OUR FORESTRY LAWS.
Movement to Establish State Bureau
of Forestry.

Denver.-The Colorado State For
estry Association is out with care
fully prepared memorial to be brought
before the coming session of the Leg
islature asking for a radical amend
ment of the forestry laws. 1t asks for
the adoption of a forest policy which
shall embrace a state board of for
estry, state forester and depart
ment of forestry at the State Agricul-
tural College as distinct as the depart
ment of horticulture or agronomy.
1t seeks the establishment of sys-
TEN of arboriculture to include state
nursery and a tree experiment sta
ton: the nursery to start utility
trees for farm planting and the sta
ton for testing the relative and actual
value of different trees useful for the
farm.
1t asks for the regulation of the tax
law so that taxation shall not inter-
fere with tree growing. 1t also asks
for a law regulating the Christmas
tree business in order to stop the ruth
less slaughter of young forests and it
seeks 70 stop shipping christmas
trees out of the state without permis-
sion from the state forester. These
are the things it seeks.
In regard to Christmas trees, it is
not intended that the use of them shall
be prohibited by law, but the indis.
criminate slaughter of young forests.
That something should be done to reg
ulate the cutting and waste there is no
question

Apples Plentiful for Export.

New York.-T. E. Dennis of w. Den
mis- & Sons, commission merchants of
London. has arrived in New York after
an extended tour Of the apple districts
of the United States and Canada. Mr.
Dennis expresses the belief. based
upon his observations during the
American trip. that the present season
will be goo'l apple year from the
standpoint of the exporter. He does
no. believe there will be as many ap-
pies barreled in this country as early
reports indicated and he believes that
there will be good export request at
higher prices than many OF the export
wear.

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 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 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 1t is
only recently that the American Smelt
Jig and Refining Company decided tc
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 a
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
action of the company was recently
taken by it's board of directors who
have under way plans for the greater
development of the zinc industry OF
Colorado. 1t is probable that zinc
smeter will be established in Denver
to encourage the production of the
northern Clear Creek district ores
which. with the increased price Of
zinc can be successfully handled.
II is said that the increased marke,
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 it 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 smeter 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

New Serum a Failure.

Paris.-At a meeting of the Inter
national Anti-Tuberculosis Society, DR..
Bernheim demonstrated what he de-
clared to be an absolute failure of Dr.
Behring's experiments. He said he had
examined the patients treated by the
Tulase serum in the clinic of DR.. Kreh-
lat Strassburg, The injections were
very painful and We're of no benefit to
the patients, of whom the greater part
experienced no Improvement while the
condition of others was made worse
Autopsies in some cases showed that
new centers of tuberculosis in the
heart pericardium, lungs and kidneys
had developed during treatment.

coLoRADANS MURDERED.
Lured to Death in Manzane Mountains
New Mexico.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Albuquerque, New Mexico, s.-ys:
James Billingslea, one of the two
Americans murdered in the Manzane
mountains, October 5th, was son of
J. II. Billingslea, route agent for the
Globe Express Company with head
quarters at Alamosa. The other vic
tim, John Mccullough, was from near
Denver. Mrs. Billingslea is still at San
Juan, small Mexican town. the near
est settlement to the place where the
murder was committed. j. H. Billings
lea arrived here to-day from the scene
of the tragedy.
He says his son and partner were
searching for minerals and were
lured from camp ty a tale of lost
mine told by the Mexican boys. Nc
Cullough let one Mexican carry his ri
fies because the horse he rode SHE'D
at firea ms. Billingslea had let the
other Mexican have his pistol for the
purpose of showing him how 1t worked

Gunnison Tunnel Progresses.

Washington. - During September
71S feet were added to the excavated
portion of the Gunnison tunnel, Uncom
pahgre irrigation project, making a to.
tai of 1G,C51 feet. Progress during the
last two months has not been quite up
to the usual standard on this tunnel
on account of the extreme hardness OF
the quartzite rock ir one heading and
the friable and dangerous nature OF
the material in other headings. The
work has reached g point SO far from
the portals that difficulties in ventila-
tion and tramming have increased.
Severe storms during the month de-
layed work on the south canal and
caused loss to the contractor Of ap-
proximately $1,000. Scarcity OF labor
throughout the West is being severely
felt on this project III all lines of work,
at both contract and force account.
