The C. H. w. Mining company held
It's annual stockholders meeting in
Denver on May 18th. The report Of
Fred s. Caldwell, vice-president and
general manager, showed that during
his administration from April 1, 1915
to May 1, 1917, the gross receipts
from ore and concentrates marketed
We're $43.447.79. The net gain on op-

was spent on further general develop
ment of the companys properties,
was $11, 1,S54-21.
A new 1O0-h. p. General Electric
motor has been ordered to supplant
the 75-h. p. motor that has been
driving the compressor, and the new
installation will be made early In
june. During the summer the ore
house will be enlarged, and practical
.ly rebuilt, in order to provide for a
more economical and satisfactory
handling of the ore production. Also,
when the surface water condition be-
comes more satisfactory, the shaft
will be sunk another hundred or hum
dred and fifty feet.

IA ,4oo, 900 EGGS HELD By
ONE FIRM IN DENVER

/. Secretary of State James r. No
land, acting for the War Council has
spent the last two days checking up
the eggs held in cold storage in Dem
YER. He found 100 cars with 400
cases each, making 14,4O0,000 eggs in
all at one place. This investigation
does not include the storage plants
of Colorado Ice & Storage Co., the
Capital Ice Co., nor the Beatrice
Creamery Co., where many eggs are
stored.
With such disclosures at hand 1t
Is not only shame, but Wholesale
robbery for the people OF Denver and
the surrounding towns to be compell-
ed to pay As and so cents per dozen
for eggs. Mr.. holland will now start
to checking up potatoes, onions and
other focd products and report to
the government. Is 1t any wonder
that food products are high when
such nefaadous tricks are sprung on
Am innocent public? This kind OF
robbery will never cease until the
government rlaces the main ins;iga-
tors behind the bars for a term Of
years.

SILVER DOLLAR MINE

w. NJ. Kirk, owner OF the Silver
Dollar mine in lower Russell Gulch,
has let a lease to j. A. Anderson,
of Freeland, on block Of ground
from the 1S0-foot level, for a distance
of $50 feet west of shaft to surface.
This level carries a streak of copper
iron the entire distance, varying in
width from six inches to two feet
The stopping will be done by machine
drills with electric power furnished
by the Hampton mine. The work is
to start at once and several workmen
will be employed. Mr. Kirk has al
SO let a lease to Thomas and Manuel
to sink the Silver Dollar shaft an
additional 100 feet with ground both
east and west Of shaft. The sink
ing of this lift will also be done yNh
machine drills, with power furnished
from the above mentioned mine. Both
these leases are to start work at
once. This mine has the reputation
of carrying a high per cent of cop
per, and with copper and lead at
their present price, the mine ought
to be a great and paying producer.

WAS IT ACCIDENTAL
DEATH OR FOUL PLAY?

The body of Fred Palaro, "a, watch
man at the Lamartine mine, was
found near his cabin at $50 last
Monday evening after he had been
dead several days, and the nature OF
the wound inflicted on his head lead
to suspicious of murder, but at a cor
oner's inquest held Tuesday evening
1t was determined that no robbery
had been committed, and since no
motive for murder could be unearth-
ed and there was more probability
that Palaro had met accidental death,
verdict to that effect was render
ed.
Leo Ross Brcdeick, one Of the
mine managers, called for Palaro on
the phone last Saturday but failed
to get am answer. Sunday he drove
up to the locality and made a search.
but deep snow covered the country
and Palaro was not to be found. Mon
day the family was notified at their
home in Russell Guleh, and the young
son, Herman, together with young w.
]. Williams, drove to the scene and
were rewarded by finding the body.
terrible cash was in the back of
the head and the skull was fractured.
The hat was still on the head, and
hole in the hat was in the same posi-
ton as the hole in the head. A good
watch and $3.50 in change was still
in his pockets, and only few days
before he had sent his pay, $45, to
his family.
The body lay curled up about 100
yards from the cabin and nearly 400
yards from the mine, about ten feet
off from the path between the two
places. 1t is thought probable Palaro
was struck on the head by falling
jagged rock in some abandoned mine
in the vicinity and was making his
way as best he could to his cabin
when he fell in a faint and died.

SHELTER INVESTIGATION

After visiting Clear Creek, Gilpin
and Boulder counties, and hearing
the grievances of the miners against
the smelter trust, the legislative in
vestigating committee has decided
to abandon these state jaunts and

shippers in the state, which they
are asked to fill out and the commit.

ON June 9th, when it is expected
that the shippers receiving the blanks
will have filled them out and sent
them in. Geo. NJ. Taylor president
Of the State Metal Miners Assn,
Buckley Welles and r. H. Sayre have
been selected by the committee to
suggest the name of some depend

WOMEN ESSENTIAL
IN WAR TIMES

The Dominion of Canada, although
she has given five per cent Of her
population to fight on foreign soil,
is mere prosperous than at any time
in her history. All her people are
employed at high rate of wages,
and women are taking the place of
men that have gone to the war, in
work shops and adj kinds of clerical
work, at advanced wages. Her bank
deposits have been increased in the
lars. while her savings banks that
receive the deposits Of the poorer
classes have increased over 5000, ,0O0,-
600 since the war began.
The same conditions will exist in
the United States as the war pro-
crosses. Although 1t may be required
to send several million of troops to
the seat OF war, their places in many
respects will be filled by women at
q high rate of wages, thus keeping
the business status of the country
in normal condition, showing con-
cMsively that women are as essential
I'm times of war as men.
We are the great producing nation
that is to be called upon to furnish
munitions of war, food stuffs for the
many, and the money for the allied
side of the world war, and although
We may be called upon to furnish
several millions of soldiers before
autocracy is conquered. still our gov
eminent will pursue the even tenor
OF it's way, by substituting women
in the place of men who go to the
front at good salaries.
In case of war, women are as es-
sential to nations prosperity as
those of the sterner sex. Although
they will not be required to fight the
battles, yet they can, and will, fill
the places of these who go to the
front, and by so doing will keep up
the nations prosperity without n
cloud looming upon our national hor-
lion to mar the tremendous prosperi-
ty that this country is bound to ex-
perience for the next few years.

AMONG THE MINES
FOLLOW coLoRAoo's LEAD

Northwest Mining Truth (Spokane): ::
The state of Colorado, after being
robbed and bamboozled for fifteen
years by the smelling trust, has at
last risen in its might and will as
produces ore becomes poorer, while
the smelling octopus piles up unearn-
ed increment with pyramiding speed.
A legislative committee has been ap-
pointed to sift the matter and devise
some means of breaking a strangling
hold that has become well nigh intol-
erable
Three years ago mining men Of
the state organized the Colorado Met.
al Mining Association, led by the larg.
est producing interests, and dema
ed that the legislature appropriate
money and name men with legal
right to carry through such am in
vestigation to a definite conclusion.
So insistent did the demand become
that the last legislature has sanction
ed the organization OF such commit
tee, naming two members of the SEN
ate and three members of the house,
all residents of counties in large
measure sustained by mining. 1t is
expected that the investigation now
in progress will point the way to re-
adjustment of relations between the
producer and the smelter, much to
the benefit of the former.
With the possible exception of Col
Orado, there is no state in the union
that has suffered more from the cold
biooded depredations of this dtshon-
est combination than the state Of
Idaho. In little more than a decade
one operating concern alone has been
robbed of sums that nun well over
the 100000 900 mark. Others have
been compelled to stand the same
extortion through a conspiracy with
out counterpart in the history Of
western mining. Every effort has
been made to force some ameNoratton
OF conditions, hut SO far they have
uniformly failed. The Department Of
Justice, which might reasonably be
expected to offer quick freedom from
sRlch injustice, seems to be in league
with the courts to put off the day
of reckoning. But one avenue of hope
NOW remains open-the state legisla-
ture. It is time Idaho awoke to con-
ditions and followed the blaze of Col
orado on the trail Of Guggenheim dis
honesty and avartce.

The citizens of Golden and the
farmers of Jefferson county are max
ing mueh ado about nothing in COM
planning about the mills OF the min
ing counties letting the shines run
into Clear Creek and polluting the
water. There was a time some years
ago when this complaint may have
been justified, but speaking for Gil.
pin county 1t can be said that only
one mill is running at Black Hawk
at the present time and that just
one shift. AS the water has to trav-
el 20 miles or more before reaching
the farmers, 1t can clear itself in
this distance and there can be no
sediment to speak Of. The great
bulk Of the ore being mined in Gilpin
county is Of high enough grade to
be sent to the smelter and only q
small quantity is milled. What the
residents OF jefferson county want
to do is to convert Clear Creek into
a trout stream and attract a few
tourists. oblivious to the fact that
the mining industry Of Giipin and
Clear Creek counties means more to
the state in dollars and cents In orc
summer than the tourist trade would
amount to in a dozen years.

PROSPERITY IF
PROPERLY MANAGED

When we think Of the millions Of
dollars that the United States Is
hoering foreign nations for supplies,
and that each contract has a string
tied to 1t, that all the money SO
loaned shall be spent in this country
for material, we fail to see where
the hard times are to come I'm, pro-
v1ding the government hurries up
and passes a law preventing the deal
er in food stuffs charging more than
a normal per cent on their goods.
Unless the government takes the
control of food stuff prices into its
own hands, as many countries in
Europe are now doing. these millions
of dollars will go into the hands of
the dealers and the poor will suffer,
even in the midst of abundant pros
ing imposed by congress is being
shifted from the shoulders Of the rich
by congressional manipulation to the
shoulders Of the medium classes, who
are lilly prepared to bear the burden,
and with fictitious prices on all ar
ticles Of food, surely these uncalled
for prices will work hardship upon
majority of the people. 1t is all
right to plant and raise large crops
for consumption abroad, but let us
see that our crops are sold at a fair
price to the home consumer.
