GREAT MINERAL WEALTH

GREAT MINERAL WEALTH
w. A. Stewart, one of the most
successful and progressive min
ing men Of the west, who is at the
head of the Idaho mine. electrified
his hearers with a talk on our
mining resources. Getting down
to actual facts and figures he
showed that the La Platas have
the richest mines of the west and
told of half a car of ore shipped
to the Durango smelter this
week which melted the owner over
$4,000. He showed how the La
Plata mines paid out $4,000 in
pay rolls, $4,000 in equipment,
and $4,000 for supplies, and pro-
duced over s1,5oo,ooo. He told of
ore which ran to 100000 a ton in
local mines and predicted that
the district this year you'd pro-
duce s4,5oo,ooo.
j. Lohroy Slusher, president of
the Pioneer Construction COM
pany, was called upon to speak
on the Florida Mesa project. In
a clear and convincing manner
he told Of vast agricultural re.
sources Of this district, say
ing that La Plata county had
greater resources to the square
mile than any other section of
the west. He told of the pres
emit condition Of the Florida Mesa
project and was applauded when
he announced that bids would be
opened tomorrow for construction
work on the companys canals. He
said his company was going to
make an active start and keep
the working going on to compile
ton. He asked for the cooper
alton Of local people who can do
much to assist the project by
simply telling the visitors the &C.
tuaI advantages Of this district
The company expects to populate
its lands from eastern states and
greatly assist the growth and
development Of Durango.

This case is an illustration of the gen
tral policy of the present administla-

For two years Kenehan and Barnett
have been raking with a fine tooth
comb to find some evidence of wrong
doing on the part of their Republican
PREDECESSORS. The affairs of this ad.
ministration have been neglected, and
the whole attention of officials has
been turned to the past. The district
judge and the district attorney in
Fremont county are Democrats, but
no legal proceedings have been insti-
iuted. The reason is obvious-there
was not enough evidence to warrant

BOOSTERS ENTHUSE
AT Big FEAST

Thursdays big Board Of Trade
banquet at the Strater hotel was a
great success.
Over one hundred prominent
business men and boosters sat
down to one Of the best feasts ev-
err spread in Durango and until
after the midnight hour they feast
ed and listened TO a flow of eio-
quence and sound logic, which
inspired every hearer to more ac-
tive work for public Improvement.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that a number of progressive
movements should be started at
once. The great mineral resources
Horticultural advantages, irrigation
development Of this district were
ably handled by prominent speak
ers. Our railroad facilities, In
dian relations, local school condi-
tons, and the Fl. Lewis situation,
were explained to the banqueters,
but the main keynote of the whole
gathering was to form a strong
Board of Trade and to lineup the
commercial forces Of Durango for
a constant and aggressive cam
paien of improvement and develop
ment.
Hon. Edgar Buchanan, officiated
as POSTMASTER, introducing each
speaker with some appropriate re-
marks. He also closed the banquet
with talk on what the Board of
Trade has been doing and intends
to do by centraIizing local forces
and cooperating with other COM
mercial bodies.
T. C. Graden, was the first
speaker of the evening, his sub
ject being: Railroads"
He said there was no reason to
believe the Southern Pacific's
proposed line had been abandon
ed, that it was simply postponed.
The people Of Durango would not
drop the proposition here, and
would all work toward the end Of
bringing that road into this dis
tfiot. The people of this city rose
up and supported the railroad
proposition as loyalty as any peo-
pie could, and such spirit will
ultimately result in bringing the
road into this city.
