the police headquarters and have
a search made of Coronola's
house. They found a good deal

der arrest and will be turned over
to Sheriff Bass next week, and
will be tried in this county on the

Chris. Stangier, who was work.
ing on the surface at the Two
Brothers, had the misfortune to
fracture both ankle bones in his
right foot last Saturday. 1t seems
that he stopped down to remove
some timber and his foot slipped
and he twisted it hard between
two laggings and fell, swapping
both bones. He did not think he
was hurt much and got up and at
tempted to stand on the injured
foot and found that the bones
were broken.
George Oxley brought him down
to DR.. Fraser, who dressed the
fracture. Chris. is about 65
years of age, and will be laid up
for some weeks. He seems to be
getting along well at present.

John Johnson, Pioneer Mill
= Man Claimed BY Death

John Johnson, well known Col
den man, pioneer mining man and
one of the best known milling ex-
perts in the west, died yesterday
Wednesday, morning at his home
on North Cheyenne street. He had
reached the age of S2 years, and
death was due to general break
down as result of old age. Mr..
Johnson had not been confined to
his bed until the day before the
death summons came.
Deceased was born in Denmark
in 1888 and passed his youth in
his native country, receiving his
education there. In 1862 he came
to America and located in Michi-
gan, remaining there until 1864,
when he crossed the plains and To-
Gated in Black Hawk, where ne
prospected for a number of years.
He moved to Golden thirty-siX
years ago, and had made his home
here continuously since that time.
Mr.. Johnson was foreman of
the Bobtail-C CONSOLIDATED mine for
many years, and then he and the
late Senator Samuel Newell and
Sterling Newell purchased the
famous Hidden Treasure mine and
mill. They took hundreds of
thousands of dollars from this
mine, but reinvested all of it in
other mining property in Gilpin
county, Leadville and Cripple
Creek. In one four-weeks run of
the Hidden Treasure mill they
took out $4,000. Mr.. Johnson
was also in charge of the Penn
mill at Black Hawk for many
years, and when Stratton was at
his height in Cripple Creek he
sent for Johnson to put up and
take charge of a mill there. He
was recognized all over the state
as a milling expert of great abil-
ity.
Mr.. Johnson's wife died four
years ago. Five daughters now
survive him. They are Mrs. Har-
ry Carpenter, of Salt Lake City,
Miss Lille Johnson, of New York
City, Mrs. Leroy Dana, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, Mrs. Charles Ellis, of
Devon, Conn.,, and Mrs. Charles
Ruckman. of Golden. He also
leaves a brother in Denmark.
Deceased was an honored men,
Der of the Black Hawk lodge of
Masons and of the Royal Arch
Masons.
Mr.. johnson was splendid
type of man, persevering and OF
sterling integrity, and his death
will be genuinely mourned by

THE SAN FRAN
CISCO CONVENTION
BallOting on Presidential Candi-
dates Will Not Begin Until At
ter Platform is Adopted-Many
Nominated, But Dark Horse is
Predicted.

At the hour of going to press,
the condition of affairs in the
Democratic national convention
can only be described as chaotic.
The McAdoo boom is still in the
lead but the indications are that
it has reached it's height and will
not be able to secure the neces-
sary two-thirds majority. The
Cox boom is somewhat weakened
and the Palmer boom is barely
holding it's own.
The opposition to McAdoo is
making overtures to Bryan and
other Democratic leaders who
have felt the effects of the steam
roller, in an effort to get the an
administration forces to unite
and agree upon some candidate.
If this combination should go
thru, it follows as matter of
course, that it could not agree up
on one of the leading candidates
but would be compelled to select
some dark horse.
There is some talk of selecting
Champ Clark and presenting his
name as compromise candidate.
but as the Democrats have large
number of dark horses to draw
from it is difficult to predict at
this stage of the game where the
choice will fall.
Up to date the steam roller has
worked to perfection. 1t seems to
be doing much better work than
the antiquated machine which the
Republicans used at Chicago, or
it may be that the operators who
have 1T in charge are more effic-
lent machinists. But it may be
little premature to judge of their
ability now, as the race is not
ended yet. There is long road
yet to travel before a platform is
adopted and candidate named.
And the road will be full of
snares and pitfalls, placed there
and dug by Bryan, Reed, Watson,
and "a host of other eld-time and
distinguished leaders who have
been slightly damaged by this new
tangled machine of the Democrats
but who are still very much alive
and can be depended upon to
fight to the last ditch. They will
not meekly lie down and accept
defeat as Borah and Johnson did
at Chicago, but if they must go
down they will go down fighting
for what they believe to be right
and with their banners flying.

surrenders."

Government Buying Silver
Under the Pittman Act

OrQlnary silver DulIlO1 is aC-
cepted at the government mints,
according to message sent out
by Senator Key Pittman. The
message was sent to correct the
impression reported given by a
statement that the mints would
accept only refined silver at the
rate of 81 an ounce.
The message states the mints
will accept bullion bars as they
come from the smelters and mills,
as has been the case heretofore.
''If the bullion contains one one
thousandth part of gold it is
termed gold deposit" the mes
sage states, and the silver in such
gold deposit, no matter how small
or how large in quantity it may
be, will be paid for at the rate of
81 an ounce for each ounce there
il contained of pure silver, or
what is termed pure silver-999
thousands pure. If the bullion
contains no gold, but contains 900
thousandth silver, then it will be
accepted as a silver deposit and
paid for in the same way. The
expression in act, 1000 fine,
measures prices paid for silver in
bullion and does not control pur-
ity or kind of bullion received.
"Mints will charge small separ-
alton fees; that is separation of
silver from other metals in bull
ion, but this charge is always
made by smelters at the present
time. l have had this matter up
with the director of the mint and
he has given orders in accordance
herewith to all mints receiving
silver under the Pittman act. Un-
der the misconstruction of the act
that /, have referred to, it was
charged that only refiners could
take the benefit of the act. This,
of course, under proper construc-
tion which l have given is not
true. In fact, under the Pittman
act, the necessity of sending sill
yer to smelters and refiners is en-
tirely eliminated. By reason of
publication of the governments
intentions under the Pittman act.
silver has already gone up about
81 an ounce.
Such misconstructions and
misunderstanding as l have re-
ferred to must be publicly correct
ed or they will be used for the
purpose of deceiving producers
of silver and of bearing it's price.
Such misconstl uctions will also
be used, unless publicly and COM
pletely contradicted, to assist in
propaganda for repeal of the Pitt
man act. AS long as such an act
remains on the statute books
and l can guarantee that it will
not be repealed so long as the
present rule of the senate exists
American silver will not sell be-
low 81 an ounce"
