the voice of the living artist and it's RE-
CREATION by the New Edison. The
musically cultured of Scotland were in
vited to pass judgment. No test could
have been more eXacting.
Mrs. Shank made comparison after
comparison. The Sokolof Trio, which
appeared jointly with Mrs. Shank, also
made tests with their instrumental selec-
tions. The mystified audience tried vain
ly to catch a difference between the orig
inal rendition and it's RECREATION
by the New Edison. No one could tell
one from the other.
It was a triumph whole and complete
for the New Edison.

Those present at the M. E. church last
Saturday night saw Mabelle Wagner
Shank walk onto the stage. They saw
her lips give voice to the opening lines of
Beautiful Ohio. Then suddenly her lips
were still-but the song kept flowing on.
How came this? They we're hearing
Mrs. Shank voice, yet Mrs. Shank was
not singing. The entire audience gasp
ed as it slowly realized that it had been
unable to distinguish between Mrs.
Shank's voice and the RECREATION
Of that voice by the New Edison.
This was the daring test undertaken
last Saturday night at the M. E. church
by Thomas A. Edison. He sought to

FAVOR TARIFF
ON GRAPHITE

A tariff on amorphous graphite is
strongly advocated by the Gunnison
Chamber of Commerce, which took
this action in response to q request
by the citizens of Pitkin, in Gunnison
county, over 100 of whom signed Pc
tition requesting the Colorado repre-
sentation In Congress to vote favor
ably on the bill introduced by Con-
gressman Hefiin, of Alabama, to place
. duty Of one cent per pound on am
orphous graphite ore containing less
than SO per cent, and two cents per
pound ON ores containing over SO per
cent graphite.
It seems the major supply Of the
world in graphite ores comes from
Korea and Mexico. During the war
these supplies were partly shut of
and as patriotic measure in part,
much capital was spent in this coun-
try to develop graphite mines. The
resumption Of trade relations threat
ems this industry, and Pitkin will
suffer unless the Ethiopian
and other mines can be kept going.
The resolution of the Chamber Of
Commerce is being completed by
Secretary Martin and forwarded to
the congressman as requested.

OIL COMPANY
READY TO DRILL

The Gunnison A Oil Company
now has the timbers on the ground ct
Ca-tleton, ready to constFuct the 50
foot derrick for co1nmeneement II %
eratiens in drilling for oil On IL Dol-
lard ranch dxteen milea noFth of
town. Dnlling machinerY, eabls, etc.
for $500 foof well, has also been pur-
chased. On Monday Of this week G.
A. Roy Of Wichita, Kansas, who has
formerly been associated with other
directors Of the company IN oil wells
at Douglas, Kansas, arrived and liked
the situation 30 well that he purchased
an interest in the company and will
give 1t his personal attention.
The A Company owns . lease Of
5000 acres of decided land surround
ing the dome which indicates oil,
near Castleton, and judging by re-
ports of geologists, the coal forma-
tions in the vicinity, and the fact that
oil is actually found on the surface in
places, has a good chance of finding
paying quantities of commercial oil
at reasonable depth. The men who
have formed the company have put up
their own money for the leases, and
all preliminary supplies. They now
ask the public to assist them in de-
m0nstrating for q certainty whether
Gunnison county has a real oil future.
More complete details of the stock
offering are found on page four of the
News Champion, which all those in
tercsted should read carefully.
The company now has fine office
rooms on Main street, where they
welcome investigation.
Other oil companies are being form
ed and the boom in placer locations
Of government land on both sides of
Ohio Creek, and in the East River
and Antelope valleys, continues. Pret-
ty soon it will spread over the hill
to the head Of the North Fork, and
most Of the big country under the coal
banks there is also in Gunnison county.
II will certainly be q wonderful
thing il we can prove up the deposits
Of petroleum, which the best informed
expect lie somewhere in our valley.
It was tried in 1903, but 400 feet Of
depth reached satisfied no one. Some
bores now put down to three or four
thousand feet will either show that
we are nursing q de1usion or prove

The sale was well attended, especi-
ally by Denver capitalists, stockhold-
ers from Pennsylvania, New York and
Vermont. Indeed no such bunch Of
millionaries was ever seen in town be-
fore. Undersherif Lehan read the

SAWTOOTH co.
STRIKES vein

AT about 9OO feet, with q depth OF
nearly 500 feet from the surface, the
Sawtooth Gold Mining and Develop
ment company has just opened . vein
of quartz that makes the prospects of
that company look good to say the
least. For several years the Pueblo
gentlemen interested in this mine have
quietly visited our city, and paying
cash for Ill supplies and making no
big talk, gone efficiently to work to
demonstrate their faith in their prop
erty and il now looks % il they would
realize ON their investment. Mr..
johnson, who has managed the work
ON the property, wears "the smile
that won't come off," The "pay As
you go" basis has always appealed to
rs as the only solution to put Gunni-
son county back into the respect and
confidence Of the public, and the
Saw Tooth is demonstrating that it
can be done and we wish them all sue
cess. We hope they will be repaid
ten fold for the thousands they have
spent each summer in our community.
We are told that 130 stockholders
live in Pueblo, and number. many Of
the best and<most representative citi-
zens Of the Pittsburg Of the West.
The vein struck is penetrated only
two feet, but exhibits strong mineral
ization, probably in silver, since the
assays from surface working ran $50
to $40 in silver. It is along the trend
of the old Midland vein and the ore
much resembles it. Over 800 feet Of
