CHARGED With FORGERY

Faustino Charlifu, OF La veta, and
hupen Truiillo, of this place, were
arrested Wednesday by Marshal Alb
ernathy on warrant charging them
with forgery.
1t seems that Charlifu is a strang-
er in these parts, but through his
friend Trujillo here he found out
that the check of James A. Kelly
was good, so he made one out on the
wallace State bank for S115.00 and
attempted to cash it at the Stow Mer.
camille company. Mr.. Stow took the
check and advanced the men s25 on
1t and bill of groceries, and told
them he would give them the bal
ance of the money when they re-
turned for the groceries.
Mr.. Stow Immediately took the
check to the Wallace bank and they
pronounced it a forgery. Mr.. Stow
then got out 4 warrant for the men
and started out to find them. They

Alternately and Mr.. Stow found them
on their way to Alamosa
Marshal Alternately brought them
back and took them before Judge
Hender. The men both pleaded
guilty, requesting that they be SEN
fenced at once. Judge Hender
bound them over to the district
court. as they were unable to give
bonds. Charlifu had $40 and Tru-
jillo had SIS of the money that Mr..
Stow gave them. This was recov-
cred, so the Stow Mercantile com
pany was not out anything, as the
men never returned for the gro
ceries

iSaieoi lSld
In the issue of July 3, you spoke
of the cheap treatments of ores, -
and asserted that low grade of sui
phide yields most after roasting 4"
You cited the Mercer mine, which
has paid 20 per cent on its capital in
support of your contention. From
tons of ore are roasted every day,
and over 80 per cent of the gold is
extracted by potassium cyanide. No
longer experiments. These mills
proving the truth of your claim that
the most OF the gold contents yield
quicker and cheaper after roasting"
1t is true that the Golden Cycle peo-
pie have neglected to state the cost
of roasting their ore at Colorado
City, but having figures on expense
of the same ores in the mills of Grip
pie Creek, and inasmuch as the Colo
road City mills handle more ore in
one day than the Cripple Creek mills
do in one month, it seems safe to as
sumo that the mills at Colorado City
treat ores at less per ton than at any
other place, and the owners of said
mills have acted with entire satisfac-
ton to themselves, when they have
kept silent upon the cost of ore
treatment
Your conclusion seems to be that
we can treat ore as cheaply as they
can, and do as well as they have
done under similar circumstances.
1t is true that there is no fuel for
roasting ore in some of the camps
around this valley, and plenty in
others, but in answer to a question.
l wish to say that this seems plain
to the wayfaring man, that when the
fuel is as scarce and high in price in
any camp as it was in Cripple Creek
those intending to mill such large
bodies OF ore as the Portland and
Independence will do as these last
named companies did-build mills to
treat ores without roast at the mines
However, the Cripple Creek mine and
mill owners built much larger mills
near Colorado City, and inasmuch as
chemicals and fuel and everything
else which enters into the expense of
the treatment of ores is cheaper at
the latter place, they chose to roast
their ores, hence it seems to me that
the treatment of their ore costs less
and their saving is greater per ton

CONTENTION OF ROAST IN Low COST OF
ORE TREATMENT BORNE OUT IN PRACTICE

by roasting-and this explains why
they roast in Colorado City and do
not at the mines. and why others
should adopt the cheaper and better
method used at the former place,
especially as these men are in bust
ness for the money there is in 1t.
The question to be settled Is, will
cheap low heat roast prepare sui
phide ores for cyanide treatment"
The answer is, 1t does it now wher-
ever they recover the highest per
cent of gold and silver from the ores.
Again. am permitted to just hint
at present at the probability of get
ting a precipitant that will save some
cyanide. and do away with zinc, with
lead, and with sulphuric acid and at
cost per ton of ore, not to exceed
the price of zinc shavings. which
with its lead couple, Is now being
used in every cyanide mill OF the
latest pattern, and will reduce the
expense of cyanide treatment wher-
ever adopted.
Your statement relative to the
large dividends paid to stockholders
are correct, and II they emphasize
anything. 1t is that legitimate min
ing has evidently been neglected all
too long.
In conclusion. 1t might be we'll to
assure your readers. that we as
miners ask no special favors. We
need money to help us to add some
thing to the worlds wealth. in the
form Of gold, silver. lead. copper
and zinc.
We want money at the same rate
of interest as the government now
gives 1t to the bankers.
One of your correspondents, in
July issue, declared that the bank
ers are God Almighty's noblemen.
but, in light vein, you could be
pretty good "noblemen" yourself II
paternal government should con-
clude to donate millions of money on
watered stock and bond securities.
and then, for fear you might want
for something, give you millions
more at l rer cent interest on bond
security.
The farmers and miners want
some of these millions at the same
rate of interest the banker has paid
for over fifty years, and I'll appreci-
ate the privilege of a reply to the
bankers tool. Peter Radford, at
some later date.

years we will have no such men. The
law was made for them, and not for You

The best thing to do is to forget the

One question advanced regarded the
use of drugs by trained nurses. 1t
was shown that IT would be unlawful
for a nurse to have in her possession
habit-forming drugs, unless they were
given her by a physician for a specific
use, and that If a patient should need
a dose of morphine in the absence of
a physician. the physician would have
to be found before the drug could be
administered.
The use of drugs in sanatoriums in
