st. Paul, Mimi, Sept 12-Great Nor
thern limited train No. |, which left
st. Paul Tuesday morning, was held up
by two mesked men seven miles west
of Rexford, Mont, early this morning.
The passengers knew nothing of the
trouble until they were aroused from
their slumbers by the firing of pistol
shots. The bullets smashed the win
dows. Between shots they could hear the
curses of the men and then they knew
that the train had been attacked. The
robbery was one of the boldest as well
as one of the most successful in the his
tory of crime in wooliest days of the
wild West.
The desperad'oes, who had carefully
planned their attack, climbed over the
tender and pounced upon the engineer.
One of them he'd a loaded revolver
close to the engineers ear while the
other covered the fireman. The train
was brought to standstill and the un-
fortunate engineer was compelled at

Tells Story Of Discovery Of
Vast Quarries In Gun.
nison County
NOW A MILLIONAIRE

Alexander J. Mitchell, the man who
has made Gunnison county famous, was
in Glenwood Thursday and left for
Denver after visiting many of his old
time acquaintances. Mr.. Mitchell will
be known to generations to come as the
man who opened up to the world the
marvellous marble bed at Marble.
Through his efforts capital became in
terested in the great field and up to
date over $l,000,OOO has been invested
there by the Colorado Yule Marble
company. Residents of Glenwood who
went on the excursion to Marble Tues
day expressed themselves as delighted
and amazed at the wonders that they
there beheld. They saw thriving lit
tie community, "A mill in operation, a
splendid power plant, and marble su
perior to that which comes from the
famous Carrara beds in far-away Italy.
1t was in the yeor 1887 that Alexander
j. Mitchell, mining expert, ascer-
tained that he had discovered some
thing better than a gold mine. His
story of these days, in his own words,
is of deep interest.
"When | first went into the country
where Marble is now located,' said
Mr. Mitchell, | was carrying "A transit
in a surveying party. Prospectors were
ont looking for gold and silver. While
] have examined hundreds of mines, |
never invested in metal properties. In
company with DR.. r. II. Kline of Phil
adelphia, l located the marble beds.
We took samples of them and had them
tested. | put in many weary day
there and I bought up every bit of
property there that my finances would
permit. The doctor and l discovered
that our mine was better than that at
Carrara; that the quality of the prod
net was finer and that it would stand
1000 pounds more pressure to the inch
than Carrara.
"The doctor died in Philadelphia
and his interest in the property went
to his heirs. This caused delay of
eight years pending the settlement OF
The Glenwood post., 1907-09-14

the estate. Finally everything was ar
ranged so that we could go ahead, and
you have seen what has been done.
There is not dollars worth of stock
in the company on the market. You
could not buy any if you wanted it.
! have prophecy to make and that is
that there is coming time when Mar
bic will have population of 1000 peo-
pie. The quarries will eventually be
the largest in the world. The demand
is simply unlimited, and we can sell
every block we cut out of that noun
tain and get big price for it. 1t sells
at from 81 to $l2 per cubic foot, de-
pending upon the quality. For blocks
of special purity to be used by sculp-
tors, enormous prices may be obtained
at the present time. Such blocks have
been sold as high as $4,000 apiece.
Now that the new railway, the Crystal
River & San Juan, is in operation,
many of the metal mines will open up
and there is plenty of lead and silver
and little gold in that country.
"Pure white marble such as is found
there is extremely scarce. In the Yer
mont quarries the product is either well
streaked with gray. or wholly colored,
and in the very few quarries where
the white marble existed, it is reached
only by excavating several hundred
feet of inferior stone, and the white
streak is seldom over three feet thick.
On Yule creek this great bed is abso-
lutely all white, the marble analyzing
99% per cent pure carbonate of lime,
and of perfect soundness. Five thou
sand cubic feet day for a thousand
years could be quarried from one of
the company's deposits, and there still
would be marble left.'
Mr.. Mitchell's home is in Terminal.
Calf. He is very wealthy and is the
owner of the yacht, Columbia, which,
in view of its excellent performance in
winning numerous trophies, is consid-
cred the fastest on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Mitchell is half owner of large
shipyard and is largely interested
otherwise both in California and Colo
RADIO.
A hotel of pure marble will be erect
ed at Marble if the suggestion Of Mr..
Mitchell is carried out. 1t will be the
only marble hotel in the world, as it
will be finished inside and out with the
pure white product. 1t will stand as
beautiful monument to the energy of
the founders Of the town.
Further description will be given in
future issues concerning Che quarries
and the great possibilities of Marble

Mill Will Have Capacity Of -Four Hundred Bar
re|s PerDay--Expect to Begin Opera
tions on October or Later
DIRECTORS HELD MEETING WEDNESDAY

Before many weeks are past, New
Castles new industry will be in full
operation. The machinery for the ce-
ment plant which the New Castle Port
land Cement company is putting in,
has all arrived with the exception of
few minor parts, and those are on the
way.
The buildings are nearly ready, and
the machinery is now being put in
place. Quarrymen have also been busy
getting things in shape to keep the mill
supplied with the raw product from the
vast deposits controlled by the com
pany, and before October ! the whistle
will blow and the wheels will begin to
grind out Portland cement.
A meeting of theboard of directors
was held in Glenwood Wednesday,
there being full attendance. Man
ager Coryell was on hand, and after
he had made his report the officials
were very enthusiastic, for already, less
than four months from the time the
company was organized, they see pros
poets for an income from their invest
ment.
The mill which is being put in will
have a capacity of 400 barrels day.
1t will be operated, however, at only
about 200 barrels, as the kilns now be-
ing completed can only handle that
amount. Later on, when things are
running smoothly and there is some
The Glenwood post., 1907-09-14

thing coming in, the capacity of the
kilns and the entire plant will be in
creased from time to time as the mar.
ket demands.
AS a sample of western slope enter
prise, this project shines forth to high
degree. While the stock of the com
pany was offered in the open market,
it was not cut "A single cent to induce
put up the plant now nearing compile
tion was almost entirely subscribed by
local capitalists. 1t is one of the rare
cases where the funds to start a corpo-
rate enterprise were supplied almost
entirely by the men who promoted the
venture.
Besides achieving this, the directors
have managed affairs so that they start
with an absolutely clean slate. There
isn't a cent of Indebtedness on the
present plant, every bit of machiner
having been paid for in cash, ana there
are still enough funds left over to
guarantee good sized pay roll without
taking sales into consideration.
It's no wonder the directors felt
elatcd over their general manager s
report, and the whole district should
feel pride in numbering among its
residents men who have such faith in
their venture that they have foated It
themselves, and their work is well de-
serving of success.

Over a Thousand Chinese,
Japanese and HindO0s
Made to Move
MAYOR CANNOT HELP

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. l2.-Advices
from Vancouver tell of more trouble
on account of the influx Of Asiatics.
The steamer Monteagle that had on
board ia japanese, l49 Cinnamon and
did not discharge its motley crowd of
passengers. This was for the reason
that the mayor of Vancouver was in
formed by the white population that
the minute the yellow men and the ma
tives of India landed there would be
riot, and that it was probably that the
unwelcome bunch would be chased into
the sea should they venture ashore.
The mayor informed the captain and
the captain toll We mate that the pas
sengers could not be guaranteed pro
ashore. The unionists of the city had
determined to resist to the utmost of
their power the bringing in of Asiatic
labor. The situation looked very ser
ious for some little time, as the captain
of the ship at first declared that not
withstanding the feeling againH the
strangers, he would discharge them
from the ship. The mayor and other
city officials consulted the ships Off
GERS and finally reached an agreement
whereby the Asiatics were kept on
board. The ship steamed to Victoria
and the .Japs, Chinese and Hindus will
be landed there. In British Columbia
and Victoria there is growing senti-
ment against the importation fthc
Asiatics and the unions are loudly de-
manding strict exclusion law. Trouble
over the question, it is claimed, his
just started.

NO MORE COPPER FROM BUTTE

New York, Sept. 12.-The Amalga-

down at Butte, Mont, for an indefnite
period. This information comes from
parties who are closely identified with
the company. 1t is learned that the
suspension of operations is due to over
production. Another difficulty lies in
the fact that it is very difficult to get
fuel in Butte and that tremendous ex
pense is cntailed' in getting coal with

that these employees did as they were
told, so convinced were they that re
sistance would be useless. Then the
robbers turned loose with their revolv-
ers and fred about fifty shots to give
the passengers the Impression that a
band of desperadocs had come down
upon them.
The express and mail ear was sepa-
rated from the coaches by order of the
holdups and they then dynamited the
express safe. The exact amount they
secured is not known, but it is believed
that they got away with fortune. In
addition to the money in the safe, the
desperadoes made away with five sacks
of registered mail. Mounting swift
horses they disappeared in the dark
ness and it was some time before a pos
Sc was organized to chase them. The
Northern Pacific officials offer a reward
of $1,000 for the arrest of each Of the
