The Juniors gave very interest.
ing program last Friday in the form
of commencement exercises. Every
number was very original and well
delivered.

given Friday, March 23, 1917. We
would like to see more parents and
friends present. The program will
begin at 2:05. Don't forget the time,
date and place.
Last Saturday evening the Seniors
were entertained at a st. Patrick's
party at the home Of Professor and
Mrs. Jessup. The house was taste
fully decorated in green and white
and all that goes with St. Patrick's
day. A fine program was carried in
the best way possible. Prizes were
given for the different games. Among
the rrizes was a real potato which
as all know, was well worth winning
as potatoes are almost worth their
weight in gold.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed and all had a very delightful time.
The tasket tall teams will go to
Arvada to play the Arvada high
school teams, Friday, March %.

r. H. Sayre was an arrival home
yesterday from Florida where he and
the family had been spending the
winter. Mr.. Sayre found his home
uron returning in anything but an
inviting condition. He had the wat
er pipes thawed out by electricity
last week and after the water was
turned on, one of the pipes upstairs
bursted and the water flooded the up
stairs floors and the ceiling and
floars downstairs. The house looked
like a place in France that had been
visited by the destructive Germans.

THOMAS LEASE IN POWERS

Thomas ard company are settling
this week with the sampler for anoth-
er gocd-sized shipment of fire ore.
Ten tens of first class netted $3.50
a ton and close to IL tons of second
class netted $40 ton. The ore in
the Powers does not run muth in
gold, but the exceptionally high cop
per values is what brings the money.
The first class in the lot settled for
this week went 21T in copper and
81 ozs. in silver; the second class
5.159o copper and 81 ozs. silver.
The ore was taken out CT the bot
tom level en- the west side Of the
shaft, where they are drifting and
stopping on a streak that varies in
width from six inches to two feet.
There are three men working in the
lease and every three weeks. after
paying all expenses, they divide
$500.

uNwATERiNe MINES

II is quite generally supposed that
the big pumping plant now at work
on the Down Town mines at Lead
willie, Colorado, says the Mining Rec.
crd Of Denver. has the greatest cap.
aotty Of any unwatering outfit in the
United States. This supposition woul
seem reasonable when it is known
that the Leadville pumps have raised
as much as $500 gallons OF water
per minute. This notable feat has
been exceeded, however, and is being
exceeded by the pumping plant OF
the Old Dominion copper hine in the
Globe district Of Arizona. The flow
ii water in that property is Of tre'
mendous volume. necessitating pump
ing plants on the 1900, 1.4OO and l ;.
6O0-foot levels. One of these plants
alone has the stupendous capacity OF
5000 900 gallons daily, or 5.555 gal
Ions per minute, thus exceeding the
amount of water handled by the
Down Town pumps to the extent OF
more than a thousand gallons a min
ute.
The Old Dominion mine, in spite
Of being Handicapped by SO much
water. has been a dividend payer
since 1898 and is now producing its
10000 pounds Of copper per month.

DOODLE CONCENTRATION
MAKING GOOD PRODUCT

Holly Dobtirs, who is managing
the Doodle mine at the head of Eur
eka street for the Submarine M. M.
& l.. Co., composed of Lincoln. Neb.,
Teocle, has evolved a system of re-
dacing the zinc-lead ores of the mine
which will place the proposition in
the profit-produting class. He has
constructed jigging plant at the
foot Of the dump and is running
Through all the fire material that
does not require crushing and is max.
ing a fine product. The equipment
CT the plant is simple, consisting of
just the jig and card table, the two
being run by a gasoline engine.
The coarse product made in jig
gipg runs 400 in lead and the lead
concentrates saved by the Card table
run 45%o. The Card table makes a
double separation en- the zinc con-
tent in the ore, the first class of
which runs $3.50 and the second class
15%. The zinc concentrates are ship.
ped to the American Zinc Ore Sep
arating Co., in Denver where a pro-
duct of better than 40% is made.
Eighteen tons Of ore are being put
through the Jig at present but with
additional tanks for water the plant
can handle 40 tons day. 1t is the
intention of the comrany to put in
a crusher and rolls and be prepared
to handle all the concentrating ma
terial of the mine. At present the
coarse milling ore is sent to Idaho
Springs. The dump will also be run
when this new equipment is added.
The Doodle mine is locking unus-
ually good. In the 10O-fcot level there
is schd streak from to 10 inches
in width that runs $50 in lead ard
This same streak is also being brok-
en- in storing in the 200foot level.
Beside this smelling ore there are
coed bodies Of concentrating ore.
With the .concentrator foc handling
the low-grade ore, good bodies OF
solid smelling ore, and considering
ahe high price that lead is now bring
ing, the Bcodle must prove winner.

DID GERMANY START THE
RUSSIAN FOOD RIOTS?

What has happened in Russia in
ahe rast week is distinct bull ar
sument on the general future of the
security market.
With the dissatisfaction which ex-
listed amcng the people with the bu-
reauoratic control and the cross pair
poses at which popular representa-
tives were working with imperial ap-
pointees, the worst thing that could
have happened from the standpoint
OF Russian credit was to have had
the fires slumbering until after the
close of the war. In the opinion of
the editor, who was in Russia for
some time before the war, the ex-
plosion which would have taken plac
then would undoubtedly be worse
than anything the present situation
is likely to produce.
The mcst important officials of the
present dynasty seem to have been
incredibly stupid in failing to recog-
nize that the only way to maintain
their position was to head victorious
armies in the present war. The aver
age Russian is intensely patriotic.
Germans have never been generally
popular in Russia. Besides, once the
Russian fervor is aroused 1t does not
make so muth difference whom he is
nghtng. He wants to win. Pride is
a bigger source of motive power i'm
Russia than in most countries.
II, as has been reported, the Car
has abdioated, the cutlook is fer a
great fused effort on the part of
Russians which can accomplish re-
mari able results.
The natural resources of the coum.
try are such that it requires only
such fuel to produce an industrial
DEVELOPMENT which may set the pace
for speed in modern history That's
why Russian bonds seem like such
good speculation at sacrifice pric-
es
AS regards the form Of government
1t is unfortunate that the Grand Duke
Nicholas. the Cars brother, in his
marital relations has aroused the am
tagopism If the Russian Church.
The country Is not ready for a re-
publican form of government. A cen
s:itutioGal monarchy is the form
which would have the best chance Of
permanence. However, whatever may
result, the bringing to head of a
situation which was obviously destin-
ed for sensational climax is some
thing which in the long run should
prove a stabilizing factor.
The first news comes entirely from
Allied sources and gives no hint that
Germany in her military operation
on the Eastern front may find in the
mix-up and uncertainty a chance for
a big coup. It will be strange IL
Germany does not attempt to turn
the event to her advantage. OF
course, 1t may be that the people who
started the food riots in Russia were
German agents seel ing to create an
atmosI here Of hostility to the contin-
uation of the war. II history should
chccnicle this as a fact, 1t would GER
tainly go numbering down the ages
as the greatest jol e of the great war
