Of copper ore, 60 feet across without
walls. Four feet of it was solid high

ing than the Anaconda made at that
depth, and seems to prove the contin-
uity Of the copper belt, other striking
proofs Of which are seen at the Good
Hope, Headlight and similar proper
ties OF the district. ]. G. Steiner, who
is superintendent Of the mine, states
that the first Of February he expects
to put on force at the Copper King
and begin a really big development
campaign to determine the extent Of
the zone of disseminated copper.
The country rock Of the entire
Spencer-Vulcan district is schist, and
the copper seems very widely dis
tributed. The zones of richer dissem.
ination, that it will pay to work are
of course to be determined in the fu-
ture, but according to the best engin-
eers who have investigated this dis
trict in the last year, there is little
doubt, now but that Cunnison county
will develop . tremendous copper dis
trict, one that will compare favorably
with the Utah and Arizona coppers.

The editor of the News Champion
had an opportunity Tuesday of seeing
at the Anaconda near Spencer what
gives every evidence Of being the
makings Of a big copper mine. Three
Louis Neale, and Reiss Bros. were
opening this prospect and it looked
SO good at grass roots, there was lots
of talk about 1t; more than there has
been Of late, perhaps because the
steady stream Of ore down the nine
mile-hill has become such common
occurrence. However, the Anaconda
has passed the good prospect stage
and while not yet possessing all the
qualifications Of depth and develop
ment to call it proven paying mine
it is rapidly approaching that condi-
ton.
The original owners not only found
very remarkable copper ore at the sur
face, but followed It down to 80 feet,
making the property pay all expenses
Of sinking. Indeed the shaft went
down in almost solid shipping copper
ore. In the fall Of 1916 the Anaconda
was taken over by the Colorado Cop
per Mining and Milling Company of
which the officers are J. G. Steiner of
Denver, president; e. w. Keith of the
Empire Zinc Co., consulting engineer;
H. ]. Steiner, treas. and C. F. Con-
signy, sec. Mr.. Zeigler is still a be-
lever in and stockholder of the COM
pany. The new owners pursued the
same policy Of careful and systematic
development, and have continued the
very unusual record Of doing develop
ment work along the vein and paying
all expenses from the shipped ore.
The result has justified their most
sanguine expectations. Today the An
aconda has q double compartment
shaft 200 feet deep, drifts on the four
levels aggregating 600 feet and all
in shipping ore.
Very little stoping has been done,
and the ore blocked out between lev
els constitutes considerable and i'm
mediately available reserve. The ore
shoot has steadily widened with depth
and the oxidized and native copper
Of the surface changed into fine
looking sulphide ct water level which
came in af 80 feet. In the new drifts

On Monday, January Sth, the Coun-
ty Commissioners met to appoint the
county officers and to discuss other
official business and wind up the
year 1917.
Messrs. Whalen, Miller and McDon-
aid were all present for two days and
worked steadily at the accumulated
grist of county business, much Of
which was detail matter. such as al
lowing bills, approving official reports,
etc. 1t has been a year Of close fig
uring on account of the soaring price
of supplies needed in county business,
increased wages for roadmen, etc, but
1917 closes with all funds cash and the
county in very fair shape financially
A new proposition has come up con-
cerning the refunding Of $252 900
county Indebtedness. The bond deal
ers, keelor Bros. of Denver, We're pres
ent and the discussion waxed long and
furious. 1t seems that $50, 900 of the
indebtedness has been refunded at
the agreed price of per cent, but the
breaking market on all bonds outside
of government Liberty loans has
played hob with the situation and
Keelor Bros, as fiscal agents, alleged
that it was outside the bounds of pos
abilities to place the remaining $lO2,-
900 at that figure. Government four
per cents are equivalent in value TO
between six and seven per cents of
other issues. Details Of the situation
are still in allegiance.
Keelor Bros. also wanted to buy the
tax sale certificates on the Colorado
Yule Company property, amounting
to over $4,000. They offered t26,-

business trip over Tuesday. Mr.. Ehl-

perty who arrived recently from Gin
cinnati has been out at Spencer for
several days and things are in shape
to begin work of sinking in few
days.

Black Clay Bought
For Coal by Many

sh.-Pittsburghers in the
past two weeks have proved not only
that they are foolish. but that they
love their folly. They are buying
black clay as coal, and are making
it desperately hard for those who
are attempting to prevent this par
ticular kind of victimization.
Because of this r. w. Gardner,
production manager for the fuel
administration in the Pittsburgh dis
trict, has redoubled the precautions
against the sale and delivery of
dirty" coal. and is imposing in
creasingly severe penalties upon
those who are making the sales.
Some of the worst examples of un-
clean coal was brought into the pro-
duction managers office by mem bers
of the inspection force. 1t was a
combination of slate and mud, so
soggy that it could not conceivably
burn, and so unlike coal even in ap-
pearance that deception would seem
impossible. Yet the cola was being
purchased before the inspectors
swooped down upon it and ordered
the operator to cease delivery on the
pain of closure.

Frank Hall Urges
Cleaner Coal For State

Deputy Chief Frank Hall, Of the
Department of Mines. attended
meeting of the anthracite region IN,
spectors in Sunbury yesterday ana
discussed the very important suhject
of clean coal. The Department or
Mines has been cooperating with the
Federal Fuel Administrators in an et :
fort to provide cleaner and better coal
for the great army of householders In
the eastern section OF the country
who depend principally upon coal from
the anthracite region.
All the inspectors of the region
were present, and were unanimous IN
stating that conditions had improved
to a notable extent. In fact, from
many of the collieries the coal pre-
pared and sent TO market is stated TO
be of as high grade as the coal
shipped previous to the war. The in
spectors are keeping in close touch
with the situation and il is the opin-
ion of department officials that the
people of the country may feel assur-
ed that there will be no coal imposed
upon them this winter such as they
were obliged TO purchase last winter.
If it does come. it should be reported
at once.
At the close of the business session,
by unanimous vote the inspectors en-
dorsed the present chief of the depart
ment, Seward E. Button. for reap
pointment. The resolution contained
many complimentary remarks as TO
the fitness of Mr.. Button for the posi-
tion and as to his success thus far in
the administration of the depart
ment.

cause of the spread of influenza. Ma

NAUGHTY WIFE

After Hubby Fixes Things For
Marriage to Other Man
She Refuses

! When your wife plans to elope

! for her happiness and then in all

that she won't even carry out her

Reeva Greenwood very aptly por-
trayed the role of the neglected wife
who wanted to elope but found her
husband thought the most of her af-
ter all; Frederick Sumner, as her hus-
band, learned the lesson that it
doesn't pay to furnish a wife with
pretty clothes and fineries, but that
she also wants some affectionate re-
sponse from her husband and If he
