RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
COLORADO MINING MEN

That part of the resolutions adopt
ed by the Colorado Metal Mining as
sociation relative to the taxation of
mines and also relating to radio active
ores should be of especial interest to
Colorado people. They follow:
Whereas, The taxation of the met
alliferous mines at the present time
places upon the mining industry an
unfair burden, and whereas the min
ing industry is one of the chief
sources of revenue and valuation, be
it
Resolved that such steps be taken
by this organization in conjunction
with the tax commission and proper
authorities, by such ways and means
as may be deemed proper and expe-
dient, to more fairly equalize the bur-
den.
Resolved, That the taxation of
mines should be based upon the val
ues received from the ores rather than
on the gross assay value, as the diff
ference between these figures in the
zinc and low grade gold-silver dis
tricts, ranges from II to 80 per cent
said percentages being total loss as
far as the zinc is concerned.
Whereas, A bill is being considered
by the committee of mines and min
ing of the United States senate which
purports to provide for and encour-
age prospecting and mining of rad
ium bearing ores in lands belonging
to the United States, for the purpose
of securing an adequate supply of
radium for government and other hos
pitals in the United States and for
other purposes, and which bill also
provides that claims containing said
radium bearing ores located after the
passage of this act shall be mined not
less thap four months each year, and
that the ore therefrom shall be sold
to the government at the market
terror, also giving the government
power to enter upon lands that have
been patented and mine, develop and
remove said radium bearing ore in
the event that the patentee, his lees
sees or assigns shall fail to develop
and mine such ores with reasonable
diligence.
Resolved, We congratulate the con-
gress upon abandoning the original
bill presented, H. ]. Resolution 1856,
which provided for withdrawal of
radium bearing ore lands, as indicat-
i've of sympathy with the unanimous
belief of this convention that all of
the lands within the boundary of the
state of Colorado belong of right to
the people of Colorado and should be
developed as our people see fit.
Resolved, We are unalterably op-
posed to the proposal that radium ore
claims located after the passage of
S. R. 4405 shall be worked at least
four months each year; the present
law is onerous enough.
Resolved, We regard as unwise and
unjust the idea that the miner of ra-
dunn bearing ores, as above provided,
shall sell the same exclusively to the
United States. The right of contract
should not be annuled nor abridged,
but the federal bureau of mines is
hereby requested to establish sam
ping plant or plants for the determ-
nation of values in radioactive ores.
That fiscal agent be attached to
said plant or plants so that the pros
pector and miner may be given
competitive cash market for his ore,
based upon an equitable valuation of
the radioactive mineral therein con-
tanned.

The new machinery at the loading
terminal of the Sunnyside tram at
the mine, which was destroyed by fire
the latter part of last November, is
in place and the great tram was once
more put in operation few days ago.
1t started off without hitch and is
working to perfection. Manager
Terry is now busy at work filling the
big bins with ore preparatory to the
starting of the mill in the next few
days. This tells story of what
pluck and determination can accomp-
lish when employed by men of action.
Within forty-eight hours after the
fire, Manager Terry had things un-
der way for rebuilding the destroyed
terminal, and not minute of time
was lost in pushing it on to compile
ton. This is indeed cheering, as it
throws open the doors which were
temporarily and unavoidably closed
to the employment of a large number
of men and also swells our monthly
output to the normal - Silvertonl

The announcement was made by Sec

The text of General Carranza's tele-
gram declining the armistice follows:
Il again direct myself to you for
the purpose of answering your re-
spectful message relative to the arm
istice, calling your attention to the
fact that the international conflict with
the United States was Intentionally
provoked by Huerta, and for the So

slider it inconvenient for the rebel

crue to the benefit Of Huerta in the

constitutionalist army under my COM
mand. The sovereign citizenship is
in arms with all activity to re-estab-

you that I cannot accept the armistice
which you propose.
Consider my act solely as one who
is acting with the determination of
doing only what he considers best for
