ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
TO TALK AUTO ROAD,

Much enthusiasm was manifested
Friday night at the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce over the pro-
posed auto road from the top OF Dory
hill to Central City and Black Hawk.
The discussions were quite animated
and showed that those who had TAX
en- the Initiative in the matter were
determined to see the road built.
Peter McFarlane made splendid
talk in which he made clear the
necessity of concerted effort on the
part OF the people of Gilpin county
to stop the trend of retrogression.
He emphasized the benefits the COM
munity would derive from a good
auto drive from the valley to Central.
He said he had talked with many in
Denver who would greatly enjoy
trips to Central in autos were it not
for the heavy mountain grades their
machines would have to climb. Mr.
McFarlane said the road would be
the means of not only bringing tour
lists into the county, but prospective
investors would find it a desirable
route. He spoke of conversation
he had recently with motorist who
tral. The gentleman told him that
with little work on the Ralston
creek road and with course from
the top of Dory hill to Central that
would eliminate the steep canon
grade,t the route would not only be de-
sirable for easy travelling but would
afford unsurpassed sightseeing. He
said there were hundreds Of owners
of machines in Denver who took trips
every Sunday and new drive to
the mountains would be the delight
Of motorists.
The route from the top Of Dory
hill, which would seem the most de-
sirable, from the views expressed at
Friday evenings meeting, was to
run from a point near the cemetery,
skirting Hughesville, through the up
per side of Snyder's ranch, around
Missouri lake to Dunstone's ranch,
SliihluS luS 4>oi III Slcdi SiScA iodA
at the Pressler ranch.
As soon as the weather will per
NIT and the snow has melted suffi-
GENTLY, the proposed route will be
gone over by committee composed
OF VIM. Parenteau, Neil Mckay. Al
fred Skeels. John Stroehle, Peter
McFarlane and others. G. w. Adams
has volunteered to the preliminary
lines and do what he can to aid the
movement.
1t was the general feeling at the
meeting that the three miles of road
could be built by public subscription
| and work, the same as the Idaho
Springs road was built. There is no
use waiting for any funds from the
state and it will be long time be-
! fore there are available. The coun-
ty cannot make an appropriation for
building road but can look after
the repairs once the road is built.
Another meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce will be held to discuss
the road proposition as soon as the
committee can inspect the route.

eueeY's HYPRocRlsY
Is ASTOUNDING.

The sophistry of Senator Guggen.
helm in his defense of the trust in
terests, he SO ably represents, is an
insult to the intelligence of every
metal miner in the state. AS a sop
to the ore producer who Is daily rob-
bed Of large percentage Of the val
ues in his ores, this defender Of the
smelter trust, has this to say:
1.-THE Guggenheim interests have,
think l may truly say, been not in
considerable factors in the develop
ment and prosperity Of Colorado and
the great west; they have taken
great pride in Colorado; they have
worked personally in its industrial
fields, and in its civic life. They
have at all times been desirous Of
promoting and maintaining the well
fare of that state. and they have
always placed and always will hold
PATRIOTISM ABOVE THE DOL
LAR.
Just think of it. You miners who
toll so hard to extract from mother
earth the riches therein contained.
and are compelled to ship your pro-
duct to the Guggenheim interests
and take whatever they arbitrarily
choose to give you; that they, the
Guggenheim interests. hold patriotism
above the dollar, forsooth this then
is the reason that you are paid but
$18 to $3.50 per ounce for your gold,
a rake-off Of to 1870 on your silver
andNead, together with 80 pounds OF
copper per ton. And for zinc con-
tents are first robbed Of the total
value and penalized an amount vary
ing from 81 to $S per ton besides.
This all done in the name OF pat
riotism. Patriotism, We were taught
in our younger days, to be the love
of country, but it was mistake.
Patriotism is the exclusive preroga-
tive Of the house of Guggenheim.
Simon, states that THE miner and
mine owner of Colorado and the west
do not have to bee told by false
what the so per cent cut imposed by
the Underwood bill on lead-bearing
ores of all kinds. the 6S per cent
reduction on lead bullion, the so per
cent reduction in zinc in blocks and
pigs, and the placing Of zinc and
tungsten ores upon the free list will
mean to them and to the mining
communities dependent upon the

any benefit that may have accrued
from the tariff has been solely in the

who are now squealing that the min

not the mine producer.
A remedy for the existing evils
that the miner labors under, would
be a state controlled smelter. oper-

Surely some remedy must be inaug-
