from competitive independent smell
ters there 60 to IS per cent more than
is being paid by the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company's plants in
this state.
I'VE, as a committee of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress, are intending to
probe this matter of injustice to the
mine owners of Colorado at the hands
of the smelter trust until we have the
evidence in hand fully, and it is our
intention then to ask every state
through the congress, to pass restric-
tive laws which may afford mine own
ers some measure of relief"
The committee will recommend that
legislation be secured that will re-
quire the ore treating plants to settle
for consignments on the net instead
of the gross value of the ores. This
change has already been brought
about in Utah, and as result of which
the increased receipts for ores are SO
great as to permit the shipment OF
millions of tons of low grades previ
ously cast upon the dumps.

DEATHS.
W. II. GRIBBLE PASSED
TO THE GREAT BEYOND

w. II. Gr1bble, one or the pioneers
and best known cattlemen of Fremont
county, died at his home. 119 Macon
avenue, about 6 o'clock Wednesday
evening OF Bright's disease. after an
illness of a couple of weeks duration.
Deceased had been unwell for some
time and on Tuesday was brought to
Canon City from the ranch on Currant
creek, seventeen or eighteen miles
northwest of town, in order that he
might have the advantages of better
medical attention than was possible
at the old homestead. The malady
from which he suffered, however, had
made such inroads upon his strength
and vitality that nothing could stay
It's progress and he grew gradually
worse in spite of the best professional
skill and attention.
Mr.. Gribble was born in Clinton
county. Missouri. November 6. 1s43.
and came to Colorado with the gold
seekers in 1860. Denver, although
only a cluster OF cabins at that time,
was the destination OF the majority
years ago. and Mr.. Gribble, like hun
dreds OF others. made II a rendezvous
until he could decide upon his future
course.
For several years after his arrival
in Colorado he experienced all of the
vicissitudes and adventures common
to the pioneers OF that day. He was
engaged for a considerable period in
teaming about Denver and Black
Hawk, which were about the most
prosperous communities In the Rocky
Mountain region during the Civil war
period. There were many hardships
to be borne by the pioneers Of 1860.
for then as now the search for gold
was a phantom with many followers
and but few favorites. Only those OF
determined will and resolution re-
mained to fight out the battle OF life
and carve out for themselves de-
served success.
In February. 1870, Mr.. Gribble was
married to Miss Mary c. Flesher. who
survives him. 'Of this union six chill
dren were born. only three of whom
are now living. viz: Mrs. Emma Rog-
ers. Mrs Lulu Walker and Lonnle
Gribble.
For thirty years the family home
has been on the ranch on Curant creek
where MIR. Grib&ie devoted himself to
the cattle business. in which he was
very successful. Mr.. Gribble owned
residence property in town. but he
preferred to live on the ranch where
he had spent so many years OF his
life.
Mrs. Kelly. a sister OF the deceased.
who lives on Beaver creek. arrived
here Wednesday and will remain until
after the funeral to pay the last sad
rites of respect to the memory OF the
dead Other members OF Mr.. Gribble's
family besides Mrs. Kelly. consist OF
