Gold Mining Company Sued
BY Wales For Large Sum

Last nights Denver Post said
suit for $72,340.76 against the
Druid Gold Mining company and
Colin A. Chisholm and Henry N.
Berry, directors, was begun Tues
day by Anna Wolcott Vale and
Representative William N. Vaile,
executors of the estate of Joel F.
Vaile, and George E. Collins.
The complaint alleges that the
Druid Gold Mining company owed
Joel F. Vaile at the time of his
death $36,65O, advanced to the
company during his lifetime. On
this sum there is due, the COM
plant states, $13,759.6O interest.
The plaintiffs also set up the
claim that the company was in
debted to Collins for services as
manager of the company and for
money advanced to the company
after the expiration of it's charter,
in the sum of $16,809.4S and in
terest amounting to S5,722.O8.
Collins, the complaint states, as
signed half interest in the in.
debtedness the company owed him
to the Vaile estate.

Victory

We're feeling we'll and hearty,
and peace is in our souls; the + ar
nier-Labor party has triumphed at
the polls; and Farley, standard
bearer, will fill the White House
chair, and bring a reign of terror
to traitors everywhere. The Wall
Street barons hissed him, hissed
Farley, safe and sane, the pluto
Gratis dismissed him with snorts
of high disdain, and all the
hosts of treason said
they would knock him cold;
but oh, there were no feas on our
standard bearer bold. He came
from Salt Lake City, the home Of
Brigham Young, and he was wise
and witty, and had a fluent tongue.
The farmer left his barley, in
manner circumspect, to vote for
good old Farley, our Presidential
Get. And Peter, Mike and Char
ley, the toilers, piled their feet, to
vote for good old Farley, who
takes the Woodrow seat. Oh, some
were sure that Harding would har-
vest Wilson's socks, and some
made claims regarding my old
friend Jimmie Cox. And some
grew sore and snarley, defending
Warm or Jim, but l stood up for
Farley, and now rejoice with him.
Old parties are disjointed and
driven from the map, and / will
be appointed to some fat public
snap.-Walt Mason.

The sugar beet crop grown in
Colorado this year will be the
largest on record for the state and
the largest ever grown in any
state in the country. Reports
made by county assessors to the
State immigration Department
show that about 250,000 acres is
devoted to the crop, while the Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates places the
production of the state this year
at 2,740,00O tons. Farmers will
receive minimum of $12 a ton, so
that the value of the crop to them,
based upon the minimum price
and the estimated production, will
be S32, 100000. According to pres
ent price figures sugar beets will
be the third crop in the state in
point of value, being surpassed by
wheat and hay. The total value
of the corn crop, including silage
and forage, will be very close to
that of sugar beets.

but no office designation given.
Out of the % ballots only four

the commissioners race, which
was the only contest close enough
for absent votes to make any

and for Mckay 315. Every candi-
date who had majority on the
unofficial count gained a few votes
when the absent voters ballots
were counted.

MINING MEN GATHERING
FOR BIG DENVER MEET
Gilpin County Will Be Well Rep
resented at Meeting of Amer
lean Mining Congress.

Mining men of Gilpin county
are looking forward to the meet
ing of the American Mining Con-,
gress in Denver, Nov. 1919, with
great deal of interest and this
county will be represented by per-
haps dozen mine owners and op-
orators. The program of the Con-
gress covers much of vital concern
to the metal mining men. The
gold excise bill will be discussed
by Louis F. McFadden, author of
the bill in congress; taxation will
be gone into thoroly and a plan
worked out for a more equitable
system of taxation on mining
property; complaints will be heard
from those having a grievance
against the War Minerals Relief
commission, which has refused to
consider the majority of the
claims presented to it, largely on
the allegation that there had been
mo request to produce"
In March 1918, the War Miner
ais Relief act was passed by con-
gress after bitter fight. The bill
was compromise. 1t carried an
appropriation of $S,500,0O0 and
was intended to reimburse the
people who, responding to the
specific personal request of the
government, for the supply of war
minerals, had incurred expense
and sustained loss in mining and
furnishing such minerals between
April 6, 1917 and the date of the
armistice, Nov. II, 1918. About
1900 claims were filed and of that
number LOGS claims have been
adjudicated, of which only 800
have been allowed, in whole or in
part, representing over $2,O0O,OOO
paid.
Another subject to come up for
consideration of the Mining Con-
gress will be the tungsten situa-
tion.
Tungsten is found in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada, New
Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.
The United States annual con-
sumption of 60 per cent tungstic
trioxide concentrates is about
$500 short tons. Such concen-
trates represent an average of 20
tons of crude ore reduced to one
ton of concentrates, Tungsten
ore from China is laid down at
tide water in this country at $3.50
per unit at profit to the produc-
ers. The average cost in the Un-
tied States of producing a ton of
such concentrates is $3.50, show
ing a differential of $500 per unit,
in favor of the Chinese compel
itor.
A concern making ferro-tung-
stem in Boulder county, is today
not operating it's own tungsten
mines but is bringing in tungsten
from China at a price laid down
at it's plant of $500 per unit less
than it can produce from it's own
Boulder county mines.
A bill has passed the house of
representatives and is now on the
calendar of the United States SEN
ate for consideration at the next
session in December, creating a
tariff duty of 5000 per unit in fav-
or of American tungsten mines,
which tariff allows for deprecia-
tion of properties by exhaustion.
