A RAW DEAL

Tony Dalla and company, leasing
on the Eureka mine at the outskirts
OF Central City's corporation lines,
last week shipped carload of smelt
ing ore to the American Smelling &
Refining Co., at Denver The car con.
tanned 24.55 tons of ore. This ore
was refused as worthless by the A.
s. & r. Co., on account of. Its large
per cent Of zinc, the assay value be-
ing l17h ozs. gold lilo o1s silver
and 2S.20To zinc. After being refus-
ed by the smelter, Chamberlain and
company was asked to make a bid
and their bid was one dollar per ton.
The mining company then ordered the
car shipped back to Black Hawk. And
here Is where the fine Italian hand
Of the Colorado and Southern got in
its work by charging them 40 cents
per hundred. or $196.40 for the lot.
President Sayre Of the Gilpin chap
ter, Mines and Metals association, be

road officials with the result that
the car was shipped to Black Hawk
for $73.55 freight charges for the
round (or up and down trips) and ar
additional rebate made of $25.55. re
ducipg the round trip freight bill to
$49-00. When the car arrived at Blacl
Hawk 1t was sold to the American
Metals Producing company for $442.S
and after deducting treatment charges
gave the mining company a check
for s3S6.72.
For the last 20 years have the
mine owners and lessees OF this and
other mining counties been subject
cd to this "gentlemanly treatment
from ore buyers and railroad corpora
tons until forbearance has ceased
to be virtue. and legislation should
be demanded that will protect the
mine owner and miner from these ex
orbitant charges that are daily pau
perizing the mining states.

WHEELER HELD IN
HIGHEST ESTEEM

] A man seekinp public office could
ask no higher praise than that which
comes from the opposition. Such is
the confidence and esteem in which
Samuel N. Wheeler, designated by
the Democrats for one of the supreme
court positions, is held by the people
of the Western Slope, irrespective
OF politics. The Grand junction. Daily
News, a Republican paper, Is most
cordial in its endorsement OF Mr..
Wheeler and like all Mr.. Wheeler's
friends or acquaintances regards him
from every viewpoint as splendid
type OF citizen and jurist to grace
the supreme bench. The editor of
the Observer has known Samuel N.
Wheeler a good many years and can
endorse every statement made by
the News in the following tribute:
The Democratic party meets in
state assembly next Tuesday, in
Denver, and one of the names sub
mftted for the office of the supreme
court will be our neighbor and loyal
citizen, Hon. S. N. Wheeler. Words
from us in his favor are almost super
fMous. His ability as an attorney.
his loyalty to the western slope and
his home city; his big-heartedness,
bis broad outlook on human nature
his straightforward transactions In
daily life are all traits of character
that his friends and neighbors know
better than we can say. If he Sc
cures the nomination from the Demo
cratic assembly We feel sure that the
people of the western slope will give
him support of which he will be
more than proud. The matter of sup
| porting him is not personal one, 1t
Is q loyalty to our neighbor. 1t is
l not a selfish business one, but it is
supporting man who, through his
whole life has been of and for the
western slope. Place in office men
of the caliber of S. N. Wheeler and
this section will receive that atten-
tion from the state government that
We require. The News cheerfully
and intellectually bears testimony
to the splendid character of S. N.
| Wheeler, and in doing so realizes
that IT only voices the thoughts and
feelings of his neighbors of the Grand
Valley"

LAKE MINE

The lessees on this reliable produc-

the last two weeks are not all in,
but Manager Sayre assures us they
will equal that OF the first half.
There are many mines in the county,
now idle, that If worked in the sys-
tematic manner as that of the Lake

tally those in the Nevada and Black

TILLMAN HEARD FROM

Washington Aug. 3O.-Weeping as
he spoke. Senator Tillman of South
Carolina. before leaving for hds home
tor the remainder of the session, ad-
dressed the senate today with refer
lence to, the recent speech OF Charles
E. Hughes, in which the latter
brought up the sectional issue.
1T must have surprised and shock
ed you senator's" said Mr. Tillman,
Ito find that, more than fifty-one
years after Appomattox, when all the
great chieftains CT our civil
struggle have passed over on the 9th
er side-where there is NO north,
south, east or west. but only the glory
OF God everywhere-a candidate for
the high office of president of these
reunited States should have thought
it necessary or even permissible to
drag forth that old blood and mud
bespattered banner of 'sectionalsm'
and wave it over the heads Of the
present generation of Americans"
The senator said tEat IL he had
done anything in the past twenty
years to keep alive the smoldering
fires OF sectionalism they had long
since died out in his heart.
Il did not earn the nickname Of
'Pitchfork' on account of my parti-
sanship," he said. 1T was due to
the bluntness and frankness with
which / spoke. One year, at the
most two, sufficed to make all the
Republicans in the senate know that
while radical and uncompromising
my word could be relied on always.
apd many of the warmest friends
have had as senators have been the
Republicans whom l have known
here.
Let me, IL l may, before taking
leave, to meet you again by the mer-
cy of God in December hold out the
olive branch to you, and through all
Of you, to the constituencies which
you represent, in the earnest hope
that 1t may silence this untustifiable
and unseemly cry OF 'sectionalism,'
even as it once heralded the reced
ing waters of the deluge.
IF ! ever did hate northern peo-
ple-and ! confessed to that the last
time / spoke here-that hatred and
partisanship has died out of my heart
and the pitchfork, II 1t was consid-
cred the emblem for 1t has long since
been buried. From its grave an olive
branch has grown and ! am tender
ing the branch, claiming to repre-
sent the south in doing so, to all the
northern people.
"The country belongs to all Of us
and we belong to It. The men OF
the north, south, east and west cary
ed 1t out of the wilderness and made
1t great among the nations Of the
earth. Let us share It with each 9TH
er. giving to It the best that Is in
us Of brain and Drawn and heart"
