WALKER KILLED
TRAGEDY IN euNNlson COUNTY
Postmaster at crookton Shot by
George Neal-Murder the Result
Of an Old Quarrel,

Denver, Oct. IA Gunnison spe-
cial to the Republican last night says:
The remains of c. w. Walker, post
master at Crookton, who was shot and
killed at his ranch, east of here, last
evening by George Neal. were brought
to Gunnison tonight. Neal is still at
large and the officers of Saguache
county, in which the shooting oc-
CURED. are after him. The bullet en-
tered Walkers head beneath the left
eye and caused instant death. The
nature of the trouble between the two
men has not been learned. The dead
man was member of the Red Mems
lodge at this place. 1t is thought Neal
will go to Saguache and give himself
up to the sheriff.
Neal called at the Walker ranch
about Z o'clock last night and invited
Walker to come out. Walker did so
and Neal renewed the old quarrel.
After quarreling for few minutes
Walker, it is alleged, raised his fist
as if to strike Neal when the latter
suddenly drew a revolver and fred
point blank at his head. Neal did not
stop to see the result of his shot, but
turned and ran toward the foothills
and escaped.
Mrs. Walker, wife of the dead man,
was at Crookton attending postofflce
duties at the time her husband was
shot. The postoffice is located about
quarter Of mile from the Walker
ranch.
Walker formerly lived in Gunnison,
where he conducted a meat market
The body will be brought to Gunnison
for interment. He leaves a widow.
Neal has been working on ranches
around Crookton and Doyle for the
past four years. He is a single man.

Maine and Vermont Mines.

In northern New England some in
terest has recently been shown in the
exploration of quartz veins containing
precious metals. During the field sea-
son of 1903 DR.. George Otis Smith.
member of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, visited two localities
where search for the yellow metal was
being prosecuted.
The mining property in Maine upon
which the most development work
has been done during the past year is
situated in Milton Plantation, in Ok
ford county. A group of high hills
which here encroaches upon the valley
of Androscoggin river includes Mount
Zircon. the most prominent height OF
the vicinity, and Mount Glines,
somewhat lower knob. on the slopes
of which the mining work has been
done. Assays from the Mount Glines
property have been reported as indi-
eating values ranging from $3.50 to
$49.68 a ton. These assays were
doubtless made of picked material.
Samples taken by DIR. Smith and as
sayed by DR.. E. T. Allen in the sur
vey laboratory show not even trace
of gold. All the assays indicate that
the ore is in no sense gold-bearing.
and even in the best assay the silver
content is no greater than is to be ex-
| pected in a galena ore. Further de-
velopment is required to determine
whether these veins contain copper
and lead in profitable amounts.
In the town of Pittston, Kennebec
| county, Maine. prospecting for gold
has been carried on for many years.
The development here is in the peg
matitic veins. sheets, and masses in
the Micas-chist of the region. Assays
made of picked samples from the prin-
cipal opening in the pegmatite. showed
| no traces of either gold or silver.
DIR. Smiths observations in Vermont
| are like those which he made in Maine.
Within the last fifty years more money
seems to have been spent on mining
| operations in the town of Plymouth
and Bridgewater than has been real
lied from these efforts. Since 1859
work has been done, at various times.
| on the Taggart vein near Bridgewater.
| Ore has been taken out here that was
reported to yield $32 in gold to the
ton. Assays made in the Survey lab
ora.ory indicate value of over Sc,
but the sample assayed represents the
richer part of small ore body. All
! the value is in silver, copper and lead.
| The absence of gold is suggestive, in
view OF the high gold values claimed
| for this vein.
The only gold known to have been
mined at anything like profit in
southern Vermont is that found in the
gravel deposits of Plymouth. and the
extent to which that mining was prof
table is doubtful. The essential fea
ture in the question of the occurrence
of gold in Vermont is the economic
value of the deposits. That is at least
sufficiently well understood to make
extravagant speculation entirely un.

Chaneys wife, who was divorced from
him and who is in the East at this

water and irrigating bitches, but the
immediate cause of the killing was a
quarrel over Wilson's cattle breaking
into Chaney's field.
There were three witnesses to the
shooting. Wilson's hired man, the lat

daughter. Wilson's wife is dead and
the hired man and his wife were look

the killing occurred and the partici-
pants were some distance from the
witnesses. The men fought duel and

distance of twenty-eight yards. Both
men shot twice. Wilson used a rife

to his house and neighbor, G. r.
Couchman, went to Ridgway in re-
sponse to his demand. Deputy Sheriff
Frank Bugby. accompanied by Coroner
kincaid drove to the scene of the kill
ing, where they found Chaney's body
lying on the ground. Couchman' S
place is within three-quarters Of mile
of Wilson's ranch.
The inquest will be held at the court
house at 10 a. m. tomorrow. The
corpse and Wilson were brought to
this city at noon to-day.

Mining Outlook.

Not in years past has there been as
much activity in mining as at the
present time. From all sections comes
most encouraging news OF the open
ing of ore bodies as a result OF the
campaign OF development that has
been waged during the past twelve
months. This Is evidenced by the or
ders for heavy equipment that has
been placed within the last sixty days.
and the plants at present being fig
ured on in different sections OF the
West.
In two sections of Colorado produc-
tion was curtailed by reason OF the
labor difficulties. but the work of de-
velopment proceeded as usual, with
the result that more ore has been de-
veloped in consequence, and to handle
which 1t becomes necessary to In

duction facilities. while the inquiries

sNEERINe AT THE FARMER.

From time to time the News has

the proportion of Mr.. Peabody's ex-
travagant expenditures borne by the
farming counties of the state. Yester-
day morning the Denver Republican,

ernor by saying editorially that the to-
tai amount contributed by the farming
counties is comparatively small, any
way. and implying that they should
pay good deal more.

Marshal Shoots supposed Burglar.

Denver, Oct. PA Glenwood
Springs dispatch last night says:
About 1 O'Clock this morning. when
Marshal Malaby entered his house on
Pitkin avenue. he met his daughter.
who said she thought somebody was
in the house. Malaby began a search
at once and found a man, later identi-
fed as Fred Burns, under the bed of
his daughter Kitty. When ordered to
come out from under the bed Burns
obeyed but ran behind a door. The
officer ordered him out again, but he
refused to stir and the marshal
stepped forward to take him by force.
Then Burns made dash for liberty
and paid no attention to a command
to stop.
Malaby then shot him in the back
with a soft nose .32 bullet. The bull
let entered the spine. paralyzing the
entire body below the point of en-
trance. Burns has been unconscious
and under opiates most of the time
since being shot. He was taken to the
Red Cross hospital where. during a lu-
cid moment, he gave the name of Fred
Burns and said he came here from
Martinsville, Indiana. He was formerly
employed on the Devereaux ranch.

and only recently quit work there. He

1t Is true, as the Republican sneer-
ingly remarks, that the most of the
farming counties pay sums that do not
look very large alongside of the
amount paid by Denver-and we fancy,
by the way, that the amount of Den
ver's contribution is not without in
terest to the voters of this city-but
the point for consideration in the farm
ing counties. as well as anywhere else,
is WHETHER THEY HAVE TO PAY
TOO MUCH. The little farming county
that is taxed $4,000. $4,000 or $50. 900
or the larger farming county that must
pay 100000 or more to meet the cost
of the governors compact with the cor
porations. and of his extravaganza in
every department, has a right to feel
that its hardly won earnings are being
improperly taken from 1t, and it is no
wonder that the people of such county
compare, to the advantage OF Governor
Adams. his expenditure of $1,000. 900 in
two years with the expenditure OF $4.-
100000 by Governor Peabody in the
same period. This means that the ex-
penditures under Governor Adams
were considerably less than one-half OF
the expenditures under Governor Pea
body. To ,.-,s direct cost in payments
to the state must be added the loss
caused by disturbance of business and
narrowing. of markets, which is more
than the amount OF taxes and fees COL
lected by the state.
No thoughtful business man. mer-
chant, stock raiser. farme, -. builder
will vote for high taxes merely for the
pleasure of continuing the disturbed
conditions which must accompany an
attempt by Mr.. Peabody to carry out
his arrangements with the mine own
ers' association aud the big industrial
corporations like the Fuel and Iron
company and the smelter trust.
And this Is precisely what Governor
Peabody is asking them to do.
II he wants to be governor for the
benefit OF the men he met In New York

How the Farmer Pays the Enormous
Military Deficit and the Mine
Owner Escapes Without Penny
Of Taxation.
The assessments for 1904 have just
been officially certified to by the state
authorities and the figures reveal a
system Of favoritism .unequaled In the
annals Of this or any other state.
Again the mine owner, who advanced
the money for the national guard
called out by Governor Peabody dur
ing the labor troubles, by buying state
certificates Of Indebtedness to the
amount of nearly a million dollars, is
given a total assessment Of $22,000,-
900, less than one-fifth of the value
Of the properties. The total output OF
a single district for one year is equal
to this total assessment.
Agricultural and livestock on the
other hand are assessed at nearly
their full value or $s4,OO0,000.
Here is the table that tells the
story in official figures:

For all Other Interests.
OF the million dollar deficit the
mine owners pay $4,000. The other
interests will pay $945,OOO. But the
mine owners draw interest on the
money advanced for the troops and
practically pay nothing.
A further examination by counties
shows how this system of favoritism
has been reduced to science. For
example the C. F. & I. Company in
Las Animas county, the great coal
county of the southern fields, has Sc
cured an assessment of $1,179,21O on
property easily valued at nearly If
teen times that amount. In Boulder
county, the northern coal county, the
coal assessment is placed at $215, ,7O5
on property worth millions. Routt
county where there is not a shipping
coal mine is assessed at $42S,600.
