throughout the Secon district and
erect a monument in Dawson to the
late Congressman James NJ Griggs,

yelling exercises will occur.
The design selected is for an I'M
usually handsome monument, which
will be solid granite, with a bronze
bust one-fourth larger than hfe-size.
No man who ever represented the
Second district in congress had .
stronger hold on the affections Of
the people, and Immediately after
death they began a movement to
commemorate his public services
with a shaft in his home town.
The monument will be erected at
the intersection of Stonewall and
Lee streets. Dawson News.

New Cans for Old

There is at least one city in the
United Stztes where the tin can is
not regarded ~ a nuisance, and that
is Dishoe. Arizona, an important
mining center. Here the tin can
is not only used us fast rs emptied,
but an occasional carload is impor-
ted from adjacent camps.
Ths cans are turned into pure
copper. The method is simplicity
itself: the water Of one of the shafts,
known as the Gar, is heavily char
gcl with copper sulphat@ and as it
is pumped out of the mine in a
steady stream it is allowed TO flow
through a mile or so rf fumes,
which are filled with tin cans and
other old iron. This removes the
iron which forms the body of the
tin plate by impcrceptible degrees,
each atom of that metal being re-
placed by an equal amount of cop
per. Hence, in due course, the
owner of the property finds himself
possessed of a carload of copper cans,
instead Of the tin ones that were
dumped into the ilume. The cop
per is quite pure, and the method
~ s. Il a

Shown Up in
Wrong Light

The Gunnison News-Champion
last week burst forth with neat
little speel as follows:
Nothing but praise can be ac-
corded Sheriff Hanlon for the way
in which he handled the strike stu
alton in this county. Certainly
operator or striker can find no
fault with Sheriff Hanlon. He be-
lieves in justice for all parties con-
cerned, and is fearless in every Off
cial act. Hc knows tho conditions
in the coal camps far -bettee than
the average man, and he has little
difficulty in finding solution for
the many perplexing problems
which n man must meet in such a
position
Now, with all seriousness and with
no desire whatever to cast any re-
Election on the manner in which
Sheriff Hanlon has Performed the
duties of his Office, we are at loss
tounderstand where the News-Cham-
pion gets all its material for so much
centralized praise and by so doing,
casts false light in the eyes Of the
general public as to the real con-
ditions that prevail in the coal
camps of Gunnison County. The
facts in the matter are that from
the first inception of the strike un-
til the present time the miners in the
Crested Butte district have main
tanned quite and orderly conduct
in their ranks, and neither operator
nor citizen has aught to find fault
with them along these lines. We
are convinced that similar condi-
tions exist elsewhere thru the county
and VIC believe in commenting
the Ncws-Champion should look
far beyond the focus of its spec
tacles and place credit where credit
belongs.
