Mines Exceed Farms In Output.

According to report of the geologi-
cal survey issued from Washington, a
remarkable increase is shown in min
eral production since the beginning of
the new century. The percentage of
increase of the output Of the mines of
the United States in the past nine years
far exceeds that of the farms.
This includes all of the principal min
eral products, representing an annual
output of $1,000, 900, 900, an advance
of more than 100 per cent in less than
10 years.
Director Smith of the survey said the
increase was the more impressive when
compared with the recent statement of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, that
taking 100 as the basis for the value of
the farm products of 1899, those of 1907
had increased to 159 and those of 1908
to 165.
Assuming the mineral product of 1899
to be 100, as in the case of agriculture,
that of the 1907 mineral product was
204, or more than double.

Another Judge for lst District.

The Idaho Springs Gazette claims
there is a movement on foot to have
another judge appointed by the governor
for the First Judicial district owing to
the wide territory the one judge has to
cover. 1t is also understood that the
number of counties in the First district
is either to be decreased and added to
another district to be created or the
district to remain as it is with Adams
county added. The Gazette advances
some very good reasons for objecting
to the ddition of Adams, valley coun-
ty, to this district. 1t says:
THE suggestion of adding another val
ley county to this district is a serious
mistake as, in our opinion. is the sug-
gestion of two judges for one district
where it is possible to arrange other
wise. 1t is undoubtedly true that more
frequent terms of court would be con-
venient, but this end can be attained
as well with one judge and curtail-
ment of the territory of the district as
by enlarging it for two judges. If
Arapahoe county were cut off and put
with Adams in the formation of new
district and Grand added to Routt
County district which is not busy, there
would remain three counties in a COM
pact, closely associated territory. Four
terms of court, annually, could be held
in each county and great loss of time
in travel would be saved the judge and
attorney. At present the two mining
counties, Clear Creek and Gilpin, are
joined with larger farming counties in
senatorial and judicial districts in such
way that they have practically no voice
in the selection of officials.
"This not only denies representation
to the people of the two counties but to
the same extent, robs the mining in
dustry of representation. While this
arguement does not apply technically
in the case of the selection of judge to
interpret the law, it does in a general
way relate to the selection of jurists
specially informed in the laws relating
to the industry of the district. The
legal fraternity recognizes specialists in
law and it is therefore legitimate for
the people to observe the same discrim-
nation in the selection of judge. This
is rendered the more difficult by the en-
largement of the district by additions of
territory in which the industries and
manner of life are wholly different.

Antoine Bonatti Passes AWau.

Antoine Bonatti, one of the best known
Austrian citizens in the county, passed
away at the Tent sanitarium in Denver
Monday at O'Clock. Miners comsump-
ton was the cause OF death. Deceased
went to Denver two weeks ago to
receive treatment for the malady, but
effects of several months illness had
left his health in such condition it was
impossible for the physicians to afford
him any relief. He coughed continuous
ly and death ended constant suffering.
The remains were shipped here Tues
day evening.
Deceased was born in Tirol, Austria,
in 1869. He came to Gilpin county from
Germany in 1893 and since that time
has worked in the mines, only changing
his vocation short time ago when he
went ranching. He was a member of
four lodges-the Maccabees, Odd Eel
lows, Columbus and the Foresters. A
wife and eight children, who have the
profound sympathy of the citizens of
the county, survive him. The funeral
will be held Saturday morning at 1C
o'clock from the church of Assumption.

Sid Joyce Injured ID PeWabic.

Sid Joyce, well and popularity known
young fellow of Russell Gulch met with
very serious accident yesterday at
noon in the Pewabic mine. He with
several companions were just leaving
the drift preparatory to coming to the
surface for lunch when large boulder
fell from stope above. The rock crash
ed through the timbers with which it
came IN contact, carrying everything
with 1t. Joyce was struck with the rock
and timbers and was badly crushed
about the legs and body and sustained
severe fracture of the skull. His
right leg was SO badly mashed at the
ankle, the foot had to be amputated.
James Simmens and several others
who were in the drift with Joyce at the
time the rock came down had a mira
culous escape. Semmens was walking
ahead of Joyce just few feet, which
was all that saved him from serious
injury if not death.
The injured man was brought to sur
face and removed to his home. Drs.
Asquith, Froid and Fouts were called
and performed the operation. Joyce's
condition is still serious and the real
extent of his injuries are not known at
this time owing to the fracture of the
skull. 1t is not thought, however, that
his injuries will prove fatal.
Joyce is about 81 years of age and
single. He has host of friends in the
county and the accident causes general
sorrow. That he may recover is the
wish of the community.

Saratoga Has Fine Ore.

Without fuss or feathers work on the
Saratoga lateral is progressing rapidly,
and Manager John Owen asserts that
it is his belief that within a very
short distance an ore BODY will be un-
covered which will thoroughly prove the
property and justify his prediction that
early in the new year large force of
miners may be employed. The Saratoga
lateral leaves the Newhouse tunnel at
a point approximately $1,000 feet from
the portal of the big bore, the lateral
having been pushed distance of 24Oo
feet. At this point there has been en-
countered a splendid streak of copper
iron between eighteen and twenty inches
wide which shows values of 7.8S in gold,
the tests for other values not having
been made. 1t is most pleasing to find
such values at this depth as they are
much better than was found in the
workings above when the property was
demonstrated to be a mint and a big
dividend payer. While extending this
lateral, and within the last few working
shifts, a weekly production of from
sixty to eighty tons has been produced,
the product being stored. 1t is not the
present intention to raise or stope on
the new ore body for the present, but
to continue the lateral for considerable
distance east, after which production
will be made from the ground developed.
