Something of COIOradO's Newly-EIected
Senator.

The newest member of the future
trio-Guggenheim-in addition to be-
ing known by reputation from one
end of this country to the other as a
member of the Guggenheim family
of seven brothers, all of whom count
their individual wealth in the tens of
MILLIONS, will also enjoy the distinc-
tson of being the youngest member
of the most august legislative body
of the new world, he having only re-
Gently passed his thirty-ninth birth
day. He has for years been am
bilious to achieve renown in public
life and he has equipped himself by
earnest study for his coming duties.
He has given to the people of his
state the pledge that he will serve
them and the nation unselfishly to
the very best of his ability, and no
one. who knows the high value he
and his bothers and their father be-
fore them place on their words, will
doubt that he will be truly a repre-
sentative of the state that has
honored him.
The Guggenheim family, it may
also be noted, is one of the best of
the hundreds of thousands that have
come here as lowly immigrants and
won wealth and honors for them
selves by industry and native shrewd-
ness. The founder of the family
he Tni+ n
Switzerland in 1858 and began life as
peddler of stove polish, but soon
branched out as a manufacturer and
later became an importer. To him,
seven sons, all of whom are now liv-
ing, and all multi-millionaires, were
born. All of the boys were thor
oughly educated and all were trained
by the father in business. The eight
chung closely together while the
father was living and later, to this
day, the brothers are as one in all
business matters. When the elder
Guggenheim embarked first in min
ing and then in smelling in Colorado,
the sons were with him and it was
not many years before they became
the acknowledged masters of the
latter industry.
Senator-elect Guggenheim has been
marked by nature and by inclination
for politics. AS long ago as 1896
when he was not thirty years old, he
was nominated for lieutenant-gov-
ernor of Colorado by the then power
full silver republicans, but his lack of
constitutional number of years
forced him to decline. In 1898, he
was offered the silver republican
nomination for governor but, fore
seeing shrewdly the decadence of
that movement, he. declined to run
and also rejected the populist nomi-
nation. He was among the early
silver republicans to. return to their
old party and he set himself to
achieve the senatorship as soon as
former Senator e. o. Wolcott died.
He has now reached the goal of his
ambition.
1t is significant of the advancing
interest that the Jewish people have
again begun to take in public life
that during the preceding 120 years
of the life of the senate, only four
other Hebrews have ever been
elected to that body-Benjamin and
Jonas, of Louisiana, Yulee, of
Florida, and Simon. of Oregon. That
the new element will be welcomed is
undoubted and that all of its repre-
sentatives will be worthy statesmen
the history of their race insures.-

Improvements Promised in Process OF
Smelling Ores.

John A. Potter, of San Francisco,
Cal, has obtained letters patent of
the United States, No. 82l, 189, dated
May %, 1906, for an improved pro-
cess of smelling ores.
The invention consists of a rotative
process of smelling ores, particularly
ferriferous ores, the object being to
provide a process by which first the
smelling may be conveniently accom-
plished on large scale with the use
of fluid fuels, such as petroleum oils
or fuel gas; secondly, with which a
compact and economical apparatus
may be used; thirdly in which the
operation may be substantially con-
tinuous; and fourthly, in which the
cost of smelling shall be reduced to a
minimum, principally from the
economical proportioning and appli-
cation OF the amounts of fuel used
respectively, for reducing the oxides
and for the application of the heat
of fusion.
The invention consists in mixing
the ore with a material which; when
heated, forms with said ore binder
passing the mixture downward
through an open bottomed retort
subjecting the mixture to a gradually
increasing heat as it passes through
the retort, whereby the body of ma
terial so subjected is hardened tC
prevent collapse, and applying d
melting heat to the material emerg
| ing from said retort.

Ancient Copper Mines Still Producers.

While it is true that the United
States reioices over the possession
of some of the greatest of the worlds
copper mines it has not a monopoly
of them. The Mansfield of Germany
is a mine about which we do not hear
much on this side of the globe, yet,
and nevertheless, it keeps p, 260 men
employed; has been turning out cop
per since the days of the Crusades,
and last year produced nearly forty
four million pounds of copper. Moth
ing small about that. Then there is
the Rio Tinto, of Spain. That is an
other of the ancients. 1t has been
worked continuously for the last BOO
years, so that the quantity of copper
it has contributed to this world IS
needs is altogether beyond estima-
tion. One might suppose that after
three thousand years of work the
mine would take a rest and refuse to
be a further contributor to the
worlds copper requirements. Not so
with it. 1t is not only doing as well
as it ever did but it is doing just a
shade. better. Last year, for eX-
ample, it yielded II 100000 pounds of
copper and gave its stockholders in
dividends for the year, S25 share,
which was just dollar for dollar OF
the par value of the stock.
There is no copper mine in the
world with so interesting a record as
that of the old Rio Tiuto, which, as
history tells us, furnished copper to
the Phoenicians in the days as far
back as when Belzoni's mummy was
in the flesh and walked the streets OF
Thebes. There was indeed, some.
thing to wonder over in that mummy;
boxed up, but looking just as he did
when pirouetting down Thebes
streets in the days of the later
Pharaohs- minus only his respiratory
organs-must have been a thought-re
viewing view; but Belzoni's mummy
is less wonderful than mine that
has been turning out copper for
three thousand years, and which is
still making millions of dollars for its
owners. When, last year, $4,000 new
shares Ordinary we're issued, the
par value of which was S25 (95,) the
shareholders took all of them at 1915
(e63) a share, that is to say, paid
thirteen times par value for them.
That shows what they thought of
their Rio Tinto stock.-L. A. Mining

The most important mining sale in
years in this vicinity was concluded
last week, when the Roberts & Leahy
Mercantile company sold their So
mine to w. P. Black, of Salida.
Colorado, for 5000. Five claims go
in on the deal, the So, Sc, Emerald,
Carlos and 80. Mr.. Black is director
and general manager of the Shaw
NUT gold, silver and copper mining
company, of Salida, and the Grand
Prize company of the same place.
He was here Il few weeks ago en-
route to Clifton, on business. He
happened to drop into the Roberts &
Leahy store, and saw some of the ore
from the IS, which interested him.
He inquired about the ore and was
shipped. He returned to Salida, con-
suited his partners and returned last
week, and inspected the mine, and
the deal was made. Mr.. Black told
the Liberal that he would return as
soon as he had attended to some
pressing business, and start deep
work on the property. He has
plenty of money back of him. His
advent into the Shakespeare camp
means more for it than any other
man who has been in the camp. The
S5 mine was located by Matt Doyle
many years ago. He sold it to the
Shakespeare mining company, which
worked it some six years ago, and
shipped an abundance of good ore.
The Shakespeare company faded
away. Its manager left, and its
creditors never could get in COM
munication with its officers or own
ers. The company owed the Roberts
& Leahy mercantile company about
So, 500, and through legal proceedings
the company secured title to the
property to pay the debt. For sew
eral years, until the redemption
period expired, they did little more
than the necessary assessment work.
Last spring they concluded to go to
work on the property and get square.
The property soon had a credit
balance, and since then the money it
produced has been put back into the
mine in development work. The
shaft is 25O feet deep, and there are
several drifts, and everywhere there
is an opening it is in ore. There was
no barren zone in this property, as is
so often found, and sulphides have
been in evidence from the surface
down.. The So is a winner, and its
development will prove large sec
ton of country. Every man who
knows anything about the Shakes
peare camp has claimed that what
was needed to show the camp was
deep work, and Mr., Black Is going TO
do the work,-Liberal,

SOME FAMOUS ARIZONA
FAKES In MINING.
They Are Brought to Light by RecOIIec
ton of Those Who Recall Flower.

AS a result of the arrest of DR..
Flower for fake mining promotions,
4. r. Coleman, of FL Pasc, has been
looking up the records of some fake
promoters in the southwestern field,
also going little into the connection
of DR.. Flower with this sort of work.
He writes:
In 1898 and '99 Arizona commenced
her wonderful mineral development,
which gave to such men the oppor-
tunity of working on the credulity
of eastern people whose imaginations
had been aroused by the highly
picturesque tales of Arizona's fabu-
lousy rich mineral deposits. DIR.
Flowers first promotion was the
Spentazuma Copper company, which
claimed to own land in Duncan, Ora
ham county; this was followed by the
Buenos Ayres Mining company, the
ing & Ore Purchasing company, and
scores of others. He succeeded in
duping 5000 people out of over
81 ,OOO, 600.
w. F. Wernse, of st. Louis, is an
other who operated chiefly in Ari-
IONA, and is now serving term at
Iron ton for the fraudulent use of the
United States mails. He is supposed
to have secured some 100000 in the
promotion of over twenty-five fake
copper companies. The principal
ones were the Jack Tar Copper COM
pany Jefferson Copper company and
Mammoth Copper company.
Douglas, Lacey & Co. swindled
hundreds of other people. They
promoted the Iron King Extension
Copper Mining company, etc. The
successes of Flower, Douglas & Lacey
and the w. F. Wernse gang show the
absolute necessity of stringent regu,
lation and the enactment of laws in
the southwest making impossible
such barefaced swindling. Everyone
appreciates the harm done to legiti'
mate mining by such swindlers as
Flower. Outside of the fact that
they generally take away money
from those who can least afford tC
lose, they place a stagma on all min
ing enterprises, keeping away CAPT
tai, which otherwise might be in
vested in mining. Review.

A big strike of gold silver ore was
made last week in Meadow Valley
Wash, Lincoln county, Nevada, about
two miles from Delamar, which has
almost depopulated that town. Sam
piles from the outcrop of the vein run
from $3.50 to 5000 in silver and from
$50 to $50 in gold. The veins are
large and well. defined. Claims are
being staked all over the valley and
it is thought that new mining camp
of wonderful richness will be opened
up. The veins have been run over
for more than twenty years, but no
one believed that there was value in
them

A Leadville special to the Denver
Mining Record says: The richest car
of ore that ever came out of Lead
vile was recently shipped from the
Bessie Wi'gus mine. The car con-
tanned only twenty-five tons, but the
check of the American Smelling and
Refining company, after deducting
all charges, was for over $4,000
The ore contained only a trihe of
gold, but ran very high in silver.
The smelter made the unusually high
charge of SO a ton for treatment,
owing to the risk of handling such
ore. Assays gave as high as $4,000 a
ton. The ore is a chloride, and came
from the vein which traverses the
Bessie Wilgus, Reindeer and other
mines. More than S14 ZOO, 900 has
been taken from this ore shoot. A
car of twenty-five tons in the early
days once yielded $4,000, but silver
was then selling at S1.25 as compared
to 81 cents, the price at which the
WilguS ore was settled for.
