A HAZARDOUS JOURNEY


Last Sunday as Will Mcleod was
coming into Central City on skis,
from the London mine at Twelve
Mile. when about two miles this side
of the mine, he saw a huge noun
tain lion cross the trail a few yards
ahead Of him. AS Will had no fire
arms about him, he was obliged to
halt and let the lion pursue its jour-
ney to the timber below. He then
continued on his way and when cross
ing Peck flat he encountered large
timber wolf that was inclined to con-
test the right of way. but Will rails
ed one OF his eight-foot skis and
shot 1t forth with such lightning rap
idity that Mr.. wolf was glad to leave
the trail and take to the tall timber.
Will says that the hide would make
a fine rug, and on his return trip, in
tends to go armed. and be ready for
anything he may encounter. He has
sent to Denver for the loan of Tom
O'DonnePs sawed-off shot gun and
Bonfil's brace OF revolvers and when
they arrive will undertake the re-
turn journey.

FRONTENAC
BURGLAR|zED

The Frontenac mine was burlariz.
ed Tuesday night and while the
thieves were thwarted, costly dam
age was done. On Tuesday night,
Thos. Turner, who lives near the
F'rontenac, started for the mine with
sack to get some COAL When near
the property, he heard sounds from
within and thinking the company had
placed a watchman <here, tried the
door. AS everything was locked and
apparently in proper shape, his sus-
pic1on was aroused, and upon look
ing about found 4-ply leather belt,
l6-inches wide and 65 feet long, cut
IN three pieces and rolled up and
bound with wire, with two sacks of
tools. He at once went to the resi-
dence of Joseph Wood and telephon.
ed to N. H. Brown, manager of the
mine at Central City, who at once
notified Sheriff Gundy, who deputiz-
ed Robert Wilkinson, and together
they started for the mine. They
left the horses at Mr.. Woods, where
they learned that Turner and Wood
had already gone back to the mine.
When they arrived at the mine on
foot, Wilkinson unlocked the door
and they carried the rolls of belt
ing and sacks of tools into the shaft
house. locked the building and start
ed for home about twelve o'clock.
Yesterday morning when Wilkinson
went over to the mine he found one
roll of betting missing and as no
door, apparently, had been tampered
with, the supposition is that the thiev-
es were there and watched the sher-
iff and his men go away, and then
entered the mine by the tunnel,
climbed the shaft and removed the
roll of betting through shaft and tun-
mel. A search warrant will be sworn
out today and the thieves apprehend-
ed, as suspicion points strongly to
certain parties. 1t is about time the
strong arm of the law was invoked
on this class, that go about and loot
every mine as soon as it closes down
and if Sheriff Gundy succeeds in
landing his men. No mercy should
be shown them.

FIGHT ON SHELTER
BEGINS IN DENVER

Government agents already have
reached Colorado in their quest for
evidence to be used in the suit
brought by the department of Justice
to dissolve the smeIter trust. Three
special agents of the department now
are in Denver quietly working on the
case which was filed by Attorney
General McReynolds either at Wash
ington or New York.
There are two corporations in this
state which are looked upon as active
members of the trust One is the
United States Zinc company, of Pu-
eblo, the other the Carbon Coal and
Coke Co. The relations of these two
companies to the trust will carefully
be gone into.
The government agents may be in
Denver for another week or two.
They are going back to every tram
saction since 1889. The figures bear
ing on the shipment of ores from
foreign countries, their treatment,
the prices paid local producers and
every fact that may be obtained
which shows that the trust has stifl-
ed competition and violated the laws
of interstate commerce will be obtain
ed.
The trust already has admitted that
1t owns the two Colorado compan-
les stock, or at least majority OF
vh, hnf he
heads of the trust. Former U. S.
Senator Simon Guggenheim is
member of the executive committee
and one of the controlling factors
in the trust. He recently gave up
his political ambitions in Colorado
to assume active leadership In the
trusts affairs.
A ray of hope is breaking. and
we. as mining community, have
something to look forward to. We
are entering upon one Of the most
prosperous years for the last decade.
our mines are developed for the pro-
duction of a vast tonnage in 1914.
our county is being advertised for
its radium throughout the world, and
our citizens are united with a spirit
Of optimism that has surmounted all
obstacles. and only the independent
smelter is required to cure all our
ills. Let the good work OF govern
ment investigation and dissolution OF
trusts go on and Gilpin county will
once more blossom as the rose.

WONDERS OF RApIUM

A few weeks ago we read in the
papers where a farmer living near
the carnotite fields in the Paradox
valley, brought home some of the
ore and placed it in his watering
tub where his chickens drank, and
after that the chickens laid two eggs
apiecesner day.
Since then we have made an ex-
haustive study of the science of hen
ology, and find the facts, so startling,
we hasten to give them to our read
ers. For example, a hen that scratch
es the gravel of Gilpin county's soil
and takes it into her craw to aid
digestion, is soon confronted with a
peculiar sensation. The gravel be-
ing highly impregnated with radio-ac.
tivity, 1t soon begins to cast off en-
anations that radiate throughout the
plexus of the hen, and permeates the
membrane that encases the albumin.
Gus portion of the egg, and produces
the phenomenon of chicken birth
within a week We also find that a
piece Of pitchblende placed in an in
cubator will give the required natur-
al heat, and the emanations that are
constantly escaping therefrom, grad
ually revolves the egg, thus produc.
ing healthy and well rounded chicks
1t is a most interesting and pleasing
study and further Investigations will
undoubtedly lead to greater discov

in Twelve Mile gulch, near the fam

as the weather will permit, ground

the erection Of a 50-ton custom mill.
The mill will be Of the. most modern
type Of concentration, with Isabelle

ore produced by the mines in that

elLPIN A RADIuM COUNTY

AS radillm for cancer cure is now
the talk Of the whole world, and
Colorado produces nearly the whole
amount of the ore from which this
element is extracted, let us not lose
sight OF the fact that Gilpin county
contains the highest per cent of ra-
dium-carrying pitchblende on earth. A
year ago there were only three mines
that were supposed to contain pitch
blende in the county. Since the min
eral has attained such notoriety mine
owners have been paying attention
to their by-products and waste mat
ter. and we find that pitchblende is
not confined to a certain section, as
first supposed, but is found in near
ly all parts of the county. The car
notfte ores of the Paradox valley are
found In almost inexhaustible guam
titles, but the per cent of radium is
much less than in pitchblende, and
the fact that the mines are almost
inaccessible, renders the cost of min
whereas in Gilpin county the mines
have railroads at their very door,
and ore mined in our mines can be
placed on the market at Denver at
small cost arc in short time.
The coming spring will find pros
pectors searching for this rare ore
throughout the entire county. In the
northern district, next to Boulder
county, uranium ores have been dis
covered as we'll as tungsten and van
adium and when the snow melts,
this portion of the county will be
alive with prospectors. All this coun-
try is close to the Moffat road and
all the southern portion, including
Quartz HILL is accessible to the C.
& g. and If the government builds
their extraction plant in Denver, the
uranium mines necessary for the pro-
duction of radium, will be at their
very doors.

GUGG|Es EXPOSED
NO. 2.

The Alaskan broblem now being
exploited before congress by Dele
gate Wickersham, of that territory,
reveals the outrages of one of the
most high handed mononpolies that
ever cursed the American people,
and makes the acts of the Standard
Oil Co. and the Sugar Trust pale in
to insignificance. This trust, styling
itself the Alaska Syndicate Corpora

full eye of former national admin
strations and with the consent of
those high in government circles,
have been allowed to monopolize the
different branches of the entire AL
Pacific coast is owned by them, the
commerce between these smelters
and Alaska is carried on with Gug-
genheim ships, and all ores sold to
terprise has not been to open up the
resources of this great mineral bear
ing country to the freedom of the
world, but to the Guggenheim family,
and every effort has been made for
the past decade to exclude indepen-
dent development. Now with respect
to railway conditions in Alaska. The
Guggenheim syndicate owns and op-
whenever an independent company
has attempted to build rival line,
they have been thwarted in their
attempts, even to the extreme of
numbering the workmen. They have
unfairly crushed every attempt to-
create independent transportation by
land or water. They have had free
hand in securing title to unlimited
quantities OF Alaska's undeveloped
wealth at government rates, because
Simon Guggenheim, one of the main
members of this syndicate, was sit
ting in the high councils Of the ma
ton and openly betraying the conf
ldence reposed in him by the people
Of the centennial state. The city of
Valdez has unlimited coal fields ly-
ing almost at their very door of as
fine quality as there is on the Pac-
ific slope. and when . home railway
company was organized to build to
these fields, this syndicate employ
ed gunner to tear up their tracks
and murder the workmen, and the
city of Valdez now has to use an in
ferior quality, transported for hun
dreds of miles on Guggenheim YES

The head of this, the greatest of
all robbing syndicates is Daniel Gug-.
genheim. We read in Holy Writ
that Daniel was cast into the den
Of lions and walked about unafraid.
his sharp and piercing eye charmed
the huge beasts of the jungle and
Gained them into submissiveness.
Likewise has the Democratic tiger
broken into the arena and seized the
gladiator of private interests by the
throat, that had for these many years,
defied both man and beast. From
