WILSON BEGINS HIS ITINERARY

Washington, Jan. 24.-President
Wilson began today efforts to speed
UP the legislative machinery of con-
gress to clear the way for the pre-
paredness program.
The president discussed the ap-
preparation bills today with Repres-
entatives Flood, Stovers, Lever and
Page, chafrmen respectively of the
house foreign affairs Indian and agri-
cultural committees and the District
of Columbia subcommittee of the APP
preparations committee. He told them
he hoped congress could finish its
work and adjourn before the nation
al political conventions. Trey as
sured him of their assistance, but
some of them doubted whether the
session could be ended tfat soon.
Plans for pushing legislation will
be taken up further by the president
and his cabinet tomorrow.
In his preparedness speeches the
president plans to discuss perpared-
ness and other issues pending be-
fore the country. in the frankest way
possible. He las been told by cab

The Livingston mine has produced
hundreds Of Thousands of ounces Of
gold-pure gold, but the first ounce
of this gold that ever brought the
standard price of $20.67 per ounce
was sold last week by Manager
Wolff. TIE smefer trust has paid
$3.50 and less fer this gold which
was worth S20.67. On every ounce
of the thousands of thousands from
this magnificent mine Guggenheim
has taken his $1.17 without apology
or excuse. But row the Livingston
is emancipated. The magnificent mill
gives to tire owners the pure gold
which is turned over to the United
States miGt at its coinage value.
That $1.17 ON the ounce will go far
toward paying the ccst of the mill
ing Of the ere ard in any cese It
remains to swell the income of tie
investors who are mining the gold
rather than to increase the millions
of the smelter trust g-afters who
have so long robted and abused
the mining industry. When Co'ora-
do mires shall eventually escape the
extortion of the smelters and attain
independence in tire reduction OF the
ores then will there be return OF
sperity.-Poulder County Mirer.

FLOTATIoN WILL NOT
SUPERCEDE QUITE ALL
OTHER PROCESSES

As YVES to have been expected,
there is a tendency to demand some
what too much CT the flotation pro-
cess. which is neither fair nor wise.
says the Mexican Mining Journal. 1t
is now predicted in some quarters
that the new bubble scheme will prt
most of the cyanide mills out of
business, or at least, SO modify them
that their builders would not recog-
nize them. The old water-gravity
concentrators with ell their special
devices and improvem ment are also
slated for an early decline and dis
appearance.
Flotation will no doubt greatly in
fluence the metallurgy of the near
future, and it will make mines possi-
listed before. But the manufacturers
of concentrating end cyanide machin-
cry are not yet in danger Of losing
their last patron. The field in which
the new process offers so many pos
sibiMt.es les in the gaps left va
cant by tie older methods. 1t is in
the treatment Of the fine grained
ores which in order to release the
values must be crushed so fine that
ordinary water concentration process
es are useless, and in shines unin-
tentionally too finely ground for or
dinary concentration methods, that
flctation offers so many advantages.
1t also promises to be particularly
helpful in saving fine PARTICLES of
mineral wealth from the nature of
their composition would escape ex-
traction by cyanide.
Coarsely grained ores will continue
to call for jigs and tables. for flota-
ton is effective only ON compara-
lively fine material and grinding is
a costly operation. For ores which
are suitable for treatment. cyanida-
ton has the advantage that 1t yields
bullion in a single and rather simple
operation, while flotation produces
concentrates which appear to be
especially difficult to convert to the
bullion state.
Flotation is rot likely to super
cede many processes. 1t will rather
supplement there already in use. GOV
ering corners in the field of metal
lurgy, hitherto left untouched.
1t would be interesting to compile
a list Of TIE mills in which the ex
Traction las been increased from Il
to 20 per cent by the introduction
OF the fiotation process. The last
10 per cent of extraction often means
the difference between profit and
loss. No wonder the people OF Col
orado feel grateful to Mrs. Eversom
and wish to honor her name.

AMONG THE MINES
BIG FIVE TUNNEL

The Big Five Mining and Develop
ment company that has already
driven the tunnel from Idaho Springs
to the Gilpin county line, have start
ed to extend it to Russell Gulch. The
next 1000 feet will crossout a belt
OF gold mines that for richness Of
gold ores and durability of strong f.s-
sure, have seldom had their equal in
the history of geld mining, many Of
them having been worked for fifty
years, and produced millions Of del
lars in gold.
This belt, tlat the heading is
about to penetrate, will cross such
we'll known producers as the White
and Red Cloud, Iron West, Pawtucke
Santiago, Iron, Fulton, Rocky Noun
tain Terror, Becky Sharp, Federal,
Pewabic, Old Town, Russell, Home
stake, Free Coinage, and many 9th
ers.
Many of these mines were discov-
cred in the early sixties, and have
been worked almost continuously ev-
er since. Their history shows that
the deeper they have been worked,
the more strong and larger they be-
come, and when the tunnel cuts
them at a depth, many hundred feet
below their deepest workings, with
out Doubt greater bodies OF ore will
be revealed than were ever known
from surface workings.
! Should the tunnel be extended an
other 1000 feet from the aforesaid
point, it will pass through another
ore zone equally as rich, and cut
the Gold Rock. Pendleton, Fairfield,
Delaware, Torekas Leavenworth, JEFF
ferson, Calhoun and the uranium
mines Of Leayenworth gulch and
Quartz hill, to the town Of Nevada
Vile, whose early producers Of rich
gold ores made that town famous
Throughout tie world.
Some $2OO,OO0,O0O have already
been extracted from the surface work
ings, and when the tunnel penetrates
these zones with it's immense depth,
there will be on an average OF 1000
feet of this rich virgin ground above
the tunnel level. The above produc-
tion only represents about two miles
square, and Gilpin county contains
about 10 square miles of territory
that when developed to a like ex-
tent, will prove equally as good, and
the wealth contained therein is al.
most beyond calculation.

GOD GIVE US MEN"

in parliament and the press, over
L theories and methods and for fac
tional and class advantages, when the
country is visibly in danger of losing a
war in which it's national existence is at
stake, probably strikes many Americans
as a descent into the abysses of partisan
folly and of fanatic refusal to look facts
in the face
Yet before censuring the incompetence
in a national crisis of life or death OF an
other peoples chosen leaders it becomes
us to look at home and consider whether
many of our chosen leaders are showing
more wisdom and patriotism and less pet
tiness. The spectacle OF the debates IN
the American congress last week and es-
pecially that of the assaults OF numerous
senator's of his own party upon the presi-
dent, certainly was not one to raise the
national pride or justify large assumptions
of superiority.
Here is the President of the United
States trying by every means in his pow
er to preserve for his country peace, and
not peace merely, but peace with honor.
Thanks largely to the refusal in the past
of the very men who now revlle nm to
look beyond petty immediate interests ne
faces unarmed, save with the justice OF
his cause, war-maddened nations armed
to the limit of their peoples long endeav-
or and resolved upon overriding every
human right that stands in the way OF
victory.
Yet in such a crisis men whom the
American people have chosen to provide
for their welfare and their safety bubble
and squabble and utter foolish words.
Some of them even descend into such
depths of pif1ing futility as to accuse OF
seeking his own death servant OF the
United States proceeding to the post OF
duty assigned him by his government by
the conveyance he had every right to use
and in using which he was wantonly MUIR
dered.
When they see and hear senator OF the
United States accusing Consul McNeely
of committing suicide all loyal Americans
feel sense of nausea and look about them
to find veil to draw over such an exhlbl-
ton of shutting cowardice in high places:
And their misery is increased by the
knowledge that other nations must needs
observe and note this exhibition and deem
it representative of our general concep-
tons of national honor!
These are indeed days in which no
American can feel free to censure imbecil-
ity in high places of other nations. We
have too much of it here at home. A few
weeks ago we gave thanks as nation Tor
our peace and prosperity. The time seems
to have come for day of prayer for light
and leading and for broadly patriotic men
to rise up and help us to keep our honor
without stain and our country secure from
the destruction that threatens through fol-
ly of counselors.
God give us men! The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and
willing hands;
Men whom the lust Of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils Of office cannot buy;
