According to Capt. James
Smith, mining editor of the
Rocky Mountain News, there is
an increase in the ore production
of twenty per cent so far this
year over that of last year.
He aims to keep close tab
on the production of the differ
ent mining camps and in refer
ence to Idaho Springs camp this
increase is very gratifying and is
only indicative Of an increased
production in the year to come.
Many of our mines have recently
come into a better stage of pro-
duction while there are others
that are beginning to show the
metal they contain and which will
soon be opened up on a large
shipping scale.

Olson, Anderson, Lindall and
Eckberg have a lease on a block
of ground in the drift of the Sun
and Moon, east of the Newhouse
tunnel, where they began operat-
ing several weeks ago. They had
a small streak of ore and it has
increased in size until in the
breast it is now three feet and ten
inches wide They have made a
shipment this week of about IS
tons to the Argo mill and all indi-
cations point to large shipments
III the near future and with en-
couraging regularity They have
'rut their money faithfully and reg
ularly i'll this and other leases and
it is hoped they will take out large
dividends for their faith and per-
severance.

While we are reading of the hor-
rors, privations and sufferings Of
the European War that stir the
blood in our veins, we do not real
ize that in our midst there are vet
Grams of the Civil War who en-
dured similar privations. And in
later days there are those who en-
dured the trials of the recent war.
Perhaps none of us can appreciate
these sufferings more deeply and
sympathize more strongly with the
sufferers than our townsman, Ed
die Rohner, a Spanish War veter-
an and one who wears the badge
of this organization. He was on
the "Olympia," Admiral Dewey S
flagship, when it sailed into Man
lila Bay and engaged the Span
ish fleet in it's attempt to stand
out for it's country, but lost out.
He was with Admiral Kemp at
Tacu, China, during all the hor-
rible and hideous features of the
Boxer uprising, participating in
all the trying scenes of the trou-
BILE. When the ill-fated cruiser,
the &c Charleston" was ship
wrecked and was lost, and which
cost this government 100000.
Eddie was one of the crew which
sought refuge on an almost bar
rem island and was isolated there
waiting anxiously for relief that
did not show up for three weeks,
during which time they subsisted
on a scanty supply of rice and
water. He served in the United
States navy nearly five years and
left the service with an excellent
record.

A number of our citizens are
looking to California as a refuge
for warm weather and genial eli
mate, and yet it is hard to beat
the Idaho Springs weather, even
if we do have the cold breeze oc-
casionally that makes one stir
lively. Take it all around and it
will be hard to find climate
that is more healthy and inviting
than the blue skies and invigor-
ating atmosphere, winter or sum-
mer, that one can find in this Gem

ing of vital importance to the con-

legislation, federal aid for good
roads, best methods of construct
ing and rnaintaing good roads and
how can Colorado reap the best
advantage from the construction
of better highways,
The arrangements for the con-
vention are in cha, ge of q COM

Convention League Application

roads Of the state for the CUSTOM
ar, low rates always granted on

ties at this time. Again the ques-
ton of road constru ction will also
be thoroughly considered, and in
this, the advice of the COVE nment

Mining Meeting

- A>pursuance of notice given in
e city papers by the president
the Metal Mining Association,
meeting was held on Monday
evening in the Council Chamber.
About twenty-five persons, inter
ested in mining and milling, in
some capacity, were in attendance,
The meetingEas organized by
the election of E. Moscript as
chairman and w. AZ Funk as sec
retary. After stating briefly the
purpose .fpr (WHICH the meeting
was called, the secretary read the
official communicationsf'om John
NJ. O'Connel, secretary Of the
state organization, his was in
the nature Of an urgent request
that those interested get together
as soon as possible and discuss
certain issues of vital Importance
to the mining industry of our
state. Accompanying the latter
was another formal communica-
tion addressed to all presidents
and secretaries of county branch
Is, which contained about dozen
questions along the line of legis-
. lative suggestions to be proposed
by the next session of the Gener-
al Assembly. The meeting was
urged to take up the discussion
of these questions at very early
date and report the ultimate re-
suits thereof to the state organiza-
stion for immediate action.
The question which received
greatest consideration and weight
was that Of the present system OF
taxation. Realizing that it was
!. impossible to get representative
opinion from the comparatively
small number present, commit
tee was appointed to draft let
ter to be addressed to the promi-
nent mining men of the county
reqnestino their sindividual opin-
Ion upon the various matters
which will be suggested. A date
will be set in the near future fol-
another meeting, at which it is tc
ha~-akaped there will be q much
ElaEger attenaapcesa assthere are
sj(s&ffefS Isl pressing importance tc
be considered and it is highly es-
sential to each and every man in
terested in mining, regardless OF
what individual business he may
be interested in, that legislation
favorable to the mining industry
may be enacted at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
Hence it behooves every individ-
ual, miner, operator, business or
professional man, mechanics or
laborer, to lend his effort to make
the next meeting-a success both in
interest and numbers.
The committee appointed to
draft the letter referred to, con-
sists of OFT H. Heiser, Guy C.
Stumm, Father McCabe, E. NJ.
Moscript, j. T. Mallalieu and W.
A. Funk. Those present contrib
uted voluntarily five dollars to
defray whatever incidental ex-
penses the committee may be put
to, after which the meeting ad-
journed. There was considerable
interest manifested by those pres
ent in the object for which this
meeting was called, and along
with the efforts that are being
put forth in other mining coun-
ties along the same lines there is
no question, but that legislation
will be secured that will greatly
benefit the mining industry and
bring about a more equitable
method of mining taxation.

"The minister of finance, p. Bark,

edict prohibiting traffic in this liquor
