was forced to give up all hope of get

ing. and when Swenson. the forest
gnard from the South Fork, knocked
at the door to say that he had been to
the wiley and that the doctor was
coming up with Redfeld and the dis
trict forester Ross thanked him, but
ordered him to go into camp across
the river and to warn everybody to
keep clear OF the cabin. Put your
packages down outside the door" he
added, "and take charge Of the sItua-

wetherford was in great pain, but
the poison OF the disease had misted
his brain. and he no longer worried
over the possible disclosure OF his iden.
tity. At times he lost the sense of his
surroundings and talked of his prison
life or Of the long ride nathwarl.
Once he rose In his bed to beat OF
the wolves which he said were attack
ing his pony.

gled thus, and 1t needed neither his

thereafter. for the reason that Cava

dragged woefully. 1t was after

MINING NEWS FROM
THE SILyERTON MINER

Work was this week begun on the
opening Of the Gladstone G. Norther-
ly railroad, and as soon as possible
after that job has been completed the
big mill will begin operations and pro-
duction will start and continue indefi-
nitely. The development work done
during the past winter has exposed
ar unlimited supply Of ore of good
grade, in fact the work was discon-
tinued some time ago because there
was not storage room for the ore that
was accumulating. Men were put to
work the first of this week to get the
mill in shape and we are informed
that as soon as the railroad Is OPEN
ed force Of over one hundred men
will be employed and still further aug
mcnted in the near future. Plans are
under way for the providing Of ac-
commodation for the men, but as yet
nothing definite has been decided
upon. There is accommodation for a
considerable number already and with
in a very short time all will be in
readiness to house the large force that
will find employment at the Gold King
during the active season.
M. o.. .Mahan, superintendent of the
Vermillion, was in town this week on
business, and reports that everything
i5 now in first-class condition at that
property for an active and prosper
GUS summer. During the past winter
twenty men have been kept steadily 1t
work on development Of the property
with results that are beyond the an
ticipation Of the management. Abund-
ance of ore has been opened and Just
as soon as the thaw has been suff-
cient to give an adequate supply Of
water the mill win be started. This
will mean the employment Of force

OUR DENVER LETTER.


By peculiar turn Of events the
temporary control Of the house and
senate is reversed and the Adams fam
lily controls the upper branch while
the Speer people seem to be in the
majority in the lower house. This
condition exists solely because the
powers that be are more interested in
electing United States senator than
ir the enactment of law.
The Democratic women In the house
voted against Representative New
toms amendment preventing the sale
Of intoxicating liquors. within Ave
miles of either end Of the Moffat tun-
mel II the stats decided TO provide
the funds for the tunnels construc-
tion.
Over ninety days have gone by and

By clever move the Republicans
Of the house succeeded in getting ten
out Of nineteen bills on q special cal
endar. They Joined. with . combinar
ton Of snti-Adsma Democrats for .
special order and were given the Cd
bill.
The Teller Indian school bill which
tskes over to the state from the gov
ernment this school, was one Of the
measures put on the special calendar.
Democratic papers are criticising
Attorney General Griffith because he
lost the Canon City cases by the dis
trict court quashing the indictments.
Those who have been in the capitol
daily know that the sttorney general
has worked more on these cases than
all the other matters combined, since
he has been in the office. Attorney
General Barnett had two years in
which to bring these cases to trial.
For some reason he filsd his Informs
tions just before he went out Of Office.
Had the cases really been meritorious
Barnett should have had them tried
during his term. Attorney General
Griffith made the best casa possible
with what he had 10 work on. He
