GOVERNOR MEETS WITH
AIDES IN WAR PLANS

r. H. Sayre and w. j. Stull were
In attendance of the conference of
the members of the ways and means
committee and state editors with the
governor, held in the capitol building
in Denver, Monday. The governor
called the conference for the purpose
of nlistirg the aid of the county
units engaged in the war work and
the newspapers that are to have
charge Of the publicity feature In
his address to the conference he out
lined the campaign of systematic ef-
fort of the War Councils organized
in every state of the union looking
to the coordination of all forces
that business may proceed during the
great war unchecked, work to be
plentiful, food to be abundant, hap
piness to reign, and the sun to shine
with its usual warmth and comfort
over an undisturbed democracy as
in glorious times of peace. In the
great battle for human rights that
the country is waging, the governor
do his or her share and make his OF
her sacrifice that victory may be
achieved and America shine with re.
splendant lustre as the everlasting
exponent of liberty, justice and right
eousness.
Gerald Hughes, who represented
Governor Gunter at the conference
of governors comprising the heads
Of the War Councils Of the states,
held recently in Washington, review
ed the plans of the mighty organiza-
tion in one of the grandest address
es ever heard in the assembly cham
ber He said the government had
every detail in connection with the
conduct of the war with Germany
well planned and that the general
system of effective action was far
more complete than the public had
any idea.
Governor Gunter was particularly
concerned over what course should
be taken in reference to state taxa
tion during the war and at the ban.
quet rendered the editors in the ev-
ening, sought their advice. The ed
tiers were unanimous Of the opinion
that the best course was to call an
extra session of the legislature and
make bond issue of a million dol

taxation that would make 1t too d.

MINERAL NEEDED BY
THE v. 8. GOVERNMENT

The Colorado Geological Survey is
cooperating with the U. S. govern
ment in an attempt to find workable
deposits Of certain minerals for which
the war has caused an increased de-
mand. Among these minerals are
Cres of malybdeuum Gree from cop.
peri, ores Of vanadium, uranium
nickel, manganese and platinum
Transparent, unfractured floursrar in
fairly large pieces, and as nearly col
or,ess as possible is also needed.
Pale green and very pale purple col
ors may not prevent it's use If it is
9th erwise satisfactory.
Persons knowing Of deposits Of any
OF these ores should write to r. d.
George, state geologist, Boulder Colo.
sending an average sample of the
ore If possible, and describing the de
post. If the sample and the descrip'
ton appear to warrant further in
vestigation the state geclogist or
some one appointed by him will ex-
anime the deposit wi hout expense to
the owner. If it should prove prem
Using a report will be presented to
the proper United States officials.
PrCspectors and others not familiar
with these ores will find descriptions
of them in Bulletin of the Colorado
Geological survey. This is now out
Of print, but Bulletin ~, covering
much of the same ground, will be
sent to those who have not had Bulle-
tin 6. These applying fer it should
send 15 cents to cover postage. I'm
, til Bulletin IL Is ready the survey car
provide a pamI hlet wh.sh describes
the ores mentioned, and those of all
other important metals. This will
cost 10 cents.
The survey may be able to furnish
small fragments of the cCmmoner
ores to a few prcspectors. But un.
less they are really needed they
should not be ask ed fer as only a
very small amount Of the material
can be spared.

PREPARING TO REGISTER
UNDER CONSUMPTION BILL

inspired by patriotic motives, Sher-
iff VIM. Mitchell, County Clerk f. G..
Moody and County Physician DR.. C.
M. Froid, acting with the same offic-
ials of every county in the state.
have volunteered their services in
taking charge of the registration of
men under the consciption act. They
will establish registration places in
each of The nire precincts of the
county and left this morning for Rol-
linsville and Tolland to see about
places and arrange with patriotic cit
izens to act as registrars. The day
, for the registration has not been set
but will be desigra.ed by the presi-
dent when the conscription bill is
signed, which may be this week. The
time of registering will probably be
set week or two from the date of
the signing of the bill.
The furnishing CT places in which
to hold this registration and the
services of the registrars are to be
donated to the government. No one
connected with the nationwide sys-
tenn of procuring names is to receive
any remuneration. The work is to
be finished in one day. 1t is to be
gada occasion and everyone is ex-
pected to see that those who are call

THE TWENTY-FIRsT
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Two Of the most important meas.
ures considered by the legislature
were tills relating to abolishing cap
isal punishment ard to changing thu
initiative and referendum amendment
The first named bill passed the
mouse but failed in the senate and
personally was much disappointed
not to see it become a law.
1t would be difficult to find a pub
lie question. ON which wider range
OF opinion exists and indeed the Holy
Scriptures are frequently quoted as a
justification fer killing helpless VIC
TINS, nearly always insane but invar-
iably the product Of vicious environ
ment. There is certainly nothing In
the life of the great Nazarine indi-
eating that He believed in a policy
of revenge on such unfortunates.
But however, we may feel ON the
subject II is an indisputable fact that
no man or woman guilty of murder
In the history of Colorado was ever
executed who had money and friends
and while honest differences may
prevail pro and con on this very hu-
man problem, there can be no dis
pute on this point that If the law is
not administered to rish and poor
allie 1t should he wiped from our
statute books.
The initiative and referendum law
could stand a lot Of very necessary
improvement but the attempt made
in the legislature would have been
an emasculation.
The initiative and referendum is
the weapon of the people to be used
against ill.advised or unjust legisla-
tion ard in my opinion is here to
stay ard ! do not doubt its weak
points will be sought out and remed-
led in the near future.
The same criticism applies to the
direct primary law which seems cor
rect in principle but cumbersome and
expensive in the extreme, but time,
patience and perseverance is said
to accomplish all things.
Very respectfully,
w. o. JENKINS,
Representative from Gilpin County

good financial returns. The tunnel
is now in 400 feet, the last 300 feet

the mill running. All mac hinery in

by electricity. Twelve men are work
ing steady in the mine.
contract has been let to clean
cut and retimter the first seventy
feet of the Blue Diamond tunnel. A
shop and bunk house are to be erect

Parties interested in the Golden
Rod tunnel were out last week. After
looking over their property they de-
cided to install an electric driven
compressor, build several buildings,
and push work ON several Of the
veins cut by their 1,600-foot cross-cut
tunnel. Out of the Pet vein on this
property, some of the richest ere
found in the county, small streak
running $4,000 per ton, was taken
cut.
The famous Snowden, up near
source of Silver creek, has been talk
en- over by a veal by crowd and act
i've operations will be commenced at
once. The shaft is now down 200
feet and AN additional 200 will be

SHELTER TRUST
INVESTIGATION

A session of the smelter investigat-
ing committee was held in the dis
trict court room in this city Saturday
afternoon and was attended by a
goodly number OF mine operators and
mine workers. Senator Siewers Finch
er. of this district, presided and the
testimony of those who felt that they
had grievance against the smelter
trust was taken by stenognpher
before the committee of four COM
prised in addition to Senator Fine tn
er, of Senator Candlish and Repres-
entatives Mcdonald and Nagle. All
testimony was taken under oath.
Chairman Finoher explained the
reason for the committee visiting the
various mining counties of the state
and collecting data. He said the
committee was taking course SIM
liar to that in trying a case in court.
First the complainant was given
hearing and then the defense. After
the grievances of the miners are
heard, the investigation will switch
to the smelter company. When this
procedure is taken experts who nn-
derstand every detail Of the smelter
business will be employed to aid in
he investigation CT the trust and
assist the committee in preparing its
recommendations for changes. The re-
port of the committee findings must
be filed with the utilities committee
by the first of the year.
Members of the committee said
they had been hampered in their
work by attaches of the smelter trust
and their hirelings and that 1t was
doubtful for a time If any legislation
that would effect the smelter mon
opoly could be passed, so strong were
the influences of the A. S. & r. Op-
position was met wi h from sources
that those backing the smelter in
vestgation bill had no right to ex-
pect. Certain members Of the Metal
Miners association did what they
could to prevent the enactment of
any legislation not favorable to the
smelter people and the state COM
missioner Ct mines was a serious fac
Now that the Investigation Is under
way these certain influences are
active and are trying to handicap the
committee wherever possible and
would have the committee work re-
suit in a whitewash of the smslter.
Four operators i'm Gilpin county
testified before the committee at the
hearing Saturday. Their testimony
showed unfair dealings on the part
of the smelter with the shipper, which
in one instance in partio ular result
ed in a mine being closed down that
was employing a good-sized force Of
miners. Settlement sheets were pro
duced to show that the smelter was
not content with charging an nde-
quate price for smelling, but didn't
pay anywhere near the market prices
for the various metals contained in
the ores. Instances were cited where
the producer was filched out of sew
eral hundred dollars on shipments of
large tonnage and to greater proper
ton on small lots. Testimt ny was
also given in regard to the sampling
| system, which gave the miner far the
worst of it. The committee was well
satisfied with the result OF their Wis
1t to Gilpin county and said that the
publicity given the unfair practices
of the smelter monopoly which would
grow out the investigation, was bound
to bring a change fer the better.
