RED CROSS NOTES

/ There is no rehabilitation in
sight for the American Red Cross.
Americans are fairly familiar in
outline with it's war record. Ev-
cry American ought to be proud
of it. Money alone, no matter in
what prodigal quantity, could not
have produced the war services
of the Red Cross. Money alone
was the smaller factor. A great
quantity of individual human in
telligence and enthusiasm was
necessary. The armistice put no
period to some of the work which
the world had come to expect
from this organization and for
which it was the best available
agency. 1t had the organization
and experience to do many things
that still needed doing and that
nobody else could do so we'll.
Of course there will always be
an American Red Cross. Its NOR
ale ought always to be wartime
morale. Whoever is looking for
a moral equivalent for war-that
is, for an opportunity for unset
fish, wholehearted devotion to a
high cause-need not be discour-
aged because the slaughter is
overawith. He can enlist in the
Red Cross bloodless fight to allie
viate human suffering.
AS the American Red Cross am
ply provided at all times for our
boys, while in the service, as they
are still providing for the boys
who are in the hospitals, so they
will continue to provide for the
boys as long as a single one is
still in need of it's service.
We are in the midst of the 3rd
Red Cross Roll Call. Join! Join !!

Roumania

Soon after the entrance of the
United States In the war the successes
of the Central Powers In Roumania
had reduced that country to n most
tragic condition and In the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, n canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumanla had TO
deal. Here Is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry Its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

Thomas Cody made a trip to
Denver this week to see about the
coal situation. He was given a
half-hearted promise of some-in
the uncertain future. He says the
coal strike as it effects the Colo
RADIO fields is more serious than
the Denver papers represent it to
be. The men are not returning to
work in the numbers that the pap
ers claim, and in the Routt coun-
ty fields are leaving the camp en-
tirely. Some of the C. F. & l.
mines are operating with greatly
decreased forces, and in the
northern fields the tie-up is COM
plete. The public is now COM
mencing to feel the pinch of the
strike and if the government
doesn't bring about some kind of
a compromise between the miners
and the operators, the suffering
due to the cold weather thruout
the country will be intense.
Should the strike end this week it
will take months to catch up the
coal shortage.

Mine Taxation

A movement is on foot to obtain
for the mining industry a more
equitable system of taxation, and
the Importance of this step is
more than manifest to each and
every person directly interested
in the development of one of the
nations greatest assets.
Some Illuminating figures have
recently been released by the col
lector of internal revenue which
gives the taxes paid by all of the
corporations of the country for
the year 1917. The 1918 figures
not yet being available. The 1917
figures for all corporations are
given in groups and are as fol-
lows:
Mineral and metal industries,
$766, 100000, 35.1 per cent.
Business and finance, $444, ,00O,-
900, 2O.4 per cent.
Agricultural products, $345, 900,
900, 1871 per cent.
Chemical industries, $123,000,-
900, 81 per cent.
Transportation, $4,000, 900, As
per cent.
Public utilities, $4s,OOO,OOO, %
per cent.
All other corporations, $780,
100000, 1874 per cent.
Nothing can be more conclus-
i've of the position occupied by
mining and its allied industries
than the figures given nbove. The
Importance of arriving at just
solution of this all important SUBJ
ject should be given thoughtful
consideration by those in whose
hands the destiny of an industry
of such magnitude is found to lie.
During the past month a series
of conferences have been held in
Washington on the subject. Rep
resentatives from different mining
sections of the east and west have
been called to the capitol to give
their ideas and expert advice on
the subject of taxation.
The commissioner of internal
revenue, Mr.. Daniel C. Roper, at
whose instance these gentlemen
went to Washington, is at work
drafting new provision on the
taxation of mines, and no doubt
with the assistance from the men
vitally concerned and intimately
associated with big mining prob
lens of the west, method of min
ing taxation will be evolved which
will prove beneficial to all con-
cerned.-Salt Lake Mining Re-
view.

Where is the Still?

1t is rumored that the federal
revenue officers are in possession
of facts which tend to prove. that
a still of more than ordinary cap
acity is being operated either in
Gilpin or Clear Creek county.
1t is understood that the dis
covery was made by some strang-
er who, while travelling thru the
country, became lost in the noun
tains and accidentally stumbled
upon the still. The operators are
supposed to have been frightened
by his discovery as they seem to
have abandoned the place.
A close watch is being kept up
on the premises and should the
operators return they will be
placed under arrest and dealt
with according to law.
In the meantime some of our To-
cal people who got an inkling of
the affair have been trying to To-
cate the spot, but so far have been
sadly disappointed in their search
and at one time they came very
near being arrested on suspicion
that they might be the operators.

Listen, you fellows who crave
liquid refreshments. The neigh

The war department has placed

Wood, the 18th cavalry at Fort
Sam Houston for use, if ne .essary

the strike of soft coal miners. In
the absence of any developments

mine fields no orders looking to

The Miners Demands

We wonder if those who are TAX
ing snap judgment of the coal
miners strike know the facts
asks the editor of a paper publish
ed in the Pennsylvania coal fields.
Again we ask, the editor con-
tinues, if the side of the miners
has been intelligently presented,
We have not been able to get
away entirely from the art of
camoufiage, so successfully piled
during the war.
And the operators have excelled
in this particular art since the
controversy has started.
President Lewis and his -asso-
ciates knew when they were ask
ing a 60 per cent increase in wag-
es, coupled with the 5-day week
and 6-hour day, they were going
to throw a bomb into the ranks of
big business.
1t was absolutely necessary for
them to do so, as nothing will
wake up the average American to
the rottenness of some businesses
or of some politics but bomb, ex-
ploding at the right time.
The miners knew this and they
wanted to bring to book some of
the most merciless and unpatri-
otic n{en who ever entered trade
in America.
Miners have not been getting
steady work. Three and four
days a week has been the rule.
This has caused a scarcity of coal
and kept the price up.
Brewster of the operators, read
lily acceded to Secretary of Labor
Wilson's plan to give the miners
the 60 per cent increase, if they
would arbitrate the hours.
This would allow the operators
to increase the price of coal to
the consumer on the basis of pay
ing more money to the miner and
on the other hand allow them to
reduce the working of the mines
to one or two days per week.
For example, if the increased
wages gives the skilled miner $40
a day, the operator will give him
but two days work week, with
the result that the story goes out
that the miner is being paid fab
ulous wages, i. e., $40 day, still
the miner is only making $40 a
week.
To the right thinking man it al
so seems strange that the govern
ment says that the United Mine
Workers MUST arbitrate, but that
Mr.. Gary of the United States
Steel corporation, need NOT!
Also, that the war is over as far
as prohibition is concerned but
not as far as the miners are con-
cerned. Something rotten in the
logic, don't you think?
The miners will, no doubt, have
an opportunity of bringing their
arguments before the public by
some kind of congressional in
vestigation and one phase of the
damnable profiteering system will
be scorched.

High Price of Silver Will
Stimulate all Colorado Mining

There is hardly a mining dis
trict in Colorado that does no.
produce some silver, and Colorado
has gained worldwide frame thru
its production of the white metal,
comments the Mining Record.
When silver was demonetized
miners left the silver districts
and luckily, after that time, Grip
pie Creek was discovered. Even
the ores of Colorado's great gold
district contain some silver. The
mines of Summit county should
pick up materially under the new
high price for the white metal.
The Mary Murphy mine in Chat
fee county has produced around
100000 ounces of silver a year,
and the Iron Silver mine at Lead
vile, produces close to 100000
ounces per year. The Yak M. M.
& 7. company of Leadville, which
paid $780,000 in dividends in 1916
with silver around SO cents per
ounce, should be able to greatly
increase earnings under the new
condition. The London mine in
Park county is another old time
bonanza which should profit
greatly with silver at the present
high price.
The most sensational silver
producer of Colorado in the past
has been the Mollie Gibson mine
at Aspen, which in its heyday,
produced chunks of silver so large
that it was necessary to divide
them in order to get them out of
the mine. The Smuggler Leasing
company and the Hope Tunnel at
Aspen, are two going projects
which will no doubt greatly bene-
fit as result of the high price
for the white metal.
Over in the San Juan country
silver values in the ores are bound
to add increased earnings to these
wonderful properties. The ore at
the Camp Bird, Ltd, contains be-
tween four and five ounces of sill
yer in addition to the gold, lead
and copper values. The Liberty
Bell mine has been producing
around 10000 ounces of gold and
100000 ounces of silver yearly.
This property will naturally make
greatly increased earnings. The
smuggler Union ore contains gold,
silver, lead and iron. The Tom
Boy Gold Mines, Ltd, which has
paid about three hundred per cent
dividends since 1899, has ore that
runs around six dollars in gold
with few ounces of silver to the
ton. The greater values are iron,
zinc and copper. The Wellington
Mines company, near Brecken-
ridge will also benefit greatly on
account of the increased price of
silver. Wellington ore carries
about 3 per cent lead, 18 per cent
zinc, % per cent iron and Is per
cent silver.
In the mining camps of Alma,
Creede, Georgetown and in the
Boulder, Clear Creek and Gilpin
county section there is already an
important revival in development
work while in the great virgin
territory of northwest Colorado
there promises to be new districts
uncovered that will be as great as
any opened in the past. Colorado
bids fair to again take it's place
in the front rank as silver pro-
ducer.
