GUARDS DESTROY
COLO. FORESTS
SETTLERS SAY ALL TIMBER IN
RESERVES is BEING SOLD
TO SAW-MILLS.
WILL INVESTIGATE
CONGRESS COMPLAINS OF RAPID
LY INCREASING EXPENSE
OF FOREST SERVICE.

Washington-The curious spectacle
of Colorado citizens appealing to Con-
gress and the secretary of agricul-
ture to stop the forest service from de-
stroying the timber in that states
forest reserves is Just now attracting
attention here.
Protective associations formed by
citizens of the Centennial State have
charged that in some of the Colorado
national forests, notably in the South
Park country, officials of the for
est service are selling to the lumber
companies every tree large enough TO
cut scantling and are themselves
guilty of the very acts Of denudation
which the law contemplates they
should prevent.
Complaints of this nature have been
made to both Representatives Taylor
and Rucker. and have been laid before
the secretary of agriculture. corrob-
grated by newspaper clippings from
Colorado towns.
The secretary declares that only the
ripe" timber is being sold to the saw
mills, but the settlers declare that ey-
cry tree the mills can use is being
sold.
Secretary Wilson has ordered a
thorough investigation.
1t has been known for the last year
that the forest service has been max
ing every effort to sell timber from
the national reserves, in order to make
as good a showing as possible in the
way of receipts. Congress has com-
planned at the rapidly-increasing ex-
pense of the forest service admins
tration, and continual requests for
larger amounts have served to recall
the promises of former forester Pin
chot and others that the forest service
would soon become self-supporting.
It is charged that increasing red
tape regulations affecting the sale OF
timber leaves very little to be turned
into the national treasury.
In the less heavily timbered regions
OF Colorado, 1t is asserted, the saw
mills cannot afford to operate unless
allowed to cut every tree of any size,
and as a result some Colorado water
sheds have been almost denuded.

New exico.

Mogollon.-At the Ernestine Mining
Company, the bullion product for the
first ten days of June amounted to
1000 Troy ounces gold and silver;
concentrates for the same period, 5h
tons. The daily ore treatment con-
tinues at better than 100 tons. A new
triplex, electrically driven pump has
been installed in the mill to handle
the battery solution, replacing the old
steam pump.
The Oaks Company's Pacific mine
development yielded eighty tons ri
mill ore during the past two weeks,
of which thirty-five tons came from
the bottom of the south shaft. now
down 1877 feet. and averaged $21 per
ton. The tunnel is in $40 feet where
the ledge shows eight feet wide of a
good grade of ore. The johnson shaft
produced twenty tons Of mill ore dur
ing the period.
ore is being sent regularly to the
Deadwood mill, taken from the winze
in the tunnel. The air pipe recently
delivered has been installed.
Deep Down leasers are constantly
increasing the tonnage taken from
the south slope and will likely bring
the figure up to twenty tons per day
in the near future. The grade thus
far has been above the average of che
mill ore in camp. 1t is sent to the
Deadwood mill for treatment.
The Deadwood mines mill is hand
ling an average Of sixty tons of ore
daily. Four thousand. three hundred
and seventy-six Troy ounces of gold
and silver bullion were produced for
the first ten-day cleanup in June
with approximately two and one-hali
