Friends of the family in this com.

their sorrow. Loss by death is hard
at any time and under any circum.
stances. But for those we love to be
cut off by accident seems an added
grief, since the shock of their loss
comes SO suddenly. Those of us who
have experienced sorrow in this form
can understand the suffering of the
widow and daughter and our thought
goes out in wordless sympathy to them
at this time. For such bereavement
words seem inadequate-we can only
feel. and pray that time. which has
softened the rough edges of our grief,

Commenting on the penitentiary in
vestigatlon the Denver News editorial
ly says:
But why do the investigators
stop with the Cleghorn administra-
ton? Why do they not go farther
back?
For several very good reasons.
In the first place, 1t would be al
most impossible to get definite evil
dence of misconduct much farther
back, Every passing year covers
deeper and deeper the traces OF
both good and evil deeds. For an
other reason, If the state found
and proved the worst sort of mis-
management in those earlier days, it
would have its knowledge for its
pains. The liability on a bond
ceases by law in six years. If the
state cannot show misconduct in
that time, the defaulting official
and his bondmen alike go free.
Criminal liability Is outlnwed in
three years. And surely. no one
will contend that the state needs
to seek farther than the Cleghorn
regime for example of how NOT
to conduct the affairs of a peni-
Tertiary.
Isn't the above about as fine a cas-,
of protecting former Democratic ad
ministrations as one ever encountered
Yes, why stop with the Cleghorn ad
ministration? Why not go into tn,
penitentiary record during the Adam
and Thomas administrations. Tn
same system was in vogue and tn,
same facts would be revealed Blu
1t is not the intention of Attorne,
General Barnett to 20 back to the
Thomas regime. 1t would besmircf
some good Democrats and this would
not answer the purpose of the attor
ney general The Herald is not de
Tending MIR. Cleghorn. His system was
rotten. No one can endorse 1t, and
he misused the Republican party
which honored him, in permitting the
affairs of the prison to be conducted
so loosely. But the Thomas admins
tration was along the same lines. The
same system has been in vogue TO,
many years prior TO Cleghorn, and Mr.
Barnett knows it.

Denver, Colo, Aug l6, 1910.
Hon. George Goodman,
Durango, Colo.
My Dear Sir:
saw an editorial in the Denver
Post of last evening in regard to your
progressive city and I would like to
ask few questions of you in hopes
that l might gain the desired informa-
ton which will not only be of benefit
| to myself and associates, but to the
interests of Durango.
We are about to incorporate a COM
pany for the building and operating
of concentrating plants which will use
| a new table for concentrating just be-
| ing placed on the market and which
will save in values from So to 95 per
cent. We are looking around for some
good dumps to work over. Knowing
that there has been some extensive
| mining done in your vicinity | was
under the impression that there ought
to be some pretty fair dumps around
there that would pay us to build one
of our plants to operate on same We
would want dump, or several. that
each would contain not less than 300.
900 tons of low-grade ore. We can
handle ore at profit that will run
as low as So per ton, gold ore pre-
ferable.
Now. Mr.. Goodman, If you are in a
position to give us this information
we would greatly appreciate 1t. We
ask nothing from your citizens as do
nations at all. we furnish the capita1-
TO do our business. All we want is
to know that you have some good
dumps there and we will do the rest
If you have not the Information at
hand perhaps you can give me the ad
dress of some parties who have or
you may hand this letter to some one
who can furnish the desired data In
answering this would like to know
the following main points in the mat
ter:
How much ore in the dump; class
/ of ore; average grade of same: can
electric power be had at n reasonable
figure; can the dump be leased on a
fair royalty and how much; is there
fair amount of water available; and
any other information that would be
OF interest to us.
Thanking You in advance for this
kindness and trusting may hear from
you at your earliest convenience,
beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
L. f. HEUSLEY.
