Good Ore at Enterprise

John Larson, uperintsndeut at
the Enterprise mine in Taylor
park, is applying modern methods
to that property and with a large
force is driving the uprdise TO No
, tunnel a thousand feet above and
at the some time developing and
blocking out ore. Recently new
body of high grade gold ore was
opened and is being prepared for
shipment in the spring The big
flow Of water from No. ; tunnel, a
mile into the main range, IS used
twice Tor power purposes as 1t tcomes
out of the mouth. First it is
dropped loo feet or more upon
machinery which turns the big
fan, and then several hundred feet
further down the slope is again i'm
pounded upon a wheel which gen
crates power for the air drills. 1t
is economy Of expense like this that
is making a mine at the Enterprise.
Mr.. Larson is an experienced Aspen

The new coal mine being devel-
oped on the LaPlant ranch at Mt.
Carbon is showing better all the
time.
The Columbus shaft has pene-
trateted six and half feet of dom
este coal, equal TO any that Baldwin
ever produced. Through courtesy
of John Webb, superintendent, this
Office has tested sample, and it
burns splendidly with good heat
and very little ash. Between iif-
teen and twenty men are employed
but this week operations were sus-
pended few DAYS waiting the ar
rival of General Superintendent Jos.
Watson to decide where permanent
buildings and entrvs should be
started.
1t certainl y seems as though the
location of faulted coal strata on the
foot hills nearer Mt. Carbon has been
discovered at last, and that means
other big mines in the vicinity.
The l.aPlant property, operated by
the Green Canon Coal Company,

A Asplendid audience greeted Miss
Elizabeth Rouch, dean Of the domes-

RADIO Agricultural college, who spoke
in Gunnison last Thsrsday night.
Masonic hall WAS crowded with
ladies OF various clubs, their g~ssts
and even a sprinklins Of mere men
Indeed. Miss Rouch remarked that
the men are a. a rule more interest
ed in seeing that their daughters
get . modern education in good
housekeeping than are mothers.
Mrs. G. ID Martin, president Of
the Isabella Tourist club introduced
the speaker, who proved charming
and gracious lady aud who held the
attention of her audience for an
hour and half of conversational
talk. Miss Rouch explained the five
days short ooarsss in good hosse-
keeping which the agricultural col
lege will hold in connection with
farmers institutes at thirty FIVE
Colorado towns during next year.
These courses are free except for the
very nominal charge of 8 for each
lady attending Two assistants will
help her teach coeking, sewing,
nursing, care of children, domestic
economy and other subjects which
are regular courses at the Fort Col
Inns college
Domestic economy or the art of
good housekeeping is the greatest Of
arts, and yet for centuries we have
taught our girls Latin and Greek
and higher mathematics and every
thing else on earth to the total ex-
clusion and almost contempt for the
central part OF life itself Domestic
economy means securing the best
things for the least money. The
speaker, could not of course, in the
short time at her disposal detail
more than few of the helpful les
sons. but she gave enough to greatly
interest the ladies' and to make
many wish Gunnison could secure a
short course during the year 1909.

 The crop in this section have been, up until two weeks ago( the best we have ever seen, but the dry weather coming on then caused them to fall off considerable. During the past week good rains have fallen all over the county but 1t is thought that they came too late to do much good.

TOUR
JUDGE TAFT TO MAKE A TRAVEL
 ING CAMPAIGN.
Repub Candidate wfn Devote His Time Principally to Those states Which National Committee Con-
 sfders Doubtful.

Middle Bass Island. Ohio. Sept. B. William H. Taft will make travelling campaign during the month of Octo- Der. devoting his time principally to those States which the National Com mittee may consider doubtful, if the ideas of hoth the candidate and his National Chairman, Frank H. Hitch : cock, as expressed today. are carried out.
 Mir Taft had let 1t be known be- Core he left Hot Springs that he rather favorable activity for himself during the campaign but he indicated then that the matter was one for the de- cisionl of the national committee and the decision of that body had been that the candidate remain in cincin- natl to conduct dignihed canvass.
 MT. Hitchcock has changed his mind" was the expression of Judge Taft after the hours conference he had today with the national chair man. This change was undoubtedly because of the pressure which has been brought to bear on him in the demands for speeches and the presence Of the candidate, especially from the West.
 Mir. Taft indicated that although the greatest demand for his presence had come from the West. and would not preclude his appearance In Eastern States and that when the tour was de- cided on, 1t would undoubtedly reach both East and West.
 Aside from getting together on this Important phase of the situation, Mir. Hitchcock gave the candidate a de- tailed account of the reports he has been receiving from national. State and local leaders from all sections of the country. After the conferences and before leaving for sanduslxy, Mir. Hitchcock had this to say of politics:
 T had q very fine talk with Judge Taft We talked for long time about the demand that he go on a speech mand for him in the West, in fact all over the country, q demand that is so strong that don't know whether 1t is possible to refuse it. Party lead CTS thought it best that he should not go personally Into the campaign. but the situation is different now from what 1t has been. Party organizations want to see him. The trip that Judge Taft made through Ohio has convinced all that he has made good as cam. paigner. It Is possible therefore, that by October l, he will go out to make some speeches. He would naturally go into some of the doubtful States. ai- though could not at this time specify the States. I am personally inclined to favor the idea that the judge go out because the people want him.
 T also went over with Judge Taft the situation State by State, telling him of the reports I have received and what the party leaders have said. There is no doubt that he will win If we make the right kind of campaign and keep at 1t"
 Wade H. Ellis. who will tender his resignation as Attorney General of Ohio to become Assistant Attorney General at Washington, was here to- day to pay his respects to MT. Taft.
 Judge Taft took his usual morning fahing trip. but with no success.
