AscENoANcY OF THE
VOTING MACHINE


The Legislature of Indiana has pass

machines at elections In cities of 49,
900 population or over. Whether the
governor signs the measure or not, It
will call attention to the increasing
favor with which the voting machine
Is regarded in the west While its
adoption may be deferred a while
longer. 1t can be but question of
short time when the larger western
cities will fall in line with Buffalo.

ting has given such universal salts

persuaded to return to the paper
blankets of the Australian ballot sys-
TEN.
Iii Buffalo, where voting machines
have been used in all the elections for
years there appears to be no dissent
among officials or citizens from the
proposition that the machine method
of voting is far ahead of the Austral-
ian system as the latter was ahead
of the old-time ballot system with its
pastors and "stickers" and army of
ticket peddlers at each voting place.
The experience of Buffalo Is yalua-
Bile for the reason that 1t is the only
city that has made practical test OF
the voting machines on a large scale
and for considerable period of time.
At the last election in Buffalo 1t was
Just four minutes past the hour for
closing the polls when bicycle cour-

returns from the fourth district of the
Twentieth ward Thirty seconds later
the returns of the first district of the

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED FOR GOLD KING


1t is quite evident that the coming
summer will be one of general activi-
ty. in Silverton country. Information
is to the effect that many new proper.
ties Will be worked. while old produc-
ers will increase working force
which means an increased output The
following from the last issue of the
SilNerion Standar .s Cnty m indcy OF
what is going on:
Pl2nS for the new structural steel
100 stamp mill be built by the Gold
King company at Gladstone the com
ing summer. mention of which was
made in these columns some three
months ago, have been completed by
the Denver Engineering Works and
contracts for the construction will be
let as soon as possible. The new mill
which is expected to be completed and
in operation before the end of this
year. will, with the present mill of so
stamps, give the Gold King the largest
stamp mill capacity of any property in
the state. Everything about the new
structure, which is to cost s250,000,
Will be automatic. From the ore bins
to the dump the ore will not be han
died by anyone. In recent inter
view in the Denver Republican, Super
intendent Kinney is quoted as saying:
The ore runs about $50 ton and we
get about haif the values right on the
plates The tailings run over van
ners and concentrate the other values
With our present mill it costs us
about 81 to mine the ore and mill it,
and with the new mill this economy
Of treatment will be increased. The
company owns about 200 acres Of land
abou. seven miles from Silverton, and
is now employing. over 200 miners
This force will be about doubled when
the new mill is in operation.
The reported appointment of John
Hays Hammond to be consulting engi-
neer of the vast mining interests of
the Guggenheim Exploration company
has renewed speculation as to the fu-
ture plans of the company in this sec
ton. The great Silver Lake property
already includes something like 5000
acres of land extending from Silver
Lake basin to the crest of Kendall
mountain, and taking in nearly all the
ground on the western slopes of Ha-
Zelton and Blair mountains. There
are, however, a few properties to be
secured before the ownership of ali
that valuable territory by the Silver
Lake people is complete. Chief among
these is the Lackawanna group of five
claims, now under bond to the Four
Metals Mining company. The Lacka-
wanna has a big body of milling lead
ore, and with the Silver Lake milling
facilities could be made a heavy pro-
ducer of concentrates. We under
stand the Silver Lake people are max
ing inquiries about the property with
view to purchase.
