The Michigan Dairy Show will be
held in the armory on March 6, 7 and
8. All told there will be nine distinct
organizations connected with Michi-
gan dairying, that will hold their an
nual or quarterly meetings on these
three days. The general management
of the event is in the hands of the
Michigan Dairyman IS Association, the
parent organization from which the
various branch organizations of but
termakers, ice cream manufacturers,
market milk producers, ETC., have
sprung.
On the afternoon Of the first day,
March 6, meeting of the Michigan
Milk Producers Association will be
held, at which addresses will be de-
livered by Pres. N. p. Hull, Field
Agent r. C. Reed, General Manager
w. f. Skinner, of the National Dairy
Council, and others. 1t was at first
planned to have the address of Prof.
A. C. Anderson, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, delivered during this
session, but owing to another import
ant engagement, Prof. Anderson
states that he will be liable to deliver
his address until the evening of
Thursday, March s.
This address will be the browning
feature Of the entire convention. For
the past two years Prof. Anderson
and his assistants at the college have
been engaged in gathering statistics
on the cost of producing milk on
Michigan farms. This material has
now been arranged in the form of
large colored charts which show every
item entering into the cost of produc-
ing market milk. The facts brought
out by this investigation and thus
demonstrated in an easily understood
and authoritative manner, are of i'm
mense interest to every dairyman-re-
CARELESS of the form in which his pro-
duct is marketed.
Other organizations meeting during
the three days of the convention are:
Creamery owners and Managers, But
termakers, Ice Cream Manufacturers,
Market Milk Dealers, Milk and Dairy
Inspectors, Poultry, Butter and Egg
Shippers, and Pontiac East-Michigan
Holstein-Friesian Association.
A copy Of the general program CIV
ing list Of prizes offered for cheese,
creamery and dairy butter will be
mailed on receipt of request to Secre-
tary Geo. H. Brownell, 142 Lafayette
Boulevard, Detroit.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE

ERNEST LIE NEvE FOSTER,
Denver, Colo.



Denver, Colo.
June 25. 1917
MIR. A. ]. CONWAY,
l have been acquainted with the
mines upon Republican Mountain,
above Silver Plume, Clear Creek
County, Colorado. since January. 1872.
having operated mines there from that
time to the present, living at the foot
of it many years. as we'll as at George
town. l thus have personal and in
innate knowledge of the output. as
we'll as the discovery of many of the
mines.
The ores which have been extracted
from this mountain have been of an
unusually high grade in silver. Many
tons exceeding one thousand ounces
silver per ton have passed through my
hands. 1t is true that rich ores have
also been taken from the adjacent
mountains, but there are none which
have record OF as high a general
average from q like area.
In addition to mining did a great
deal of assaying in the early seven
ties. as well as purchased ores for
shipment to Europe. therefore this
statement is made not from hearsay
but from practical experience.
In 1872 the cost Of shipment of ores
to England. including the treatment
charge there, was about ninety dollars
per ton, so that ores of less silver con-
tent than one hundred ounces per ton,
could not be shipped; amalgamating
and chlorination mills at Georgetown
at that time treated some of the less
rich ores, but l think it is safe to say
nothing less than fifty ounce ore was
saved, everything else being thrown
into the dumps.
l make these statements with the
endeavor to- state correctly as far as
human imperfections of memory about
observations and experience of be-
tween forty and fifty years ago permit.
and the natural proneness to exagger-
alton which time so frequently devel-
ops, in regard to happenings of the
past, and believe that what have said
Is fair and not overestimated.
Yours very truly.

MINES AND COMMERCE.
MIR. A. CONWAY,
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for infor-
nation regarding Silver Plume Dis
trict as a producer of Silver Ore,
would say, this camp is known as one
of the richest Silver producers in this
country, and is particularly famous
for the richness Of its ore and extent
of its ore deposits, which seem almost
inexhaustible, as some of the earliest
producing mines of this district are
still among the largest shippers of
high grade ore
The shipments from the before
mentioned district is onw averaging
over $4,000 per ton. which is probably
the highest average for Silver and
Lead ore of any mining camp in the
country, which is also one of the
largest producers.
Another favorable condition of this
district is the absolute lack of failure,
every mine so far as my knowledge
extends, having an exceptional sue
cess, large number who started in a
small way have produced millions al
ready. The richest and largest pro-
ducers being located on the Republi-
can. Sherman and Democratic noun
tains.
Present developments indicate that
Silver Plume will soon be the greatest
lead, xinc and silver camp in the eoun-
try.
/ believe the Silver Plume Consoli-
dated Mining Company's properties
are ideally located and great possibili-
ties are ahead of them.

cation of your Lone Wolf claim on
Republican Mountain, which am re-
liably informed Is one of the richest
mountains in silver. lead and zinc de-
posits in America. The very high
grade ore that comes from this district
and the worry important fact that there
have been no mine failures Of proper
ties opened in the silver Plume Dis

to invest all the money l possibly

he dcpIorcd the sort of education
that deals merely with memorizing
