Interesting Silverton Letter

SILVERTON, Colo, Sept. 8, 1902.
Editor Evening Herald:
write to you of the '1iyeliest
gold camp in San Juan county-the
old Bear Creek camp. which in times
past was burden. but is now a bless.
ing. Everything is changed there now
for the better Even the name of the
camp is likely to be changed to that
of Silver Cliff" when the name OF
Golden Bloom" would be more ap-
propriate. There is something in a
name. and gold predominates in that
district.
The Gage process OF extracting min
eral from the ore is grand success.
Ores that two years ago it would not
pay operators to handle are now
paying from SIS to 500 per ton net
money.
The Good Hope mines are now pay

are now yielding ore on three-foot

ready for the mint by the Gage pro-
cess from ore left on the dumps as
worthless; and the best of it all is.
that this process saves more gold
from the ore than is shown by assay
tests. This small hill has proven to
us the value of the Gage process, and
it has proven the value of our mines.
The test on our ores was conclusive,
and now the International Reduction
company will build 50-ton mill on the
old Calaverite Camp property, at the
Sylvanite mine, where there are sew
eral thousand tons of pay ore, now on
the dump, and other mines are in con-
dition to yield from so to 100 tons of
sylvanite ore daily. This company
now controls twenty of the best mines
now developed in the valley, and is
able to handle as many more.
Ores that heretofore cost $40 to
mine. mill and market, can be mined
and handled by the Gage process for
s. and $6 per ton.

They will work their mines for the
winter with about four hands, and in
the coming season with large force

and will soon have some of it in pock

The hitherto refractory ores from
Bear creek are now being handled at
less price than was ever thought
possible before by any owner in the
valley. The ore from the old Kanka-

Gage process also, as they too are a

George Bosnian of Silverton has a

will soon be in the swim, with his
head above water and fish in his
mouth.

"FoR REVENUE oNLY?"

Why did Senator Teller weep so
copiously when boiling from the Re-
publican national convention at St.
Louis in 1896 if he was really Dem
ocrat at heart during his entire TWEEN
" years service as "A Republican SEN
ator and cabinet officer?
Why did he say again and again in
the senate and on the stump that he
had helped to organize the Republican
party If he really only joined 1t on ac-
count of the slavery question at the
beginning of the civil war and pre-
ferred Democratic principles and poll
cies on all other issues while he was
drawing pay as a Republican Office
holder?
How came he to serve time and
again as a delegate at large in Repub-
lican national conventions if he truly
believe that the hope of the country
lay in the triumph of Democracy, and
why did he make protection speeches
and vote for protective tariffs If he
was really free trader at heart all
the time?
One answer to these questions, and
to many more of like nature that will
be suggested by Senator Teller's Cen
trail City speech, as reported verbatim
in the News on Sunday morning, is
that thedesire to remain in office has
been the sole controlling motive of
Mr.. Teller's whole political career.
He posed as a staunch Republican as
long as that course insured his reten-
ton in the senate, and he bolted from
the St. Louis convention because he
knew that he could not be reelected
in 1896 If he remained in that body.
He is now a Democrat because he
thinks that the sixteen hold-over Dem
ocratic senators in our next legisla-
ture give the Democrats such an ad
vantage that no Republican can be
elected to the United States senate
next winter. and therefore he conf
dently expects to be his own success
sor.
That may be satisfactory to Demo
Gratis and Populists. but why should
any Republican be expected to endorse
Mr.. Teller's desire to be his own sue
cessor on such terms?-Denver Re
publican.

A LESSON IN GOVERNMENT.

In pointing out. as he did In his
Hartford speech what has been done in
the island territory acquired in 1898,
President Roosevelt called attention to
an achievement in government which
Illustrates the American way of doing
things. I'VE have not in Porto Rico"
he said, been frightened or misled
into giving the people form of gov
ernment unsuitable to them, and while
providing that they should govern
themselves, so far as possible, we
have not hesitated. in their own inter-
est, to keep the power of shaping their
destiny. In the case Of the Philip
pines. he said, we had the choice of
leaving the islands, as many persons
urged. or of holding and administer
ing them in the best interests of their
people and of the United States and
the cause of civilization. and although
the first-named policy would have been
by far the easier, we have embraced
the second This involved, in the
first place. the assertion of American
authority by the military arm of the
government, and when this was ac-
complished we provided a scheme of
civil sway whereby the soldier steps
into the rear and the civil officer goes
to the front. The change was made
on the Fourth of July, 1902, when the
new regime came in and amnesty was
extended to all political offenders, ex-
cept in the case of the Mohammedan
Moros, where a different set of condi-
lions prevails. At the same time the
best men who could be obtained, ire
spective of partisan considerations,
were selected to administer the gov
ernment of both localities.
AS result of this wise and courag-
eous policy the Americans have won
the confidence and regard of large
majority of the inhabitants of the Phil
ippines as well as those of Porto Rico.
The latter island has already been ad-
vaneed to the dignity of a territory.

la has been followed in either locality.

Retired With Honor

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. s.
ter a long and distinguished military
record covering period of more than
forty years, Surgeon-General William
II. Forwood of the army will be placed
on the retired list tomorrow by opera
ton of the age limit. General Forwood
succeeded to the head of the medical
department of the army three months
ago on the retirement of Brigadier
General Sternberg. He is a native of
Delaware and a graduate of the medi-
cal department of the University of
Pennsylvania. In 1861 he was ap-
pointed a surgeon in the regular army
and his service in the civil war was
marked not only by his skill and de-
votion to his work, but by dash and
gallantry that won the admiration of
all those with whom he served. His
coolness under fire was remarkable.
and it is said of General Forwood that
he administered to the wounded men
when shot and shell were falling
around him with as much skill as
though he were behind the walls of
a hospital.
At the battle of Gaines Mill, Va,
Lieutenant James F. McElhone was
shot down by the enemy outside the
union lines. DR.. Forwood saw him fall
and. marking the place by huge tree
that stood by, determined to bring
back his comrades body at the first
opportunity. That night the young
surgeon, with two volunteers, crept
across the enemy's lines, past the
pickets on guard and to the spot where
McElhone fell He was not dead, as
they supposed. but seriously wounded
and with great difficulty and at the
risk of capture they succeeded In get
ting the suffering officer back to camp
His recovery was slow and tedious
but he was finally restored to health
and lived many years to tell the story
of his dramatic rescue by Surgeon
Forwood.
One of the most interesting Incl
dents of General Forwood's career is
his capture by Mosby's men. 1t hap,
pened near HARDWOOD ranch. when
Surgeon Forwood, with the regimental
commander, Captain Cram, and two
orderlies, was riding to General Bur
ford's quarters, mile and half dis
tant from their camp. On their way
they were suddenly surrounded by
about thirty of Mosby's men, who
seemed to spring up from the ground
and, with carbines cooked, compelled
a surrender, since the little party ol
unionists were not armed. The pris
oners were conducted to house some
distance in the woods, the headquar
ters of the guerrillas, evidently ant

SHAMEFUL, If TRUE.

In his Central City speech on Sat
urady. reported in the Rocky Mount
ain News on Sunday. Senator Teller
demonstrated that his whole political
deceit He said that he had always
been a Democrat in sentiment and
that it was only the slavery issue that
caused him to ally himself with the
Republicans. Admitted to Republican
councils, honored by Republican elec-
ton to office and appointment to a
seat in the cabinet of a Republican
president. he nevertheless was all the
time Democrat at heart.
BY his own confession the story of
his life is a story of deception. Born
in New York in 1890 he removed to
Illinois in 1858 1t was then. as he
now claims, that he acted with the Re-
publicans because of the slavery is
ssue. In 1861 President Lincoln called
for volunteers. In 1861 Mr. Teller re-
moved to Colorado. Is it possible that
he wanted to prevent the introduction
of slavery into the territories?
The war closed in 1865. and with it
the slavery issue came to an end. But
no one in Colorado heard of Mr.. Teller
as a Democrat. In 1876 Colorado was
adamitted as state, and as a Republi-
can he was sent to the United States
senate Ever since then he has been
in the senate, except during the time
the time that he served as secretary
of the interior in President Arthur's
cabinet In II, in 'S5 and in 81 he
was elected as a Republican. In 1896
he withdrew from the Republican ma
tional convention with every manifes-
ration of grief, but which now seems
to have been joy disguised. The wind
had shifted. and he went with it. He
became Silver Republican. Later
he became Teller Silver Republican.
and then he felt at home. But the
>yind shifted again and he was com
~belled to move. He is now a Teller
Democrat
1t has been said upon occasion that
Senator Teller is cold and selfish.
reaping where he has not sown and
gathering where he has not strewn
But no one in the days when he was
great champion of Republicanism
believed that he was in sympathy with
the enemy and that he yearned for
more intimate association with Patter-
son and Thomas and all the other lead
ers of the Colorado Democracy. Time
and again he has boasted with doubt
full veracity that he aided Lincoln and
Sumner and Seward to lay the founda-
tons of the Republican party and it
was with streaming eyes that he left
the Republican national convention in
1896. not to join the Democracy, but
to found a new party on new politi-
cal issue.
There are men who glory in their
shame" and Senator Teller is one of
them. His confession is one of time
serving and self-seeking. He has al
ways been for himself. always, except,
as he claims. on the slavery issue,
willing to sacrifice himself for profit
and personal ambtion-a trimmer and
a time-server in all the years of his
long political career. He was Re
publican when Republicans were IN
power. because he wanted office. In
1896 he went halfway over because he
knew he could not be elected to the
senate in 1897 unless he did so. ana
now at last he has gone all the way
over. because he fears that unless he
does SO the Democrats will not take
him up.-Denver Republican.
