REAL STRIKE OF
GREAT ROOSEVELT
One of the Greatest Strikes in
Alice Gold Mining District Is
Made; Company Adding to
Its Present Milling Capacity.


What is reported to be one of
the richest mineral discoveries on
record for the Alice district of this
county, was opened up at the
Arizonia Jim tunnel, one of the
properties owned and operated by
the Roosevelt Mining and Milling
company. The manager OF the
properties, Nathan Shapiro, told a
representative o t the Siftings-
News on Thursday that the strike
was high grade gold ore.
The portal of the Arizonia Jim
tunnel is only about 20 feet from
the mill, and Thursdays strike
means wonderful future for the
Roosevelt company. The cost of
milling the dirt will be reduced to
minimum
The Roosevelt company i S in

COLORhDOC CHAPTER
MINING CONGRESS-
All Mining Districts Urged to

meeting will be held in Denver on
January 3, 4 and >. Attention is
called Is the Importance of the
meetings and the committee on
program urges this district to be
we'll represented at the conven-
tion.
The joint meeting Of these Or
carnations this year, will be OF
more than unusual interest, since
the industry is confronted with
the most distressing conditions in
the history of mining. Relief from
present conditions can come only
thru the CO operative effort of mln-
ing men with leaders in other lines
of industry, which are also under
going readjustment from war
conditions.
While the outlook for the mine
operator at this time is most dis
couraging, the conditions are no
worse than those confronting the
farmer, merchant or manufacturer.
High production costs and dis
organized market for the output OF
the mine, farm and factory have
brought distress to all and the
change must come in the general
readiustment through which the
country is now passing

mining will not be restored to

there is without doubt a long sea

er prices for mine products are as
inevitable as day follows night.
1t is only by collective effort and

mining men can be safeguarded

Robson in The contest that comes
up before the house of representa-

"Wbat is the incentive for the
legislative contes, over the cleo
ton Of Charles L. Jaynes?" is a
question constantly being asked on
every hand in Idaho Springs.
It surely cannot be the salary Of
$500 per wear that would cause a
man OF Jake Robeson's S financial
standing to seek contest in a
legislature where his Democratic
votes would be six or eight, while a
Republican majority exceeds 65.
It's currently rumored that in
case of a Robeson victory, an efforl
would be made thru some legisla.
tive enactment to continue the
towa Of Georgetown as the county
seat of Clear Greek county for all
time. As the present law requires
a two thirds majority vote OF resi-
dent taxpayers to remove county
seat from one town to another, this
does not give Georgetown enough
votes to control in the matter of re-
tanning county seat.
The petition Of Mr.. Robson
puts forth the claim that in support
o. his cause the ballot boxes in
precincts l, III, IL, 13, IA, Is and

Art Saved From Fire Shown
Architectural League Exhibit
Opens, Despite Ruin bv Flame

Plaster heads that show dark places
where the marks of fire and smoke can
not be entirely scrubbed off, and bronze
figures cracked and broken, are all the
signs left Of the great fire in the build
ing of the Architectural League Of
New York at 215 West Fifty seventh
Street. Although manv art treasures
were ruined, enough have been recov-
cred to make a good showing in three
galleries for the annual exhibition
which opened yesterday.
In the first gallery is large plaster
group entitled "The Wrestlers," by
Berthold Nebel, which was broken in
the fire. A head of a gay young girl,
Miss Springtime," by Mabel Conking,
is gray with smoky smudges, and other
bits of sculpture are discolored
The paintings and architectural de-
signs were in another part of the build
ing and escaped the fire
The exhibition was originally sched-
uled for February l, but owing to the
difficulty in renovating and duplicating
the exhibits after the fire, the date Of
the opening was postponed until yes
terday. The public will be admitted
free until March a.

Flagg Stars as Dramatist
Cheered as Author of ssThriller'
at Stag of Artists

James Montgomery Flagg, famed as
craftsman of much cunning in illus
tration, hung a fresh wreath of laurel
upon his manly brow last night at the
Waldorf. Mr.. Flagg earned and en-
joyed the cheers of his fellow artists
at the 1920 stag of the Society Of Illus
traitors as the author of thrilling
drama which was the leading feature
of hilarious evening.
Not only was Mr.. Flagg on hand with
the customary bushes in response to
the loud cries for "author," but he also
took leading part in the perform
ance. Frank Goodwin, Arthur William
Brown and c. D. Williams carried
spears and said. "My lord, the carriage
waits" in the Flagg production.
There We're many close rivals to the
Flagg play. Tony Sarg put over a
particularly Sargian piece of work,
and F. G. Cooper and c. H. Wright con-
tributed other satisfactory chuckles.
