A cloud has arisen to darken the prospect
that the proposition to vote $250,000 school
bonds will be again submitted to the voters
of the city by the Board of. Education at a
special election to bo held In the near fu

litical reasons have expressed opposition to
the plan , and thcso , together with one or
two others who object on other grounds , may
defeat the project.
The law requires that the proposition may

There la every prospect therefor * that the

board my Interest In the matter Is not great

DEXVER , Nov. 11. ( Spectal.-Charles )
F. I'blllpps brings UOWB from New York of
t. most Interesting character to Colorado
mining circles. Mr. I'hlllpps IB nn ex
pert , w'to bus been In the South African
fields , and Is now representing eastern cap
italists , especially these In control of the
Justlno Mlulng company , which owns valua-
bio claims In the Cripple Creek district ,
and the Ingot Development company of New
York.
"These gentlemen , " says Mr. Phlllpps ,
"havo seen great possibilities In the de
velopment of low grade properties In Cole
rado. They BOO the necessity of mills for
treating low grade ore , and realize that the
only thing lacking Is the facilities. I am
In a position to stale that several eastern
capitalists nro planning for the construction
of big mills , Ouo Is already In process ot
erection , with a capacity of SOO tons of
low grade ore a day. This mill will quote
prices greatly below the standard now pre
vailing , making a rate of nbout $3.50 per
ton. There Is every rcuson to believe
that In a year other mills will go up , treatIng -
Ing ore by the now electric process for ? 3
or $3.SO per ton. This will revolutionize
mining in the Cripple Creek district , as
well as In Victor , Goldlleld and other sur
rounding camps. Seven dollar surface and
dump ore can bo treated at an enormous
profit , not only to the mine owners , bnt to
the mill ns well.
"I have spent several yoara In South
Africa on the Hand , and with that experi
ence In mind I have never been In a camp
equaling the Cripple. Creek district. In
fact , to mo the great bed of Ingeous rock
that exists there , and which Is so thoroughly
Impregnated with gold , Is the greatest won
der In the world on account of Its adapta
bility. I ibavc found on the Justine prop
erty at the depth of 110 feet free gold as
saying $868 to the ton , and nearer the sur
face gold assaying fifty ounces and worth
$1,000 to the ton. The lowest grade ore that
has been taken so far from the Justine has
been the gangue rock , assaying ID.CO per ton.
The vein matter assays $26.tiO.
"I am sure these 'values , If not greater
ones , exist not only In the Justine , but in all
other properties , and properties not neces
sarily in the gold belt , assaying much higher
than this and can be worked with profit and
produce ore probably worth $50 a ton. Tuko
$20 ore , which 19 not a high figure. By new
mills and processes , milled at $5 a ton , after
paying expenses of mining , transportation
and mining , it will give a clear profit to the
capitalist of 100 per cent. This may seem
phenomenal , but It Is , nevertheless , true. "
While not caring to mention the men In
terested In the enterprises , Mr. I'hlllpps
says that when their names are known they
will surprise the mining world. "At nil
events , " he says , "tho present owners of the
Justine property nre determined to make the
property an investment that will pay a dlvl-
flcnd after the milling facilities are pro
vided. "
The new mill being constructed la put up
by Now York companies. The Onelda com
pany of New York Is putting up a milt in
Victor.
Mr. Phlllpps has an intereatlng personal
ity. He has traveled over the world , and In
addition to living In Johannesburg , has ppeut
seven years In India. Ho Is well known as a
newspaper man and writer of fiction. This
la not his first visit to Denver. In 1894 , al

was a prime mover , with Lute Wllcox , It

The recutlnr effects that sometimes ac
company ummual 'trade conditions nre Illus
trated by the complaint of the market
gardeners relative to the effect of tlie ex
position. Tlu market place has made pro-
dlglou.1 strides since It was first inaugurated
by the city council and hna , become nn Im
portant feature of local trade. A large pro
portion of Its patronage has come from the
restaurants nnd smaller hotels , many of
which buy nearly their entire supply of
vegetables from the gardeners. As the ho
tels and restaurants have been among the
most extensively benefited concerns during
i the exposition summer It would be taken
or granted that the market gardeners had
ccalved a proportionate benefit. Hut they
ssert that this Is not the case. The garden-
ra say that not only have their sales failed
o show the Increase that has been notlcea-
) le every year since -tho market place was
coated , but their vegetable trade has nctu-
lly fallen off. Lines of stuff of which they
lave been accustomed to sell largely have
alien off altogether nnd the demand for
thers has been limited. The majority of
ho restaurants that \\ere accustomed to buy
arge quantltes of vegetables when they had
hly an ordinary trade h vc bought very
Ittlo when they were feeding all the people
vho could be crowded Inside their doors.
This Is especially true ot the cheaper class
t restaurants and chop houses that have
jcen ono of the principal supporters of the
market business.
Bread nml Meat Only.
This apparent paradox In trade conditions
s explained by tbo fact that tbcso rcslnu-
ants have limited their bill of faro during
he exposition. When normal conditions oh-
alned they were compelled to cater to trade
> y putting on stdo dishes of vegetables as
an additional Inducement to patronage , Dut
his year It has not been a question of get-
Ing the business , but of how many people
hey could feed and ot the margin ot profit
hat they could secure. Consequently they
mvo been serving only straight bread , po-
atocs , coffee and meats and the side dishes
have almost entirely disappeared. The re
sult is that -while the butcher and baker
mvo shared very generously In the profits
qf the summer the vender ot fresh vegetables
ms suffered In comparison. Since the ex-
losltlon visitors have departed and the eat-
ng houses are again compelled to cater tc
he regular patronage the sldo dishes arc
> elng added to the bill of faro nnd the effccl
s already perceptible In nn Increased de
mand for several lines ot vegetables.
While the end ot the season is approach-
ng and the offerings are consequently Hin
ted to a few staple vegetables the markcl
ilaco IB still a busy spectacle during the
nornlng. Stewards of restaurants anO
lotels are among the early visitors In ordci
.o get the pick of the stock , and later thcrt
s quite an active general trade with board-
lit ; house proprietors and economical house
wives who drive down to procure their dallj
or weekly supply of vegetables at extremclj
Favorable prices. As a rule prices are fron
10 to 50 per cent less than these which an
quoted by the peddlers who travel througl
the residence districts. This morning , foi
Instance , Ohio potatoes were selling at 31
cents per bushel all along the street Fancj

Constable I.earn has n choice collection of
flags nnd bronze eagles , together wltb yards
ami yards of trl-cotorod hunting that be look
from the Montgomery \Vurd & Co. building
on the exposition grounds yesterday.
Ijitt emiimer ( Jeorgo A. lloagland of IM
city furnished the National Dpcoratlng com
pany of Chicago with a lot of material to
bo used lu beautifying the walls of the
Montgomery Ward & Co. building. The con
cern did not pay , nnd suit was brought
against the decorating company. Montgom
ery Ward & Co. , being garnlBhecd. The
case wc.s railed In Justice Foster's court ,
whore the Ward people appeared and agreed
that if the decorations were allowed to re
main until the close of the exposition they
would ECO that they wore turned o\er to
Hoagland. It wns to secure those things
that took Constable I.e.-irn to the expo-
I sltlon grounds. But instead of llml-
Ing ns many flags as ho anticipated
ho secured only about half us many and a
number ot chc.ip eagles covered with cheap
bronze. The stuff was carted away nnd will
bo sold at auction In due course of time- .
A low days ago the exposition officials
went before Justice Cockrell and after mak
ing their showing they secured a writ that
when served gave the.m possession of the
Log Cabin Hcan house on the Knat Midway
that they might realize on some percentages ,
due on the concession that had been granted
Cool : , the owner of the place , brought null
In replevin and after the exposition people
had taken nn account ot stock they concludci
that the stuff taken was of so little value
that they would not prosecute the suit. &
a result the property has been turned ovc. to
Cook.
