CORTLAND NINE TO
BE OPERATED AGAIN

Silver is evidently hitting the
heights for the dollar mark.
While the increased cost of mining
is probably keeping pace, there is no
doubt but that this means the reopen
ing of many of the old time silver
lead producers in Gunnison county
and consequent boom in mining.
An instance of this is seen in the
renewal of active work on the Cort-
land at Ohio City. This mine, situ-
ated in Mcintyre gulch has a vein of
exceedingly rich silver ore. 1t has
been followed for fifteen hundred feet,
and this summer leaser has taken
out a carload of the shipping grade.
Mr.. Adams and associates of Ogden,
Utah, have recently been on the
ground and are much pleased with the
showing. They have gone back to
Utah., but announce their intention of
at once putting on compressor and
other machinery, to mine on a much
larger scale.
The Cortland is in splendid min
eral locality and its re-opening will
mean much to the Quartz creek valley.

would be for member Of this con-
gress to sit in his court and send
notes to him when he sits on the
bench
After some more of this kind of
schoolboy reasoning, Representative
Decker cleared the air by saying:
"If there is any man here that OBJ
iects to the lobby sitting there now in
the person of a federal Judge of the
United States who, at the request OF
President Wilson and Samuel Comp
ers and William G. McAdoo, has spent
his time, his brains and his efforts in
drafting legislation for the benefit of
the men on the firing line to fight for
your cause and my cause, then say
long live that kind of lobby"
That is complete answer. The
fact is, of course, that the Judge at
tackled was lobbying for a bill that
meant no pecuniary, political or per
sonal advantage to himself nor to
those associated with him.
There is vast difference between
lobbying for that kind of thing and
lobbying for some of the pernlciOus
things concerning which our vigilant
statesmen have never opened their
mouths.
We recommend to our timid con
gressmen that before they become
white with fear, they study the bills
lobbied for. II they are honest bills
designed to help the people, there Is
no room for scare.
