Bugler Warne Writes

Bugler Fred Warne, who is
with the army of occupation in
Germany, stationed at Andernach.
writes his mother here a very af-
fectionate and interesting letter.
He says he is getting "as fat
as a hog" and contemplates
trip to England to visit his moth
er's relatives. By the time he
gets home he says he will be able
to speak a little of every language.
Bugler Warne is now in the
Third Division, one Of the best
fighting units in Europe and did
noble work in the battles of st.
Mihiel and the Meuse, Argonne.
on the Verdun front. He is anx-
ious to get home, but doesn't
know whether his division will
leave Europe in two months, six
months or a year.

Aerial Patrol Against
Forest Fires Planned

Captive balloons and military
airplanes will guard and patrol
portions of the national forests of
California, Arizona, New Mexico
and other western states this
summer to help in detecting and
suppressing forest fires. The ex-
act areas to be covered and the
extent to which this system of
aerial patrol will be employed are
to be determined by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and the Sec
reary of War.
One of the interesting methods
to be tested is to be the bombing
of fires to quench them. 1t is be-
lieved that grenades and bombs
charged with suitable chemicals
will produce good results. There
are to be experiments also with
the plan of transporting fire
fighters by dirigibles from which
ladders can be lowered to the
ground.
In the beginning the planes and
balloons will be used primarily
and almost wholly for detecting
fires. Lookouts in broken
country traversed by deep canons
or ridges which obstruct the view
or in fiat areas which afford no
advantageous points of observa-
tion, are often unable to note
fires quickly by the rising smoke
end then locate them definitely.
For precise location the present
system is to depend on triangu-
lation through reports telephoned
from separate points. Airplanes
would use wireless in reporting
fires, just as they have been en-
ployed to direct the fire of artil-
lery.

Globe Smelter Must
Be Kept in Operation

Steps have been taken by the
Metal Miners Assn, of the coun-
ty and state to prevail upon the
American Smelling & Refining
Co., to rescind their order to close
the Globe smelter. The smelling
company concluded to take this
course on account of the big de-
crease in the production of ores.
A more serious blow could not
fall upon the mining counties of
Gilpin, Clear Creek and Boulder.
for it would mean the shipping of
ore to the smelter at Pueblo, en-
failing a heavy additional freight
charge. However, thru the activ-
ity of not only the Metal Miners
Assn, but the commercial asso-
Citations of Denver, it now looks
as though the Globe plant will
continue to operate two furnaces
and reduce the force of workmen
accordingly.
The company has been urged to
do this at present, for as George
E. Collins has written Simon
Guggenheim of the A. S. & R. Co..
while ore production at present
is extremely low owing to the cess
alton of mine operation due to
stringent war conditions, the
tendency in mining is to get back
to normal and the high price of
silver has been the means of
many of the producers of the
white metal resuming work.
These properties are now in a
stage of development, but in a.
few months the ore bodies will
have been opened up and heavy
production will commence: In
Gilpin county alone a large num-
ber of these mines, particularly
those in the silver belt, will be
heavy producers by early fall.
and the mines in the gold dis
tricts will also be in shape for
production in three or four
months.

Metal Mining Situation

The U. S. Bureau of Mines has
just issued a general statement as
to the present status of various
mineral industries.
The conclusions to be drawn
from the report are that the
mining industry as a whole has
passed it's darkest hours in that
prices have undoubtedly touched
bed rock and world conditions are
fairly we'll determined so that the
mine operators know pretty we'll
what they must contend with.
Little hope is held out for any
immediate business from Europe
altho metal stocks in Germany
are exhausted. It is felt that
some time will elapse, however.
before American mines will be
able to count on any regular for
eign demand.
In the meantime as building ac-
tivity resumes in this country
with the coming of spring it will
help relieve the stagnation of the
metal market.
Increased labor efficiency is
necessary to help Offset present
cost Of operation which in most
cases is above the selling price
of metals and the larger mines
are operating simply to maintain
their organizations and be ready
for the wave of business which
must surely come.

Commends Work of
General Assembly
Central City, Colo,
April %, 1919.


Editor Gilpin Observer:
The Twenty-second General
Assembly is now a matter of his
tory and as is usual there is
variance Of opinion as to whether
it was of any value or not.
Intelligent criticism is of ines
timable value both to the public
and its official servant, but the
difficulty as l see it is that the
criticism is nearly always by
some ignorant egotist who knows
nothing about it and the intelli-
gent public whose duty it is to
censure it's officials when wrong
and encourage them when right.
view their efforts with cold indif-
ference unless perchance it might
serve some selfish community in
terest.
If l could pass an amendment
to the Direct Primary law it would
provide that any voter who failed
to take his part in the primary
nominations should not be per-
mitted to vote.
1t is my opinion that the late
legislature was a very, fine body
of high-class citizens, laying no
claim to brilliancy, they were
nevertheless upright and honest
men and women of what might
be designated as the middle-class.
consider the three greatest ac-
complishments were the killing of
the drastic Blue Sky law; the
passage of the Steele bill, and the
recodification of the Workmen's
Compensation act.
The legislature killed vicious
and radical measures by the doz-
ems and taking in conjunction it's
admitted fairness in every way to-
ward the Governor, l personally
consider the Twenty-second Cen
eral Assembly to have been a
credit to Colorado.
Yours sincerely,
w. o. JENKINS.

Clear the Names of
Men Reported Delinquent

AASAs AsNRoAtSu DSiAt4AClt
The Observer has received the
following communication from
the provost marshal, asking the
assistance of all in locating John
Stephan, order No. SO, and George
H. Merchant, order No. 173, reg
istrants of this county, who ac-
cording to the records of the pro-
vost marsha's office have been
entered as delinquents or desert
ers. 1t may be that these boys
were in the service, and if so, it
should be reported that their
names may be cleared of the stig-
ma that now rests against them:
Denver, Colo, April 15, 1919.
Publisher Gilpin Observer:
During the period of the war
"a, ,234 ,O21 men thruout the Un-
tied States were required to reg
lister for military or naval SER
vice. Of this number Colorado
registered 216,326, or about eight
and one-half per cent of the total.
In the nation 4,17S,172 men enter
ed service thru induction or en-
listment, and Colorado responded
with 39,06S men, or about nine
and one-half per cent of the
whole.
In the rush and hurry incident
to registration many errors have
crept into the records of men
drafted into the military and nav
al service. An effort is being
made to clear these records as far
as possible while the facts are OBJ
tainable.
Under the selective draft law
if a registrant neglected to res
pond to notices sent to him in
respect to his registration such
failure was noted on the records
and his name was entered as
delinquent or deserter.
1t is realized that large num-
ber of men thus stand charged
are not deserters in fact but by
reason of the imperfect record
this charge exists against them.
1t is the duty of the people of
the state to assist in every way
possible in clearing the names of
these men, and this information
must come from the relatives and
friends of the registrants. 1t is
doubtless true that a large num-
ber of men whose names appear
below have been or now are in
camps in our own country; they
may be overseas, and may have
given their lives perhaps, and yet
thru error or neglect the record
in the local board and in this Of
flee show them to be deserters or
delinquents. We earnestly call
all citizens to whose attention
this notice may come to scan
closely the following list of
names and at once advise the
provost marshal at Denver, of
any information they may have
which might assist in clearing
the names of Colorado's soldiers.
Have you any knowledge as to
whether any person named be-
low entered the military or naval
service, and if so, to what organi-
cation was he assigned for duty?
From what place did he go and
where was he stationed?
Did he enlist or was he draft
ed? Give date and place.
Did you receive any letters
from him while he was in the SER
vice, and if so, please send such
letters to this Office, together with
the envelopes in which they were
enclosed?
Give names and addresses of
persons who may know the regis
trant was in the military or naval
service.

Provost Marshal of Colorado.

STRANGER IN TOWN
 FOOLED TIE THIEF

An unknown Mexican took 45 cents from John Melee Saturday night in an alley near Fourth avenue and Kaconson street and overlooked fifty dollars in another pocket. It was merely another instance where mind triumphed over matter. Melee. after the Mexican had abstracted the small sum, told him that 45 cents composed his entire capital, and the Mexican, who had life- sized .45 in use, be- lieved him.
 Melee is a stranger in Phoenix He aligthed from train Saturday night totally unaware of his bearings He proceeded to orient himself by asking a nearby Mexican to show him to a hotel. The new found friend said sure, and led Melee, totally unsus- pecting, up an alley. The gun play then entered on the scene and Melee lost his 45 cents. A small grip of tools was also taken by the Mexican.
 The police have a we'll defined clue as to who the Mexican is and an arrest is expected shortly.
