The Old Gold mine at Cripple Creek
will be started soon by Oscar Foglo
man, who has taken a long time lease.
The company owning the Little
Mattie mine, Idaho Springs, has been
reorganized. Extensive operations are
contemplated. This mine has produced
more than 12,000,000.
Another shipment of high-grade ore
has been shipped l'rom the War Dance
mine In Gilpin county. The settlement
on the lot was 9770 per ton, or 50
per cent better than the one before.
Four carloads of ore wero recently
shipped from the Black Jack mine In
Gilpin county, from which returns of
|22 per ton were received. The ore
la being taken from the 100-foot level.
Three shifts are sinking the Coriol
anus shaft on Battle mountain, Crip
ple Creek, which is almost down to
the 700-foot mark. From that point
laterals will be run to develop the
ground.
Shipments of milling ore are going
nut from the Pioneer mine on Covode
mountain, Georgetown. Occasional
nhipments of smelting ore are also
made and returning S6O per ton or
more in gold.
With the coming of settled weather
the mining camps of Boulder county
will show more activity than for sev
eral years past. In the tungsten field.
Sugar Loaf and along Left Hand, par
ticularly, will this be noticeable.
Empire gives promise of enjoying a
season of great prosperity during the
next few months. Many properties are
undergoing development. The Con
queror company will soon start con
struction of a 300-ton mill* for amalga
mation and cyanidation. Most of the
machinery is on the ground.
The Mary McKP.ney company of
Cripple Creek shipped seven cais of
926 ore in February, while leasers Bent
out 18 cars of the same grade. Tne
drift on the vein off the new level is
in about 60 feet and values are holding
up well. The ore runs S6O per ton.
The ore body is three to five feel
wide.
Marsh Long has a dandy prospect
in a newly located claim about 300
feet south of the Ben C. Lowell at
Magnolia, Boulder country, which he
has named the Apex. In doing his
original location work he uncovered a
four-foot vein of quartz through wht".h
runs a number of streaks of very high
grade ore.
Sinking of the main shaft of the
Klkton, Cripple Creek, has been r*>
Burned. It is expected that u lift of
100 feet can be sunk before water will
be reached. This will give about 170
feet of stoping ground on the main
vein, as the new level is down *J6O
feet. The vein has been drifted upon
for 1,000 feet on the tenth level.
The largest body of ore found in
years on the Gold Dirt property,
Georgetown, is exposed on the fifth
level. The streak is three feet wide
and carload shipments recently made
returned from S9O to SIOO gold per
ton. A. Horstman, the lessee, is also
shipping a fair tonnage of smelting
ore running S7O to SBO per ton.
A bonanza strike has just been made
on the Seven-Thirty property, George
town, a streak of ore from seven to
ten inches wide having been uncov
ered. that carries values of 325 to 400
ounces silver a ton. The streak is
showing in the slope for a length of
twenty feet, and as ground Is broken
there is a marked improvement for
the better, in silver contents as well
as size of the ore body.
The Gold Bullion Mining Compa.iv
of Boulder has inaugurated the work
which is to remodel the old Prussian
mill, making it a modern up-to-date
concentrating plant specially equipped
for treating the ore from the Prussian
and Slide mines. The force of men
now employed at the mill will be in
creased as soon as they can work at
an advantage, and In about 60 days it
is expected that the plant will be in
operation, treating about 76 tons dally.
On Tenderfoot and Womack hills In
the vicinity of the Mollle Kathleen
mine, Cripple Creek, Important ore
discoveries have been reported and de
velopment shows them to be perma
nent. In the Emma Abbott and the
Ella W. claims the ore has been prov
en at depth. In the Emma Abbott a
heavy black sulphide is mined, return
ing S4O per ton and better. The val
ues in the Ella W., under lease to
Johnson & Co., are found in a granite
formation. The vein is about two feet
wide. There are three producing prop
erties in this vicinity and Tenderfoot
hill is coming to the front. as a pro
ducing section.
The Princess mill at Lakewood.
Boulder county, which has been closed
down for the past year on account of
the poor demand for tungsten, is to
go into commission us soon as the
snow is off and settled weather sets
in.
The shaft on the Mint vein, George
town, is being sunk at the rate of two
feet a day and a fine body of ore fol
lowed. Drifting Is in progres through
the tunnel and a big body of mill ore
is being followed. The ten-stamp mill
will start as soon as weather condi
tions are favorable.

SANG FOR 62 YEARS IN CHOIR
Pennsylvania Boloist Baid to Hold
Record for Continuous Service
at One Chureh.
Shippensburg, Pa. —What is prob
ably the world’s record as a public
singer la held by Mrs. George V.
Johnston, who for more than 62 years
has been soloist in the Presbyterian
church here.
As Abigail Rankin she entered th»
Presbyterian choir in 1849, when she
was twelve years old. The choir was
directed by George Reynolds, and Miss
Rankin was asked to play the cabi
net organ, the church’s sole musical
Instrument. Accompanying the choir
and herself as soloist, she played the
organ for several years.
She has traveled a distance of more
than 40,000 miles in merely going to
and from her choir rehearsals and
church services, while the actual time
she has spent in a choir seat would
amount to the equivalent of one year
and a half, or in the neighborhood
of 14,000 hours, and this does not take
into account her singing at Sunday
school, prayer meeting or missionary
society meetings.
Mrs. Johnston’s voice is as sweet
and cler.r today as it was three score
years ago. She is a member of the
local woman’s musical club, where
just lately she has sung several solos
written by modern French writers.
When asked what particular hymn or
especial church musical number she
liked best, Mrs. Johnston said, “Oh, 1
couldn’t tell you! I love them all."
The present director of the choir
in which Mrs. Johnston sings is Miss
Agnes Mathews, a pupil of the elder
Kullak and at one time accepted as a
pupil by Frans Liszt.

DESTITUTION
AMONG FARMERS
COLORADO HOMEBTEADERB, MEN
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
LITERALLY STARVING.
MUST HAVE HELP
•TATE BOARD OF CHILD AND AMI
MAL PROTECTION ABKB FOR
CONTRIBUTIONS.
Denver. —The situation in some of
the districts of the eastern part of
the state, where the snowfall has been,
very heavy and last year’s crop was
not sufficient to furnish feed for the
stock through the winter is recognised
by the State Board of Child and Ani
mal Protection as one requiring quick
and adequate relief or the suffering
among the people and their stock will
be very great. The board has Issued
an appeal for fundß to be used In the
way of loans to tide these settlers
over for a few months and enable
them to buy food for themselves and
sustain their stock In a proper condi
tion for the spring work of cultiva
tion. The appeal is as follows:
To ths Citizens of Colorado:
▲ condition of extreme destitution
and famine exists among the recent
settlers in three or four counties in
this state. Owing to the lack of rain
fall during the past two years, to the
newness and unbroken condition of
their claims and to the extraordinary
severity of the winter, the worst on
the plains in thirty years, these peo
ple and their children, with their
horses and cows, are in many cases
literally starving.
Their gaunt horses cannot drag a
plow from weakness. Their cows
give no milk, and unless help is given
them within the next few days both
horses and cows will die.
Moreover, although ths heavy snow
fall makes a bountiful crop certain,
they have no seed.
These men, their wives and children
h%ve endured great hardships to make
homes; they must be helped, their
children fed, their stock saved and
their crop sowed. Common humanity
demands that much.
Thsy are good citizens, industrious
and law-abiding. It will be incred
ibly short-sighted and foolish for the
people of this state to let them fall
just now when their success Is at
hand. They do not want charity, but
only to be helped till they can repay
with their summer’s crop.
Accordingly, the State Bureau ot
Child and Animal Protection asks
subscriptions for them, to be sent to
its office and guarantees to see that
without any cost the fund so raised
will be used to provide food, feed and
seed under the investigation and su
pervision of its officers, and that
notes without interest for all that is
advanced will be obtained payable
when their crops are sold.
We earnestly ask that all who de
sire to aid these most deserving fam
ilies send their subscriptions to this
bureau at once. No time can be lost.
Plowing should begin as soon as the
starved horses can be fed and gain a
little strength.
No matter how small the amount it
can be used. A few dollars will feed
a family for a week; $1 will feed a
cow and 92 a horse for a week; 9?
will buy seed wheat for an acre.
The names of all subscribers will
be furnished to the daily press from
day to day, together with the use made
of their subscriptions.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Ellis ton, Vs.—“l feel it my duty to express my thanks to you and your
Csst medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con
ed in bed over one third of my tique for ten months. I could not do my
housework and had fainting spells so that my husband oonld not leave me
alone for five minutes at a time.
“ Now I owe mv health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering’ woman I want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for
them.”—Mrs. Robert Blankenship, EUiston, Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA
New Orleans, La.—“l was passing through the Change of Life and 1-
fore I took Lydia E. Pinkhame Vegetable Compound I was troubled w.
hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I wouiu
get up in the morning feeling tired out and not fit to do anything.
*' Since I have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all
right. Tour medicines are worth their weight in gold." Mrs. Gaston
Blondkau, 1541 Polymnia St., New Orleans, La.
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Wauchula, Fla.— 44 Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symp
toms, headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused
by female troubles.
“I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a
package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman.
”1 am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had
not taken your remedies, I would have been a great sufferer. But I started
in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much
either. I feel that you are a friend to all women and I would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor.” Mrs. Mattie Hodnot, Box 406, Wau
chula, Florida.
LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Martinsburg, W. Va.—“ 1 am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself.
44 I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter says that when
■he hears a girl complaining with cramps, she tells her to take your Com
pound.” Mrs. Mart A. Hockenberbt, 712 N. Brd St, Martinsburg, W. Va.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Newport News,Va.—"About five years ago I was troubled with such pains
and bloating'every month that 1 would have to go to bed.
‘‘A friend told me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
I soon found relief. The medicine strengthened me in every way and my
doctor approved of my taking it
44 1 will be glad if my testimony will help some one who is suffering
from female weakness.”—Mrs. W. J. Blatton, 1029 Hampton Ave., Newport
News, Va.
