There is probably no mining
section in the state that has been
cursed more than that of Gunnison
county with the mismanagement
of her mining enterprises. Ninety
percent of the failures are due to
the fact that some ignorant mana

take charge of operations and who

wrong way and throwing time and

question as to tn, fact that there
are many good mines in this state,
as elsewhere, which are not worked
out and many others that only a
wait to be discovered and develop

There is no: IL mine in Gunnison

1t is to be hoped that the fal!acy

seen by those interested and who

MISTAKES MADE IN MINING
Why Many Pay Times
Don't Pay

1t is n matter Of interest to learn
that another large body of ore hns
been encountered in the old Snug
gler mine of Aspen. the particulars
of which we quote below, as given
in the Aspen Times.
The most recent and probably
the most extensive ore body within
this distIict was discovered in the
Smuyyler mine. The new strike
was made in the north end Of the
ninth level, in territory adjoining
the Della S. property and is in
virgin ground. The new deposit
continues to increase in size with
every successive round OF shots,
and is said to extend to the surface
Should future development prove
this true. the most important strike
made in the Aspen district will
have been effected. Mining men
state that there is enough ore in
sigLt to operate the mine twenty
yesrs. As il 10 at the present time
the amount of ore shipped to the
smeiter from this one ore body a.
lone will exceed 100 tors per day
and some day, the tonnage will be
much in excess Of thet amount.
The ore il characteristic OF all
high grade silver-lead ore found
in the Smuggler, being native sill
yer in a matrix OF lead.
The local off ,ials of the Snug
2ler company are reticent and
would not confirm or deny the re-
ports which have been cirulated
since the strike was made. How
ever, The Times secured its infor-
nation from very reliable source
and takes pleasure in announcing
an event which will virtually create
a new Aspen. and hasten future de
velopment By ether companies own
ing property in the district.
The number of men now employ
ed on the mine is close to 200, and
this number will probably be iu-
creased materially within short
time.
.. NJ. Hyman and Charles j.
Hughes, Jr., are probably tho most
heavily interested co-owners OF the
Smuggler company. MIR. Hughes
was indorsed for the United States
senator by majority OF the coun-
ties which have held primaries
This mine has been great pro-
ducer of high grade silver ore for
more than twenty years and it is
claimed they have sufficient ore to
keep up production for a similar
periud. This is but another in
stance of many, wherein new ore
bodies have been discovered in
many of the mines OF Colorado
which supposedly, have been work
ed out. We have for instance seen
this in the old Doctor mine, where
a, good ore as was ever mined in
the properly, has recently been
opened up, after a lengthy period
Of idleness. The main drawback
to cur mining industries, lies in the
fact that nine tenths of the enter
peises going are under the manage
ment OF impractical and incompe-
tent persons and Whereby the ore
l,odies are lost in the mines or are
wasted when mined by throwing

CAUSE OF DEFEAT.

The Denver Republican arriving last
night is in line with The Heralds edi-
torial on another page. as follows:
The defeat can only be accredited
to one particular act which extended
over the entire campaign. 1t started
with the Republican state central com.
mittee arbitrarily throwing out the
best organized working committee in
the city of Denver that any party ever
had. It was a committee of men that
delivered the votes. 1t followed the
action of the state central committee
by its approval at the state conven.
tion, and when these Republicans de-
cided to place a ticket of their own
in the field the state candidates even
before they were invited to go on the
ticket held a caucus and resolved not
to go on the ticket put up by these
Republicans. The result was that the
members of the committee considering
that they had been placed without
the ban of Republican politics so far
as state politics were concerned acted
accordingly. 1t was another case of
the 'spewed out" helping to spew out
the spewers. This accounts for the
result in Denver"

Morse is a
Model Prisoner

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Charles w.
Morse. who yesterday was sentenced
to fifteen years In prison at Atlanta,
Ca, has thus far proved a model
prisoner, according to officials at the
Tombs. where he has asked no spe-
cial privileges, nor been granted any.
The rule in prison is that any inmate
whose personal means permit him may
purchase special food from a vender
or have his meals sent in from the
outside. but Morse has not availed
himself Of these opportunities. When
the vender visited his cell a few min.
utes after he arose this morning Morse
sent him away with a wave OF his
hand. and little later when the regu.
lar prison fare was doled out to the
prisoners. the former multi-millionaire
accepted two slices of bread and tin
dipper Of coffee which was passed
through the slot In his cell door. He
ate every crumb Of bread and drank
the dipper Of coffee. He had CHEEKY
greeting for his son, Harry. when the
young man called on him early in
the forenoon. Morse retired early last
night and slept soundly until awaken.
ed when the hustle of the day began.
