SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS NEW
FORM OF GOVERNMENT
IN PUEBLO, COLO.
DECISION IN TATE CASE
OPINION WRITTEN BY CHIEF JUS

Denver.-Commission government in
Pueblo, adopted September 19, 1911, in
the form of a new city charter under
provisions of Section 6 of Article Xxx
of the State nstitution-known as
the Rush bill-was declared valid by
the Supreme Court in a deeision hand
ed down in the Tate case.
In upholding the constitutionality of
the home rule amendment the Su-
preme Court not only declares legal
the Pueblo charter under which COM
mission government displaced the old
form in that city, but also the prefer
ential system of voting and other pro-
ter.
Court holds that under the initia-
tive and referendum amendment to
the constitution, as many proposals for
constitutional amendments may be
submitted at a general election as the
people initiate, and that the old re-
striction of six amendments is not ap-
plicable to the initiative.
The decision leaves valid the consti-
tutional amendment to the Rush bill
adopted last November, under which
the February election in Denver was
held. This makes easier any litigation
that may follow in Denver over change
of government.
It is held, too, that while the people
may initiate as many amendments to
the constitution as they please, the
Legislature is restricted to the old
rule of not more than six at any one
time; and, further, that an initiated
statute is not of the force Of an
amendment to the constitution and
may be. ruled unconstitutional by the
courts.

Musser, Justice White dissenting and

STATE HAS RIGHT TO FIX RATES.
Decision of U. s.. Supreme Court in
Minnesota Case Recognizes Juris-
diction Over Intrastate Traffic.

Washington. = The power of the
states to fix reasonable intrastate
rates on interstate railroads until such
time as Congress shall choose to regu-
late these rates was upheld by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
the Minnesota freight and passenger
rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles govern
ing the valuation of railroad property
for rate-making purposes, and, accord
ing to these, held that Minnesota
would confiscate the property of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad Com
pany by it's maximum freight and two
cent passenger fare law. 1t enjoined
the state from enforcing these laws as
to this road for the present. In the
cases of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, however, the court
held that these roads had failed to
show that the rates were "unreason-
able" or "confiscatory," and conse-
quently reversed the United States
District Court for Minnesota, which
had enjoined their enforcement as
both confiscatory and burden on in
terstate commerce.

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
ORE FOUND WITHIN ONE FOOT

Grass Roots Find on 1876" Claim
Runs $1,000 Per Ton in Gold

Platoro, Colo.-All of the camps in
the new Platoro-G Gilmore e-Stunner-Jas-
per mining district are excited over
the "grass-root" strike made Sunday,
June 1st, on the 1876" claim of Cole,
Hook & Co., not far from the property
of the August Mining Company, which
latter was located late last fall by
George Gilmore and which brought
this district into world-wire notice and
is attracting miners from all camps in
the United States and British Colum-
bia. The first assay( made June 4th)
of ore taken from the 1876" claim
within one foot of the surface re-
turned Ala ounces of gold and 1916
ounces of silver with a total value of
$99.80.
One finds scattered all over the dis
trict scores of pioneer miners and
prospectors of Colorado, who in re-
cent years have been working in the
mining districts of Utah, Arizona, Ne
vada, Montana, British Columbia and
Alaska, but who have returned to Col
orado by reason of the gold strikes in
the Platoro district.
The town of Platoro is growing rap
idly. 1t is located in Conejos county,
Colo, on the south bank of the Cone
jos river, has a fine site with an
abundance of pure water. A census
taken May 31st shows a population of
400, as compared with five or six peo-
pie living there last winter. On that
date thirty-six cabins and sixty-seven
tents were counted with many new
buildings and tents going up. There
is a steady stream of people coming
into the district and now that the
snow has disappeared, indications
point to great influx. The gold
field is from forty to fifty miles from
railroad, but there are automobile
and stage lines from numerous San
Luis Valley railroad towns and good
accommodations can be obtained at
all the camps.
At the present time Platoro is the
only camp having postoffice, but the
Postoffice Department has arranged
to establish offices at Sumner and
Jasper and they will be opened by the
first of July. 1t so happens that the
telephone company has trunk line
through the district and shortly the

munication with the outside world.

ner-Jasper mining district in southern

is all gone except in some deep
gulches on the north side in the high
est attitudes, and prospectors, who
have been waiting for the snow to
disappear, are now covering the hills
equipped for a seasons work.
