CACHE CREEK PLACER MIN
ING co. HAS CLOSED
DOWN FOR THE WINTER

Commenting on a recent statement
of the Granite Mining Journal that
the Cache Greek placers had been
closed down for the winter season,
the Salida Mail in its last issue says:
THE Cache Creek placer is the
property that causes the muddy con-
dition OF the Arkansas river and gives
untold trouble and annoyance to the
one hundred thousand or more resi-
dents down the valley, who are COM
PEELED to drink impure water in con-
sequence OF its operation. The most
important part OF the news item pub
iished by our contemporary is the
fact, not mentioned in the article.
however, that the proposition was not
paying one for the lessees. or they
would not have disbanded for the
winter. If 1t does not pay them, why
is It that the owners, q number of
aliens, living in a foreign land, are
90 persistent in polluting the stream
and seem willing to spend vast sums
to Eight the state OF Colorado and the
citiea along the river In their effort to
clear the stream Do they exact 10

lease that the returns all 20 to the

tract enough gold to bring suficient

lesseesf This case was due to come
up for hearing in the district court
at Canon City in November, but 70
still on the docket. because, so they
say, there was so much on hand that
this case could not be called. In be-
half OF the Salida committee. Messrs.
Craig. Davenport and Bode, It is only
fair 20 say that they have been very
active in the matter. and the Salida
attorney. Mr.. schoolheld. has secured.
tabulated and has in readiness, all
the evidence obtainable from this
section Many trips have been made

Canon City and Pueblo. but there
seems to be something always in the

brought in the name OF the cities OF
Canon and Pueblo. Il is not up to Sa-
Ida to take the initiative-in fact
they could not. the way the case is
docketed- 1t would seem. in view Of
the fact that both Of those cities de-
pend on the Arkansas for their water
for domestic use, that immediate ac-
ton would be taken. It is needless
10 say the public is out of patience
and with good reason. Why the at
torneys that represent those cities
DO not push the matter is difficult to
understand, but as the case is passed
up by each succeeding session OF the
district court It would appear that
there must be some good reason with
which the average person is not IA

TO FRESHEN FLOWERS

If cut flowers from the florists or
garden are placed as soon as possible
in cold water in which a little mild
soap has been dissolved, making suds,
they will keep fresh much longer than
usual, and will even freshen up
wonderfully if they have already
dropped. Also, if one wishes to keep
roses in bud for some time, a soft
thread should be tied snugly around
the bud, and when ready for use, even
though several days after picking,
the rose will be found as snug a bud
as when first tied up, and, moreover,
will not shatter as soon as ordinary.
