Prof w. l. Baker Has
Very Narrow Escape

While motoring down Lookout
mountain last Saturday on his
way to Golden to visit his brother,
Al. Baker, P1ef. W. L. Baker, sup
.erintendent OF the Idaho Springs
schools met with an auto accident
which might have cost him his
life. Some part of the steering
gear of his car broke, causing him
to lose control of the car. The
front wheels commenced to wobble
and it was impossible to keep the
car in the road. In an instant the
car struck the mountain side and
turned partly over, throwing Prof.
Baker out and rendering him un-
conscious. He suffered several
cuts and bruises ON his head, an
injured shoulder and some con-
cussion of the lungs, but no bones
were broken.
Just how long Prof. Baker lay
before he was picked up by a
passer-by is not known. He was
taken to Golden, where DR.. Pack.
ard attended him, and came home
early this week, where he is re-
covering nicely and will soon be
all right.
The Windshield of the car was
broken, the front axle bent and
other damage was done. The cal
was taken to Golden.
Had the front wfoelg taken an
opposite course the car would
have plunged over a precipice and
the accident would undoubtedly
have proved fatal.

Upper Clear Creek
Gains 100 Percent

In the compilation of the min
ing industry for 1917, it is en-
couraging to note an increase OF
nearly 100 per cent for upper
Clear Creek over 1916.
Manager P. P. Graham of the
Chamberlain Ore Co. reports hav-
ing purchased IL, 100 tons of ore of
an average value of $50 per ton.
This would give a total value ct
the silver, gold, copper, zinc and
lead purchased as $4,000. To
this must be added shipments
made direct to the smelters in
Denver and Salida, and to the
concentrating mills at Id a h o
Springs, which will give the upper
districts a production far in ex-
cess of any single year of the past
ten.
Exploratory and development
work carried on during 1917 in
mines that have been idle for
many years is bound to add
materially in production for the
year 1918.
The figures given above are the
best evidence of activity during the
past year, and should be an in
centive for a much greater effort
during the year just starting
when the whole county should re-
[sume.its xonted place among the
producers of the state.
Many new enterprises are being
discussed, and a number of mines
now idle are expected to become
active producers with the resump-
ton of operations, probably the
most notable being the Empire
and Rochester tunnels at Empire.

More Sheep, Fewer Dogs.

M. V. Carroll of Sedalia. writes
the St. Louis Republic, urging the
passage of laws which would rid the
State of its useless dogs and permit
the sheep industry to again be rev
lived in Missouri. There is today a
great and increasing shortage of
wool because of demand for army
and navy use, and in just a short
time comparatively, it will be diff
ficult to get wool clothing for civil
ian use. The decline in sheep grow
ing III Missouri is directly attribut-
able to the lack of laws regulating
dogs, which threaten the extinction
of every flock of sheep in the state.
Our legislators should encourage the
ra Using of more sheep and fewer
dogs.
