tive estimate that the mine pro-
duced $4,000 tons of crude ore
during the ten consecutive months
that it was in operation this year.
From this amount of crude ore
there was obtained 1900 tons of
concentrates, of an average value
of $50 per ton, making a gross of
$4,000.
The Newton mills treated. dur
ing the year, 1900 tons of ore.
from which was turned out a fin
ished product amounting to 1850
tons, valued at $50 per ton. The
major portion of this ore was furn-
ished by the Gem mine, altho
several thousand tons were treated
from other mines in the district.
With the exception of about two
months last summer, this mill has
been running to its full capacity
during the entire year.
At the Hudson mill 1892 tons
were handled, which returned 400
tons of concentrates valued at S33
per ton. This mill has not been
in continuous operation during the

 during these trying times It will be just a half a century ago tomorrow
 that confederation became an accom-
 plished fact and another great nation was born into the British Empire and into the world. The original Domin- ion, consisting of Ontario, Quebec. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, was
 the creation of boundless faith, the
 wisest statesmanship and a deep de- part of the fathers" The first gov ernment, headed by Sir John A. Mac
 donald as Premier and Minister of
 Justice, was representative of all par, ties, peoples and sections of the country The cabinet was composed principally of those who had worked we'll and faithfully for the success | of the confederation project, but 1t by
 no means included all of them. Dr. lS1ldIiGS r1uppcIi dIlo 4I Al " AsAS0SS were names conspicuous by their ab- sence from the list, but those two statesmen, who had naturally been among the first to be mentioned for places in the cabinet, had voluntarily withdrawn their names, in order that ! the new government might include proper representation from all the l Provinces. This self sacrifice on the part of these two men at the same time enabled the new cabinet to give i due consideration to the claims of Ithe French Catholics, the Irish cleo torate and the Protestafts of the Eas- tern Townships of Quebec. Except
 for this spirit of self sacrifice, which I was shown by the leading men
 throughout the country. the new con-
 federation might have been a source
 of discord and partisan hatred be-
 fore it was fairly launched. After
