The Preservation of Mine Timber.
Mines and Minerals
Mining people are well aware of
the decreasingsupply and increasing
price of timber suitable for mining
purposes. The time has come when
every stick of timber used inside or
outside the mines should be so
handled during its entire life that it
may be expp('led to give its greatest
service. Actual tests have been
carried on to discover just what
methods of handling and treatment
wonld give the greatest service at
the least expense.
Timber for mining puarposes has
Leretofore been rushed from the
woods to the mines and placed in
the mines in au absolutely green and
unpeeled condition, with the result
that decay or dry rot causes rapid
destruction. We believe by better
methods oi handling, such as peel
ing and seasoning and by a pre
servative treatment with oils or
chemical salts, that the life of this
timber would be prolonged and its
general condition, both as to sound
ness and strength, considerably im
proved.
Ventilation is a large factor in the
destraction of timber by decay. In
badly ventiiated air-courses, wihere
there is sufficient mosture and tem
perature, decay is maximum. For
wood destroying oxigens to exist,
they must have air and water. 1f it
1s possible to keep timber always
wet or always dry, it would not de
cay, it is the alteration of wet and
dry conditions which produce rot.
By direct experiment, it has been
definitely proven that in durability,
peeled timber is superior to unpeeled

will be noted from the table al rve;
that some precincts are missing, ox

| them all, and this gives an inkling
|as to probable vote on other candi- |
dates. The summations are of votes
| reported and of conrse will be verihed

official count. !
The resalt is a tribute t Ibe‘

timber. In unpeeled timber the
space between the bark and the wood
favors the development of wood de
|stroying organisms and furnishes a
|breeding place for many forms of
{lnsect life. Deeled timber is 7 and
I 8 per cent. lighter than unpeeled
[timber.
| OF the treated timbers, those
treated with creosote and a =olution
of zine chloride by the open tank
method, have been very successfal,
A good penetration of the wood by
the preservieg fluid (2 inches to 5
inches) has been easily secured and
timbers so treated are effoctively re
sisting decay.
Timbers treated by the cylinder
process are also standing well, but
in order to be a profitable Invest
ment, they will have to show o con
siderable increase in life over those
{treated by the far less cipensive
open tank process.
The success of the superficial
|brush treatment has vet to be
| proven. Timber so treated is not
as effectively resisting deay as
with other treatments. On ac
count of its comparative ‘heapuess
;nnd ease of application ( requiring no
{ plant) it may be of small benefit to
|small operators ia situations where

From the New York Hotel Reporter.
This evening at 11 o'clock, with a
throng of society people in attend
ance, the remodeled gentlemen's
grille of the Albany hotel, was form
ally opened and chiristened. Miss
Sampson, society editor of the Denver
Republican, named the room the
“Italian Garden,” and by this name
it will be knowa here after. Miss
Sampson and her party of friends
occupied one end of the pretty room
’and at a signal from Proprietor
Dutton, in a few words, announced
’the name she had selected. Follow
‘ing the naming of the room, the in
vited guests were served with cham
!pague in honor of the oceasion and
it was a late hour before the merry
party hroke up.
I'ie mew room is most attractive,
with its decorations of ferns and
palms and the Leautiful fountain in
the center, with its jets of water up
on which are thrown vari-colored
lights, is bound to be extremely
popular with after-theater patrons.
This dining room will be reserved
for gentlemen during the day time,
but at night it will be open to both
ladies and gentlemen.
In the table of election above, it
will be noticed that precincts of
Crested Dutte Nos. 4 and 23 are
both collected under No. 4. Some
precincts are almost entirely missing
as tae returns are locked up in the
ballot boxes, not to be opened wuntil
the official connt. Why is it that
any election jadge will send up the
boxes without returns on a sample
ballot sheet to accompany them? Sach
judges ought not to be allowed to
hear any returns of the county or
state outside their own precinct for
a week.

THE PLAY
“County Chairman” Aţracts
Two Packed Houses
Both Saturday and Moaday
uights pached hLouses greeted the
“County Chairman” as produced at
Masonic Hall by home talent. This
18 George Ade's masterpiece and Mr.
Ade s generally considered the peer
of modern playwrights, It bristles
with good humor and character
drawing so faithiful to life that even
m reading the play one can see the
'.llll“\'l(hl‘fl stand out as real persons
| whom we have met.
Aud the home talent was fine.
| Every character, from Geo. Rob
‘erston as lon. Jas. Hackler the
fecounty chairman, down to Robt.
|Hards as Jupiter Pettiway, mau
| ager of the fife and drum crops and
{Chub Tulliver the irrepressible
| smart boy was carried out true to
life and to the intentions of the
author.
Mr. Robertson had a star part
and played it like professioual
His supposed law partner Tilford
Wheeler, ranning for district at
torney, was portrayved in word
and look and deed by Jos. Milller
Major Skues as the dignified and
pompous judge did the part to per
tection. Harlow Lawrence and Geo.
Brown took the parts of rival editors
as if they had lived in newspaper
atmosphere. Mathias Schmitz Jr.
as a local tough proved a dandy
|darky and furnished fun alive,
Alex McDougal as the village or
ator and henpecked husband knew
his part well. The windmill agent
‘played by Tom Flavin was excellent
as was also Frank Keenan as \'il-‘
lage store keeper. One would have
thought Frank Zuagelder the typical
old settler as he related his rem-{
iniscences and told his stories nfl
days gone by Ross DBlackstock
carried on two parts, those of Cal
Barcas the station agent aad (‘lab‘
Overton a loafer. Tom Hogan won
praise as the village loafer and
Rassel Caldwell was well trained as
the smart boy of the day. Miss
Lucy Righy the danghter of judge
Righy was a part well taken by
Miss Josephine Zugelder. As Mrs
Righy no better actor than Mrs. .I}
Lewis could be foand. There was
alwayvs something doing when Mrs
Jelf Driscoe a part taken by Mrs. O
Colligan was on the stage. She
was a star of the play. As village
milliner Miss Lilhan Miller was
dressed the part and carrned off
high honors as an actress. Miss
Margaret Ilisse and Miss Margaret
Doyle were both good as Chick
Elzer the orphan and as Tilly the
saucy village girl
Altogether it ils rarely that one
sees a play presented by howms
talent that 1s so well ba'anced in
production and with the actors so
well trained. The credit for this
must be given in large part to Rev
Wm Kipp, of the Catholic Church
for the benefit of which organization
the play was put on the boards
£235 was the sam cleared
The excellent music furnished by
High School orchestra and two
quartets sung by the 1. T. Club
should be mentioned as adding to
the enjoyment of the eveuings
| Father Kipp banqueted those
Iwho took part in the play at the
La Veta Monday night.
