MEETING OF THE
MINING CONGRESS
The Most Important Gather
ing of Mining Men Ever Held
in the West COnvenes in Dem
yer Nov. Is; Five-Day Session.

Denver. Colo. Nov. S-Industry must
re-create normal conditions for itself.
Industrial peace and 100 per cent pro
duction can never be re-established un-
til reason dominates all dealings between
purchaser, employer and labor. The
right of labor to strike ceases when the
rights and safety of the public are in
terfered with. These three principles
are basic in the arrangement of the
program for the Twenty-third Annual
Convention of The American Mining
Congress. to open in this city Nov.I5 for
five day session.
This Program had been arranged by
a committee of fifteen mining operators
representing coal. petroleum. gold. gen.
eral metals, tax experts and presidents
of mining schools. 1t will be the most
important gathering of mining,men ever
held in the west. The very serious ce n
ditions confronting the mining industry,
both coal and metal, and the special ef-
forts made by officials insure a large
attHadance. Simultaneously with he
general there will be several subsidiary
conferences-National Gold Producers
conference, National Standardization
conference, Conference on Taxation,

CHARLES zISCH'S
WOUNDS FATAL
Gun Accidentally Goes Off and
Fatally Injuries Six Year Old
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Zisch at Bayard, Nebraska.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Jaynes of
this city received sad message
Friday evening that their grand
son, Charles Zisch, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Zisch, was shot and
was in serious condition at the
home in Bayard, Nebraska. Mr..
Jaynes caught midnight train
out of Denver and reached the
bedside of the boy before he passed
away, the death of the little fellow
occurring early Sunday morning.
Mrs. Jaynes left few hours later,
but the soul Of little Charles had
already taken its flight.
Particulars of the accident have
not been made public, but it is
the old story Of the gun which was
not thought to have been loaded.
The family formerly lived in
Idaho Springs, where the boy was
born six years ago. He was an
especially bright little fellow and
within the past year visited with
his grandparents, who were very
proud Of him. He was a namesake
of Mr.. Jaynes and was very dear
to him.
It is thought when Mr.. and Mrs.
Jaynes return home more particu-
lars regarding the sad accident
may be secured.
Sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty is extended to Mr.. and Mrs.
Jaynes and to MIR. and Mrs. Zisch,
parents of the child.

IDAHO SPRINGS, COLo. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER sETulc
This Is a Mining Story

Occasionally we hear it re-
marked that the Idaho Springs
papers have everything of in
terest in them excepting plen-
ty OF mining news. For this
to come from mining men
seems a little unjust, for these
same mining men are very
reserved about giving their
news to the papers, and when
we get any news offhand and
publish it they "howl." Now,
how can we print the mining
news when they refuse to give
it out or give us "heck" when
we print it without their sanc-
ton? 1t seems to be their
desire to read the news of the
other mines, but they object
to having the 'other fellow
know what they are doing.
When anyone comes in and
kindly requests us not to pub
lish certain articles we cour-
teously comply with their
wishes, and very often we lose
out on some good news. But
it looks as tho our efforts to
pl e a Sc are in vain when
these same parties "roast" the
papers for having no mining
news.
Mr.. Mining Man, are you
one of those who have asked
US not to. print your dope
just yet,' and then later COM
planned that we have no min
!. inc news? II yon are, yonase.
the man we are writing about.
Is it fair? Why not give US
all the mining news You haveY
1t will advertise the town,
your business in particular,
and help us to have more in
teresting news. Come across.

William E. Renshaw, state

four out Of five precincts in
that county, which is the

nent-and that, too. with Sum-
NIT county Democratic as a
usual thing by 400 or 500 ma

owe rcoming a majority of

HAGGOTT MADE
DISTRICT JUDGE
Former Superintendent of Our
Public Schools Named to Sue
ceed Judge Whitford; Has
Been in Politics Many Years.

Warren A. Haggott, at one time
superintendent of the schools in
this city, has been appointed by
Governor Shoup to fill the unex.
fiiired 4Hrrp as district Judge il
Denver which was made vacant
by the election of Greeley W.
Whitford to the Colorado supreme
bench, and will serve until his
successor is elected in 1922.
Mr.. Haggott has been active in
Colorado politics for many years.
He served as lieutenant governor
from 1908 until 1905, and was one
of Colorado's representatives. in
the sixtieth congress. In. recent
years he has devoted all his time
to the legal profession.
He taught school in Ohio, Texas

much progressive legislation. In
congress he represented the second

representatives, he made particular
effort for legislation for the benefit

GOOD WORK DONE
AT BUSTER MINES
Improvements Being Made and
Mine Has Shown Wonderful
Developments In Past Year;
New Equipment Installed

On visit to the Buster prop
erty, three miles west of Silver
Plume, which is being operated By
the Silver Plume Consolidated
Mining company. We 6Ad thai
during the past year a large amount
of actual development work has
been done. A FIVE drill belt driven
Ingersol- Rand air compressor and
drill sharpener has been installed
and splendid 6x8 tunnel driven
LOO feet into Hanna mountain,
cutting two of the group of veins
owned by the company. The work
has been in charge of the Buxton
Bros, who are miners and can
show accomplishments for every
dollar spent.
Mr.. Buxton has suspended work
on the tunnel heading for the
present and is drifting east on the
Silver Bell vein, which is we'll
formed vein and carries spots of
ore thru quartz streak eight to
ten inches wide, and it looks an
assured fact that good body of
ore will soon be opened.
The Silver Bell drift will cut the
Buster vein short distance to the
east, and if all signs do not fail a
new mine in practically new
district will be opened.
What this district needs is sys
tematic development, handled by
miners who have good business
ability and sound judgment. From
the fact the production of our
mines has been carted away from
our district, we need the dollars of
the capitalist to assist development,
but we, as miners, must use econ
omy and judgment in spending
these dollars to get results.
We are glad to say that on the
Buster property there has been
development for the money ex-
pended and the making of a good
mine is almost assured.

High School TO Give
Minstrel and Carnival

The annual minstrel and carnival
of the high school will be held at
the high school on Wednesday
evening, Nov. 10, and it is be-
ieved will be deserving Of good
patronage. The affair is in charge
of Superintendent Duncan E. Clark
and Prof. L. M. McCulley. and as
rule this fact would spell sue
cess"
There is nothing which gives as
much encouragement to our teach
srs and our young people as the
interest taken in them by the
people of the community, and all
should be liberal in their patron
age of any of the high school
events. Towns are nearly always
rated by their schools, and Idaho
Springs has schools of which she
should be proud. Make up your
mind to attend the carnival on
Wednesday evening.

WILL GIVE BIG
MILITARY BALL
Ralph Wilkins Post, American
Legion, Will Celebrate Armis-
tice Night With a Big Military
Ball; Good Music Engaged.

The following is the beginning
of series of American Legion
articles which will appear each
Tuesday in the Siftings-News, and
which will be of interest to the
community in general to know what
the Legion of Idaho Springs is
doing:
cat special meeting of Ralph
Wilkins post, No. 9S, the members
voted unanimously in favor of
giving big ball on the night of
Nov. II to celebrate the second
anniversary of the cessation Of
hostilities on the part of the nations
engaged in the world war. The
men felt that on this occasion it
would be fitting for all those who
were in the service to get together
and make this the occasion for
having a good time and thus keep
alive the feelings we experienced
when we first learned that our
armies, 10 conjunction with those
of our allies, had triumphed over
those of our common enemy.
"At this ball we want to again
feel the spirit of fellowship which
4 we felt when we served under tho
colors together; so we are asking
lall of the men who can to turn out
in uniform. All members of the
Legion who do not have uniforms
are asked to wear the Legion
button so we can identify you.
Ex-service men who are not menu
bers of the Legion, and who do
not have uniforms to wear, are
eq ested to make themselves
known to the committee who will
have charge of the information
booth on the floor of the dance
hall, so they can make you ac-
quainted with everyone in the hall
and show you good time. We
want every ex-service man to have
good time regardless of whether
or not he belongs to the Legion or
has on a uniform.
"Leach's orchestra will furnish
the music; the dance committee
will introduce you to anyone in the
hall whom you may desire to meet;
the opera house hall has a good
dance floor, so there is no reason
why you should not have a good
time if you come.
"The Ralph Wilkins post has a
good, live program lined up for
this winter one that will be worth
while for every ex-service man in
this section of the state. Come
out and enjoy all that is coming to
you. The Legion is planning to
do some big things. 1t needs your
active support and you need Its
support.
"This post is inaugurating big
membership drive. If you know
of any ex-service men who are not
Legion members. send US their
names and urge them to attend our
meetings. If they once learn what
we are going to do this winter
they will desire to join the post.

Carpet Beetles are

damage to carpets, furs and wooden
goods about the house. They are the
so-called "buffalo-bug" or incorrectly
called buffalo moth" and the black

only too common. The adults feed
out of doors on the pollen of flowers
of spirea, wild cherry, mill foil and
other plants. They are about the
same size as the lady-bird beetle.
The larvae or grubs are about one
quarter of an inch long and clothed
with long brown hairs. These extend
out like tail.

ViOlaterS of Feed
Law Prosecuted

Prosecutions have just been ordered
by the Bureau Of Chemistry, Pennsyl.
yania Department of Agriculture, in
six cases for the sale of misbranded
and falsely guaranteed feeding stuffs
that included four brands of dairy
mixed feeds and two of cottonseed
meal. The dairy feeds were labeled
with false statements of composition,
two of which were found to be def
cient in protein and fat. One brand
was discovered to be adulterated with
rs per cent excess flax plant refuse,
containing twice as much fibrous, low
grade by-product feed material as is
permitted by the feeding stuffs law.
The other dairy feeds also contaHed
an excessive apount of low-grad ,
fibrous materials in the form of oat
bulls, therefore being classed under
the law as adulterated.
The cottonseed products were sold
as cottonseed meals, containing 10 per
cent excessive amounts of cottonseed
bulls, a violation of the law. Low
grade cottonseed products containing
an excessive amount of hulls are in
reality mixtures of hulls and meal and
are required to be labeled, registered
and sold as cottonseed feeds. Feed
dealrrs are cautioned against handling
these low-grade materials.

able labor over the entire ground, and
nothing done to perfection.
A garden with rows upon rows of all
the delicious vegetables of midsum-
mer, and not weed to be found, is in
deed pleasant picture. But how few
of that class are found Instead Of
choice vegetables, there are rank
weeds and where order and beauty
should reign, desolation stares at one
in too many family gardens, caused
in the majority of cases by simply "bit
ing off more than he can chew"
What Cultivation Means
Success in horticulture depends
widely upon our correct understand
ing and proper application of cuiti.
walton. Cultivation means simpl,
separating it's particles, thus finihg
and pulverizing and putting it in the
best possible condition for the small
through it in search of food and mois
ture. One effect is the gathering and
retaining of moisture from the air.
The particles of earth being separated
admits the air, which coming in con-
tact with the cooler soil, leaves a por-
ton of it's moisture, especially dur.
ing the night. A pulverized soil is
cooler in hot weather; the particles of
earth being separated conduct the
suns heat but poorly, as compared
with a compact soil, which can be
proved by examining the different con-
ditions of soil on any hot day in sum
ner. 1t also assists the capillary at
traction of moisture from below and
this is not so easily carried away by
the drying winds during the day
Now one of the difficulties to be
overcome in long, dry summers Is
drouth, hence the need of cultivation
to prevent its deleterious effect. Guilt.
walton should be kept up as long as
the droughth and heat lasts, or the
weeds grow. If we quit cultivation
early a luxuriant growth of weeds
springs up which take up and evap-
crate the moisture, leaving the ground
hard and dry.
