Colorado.

A decided revival of activity is
noted throughout the tungsten dis
tricts.
Many mines that have not worked
for years are preparing to resume
work as soon as weather conditions
permit.
1t is reported that a deal Is on
whereby the Terry estate will turn
over control of the famous Sunnyside
mine at Eureka to parties heavily in
terested in the American Zinc Com
pany.
Reports from Ouray are to the ef-
feet that a good production OF smelt-
ing grade ore will be made this sea-
son from the Calliope group of claims
located in the Paquin district about
three miles from Ouray.
From Silverton, the central point OF
San Juan county, comes report
which states that 1917 will outstrip
the preceding year-'a banner year
in every respect, with the largest pro-
duction in the history OF the camp"
In the Telluride district the Snug
gler, Tomboy and Liberty Bell mines
are the big producers and ship out
from three to five cars Of concen-
trates per day, and all Of them plate
the gold and send bullion to the mint.
A report from Telluride states that
the largest enterprise in mining
way at or near Ophir is the Silver
Bell property, near the Ophir Loop
depot This mine is developed by six
levels and big accompaniment
shaft.
The Golden Anchor Mining Com
pany worked its property in Horse
gulch last summer and only closed
down when forced to do so by the
deep SHOWS. Some very fine copper
gold ore was shipped during the late
summer.

Southern Department, and regained
normal health and spirits.
For three days" Col. Ireland said.
Gen. Funston had been entirely
we'll" Later Col. Ireland issued this
statement: Gen. Funston's death was
caused by angina sclerosis of the ar
teries. Death was almost immediate,
and without pain"
Ever since March, 1916, when he
was placed in command of all United
States forces on the Mexican border,
Gen. Funston had worked at an un-
usual pace. At critical times in bor-
der developments he frequently re-
mained on duty twenty-four hours Of
the twenty-four. The handling of
regulars disposed of at various sta
tions on the border, the Pershing ex-
pedition, and of late rearrangement
of regular troops while providing for
the return of national guardsmen
have entailed an enormous amount or
detail work. probably exceeding that
which fell to any commanding general
of the United States army since the
Civil War.
Only Monday Gen. Funston COM
pleted orders for the return Of the
last of the guardsmen.
The picturesque and dashing cap
ture of Aguinaldo. the Filipino rebel
chief, was the achievement which
brought Funston prominently to the
attention of the American people, but
he performed many services for his
country besides that which were
probably more difficult. His admin
istration of affairs in Vera Cruz,
where he carried out the Presidents s
orders with firm hand, simply hold
ing the city when every influence
about him was centered upon forcing
the American army into actual fight
ing with the Mexicans probably was
the most notable service of his ca
reer.
