NOT GUILTY
OF LIBEL

Editor John Wehrle of the Cen
ter Post-Dispatch was found not
guilty of libel in the ur.days
trial held at Saguache this week.
The suit was brought in the sum
of $4,000 by the proposed Farm
ers Life Insurance company of
Denver, who charged that certain
articles published in the Center
paper about year ago were libel
GUS and demanded damages. The
company was operating in the val
ley in 1912 and their methods of
doing business, namely: the selling
of stock, were strongly questioned
editorially by Mr. Wehrle. While
some forceful and expressive terms
were employed in the articles in
question, the jury evidently con-
sidered them permissible from an
educational point of view and nom
libelous.
The company was represented
in its suit by distinguished ooun-
sci from Denver, w. O. Temple
and E. M. Savin, and Attorney
Means of Saguache. James P.
Veerkamp of Monte Vista and
Palmer G. True of Saguache con-
Quoted the defense.

These committees are to report at

written report of his findings
made upon his visit to the district,
which, among other facts, will show

There are large bodies of ore

down to Cornwall the mountains
are all mineralized.
There are ore veins where the
side walls are 80 to 100 feet apart.
Only two classes of ore appear
and these are the kind that in
crease in value with depth.
These ores can be proftably
treated by modern processes.
Samples taken clear across the
vein and from the lower grades of
ore in order to get a minimum aver
age representing a dozen different
mines and prospects, show values
from trace to S34 per ton.
The Mammoth (Which is the
only property the expert was able
to get into at any considerable dis
tance) is wonderful and great
mine.
