Activity at Crestone.
Crestone, Colo. Oct. 15.--(Special.)~
During the past two weeks the Crestone
district has been the scene of renewed
activity• Many of the properties shut
down have been reopened and on those
that have been running steadily the
forces have been increased.
The San Isabel group north of town
which have been shut down for several
months on account of dissensions among
the stockholders, was started up last
week with two shifts and additional men
are being taken on daily. Superinten-
dent Fitts returned from Denver Sunday
where he purchased additional ore cars
and the property will be pushed to its
full capacity from now on. This mine is
equipped with air "drills and a fine con-
centrator, but the mill will not be start-
ed up until there is plenty of ore block-
ed out to keep it running steadily.
The Sunbeam shipped a car of high
grade smelting ore yesterday and Mana-"
ger McDonald expects to have another
car ready for shipment this week.
The Cleveland is sacking high ~rade
ore and will soon be ready to make a
considerable shipment. They are sink-
ing on the main shaft, which is now
down nearly 400 feet, and are getting
some fine ore out of the 265 foot level.
The Banner tunnel is being driven aa
rapidly as two shifts of men can push it
and the indications are that the ore
chute encountered m the old Banner
shaft will soon be cut.
The Pyke & Van Doren and the Allen
& Ryan leases on the grant are now in
shape to ship steadily, their trial ship-
manta having proven pay ore, and Super-
int@ndent Wider has taken a lease on
the old Bonanza, south of the Indepen-
dent. The Bonanza has produced some
fine ores and Mr. Wider hopes to cu~
the chute at 150 feet by a tunnel which
will give him a good block of sloping
ground as soon as the chute is cut.
The grant people have purchased a
compressor and drills that are expected
to arrive shortly and the work of sinking
the big shaft will then be pushed rapid-
]y. Superintendent Wider now has a
force of 40 men on the Independent and
will put on as many more when the new
machinery is placed.
A number of the smaller properties
are working two or three men each and
most of them have good showings.
Taken as a whole the district is in
much better condition than ever before.

Sugar Beets in the Valley.
Mr. T. C. Henry has made some exper-
iments this year which promise to be
highly beneficial to the San Luis valley
in connection w4th the development of
the beet sugar iudustry in that locahty.
He caused some twenty-five or more
plats to be planted in beets this season
!for the purpcee of testing the soil and
climate. These plats are scattered all

THE IAIOM]~ ;OLD CURE,
An Inaenious Treatment by which Drunk
ards are Reing Cured Daily In
Spite of Themselves.
It is now generally known and under-
stood that drunkenness is a disease and
not weakness. A body filled with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by per-
iodical or constant use of intoxicating
liquors requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure themsel-
ves at home w~thout publicity or loss of
time from business by this wonderful
Home Gold Cure which has been per-
fected after many years of close study
and treatment of inebriates. The fmthful
use according to directions of this won-
derful discovery is positively guaranteed
