THERE'S A LONG, LONG TRAIL"
FROM MINER TO SHELTER

by l.. T.. Lewis, in Mineral Age.
AS long as is the winding trail
from most of our Colorado mining
camps to a smelter, geographically,
the distance between miner and smell
ter, sympathetically, is far greater.
One connected with the management
of the American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company here was about right
when he admitted that the smelter
hasn't friend left in the state.
What is the reason for this great
gulf between the producing and
smelling ends of the mining indus
try? We shall venture to assert that
it is not so much question of policy,
OF methods, or of equipment as it is
of men. A few months ago the writ
er called at the general Offices of the
smelling company in Denver to make
acquaintance with the new manager,
one who had been imported to the
Colorado field for several reasons the
oretically, and for other reasons spe-
officially. He had CLEANED experience
in various fields of the Southwest,
where problems are of different ma
ture. How did he meet us? Here are
the words of his first salutation:
what the hell are YOU looking
for here?"
When we assured him that we only
sought to become acquainted and to
know something of the future out
look before the A S. & R., he retort-
ed abruptly: 4
The A. S. & R. hasn't any outlook
or plan for Colorado except to get to
hell out of here and go to a country
where there is ore"
Does anyone wonder that we, along
with the rank and file of Colorado
mine operators, demand a more SYM
pathetic management at the head of
the smelter overhead" When a man
comes into our field entrusted with
the fortunes of not only the smelter
itself, but of the mines as we'll, and
in state which has yielded two bill
lions in metals and non-metals, might
he not win the sympathy of the min.
ing fraternity more quickly by boost
ing than by knocking?
For our own part we dare say il
were best for Colorado mining that
the A. S. & R. do either get up anG
get clear out of the state and take
along their old-fashioned methods anc
junk piles of equipment, and let in.
dependent companies take the field
or that it Immediately and radically
change its general management. We
have no issue against the superinten-
dents of local plants. We have been
treated quite courteously when visit
ing the plants at Pueblo Globeville,
Leadville and Durango When Mr..
Guggenheim himself was within gun
shot of the state his attitude was not
entirely that of one apart. Much is
to be expected of Mr.. Newhouse,
chairman of the A. s. & R. board,
who is now in the West to consider
future and constructive plans and
who, in the words of one miner, is
lone of u.s."
Although there's "long, long trail
a-windin'," and "long, long night of
watin' until my dreams" of smelter
returns come true, the trouble might
be largely ameliorated by the install
lation of a manager who is of Colo
RADIO and for Colorado and for her ba-
sic industry.

New Old Well Looking Fine

The Gunnison Empire.
AS we go to press we are advised
that the new well is now so feet
deep, the water line laid and working
fine and they are making from % to
35 feet day without hitch of any
kind. Knowing the formation as they
do, they can take advantages of the
ground that was impossible in the
first well. A. o. Brooke was out
Thursday and rendered valuable and
appreciated assistance getting the
water line laid and the pumps in
order.
Things seem to be in fine shape for
continuous work on the we'll and with

CANADIAN VESSELS
HIT BY DRY ruling
Ships Touching Lake Ports

OTTAWA, October 20.-There is
speculation here as to what extent
the Daugherty dry-ship ruling at
Washington will concern Canadian
vessels at United States lake ports.
According to ruling by the
United States government received

touching at United States ports on
the St. Lawrence and on Lake Ontario
come under the provisions of the
Daugherty order. Under this ruling,

allowed to carry "a per cent beer
into United States ports. and will be
restricted to ne-half Of 1-per-cent
variety permitted across the border.
The order goes into effect on October
21, after which date vessels must sur
render all alcoholic beverages on
board except those used for medical
purposes"
In Ottawa it is asserted that the
Daugherty order in the United States
precluding the entry to their ports of
any ships operating bars or carrying
stores of liquor has not been the sub
ject of any representations by the
Canadian government so far as re-
lates to lake shipping. Passenger
ships between Canadian and United
States lake ports do not carry or sell
liquor so far as is known here. To
do so would be an infraction of the
Canadian as well as the United States
law.
The restrictions will particularly
affect British shipping to the United
States, but it is calculated that any

The Prince or Wales, though by no

DUKE OF York gets only ten thousand

addition, he is Duke of Cornwall and has
the income from that rich duchy, the old

them at what the millionaire trade con-
