MINES, MINING and the MARKETS
NEWS

The attacks on the railways during the past two years will go down into history as one of the strangest manifes- tations of the folly of the public and its propensity to follow demagogues that We have ever had The transportation industry is the one great exception, in that the arrangements have steadily worked along the true principles of economic progress, and steadily reduced the cost of their product to the public and at the same time improved their ser vice. That they hay not made exhor- bitant profits is shown clearly by the rate of dividends paid and the condi- tion they find themselves in at pres ent They are the first victims to the false prosperity We are fostering in this country.
 "When it is said that the gross earn. ings of the railroads of the United States increased from $l,ll2,0S9,773 in 1897 to $2,5s5,913,O02 in 1907, one ob. tains some idea of the enormous ex- pansion of the railroad business in ten years" observes the "Wall Street Journal editorally. "That expansion is one of the marvels of Amreican busi- ness. The increase in gross earnings, measuring the expansion of the trade Of the United States, amounted to about l30 per cent in ten years. In the same time the population of the United States increased only 20 per cent and the mon- ey in circulation less than 70 per cent. Is it any wonder that the railroad prob- lean has assumed dimensions so colossal as to make the heaviest demand upon the technical skill and the financial abil- ity of the world l'
 It was to be expected from time to time there would emerge forcible re minders that the stock market was talk ing too much for granted as to the busi- ness recovery. There has been very substantial recovery in security prices, and the quotations for great many is- sues recently represented an extensive discounting of better conditions to come. That the country is not within striking distance of what the stock market ex- poets was brougth out in the Pennsyi- vania railroad exhibit of its earnings. The statement of that great freight ear rier showed only month ago an enorm- ous reduction in gross receipts which, compared with the decreases reported m tho earlier months of the year, was not diminished. The Erie B summary of its returns for the year, as reported to the state railroad department at Albany, showed deficit of $l,600,000, and the company fell short that amount of earn ing its fixed charges. The American Car < Foundry company reported re ceipts for the quarter ending July 3l of precisely one fourth the total for the same quarter year ago. The statement of bank clearings for August compiled by the trade agencies also served 10 check the enthusiasm over the belief that in six months this country would recover from the distressing conditions of year ago and present as strong front as if disaster had not over. whelmed the great fabric of credit.

saw IT IN THE GLENWOOD POST
From Wednesday's Daily Post.

From Wednesdays Daily Post.
A great many people read
newspapers to their benefit and
yet fail or refuse to admit and
appreciate that benefit. They
take advantage of the news con-
tanned in a paper and govern
their financial and other actions
accordingly and overlook the
value to them oftentimes in dol
lars and cents of small squib in
the daily press.
Not so with a couple of law
yers in Glenwood, who last even
ing turned to the columns Of the
Daily Post. Yesterday the Post
told of trip which Attorneys
Darrow and Gentry would make
to New Castle today for the pur
pose of taking the deposition in
the Coryell-Lawson case of Geo.
Doepping, who is thought to
be dangerously i'll with pneu-
monia. The same issue of the
Post gave synopsis of the de-
cisions handed down by the Colo
RADIO supreme court Monday af-
ternoon. Among these decisions
was one holding against Judge
Shumate in temporarily remov-
ing District Attorney Gray and
substituting Charles W. Taylor in
the case. BY reason of this de-
cision and the knowledge these
gentlemen gained of it through
the Post they were saved disa-
greeable trip to New Castle.
On May %, 1904, Perry C.
Coryell and John r. Lawson en-
gagged in an alteration in Doep-
pings barber shop in New Castle
and later in the public street, and
when they had finished Lawson
carried in his leg a chunk of lead
from Coryell's artillery.
1t was generally conceded that
the difficulty arose over labor
troubles and feeling ran high at
New Castle. which at that time
seemed to be under the control
of the Miners union.
Mr.. Coryell claimed that Law
son had followed him in threat

enlng manner, that numerous
threats had been made against
him and that he was obliged to
shoot in order to save his own
life, which at that time was men
aced by Lawson.
Coryell was arrested, but be-
fore the case came to trial Dis
trict Attorney John L. Gray, who
had made careful examination
Of all the facts and circumstance
connected with the case, conclud-
ed that conviction could not be
had and when the case was call
ed he entered nolle prosequi
The attorneys for Lawson then
filed an affidavit claiming that
the district attorneys action was
wrongful if not worse and Judge
Shumate, upon consideration of
the affidavit concluded that the
nolle of the district attorney was
nJudlcious and appointed
Chal les w. Taylor as special dis
trlct attorney to displace Mr..
Gray in that particular case, and
the latter, upon investigation,
filed an information against Mr..
Coryell.
District Attorney Gray at once
by his attorneys made application
10 the supreme court of the state
for writ of certiorari and a re-
straining order against Judge
Shumate and Special Prosecutor
Taylor, which was allowed pend
ing "A consideration of the case by

If you know Of an item or piece

pile was made, the beets weighing
in at 1860 pounds and weighing
out at 1925 pounds, the loss be-
ing 335 pounds, or SO pounds per
ton.
"A long silo, such as is usually
made by the farmers, weighed in
at 10.994 pounds and weighed out
at lO,075 pounds, showed loss of
919 pounds, or 157.1S pounds per
ton.
'From this we would conclude
that the long and rather high and
wide silo is the best construction
and that it pays to moisten the
soil before siloing, if it is as dry

who saw the opening of the silos
agree that the best and freshest

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

The Avalanche throughout the
Hughes-Starr trial made many in
situations as if to accuse Starr,
Hughes, Darrow or some one else
of having some interest in the
coal mine in question with steal
ing coal from the government or
violating some federal law declar-
ing that the matter might yet be
referred to the government au-
thorities.
What Darrow did say was that
the Midland Fuel company con-
sisting of Coryell and Kalbaugh
had mined coal from this proper
ty, but that the mine having been
closed down because of litigation
and other troubles Mr.. Hughes
purchased the property from the
government. The mining of coal
on government land was custom
ary in those days and Mr.. Dar-
row did not say or intimate that
Hughes, Starr or any one else had
been stealing coal.
If the Avalanche wishes to ac-
cuse anyone of such crime we
have no objection to them doing
so, but it might be well in that
connection to name some one
who actually had something to do
with mining and handling the
coal. But look out for the big
stick. Henry.

on inquiry the county surveyor
furnished an estimate for a steel
bridge across the main span with
wooden joists to the amount Of
',13 500. The lowest bid opened in
the state engineers Office on the
third instant. for steel truss with
wooden joists on REINFORCED con-
crete abutments was $13,391, and
for like span with steel ioists the
lowest bid was 1883 For
bridge like the last mentioned,
but on tubular piers, the lowest
bid was $14,129, and for a steel
truss with wooden joists on tubu-
lar piers the least offer was $12,-
600. From the above it will be
seen that the first sum mentioned
represented 9. very close estimate,
and that the rumors to the effect,
that the plans for that bridge
called for an outlay way above
the one appropriated by the coun-
ty commissioners were unfound-
ed. The board at the meeting first
mentioned passed a resolution to
provide for sum of $4,000. The
state appropriation carries 81, 900.
For the good and the progress of
the neighborhood affected, it is
hoped that the bridge will be built
now in one or the other of the
above styles.

LOCAL DEMAND STRONG

Denver Union Stock Yards,
Feb. 3.-Prices on good cattle
advanced Zoe to 15c here on Mon
day of last week, but later most
of the advance was lost, owing to
heavy receipts and sharply lower
markets east. Good beef cattle
closed about steady, with a week
ago and feeders and stockers
about dime lower. Good steers
sold at 81 to $3.50 with bulk of
good killing cows at $3 to $3.65

ply was light. There was IA good
strong demand for the good
heavy dehorned steers, but light,
plain stuff, such as most of the
offerings last week consisted of,
was slow sale on account of the
poor outlet at eastern markets.
The good steers offered during
the week sold at "a to $4.45, with
medium kinds mostly at $3.50 to
$4. Receipts today were 1000
head, mostly cows. The demand
was strong and all sold early.
Market strong to dime higher
than last week.
Hog supply was very good. De-
mand was light early in the week
because of heavy runs preceding
week, but there was considerable
improvement later and the mar
ket closed in good shape. Hogs
are now selling around 1925 to
$4.3O.
Receipts of sheep and lambs
were very good and under strong
demand everything offered here
found ready sale. Prices are
steady to firm compared with
week ago. Good fat lambs sold
at $500 to $6.65, ewes at $40

NO VERDICT
JURY DISCHARGED

Aspen, Colo, Feb. 3.-The fate
of Jonathan Taylor has not yet
been decided. The jury filed into
the courtroom at 3:45 o'clock
this afternoon and reported that
IA verdict was an impossibility.
Judge Shumate, seeing that
there was no hope for verdict,
discharged the jury. 1t was re
ported that the jurors stood ten to
two for conviction. Nine Of the
jurors, it is said, voted to convict
the prisoner of murder in the
first degree with the death penal
ty. and one of the ten was for
murder in the second degree. The
other two were firmly convinced
by the testimony that Taylor did
not kill his wife, and that she COM
mitted suicide.
Judge Shumate reset the case
for trial March 18.

THE BEET s1Lo,

In dry season it pays to mois-
ten the soil before SLIDING beets.
That is the conclusion reached by
Prof. Fritz knorr of the agron.
omy department at the Colorado
Agricultural College, as result
of siloing experiment conducted
this winter. The beets were put
in the silo October 22d and 23d.
at which time full account was
given of the manner in which they
were covered. They were hauled
out January 9th and 7th. The re.
suits are given by Professor
knorr, as follows:
"Four different kinds of silos
were made. There were two
small silos, containing 3,s75
pounds and 4,065 pounds. Prev
ious to covering the beets in the
first silo the ground was fairly
well moistened with water. The
object sought was to prevent the
dry earth from taking the mois.
ture from the beets.
"The result was, the wet silo,
which was weighed in at 1875
pounds, weighed out at 3,795
pounds, the loss being 80 pounds,
or Alb pounds per ton. The dry
silo, which was weighed in at
4.O65 pounds, weighed out at
$3.50; loss, AIS pounds, or 2O4
pounds per ton.

Again Brought to Glenwood.


For safe keeping, Johnathan
Taylor, accused of wife murder,
was brought from Aspen to the
Garfield county Jail in Glenwood
Monday night. He made affidavit
that he believed that his life was
in danger in the Aspen city Jail,
where he was confined. This is
owing to the prejudice against
him, fostered, he alleges, by Sher-
if Begley, a relative by marriage
to Taylor's dead wife. He said:
81 understand that the jury
stood ten or eleven for acquittal
and | am sure that at the next
trial l will be acquitted. Why, /
am no more guilty than you are
of the crime. 1t is all case of
spite and malice. There were
witnesses that they did not dare
to call for the state All l want
is a square deal"
Taylor appears to be in fine
health notwithstanding the fact
that he has been locked up for
many months. He seemed to be
in cheerful frame of mind this
morning.
In the Jail with him are John
Halford and Charles Morton, who,
this morning were committed to
the penitentiary for perjury by
Judge Shumate. Halford was
asked whether any further effort
would be made to save him from
prison.
"No,' said he, eve go to Can
on City
"Well," interposed Taylor,
who appeared to entertain SYM
pathy for the two unlucky pris-
oners, eff you go there with
clear conscience, it won't be so
hard to bear
Bail was fixed in the sum of
$4,000 by Judge Shumate in the
Taylor case. The prisoner says
that it is impossible for him to
secure surety in this amount. The
next trial is to begin March 1S.
Taylor was brought to Glenwood
by Coroner Irving Everett of
Pitkin county, who, on account OF
the relationship between Sheriff
Begley and the prisoner deceas-
ed wife. assumed the duties of the
coroner at the trial.
Taylor seems to have been mis-.
informed concerning the attitude
of the jury in his trial. Authentic
reports are to the effect that the
jurors stood ten to two for con-
viction. On this point today's AS
pen Democrat says:
