Printing Investigation.

Washington. - Concurring in tho
recommendation of Acting Public
Printer Rossiter. the President Thurs
day cancelled the contract of the gov
ernment with the Audit System and
ordered its election from the govern
ment printing Office at the end OF six
days.
The Audit System is the corporate
name OF the cost.ascertaining method
which was installed more than a year
ago by Public Printer Stillings. Un-
der its operation the government has
paid out $4,000 for the privilege OF
calculating the cost OF government
printing and binding.
Representative Landis of Indiana.
chairman OF the joint committee which
is investigating the government print
Ing office. says that the Audit System.
as 1t has been installed and operated
in Washington, "is gold brick thinly
plated with the genuine stun. We have
paid for this brick" said Mr.. Landis,
"and before we throw It out we are 60
ing to extract and retain the modicum
of value 1t is gilded with. mean that
you can not run the government print
ing office with all Its departments and
its $500 employees without using some
method IF cost ascertainment. So II
there are any good features in tho
Audit System, we are going to keep
them, for we have paid for them many
times over"
Mr.. Landis Is authority for the state
ment that the joint investigation COM
mittee proposes to take the lid entirely
of and delve to the bottom of the
many charges. many of them definite
and distinct, others of public rumor
character. which eventuated Thursday
in the suspension by the President OF
Public Printer Stillings and his sue
cession by w. s. Rossiter of the CEN
sus bureau.

Greek Miners Struck by Slide Near
Telluride.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Telluride Wednesday night says: Two
Greeks, Gus Angelo and Gus Zangos,
who were buried in q snowslide late
last night at the Lewis property, in
Bridal Veil basin, eight miles from
Telluride, are believed to be dead.
A rescuing party started for there to-
day on snowshoes. but late tonight 1t
had not been heard from.
The Lewis property is operated by
Bulkeley Wells and Tom Livermore
and there are four groups of claims.
The slide which came down last night
struck the hoist house. tearing most
of 1t away.
Two other Greeks were working in
the hoist house at the time and were
carried with the slide part way down
the mountain. They were SO frightened
that they made no effort to get back
to the hoist house or find their COM
panions, but kept on through the storm
and deep snow and reached Telluride
this morning in an exhausted condi-
ton. much frightened by their terrible
experience.
From their report 1t is believed that
their companions were caught in the
building and buried alive. There is
little probability that they will be
found alive, unless the woodwork of
the hoist house has held the snow
which was soft and light. off their
bodies and saved them from smother
Ing. The entombed men are unmarried.
While other smaller slides occurred
last night. the only serious one re-
ported was the Alta, which came down
while the miners were in the boarding
house at supper. A part of the house
was carried away and several of the
men had narrow escapes. but none was
injured and all went farther down the
mountain to spend the night.
The Greek who was unconscious
when dug out of a slide late yesterday
regained consciousness today. 1t is
now believed that he will recover.
The storm has practically subsidized.
but traffic is still tied up. Many of the
telephone lines which were torn down
have been repaired. There is consid-
cradle danger OF other slides in the
outlying camps and precautions are be.
Ing taken by the miners.

Pueblo. Colo.-At Wednesday nights
meeting of the Pueblo Trades assem-.
bly, the following resolution was
passed:
Whereas. The invasion of Asiatic
labor has reached a stage when. un-
less some steps are taken to check it,
It will mean the inevitable displace-
ment OF American labor; and,
Whereas, In the cities along the
Pacific coast thousands of American
working men and women are walking

displacement by Asiatic labor: and,
whereas, In our own city Of Pueblo,
these Asiatic laborers are being en-
ployed while many Of our people are
being fed by the city and charitable or
ganizations. through inability to secure
employment; be 1t

Forestry Discussion.

Leadvillc-That the financial strin-
gency has seriously affected the lumber
industry of the country as 1t concerns
the national forests was brought out
in the discussion of the forest super
visors here Thursday. Statements from
several of the supervisors 20 to show
that the receipts for the sale of timber
by the government have decreased
about fifty per cent.
James A. Blair of the White River
forest stated that one of the most diff
ficult problems in the preservation of
game is to secure protection from
careless hunters. He said that dur
ing the last game season several hun
dred deer were wounded by sportsmen
and left to go into the forest to die.
Another feature is the damage done
to stock by hunters whose aim Is so
wild that the stock suffers. instead OF
the game at which they shoot. Some
times hunters mistake cattle for deer
and he estimates the loss of stock
from this source to be from four to
five head OF cattle on every ranch.
Mr.. Blair thinks the beef yearly lost
in this manner is of as great value as
all the game killed. He thinks a mis-
take was made In changing the law to
are much more careless now and allow
many does and fawns 10 die in the
woods.
Assistant Forester c. S. Chapman
of Washington brought message
from Clifford Pinchot. head OF the for
estry bureau. in which Mr.. Pinchot
states that he is heartily in favor of
establishing game preserves on the ma.
tional forest He desires however
that local communities take the initia-
tive in this matter. In such event the
federal government is at all times
ready and willing to assist in every
way possible to have the game pre-
serves established. Many OF the ma
tional forests are now being made into
game preserves with good results.
The meeting also expressed itself in
favor Of having forest rangers depu-
tized as state game wardens but that
such action should not be taken until
requests had been made from the state
authorities.

INTERESTS.
FAMILY STILL OWNERS
STATEMENT OF ROBERT GUGGEN-
Helm, NEPHEW OF THE
SENATOR.

Denver.-Robert GugGenheim, of tho
famous Guggenheim family. is now in
Denver for few days. says the Re-
publican of Friday He has been in
specting the smelters of the company
in Utah and other western states and
is now en- route East. He is a son OF
Daniel Guggenheim and a nephew OF
United States Senator Simon Guggcn-
helm.
There is no truth whatever in the
report that has been sent abroad that
the Guggenbeim interests have gone
into the control OF Rockefeller" he
stated positively. There was no oc-
casion for such rumor. and it is en-
tirely without foundation. We expect
to go on with the smelling business
as before. Harry Guggenheim, my
brother. is now in Mexico learning the
business, and cousin named Edmund
is making n study of smelling at Salt
Lake City"
There had been report to the ef-
feet that the Grant and Omaha smell
ters in Denver would be reopened in
order to take care of ore shipped in
from Utah points and throughout Colo
rado. After comforting with Franklin
Guiterman here yesterday. Robert Gug-
genheim said this was scarcely prob
able at present, although there is a
possibility that 1t will be done later.
Many of the big copper mines op-
Grated in Utah are TO be reopened soon.
and these will be handled at the Gar
field smelling plant. This will crowd
the capacity OF the plant to a great
extent. but Mr.. Gu6genheim gives IL
as his belief that the Garfield plant
will be able TO handle the ore.
IT the Garfield plant should not
prove of sufficient capacity to handle
all the ore sent ii, We might either
enlarge that plant or open the smell
ters in Denver" he stated. The smell
ters here have been out OF operation
for some time. but have not heen en-
tirely dismantled."
The Utah Consolidated Copper Com
pany will begin shipping its ores the
middle OF this month. and just what
its output will be cannot be stated at
present. The Garfield plant is expected
to develop capacity of 5000 tons per
day. and 1t is ultimately expected to
produce an output of 100. .0O0.0 900 pounds
OF copper per year. Copper can be
produced there very cheaply. at n cost
oil about cents pound.
