SHOOTING OF JAMES O'ROURKE

BY what authority men specially
deputized by Chief Troyer of the
Duluth police force, assume to ex-
ercise their authority in Superior.
Wisconsin, is hard to understand.
The deputies commissioned must
have been of a very high order of
intelligence when one of them did
not Know that Superior was in the
State of Wisconsin, and out Of the
jurisdiction of the Duluth depart
rnent, until he was told thereof by
Chief Troyer subsequent to the
killing of poor James O'Rourke.
Let US say in the fairest possible
spirit that great care should be
exercised in the selection of depu-
ties. 1t is quite serious matter
to confer such extraordinary powers
upon men who loose their heads on
the first appearance of trouble.
We require our police officers
who serve us in times of absolute
, peace, to be good reliable men,
possessed of such qualifications, at
least, as will ensure their: not be-
ing menace to good citizens; and
surely the requirements should not
be less exacting, when harder duties
are said to be in prospect. The
men appointed as deputies ought to
measure up, reasonably, to the
qualifications for good sense and
judgment expected in ordinary pa
troll men; and men ought to be Sc
lected on the ground of reliability
and good citizenship, and not be-
cause of any friendship for either
side to an industrial controversy.
They should too, be men of whom
something is known by the az point
ing power. - {. - :
The fact that their names do not
appear in any directory ought to be
sufficient to put the appointing pow
er on inquiry as to residence, char
acter and antecedents.
We do. not say that these pre-
cautions were not taken; but it's a
little strange that a deputy didn't
know any better than to come over
to Duluth to report on disturbances
in Superior; furthermore, very
reliable Superior newspaper STATES
that one of the Specials left the
boat and fired on the retreating
men.
The man who was killed is silent.
He was not a resident of the Head
OF the Lakes. What would be his
version OF the shooting is unknown.
The men who were his companions
in the trouble have disappeared as
effectually as if the earth had
swallowed them up. They were
not affiliated with, or members of
any union at the Head of the Lakes.
No one seems to know who they
were. Several days before the
trouble happened the unions. on
both sides of the bay declared posi-
lively against any interference with
crews or ships in commission, and
governed themselves according,y.
Who then were the men that
caused the disturbance and where
were they from? Is 1t possible that
the rumor is true, that the Lake
ID Carriers association have in their
employ an army of thugs, who are
sent to the various seaport towns
to create disturbances, that NAV he
charged against law abiding union
men. in the hope of creating public
sentiment against the unions. It
looks very much like it. 1t Is now
known with absolute certainty tn at
the Western Mine owners did that
j very trick to discredit the Miners
union, and human nature when con-
trolled by greed is about the same

A Cripple Creek Pioneer

Last week there died at Colorado
Springs the man who first discov-
cred gold at Cripple Creek. His
name was Robert Womack, and
that was about all he possessed
when he died. He had been de-
pendent upon sister who kept r
boarding house. When he struck
gold he sold his claim for $500.
Since then some S3O0,000,oO0 has
been taken out Of the Cripple
Creek hills But other men got il.
They generally do. The pioneer
miner is prophet until his visions
Of glittering wealth turn to real
stuff after that he is profit to
somebody else. He goes up into
The mountains where there is sill
euce, where the great rocks frown
and the deep gulches yawn. and
where every day is dismal and lone
ly. and night is black and full
of brooliug fears. He digs and
drills until there is fever in his
blood and in the flaming eyes
which peer into the hole in the
ground. At last his pick turns up
a little shining piece OF metal. His
heart jumps. He strikes deeper
down, there is more gold; the biz
seam in the granit,, is full of it.
His fortune is made-for the other
fellow But blessed be the pio-
neer The world cannot do with
out him. in the mountains, in the
realms Of knowledge or the regions
OF reform.

II. II. Hooker who has some
mining claims over on Taylor
river came in over the Cement
creek trail from his property the
first of the week. He states that
there is much doing there and
many old claims being operated
with the intentions of hauling
their ores to the new smelter at
Bcnna Vista by way OF the Cotton
wood pass road.
1t is reported that the old Goth
ic smelter has changed hands and
the new purchasers are purposing
a reorganization aud starting up
the concentrators and possibly
blowing in one or more smelling

There is much comment relative
to the new smelt-r at Buena Vista

of Charles A keunzel who is presi

Other Side of Strike
Glsnwond Avalanche

Glsnwond Avalanche
No serious apprehension is felt
among the Denver officers and
stock holders Of the Colorado. Y ule
Marble. Colo. since the beginning
of last week. 1t was reported last
Wednesday night that marble
workers of Cleveland, Salt Lake
and Denver had refused to handle
any of the stone from Marble until
the local marble men.
I'VE have received no word from
marble workers here indicating
that material would not be handled
in Denver" said DR.. Z. A. Hughes
yesterday. OF course the haad.
ling of the strike is entirely in the
hands of Col. G. +. Meek. who is
now in New York, aud Col G. +,
Manning, the superintendent and
the Denver men are not likely 10
know the entire situation. From
reports that we have received here
in Denver it seems to be very like
y that the strike will be settled be-
fore the end of the week. One Of
the men who has been working at
Marble came to me this morning
and told me that he thought the
strikers were willing to come back
to work.
o"As for the Cleveland marble
workers refusing to handle the
marble which are supplying to the
United States government there in
order to compel us to yield to the
demands of tue strikers, that is nb.
surd on the face of it. because We
have already shipped to Cleveland
all of the material that We con-
tracted for. rhe construction OF
the ruilding is now in tue hands
of the government"
DR.. Hughes said that the men al
the works had been entirely un-
reasonable in their demands,
ave pay our men 40 per cent
higher wages than any other mar.
bile workers in the country without
exception. We also furnish them
houses in wbi;h to live. The men
want TO unionize the camp, that's
all there is to it, The matter of
the crane workers who refused to
work overtime unless he was paid
one and a half wages for overtime
was only pretense for starting
trouble. If We had paid our men
union wages they would not have
received anything like as much
they were getting when they struck.
If they go back they will have to
accept the union wages,
w. j. Fine, local agent for the
company, is at present out OF town
on fishing expedition in Gunni-
son county. Before leaving town
he appeared to entertain little
doubt as to the outcome of the
strike.
That the Colorado. Yule mana
gers are right in the position they
have taken toward the strikers is
the opinion expressed by l. a.
Strauss, general manager of the
Crystal River Marble company,
whose plant adjoins that of the
other company at Marble.
IL believe in unions," said Mr..
Strauss, "but l think that the men
at Marble have carried the thing
too far. Those men were well paid,
they were we'll housed by the com
pany and they were well treated in
every way. That they have been
foolish enough to strike for higher
pay is due to the efforts of some
agitator or other. The men don't
know what they want. 1t seems

Bright Outlook for Our District
Aspen Times
Taere is a bright future for
Aspen, You feel it-you know it
and you are goirg to do your share
to better your own condition and
incidentally that of your friends
and neighbors. Our people APP
preciste the fact that they have
slumbered too long in the absolute
certainty that after the wheels
were once put in motion the ma
chine would run itself. 1t WAS not
until a number of cogs had been
broken out and the wheels had
almost ceased to revolve that they
awoke to a realization Of their con.
dition.
While some went about "knock.
ing" others set to work rustling
and boosting and it is owing to
this element of our people that
The Democrat. Times is in a posi-.
ton to state that the outlook for
AsPen's material prosperity is
brighter today than at any time
since silver demonetized.
The body blow which almost
killed the silv.r mining industry
turned the energy Of our people
into new paths OF endeavor. which
eliminated in the search for the
yellow metal that has been 40 wig
orous'y carried on, especially this
summer, and will continue with un-
abnted fervor until this district
will Take rank AS n heavy gold pro-
ducer in addition to its production
Of silver and lead.
The development of the resou rces
of this district is in its Infancy.
For twenty miles round about
Aspen the ground has scarcely
been scratched, especially is this
true in in the sections east and
west Of the lime belt. The allah
,orbing idea of our prospectors has
been "silver," To substantiate
this it is necessary to state TIE
well known fact that silver ground
would be chosen in preference to
that of gold where the values in
each were equal or where the gold
value slightly exceeded that of the
silver. There has been more than
ten times the work done on the
point of West Aspen mountain
than in all the gold-bearing area
of Pitkin county. Conditions are
being reserved and the gold belt
from now on will receive little at
tention.
In the meantime something will
be doing on the silver belt. Plans
are being perfected for electrified
ton of the Sniuygler which it is
said, will necessitate an outlay OF
$40, 900 by the Electric company
in the installation of machinery,
laying pipe line from the Hunter
creek hume to the Castle creek
powerhouse and the practical re
construction of the company's
fumes. These plans contemplate
the unwatering of the Free Silver
shaft, which will permit the Snug
Yler mine being worked at depth,
with an increased force of men and
the opening up of several proper
ties on the north that were forced
to close down on account of water.

west, where the agricultural Industry
was not materially affected by the
panic which depressed manufacturers
