THE COLORADO Z SOUTH
ERN. HAS A GRIEVANCE Z.

The misuse of family Communication
railroad tickets it would seem, is
giving the Colorado & Southern
much concern. The principal com.
plants come from the Clear Creek
district, according to circular IS
sued by T. E. Fisher, general pas
senger agent of the company to the
agents Of the road. 1t asserts that
with the cooperation OF the conduc-
tors and agents, it is hoped to break
up the practice which it is claimed
Is demoralizing the local rates of the
company In order to prevent the mis-
use of these tickets, the ultimate re-
suit will be the entire withdrawal Of
family commutation ticket rates. The
company would dislike to resort to
such but it feels bound to protect its
interests in some manner or other
and may do this by restricted use
of the favor granted the public.
The thoughtless misuse of this
form of transportation it Is hoped
will cease. In calling the attention
Of the public to the matter the com.
pany is actuated solely from motives
of benefit to the public generally. 1t
adds that this announcement may
serve as a caution to those who
have Intentionally, and perhaps for
profit, been scalping these tickets.
1t is hoped they will cease FROM
such conduct if they care to continue
to receive the benefit of these re.
duced rates.
The matter has been brought to the
attention Of the management of the
road so often that it has determin-
ed to put stop to the irregular
practice. The purpose of putting on
sale the class of tickets mentioned
is to enable families to make more
frequent trips within a specified
limit rather than be obliged to pu:.
chase single tickets at full rates.
The family Communication tickets are
sold for the use only of the purchas-
er, his wife and unmarried children
bearing the family name, and on cer-
tain districts also one female domes-
tic servant. Conductors are cautioned
to carefully scrutinize the tickets of
this class and if the privilege is
thought to be abused will take up the
ticket and return it to the general
agents office, where the passenger
may report his grievance, If he has
any.
The hope is further expressed that
the honest and fair minded users of
these commutation tickets will sup.
port the efforts of the company to
break up trafficing in these favors,
or it may be necessary to withdraw
them entirely from sale.

AReo FIRES GO OUT.

The fires went out under the fur.
naces at the Argo smelter yesterday
for the first time in thirty-two years,
and the old plant which has played
SO important a part in the state S
mining history has permanently clos
ed down. A few men are now employ
ed in cleaning up the grounds, and
then the smelter as an active going
concern will pass into history.
The winding up of the last work
at the plant was unaccompanied by
any demonstration and came in the
regular routine of business. The
ing down Of the plant last fall and
the furnaces were kept going until
all of the ore on hand was smelted
and all of the accumulated contracts
had been closed, The Boston and
Colorado Smelling and Refining com
pany. which owned the plant, has
already been dissolved, and the prop
srty..is in the hands of board OF
trustees.
The Argo smelter was first, erected
in Black Hawk in 1867. and was in
operation at that place until 1878
when 1t was removed to Denver
Since that day it has been in con
tinuous operation. N. P. Hill, one Of
the pioneers Of Colorado. was the
controlling spirit in the company In
it's early days.-Saturday's Denver

1t is not altogether the thing to
prefer advice to a community other

creek into one grand sewer conduit.
Cover it and sell the surface to some

profitable or not. And this does not
mean the mines were closed for lack

profitable or not. And this does no,
mean the mines were closed for lacl
OF ore or values in the same. That
| too, may be misunderstood. 1t car
undoubtedly be proved that all old
time record properties are as good II
not better than when work ceased
II. that is so, one might ask why
are they not engaged in taking ou,
ore? The times are better-that is,
treatment charges. ETC., are more rea.
sonable than in past years." ETC.,
Now, be 1t understood many things
operate against the continuation of
extraction Of ore. Company money or
the individual purse could not carry
out the desires because Of the lack
Of funds. 1t costs money to operate
even paying mine. Where the
ground is extensively opened it re-
quires big outlay to keep these fill
ed with men. 1t Is not expected that
every foot OF the ground pays. Much
is required to keep the pay ore con-
stantly in sight to be drawn upon.
The bigger the mine the larger the
outlay. Hence, If the ore bodies are
not large and merely fair in returns
it can be seen that only the best
management can produce results OF
profitable nature.
The price Of gold has not fallen,
not to an appreciable extent. Expen-
ses are lowered. The ore is there.
The mine is opened, and all else far
more favorable than in the old days,
when less ore, higher charges and
the price Of gold about the same
yet, here are actual treasure vaults
with no one to reap that which is
SO conspicuously shown. Little can
be done in the world of commerce
without the yellow metal. All values
are based upon it. And, how anyone
knowing this, can let pass such a
good thing as operating a property
producing the very basis of wealth,
is psychological mystery.

AN AUTHORITY ON
THE SITUATION.

Manager Wiley, of the sampline
works at Idaho Springs is saying
things concerning the grade of ores
of that district passing through his
hands. According to him, on the au.
thority Of the Idaho Springs Gazette,
the grade Of the ore has fallen In
the past few years, due to the fact
that the bulk nowadays consists OF
concentrates from the mills, the re-
suit of crushing various low grade
crude ore from various mines. These
low grade products, when combined
In the result with the scattering
high-grade shipments, make 1t ap-
pear that this is low-grade camp.
Some years ago the average product
of the idaho Springs district ranged
above $50 per ton; today it Is be-
low 500 per ton, according to the
samplers books. 1t is well to state,
however, that when the average was
above $50 per ton, the Old
Town, in Gilpin county, was
shipping to the Idaho Springs mar
ket fine character of smelling ore;
Silver creek had several mines work
ing that sent down a high-grade pro-
duct, and there was a number of
other producers that helped mater
tally in the general average. There
seems to be lethargy in the higher
grade mines today, with the result
that less money is being secured for
the tonnage. Another item, and it is
very material one, too, and that is
that since deep tunneling has been
in vogue many are playing waiting
game, pending the time when the
water will have been drained by the
deep bores and much of the cost of
mining eliminated.
Miles upon miles of mineral terri
tory have scarcely been touched by
the prospector's pick. In the older
mines, however, except in rare In
stances. the surface having been
worked out to a greater extent or
less extent, the low-grade problem is
on and must be met. In Mr.. Wiley's
opinion, If some method of treatment
could be devised by which S. ore
could be treated at a profit, Clear
Creek and Gilpin counties would
greatly prosper. This, however, is
problem for the metallurgists other
than the smelters. 1t is well to state,
in this connection, that the lowest
grade ore of these two counties are
many times higher in value on the
average than are those of Utah,
Arizona and other sections, and it
seems that some solution to the prob
lem treatment at higher profit, or
lower cost, should be attempted. The
high grade ore pays handsomely under
present conditions; the lower grade
ores are doing very nicely under con-
centration methods of today; it is
the very low grade, the s. ore and
there is lots Of it, that must needs
be attended to before these two
counties will come to their highest
pitch of prosperity.

s. w. TYLER, MINING Ex- . TO-.
PERT, DIES IN DENVER

Sidney Williams Tyler, geologist
and metallurgical expert, known
throughout the world of mining, died
yesterday of stroke of paralysis
which he suffered a week ago at the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. Pier
pont Fuller of 2379 Bellaire street
He was removed from the home of
his daughter following the attack
which resulted in his death, to DR..
Courtney's sanitarium. His age, 70
years. and weak heart hastened his
death.
Mr.. Tyler is credited with having
been the discoverer of silver in Gil
pin county, his discovery being what
was afterwards known as the Cyclops
mine, one of the heavy producers of
the county.
During his mining career in Colo
RADIO he was associated with Senator
N. P. Hill in his numerous mining
ventures and was also adviser of SEN
ator E. O. Wolcott during his activity
in the mining industry. He was con-
nected with other well known min
ing operators of the state and his
services were sought in all parts of
the West. He was recognized au-
thority on mining law and was in
strumental in formulating the apex
law. 1t was he who first held that
limestone deposit impregnated with
mineral was a lode and his opinion
statute. He solved many intricate
cross-vein problems that troubled the
mining men of this and other states
for years and otherwise aided in plac-
ing mining upon scientific basis.
| Many Of his theories and opinions
anent mining were ridiculed at one
time and considered inconsistent with
precedent and the then existing OPT
Mons. but later many of them proved
correct and are observed at the pre-.
sent time.
| He was connected with a number
Of the big mining suits Of the West
notably one at Butte in which F.
Augustus Heinze and cher big inter.
ests were battling for some of the
richest copper bearing ground in the
world. He was also concerned in liti
cation over big mining estates in
Utah.
Mr.. Tyler was graduate, Of Am
fherst college in the class of 81. He
afterwards went to Germany to study
receiving the degree Of Pr. D. a,
Goetteingen, and that OF E. NJ. al
Freiberg. .f
He was born in Windham, Conn.
Dec. 2, 1S41. A son, Sidney Benne,
Tyler, mining engineer Of Central
City. and two daughters, Mrs. Pier
pont Fuller and Mrs. Burton F. Davis
survive him. The funeral will be held
from the Fuller home tomorrow af
ternoon at o'clock. Interment will
be at Paramount cemetery.-Monday's
