EXPERTS AT work ON TIN FOR

Experts loaned from tho American
Can Company after three days OF study
OF pieces OF new tin found scattered

Of three gallons, and have como 10 the
conclusion that these cans were placed
about tho principal body OF tho ex-
pIodvc. They are not able 10 say what
the cans contained.
The fact that every person
within 90 feet OF tho centre
of tho explosion were burned has
givcu ground for tho belief that
the cans contained an innammabls
liquid, possibly with the idea OF fol-
lowing the explosion with a fire--
though such "a result could not have

know what tine action OF high ex-

Some OF the experts suggested the

The Silver Situation

| London silver brokers, with an axe
to grind, are commencing to sympathize
with Uncle Sam over the fact that ne
has contracted with the miners of the
| United States to purchase enough silver
from them at one dollar per ounce to
replace $271, ,0O0 900 in silver dollars that
were melted up and exported to India to
keep that country contented during the
world war. One firm of silver brokers
| is worrying about "the well-being of
the people of The United States of
America" and alleges that if congress
would repudiate the Pittman law Uncle
Sam could replace his stock of the white
metal at discount of % cent under
present prices. The firm appears to be
, greatly concerned over our supposed
loss of trade with China because of our
protected silver market. We would be
very foolish to pay any attention to this
line of reasoning by the London house
in question. We can rest assured that
the British shoe pinches because Uncle
Sam is interfering with London's world
wide control of the silver market AS
long as the Pittman law benefits Amer
lea and American miners, this country
should pay no attention to criticisms
from across the waters.
Silver miners of the United States
are entitled to protection from the cheap
peon labor of Mexico and other sections
of the world where miners are paid far
less for days work than they are in
this country. Patriotic miners of the
nation were unit behind Uncle Sam
during the world war, and there is small
chance of this nation repudiating its
agreement with our silver miners.
Under the terms of the Pittman law
there is a long period of prosperity
ahead for the silver miners of the
United States. British price fixers of
silver will probably be further perturbed
over the movement that has started in
the west to organize American individ-
ual. buying to take Oh 100000 ounces
of Mexican silver quoted at 80 cents an
ounce 1t is said that if this amount of
silver was purchased and held off the
market the club which has been SO con-
venient and useful to the British price
fixers would be nullified. Summit Coun-

Apportionment A of the
State School Funds

The state board of land commissioners
has apportioned SAB, 034.57 among the
various counties of the state in proper
tion to the school population.
The income now being derived from
state school lands and permanent school
funds makes considerable difference in
the amount of taxes levied for the main
tenance of the schools of the state.
The permanent school fnnd has now
increased to something over Sc, 500, 900,
all of which is invested in government,
state and city bonds and farm loans.
This permanent fund is increasing at
the rate of over $500, 900 per year at the
present time and is being augmented
each and every year by increased sale
of school lands.
There still remains in the hands of the
state board of land commissioners over
$500, 900 acres OF school lands. Much
of this land has coal and mineral depos-
its, and will be great inheritance for
the school children in the years to come
and will help even more than now in
making good schools In Colorado.
The Clear Creek county apportion-
ment is SI,651.52, and that of Gilpin
county is $503. 40.

Mr.. Cox was elected governor of Ohio
in 1912, 1916, and 1918, and was defeat
ed in 1914. In 1912 he profited by the
split in the Republican party, and, al
though he received minority of the
total vote, he won by plurality. In
1914, after he had made his record in
the governors chair, he was decisively
beaten by his Republican opponent In
1916 he went into Office again on the
Wilson slogan, "He kept US out of war, .
although he ran behind Wilson by over
s2, 900 votes. In 1918 he was elected by
the plurality of IL, 944. due to detection
in Hamilton county, which normslly re-
turns a Republican majority of at least
25, 900. This year all factions of the
Republican party in Ohio, as well as
elsewhere, are solidly behind Senator
Harding. and his majority will assume
the proportions of landslide.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1920-07-30

A story appears to be going the rounds
that Senator Harding once said that "a
dollar day is enough for any working
man." To the intelligent reader the
very absurdity of the statement stamps
it as vicious SANDER. But to those
who are apt to accept story at its face
value, no matter how opposed to rea-
now that the dollar-a-day story is de-
liberate, unqualified, and cruel lie. Its
circulation at this time is one of the de-
testable schemes indulged in by Senator
Harding's political enemies on the the
ory that it is far easier to give man a
bad name Than it is to correct the false
impression once it is made.
