more capital than anything else. AS long
as there is gold and silver in the mines there
will be capital Forthcoming to get it out.
As long as there is a prospect of its being
found there will be capital to venture into
propositions formed for the purpose of find
ing it.
Hard times may effect the price of wheat
and the other cereals but it cannot effect
the price of gold and silver. Idaho Springs
passed through the panic hardly realiz-
ing the transition. Capital came in from
the east steadily to develop her mines. The
production year after year during these
stormy times was normal. The same num-
Der of people were furnished employment
at the same wages. There was little visible
to indicate that national affairs were shiv-
ering in black panicky sea.
The same is true of the present. The
little labor trouble will not be permanent.
When the dissatisfied miners state, as it is
claimed they have stated, that they will
wreck certain propositions, they are mis-
taken Capital can wait for its dividend
longer than labor can wait for its victuals.
The plan of starving is not one that will
be upheld by the people. There is a gen
eral feeling that the laboring man is entitled
to good wages. People do not believe how
ever that the laboring man has the right to
dictate who shall work and who shall not
work. Organized labor represents less than
10 per cent of those who toll in the nation.
Is it right that this ten per cent shall arro-
gate to itself the right to say that the other
90 per cent shall not work to furnish vic
tuals and care for the self or the homea
The unions should give thought to these
matters 1t will not do for it to become
arrogant and attempt to dictate terms for
it is un-American and the American spirit
of the employe as well as the employer
rebels at this. Times will soon be as good
in the district and better than they ever
were.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

While it is true that capital is always
timid, that it seeks fields for investment
where labor troubles are not prominent and
all that, it is also true that the mining camp
is the acknowledged exception to the rule.
Gold and silver are products that are
always staple. This can be said absolutely
of gold, but, of course, silver fuctuates and
possesses something of an unstable market
value.
AS long as these metals remain the money

WILL 81 ORE PAY IN THE DISTRICT

An Indiana subscriber to Siftings, who
is also quite an extensive holder OF stock IN
some of the propositions of the district
writes as follows:
''I note with a great deal of interest what
Siftines SAYS concerning the treatment OF
the low-grade ores of the district and write
to ask if in your opinion, the time will come
when s. ore can be handled even at small
profit. | visited the district last summer
and was struck with the idea that its ult1-
mate success would lie along these lines.
While am not a mining expert L looked
the district over as any business man would.
A reply to this question would be greatly
appreciated"
We will state that we believe the time
will come when s. ore will be treated IN the
district at a small proft-if the tonnage IS
vast enough the profit total will of course
be correspondingly large.
In the Homestake mine the ore treated
will not average 81 per ton and its character
so far as amenability to treatment IS con-
cerned, is no better than much OF the ore IN
this district. The Homestake is the great
est dividend payer in the world
We know of propositions In this district
where low-grade vein can be traced tor
miles on the surface, and there can be no
question regarding its being continuous
with depth, where the average value per
ton will run S. and 81.
We feel much as the inquirer does-whlle
we are not experts in mining and ore treat
ment generally, it would seem that this
could be treated at a proht. Especially
does this appeal to one when 1t is taken into
consideration that it is possible to mine 1t
by the tunnel method so that water will not
bother and the handling of the ore, after 1t
is loaded into the car at the breast OF the
tunnel, is done by gravity. 1t looks as If 1t
would be possible to dump this right out OF
the car, into the mill hopper, and treat 1t at
a profit, even if it is low grade. We know
of half dozen mills in the district where
500, 900 has been expended for the purpose
of construction and these mills must rely
upon their ability to procure custom ore and
treat it at from 81 to $I.25 per ton-de-
pending largely upon the etennagecontracted.
If these men can build a mill to treat this
ore at 81 rs per ton and make it pay what
reason is there for the belief that the mining
tunnel filled with low-grade ore could not
treat s. stuff at profit? The proposition
looks plain to us but there are those who
state that it cannot be done and claim to be
old-timers in mining and milling. We be-
1ieve they are wrong and that the time will
come in the district when ore of this char
acter will be treated at a profit and when
investments in propositions of this char
acter will become the best in the district.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-23
THE CALL FOR PROGRESS.

Siftings is pleased to note the fact that
the spirit of unity and progress is so plainly
manifest in the district. The past week has
shown that so far as the future of the dis
trict is concerned the citizens are unite in
demanding that its progress shall not be i'm
peded or retarted. There is no desire to
work hardship upon the man who accom-
plishes as much as any other man to make
the district success-the man who tolls in
the mines.
There is no desire to press down the thorn
of low wages. The mineowners or at least
a large majority of them favor what the
miners asked-a $2.75 ninium and eight
hours of work. They will not fool and par
ley on the proposition of seven hours and
fifty minutes, however, for such technical
nonsense will never make mine nor will it
ever make a workingman a success.
1t would be equally as sensible for the
mine owner to say to the employee: ''If you
break suspender while on duty and lose
five minutes in repairing it 1 shall expect
you to make it up" What would the
members of the union say to this?
Every miner in the district knows that
there are days when his rounds are ready
and loaded many minutes before. his eight
hours have been put in. Occasionally they
know that it requires a few minutes more
than eight hours. Employer and employe
cannot work in harmony where the minutes
and seconds are counted.
The men who have made the mines of the
district and made it possible for labor to
find employment have not confined their
time to seven hours and fifty minutes-many
of them have worked ten and some of them
twelve and some of them even more than
that. They are entitled to some considera-
ton.
The man who furnishes employment to
labor, who makes it possible for one man or
hundred men to earn wages and become
creative citizens, is entitled to some respect.
No one denies or doubts that labor is en-
titled to honest wages, that it is entitled to
honest treatment and that it is creative of
wealth. This admission does not mean that
the opposite is true of the man who employs
labor. Let us be sensible in matters of this
kind Give both sides what they deserve.
! Let labor and capital work together.

The fact that Ernest Clayton brought
back a first prize with him from the inter
scholastic meet at Boulder makes it look as
if Idaho Springs was getting in line and
getting pro rata proportion in everything.
Ernest won first prize and first money in
the pole vault and made a record that
stands at the top. The city is making
good progress in the schools. We believe
in these athletic exercises and especially
where judgment is employed and the
school is not made a gymnasium but
place where the mental and physical forces
of man are developed together. This is
what makes a man what he ought to be.
President Roosevelt takes a twelve-mile
walk every morning. Those who hate to
walk block or two will hump up their
dyspeptic anatomies and say it is all fool
ishness.
Royal R. Graham was elected secretary
of the school board in district No. S. F.
A. Moss was the only contestant and Mr..
Graham had a margin of votes to spare.
Senator Roberts was elected treasurer of
the board as the new law provides that the
official mentioned must be elected outside
of the membership of the board. Mr..
Graham will make a good secretary and
Mr.. Moss would have made a good one.
The people have no complaint to make as
long as such contests are between gentle
men who understand their business and in
cases where the election of either would
mean good selection.

mending the course of the citizens alliance
of Denver Any man who states that labor
has the right to organize for its protection
is unfair and foolish if he will not give the
employers the same right. Labor unions
have forced the organization of the employ
er's alliances and the principal feature that
has contributed has been the boycott and
the sympathetic strike These propositions
are so manifestly unfair that they at once
arouse the antagonlsm OF any citizen. There
is no reason why the innocent public should
suffer as the result of differences between
employer and employed. AS soon as this
feature is removed from the case the peo-
pie will have more respect for unions 1t
must come, for in this the unions are
wrong and the right will assert itself sooner
or later.

do two or three things at once, tend
children and SOW corn. Miss Lord ap-
preached her to know whether she
wanted Sunday school. OF course
she did; that is just what she had been
praying for for her children. None of
the men abont there would help; too
often the men are as useless as logs for
Christian work. For some time this
mother and her children composed the

members of a church few miles away
were afraid that the Sunday school
would draw from their strength; but
this mother would put on rubber boots
and plough her way through the snow
to church when it was too bad weather
for the members almost under the
shadows of the church steeple to get
out. Oh! Christian work pays, grandly
pays when sloughed of all hypocrisy
