Mining Company, $16,5O0, monthly.
The current price of potash Is $500
to 1915 per ton of 1000 pounds. 1t is
alleged by chemists and metallurgists
who have tested the Cripple Creek
ores that the phonolites of such mine
as the Portland, Vindicator, Ajax and
Granite yield an average of per cent
potash, or 120 pounds to the ton. With
a process that will save the potash,
this means Is to 1877 cents per pound
for potash, or from SIS to $22.44 for
the potash in a ton of Cripple Creek
material. In mines like the proper
ties named this might easily balance
the overhead charges.

A few days before the conservation Mr.. Everett
sent to the president newspaper containing his
speech in full-two whole pages. The president,
speaking Of this act to a friend, said:

Owing to the presence of thousands Of visitors
parents of the dead who were to be reburied
there, crippled soldiers, sightseers officials from
various states-the president and his party spent
the night before the conservation at the Wills
home 1t was crystal clear night. From the
business section of the village rose the music Of
many bands that had come to take part in the
ceremonies. Crowds of serenaders and glee clubs
went from house to house, where there were nota-
bles, demanding speeches. Mr.. Lincoln responded
to a call, but declined to make a speech, saying
