Democratic Legisla-
tors Caucus.

The democratic members of the 18th
general assembly met in Denver Tues
day at the call of the chairman of the
democratic state central committee for
the purpose of finding out where they
were at on the question of the proposed
extra session. The meeting was had
but from the published account of the
proceedings, it looks very much as If
the meeting had failed to throw any
light upon the question as to how a ma
jority Of the democratic members stand
on the legislation proposed for the ex-
ira session.
The members of the legislative body
caucused separately and in the senate
caucus, Senator Cove introduced the
following resolution:
"Be it resolved by the democratic
members of the Seventeenth general
assembly of the state of Colorado, In
conference assembled:
First THAT we approve the motives
and commend the action Of the state
chairman. Hon. Charles u. Ward, IN
calling this conference to consult and
advise together with reference TO the
best interests of the party, in view Of
the current report that special session
Of the general assembly is about to be
convened for certain purposes by the
governor of this state.
Second While werccognize the lo-
gal right and power Of his excelleney,
the governor, under the constitution, to
proclaim the existence Of an 'extraordl-
nary occasion and to convene n special
session Of the general assembly to con
slider matters incident thereto. we deny
that any such extraordinary occasion
AS is contemplated by the constitution
has arisen or exists within this state at
this time.
Third Even II il be assumed that
the best interests of the state will be
subseryed by the enactment Of certain
proposed legislation, the necessity there
for is not at this time sufficiently ar.
gent to justify u special session. partie-
uarly In view of the fact that IL mp.
pears that II will be impossible to rec
oncile the conflicting views Of the mem.
bers Of the general assembly ms now con
stitutcd.
Fourth imposition upon tho
Taxpayers Of the state Of the expense
incident TO n special session cannot be
justified, when II Is remembered that a
new general assembly will convene In
january next.
Fifth There is absolutely nogcner-
al demand among the people Of the state
for special session Of the general Ms
scmbly, but such demand as exists en-.
anates not from the people OF the state,
but from few individuals only.
Sixth II the governor Of this state
elects 10 convene special session Of

that Il Is required by some alleged 'oN
traordinary occasion I, will subject hin

most part, have in view selfish ends az
lone.
"Seventh-In view of the foregoing,
we deem it unnecessary to further att
tempt to agree at this time upon the
form of any specific legislation.
This resolution is pretty plain talk on
the folly of the extra session to come
from democratic senator and, while
the resolution was not voted on, still it
is reported that the action outlined by
the resolution was endorsed by goo J.
ly number Of the democratic senators.
After heated discussion Of tn IL
troubles both caueuses adjourned to
meet July 20, when they will possibly
take up governor Shafroth's proposed
extra session legislation for oous.d1ra
ton and ascC rtain, if possible, what
support these measures would have ut
the hands of the democrats.
7. M. Patterson says the caucus was
a success and shows plainly that the
democrats in the extra session win re-
deem the platform pledges, but Patter-
son occasionally makes a prediction
that fails to make good and by the time
the two democratic factions get through
with their sparring and bluifing caucus
es, they will have agreed upon but
very small part of the Shafroth legisla-
tive paramounts

Now They Sleep Indoors.

George H. Beattie, jeweler in the
old Arcade, and L. e. Ralston, auditor
of the News, have jointly and several
ly decided that sleeping out in the
open isn't all that it has been declared
to be, says the Cleveland Leader.
They were both in deep snooze out
at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin
Falls, the other night, when rum
away team from the county fair city
turned into the lane leading up to the
Beattie estate and came along at full
speed.
Sound asleep, but dreaming of inn
pending danger, Ralston rolled out of
his cot toward the north, and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, oversetting everything in the
way. but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas
ured. Since that night Ralston has
slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the ample
roof of his house on his big planta-
tion.

reformatory, next to being paroled, is
to play in the band.
The band is always limited to %
members, and Prof. Herb, its director,
stated the other day that there are
at least so applications on file firm
inmates who want to toot horns,
But there was one lad at the insti.

sprled Treasure Of s25o,ooO.

A known treasure of $25O,000 was
literally bottled up and buried for all
time at Webb City when the St. Louis
& San Francisco Railway company
finished the work of sealing up one OF
the richest lead and zinc deposits ever
discovered in the Southwest. The ore
was found Immediately underneath the
railroad right-of-way and at a point
from which the Frisco could not move
its main tracks without q disarrange-
ment of its terminals. The discovery
and subsequent sealing up of this min
eral wealth came about as a result OF
O cavern a month ago, which let the
bottom out of the roadbed into the
yawning drifts of the integrity Mine
which had been worked at the 200-foot
level The railroad company built a
temporary track around the 300-foot
chasm and proceeded at once to obtain
q perpetual injunction restraining any
and all mining companies from further
work beneath railroad right-of-way.
The point is at a narrow pass which
makes difficult a deviation from the
old route, hence the Frisco preferred
to haul traffic to going into the mining
business. In filling up the old mine
cave-in the railroad company put deep
drills to work to puncture the earths
crust and determine the extent of the
remaining cave left by the mine drift.
Through these drill holes, a foot in
diameter, when a cavern was opened
up 200 feet below, mine gravel was
poured like sand through an hour
glass, thus filling the drifts up solid
once more. 1t was in drilling these
punctures that are rich ore was found
at depth of so feet above the old
mine levels, which ran out from shafts
100 yards or more away. The zinc
and lead deposits found were of such
richness that old miners declare the
find to be the richest seen in the score
of years they have prospected here.
Some big offers have been made to the
st. Louis & SAM Francisco Railroad
company for the right to mine the new
deposit, but all overtures hA ie been
refused. The small tract of ground is
worth more to the railroad company
than $250,000, and it is not in the min
ing business.
