We arc glad 10 notice that that
portion of the Cochetopa forest re-
serve lying in Gunnison county and
southwest of the city along valleys
of the Beaver, Cebolla and Lake
Fork as well a. some adjoining por-
tions of Hinsdale and Saguache
counties has been ordered restored
TO entry by September %.
This shows the good effect OF in
telligent agitation and the power of
an aroused public opinion upon the
Washington bureaus. There never
was any excuse for putting a sage
brush country like this into the re-
serves. 1t was along the line Of
PINCHOTS MAuDLIN FOREST
RY not legitimate forest conservation
such as we all favor.
1t is possible some common sense
is penetrating to the departments at
Washington and highly probable
that in addition these restorations to
entry were induced by the recent
agitation of the public land conven-
ton as a peace Offering. Along both
lines the discussion has borne fruit
and needs to be kept up.
We should now move to cut out
half of the Gunnlson and other in
trudlng reserves and open the rest
to IMMEDIATE HOMESTEAD OR
DESERT LAND ENTRY, under
present laws; subject only to gov
ernment officials showing PROOF
that the land is valuable and neces-
sary for forestry or reclamation pur-
poses. 1t seems to us that this is
the desirable and immediate end TO
work for. IL would serve all pur-
poses of legitimate forestry, give the
government more bare ground then
than its rangers will plant in a thou
sand years and at the same time in
practice open every foot of our
county for home building. 1t would
do this because we are confident that
when it comes to a question of proof
we can show that a tract of irrigated
land at our altitude in either hay or
pasture. will return more seepage
flow TO the stream in time of water
scarcity than the finest forest Pin
chot ever dreamed of growing upon
it. No one of course objects to
holding real forests that can neither
be irrigated or cultivated.
The portion of the Cochetopa re-
serve to be restored to entry takes

half the size of the state of Dele

GER

ried to NJ NJ. Foster. Five little
children mourn the loss of loving
mother. Four Of the children are
boys and one a girl.
Mrs. Foster was a Rebekah, and
members Of that order and many
Gunnison friends Of the family at
tended the funeral 1t is indeed sad
TO thus chrsnicle the death Of one
before whom stretched so many
years of usefulness and Happiness,
and TO whom 90 many hands were
extended as the daughter, wife,
mother and friend.

Ote Shoot Struck on Jimmy Mack

Encouraging reports come from
tho Blistered Horn tunnel at Tin
Cup where A. Lejune has been sys-
tematically operating for three years.
Last fall the quartzite formation and
Jimmy Mack iissure was encounter
ed in the 2OOO foot tunnel exactly
where the diamond dill had proph-
esicd. During the winter 240 feet
of drifting to the north has been
done TO catch the rich ore shoot from
six levels of which S750,000 in gold
lead and copper was taken in early
davs "f Tin Cup. This ore shoot has
just been encountered and reports
are that it is fully as rich as expect
ed. The shoot is about 400 feet
across, with 800 feet of stoping
ground above on the dip of the vein.
We have not learned the width Of
the vein at intersection.
Three blind veins were encount-
ered in running the tunnel, which
have been developed by over a
thousand feet of drifts and Slopes
and alone will furnish low grade ore
to run the Brunswick mill for many
years. This mill will be started at
its full capacity in short time
The tunnel can also be extended
to unwater the old Tin Cup mine and
cut it's mineral bodies at great
depth, and this is Mr. Lejunes in
tention for the future
News champion predicts that in
the near future the Blistered Horn
tunnel will be one of the best pro-
ducinC mines in Colorado.

These mines aud ores are truly
curiosity, showing all the rich and
rare minerals imaginable, such as
telluride of copper, telluride of gold
and other rich minerals, which have
caused men Of science and mining
specialists to issue special bulletins
Of same. Many rich and rare speci-
mems from these noted properties
are in the mineral exhibit at Colo
RADIO state capital Many interest
ing specimens Of native telurium
and native sulphur or birthstone
ores are on exhibit. Tho mines
waters carry 10 pounds Of copper
to the ton which can be proiitably
precipltated.
Since October 1906, ten thousand
tons of birthstone ores have been
blocked out from new shaft on the
Vulcan claim. The immense depos-
ite OF birthstone ore is, 800 foot,
proved. with either end not vet
reached. This strange deposition of
ore is from % to 50 foot, thick, of
of solid clean birthstone ore with
a particle Of waste in it. This deposit
will run to average % per cent sui

dred tons of this material now be-
ing in the bins.
This unique ore deposit lying
alongside this rich fissure which
has made this fine ore production,
is believed by practical miners,
and those OF scientific technical
knowledge to be an unfailing sign
of the true fsssre veins on these
noted properties, going to indefinite
and undetermined depths.
Doubtless the company will erect
in Denver, in the near future a
retort or refinery to reduce this sui
phur into sticks for market. the
commercial product being worth
about S45 per ton.

ties is by actual cubic measurement
Go,00o tons of ideal milling quality
ores with an equal amount of the

The three properties upon this

require one shaft and management

now united and will join hands and
circle TO the right and make the
assured success which is now in
