OIL BUBBLES BRING PROSPERITY

That the oil flotatiOn process will
revolutionize ore treatment, and add
millions of dollars to the revenues
of the mines, is now settled fact.
1t is still in its infancy; but 1t has
achieved popularity by leaps and
bounds, and today is heralded as one
of the greatest discoveries ever made
in mining. There have been other
processes that were am improvement
on their predecessors, but the oil
flotation method for many purposes
tops them all.
ed the oil flotation idea with vim.
In all parts of the state flotation
mills are being installed or are in
operation. San Juan county, with
it's refractory ores, acclaims the oil
process as a splendid boon, and now
every district there has its mills.
Montezura county, Gunnison, Clear
Creek, Gilpin, Teller and other coun-
ties are using, or experim enting with
the process, and great results are
practically certain. The great gold
camp of Cripple Creek is no laggard
in the march of progress, for several
of it's important mining companies
will use oil flotation
Oil flotation is used variously, ac-
cordipg to the ore requirements. In
some districts it has succeeded the
old stamp mills and has banished
cyaniding; in others it is operated
instead of concentrating mills; and
in still others it is successfully used
to handle the tailings or shines frcm
the mills and smelters. Copper plants
employ it principally for concentrat-
ing and in handling the shines from
other processes.
Denver machirery manufacturing G
firms are rushed with orders for oil
flotation mills of sundry types adopt
ed to the distinctive needs of various
mining districts. New devices are
being evolved by experts to make
the process still more broadly effect
i've; and in this connection Denver
no doubt will maintain its reputation
as q center for inventive talent in
all matters pertaining to mirring.
Colorado is far from being alone il
it's strong endorsement of oil flota-
ton. In every western State where
there is mining the process is in
use, with highly gratifying results

all nations as the one place where
men may reside peacefully, where
they shall not be subjected to mill

the financial returns of their toll and

that resisted the great naval and
military power of Great Britain to
form a lasting government founded
on those great principles that other
nations have lacked-absence of
monarchy, absence of political ard
religious dictation and finally the
right of each man TO enjoy his own
possessions free and undisturbed.
TURNING TO
UNCLE SAM.
AT this present day the nations Of
Europe have turned to Uncle Sam
for aid. They have appealed TO him
to free them from the subjugation of
kings and other rulers and grant
them that liberty that they so long
have sought in the Old World in
vain.
The United States offers the only
safe harbor either during or after
the war. 1t has met its immigrants
at Ellis Island and given them a
hearty welcome.
While immigration has been de-
creased since the war 1t is expect
ed to reach its maximum after the
war and 1t is predicted that this will
not find the country flooded with
foreigners who are too poor TO
finance themselves but with men and
women who have forsaken their own
countries in search Of the solace and
the freedom that the United States
alone offers.
The United States immigrant rules
are such that no foreigners who
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1915-12-22

have not sufficient means of sup
port will be admitted. The country
wants sturdy men aud women, who
will settle on its great farm areas
and develop the land. 1t wants men
and women free of disease, persons
who can read and write and above
all men and women who in the ru-
ture may prove an honor to the
country that has adopted them.
The railroads of the United States
are anxious to get hold of men and
women who are good farmers. II
these families have enough money
to buy their farm instruments and TO
tide themselves over for the first
year, the railroads will be glad to
give them long time in paying of
on the land. AS one immigration
agent expressed it: The railroads
would rather have good farmer
with 500 than an inexperienced
farmer with $1,000 or $4,000.
RAILROADS
COOPERATING.
The railroads are admittedly con-
sidering the proposition from the
angle of gain. They want to place
good farmers along their right Of
ways SO that they may derive freight
charges on the products shipped by
these immigrant farmers. They
make every effort, however. TO place
these men on the land most suitable
for their ability.
Recently an Italian village of
about 1000 men has been establish
ed by certain railway at Tony
town, Ark. All the men there are
adept at raising grapes and have
been placed in charge of extensive
yards there. 1t is the object of the
immigration departments of the va
rious railroads to place these men
In climates that are particularly
suited to them and to choose for
them the kind of soil to which they
have been accustomed in their farm
ing in the Old World.
The italian immigrants will not
consider locating any place but
where a number Of their fellow
countrymen reside, and for this rea-
son many of the railroads have
formed colonies. In other sucn ma
tional communities Swedes and Iiel-
gians have been located.

Canada and in the Dakotas. Montana

discourage emigration. The farmers
themselves found their lands fer
tile and profitable in the confines
of the former Prussian empire, but
many of them fed the enforced mil
itary service. In this connection
may be mentioned the three great
editors-Daenzer. Schurz and Pre-
torious who founded great newspa-
pers in the United States and made
fortunes here.
None of them might be referred to
as having fled military service in
the Old World. The three might be
mentioned rather as having sought
freedom OF speech in the United
States.
THE KIND
WANTED.
That 1t is the evident desire OF
many aliens to seek future fortune
in the land Of the free is evidenced
by frequent attempts on the part of
the subjects of other governments to
make their way here. Recently
number OF able-bodied men have
sought to make the journey to Amor
lea with the hope Of escaping the
CONSUMPTION that they fear Great
Britain finally will adopt.
But 1t is conceded that the nations
of the Old World will In future pro-
hibit their able-bodied men from
coming to America.
Before the war certain American
railroads sent representatives to Flu
rope to solicit immigrants to the
United States who would take up
farms and develop the land. For at
least year before the war all of
the nations now engaged prevented
these farmers from departing.
Later the steamship agents, who
make their salaries and commissions
by inducing transatlantic travelling,
took up the matter of immigration 10
the United States. When the pres
ent war lowered with definite GER
tainty over the Old World even the
steamship agents were barred from
soliciting immigrants to the United
States.
While before the war there were
approximately 100000 men, wom-

States to seek freedom under the.

is placed at about 100000.

and other northern states, including
Minnesota. many Swedes and Nor
wegians have found homesteads and
have made success of farming.
The United States itself has about
a million acres of land that it wishes
practically to give to men and wom-
en- who will develop 1t and through
their own prosperity aid in the pros
perity and financial development of
the nation. The United States wants
men and women who can work hard
and make living for themselves
and will guard itself against the
hordes that may sweep in this direc-
ton at the end of the war.
BELGIAN
EXAMPLE.
Much has been said about the Bel
CLANS emigrating and coming TO this
country. Many of their orphans
have been brought here and have
found homes. The United States of
America wishes TO foster every man

whether there will be a great in
fiux of immigrants after the war is
yet matter of conjecture. Real
estate dealers and the railroads real
ize 1t as possibility, but they also
realize that all governments will be
short of expert workmen after the
war and will do their utmost to pre-
vent the emigration Of their men
after the war is settled.
Despite the willingness of Uncle
Sam to give home and employment
to everyone suffering a desire for
freedom, the governments of the Old
World have effectively prevented
emigration for many years before
the war broke out and this is fur

TRAINED
FARMERS.
The United States offers wonder
full opportunities to all who have
the determination to work hard on
the farms allotted them. 1t wants
real farmers and not those who are
experimenting. It offers all the
privileges they are seeking-freedom
in religion, freedom in thought and
freedom from religious limitations.
Its banks are extremely liberal in
giving them the financial backing
they need and those who have the
sum needed for the original invest
ment can readily find sufficient cap
ital to back them in their future en-
deavors.

have known freedom only as that
