GIVE HENS MASH FEED.

II is the practice Of The most sue

the daily grain ration ground. Most

some feed it dry. A fowls gizzard
is capable Of grinding an kinds ef
grain. but il is considered economic
al to have a part of the grinding done
by steam or water power. The soft
feed idea must not be overworked.
\ beginner often reasons that it is
cheaper for the miller than for the
fowl to grind the grain; but the pow

to be used, and experience has shown
that the balance OF power of func-

Unfair Treatment

According to Railway Admins.
tration figures the mines and oil
wells of the United States fur
nished 55.75 per cent of the ton
mage hauled by the railways. The
material manufactured from ores
and minerals produced from Ari-
erican mines and oil wells fur
nish 25 per cent of the remaining
tonnage. This ratio has existed
in a greater or less degree for
many years. In 1910 the total
combined appropriation for the
Bureau of Mines and the Geolog-
ical Survey was $1,999,s15 and for
the Department of Agriculture
SIT, 100000. In 1919 the combin-
ed appropriations for the Bureau
of Mines and Geological Survey
was $4,533 ,O40 as against $72, 2,000,-
900 for Agriculture. Seventy per
cent of the cost of producing raw
metals and coal is for labor. The
American Mining Congress will
ask congress for encouragement
of mining thru reasonable protec-
tion for essential war metals and
minerals. Bills are already be-
fore congress for protection of
several of these substances.

rank among the metal producing
counties, with an output valued
at $41S, 100000, and Teller county
is second, with $306, 100000. Sill
YER holds first rank in value
among the metals produced in
Lake county, though zinc far sur
passes silver in the value of its
output at this time. Teller coun-
ty holds first place in the value of
it's gold production, more than
99.5 percent of it's metal values

New Grade Up Spring Street

S. A. Rank with County Com
missioners Neil Mckay and R. l.
Hughes surveyed the new route
of the road up Spring street Sat-
urday. The new road will mean
a considerable reduction in grade
from the depot to the head of
Spring street, something the peo-
pie have wanted for years. Ac-
cording to the survey the Morgan
pitch will have to be retained, but
four feet will be cut off the top
and the rest of the road to the
head of the street will be recon-
structed. The grade on the Nor
gan pitch will be reduced to 13
per cent, distance of 200 feet,
and the remainder of the new
road will be uniform grade of 9
per cent. The present grade is
from IL to 10 per cent. The work
will be started next Monday and
will require a month to complete.

GRAND RECEPTION
TO SODIER BOYS

ance of soldiers, sailors, their rel

event was held. 1t was next to
impossible to dance, but that
didn't seem to bother anyone, for
when Mrs. Rose Slattery COM
menced to play the latest jazz
music, everyone was on their feet
and jazzing around, or making a
strenuous effort to go thru the
movements.
Soldier boys to the number of
80 or more were present in uni
form, several having just arrived
from overseas. Others who were
in the training camps and canton
ments when the armistice was
signed, and who since their dis
charge had located outside the
county, made special trip to the
old town to join in the festivities
Any number of friends of the
boys who answered Uncle Sans
call, came from Denver, Neder.
land, Rollinsville and other points
to aid in making the homecoming
event one of unconfined joy.
During the evening the Rec
Cross ladies who were dressed ii
the regulation attire, served cake
and sherbet in the banquet room
and it was a late hour Sunday
morning when the revelers dis
persed.
Among the soldiers from the
outside who went into the service
as registrants from Gilpin county
attending the function were: G

Mr.. and Mrs. Rapin in a Ford
car had been to Pinnacle and on
their return trip at sharp turn
near the Arthur ranch Mr.. Rapin

SUB-STATION OF LIGHT
COMPANY CATCHES FIRE
Lightning Starts a Flame that
Threatens Destruction of Plant.

Lightning set fire to the sub
station of the Gilpin Co. L. H. &
P. Co., at $3.50 Wednesday after
noon and only the quick work of
the fire department is all that saw
ed the structure from complete
loss. Fire Chief Thos. Atkinson
happened to see the flame that en-
veloped the building as soon as
the lightning struck. He was
across the gulch on Lawrence
street and was attracted by a
cracking sound that accompanied
the flash of lightning. Several
hundred dollars damage was done
to meters, wires, tools and fixtures
in the work room in the basement
of the building.
The fire started in the base
ment, which is divided into work
room and stable and was burning
fiercely when the department ar
rived. Two streams of water
were turned on the blaze and in
this way the flames were confined
to the basement and it was not
necessary to turn water into the
room above, where the transform
ers and switchboard are located.
Consequently no damage at all
was done to this equipment. Had
the fire burned 10 minutes longer
the heavy supports under the
switchboard would have burned
away and the switchboard would
have fallen into the basement.
This would have interrupted the
! lighting service for at least "a
hours. AS it was the light and
power system was not damaged
and the house lights were on We'd
nesday evening as though nothing
had happened. Slight damage
was done to the street lighting
equipment, and this service was
not supplied Wednesday evening
Manager w. H. Bloom says the
llSHlillS LHuSI nave SCI uSh ehS
wires entering the building, the
heavy current jumping the light
ming arresters, passing thru the
sheet iron covering the building
and grounding in the basement
causing the fire.
| Had the fire not been checked
and the upper portion of the
building caught fire, it would have
been difficult to prevent the
spreading of the flames to the
managers residence, which is
within a few feet of the sub-sta.
tion.
Manager Bloom, in behalf Of
the company, expresses his appre'
citation and gratitude to the
firemen for their speedy and effic.
lent work, saving the company
much inconvenience and heavy
loss.
