MADISON, WISS., October ST., shall
not be an independent candidate, and
shall so publicly announce
That was the final reply made public
to-day by Senator La Toilette to the
Wisconsin Progressives, who have ap-
pealed to him to enter the. State con-
test as an independent candidate for
Governor.
In suggesting his reasons, the SEN
.ator's telegram says in part:
The primary vote was small, the
nomination was BY a minority, and in
yolved a complete reversal of the
established policy of.the state For
these reasons it has been my personal
opinion that there ought to 4 be an In
dependent candidate. But do not
think these facts warrant a public
official. who has been elected TO serve
In another capacity, in becoming an In
dependent candidate on the call of a
voluntary conference without action on

e. r. TAYLoR's MINING BILL

A few weeks ago we called the
readers attention to the fact that
the government annually spent mil
lions Of dollars to benefit the far
mer in the way of experiment sta
tions, seeds best adopted to the soil,
ETC., where not one dollar was ex-
pended to promote mining, or expert
ment stations whereby a treatment
might be discovered that would en-
able the miner to realize a profit on
our thousands of tons of low grade
refractory ores, in this and all other
mining camps throughout the entire
Rocky mountain region. This one OBJ
lection is about to be overcome and
our heretofore Disseminated against
industry receive an equal chance
with agriculture with government aid.
Congressman E. T. Taylor who has
great influence in congress, and who
is ever on the alert for the benefit
Of the west and her industries, has
introduced a bill in congress provid-
ing for the establishment of ten met
alliferous mining experiment stations
to be located at different points in
the western states and Alaska, for
the solution of the treatment of
low-grade ores at a profit. The bill
carries an annual appropriation of
$25,O00 to each station, and has sue
cessfully passed the committee on
mining with recommendation that
the bill be passed, and should 1t
pass, will be the first time the gov
ernmeht has ever aided in the min
ing interests to any great extent.
Congressman Taylor has also intro
duced another bill providing for
change in our existing mining laws
to conform to present conditions.
Should these bills be passed, Colo
rado may well be proud of the con-
gressman from the western slope.
whose every heart beat is in sym
pathy with the toiler who receives
his competence from the bowels of
Mother Earth.

MINING BRINGS PROSPERITY

Did 1t ever occur to the people of
Pueblo, Colorado Springs, or Denver
that their tourist travel is largely
indebted to mining? The tourist
visits Colorado because of her seen
ic attractions that may be viewed
from her numerous mountain rail-
roads never would have been built
had not our rich mines been discov-
cred that induced capital to gridiron
the mountains for the iron horse to
handle their product Many of these
mines being in the heart of the seen
ic country. these cities receive a
double revenue, first by the trans
portation of tourists over these lines,
and secondly by selling to, and re-
ceiving their products. The Colora-
do farmer also depends upon the
mining towns for their market and
the more paying mines that are open
ed the larger becomes the mining
population, and the greater the popu-
lation, the more readily can he dis
pose OF his products. In fact, Colo
radios prosperity must ever be large
ly indebted TO her mines.

QUARTZ HILL PITcHsLENoE

The interest that has recently been
manifested in radium has created a
public demand for information both
practical and theoretical in regard
to the mineral deposits from which
1t is derived. A short report by Ed
son S. Bastin on the Geology of
the Pitchblende Ores of Colorado"
recently issued by the United States
Geological Survey. deals mainly with
the geology, mineralogy, and origin
of these deposits, their practical ut
ilization having been treated some
what fully in other publications.
The quantity Of uranium ores min
ed in the United States is exceeding
small, and the great bulk OF 1t,
from Utah and southwestern Colora-
do, does not carry pitchblende but
contains the brilliant yellow uranium
mineral, carnotite. The small pitch
blende production of this country is
all from the one locality described
In this report, in the heart of Gilpin
county, famous as the birthplace of
the gold-mining industry of Colorado.
There pitchblende occurs as a con-
stituent of mineral veins which were
first worked for their gold. and sill
YER content and which still yield i'm
portant amounts of these precious
metals. 1t is notable that the only
other localities in the world where
pitchblende has been found in impor-
tant quantities in mineral veins are
the Erzgebirge lin Bohemia and Sax

England). Its mode of occurrence in
these countries is also described by
Mr.. Bastin.
