The question of the sheep grazing
on the forest reserves in San Juan
county was most thoroughly discuss
ed with Forest Supervisor Shaw at
meeting of the Commercial club, VINO
came up from Durango for that pur-
pose. SUPERVISOR Shaw presented
the matter clearly and with fairness
to all. The opposition was almost
unanimous, but as most OF our Iarg
est mine operators were absent, the
matter was referred to a committee
to be appointed by the president in
order that both sides Of the matter
might be thoroughly investigated.
Owing to the Typographical condi-
tons of the county, promiscuous sheep
grazing can be nothing less than u
nuisance and the proposition made by
Attorney Ross that present condi-
lions, which means no grazing i'll the
principal water sheds, will undoubt-
eddy receive the endorsement of the
committee and club as it should

Mining Notes From silverton Miner.

Mining Notes From Silvert0n Miner.
The high price Of zinc these days
is causing the Sunnyside mine to
crowd its shipments, and both mills
are running to their utmost capacity.
This property has always produced
more or less zinc, but during the past
two or three years particular atten-
ton has been paid to this metal. The
zinc plant, which was constructed last
year, has proven to be u success in
every way. 1t is an electrical sepa-
ration process. With the present
high metal quotations on this metal,
special interest and attention is be-
ing given to this plant. 1t is living
up to all expectations.
On Wednesday of this week Sheriff
Pearson sold all of the properties for
merly owned by the Hercules Con-
sOlidated Mining company, and at the
sale John X. Smith. Of Denver, be-
came the owner of the properties. As
he was redemption execution credi-
tor, this sale placed good title in
him, and soon early resumption Of
work on that property may be expect
ed. Mr.. Smith is an attorney of Dem
yer, and represents some of the for
mer stockholders in the property, and
this sale was in a way clearing up
of the title. While no one has re-
ceived any definite news, yet it is ex-
pected that the new owners will take
some action soon looking towards a
resumption of work there.
