Ruling that the team used by
Charles Winslow during August,
1912. in the old road district No. 3.
now No. 5. belonged to the super
visor, M. ]. Neylon. and therefore
could not be used In county work.
the superior court last week ordered
the payment Of $50 to Winslow for
his personal services during that
month, but denied him payment Of
$40 for the use of the team. The
suit was brought by Fred Medbury
and others in September, 1912. At
ter the county commissioners had
ordered warrant for $50 drawn in
Winslow's favor, and sought to en-
join the county auditor from draw
ing the warrant In that amount and
the county treasurer from paying 1t.
alleging that Winslow had used .
team belonging to Supervisor Ney-
Ion. Winslow and the co-defend-
ants, the auditor and treasurer. In
their reply alleged that the team
used was composed of colts which
Neylon had turned over to Winslow
to break in, with the understanding
the latter could use them as he de-
sired and keep the earnings. The
decision is victory for Medbury.

NEW RADiUM LAW
UP BEFORE CONGRESS

The radium bill now before the
committee on mines and mining in
the U. S. senate regarding the min
ing and sale of radium ores, If we
read it Alright, is as oppressive to
the mining industry of Colorado, as
the Guggenheim Smelling trust in
its palmy days. For the benefit of
our readers we will quote a portion
from the copy of the original bill
now open before us:
Section 1. That all carnotite, pitch
blende or other ores containing ra-
dium in sufficient quantity for ex-
traction, in lands containing same,
shall be subject to exploration, occu-
patton and purchase under the min
ing laws upon condition that said
radium-bearing ores shall be exclu-
sively sold and delivered to the Unit
ed States, as hereinafter provided
from lands the title to which is now
in the United Statse and which
were not located under the mining
laws of the United States, and the
states wherein the same are situat-
ed prior to the fifteenth day of jan
uary, nineteen hundred and fourteen
shall be so sold and delivered, and
the exclusive right Of the United
States to purchase and receive said
ores from the owners of such lands,
their lessees and assigns, together
with the right of the United States
to annul and void any patent issu-
ed for such lands because of failure
to develop and mine such ores with
reasonable diligence shall be express
ly reserved in any and all patents
which may hereafter be issued
Section 2 also provides that the
locator shall develop his deposit con-
tinuously and in good faith etc. Sec
tion 8 provides that disposing of radi-
um bearing ores to others than the
United States shall, upon conviction,
be fined in sum not less than
twice the value of ores so sold or dis
posed Of Provided, that the secre-
tary of the interior may make spec
ial orders or permits if necessary.
1t will be seen that all radium bear
ing ores must be sold to the gov
ernment and at price set by the
secretary of the interior or mining
bureau at Washington. This, in
our opinion. would be very unjust
law to the miner and would create
a greater monopoly than the Guggen-
helms now hold over us in the smelt-
ing of gold and silver ores,

coLoRADo's OPPORTUNITY

President Wilson and congress is
now formulating law whereby the
proceeds from navigable rivers and
streams shall be turned into their
respective state treasures instead of
into the national treasury.
Why not go farther with this law
and turn all revenues derived from
sale of timber on the national forest
reserve, and on leased grazing lands,
etc., into the treasures OF the sew
eral western states. We believe that
President Wilson and Secretary Lane
are favorable to the west and its in
terests, and Colorado should arouse,
and lay this matter before congress
through our U. s. senators and rep
resentatives. that 1t may be incor.
porated in the bill now being formu.
lated. Our commissioner of Mines,
T. r. Henahen, is now ably serving
the state In endeavoring to safeguard
the state in its mineral lands and
mining, and now is the golden op-
portunity to safeguard our water.
forest and pasture lands for the bene
Tit OF the state. Let us start the
ball rolling at once. that our efforts
may incorporate these reforms into
the forthcoming law.

Hawk for supper. This being over,
the brakes were again lowered, and
were kept in active operation until
1O:30, when the fire was darkened
to such an extent as to put the
wooden buildings behind the Register
office out of danger, which, had they
been suffered to take fire, would
communicate the flames to the resi-
dence portion of the city, thus MAX
ing the loss great deal heavier
than at present.
THE brakes were now folded and
the hose taken up for the night,
when the boys adjourned to the par
lor of the Teller House and camped
out for rest. Before doing this,
however, everything was put in readi-
ness for zephyr, including the one
piece of hose that gave way in the
evening, and which-w at once made
ready for service by w. III. Hadley,
of the Golden Colliery, who, FORUM
ately for the company, happened to
be in Central when the engine arriv-
ed.
The Rescue Hook & Ladder com
pany preceded the engine up town,
and was at once assigned to duty in
the neighborhood of the Register Of
flee, where it did excellent service in
the way of hauling down broken
walls, and in removing parts of the
wooden buildings that were in immed
late danger of taking fire. From
this point the hook and ladder boys
were ordered to- Spring street, be-
yond reach of the hose, and did valu-
able service in preventing the spread
of the fire up the gulch. While not
otherwise engaged, they put in ap-
pearance at the brakes, and helped
the hose boys to take care of their
lines, which was no easy matter, as
the pipe-men took the nozzles here
and there over the ruins, being COM
PEELED to wet the points where they
stood to prevent their feet from burn.

brakes, and was kept up until the
bank vaults in the neighborhood were
pretty well cooled down. At half past
five the Fire King threw a parting
stream over the roof of the Teller
House. and moved toward the Black
Hawk depot with the beginning of its
Colorado record done up in a broom.
THE down trip was made without
accident, but when the train reached
Beaver Brook, the mayor of that set,
tlement, Henry Dodge, Esq, trotted
out with boiled ham and a keg of
lager, just to see how fast the boys
could put them away. The gift was
extremely welcome. and added some

Among the most able lawyers OF

prevails that other trunk lines would

WHEN THE MoFFAT
ROAD COMES IN


ROAD COMES IN
After years of watching, waiting,
Faith and hope both unabating,
Everyone will be relating
How the Moffat Road came in.
There will be all joy, no sadness,
Hearts will all be filled with gladness
That will be akin to madness,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Citizens then from all their striving,
Digging, delving and conniving,
Will be happy, free and thriving,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
They will care not for the money
Spent in vain in days less sunny,
The past to them will then seem
funny,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
All around you'll see men rustic,
Hear the call for men of muscle,
For job no man need hustle,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
When banks open up at nine,
A hundred men will be in line,
No time for clerks to go and dine,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Then McFarlane's smile ecstatic,
Will be sweeter, more elastic,
And his methods far less drastic,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Then his foundry will be working,
No one idle, no one Sinking,
Round old boilers he'll be lurking,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Then the outside hills will threaten,
To the miners they will beckon,
And they'll flock there too, l reckon,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
What surprises they'll uncover!
Wealth of Croesus they'll discover.
No mortgage on the home of mother,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Then you'll hear the hills resounding,
With the stamp mills, crushing,
pounding,
Gee! The noise will be astounding,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Then you'll hear the trains go groan-
ing,
Laden down with ore, go roaming
To the smelters they'll go moaning,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
From Russell and Nevadaville,
You'll hear the trains go rumbling, till
Soft twilight all the valleys fill,
When the Moffat road comes in.
Mark Harris, like some blushing low
er,
Then will come from under cover,
And six hundred bucks" recover,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Stull's observer" will relate
How "The Branham Syndicate"
Struck 1t" on a certain date,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
And Doc. Davies London Mine'
Will be shipping ore just fine,
His wealth he'll count in figures nine
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Wen not search in ancient lore,
Back some thirty years or more,
Just to get little ore,
When the Moffat Road comes in.
Up on Quartz Hill well go hunting.
Through it's tangled thickets grunting
On it's crest we'll place some bunting
When the Moffat Road comes in.
