levels, called the 500, were started
on both sides of the main raise on

Mines Need More Men

The mines around Idaho Springs
are still working under difficulty,
on account of the shortage of men.
In spite of the fact that number
Of men have been added to the
working forces within the past two
weeks, there is still a marked
shortage.
According to G. b Lamb, who
was in the Siftings-News Office this
week, the Gem mines, in which he
is vitally interested, can easily use
a dozen more men at the present
time. They have employed a num-
Der of men recently, but the num-
Der is not sufficient for the enor-
nous amount Of work at the Gem
mines. They need a number of
timbermen, machine men. muckers,
single jack men, and in fact men
in most any department.

Proper Place to Build
Road Says Br0Wnlee

Tho not very well attended, the
meeting of the Bureau of Mines
and Commerce Monday night, was
exceptionally mt re ing, and
some important business was dis
posed of.
U. S. Forest Surveyor Brownlee
is in the city for the purpose Of
surveying the Chicago creek road,
connecting with the Mt. Evans
highway, and the bureau body vot-
ed to bear the expense of sending
man to assist with the work. G..
X. Kimball will also assist. The
United States forest service sur
veyor will locate the roads, and it
will then be up to Idaho Springs
and Clear Greek county to see that
the road is built. When the for
est service men were taken over
this route by Idaho Springs men
several weeks ago, they were great
ly enthused, and thought that it
a beautiful route, and the proper
place to build the road.
Another important step taken
by the bureau last night was the
arrangement for the dance and en-
tertainment for election night,
Nov. 2. An executive committee
was appointed. having full power
to make all arrangements. They
will arrange with the Western
Union to furnish election returns
all evening. and a general good
time will be provided The com
mittee appointed is composed Of
w. e. Pasmore, Ed. Schoellkoff,
Vern G. Earll, and Mesdames
Sprague Stewart. Ella Roy, Wave

ston.

ALL ATTENDANCE
RECORDS BROKEN
Fall Semester Opened Today
More Than 500 Applicants;
Idaho Springs Is Very Much
Interested in School of Mines.

All attendance records at the
Colorado School OF Mines at Col
den have been surpassed by the
number of students already entered
for the fall semester, which opened
today. The number of applicants
exceeds 500, while the normal ca
pacity of the college buildings,
including the one now occupied by
the federal bureau of mines, is
rated at 400.
To provide for the increased
attendance, with it's rooming and
boarding problem, the management
has leased the state armory and
will furnish the same to provide a
large dining room and sleeping
places for number of men.
The attendance of foreigners is
exceptionally large, over fifty being
registered from countries beyond
the dominion of the flag. No ed
ucational institution has SO large
an attendance of foreigners as the
Colorado School of Mines.
The hundreds of students who
will come to Idaho Springs to use
the mines on account of the ac-
feasibility to Golden, will be the
source of much material good for
this town, and several small mines
or one big one is required for the
school work.
For several years the School Of
Mines has been using the Stanley
mine and adjacent properties for
teaching mine surveying. With
the exception of the Stanley, these
mines are gradually caving and if
the school wishes to use them in
the future it will be necessary to
keep them in repair. Any mining
operations are dangerous enough
without increasing the risks in
abandoned properties, and no mine
that is working cares to have any
body around. Add to this the fact
that the school is using the Stan
ley under sufferance and may be
deprived Of it at any time the
mine is being worked.
This summer attention was
called to the Miami or Wilcox
tunnel and the Edgar mine of the

Part or nearly all of the labor OF
getting the property in shape can

The surface ground above the
town, in front and above the tun-
mel, is well suited for mineral land
surveying problems. There are
several patented claims in the area
for conflicts and numerous govern
ment triangulation stations. If it
is advisable, it would be an easy
matter to get an act thru congress
giving all this ground not already
patented for school purposes. In
regard to the patented ground, per-
mission has been obtained to
make full use of it from practically
all the owners in the vicinity.
In time camp could be estab-
lished on the ground with city
water and sewer connection. This
would tend to lower the expense Of
students. Material for the camp
could be procured in great part
from abandoned houses on which
the taxes are not paid, and at pres
ent being held by the county.
Idaho Springs and Clear Creek
county stand ready to cooperate
in every way with the School of
Mines and will give all possible
help.
