ORE REDUCTION
!. SHOWS BIG GAIN
sentInel Special serylce.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. May 16.-While mining
conditions in Colorado the past few
years have not been as satisfactory
as could be wished. still the produc-
tion of 1911 exceeded that of 1910
by 81, 6.S42.45, according to a re-
port just issued by the state mine
commissioner, Thomas r. Henahen.
The total valuation for the past year
of all classes of ores mined in this
state. including gold, silver, lead.
copper, zinc, tungsten, uranium and
vanadium, was 1874 ,466.t9, while
the production for the preceding
year was 1913 ,000,623.74.
The production of vanadium. tung-
stem and uranium for the first time
in the history of the state entered
materially into the valuation of Col
orado's ore productions during the
year 1911, the total valuation of
these three ores for the year being
81. 1.i55,600.
The counties entitled to these in
creases in these ores are: Gilpin,
with 20 tons of uranium valued at
$4,000; San Miguel with vanadium
valued at S547 500 while the produc-
ton of vanadium and uranium in
Montrose county was valued at S303,-
100. the tonnage. of the latter county
being 1,5i y tons. This ore was
shipped to Liverpool and averaged 3.5
metallic vanadium in addition to urad-
ium and radium. The conservative
estimate of the value of the vanadium
extracted from the ore would be $500
ton. In the production of this
ore not to exceed 80 miners were en-
ployed. 1t is said by the commissions
ers of mines that not enough devel-
opment has yet been done in Mont
rose county to determine the extent
of the ore deposits. 1t is believed
that when thoroughly developed the
mines will be amply able to produce
radium in quantities so that 1t will
permit of general use in the manu-
facture of steel. Present indications
insure lasting supply of radium de-
posits in the district.

From Nebraska there came on an
early train more than 100 boosters
led by Governor Chester H. Aldrich
and all enthusiastically applauding
Roosevelt. Six of the states's 16 del
legates were in the party and their
| arrival was marked by a vociferous
protest in the station by Delegate Jno.
w. Towle of Omaha, against what he
termed the steam roller tactics of the
last week.
Two Roosevelt delegations arrived
from Missouri, one numbering %,
came from st. Louis and the other
numbering 20, from Kansas City.
The most spectacular of the early
morning arrivals was the historic
375 men were in the column that
marched down Michigan avenue from
the station past the Taft headquarters
in the Congress hotel and around to
the clubs headquarters in the Great
Northern. The club members were
clad in white hats that have made
their appearance familiar at conven-
ton proceedings for many years. Pre-
ceded by a band, they attracted at
tention of early risers, but the Taft
headquarters had not yet blossomed
into activity and offered no welcom-
ing signs to the delegation.
The Oklahoma delegation today
recognized the possibility of a bolt and
in caucus, by a vote of 1S to 2, defeat
ed a resolution binding itself to sup
port the nominee of the convention
for president and vice president.

as the convention opens!
1--WE are going to fight from the jumT
and will elect the temporary chairman
by a majority larger than AZ
The visit of Rosewater to the rooms
of Col. Roosevelt at midnight was moi
known to Mr.. Rosewater's associates
on the national committee until this
morning. They secuted the idea that
Mr.. Rosewater had sought to make
peace with the Roosevelt forces.
At the Taft conference Representa-
tive Harlin E. Olmstead, of Pennsyl-
vania, was an important factor. He
announced that he would be at the
right hand of Chairman RoSewatez
from the moment the convention opens
to keep him straight on parliamentary
procedure and the Taft leaders said
they would be as we'll fortified with
Rosewater in the chair as they would
be with Senator Root, the Taft choice
for the temporary craftsmanship. 1t
was said at the conference the TAFT
men did not care how early the Roose-
Welt forces started the inevitable con-
f1ict.
The temporary roll of delegates as
arranged by the national committee will
organize the convention" said Director
Mckinley. 1t also was said the Taft
leaders were prepared for any kind of
a move and that they were well ac-
quainted with the plans coming from
the Roosevelt headquarters. The source
of their information was not explained

sition to set aside party traditions in
disposing of contest cases." said Mr..
Penrose. THE convention will pro-
ceed to transact business just as it has
in the past and we know how to deal
with disorder
Fifteen alleged pickpockets were
rounded up today They were rest
ed in public places by detectives look
ing for convention crooks attracted
by the opportunity for thieving.
Two of the prisoners, the police say,
admitted they came from New York
in the hope of reaping a rich harvest
and another said he hailed from
Texas.
The police say the fifteen are we'll
known and will be kept behind bars
until the convention adjourns.
Claim Lead of AZ for Il. r.
The Roosevelt leaders apparently
were not disturbed by the announce
ment of the Taft adherents that they
would block the move for the adoption
of a substitute roll of delegates. They
asserted with confidence the conven-
ton would not be organized with
fraudulent delegates in the places that
should be occupied by those regularly
elected or chosen"
Senator Dixon, campaign manager
for Theodore Roosevelt emphaticaIly
declared the temporary roll call of tn
convention at this hour showed that
Roosevelt would be nominated by a
majority of at least AZ and that Senator
Borah would be chosen temporary
chairman over Senator Root by a larger
majority. I'VE checked up our list OF
delegates known to be for Roosevelt
and found unquestionably that we
would control the convention by a clean
majority of AZ votes" said Senator
Dixon. THAT claim make after elm
mating a lot of counts that have come

claimed by us as certain

the convention. In addition to the
long distance telephone wire from
Chicago and the White House news
paper reports will be received by tele-
graph.
Convention news will be carried to
the president Immediately as it comes
over the wires so he may know each
development of the convention. Secre-
tary Hilles will flash Mr. Taft every
scrap of information and every move
on the political chess board.
Although the president has accept
ed the invitation to attend the Phila-
delphia- WasIington baseball game
here tomorrow the plan of the Roose-
welt managers to force the fighting
from the opening hour of the conven-
ton may keep the president away.
Just what Mr.. Taft might be able to
do to help the fight a thousand miles
away from it he has not indicated, but
he expects to stay at the Washington
end of several busy wires until the
nomination has been settled.

Chicago, June 1.-THE Roosevelt DEL
egatien from the state of Washington,
who were refused recognition by the

decided to press their fight on the floor
of the convention.
Senator Miles Poindexter was che
sen chairman of the delegation and the
following resolution of protest was sent
to Victor Rosewater, acting chairman
of the national committee:
Your action on the contest from the
state of Washington has deprived our
state of representation at the Repub-
lican national convention and denies the
people their rights The persons you
unjustly seated do not represent the
Republican party of the state of Wash
ington and the voters of our state
will not submit to your biased preju-
diced and unwarranted decision. We
will take the necessary steps to pre-
sent the matter to the Republican ma
tional convention and before the peo-
pie of the country. No candidate whose
nomination depends upon the methods
used by you can carry our state

Mr.. Hadley believes that the Repub-
licans who go to the polls are entitled
to have representatives in the national
party councils. His proposal is that
two delegates to the national conven-
ton be allowed in each district where
25 per cent or more of the total party
vote in the district is cast.
Districts that cast less than 25- per
cent but more than 10 per cent, he
believes should be given only one vote
and any district casting less than 10
per cent should be denied district rep
resentation. Governor Hadley would
give each state four delegates at large,
a plan deviated from now only when
the congressional allotment of any
state is increased before a new state
redistricting.

Time LIMIT IS UP.
Cuban Rebel Leader Has Not Begun
Work of determination.

Washington, June 17.-A1though
the time limit allowed by the Cuban
rebel leader, Julio Antomanchi, for
all foreigners to abandon their homes
state department today had no re-
port of attacks.
American Consul Holada has re-
ported that most of the territory has
been depopulated and there is little
opportunity for the negro leader to
execute his threat. The date set for
the attack comedies with other
movements of the same kind which
have come to the knowledge of the
government. AS the Cuban general
uted about 500 guerillas and soldiers
in the danger zone, while nearly 200
American marines are entrenched at
Ell Cobre and vicinity, it is thought
the danger to life has been greatly
reduced.
This government is watching the
situation closely and everything is
being kept in a state of preparedness
for the movement of the expedition
ary forces of 5000 troops. which was
ordered ready several days ago.

ment from Guantanamo a confirma-
tion of the report that General Este
noz, the Cuban insurgent leader, had
been killed and that General Lacosta,
the paralytic rebel general, had been
CAPTURED by the government forces.
Officials here believe this blow prac-
ticaIly will terminate the revolution,
though some brigand bands may con-
tinue to pillage and loot for some
time.

Santiago, June 1.-THE insurgent
leader Julio Antomarchi, who on Sat
urday ordered all the whites to leave
the vicinity of Ell Cobre. issued a
proclamation today that he will hang
any person approaching with a sug
gestion that he should surrender.
