In conversation with Globe re

Black Pine mine was showing up fine
with the development that has been
going on all winter, and as soon az the
weather will permit, the water power
and mill will he put In shape and mil
ing operations he commenced.
The ore bins are full of ore and no
stopping will be done until the mill
starts.
Mr.. Rieben Is just out from Phil
adell hia where he has spent the great
er part of the winter looking after the
company's affairs, and having arrang-
ed a meeting with the c0mpany's engi-
neer, Mr.. McNutt, at Denver. Col. they
went to Cripple Creek to examine an
oil fiotation plant In operation with a
view of adding a simuIar unit to the
Black Pine milling plant should the
practical work of the machines prove
satisfactory. They also examined ma
chinery of the different manufacturers
at Denver but pending the results OF
ore tests now being made, no definite
purchases were made.
Mr.. McNutt came out from Elk City
on the 2Sth of April, and states thai
all the mining properties that were be
ing worked, were showing up good and
the indications are that several more
properties will be working and pToduc
/ ing this season.
The Mineral Zone mill has been shut
down temporarily while the shaft was
sunk to the 100 foot level and viii

Mr.. Rieben, has enlightened us on tina

LOOK OUT. MIR. MAN WITH A GUN

AOOh OOI. Mfk. MAN WITH A GIN
AS this is game country par ex-
cellence, and we have lots Of hunters
and sportsmen, the new game law pro-
visions will be of special interest here
and should be read with care.
The new game law passed by the
1917 legislature contains two new fea-
lures intended to bring about a more
rigid enforcement Of the provisions of
the measure, one Of which makes eyery
peace officer Of the state an officer of
the game department and provides a
penalty where peace offers fail to en-
force the provisions of the game law.
The other provides that no boy under
IL years shall be permitted to carry
a gun and all boys over IL years old
must be provided with game license,
The provision intended to use the
police officers of the state in the en-
forcement Of the game laws includes
any sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable
forest supervisor, ranger or guard, city
marshal or police officer, and further
provision is made that any officer who
refuses to enforce the game laws will
be guilty of misdemeanor.
The measure Is very plain in the
matter of boys having guns and states
it is unlawful for any person under
IL years old to have any kind of 8
gun In any field, forest, tent, camI
automobile or other vehicle and any
person over II years old must have 6
license before he will be permitted Il
even carry a gun or other weapon tha
might be used In the taking of game

many instances a sustaining infu-
ence, but the number of hands en-
ployed has been lessened by strikes in
some directions, and the labor situa-
ton Is also troublesome in other
ways. With its many obstacles,
strictly domestic business does not
now equal the previous maximum,
and the restrictions on overseas trade
make exports smaller in quantities.
And yet all statistics show that the
general volume of business in the
country is still very large. The rela.
lively small number of commercial
failures continues a highly reassur-
ing aspect of the situation.
