volved eighty or more defendants.
Eight out Of twelve defendants were
convicted on one indictment after trial
by jury and their conviction confirmed
by the court Of appeals. and thirteen
criminal prosecutions are pending
A brief review Of the cases brought
under the antitrust law during the ad-
ministration demonstrates clearly its
value to the American people in their
protection of that equality of opportu-
nifty which Is declared by the platform
Of the Republican party to be the right
Of every citizen.
Reference to a few Of the antitrust
cases brought by the Taft administra-
ton gives an excellent idea Of the hard
ships some Of these illegal combina-
tons entail upon consumers. In the
prosecution of a cas- against a number
of individuals who attempted to corner
all the free cotton remaining Of the
crop Of 1903 It resulted In a raise in
the price of that commodity to the
spinners. prevented some from making
any purchases and was therefore re-
straining interstate commerce.
In like manner the government took
~cognizance Of the pooling in the wire
industry. with the result that nine in
dictments were found In New York
against eighty three persons engaged
In that business II was an illegal re-
straint of trade. and when the court
proceedings had been finished the va
rious defendants were fined In amounts
averaging $1,000 each. with the excep-
ton Of the supervisor Of the pool. who
was fined $4,000.
One Of the most outrageous cases of
combination In restraint Of trade and
a notable violation of the Sherman law
was that of the hand blown window
glass industry. Practically all of the
manufacturers teighty-three In num-
Der, formed a company which control
led the entire output Of hand blown
glass. AS a result the price was ad-
vanced 100 per cent within less than a
year. The indictment of the men re.
sponsible. the imposition Of fines and
the restoration of the business upon Its
former lines were followed by a sub
stantial reduction In the price Of hand
blown glass.

Texas and the Railroads

Texas was one of the first
States TO create a railroad com
mission and to impress upon that
commission the idea that rail
roads are built TO serve the
people rather than to make for
tunes for their builders and op-
orators. The first session of the
commission was held June 10,
1891 In the twenty-one years
since there has been no question
of the commissions loyalty to the
people. A logical result. which
is beginning 10 disturb the bust
ness builders of Texas. is that
railroad building has gone for
ward at an abnormally slow
rate. The State had 1854 miles
of railroad on June 10. 1891, and
since then less than $500 miles
of new road have been built. In
the last twenty-one years rail
road construction for each 100
square miles of territory has
been 2.l7: over the whole of the

the figure is 500; in Wisconsin,
where railroad control by the
state has been strict, 3.5l miles
of road have been built for each

new Texas Welfare Commission,
a body chosen from the COM
mercial associations of thirty
two cities. It's members are
seeking an explanation; they are

ANOTHER Big TuN-
mel PROPOSITION
TO Begin UNDER KEY.
STONE AND EXTEND
TO REDWELL BASIN

The big Keystone basin tunnel
proposition was started this week
with Geo1ge Andretta in charge OF
the work who took up tools and sup
plies to the tunnel site OH Tuesday
and the hig bore is already started
with the purpose of driving it direct
ly into the big ore deposits that are
known to exist under the central
portion of Mount Emmons and from
the decomposition of which the big
Iron swamp at the foot OF the Key
stone mine l:avc been forming for
centuries past and the process OF
iron deposition may be seen going
on today just rs Tor ages. The grow
IT, of this iron swamp continues day
by day year in and year out and
will do so until the millions OF tons
of iron ore concealed within the
massive mountain have completely
rustcd cut leaving behind n core OF
ore deposit. The Keystone mine
represents a portion of this mineral
core on this side of the mountain as
does the Daisy mine in Rcdwcll basin
represents another portion of the
same deposit lying on the other side
of the mountain and through which
the big ore deposit must extend
else tl,c bog iron deposits forming
the Rctlwellover the mountain wou-
Id not be there. 1t is the purpose
of this new tunnel to penetrate this
mountain Of gold, silver, lead and
zinc ore and open it,up for greater
ore production than has ever been
known in the state out side of Lead
willie district. All great enterprises
must have their beginnings and it
is sincerely hoped this proposition
may be the commencement Of one
for this section.

BIG Tunnel ENTER.
PRISE STARTED
TO DEVELOP ITALIAN
MOUNTAIN MINES

John Larson of Aspen, who has an
option on the Star Mine On Italian
Mountain and is also the owner of
much valuable property in this dis
trict, has inaugurated-a proposition
for the development of this extern
sive mineral zone that far surpasses
any enterprise yet started in that
mining section.
1t is proposed to run tunnel
under and entirely through the CEN
trail peak of the Italian Mountains
from the Cement Creek side which
will penetrate the range two thou
sand feet below its summit and cut
the Star Mine workings, which are
on the opposite side of the mountain
from the tunnel portal, thousand
feet below the vein apex in the Star
basin. The tunnel site has been To-
Gated and Engineer Aikine has COM
pleted the surveys. The wagon
road has been extended up to the
site and large boarding house is
nearing completion,
1t is expected that this big bore
will do for the Italian Mountain
District what the great Cowenhovcn
tunnel did for the Aspen district
which was of little note until this
big tunnel had unwatered the mines
there and opened up the big ore
bodies in the extensive contact veins
of that section.
The portal of this new tunnel is
about ten miles from the railroad and
it is expected that spur will be cx-
tended up Cement Creek for the pur-
pose of hauling out the immense
tonnage of lead carbonate ore that
will eventually come to the portal Of
this tunnel and also the lumber and
prop timber that is located upon
both sides of the creek, besides the
great bodies on the watersheds OF
Brush and Sprirg Creeks which are
the most extensive tracts in the
county.

Big MINING
DEAL CLOSED
FOREST QUEEN
MINE SOLD

One of the biggest mining deals
ever consumatcd in this section was
closed recently whereby the Forest
Queen mining property has changed
ownership.
The PILor has received n COM
munication from James G. Berry
hill, owner of the Ruby Chief group
of mines in the Irwin district, that
he has purchased the Forest Queen
mines of Mr.. Metzler and contem-
plates the development and operat-
ing of the property.
1t is of interest to know that this
| old mine has gone into the hands
of practical mining operator who
will put the property on its feet again
and make it big ore producer rs 1t
was for over twenty years in the
carly mining history of this remark
able district.
It is understood that the new
ownership centemplates the erection
of large milling plant to be operated,
for treating ores from both the Ruby
Chief and Forest Queen mines and
the metal extraction is t. be by n
late method of cyanitling which is
adapted to the handling Of sulphide
ores. The saving Of values by tins
process is said to bc above ninety
five per cent and the metals recover
ed are sufficiently pure to go to the
government mint for refining and
tcoinage. This will do away withthe
expensive shipment of crude ore or
concentrates to the smelters, rs also
save smelling charges.
This big deal includes not only
the Forest Queen group of six claims
but the Irwin water rightsnnd priv
ilcgcs, with the Old plant which will
be remodeled and improved for use
at the two mining properties to fur
| nish light and power to operate the
mill and mines.
The .consumation of this deal
means not only much for the Irwin
district but will be Il great stimulus
to the mining industry throughout
the county and be the occasion OF a
general revival of mining in every
old camp on this side of the Cont
mental Divide.
The introduction of new process
for the treatment of low grade refrac-
tory ores which is now being success
fully operated elsewhere by the new
owner of the Forest Queen mine, is
guarantee of a success being made
here, and other mine owners will be
thereby Undue cd to renew operation
upon properties that have lain idle
many years longer than has the Irwin
mines. There are more than a dozcr
opportunities that could be cnumer.
atcd of former producing mines
could be started up and made to pay
provided there was some process
found by which the ores in then
could be successfully treated at ol
near the mines. The Augusta, Excel
sior, Eureka, Sylvanite, Black Queer
Virginius, Strader, Hawkcye, Key
stone, Daisy, Washington, Bullior
King and many others located il
Elk Mountain mining districts arr
all on the list.
