people were left In town Everything
considered this is hardly possible or
even likely but undoubtedly a large
number of people did leave immedi-
ately.
GRANTEES days Of glory were over.
The death blow had fallen although
she made feeble efforts to come back.
Three years later the mines were con-
Solidated and opened again in 1898
under the name of Granite Bi-Metallic
Consolidated Mining Co. Numerous inn
provementS were made to enable the
company to work the large quantities
of low-grade ore. An 8,850-foot tunnel
was put through from Douglas creek
30 drain the mines and reduce pump
ing costs. This tunnel had been started
before the crash Of 1893 and had been
abandoned within few hundred feet
of completion when the mines closed
down.
A subsidiary company known as the
Montana Water, Electric Power g.
Mining Co was organized to supply
electricity for both the mines and mills
and it constructed what is now known
as the GEORGETOWN lake. 1t was later
sold to the Amalgamated Copper Co.
During the next six years the mines
produced about 81 100000 a year but IN
spite of the fact that quite a few
men were working, the town never at
tanned the glory of the nineties. Again
in 1905 the falling prices of silver
forced another shutdown but in 1905
about 100 men were working sorting
the old dumps and waste. From then
on until shortly after the war, when
the last families moved out leasers
worked parts of the mine from time
to time.
Altogether the two mines produced
about $32,OO0,000 in gold and silver,
SIS .OOo 600 of which was paid out in
dividends. OF this total the Granite
mine paid about $13,0O0,O0O.
Hospital Meas Collapsed
Little of the old town is left; only
and strong, resisting the passing OF
time. The hospital leans weather.
beaten and weary against the hillside,
soon to collapse. The lower workings
of the mines are under water and
everywhere lies tons of rllsting ma
chinery. Here and there among the
ruins stick up water pipes and hyd-
rants, the only reminders of the water
system which once brought the towns
water supply from Fred Burr lake,
four miles away. The massive timbers
of the Granite mines gallows frames
stand in lonely silhouette against the
low-flying storm clouds.
Over everything spreads an unearth-
" stiffness, broken only by the whis-
pering moan Of the wind among the
crumbling ruins. AS night falls its voice
grows louder, calling perhaps to the
ghosts Of the miners who, legends say,
on moonlight nights walk the streets,
for the life and gaiety long
since departed Again and again they
return, always searching, searching, |
searching.

The quotas were increased from

Established under sugar control
legislation, the quotas are supposed
to represent the amount needed to
supply the country during the calen-
dar year. Officials said that it had
become necessary to raise the esti-
mate of needs largely because of
increased consumption resulting
from defense re-employment and a
practice of many consumers to carry
larger reserves than normal to avoid
a possible shortage.
The new l941 quotas compare
with 7,465.633 tons marketed in 1899,
year in which President Roose-
velt suspended quotas because of
consumer boarding and sharply
rising prices. Consumption last
year totaled about 6,89OOOO tons.

McGiII Staple Index
Climbs to New Peak

AUBURNDALE, Mass, July 19.-
The commodity index compiled by
the McGin Commodity Service
climbed to a new war high during the
last week. 1t now stands at 86.2,
as against 857 week ago, and ISL
at the beginning of the year.
The higher price average was the
result mainly of advances in in
dustrial commodities, although the
livestock index also worked rather
sharply higher. In the agricultural
group there was a slight decline,
but the average price of farm prod
ucts is holding at level we'll above
that noted at the first of the year.
The advance in industrial COM
modities was led by higher prices
for paint materials. fine and coarse
textiles, and vegetable oils. In this
group, only non-ferrous metals was
lower.
