THE PROSECUTORS REST.

An old, gray head on pack saddle,
A gaunt old form at rest;
y tired old heart has ceased to beat,
There is frost on sun burned breast.
Those SCARED old feet that for thirty
years
Have trod the burning sands,
Are laid to rest on the mountains s
crest
Along with the tired old hands.
Uncover your head, my brother,
You whose fortunate life.
Has found its blessing in pure
caressing
or mother, children and wife;
You whose life has followed
The fight of the white-winged dove,
Whose feet are treading the happy
way
Bestrewn with the flowers of love.
You reckon not OF the burden
That brave old soul has borne,
OF the glad, sweet privilege of home,
OF which his life was shorn,
The ceaseless yearning and longing,
That terrible, endless strain,
That will never depart till it chills
the heart
And sears the human brain.
The weird and dismal seranade
OF the coyote on the plains;
The moan of the solemn pines
enthralled
His very soul in chains.
Only the vision of home and love
Returned in fitful CLEANS
Through the dreary flight of the
desolate night
In the old prospector's dreams.
Uncover your head, my brother,
AS we lay the poor old form
Away from trouble, away from grief,
Away from the cloud and storm.
The mountain stream was his
sweetheart,
His sweetheart and his bride,
And now in this solemn moment
We will lay him by its side.
An old. gray head on pack saddle,
The burros are straying away;
Well scatter the wild flowers on his
grave
In the light of the dying day.
Somebody back in the mighty east
May thank us with tears some day,
Since we silently prayed and tenderly
laid
The old Prospector away.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Elk Mountain mining dis
trict is the coming country of the
western slope. A former publisher
of the PILOT years ago contended
that there was yet three great min
ing camps to be struck in Colo
rado: Creede, Cripple Greek and
Crested Butte. Two have been
found and realized upon. The
strike that will establish the third
and last is only few months dis
tant.

The Smelter Trust.
.ocKY MOUNTAIN NEWS.


Even though the suit filed by
Attorney General Post for the dis
solution Of the smelter trust should
not attain its object, it will be like
ly to result in declaration of the
law which enables the people and
the Legislature of this state to deal
with such combinations as the
smelter monopoly. However the
owners of the trust may seek to
disguise the truth, their company
is menace to the mining industry
of the west because of its power to
accept or to refuse to accept ores,
to dictate treatment charges and to
influence special railway rates for
its own benefit and to the detri-
ment of independent mine owners
and independent treatment plants.
The increasing purchases by a
company affiliated with the trust
of mines producing desirable fux-
ing ores are as mauy steps toward
intreuching the monopoly in po-
sition whence a competing COM
pany will have difficulty in GUST
ing it.
D The power of the trust has been
6ully demonstrated during the past
year by its arbitrary dealing with
Leadville and other great mining
centers. 1t has shown itself pos
sessed of power which may not be
left with, safety in the hands of any
private individual or corporation.
When the trust was formed the
News pointed out that it would be
in position to dictate to and har-
rass mine owners to such an extent
that the proprietors of desirable
properties might be forced to sell
to it, or to a company allied with
it, at its own terms. The predic-
ton has been verified to some ex-
tent, and if the aggressions of the
trust were permitted to continue
for few years it would become
the owner of many of the best
properties which, as yet, remain In
independent control.
The suit may clear the way to.
ward state ownership of smelters
for it would be far preferable that
the state own and operate smeltere
than that monopoly be permitted
to seize upon the mining industry
of Colorado for it's own benefit
The state has many weapons in its
arsenal for n fight of this kind.

TIMES AND MINING.

1 is the aim of this paper to truth
fully and reliably represent the interests
of the Elk Mt. mining district. The
wide circulation that is given to this
matter contained in its columns proves
that it is being confined to facts. We
are ever ready to do all in our power to
further the advancement of all egiti-
mate enterprise, but stock schemes and
illegitimate capitalization of worthless
mining claims will be exposed as fast as
sufficient proof of their existence can be
obtained. There is in this district un-
limited opportunities for the safe invest
ment of capital in mines. But the game
of freeze OUT has been played so often,
in even the best mines in the district.
while the "knocker" is ever present to
put damper on all deals that do not
directly concern himself, that capital
has been kept out to the great injury of
the entire country. The time is coming,
and is near at hand, when those who do
not have a proposition worthy of in.
vestigation and that does not warrant
the expenditure OF money for develop
ment purposes will be excluded from the
list of mining promoters, and not until
that time will the business be as clean
as it should be.

Ore from different mines have been
brought in for the purpose of obtaining
mill tests as soon as the reduc ton plant
is in running order. The latest i'm
proved tables have been shipped and are
expected to arrive at an early date.
Harvey Smith who is experimenting
the works, states that everything will be
in shape in week or SO, and that he en-
tertains no doubt but that all milling
ores in the district will be successfully
treated. This enterprise means consid-
cradle to this district and developments
are anxousliy awaited. Gold and silver
values are found throughout the entire
district in connection with the baser
metals, and the latter invariably de-
crease the shipping possibilities of the
product. Sulphide and gray copper
ores are known to exist in paying guam
titles, but rates OF transportation have
heretofore eaten up the profit, and work
either been suspended or confined to de-
velopment. What this country needs is
mills and smelters, especially of copper
matte furnace. The zinc product of the
district il properly milled would not only
be great source of revenue, but would
be steady and reliable. The silver mined
in this locality is in almost every case
found in connection with lead and zinc.
While the two latter metals form by far
the greatest bulk of weight and are the
least valuable. The lead aids the smelt.
ing of the ores, but this is offsett by the
zinc, which increases the cost OF smelling
With the proper milling facilities these
ores can be separated and thereby in
crease the value OF each. Rates for
transportation would be lowered from
the fact that nothing but clean ore
would be shipped, and the baser metals
would no longer deprive the mine owner
of the premiums paid by the smelters for
silver-lead ores. A detailed account of
the working of the reduction plant now
nearing completion will be given as soon
as work begins.
Washington gulch is to be prospected
by diamond drill The machine ar
rived recently, and is new one of the
latest model. Work will begin in a few
days and the extent of tho placer
grounds will be determined as soon as
possible. 1t has always been a puzzle
to the mining men who we're interested
in this country as to where the gold
came from that was obtained from the
placers. Those who are acquainted with
the camp have always insisted that a
great mother lode of gold bearing quartz
existed somewhere beneath the deep
alluvial soil that fills the head of the
gulch. Should this be the case dia-
mond drill is the cheapest method of as
certaining the fact, as it is hopless
task to find lead under the conditions
which here exist, by ordinary mining
and prospecting.
