 Another element that entered in- to the situation was that some coun- ties did not want certain proposed remedial legislation, which would have taken the course of repeating acts.
 Then there were some who insist ed that new legislation for roads, levees and drainage were as impera- tive as acts to cure defects in leg islation already enacted.
 In fact, Representative Sexton, of Lonoke, secured the adoption of an amendment in the house to one of the numerous extension resolutions that were defeated, to permit the consideration of new legislation for levees and drainage-he had an act Of that kind he wanted passed.
 Then there were some members who had opposed holding a session at all, about fifteen that were op- posed to suffrage, and a few who imagined they asw the tail-feathers or some political fowl protruding from the legislative coop.

 The ratification of suffrage, for which the session was called, was ratified the first day.
 The next two days were spent in wranghng, oratory and perspiration.
 There were florid appeals for the honest yeomanry of the country" who insisted their interests demand ed the speedy adjournment of the session, that the members might re- turn to their homes
 It was said that the people of Ar kansas feared the Arkansas legisla- ture might take example from an othre southern state and saddle 8 $50, 100000 bonded debt upon them for the building of good roads,"
 Pledges were circulated and nu- merously signed that if the exten- sion were voted nothing would be taken up but remedial road legisla. tion but apparently there were some of the lawmakers who had little confidence in the "gentlemen's a. greement of their confreres.
 And so they balked-it is saic there was an agreement signed by thirty members of the house that they would vote solidly against any extension for any time or for any purpose.
 Three days is all that would have been necessary to pass all the cura tive laws needed.
 Every member had his bill alread, drawn. They could have been in troduced and read first and second time in each house on Tuesday. Or Wednesday each house could have passed its own bills and exchanged with the other house, which could have read them twice. On Thurs day each house could have reat third time and passed the bills ot the other house, and it would have been all over, and only one day more required htan was spent in doing nothing.

Lewis E. Sawyer, Speaker of the House in 1915, was in Little ROCK last week, and advised his frlends that he is seriously considering max m gthe race for Congress from the Sixth district. Should he do so and be elected, he says the first thing ne would do would be to natlonallze corporations engaged m interstate | business.
 He would introduce 9 bill provld- ing for the incorporation of such companies by the government, just as thy are now incorporated and under supervision of the states where they are domiciled.
 Mr. Sawyer insists that this is the only method by which the govern ment will ever be able to secure an adequate control of such corpora 1 ttions.
 .It would be easy to handle the packing companies, if we had such law now" said he.
 Under proper encouragement, the south might itself become one of the largest consumers of raw cotton. 1t ycan never become the principal mar ket, but can use enough so that it will be a factor in dictating the market of its principal product.
 In Little Rock, for instance, there were 2,O21 bales of raw cotton and hnters consumed in the mattress factories and other mills of the city. This was increased the follow ing year to 3,917 bales, while for the 1918-1919 season, the consump- 'tion increased to 6,498 bales or more than three times what 1t was two years ago.
 This may be largely due to the in- creased demands by two large mat tress factories located in the city.

 It Is vital to the future prosperity of the city that an auxiliary source of income be found.
 Mayor Brickhouse has put up the proposition very plainly to the peo- pie that unless the privilege tax or dinance is adopted or some other source of revenue provided, hich no one has as yet suggested, the city will soon be forced to resort to des- perate retrenchmment which will re- duce us to the small town class

Game & Fish Club
Wants $50 Members

A membership campaign will
be launched in the next few days
by the Gilpin County Game &
Fish club and an effort will be
made to procure at least $50
names. At the annual meeting
held recently it was thought best
to reduce the yearly dues from
$1.O0 to 25 cents, in order that
everyone to whom outdoor sport
appeals may join. Last year the
number affiliated with the club
was 80, making the receipts of
course $4,000. A portion of this
sum was spent in placing the fish
sent out by the state and gov
ernment hatcheries, and defray-
ing printing and incidental ex-
penses. A surplus remained af-
ter paying these expenses and
the clubs finances are in good
shape.
Thru the activity of the club.
100000 trout fry were placed in
the streams and lakes of the coun-
ty last year and so far this year
$4,000 have been planted. Two
hundred thousand more will be
received between now and next
fall. A nursery pond will be es-
tablished in Boulder park by the
club to increase the propagation
of trout and within the next year
or two Gilpin county will be able
to boast of the best stocked
streams and lakes in the state.
Be sure to enroll as member
of the club when solicited and
lend your financial as we'll as
moral support to this work. With
the dues only 25 cents a year the
membership should take in prac-
tically the entire male popula-
tion of the county and a good
representation of the ladies who
find pleasure in fishing.
The officers recently elected by
the club are, R. A. Bass, presi-
dent; C. D. Hughes, secretary; w.
0. jenkins, treasurer.

Consider Building Big
Smelling Plant at Denver

Definite steps for the con-
,struction of a $2,500,000 inde-
pendent smelter and ore treat
ment plant in Denver were taken
Wednesday evening of last week
at a melting of miners, ore pro-
ducers of Colorado, and business
men Of Denver, held in the Office

municipal industrial bureau, who
called the meeting.
George Burnhardt of Denver
brought to the attention of those
present that if coal could be min
ed and shipped to Denver and
sold for 81 and S. a ton, the low
grade ore, which will pay Sc to
SO a ton, could also be shipped
to Denver at profit.

appointed to take up the smelter
proposition and report at another

Freight Committee Will
Hear Miners Monday

W. o. Jenkins and John Nc
Neill were selected by the min
ing men at meeting held in the
bank Monday evening to repres-
ent Gilpin county at the confer
ence to be held with the Denver
District Freight Traffic commit
tee in Denver next Monday. Rep
resentatives will be present from
Gilpin, Clear Creek, Boulder, Sum-
nit and Park counties, and they
will endeavor to convince the
railway committee that the
freight charges between the
points of loading and the Pueblo
smelter should be readjusted. Mr..
Jenkins will relate to the railway
committee the mining situation
in Gilpin county as it was effect
ed by the war and Mr.. McNeill
will confine himself to discus
sion of freight charges. He will
show where the rates now in force
are unjust to the shipper of the
average grade smelling ore from
this county to the Pueblo smelter.
Take for instance the freight rate
as it applies to ore from $50 to
500 a ton, the charge from Cen
trail to Pueblo in car lots is $4.1O.
plus 13 cents war tax. This in
cludes transfer. From Black
Hawk the rate is about 25 cents
ton less. Now, to show the in
justice of this classification. The
average smelling ore from the
county is $50 or a little above.
which means that we have to pay
the same as though the average
grade was 500 a ton. The class
ification below this rate is on ore
running from $40 to $50 a ton
and the rate is $3.50 plus II cents
tax. The spread between $50
and 500 ore is too great and in
the readjustment of rates to a
fairer charge, the classification
should be made on ore running
from say 500 to $50 a ton and
the lowest freight charge possi-
BILE should be made on this grade
of ore to enable the mine opera
tor to continue his production.

Discovery of Gold in Gregory
Gulch Sixty Years Ago

May 6, 1859, sixty years ago
Tuesday, John H. Gregory discov-
cred gold near Black Hawk and
thereby started the big gold rush
to Colorado and created a new
empire.
This discovery has been fire.
quently mentioned as the first dis
covery of gold in the Rocky noun
tains, but it isn't so. The Span
iards in 1895 found gold in what
is now Colorado; Pike heard of
gold from trappers and traders
in 1906 and gold filters thru the
story of Colorado on up to the
time of George A. Jackson, who.
hearing of gold came out here in
1858, prospected, found gold at
the present town of Idaho
Springs, traces of gold elsewhere
and who came into Auraria, then
the town on the west side of Cher
ry creek, now West Denver, and
spread the tidings. He is credit
ed with the original discovery of
placer gold in the Rocky noun
tains.
Gregory, native Of Georgia.
who had gone out to Fort Lara
mie, Wyo., in 1858 as a driver for
the government, heard of these
gold discoveries or rumors and so
came down here. He met Jack
son and Jackson told him of one
place where he had found gold.
Gregory, with Wilkes Defrees
of South Bend, Ind, and William
Ziegler struck off into the noun
tains above Golden and finally in
a gulch "below the thorofare be-
tween Central City and Black
Hawk" found the gold and Greg
ory gulch became famous.
Historians usually credit Greg
ory with the real discovery of
gold in quantities and attribute
to him the cause of the gold ex-
citement that followed and has
continued with more or less in
tensity to today, and of having
laid the foundation of Colorado's
gold production of more than
