TERRIBLE" MINE
TO Be RE0PENED

The prospective opening of the Ter
rible mine during the coming sum
mer, which was published in The
Daily Record a couple of weeks ago,
has created much interest among
mining men in Custer county, where
the possibilities of such an enterprise
are better understood than anywhere
else.
In referring to the proposition the
Wet Mountain Tribune of March 30th
says:
Talk has prevailed for the past
few weeks that the famous old GER
ussite lead producer. the Terrible mine
at Ilse, was soon TO be started up.
but nothing definite could be learned
until the past few days, during which
time some of the men connected with
the new undertaking have visited the
property and announced their pur-
pose.
THE property, it seems. has been
taken over by the Colorado Pure Lead
corporation. of which Mr.. II. b. Hitch
cock is the general manager and Mr..
r. J. Grant is the engineer. while Mr..
NJ. F. Wilson of Joplin. Mo, is the
mine and mill superintendent.
1T is said that many thousands
of dollars will be spent on the prop
erty in putting it in shape for oper
alton and that it will work for an
indefinite period in an effort 10 again
put it on a paying basis. which the
new company is sanguine can be done
with advanced utilities and economical
operation.
Electric power is TO be used in
driving the machinery, line for the
current to be run from Radiant. in
Fremont county, TO which point the
Arkansas Valley Railway. Light and
Power company is now furnishing
power. Auto trucks will be used in
transporting ahe product from the
mine to the railroad here and the
greater portion of the supplies for
the camp will be obtained here, this
being the nearest supply and natural
shipping point, as well as being the
only point to which fairly good roads
for operating auto trucks can be OBJ
tanned
Back in the late eighties, when the
Omaha and Grant people operated
this mine. they made production
of 1900 tons of concentrates and did
not work below the 180-foot level. The
shaft was later sunk to 23O feet. The
main working shaft is a big pit work
ed down to about eighty feet. A few
men are already on the ground doing
preparatory work in readiness for the
big force that will be employed later
'The operating of the Terrible
mine on the proposed scale will prove
a boon to the whole county and we
wish the promoters of the new com
pany the success their enterprise 20
well merits.
'"rhe Terrible has been one of our
biggest producers and to see II rank
as such again will prove the delight

THE FLAG AND OTHER THINGS

Another thing We have noted with
a degree of pride in our country. Big
Business has come right to the front
in the crisis. Heads OF great manu-
featuring concerns. railroad corpora
tions, engineering firms. all have AS
sured the government that their cori
porations and their individual sery-
ices are at the disposal of the gov
ernment IL war comes. There is little
noise or loud talk. but everywhere a
calm and infiexible purpose Is evil
dent. And this spirit Is not confined
to Big Business alone. Little Bus
infss marches right up 10 the front,
labor leaders are pledging the loyalty
and assistance OF their organizations
farmers are Offering both men and
food stuffs and women are banding
together by the hundreds OF thousands
in the common cause. Political con
siderations are kicked aside. religious
zeal even urges the people on to great.
er fervor and patriotism. American
people are being solidifed as they have
never been before since the days of
WASHINGTON. And they are ready TO
meet whatever is before them.
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1917-04-05

But there is one suggestion we want
to make in a spirit OF fairness and
Justice. We have among us many ex.
celent citizens OF foreign birth. We
have seen no evidences of disloyalty
TO our country among them. and we
believe them sincere In their purpose
to defend the country of their adop-
tion. They are Americans now and
should be treated as such. We should
exhibit no enmity toward them be-
cause of their foreign blood. for their
very presence here indicates that they
prefer this country TO the one they
left.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The fol
lowing is the official statement issued
by President Wilson from the white
house last night:
The termination Of the last session
Of the sixty-fourth congress by consti
tutional Limitation discloses q situa
ton unparalleled in the history of the
country; perhaps unparalleled in the
history OF any modern government.
In the immediate presence of cri
sis fraught with more subtle and far
reaching possibilities of national dan
ger than any other government has
known within the whole history of its
international relations the congress
has been unable either to safeguard
the country or to vindicate the ele
mentary rights Of its citizens.
More than 800 of the 531 mem beers
of the two houses were ready and anx-
ious to act; the house Of representa-
tives had acted by an overwhelming
majority, but the senate was unable to
act because a little group of eleven
senators had determined that it should
not.
Prohibited by Rules.
The senate has no rules by which
debate can be limited or brought to
an end: no rules by which dilatory
tactics OF any kind can be prevented.
A single member can stand in the way
of action if he have but the physical
endurance. The result in this case is
a complete paralysis alike of the leg
islative and of the executive branches
of the government.
This inability of the senate to act
has rendered some Of the most neces.
sary legislation of the session impos-
sible at a time when the need for it
was most pressing and most evident.
The bill which would have permit
ted such combinations of capital and
Of organization in the export and i'm

Appeal For New Senate Rules
to Save Country From Disaster

, are not lacking now. The congress
| is more definitely united in thought
and purpose at this moment, ! venture
to say, than it has been since the mem
DRY of any man now in its membership.
There is not only the most united pat
riotic purpose, but the objects members
have in view are perfectly clear and
definite.
But the senate cannot act unless its
leaders can obtain unanimous consent.
It's majority is uowerless. helpless. In
the midst of crisis OF extraordinary
peril, when only definite and decided
action can make the nation safe or
shield it from war itself by the ag-
gression of others, action Is 1mpos-
sible. .....
Although, as a matter OF fact. the
nation and the representatives OF the
nation stand back of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit, the impression made abroad
will Of course be that it is not so and
that other governments may act as
they please without fear that this gov
eminent can do anything at all.
only Remedy.
We cannot explain. The explanation
is incredible. The senate OF the Unit
ed States is the only legislative body
in the world which cannot act when Its
majority is ready for action. A little
group of willful men, representing no
opinion but their own, have rendered
the great government Of the United
States helpless and contemplate.
The remedy! There is but one rem
edy. The only remedy is that the rules
of the senate shall be so altered that
lit can act. The country can be relied
upon to draw the moral. I believe that
the senate can be relied on to supply
the means Of action and save the coun-
try from disaster. .a
