EDITORIAL MEETING.

A more pleasant or enjoyable out
ing was never accorded the Colorado
State Editorial association than that
shown the members Of the state
press by the citizens OF Idaho
Springs Monday and Tuesday, when
the midsummer meeting was held.
Idaho Springs is the prettiest min
ing town in the state and no one who
has visited this beautiful spot can
contradict this statement. 1t is a city
of magnificent homes. clean shady
streets. superb climate, and is popu-
lated by citizens whose hospitality
and whole.souled generosity places
them in a class by themselves as
entertainers.
The editors were welcome to any
thing Idaho Springs had to offer that
would make their short stay OF two
days extremely enjoyable. The masni-
ficent club rooms of the Elks lodge
was Mt their disposal for the business
meetings and the liquid refreshment
emporium, which dispenses invigorat-

zens rendered a banquet to their
guests and fed them to their fill of
the best the market afforded. The

caves were also thrown~open to the
editors, and my what cleansing.
The meeting in Idaho Springs this

town, it will meet with unanimous

We want to congratulate Water

forceful address before the members

merce Tuesday evening when the
matter of bringing water into the
county for mining and milling pur-
poses was up for discussion. Follow
ing the opinion OF the city attorney,
who took the position that the city
could not engage in the sale of wat
err as commercial enterprise even
through the supplying of water to op-
orators meant the revival and con-
tinuance of our only industry; that
private capital had the right to un-
dertake the proposition that com
munity Of 1000 or 5000 people could
not, Mr.. Johnson criticised and con-
demned a system Of government that
countenanced and upheld condition
so detrimental to the people as q
civic body. When a company or cor
poration OF six or eight members
have rights and privileges denied a
municipality of 1000 or 5000 people
1t does seem ridiculous to shameful
degree.

The business men acted wisely in
protesting to the city council against
the granting of a license to a street
carnival outfit that wanted to show
a week in this city. An aggregation
of this kind is invariably composed
Of bunch Of undesirables who are
a menace to the community during
their brief stay. A carnival company
not only takes bundle of money out

The death of Senator Frye OF
Maine, means another Democrat in
the upper branch of congress. The
legislature and governor of the state
are Democratic and it is not likely
that the Democrats of Maine will re;
peat the fool-hardy act OF their po.
litical brethren in Colorado and fail
to fill the seat. This vacancy will re-
duce the Republican margin in the
senate, making it 81. The Democrats

Governor Shafroth has made his
appointment of judges fer the new
court Of appeals. Tulley Scott is pre-
siding Judge and his associates are
Alfred R. King, Stuart D. Walling,
Edwin w. Hurlbut and Lewis w.
Cunningham. The law creating the
court of appeals provides that the
appointments must be confirmed by
the senate. The supreme court is
required to turn over certain
business for the new tribunal to act
upon and should the supreme court
decline to do this until after the ap-
pointments are confirmed, the COVER
nor will have to call the senate in
extra session. Should this be found
necessary, it is certain that some OF
the governors appointees would fall
of confirmation.
Gilpin observer., 1911-08-10

Those editors who are members OF
the Direct Legislation League and
also the Editorial Association who
find their positions conflicting when
the matter of agreeing upon the price
to be charged for publishing initiated
and referred laws comes up before
either organization for discussion
should relinquish their membership
in one or the other. Whenever a
man attempts to run with the hares
and hunt with the hounds, he is
bound to find it more or less out OF
accord with consistency.

HOW 1T COULD
BE ACCOMPLISHED

After all has been said, the metal
finds are in advance of their treat
ment. The miner has uncovered SO
much Of worth, science has been slow
in evolving formula for their saving.
1t is true that chemistry has deter
mined their presence, but the process
is in most cases too technical for
practical application. Then again,
some Of the metals are in advance of
their use, on any large scale. The
chemist has experimental till he has
evolved a process for the extrac-
tion of any particular metal from it's
envoironment. This may have requir-
ed much time. Some Of the methods
may appear quite simple, others are
intricate, not forgetting that in the
satisfied with the discovery Of the
method and rested there. There are
exceptions, of course. Now, in prov
ing their presence they failed in
their extraction on a large scale in
as simple a manner as possible. Ex-
istence or their presence in piece
of rock is not enough. How best to
secure the metal for use has proven
an obstinate proposition. So many
things must be considered when it
comes to separating them from their
associates. Did every rock hold a sep
arate metal, or were a single metal
contained in a particular rock, it
would not require SO much skill in
securing them. The chemical consti-
tuents of rocks vary and some met
ais may be found in a great number.
1t is this variation in the make up of
the ores that prevents successful
treatment possible. Again, the for
mula for extracting gold or silver
from any rock containing them is not
the same. 1t is SO with the other
metals. Every metal requires a diff
ferent treatment in order to retain
it from it's fellows.
An ore holding pyrites, gold, silver,
copper lead, zinc or other metals and
all in quantity sufficient that it were
waste not to preserve all, has given
the metallurgist a bad quarter of an
hour. 1t Is accomplishment, but, in
most cases too expensive, slow, and
uncertain. 1t has been repeatedly said
in the Observer what was expected OF
the metallurgist. Concentration should
be the first problem to solve. A
system that would eliminate the rock,
leaving every particle of the content
os the rock. is suggestion here
reiterated. This should be part Of
the mine equipment, right on the
ground, in fact. over the shaft, so
that when the ore comes to the sur
face it may be dumped into the PRO-
cess without further handling. That
which is retained after the dirt is
eliminated is all the metal content Of
the rock. Chemistry should evolve a
plan for the elimination of the dirt,
whether 1t be pure silicate or it's var
iations, or lime and its variations.
This established, each metal should
be taken up by itself. It seems most
feasible that this be accomplished
chemically. But no matter how, pro-
vided it is easy. This worked out,the
miner can be depended upon to keep
the system busy.

Thirty years ago less than one nun

that at the present time there are over
three hundred thousand earnest students
of the national language. The most inn

League however is net connected with

for the future. In practically all the
Irish centres Gaelic or similar societies
are already IN existence.
In July. 1898, the Gaelic League was
organized. The idea Of founding such
body originated, Il IS claimed, with John
MacNeiu. He it was who preached the
subject TO Or. Hyde and Father OBrow-
ney. another enthusiast, who died in THIS
country some years ago. AT the meeting
at which the league was founded there
we're only seven men present. DR.. Hyde
was among them. and was elected the

seven men were mostly young. Very few
Of them we're known outside Of their own
Immediate circles, nor did they enjoy any
great amount of the prestige or influence
which academic or social position be-
slows. But they possessed other and
more important qualifications, for they
were earnest. hopeful and strenuous.
At first meetings were held and classes
taught only in Dublin, but soon the
movement was pushed into the Irish
speaking districts and the campaign be-
gan in earnest. This advance did not
come without discouragement, however
AS the movement was looked upon by
what is known as the upper classes"
with disapfroval a sentiment when Is
