every attempt to increase appropria-
tions for state departments or to in

Representatives began a determined
attack upon an amendment to the act

tics.
The amendment, which was intro
duced by Representative O. j. Left
wich of Pueblo, calls for the appoint
ment of an assistant deputy labor com
missioner to assist in arbitrating and
meditating labor troubles. The in
creased appropriation sought is $1,S00

ally, just before adjournment, asked
s further consideration of the matter to
so over.
A bill making it necessary for every
employer of labor to report to the bu-
reau of labor statistics each accident
resulting in injury or death Of an en-
ploye, under penalty of not more than
$4,000 fine, was passed on second read
ing.

longed argument and after it had been
amended and reamended several
times.
A bill introduced by Representative
Old provides for the taxation of all
cattle driven from one county into
pasturage in another county and which

chiefly on Leadvllle ores, both treated
increased quantities of stock ore. Tho
Western Chemical Co.'s wet-concen-
tratlon and magnetic-separation plant
at Denver treated an increased tom
mage of zinc-ead sulphide ore. Tho
buildings of the Rho magnetic-separa-
tion plant at Leadville (closed in July.

600 in output of gold, but an increase
of 100000 ounces of silver, $500 900
pounds of lead, and 100000 pounds of
copper. The yield of zinc was 100000
pounds less than in 1911. The decrease
in the yield of gold was caused chiefly
by the decline in operations of tha
Camp Bird mine. which was to be
closed July, 1912, but which, owing to
the discovery of some new ore bodies,
is still being operated.
The decrease in goh production
from Ouray county was $500, 900 in mill
bullion, and 100000 in contents of ore
and concentrates shipped, total of
$4,000. San Miguel county's gold
output from both bullion and smelling
meterial showed a decrease of $780,
| 600 for the year. San Juan county

crease for silver but decreases for lead
and copper. La Plata county's gold
yield fell off 100000 San Miguel
county showed considerable increases
for silver and lead but small decreases
for copper and zinc. Dolores county
showed notable increases in all the
metals, owing to the reopening OF
mines at Rico.
The yield of gold bullion from Boul-
der county decreased appreciably. as
did the shipments of ore, there being
decrease for all the metals except lead
Clear Creek county's output showed a
small decrease for all the metals. In
Gilpin county not only was there an in
crease of gold bullion produced. but
the contents of all the metals in ore
and concentrates showed appreciabie
gains.
The Pitkin county (Aspen) yield
showed an appreciable increase in sill
yer output, but a decrease in lead.
Several cars of zinc carbonate (the
first ore of this class from this camp)
and several cars of zinc sulphide con-
centrates were shipped. The shipment
of ore and concentrates from Creede
showed decrease for all the metals
except silver, which increased about
100000 ounces. A larger tonnage OF
ere was shipped from Hinsdale county.
The dredge output of gold in Summit
county increased $150,000; the zinc
yield from Breckenridge equaled that
of 1911, but smaller shipments OF zinc
concentrates from Kokomo resulted
in a decreased yield of zinc for the
county. Eagle county's output of zinc
showed very little change Park coun.
tvs placer output of gold showed a
small decrease, but there was con-
siderable increase in the gold contents
of crude ore shipped, while the con-
tents of lead and silver decreased ap-
precaibly. The dredge in Costilla coun.
ty was not operated.

MILEAGE BILLS INTRODUCED.
Proposed Measures Fix Passenger
Fares by Dividing State Into
Divisions,
D o N G S

Divisions.
Denyer-Two bills to establish
mileage charge for passenger rates
on railroads, bill for a constitution
al amendment allowing school districts
at their discretion to establish separ-
ate schools for colored children, a bill
licensing and placing under bond all
commission merchants handling farm,
dairy. orchard or garden produce,
wares or merchandise, and several
bills to protect the health of children
We're introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives.
The bill for the segregation of col
ored children in schools was intro
duced by Representative Warren NJ.
Persons of Colorado Springs. There
are many people from Texas, Okla
homa and other southern states who
spend a good par. of, or even the en-
tire year, at Colorado Springs. Many
prominent men there favor such
law. Some of the colored people
themselves are urging it, as they
claim that their children are discrim-
mated against under present condi-
tions.
Representative Young is author OF
bill which establishes an eastern and
western division of the state for pur-
poses of regulating passenger rates on
trains. An arbitrary line from north
to south running through Fort Collins,
Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and Trinidad is established. In
all territory east of this line the fare
is to be 2 cents a mile; in all terri
tory west of it, or the mountainous
region. the fare is to be cents
mile.
Representative Sweets bill estab-
fishes the same geographical line and
places the mileage in the eastern zone
at 2 cents per mile In the mountain
GUS regions the mileage is based upon
the earning capacity of the railroads
per mile. In no place shall the mile
age charge be more than cents,
where the earnings are less than ST.
600 per mile. The minimum charge
for mountain roads will be 3 cents per
mile. For roads which are mixed and
which do not segregate their earnings,
the charge will be 3A cents a mile
where the earnings are under S1,2OO
per mile, and 8 cents per mile where
the earnings are over $1,000 per mile,

To Facilitate Counting of Votes.

Denver.-Two sets of judges and
two sets of clerks are to be installed
at voting places during election here
after, if a bill being prepared by Rep
resentative Williams of Denver is
passed. williams contends that the
present system of counting the ballots
is not what it should be, and that by
his system the counting will be great
ly facilitated and the returns will
come in within a reasonable time after
the count is started. 81 have seen aged
men and women who have acted as
judges and clerks, sit up for twenty
four to thirty-six hours at stretch.
and sometimes longer, half dead for
sleep, in order to carry out their du-
ties as required by law. By having
two sets of these officers of election
they can take turns and the cost will
not be increased, inasmuch as the
count can be completed in half the
time in which one set can do the
work"
