pure food show which is now open

smelter Company is to Boost the State
and Boom Zinc Mining

Zinc mining in Colorado will be sent
booming by the recent action OF the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, which will install a series of
magnetic separating plants and double
the capacity Immediately of its zinc
plant in Pueblo in this state. The
cost of these various improvements
will be enormous and will be an under
taking of a pioneer nature. nothing OF
the kind on such a huge scale hav-
ing ever been attempted before in the
United States.
The zinc ores of Colorado were
formerly shipped abroad to be treated.
They came principally from Leadville
and the San Juan country. and IL is
only recently that the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company decided to
treat these ores in Colorado. The com
pany has been working in small way
for two or three years to perfect a
system for treating these ores. The
result has been that they have been
buying a great deal of zinc ore in this
state and have raised the price to the
producer of this mineral about SO
ton. Although the cost of labor in Colo
RADIO Is three times as great as in
Europe, the operation of the zinc plant
in Pueblo. Incorporated as the United
States Zinc Company and originated
by the Guggenheims, has sent up the
price of these ores and stimulated
their production to what promises to
be magnificent scale.
Eight times as many men are
required to handle zinc ores as is
necessary to properly treat the same
tonnage where zinc is not present The

taken by its board of directors who
have under way plans for the greater
development Of the zinc industry of
Colorado. 1t is probable that a zinc
smelter will be established in Denver
to encourage the productior~-,f the
northern Clear Creek district ores.
which, with the increased price of
zinc, can be successfully handled.
1t is said that the increased market
for zinc ores will stimulate activity
in a score of mining camps in the
state and have an immediate effect
upon employment of labor. The com
pany is satisfied that the ores in
Leadville, the San Juan country and
various other sections of Colorado are
so valuable for their zinc contents
that what was formerly such low
grade ore that 1t could not be treated
with profit to the miner will now be
produced in abundance to the benefit
of all concerned. The innovation on
the part of the smelter company means
more for Colorado than any action that
has been taken in the development of
its mining industry for many years. A
vast sum of money will be spent in
the development of the zinc industry
and Colorado will become the central
supply point of the world for this metal

BY CONTRACTORS
GOVERNMENT WILL LET OUT
PANAMA CANAL WORK.
CHINESE MAY BE EMPLOYED
Commission Finally Decides On Con-
tract system-President stiIl In
tends to Visit Isthmus.

Washington.-It has finally been de-
cided that the Panama canal viii be
completed by contract. In few days
the commission Will make public n
statement setting forth its reasons for
favoring the contract system. and at
that time form Of contract will also
probably be published showing ex-
actly the sort of document believed by
the commissioners 20 be necessary for
safeguarding the work
President Roosevelt is known to
support the commission in its position
that the work can be done more salts
factoIily by contractors than by the
government. He had a long confer
ence with Chairman Shonts to-day on
the subject, and the various arguments
in favor of the contract system were
discussed fully.
This chanage in building the canal
win in no way affect the employment
of Chinese labor. Proposals for fur
nishing the Chinese labor were made
under such conditions that they can
be transferred to contractors and the
terms can be fulfilled in such a man
ner that the government can give the
coolies just as much protection as 1t
could if the government were the di-
rect employer.
1t Is likely that no disposition will
be made IN the bids for supplying Chi
nese labor until after the return of Sec
retary Taft from Cuba, as he assisted
In drawing the specifications under
which proposals were offered and Is
much interested in the conditions un-
der which the Chinese are to be taken
TO the isthmus.
President Roosevelt still intends to
visit the isthmus this fall. and, unless
there be change for the worse in the
Cuban situation, will probably leave
for Colon short time after election.

God, he still affirmed that that duty
could not conflict with his duty to his
country. He appealed to the Nor
mons to concentrate their efforts to OBJ
tanning land in preference to other
forms of investment. Another speaker
referred to the wonders of irrigation
in the West as fulfillment of a pro-
phecy OF Isaiah.

to John Halpin by the State Board OF
Pardons. Halpin was sent to the peni-
tentiary from Hinsdale county for
murder in 1899. having killed man

extenuating and his conduct has been
SO commendable that the pardon was
made complete. He is now sixty years
old.
