GIVE JUSTICE TO MINING

The Denver Post is making an up
roar because the governor has signed
the bill placing the taxation of mines
back to the law of 1902. The law
passed by the nineteenth general as
sembly, placing a tax on gross out
put, as well as the net output, did
mining great injustice, and if al
lowed to remain upon the statute
books, would have ruined the indus
try. We may talk about our cattle
grazing upon thousand hills, our
prospective manufactures, and our
system of irrigation and dry farming
and it seems very plausible. But
destroy mining and in the space of
two short decades, every western
mountain state would lapse into a
state of lethargy, and again become
the home of the beasts of the forest
and jack rabbit of the plains.
1t is true that the lands of Colo,
RADIO are very prolific when brought
under irrigation, but how much of it
can be irrigated? Turn to the map
of Colorado and you will find that
the state is 270 miles from north to
south, and in this vast expanse we
have but two rivers flowing to the
eastward. The one in the north is
the Platte, and flows from the noun.
tains across the plains into Nebras.
ka, ard has a narrow strip irrigated
on each side this entire distance
The one at the south is the Arkan

irrigated lands on both banks that
is very prolific. These two rivers
have irrigated lands that collectively
does not exceed fifty miles in width
as against 220 miles of dry farming
lands that cannot be irrigated.
The gold and silver mines of the
mountains have been worked for hall
a century and the gold output for the
present year will undoubtedly ex
ceed any previous years production

OLD TOWN MINE

The Roberts and Hutchins lease
on the POO foot level of the Old
Town mine located in Russell Gulch,
is proving to be one of the best, If
not the best, bodies of rich ore ev-
er opened up in this county. This
immense body of high grade ore has
been opened for a distance of near
ly 100 feet in length, is from eight
to ten feet wide, and is exposed by
a winze for ninety feet in heighth.
The ore Is soft tale, easily mined
and can be taken out as fast as
transportation can be furnished, and
the mills make the treatment. A
carload of ten tons treated in their
last shipment, returned an average
OF over $120 per ton. Forty tons of
concentrates from their second class
ores returned an average of $40 per
ton, after 81 900 worth of pure gold
had been caught from their shines.
On the 1,JOO foot level, Bawden
and company are driving both east
and west from the shaft, and have
the ground leased to the 1,30O foot
level where Bray and company are
stopping on an eight-foot streak di-
rectly under Roberts and Hutchins.
On the LOO foot level, Chapple and
company are stopping on a good body
OF ore.
The 1000 foot level has recently
been leased, and Davis and company
are stoping from tie 800 foot level.
On the 700 foot level, Simmens and
company are stoping on good sized
streak of ore of high values.
There is more activity about this
mine at present than has been known
in many years, and proves conclus-
iyely that when cur mines are ex-
plored at great depth, larger and
richer ore bodies are found.

MYSTERIOUS FIRES AT NorUs

Three mysterious fires occurred
near Notus on Friday night of last
week which are believed to be of in
cendiary origin. 1t is peculiar that in
not one instance can the fires be ac-

Reed Sheets lost fine barn in

the fire. There was no insurance.
Fire broke out in the homes ofMrs.
A. Anderson and Stephen DIETRICH at
about the same time. Both residences
were a total loss, together with their
contesnts. Mrs. Anderson and her
little daughter were asleep when the
fire broke out and escaped from the
burning building with difficulty. There
was $1,000 dollars insurance on the
house and contents, 1t was a six.
room structure.

occupied except that two young lady

FORWARD CLUB PLAYS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL

The two farce comedies given by
the ladies of the Forward club Mon
day evening at the Huree theatre,
proved to be a decided success.
Mrs. K. B. Scatterday, the director,
is either a very unusually talented wo-
man or she found remarkable talent in
those taking part-probablv due Gre
dit should be given each. Everyone
IN the casts Of both plays acquitted
themselves with credit.
In the first sketch. Tea at Four
O'Clock" Mrs. Roy Rockwell had the
star part, and left nothing to be said
IN criticism of her acting. Mrs. A. l.
Myers had the contrasting role and
proved thoroughly enjoyable with her
little feminine inuendess which kept
the heroine in spiritual turmoil. Mr..
Beale in his spirited love scenes gave
evidence of decided talent-or some
experience. Every single character
deserves mention, but lack of space
forbids individual mention.
The second farce, Balm Of Gilead "
proved the most laugh-provoking. Mr..
Quasi and Mrs. Holt occupied the
center OF attention and were simSly
delightful in their characterization
OF the roles. The Interpretation of
two newly weds would be interesting
under any circumstances-given by
Mr. Frank Mumford and Miss Eliza
beth O'Connor-and the audience ap-
peared to thoroughly enjoy the char
acters as depicted
The club ladies cleared some $40 or
$50 from the shows, besides winning
the warm appreciation of the fun-lov-
ing public.

BIG DEWEY ESTATE
READY FOR DIVISION

1t is announced that the Dewey es-
tate is soon to be divided among the
heirs of the late Colonel w. H..
Dewey. The heirs are, the widow,
Mrs. w. H. Dewey, sons, E. H. and
w. c., and daughter, Mrs. Robert
Davis.
Col Dewey was one of the earliest
pioneers of Idaho, locating at Silver
City in the early sixties, where he
soon became one of the leading citi-
zens of the state. He was especially
energetic and engaged in many large
enterprises, giving his chief attention
in the later years of his business &C
tivity to mining. In this he was sue
cessfui.
In the management of the vast
holdings he was assisted by the elder
son, E. H. Dewey, and when he died
at the ripe age of "a, in May, 1908,
E, H. Dewey was made trustee for
the estate and has managed it ever
since.
|, Since the death of Col. Dewey the
railroad has been sold to the o. S. L.
power plant to what is now the Elec-
trical Investment company, and much
real estate bought and sold. At the
present the estate consists of large
realty holdings, both land and city
property, and securities. If any val
Auations are made for the division oil
the property, now being made, they
have not been made public, but the
general opinion is that the estate ha.
been materially increased in value
since Col. Dewey's death and at tn,
present time is we'll into seven figures

Figures in the Report.
Especial to Caldwell Tribune. }

NSpeClal TO CalQWell IrlDune,D
Boise, Oct. l3.-Attorney James S.
Bogart has filed his report relative to
the state treasury defalcation. He
placed the document in the hands of
Governor Alexander and Attorney
General Peterson, members of the de
pository board, last Saturday. Mr..
Bogart has been exporting the treas
ury books for some months in order
to establish the exact shortage of ex-
Treasurer Allen and his deputy, Fred
M. Coleman. According to this re-
port, prepared for the purpose of es-
tablishlng the amount due the state
from the bondsmen of the defaulting
officials, the total shortage amounts
to $l33.608,82.
The Bogart report is withheld from
the public for the present upon advice
of the legal department of the state
in order not to disclose the states
evidence in advance of the trial, in
case it becomes necessary to bring suit
against the bonding company for re-
endorsement. Now that the amount
of the shortage has been established,
demand will be made upon the COM
pany acting as bondsmen for Allen
and Coleman, and in case the state is
not reimbursed by the bondsmen,
suit will be brought by the state to re-
cover upon the bond.
When expert Brogart entered upon
his duties, there was an admitted
shortage of $92,5l7.03, as found by
Axel Ramstedt, President of the Utili-
ties Commission, while he was tenn
porarily in charge of the treasurer's
Office. This shortage was admitted
by Allen and Coleman who pleaded
guilty and were sentenced to terms
in the penitentiary. To this amount
Mr.. Brogart adds $4l,0ol.7o. A part
Of this latter amount is embezzeled
funds and part is interest on en-
bezzeled funds. The state will de-
mand of the National Surety Com
pany the sum of $l33,608.82 as reim-
bursement for the defalcations. The
state is secured by official bonds con-
siderably in excess of the shortage.
1t is said that the report will show
that Aliens defalcations commenced
before he was in Office year. He is
reported to have been short the fol-
lowing amounts on the dates given
