perhaps a dozen feet from the edge of

Who Closed the Mills?
boston News Bureau !

According to dispatches from Wash
ington, after several weeks. of investiga
ton, the government has found out that
the cancellation of wooden orders, has
amounted to 5000, 100000.
The government would probably be
satisfied to stop the inquiry here and
publish the prediction that normal oper-
atoms will be resumed soon"
What the public is interested in is
who caused the cancellation of orders
which closed the mills?
The answer il simple. AttorneyGen-
eral Palmer, in his pre-convention cam
paign and seeking to fix the responsibility
for high-p priced clothing, indicted the
American Wooden Co. for profteering al
though it could not produce suit OF
lothes out of which the American Wooden
Co. ever made as high as Sl00
The government charge of profiteering
caused the cancellation orders and auto
matically closed the wooden mills. The
| farmers now find that they have no bid
for wool and the clothing manufacturers
do not know what to bid for cloth
Why should not the government now
| fix tlfe price of cloth and the price OF
wool? Certainly if it knew what profit
eering was it should know what are just
prices.
| OF course no manufacturer wants tC
| invite Washington to fix his prices be
cause he might meet with the example OF
the American Wooden Co.
The company asked the government to
assist its experts in naming fair prices
for cloth. The response of the govern,
ment was Indictment for profteering
which automatically Cancelled the orders
in the trade and closed the mills.

operate to promote business and keeT

preservation by freezing is cheaper
than canning, especially when tin con

May Pass McFadden Gold Bill

Those who are inclined to be
discouraged regarding the outlook
for the early enactment of the Nc
Fadden> bill, should remember
that there was much opposition to
overcome while the Pittman sill
yer bill was before congress, and
that it was not generally believed
that the measure would become a
law.
The most determined opposition
to the McFadden bill at this time
is the present administration,
which will soon change and al
ready has lost much of it's power
and influence. Opposition by the
American Bankers association, or
more correctly speaking, by GER
tain element in that organization,
may collapse at any time. 1t is
not at all unlikely that sufficient
influence can be brought to bear
thru the united efforts of those in
terested in mining, to secure the
passage of the measure at the
present congress.-Mineral Age.

High Grade Silver Ore
In After Dinner PrOpert,

The Hughes Brothers, who, with
A. H. Swarthout, are working the
After Dinner property in the
Hughesville section, close to the
old Hard Money mine, have open
ed up some silver ore that assays
333 ozs. This was found in the
shaft at depth of SO feet. The
vein is large and is widening as
depth is gained. The ore is lead
carbonate, characteristic of the
Hard Money. They will continue
sinking another twenty feet, when
machinery will be installed and
the shaft will then be sunk to a
depth of 200 feet and levels run.
1t is one of the best prospects that
have ever been worked on in the
Hughesville section and Denver
people are endeavoring to get hold
of it.

Gold Crown Group
To Be Developed

From Rollinsville comes the re-
port that a deal has been closed
whereby A. F. Allen, of Trinidad,
Colo, and associates have ac-
quired by purchase an undivided
one-half interest in the Baxter,
Swear-Off and Gold Crown group
of claims, near the old town of
Gilpin. The property is owned by
Charles Moody, who retains the
remaining one-half interest. The
consideration has not been an
nounced.
A well-defined vein, already op-
ened up carries values in gold and
silver; samples taken from near
surface assaying from $40 to as
high as $24O a ton. The property
will now be developed by tunnel
and contract has been let to cut
the vein at much greater depth
and the work will start at once.
The Moody properties are only
about one-half mile northwest
from the famous Perigo mine
with production of more than
$3,OOO,OOO.
