ness of the vermillion Mining and
Milling company, whose mines are
situated about two miles north of
Animas Forks. 1t is stated that the
stockholders Of the company intend to
start work early in the spring. The
first move will be to repair the mill,
which was damaged by snowslide
last winter. The mine itself is said
to be in good condition for the pro-
duction of ore.
Now, then, If one or more of the
several undertakings looking to the
early construction of modern concen-
trating mills near Silverton shall ma
terialize. the San Juan will become n
very busy mining district. 1t has
plenty of mills, but they are not adapt
ed to the work required. There is only
one well appointed separating mill
in that section of the country and it
is owned by the Sunnyside Mining
company, which does not do custom
work.
phide ores are associated with zinc,
often in large percentages, the only
way whereby the producer can real
ize even fair profit is by a method
of concentration that will separate
the zinc. DR.. ]. N. Pascoe and one
or two other parties having planned
mills of this character for general
use, are busy endeavoring to raise
the needed capital. The winter has
not been favorable for such under
takings, but the projectors report
progress and seem hopeful of ulti-
mate success. If they can get started
it will go far toward inaugurating an
industrial boom in district that has
worlds of good mineral that only need
proper treatment to enrich the opera

IN FAVOR OF PRISON
FOR TRUST HEADS

/. WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 21.--
Imposition Of jail sentences on con-
victed trust heads in the National
Cash Register case was heralded with
pleasure by department Of justice off
ciais today. 1t was stated that out
of total Of forty-one criminal anti
trust suits so far prosecuted under
the Taft administration, Jail sentences
had been secured in only two-the
turpentine trust and the cash register
combine.
Sentencing to Jail cash register Of
ficials should have splendid effect
on would-be violators Of the Sher-
man law" said Assistant Attorney
General Fowler, the official trust
buster" of the government.
"The Jail sentences imposed on cash
register officials are a demonstration
that the Sherman law is and of it.
self without amendment, a powerful
and effective instrument to reach any
sort of combination. in restraint of
trade" said Solicitor General Built.
st has taken years to get its full
meaning understood. Jail sentences
will make powerful persons more care
full hereafter"
Public opinion has great in
fluence that impresses itself even
npon our life tenure courts,' observed
Senator Owen, who had introduced
esclutions calling for the election OF
faderal judges by the people.
AZ fully approve of Jail sentences
in these cases." said Senator Poindex-
ter. II think 1t is quite encouraging
to see the same treatment dealt out to
the convicted trust conspirators and
managers as is dealt out to COM
mon thief"
Said Senator Thomas Of Colorado:
"When the Sherman act is enforced
generally by imposing sentences to
prison upon those violating its pro-
visions, we shall see a more general
enforcement of its requirements.
When we make guilt personal, the
courts will not have to try so many
of these trust cases."

MINING INDUSTRY BECOMING
ACTIVE IN SAN JUAN COUNTY

Not long ago superb strike was
made in the Telescope property, at
Chattanooga. AS the work goes on it
is expanding into large proportions.
Some of the richest ore ever taken
from the mine is now being stored in
its bins, to await the opening of
roads to the Durango smelter. The
strike occurred in the main tunnel,
where vein six feet wide was opened.
On the feot wall there are fourteen
inches Of almost solid lead ore. The
balance of the material carries gold,
silver, copper and zinc, assays from
this portion of the vein giving $42.65
per ton. The mining is by hand drill
ing. but machines will be installed at
an early date.
The fins showing in the Telescope
has stimulated other property owners
and prospectors in the vicinity to
greater effort.
At Chattanooga the Congress and the
Telescope will employ large forces,
and at Red Mountain an6 vicinity,
the Barstow, San Antonio and other
noted mines will be scenes of much
activity.
Efforts are being made to rssusci-
tate the old Red Mountain mining and

ated by George A. Crawford. Having
been sold under foreclosure and
bought in by John F. Thompson Of

features of Florida, her fair land
scape, her balmv climate, her pro-
ductive soil and her exemption
from the calumitous visitations
that overtake the less happy dwell
lers in other lands, need no assur-.
ance to convince them that our
state is the most favored land up
on which the life-giving sun
shines. The breath of winter is
tempered by tropical warmth
impaired by our proximity to the
low latitudes of the southern seas
while the enervating temperature
of other tropical climates is dissi-
pated and rendered bracingly
stimulating by the sweep of the
Atlantic and Gulf breezes across
our vernal peninsula and the crisp
breath of the 'northers"that come
with tempered touch from snow
fields of the distant north.
