Sim Fein Warns
Against Optimism
Government Unmoved by
Workless Day Demonstra-
tion, Leaders Say
(By The Associated pressl

DUBLIN, April 27-The success of
the 'workless" day last Tuesday has
led to q widespread impression among
all classes that the government, con-
vinced Of the attitude of the people,
would refrain from bringing conscrip-
tion into operation. This view is not
shared by the heads of the anti-con-
scription movement.
warning was issued to-day by the
Sim Fein Council that the government
is committed to the effective applica-
tion OF conscription, and confidence to
the contrary would be short-sighted.
The Constitutional Nationalist leaders
say that there is no sign whatever of
a change in the war cabinets plans,
and that preparations for carrying
them out are being made on most
formidable scale.
1t is pointed out that. contrary to the
prevailing idea. an order in council may
be made effective at once, without wait
ing for Parliament, although Parlia-
ment has reserved the power, within
fourteen days, to annul it.
The anti-conscription fund, of which
AfcnDlShop alSh is trustee, Is being
actively prona0ted. and is expected to
reach unprecedented dimensions. The
Church of Ireland Gazette" the organ
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church.
declares that the most lamentable as
pect of the present crisis is the ten
dency to make CONSUMPTION a religious
issue between Protestants and Cath
olics.
Nc expectations are entertained anv
where here that the Home Rule bill.
Whatever its character, will modify op-
position tc conscription. The Unionist
Journals have suggested that conscrip-
tlon might be withdrawn if the bishops
and the Irish party would make a firm
offer to secure the needed men volun
tarlly. But there is no prospect that
such an offer will be made.
The absence of the Irisn Farty from
Parliament has provoked no objection
from the people, though normally they
would be expected to attend in full
force the debates on the budget, which
imposes new taxes on beer and spirits.

or the farmers. No suggestion has been
made that they should return for the
home rule bill, but John Dillon, leader
Of the Nationalists, indicates that if
eonscrlption is applied they will go gack
at once to ventilate its meth DDS.
fassive resistance continues, to be the
policy advocated, taking the form of
refusal to facilitate inquiries or ac-
knowledge tribunals, with hints at pos
sible effective action regarding the food
supply.

A SAD END

One OF our gentlemanly ore buyers
who sports housekeeping mare,
drove to Black Hawk one morning
last week and as is his usual custom,
put Dolly in her accustomed stall.
While her master was in his office
making figures that would protect
the much-abused smelter trust from
the ravenous horde of mining multi
millionaires, mountain canary, (com
monty called a burro) stole into the
stall and proceeded to separate that
lily swatting portion delegated the
horse by the Almighty, from the rest
OF her caudal appendage with its
molars until now the mare looks like
a thoroughbred at the Denver stock
show after the veterinary has per.
formed criminal docking operation,
or one Of Kaiser Bills prisoners af.
ter a six months sojourn in the land
OF the Huns. The above is given to
show the intricate connection that
has ever existed between this Amer
ican quadruped and the biped of
northern Europe.

WESTERN MINING
GREAT INDUSTRY

Mining is one of the VESTS most
important industries and the follow
Ing figures Of production in a few
western states for 1917 offer the best
arguments for state and national pol
icies encouraging to increased pro-
duction.
Utah's total mineral production for
1877 was about $115 ,0OO, 900 with cop.
per, silver and lead the principal out
put.
Wyoming produced $50, 1894, $40 with
oil and coal in lead.
Nevada. $53. 900 900 with copper an
gold leading.
Idaho, $4,000. 900 with lead, silver
and zinc the principal metals.
California, $41, ,457 ,6S2, principally
gold and copper with over 500 ,OOO,-
600 In oil production.
These figures are simply illustra-
tive and do not include Arizona,
which produced nearly three times
as much copper as Utah, nor Mon
tana, which is one of the greatest
copper states in the union, nor New
Mexico and Colorado which are great
metal producers.
1t would probably be safe to say
that the eleven states west of North
Dakota and Texas produced nearly
81 ,OOO, 100000 in new mineral wealth
in 1917.
When you consider that increased
production for these mines is a vital
necessity to the government in carry
Ing on war It is apparent that
measures tending to encourage the
development Of the mining and smelt.
Ing industry .areoimportant.

PROTEST AGAINST
DEMURRAoE CHARGE

The teamsters and mine operators
are wrathy over the new ruling of
the C. & 8. railway which provides
for demurrege charges on cars held
at the point Of loading more than 48
hours. This charge is $500 for the
first two days beyond the 46 hours.
$500 for the following two days and
flat charge Of $1,000 for the period
OF time the car stands beyond the
days stipulated. Heretofore no demur-
rage has been charged where the
mine shipping ore was long way
from the railroad yards, until after
five days.
This new ruling will work a hard
ship on both the shipper and the
teamster as 1t is impossible on such
long hauls as the Hampton and the
Evergreen to load a car Of ore in 48
hours. The C. & S. officials cla:m
they were forced to adopt the new
demurrage charges in compliance
with orders from the government
There Is a question, however, II the
recent order of the govrnmnt i'm ref
erence to demurrage holds on a div
ision like this. The increased charge
for holding cars was made by the
government to release rolling stock
on the standard gauge lines. The
engines and cars on the Clear Creek
branch Of the C. & S. railway are of
a type that can only be used on mar
row gauge lines and the general
movement Of freight is not interfer-
ed with by holding narrow gauge
