Virginia Senator Has Enough

Special to The Times-Dispatch

Especial to The Times -Dispatch
Washington, D. c., April AFTER an
informal caucus OF Senate Democrats
to day, the statement was made that
Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia.
would be chosen Democratic leader OF
shat body at another caucus to bu
held. probably within the next few
days.
There Is no special hurry about the
matter. 1t was explained by Senate
members. to The TimesDispatch cor
respondent, and no reason why precipt-
tate action in the selection OF leader
to succeed former Senator fernando
d. Money, Of Mississippi, should be
taken. 1t was stated that Senator
Martin has pledges from about twen-
ty-fv members of the Senate for his
election as minority leader, and as tho
total Democratic membership of the
Senate is only fortytwo, his election
seems to be certain
But there are certain features which
might tend to make Senator Martin
hesitate before taking the leadership
of the minority. II is being said here
that his colleagues are urging his APP
pointment because ii would help him
in the senatorial campaign now going
on in Virginia, and that with ,Ais
honor given him now, 1t would be used
to insure Senator Martins return t.
the Senate for another term.
There are Il few members who are
opposed to the Virginia Senator taking
the leadership, but when they go over
the lists they find that IL they SHY
away from Martin, Senator Bailey may
take a hand in the matter. and WITH
the support he already has-about tho
same number of members who asked
him to withdraw his resignation a
short time back--virtually make him.
self the Senate leader.
TO prevent this those who are OPP
posed to Senator Martin would prefer
to lend him their support than to line
up with what is known here as the
Bailey crowd"
In other words, between Martin ana
Bailey there are some members Of the
Senate who would prefer Martin, and
the latter with the votes he already
has pledged, seems almost certain 10

TREATMENT RATES RESTORED.

The rate war growing out of the
competition between the United
States Reduction and Refining COM
pany and the American Smelling and
Refining company for Cripple Creek
ore was Of short duration. The
former made cut on high grade ore
that was promptly met by the latter.
The new schedule, however, was in
force only two weeks, and the old
rates are now in force. None of the
Independent companies was involved;
in fact, because the ore producers
have been entirely satisfied, the in
dependent companies have been able
to renew contracts at remunerative
rates, although the recently issued
annual report Of the United States
Reduction and Refining company
makes the complaint that in spite of
offering treatment at rates that are
not renumerative it has been unable
to get an adequate supply OF ore.

WILL CYANIDE FAILING DUMP.

John Q. Macdonald, vice-president
of the United States Refining and
Reduction company, reports that the
new tailings mill at Florence is
ready to begin operations. 1t will
have daily capacity Of 500 tons,
and is expected to make a profit out
of failing that averages only $1.05
a ton. The estimated amount of tail
ing in the dump is 100000 tons. AS
the ore was roasted when first treat
ed, regrinding will be all that is
necessary preliminary to teaching
with cyanide solution. Tube mills
will be used.

A SUGGESTION.

With the assurance of successful
concentration ought to see every
mine able to put out ore in full op-
Grafton in this district A number OF
properties may have been unable to
continue development owing to wat
er. The Newhouse may be able to
remedy this. Other properties may
have ceased work for the lack OF
these and transportation. The tram
can reach most any mine desired.
Now, to have all this back of a
mine operator, old Gilpin should take
front rank in the output of ore. An
other thing. The Golden smelter has
made close market for the minerals
found in this neighborhood. What
more could be desired? The mines
are here, good ones Of the true-fis-
sure sort, assuring great depth for
any promising vein uncovered.
1t should not cost great deal to
get started. Take the National, as
mentioned last week. The new own
ers were able to begin shipping al
most upon hte day of purchase.
There are other properties in lik''
condition. The Lowe interests also
have a mine with ore broken that
should keep the mill at Black Hawk
engaged for long time.
Those desirous of investing might
learn great deal by careful investi-
cation. The reorganization Of the
Chamber of Commerce should prove
of inestimable value to investors. A
list of good properties with truth.
full account of their condition and
future possibilities will be kept in
the office to be a guide to legiti
mate investors. These will be volun
tary contributions as information tC
capitalists. There is likely to be 8
great deal of inquiry since things
were better to be primed with that
which can result in nothing but bene
fit to the mining industry Of Central
and surrounding. Parties would be-
lieve it reliable were they informed
| by public board of the kind that
properties of promising nature
could be had in such and such part
of the hills. 1t would save time and
the Commerce members would be act
ing as guarantors for any property
left for their recommendation.
A party arriving in Central who
knew nothing of conditions, would
be at sea. With a central informa
ton bureau he could gain more Re
liable knowledge than following W
every rumor. Mine owners should act
on the suggestion of lodging informa
tion in relation to their mines al

COLORADO MINING
INDUSTRY IMPROVING.

For capital seeking profitable in
vestment, the biennial report of the
Colorado state bureau Of mines will
prove valuable source of reliable
information. In addition to statistics,
map showing the extent and loca-
districts, and resume of the min
ing laws, the report takes up in de-
tail the progress in metallurgy and
mining that has added to the profits
to be won in the production of ore
in Colorado. Magnetic and electro
static separation, together with more
efficient table concentration, has put
value into mixed sulphide ores that
a few years ago were worthless.
At Leadville the discovery of zinc
carbonates last year added SO 1-3 per
cent to the zinc production of the dis
trict. Gilpin and Clear Creek coun-
ties have entered upon a new era
of prosperity following the completion
of the Newhouse drainage and trans
portation tunnel, and the provision
of modern concentrating plants.
At Cripple Creek the water level
is sinking at the rate of three inches
daily, and with the cutting of other
water courses by the Roosevelt tun
mel this will be increased to six in
ches daily and 754 feet added to the
workable depth of the mines in eight
cen months.
The new Portland and the STRAIT
toms Independence mills in Cripple
Creek district are handling low grade
ore at cost of $3.50 ton or under,
and the Ajax will soon have new
mill in which the Clancy cyanide and
cyanide process will be tried out on
a commercial scale.
At Boulder mill will be built that
promises to do for Boulder county
what similar mills have done for
Cripple Creek. In the San Juan the
modern mills at some of the larger
mines have demonstrated what can
be earned in the treatment Of low
the San Juan will grow with the ap-
plication of the same methods that
have succeeded elsewhere in the
state. Tungsten production has al
ready become a great industry and
arrangements are in progress for
the construction of ferro-tungsten
plant that will save the freight
charges on concentrates now shipped
to eastern plants.
Vanadium production has been re-
tarded by metallurgical difficulties,
but the material is available for an
important and profitable industry.
Dredging in the Summit county plac-
ers has been exceptionally remunera-
tive, and the state commissioner of
mines, T. ]. Dalzell, looks for dredg-
ing development in Colorado compar-
able to that in California.
The limits and trend of the Boul-
der oil field have been determined
the production increased and a gas
supply developed that promises in
manufacturing industries. All over
the state, the extention of the dis
tributing lines of the power COM
panies has reduced the costs and
increased the profits of mining.
