Now that the tariff matter has

back into normal condition.
There has not been question of
greater moment before the Ameri-
can public for many years which
has absorbed greater interest .ban
the one Just passed upon in this
extra session of congress held over
especially for tariff revision, 1t
was n long and acrimonious fight
wherein partizanship was many in
stances lost sight of when it was
learned that the promised tariff re-
vision was tending upward and
favoring the trust syndicate and
manufacturing interests ignoring
the consumers for whose benefi;
the revision was ordered by the
president, according to the pledges
made by the repu blican party,
electing him with the expressed
understanding that lessened tar
if rate be PLACED upon consumers
commodities. President Taft Gull
ed halt upon the proceedings and
gave them to understand that un-
less they were disposed to make a
general downward revision his veto
would annul the whole thing. After
several weeks prolonged discussion
n compromise was effected which
is claimed to have been decided
victory for the president and the
public generally a.e inclined to
give him the honors due for stick
ing to first principles in demand.

people must be carried out that a

Beavers Take rleadOw

When farmer is too soft-heart-

state for damages and get away

Moore, who lives five or six miles
northeast Of Gunnison, has about
800 acres of hay land that he has
been planting for n number of
years aud through this land there
runs n stream. That is, it used to
run through, but II busy bunch OF
beavers have built dam across il
aud the stream hns become II lake.
The bottom of that lake would
grow about 20 acres OF hay if it
were not for the beavers aud that's

MINING NEWS OF
OUNNISON COUNTY

Rinehart Holloway who has
been working his mines in Rus,ler
gulch came down Monday aud went
to Gunnison On business. He has
cut an ore shute which is promis-
inz and from which he expects to
get shipping ore soon,
An evidence of returning pros
perity to the state is seen in the
fact that our c,al mines and coke
ovens are once more running up to
full capacity and are obliged to
continue working seven days in
The week to keep up with the de.
mand for fuel needed to supply
smelters, steam plants, and railway
engines all over the country.
There was never time in our
recollection when larger outpu:
from the coal mines OF this vicinity
has been Witnessed. Two and
tkree.trsins Of empties are brought
daily hy. double header trains
and as many go down the kne load
ed to the distributing point at
Gunnison.
Captain Archie Mcleod, one OF
the largest owners in the Blaine
mining company. returned from
Cleveland last week and reports
active operations to be startad mt
once upon his company's works.
The first thing in order will be the
repairing of the dam which the
high water has damaged, and the
completion of the mill aud the in
stalling Of slime tables to save the
fine mineral which goes over the
Willy concentrators. a. Miller OF
Gunuison, who built the mill is to
have charge OF this work and has
gone to Gothic to start operations
The company has arranged to be.
gin the proposed crosscut tunnel
which will be something more than
two thousand feet in length before
the vein is reached Mt depth of
tver five hurdred feet below the
lowest level now used. The pro.
!. posed tramway which was surveyed
last summer is to be built during
season or while the new tun-
mel is projecting in order that the
mill may be kept running constant
ly after the ore is reached by
the tunnel.
Mr.. j. j. Ferguson and family
of ST. Louis are stopping at the
Elk Mountain Hotel for few days
outing. Mr.. Ferguson is president
of the Usonia tunnel which is now
under the ownership of the Good
win Consolidated Mines Company
and is located above Gothic where
big bore has Leen started to cut
under the old Copper Queen basin
mines. 1t has been something like
thirty years since the first mineral
was discovered in this basin which
is practically inaccessible for wagon
roads or teams by which the ore
could be gotten down the steel
mountain sides. The project as
now started is to cut into ans
under the mountain until the ricl
Gre shutes found at the surface are
reached, thereby making the ore

1t is thought that when the Ce.
ment creek wagon road is complet-
ed to Italian mountain and Taylor
park that it will result in the open
ing of sufficient new business to
support n stage and express line
to Dorchester. The railroad com
pany will doubtless pm. up new

there will probably be lot Of tar
if started when the ore begins to
come down the new road from all
the mines which will make this
their shipping point. The traction
engines which have been purchas.
ed to haul the ores from the En-
terprise mines should make one or
more round trips TO the loading
place at the railroad each day
With from one to two hundred
rock miners employed in the mines
of the two districts, this town and
Gunnison should receive benefits
in n business way OF at lenst ten
Thousand dollars each, every season
from the traffic turned this way.
The ranch people would also he
greatly benefited in the fact that
all the bay,and farm produce re-
quired in mining operations, carried
on over there would be obtained
from Jax Cabin and East river
ranchmen as also the beef consum
ed by the miners would naturally
be purchased from cattle raisers
in the same valley. We hope to see
work begun on tins road before this
month is ended and that each in
civic ual in the country will not
only boost for the road but con-
tribute something towards its
building.
