INSTRUCT FOR CLARK

The business of the Democratic
state convention at Colorado Springs
Monday, went through without a
hitch. Denver county made a COM
bination with two o. three other big
counties necessary to command con-
troll. and carried things with a high
hand. Anything Denver wanted it got.
The delegation to the National
convention. was instructed for Clark
and the instructions are so worded
that the delegates can not throw
their support to any other candidate
until they have been released by MIR.
Clark. John T. Bottom, who took
charge OF the Clark boom in Colo
RADIO and who deserves a great deal
of credit for procuring an instructed
delegation for the Speaker, was the
victim Of one of the meanest poiti-
cal tricks ever pulled off by the Den
Yer organization. Mr.. Bottom was de-
sirous of going to the Baltimore con-
vention as delegate, and for his
untiring work in behalf of Mr.. Clark
was surely entitled to this reward.
Just because he appeared at ban
quet given by number of Demo
Gratis who We're not delegates to the
state convention and delivered a
speech, the Denver bunch saw fit to
throw the harpoon into him.
Out of the Denver delegation of
237 votes. Mr.. Bottom was given but
two votes. After Denver had cast
its vote, he withdrew his name as
a candidate and released his friends
from further support. Notwithstand-
ing this the convention gave him
enough votes to elect him. Just be-
fore the vote was announced. Dem
yer county to prevent his election.
changed its vote. taking 100 votes
from candidate voted for who had
no chance o. election, and gave them
to Ferris. of jefferson county. With
this 100 votes. Ferris had majority
over Bottom. This act was consider
ed by all fairminded Democrats as
the heighth of political rottenness.

body of Bornite ore which is expos

being continued vertical and drifts
will be run to get under the rich ore
shoot mentioned
Machine drills are being used in
the sinking of the shaft, which is be-
ing done by days pay labor. When
sufficient depth is gained a cage VIII
be installed, which will enhance the
capacity of the hoisting apparatus
sufficient to take care of the large
amount of copper ore that shows
operation at the present time. Supt.
Shad Reid is in charge of the op-
erations.
The Mackey mine, under the SUPER

The work on the Kansas-Burroughs
lateral in the Newhouse tunnel, is
meeting with great success as a
water course has been encountered
which is draining the property. Some
72 feet has been driven on the lat
eral. which has 800 feet more to go
to get under the Phoenix shaft. Two
shifts with machines are making five
feet per day. Drilling operations are
somewhat hampered on account OF
the immense amount OF water en-
countered; the water at times squirt
