Open Letter to the Farmers
OF La Plata County.

On returning from Denver last
week where he went with his second
shipment of hogs to find better mar
kets, L. B. Burnham wishes to say to
his fellow farmers and brothers in
the Grange that he is very well sat
isfied with the success he has had
and the great opportunities he has
found in the way of excellent mar
kets for all the products of our
farmers in Southwest Colorado. He
is especially gratified to learn that
the farmers of the San Juan basin
will never again be at the mercy OF
our local dealers and poor markets
as we have been in the past.
We can put our own agents in the
field, do our own business, and get
the best markets in the U. S. A. for
ranges and farms. So let us now get
busy, finish our organization of the
Oranges, put our agents in the field
and proclaim an emancipation proc
lamation to the farmers and grange
works of the State of Colorado say
ing-Brothers and fellow-farmers
we have arrived at a condition in
our lives and business affairs when
everything is ready for us to free
ourselves from the oppression we
have endured and the proverty we
have suffered thruout our past lives.
Let us now go forth to the victory,
with malice toward none but with
love and faith in our fellowmen, and
the great and noble cause we have
been struggling for SO many years.
Let us complete the organizations of
our Oranges all over the state. And
let US call and hold our business
meetings at the earliest possible
date. And let our Worthy Masters.

go and select or appoint County
Superintendent of Agents. One who
will be in shape to cooperate with
our worthy state secretary, Bro. Ru-
dolph Johnson and our Grange pur-
chasing agent Bro. Kramer. Let our
local agents call business meetings
every week and get list of the
stuff they have for sale and of farm
implements, fencing material and all
things the farmer needs. And if
money is needed, and it will be need
ed in large quantities, let out busi-
ness agents first call upon our local
bankers and see what arrangements
can be made to finance the farmers
immediate needs. If they fail in that,
let our Grange workers get togeth-
er speedily and organize their Ma
tional Farm Loan associations and
put in their orders for all the 6 per
cent money they will need for their
! business. Also to purchase more
live stock, which alone will make
and perpetuate prosperity on all of
the farms of Colorado as it has done
and is doing in other states and in
countries across the pond.
Let US cease to complain and find
| fault with our local business men
| for that is waste of time, energy
and intelligence. But let us use all
the intelligence we possess in set
ting the wheels of our great organi-
zaton in motion and keep it rolling.
And before Christmas comes again
we will see the beginning of the
greatest prosperity we have ever
dreamed of enjoying in mortal life.
In year or two we will forget all
our past sorrow, poverty and dis
tress, and will have time and means
to live that full and complete life
the good Lord intended for all free
men and women to enjoy.
And then the deserts will blossom
as the rose and there will be peace
and happiness in all our blessed land.

BIG MINING COMPANY
Especial TO The Heraldl

SILVERTON, Feb. 9. - Accord
ing to word from Denver steps are
being taken to reopen the old Hen
rietta mine, near Gladstone about Q
miles from Silverton, on the Silver
ton & Gladstone railroad. This
property was formerly owned and
operated by the San Juan Smelling
4 Refining company and later by
the Henrietta Mining & Milling COM

of these two companies are being
brought together under plan of re-
organization, filed by r. R. Noodle
If Denver, and it is the expectation
that the enterprise will soon be on
firm basis, in which the old stock
holders will participate.
Several years ago the Henrietta,
before being tied up by litigation
and mismanagement, gave promise
of becoming one OF the greatest pro-
lucing mines in the entire district.
While under the management of the
San Juan Smelling 4 Refining COM

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT GAME

One of the largest crowds gather
ed last night to witness the contest
between the Mancos and Durango
basketball teams. More than forty
came over from Mancos to witness
the games, and about half of them
went to Silverton to witness the
games tonight.
The contest between the first
teams resulted in score of "a to s
for Durango. The contest between
the second teams resulted in a score
IF SO to / for Durango. Mr.. Ham
mond by agreement acted as referee.
The games began at o'clock and
were over by 10 when some 120 went
down to the third picture show
which closed about 12.
The special feature of the games
was the playing of Marvin Pheney
who made 16 individual points. Jer-
aid Joyce came in for second place
with IL points.
/ The two field baskets that were
made by Mancos were made by Elk
ins. The other points were made on
fouls.
The Durango fans are now COM
menting on the next game to be
played here on Feb. % by the Sill
verton team.

tation, hauling by wagons, sleds OF
pack trains, of approximately 81 per
ton.
One of the largest orebodies ever
encountered in the San Juan district
was cut by tunnel No. 7. on the Hen
riettta claim and was ITO feet from
wall to wall and carried values in
copper, silver and gold. Numerous
workings of the Henrietta resulted
in the exposure of great, strong bod
les of ore of combined smelling and
milling grade, and it was estimated
at that time that more than 100000
tons of ore were in sight, with a
vast amount of new territory to be
opened up that gave promise of ex-
lceeding the ore reserve revealed by
earlier workings.
The extensive workings of the
Henrietta mine, which also includes
the Sunrise, are laid out on sys-
tenn for the most economic handling
of ore, by the gravity system, and
while it is true that within the past
few years the property has not been
kept up to the highest point of eff
ficiency and it win require consid
cradle work to again put the mine
in proper condition to take advant
age of the economic conditions of
fered, nevertheless experienced min
ing men are confident that it will
not be long after work is commenced
before the Henrietta property will
rank as one of the leading produc
ers of the district.
Adjoining the Henrietta is the
Genessee-Vanderbilt group, under
lease to James Macdonald Hyde, tho
oil flotation expert, and which dur,
ing the year just passed, was one
of the most consistent shippers from
the district. Also much develop
ient work was carried on that re
vealed the continuity of the immense
orebodies that traverse the property
When the Henrietta property was
operated by former companies the
ore was treated at the pyritic smelt
er at Silverton, which is said not tf
have given satisfactory returns ant
is more than probable, should
Noodle be successful in his reorga
nization scheme. the new company
vill erect a flotation mill to handle
the ore.
Thus with each passing day the flu.
ture of this district grows brighter
and 1917 looms up as a record
breaking epoch for southwestern
Colorado as a whole.

MEXICANS AND SCORPIONS

From the Chicago Tribune.
The scorpion--or is it another
venemous and undesirable citizen p
is reputed to sting itself to death
when in paroxysm of rage, it can
not get at anything else.
Mexico is a national insect of ven
omous purpose such as this. Juare7
is one of the financial ports of entry
into Mexico. 1t is one of the few
places in Mexico that ever sees a
sound dollar. 1t gets its sound dol
lars from American turf men and
gamblers who go across the bridge
from FL Paso for the horse racing.
Mexicans have natural south
Latin instinct for subsisting by
gambling. They can manage horse
races. They do it con amore. They
do not take baths con amore. In con.
sequence they encourage certain dis
eases which arise from or are en-.
couraged by filth.
The bridge at FL Paso not onl.
takes American gamblers and Amer
lean dollars into Mexico. 1t brings
Mexicans into the United States, and
when they come from infected reg
ions they bring the infection into
this country. When the Texas med
ical authorities have reason to su-
spect that Mexican filth is plus Mex
ican disease, they insist on the Mex
ican visitors taking gasoline bath
Nobody but the Standard Oil com
pany would care to establish gaso-
line baths rs part of the daily reg
linen. and, moreover, upon the occas-
ion of one bathing in the Ell Paso
Jail some one was careless and the
bathers caught fire. Texans who do
not mind disordered border condi-
tions because they bring soldiers and
money have none of President Will
sons passion for any percentage OF
the Mexican people. Texans may
have said "tut" and have regarded
the accident as awkward, but we
doubt that they regarded it as a
lprodigious disaster.
In Juarez there was bitterness.
We cannot blame the people in Jua-
rez. They probably thought the FL
Paso officials drenched the Mexicans
with gasoline in order to set fire to
them. When new bathing in gas
oline was insisted upon the other
day Juarez went into a frenzy.
The people, principally women,
could not wreck anything in the
United States because they could not
get across the bridge. For that rea-
son they proceeded to wreck their
own property and prospects, soaring
the harmless American gamblers
and useful American dollars within
an inch of their lives.
They closed the race track and
dared the only sound money they
ever see to come across the river. II
