TYRONE A DESERTED VILLAGE
"Queen Of the Mining Camps" In New
Mexico, Has Suffered From
Copper Market Slump.

Tyrone, queen Of the mining camps
of New Mexico, built at cost of 49,
100000 and given an artistic atmos-
phere through the Influence Of Mrs.
Cleveland H. Dodge, Is an empty
SHE'LL
A few short months ago ~ hundred
men, women and children worked,
lived and enjoyed life in what prob
ably is the most beautiful mining
camp In the world. Now the Phelps
Dodge corporation copper mines are
closed, there is no ore awaiting ship
ment, no means of livelihood remain
ing. and stores have been closed. in
habltants are leaving, the railroad has
served notice that trains no longer
will run.
Within a short time only dozen
men, guards for the mines and their
expensive machinery. will he left.
Even the Phelps-Dodge corporation
general store has closed and the en-
tire stock has been shipped to
DOukluS.
Tyrone boasts the most beautiful
railroad station In the state, built by
the mining corporation. Homes OF
miners are bungalows not the usual
shanty type of western mining camps
The camp was the pet Of Mrs. Dodge
and largely through her influence a
southern California plan Of building
was carried out.
Closing Of the town. however, Is
considered only temporary measure,
according to company officials, who
point out that the shutdown will con-
tlnue Just as long as the copper mar
ket remains in Its present state Of
stagnatlOn.

New Rain. Making Idea.

To Canadians goes the distinction Of
proposing one Of the strangest uses
ever conceived for an airplane. Win
nipeg men are reported to he organic
ing an aerial irrigation company. The
aim Is to cause rain by spraying
LIQUID mir in the clouds from an air
plane thus causing the moisture to
condense. Recently dust was thrown
from an airplane on the clouds 5000
feet high In an unsuccessful attempt
to cause rain in Pretoria.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY
Latest Floatation
Machine Installed Here

The assay Office of w. L. Shaffer
and company has installed the
latest model of a floatation ma
chine that is on the market, in a
laboratory size.
The machine is an Atkins, and
purchased from the Colorado Iron
works. If these machines were
installed in the mills in this coun-
ty it would entirely revolutionize
the 6oatation of ores here. This
style of machine is being installed
in the largest foatation mills in the
state. One of the biggest advap-
tages of it oyer the old machine,
is that it has a complete air regu-
lator on the top making it possible
for the exact amount of air to he
admitted with the ore. This is a
big improve ment to the Office and
several important tests re already
to be tried on the new machine. !.

(Routt County Sentinel.l

William E. Green, assistant gen
eral manager of the Denver e. Rio
Grande railroad, last week gave
out some important information
regarding the plans for the use of
the Moffat road as link in the
new transcontinental system OF the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. In
an address at Montrose, before a
convention of live stock growers,
Mr., Green promised improvement
in transportation conditions for its
customers on the western slope as
the result of shortening the route
of the Rio Grande by giving it
direct line from Dotsero to Denver,
reducing the distance by over IT'S
miles.
The Rio Grande official declared
that it would be his road, now a
part of the Burlington system and
held under the same ownership as
the. Western Pacific, the Colorado
& xouthern and the main line Of
Burlington, that would be credited
with the construction of the Dot
sero cutoff, of the Empire tunnel
and the new line down Clear Creek
canon, connecting with the present
Moffat track at Coal Creek, %

w. Wallace Gibbs of Lawson
Sends the Siftin9s-News the
Form of a Petition to Con-
9ress to Alleviate the Hard Lot
of the Miner and Prospector.

The following form for petition
was sent to this Office by w.
Wallace Gibbs of Lawson, and he
recommends that all who are in
terested in this proposition sign
the petitions:
We. the undersigned, represent
ative business men, mining oper-
ators, underground men, and citi-
zens of Clear Creek county, state
Of Colorado, do earnestly and most
sincerely present to the law makers
of the congress of the United
States and Of the state Of Colorado
the following suggestion as to
what appears to our minds to be
the real, true, and conscientious
way of relieving the perplexing
question of our country's finances
without giving bonus on gold or
disturbing the standards of our
monetary system or the raising Of
any disturbing questions with for
eign countries, and will furnish
employment for thousands of un-
employed and would be beginning
to og4mb the ladder of betterment
at the proper place-the bottom
rung and not the top rung.
In order to advance steadily
toward .every form of true progress
that viii help mankind there is
only one place to start, and that is
at the bottom. We believe that
our congress is trying to find some
way to help the great mass of
American citizens in the present
turbulence of reconstruction, and
can our law makers do any better
than follow the thought of snch
illustrious men as Washington.
who began at the bottom, and
Lincoln, who began to fight for
the lowly slave.
This thought will prove the true
one in all branches Of life. You
must protect the pioneer. If you
kill the pioneer of any industry
you have at the same time killed
that industry.
A great deal Of legislation is
being threshed out just now affect
