Law DEFIANCE.

In the tragedy which occurred on
March II, in the courthouse at Hills
vile, Va, is emphasized terrible Sc
quel to law defiance.
Whereve- and whenever lawful au-
thority is considered with contempt,
this law defiance must lead to terror
ism and anarchy.
Involved in this tragedy, which ter
minated the career of the Judge, the
sheriff and the district attorney of the
court besides others was the source tof
all evil, whisky.
The offender, a moonshiner, one of
many living in the mountains, was on
trial when his kinsmen and friends hav-
ing determined on his rescue, exercised
their contempt for law authority.
In every community, there are per-
sons who entertain the extreme of con-
tempt for law, especially in their de-
fianee of law in the selling of intoxi-
eanfs. but those are restraineds in a
measure through the application of the
Law which NAV be made to reach them
1t is only through the terrors of the
law that such individuals may be re-
pressed if they be not convinced.
The safety of every community must
depend on the fearless enforcement of
The law. A community which tolerates
law defiance invites anarchy and ter
rorism.
1t is more than probable that the
t-eoedv p. Hillsville, Va, would not
have occurred if the officials of the
court had been more vigilant toward
the maintenance of law and order
against law defiance.

Prospectors License.

The report that the government
is intending to restrict prospectors
from entering and prospecting with
in the forest reserves, without first
securing Il license. seems to be pre-
postcrous and only another move To
rctard developement of the mineral
resources OF the country. Ii il Il
well known fact that nearly all of
the mineral sections of Colorado and
the west and now held within and
under the restrictions of the fores-
try department of the government
and all prospectors may really bo
considered trespasses.
No wonder that The mining in

Colorado since it became a state
WI y, will it become should the
government requite each man to 80
forestry department a.. d secure a
prospecting license before going out
to look the country over to see ii
any mines can be found.
Doubtless the license when secur-
ed would Eavc such restrictions as
to drive the average man to Canada
rather than take chances OF receiv-
ing the benefits OF his discoveries
rs he is now at the mercy OF the
ranger who has the power to turn
down his loc.;tion and drive hin
away should he be so disposed
The government should rather
place Il bonus for every man VIII,

mining district and the making o
new mines in the country.

Mining Stocks--Boom
MONEY PLENTY for PROSPECTING,

d. {. Turner who is caller on the
Denver Mining Exchange is autor-
lty for the statement that the min
ing stoc k n;alket is already ON II
boom and he prophecies big year
in the mining business for Colorado.
There is more interest now being
manifested in metal mining than
Tor many years past and a prospec :
tor who can show anything that
promises the making of q produc-
ing mine, with the proper dev slope
mcnt, will lave no trouble in find
ing the money needed for that
purpose right in Denver. Anything
that will assay well up in silver or
shows an ounce or better in gold per
ton, will be attractive, as uiso Mil
one that carries good per centagcs in
lead, copper or zinc can find the
capital for developing veins that
have probability Of making produc-
ing mines when developed.
Much interest is being taken over
the cstabli 'hing of one or more
public orc t sting plants by the gov
crment in TIE state OF Colorado.
Uhis would enable the miner to
have his ore tested for its metallic
values and determine the bestlnetho
OF treating it to save these. vnine

of his life the day when he got his

able to take home Ia his lnothes his
modest wage of 81 % week toward

ON him the truth Of the modern
business philosophy that to rest is
to rust and that to progress it is
necessary to move with the surging
tide as it sweeps by. Those who
succeed are those who seize oppor-
tunity when it gets into focus and
travel to the crest OF the wave with
it. This is what Carnegie did and
what he says every youth in the
land pushed by the cosnic urge,
may still do In Carnegie, the germ
of industry was rampant and when
things did not gravitatc his way he
went after them. When everybody
turned their back on the inventor

it WAS n fools conceit, and nobody
would t,-kc it seriously, Carnegie,
