Mill Treating 25 Tons Day of $500 Mineral
from Volunteer Ground High Grade Veins
Being Leased

Twenty-Five tons day Of Volunteer
ore is being run thru the Carter mill
on Gold creek, the production being
limited by the condition Of water in
the stream. II il the intention to
double this production as soon as
spring suns release the ice-bound con-
dition Of the creek.
Several leasers are at work on high
grade streaks in the vein, this ore
running to $75 and even $l25 in gold.
The bulk Of the vein matter runs 50
rs put thru the mills. More than half
Of the value comes out in amalgam
shipped directly to the Denver mint,
but approximately carload a month
Of concentrates is shipped to smelters,
the average gold content being $50.
Twenty men are now employed, and
Manager Carroll n. Carter was in

used Immediately. He went to Dem

In the northwestern corner of Gun
nison county and the northeastern
corner Of Delta county is territory
commonly spoken of as the Muddy
country, the resources of which are lit
tie comprehended by the average citi-
zen of the lower valley. Few realize
that here lie the richest parts of these
two counties.
For . generation or more it was q
favorite hunting ground and sum-
mer range for stock and most people
still think of it as such, little realizing
the change that has taken place up
there during the last fifteen years.
Today there are many, many ranches
being developed and some showing is
being made of the wonderful resources
that are yet to be fully developed.
The natural resources of the coun-
try are second to none in this state
or in the United States.

Roosevelt Tunnel
To Start Soon

While no work is going on up
Quartz creek at the Roosevelt Mines
and Tunnel Co. this winter, the man.
agement expects to start in few
weeks and push ahead on the 2700
foot tunnel under the old workings Of
the Camp Bird on the Bowerman side.
II ia believed that 400 feet more will
cross-cut the first Of the veins opened
on the surface, and this goal should
be reached during the 1924 campaign.
A. P. Nelson, general manager Of
the company, was in our city Wednes-
day, having come down from Pitkin
on business. He recently returned
from Kansas City, at which point most
Of the owners and directors reside.
Mr.. Nelson stated that the upper end
of Quartz Creek is still snowbound,
and while the mail goes out on wheels,
It Is not auto wheels as yet.

Golden Islet and Volunteer on the
Pitldn side. It is now on continuous
paying basis as shipping mine, ap-
parently with years Of dependable ore
reserves ahead Of the miners and the
mill.
After the tunnel was completed a
number Of years were spent in run
ming upraises to connect with old sur
fnce workings. which have completely
drained the hill and left an immense
amount Of stoping ground ahead and
above. Besides the Volunteer and
Golden Islct, the Carter group con-
tains such early day surface producers
as the Farley, Irene, Ida May, Leona,
Flirting Lily and Ohio lodes, and one
can only guess as to the unexplored

BUS LINE ON

Talk of It's Running.
Double Daily Service
Thru Gunnison Pro-
vokes Discussion.

That the White Bus line, now oper.
ating three daily passenger and
freight busses between Montrose, Del
u, Paonia and Grand Junction. will
possibly put on . double daily service
this summer thru Gunnison from
Noutrose to Salida, il rumored. The
White Bus line, thru favor Of the
State Public Utilities Commission, en-
jeyB q practical monopoly Of the motor
b1siness in the West Slope valleys, all
ether comers having been denied 8
franchise or license. The commission
jastifies this on the ground that il
n = virtual monopoly anyway, and
that experience In eastern states has
demonstrated that when one motor
company occupies the field, another is
. nuisance, just as two phone COM
panies are q nuisance. However, this
view is disputed by those who claim
that we, the people, paid for the good
roads and anyone of US ought to have
. right to run = bus over them-which
again is very true.
Anyway, Gunnison is likely TO have
experience along this line. q ard dis

There is one thing about the bus
lines, they pretty nearly put the rail-

clares, would have authority to
make such q lease, even without
charging any rent for the same. This
leaves the way open for any one 10
enter the fertilizer field on terms
claimed by any Of the bidders SO far
they desire to secure.
Propaganda favoring Ford's bid,
the report states, has been spread
over the country from rom ,o.s two auar.s5s snsc,
lation and the other being directed
to the farmers, who, it asserts, have
been led to believe that definite as
surance has been given that the
price Of fertilizer Mro VIII hns,s be cut IN haif
"The Washington representative
of one Of the largest farm organiza-
tions in the United States has been
from the very beginning actively en-.
gagged in spreading this propaganda,
while drawing salary from the
farmers of America, he is carefully
feeding them deceptive literature
tending to mislead them into Mr..
Ford's camp"
Superpower for South.
TT is not known that Mr.. Ford
himself is part of this propaganda"
it continues. BY his ignoring the
request of committees to come before
them and discuss his bid he has made
it impossible for any one to question
him regarding any of the questions
involved. But it would seem that
man Of his prominence ought not to
stand idly by while in his name mis-
representations are being spread over
the country.
A favorite slogan of this propa-
Ford will save the farmers from the
''fetilizer trust" although the Ford
Motor Company, it asserts, is now
engaged in the fertilizer business and
the manufacturer either must be "a
part Of the combine and following In
their wake, or he must be in po-
sition already to break it down by
competition"
The report sets forth that the Nor
ris bill contemplates the distribution
of all power not needed for fertilizer
production and would give the gov
eminent an important key to giant
power system that could cover the
entire south, thus, it declares, pre-
venting power monopoly. Fertilizer.
it adds, would be produced either by
the Department of Agriculture or by
a private lessee under the supervis-
ion of the department.. and power pro-
duction and distribution would be ad-
ministered by a federal power cor
poration," which would use as oper-
ating capital, in addition to the sum
obtained from the Alabama Power
Company for the Gorgas plant. ac-
cumulating earnings sufficient to
bring the total up to $25,000,o 900. The
sum of s1,50o,000 would be appro-
priated for the fertilizer business,
and, along with numerous other
clauses, dealing with completion of
the properties, construction work and
experimental activities, provision is
made for the manufacture of explo-
sives for use of the Army and Navy.

MEXICO AND ITS IGNORANCE

leo and the United States. This
country, the greatest on earth; Mex
leo hardly a fifth-class power. What
did it? Romanism. What held Mex
leo back? Romanism. What would
hold any country back? Romanism'
Look at South Ireland-a blotch on
the political map. What made it ?
Romanism. Look at Quebec, up in
Canada, one hundred years behind
Ontario and the other provinces.
What caused this? Romanism.
Look at Spain, Portugal, Austria, Old
Italy. What made them weak and
"lost in the progress of the age?"
Romanism. Just read this from the
department of education of Mexico.
"The future of Mexico lies in the
establishment of 1000 primary
schools throughout the republic, &C.
cording to Endique Corona, of the de-
partment of public instruction. He
declared that, of the 100000 in
habitants of Mexico, 100000 are
illiterates and that 100000 of these
speak Spanish, but cling to ancient
Indian dialects and Romanism."

Mexico is older than the United
States, several hundred years, and is
five hundred years behind this coun-
try in civilization, Christianity and
education. There are 100000 or
100000 people in that country, and
counting out Americans and Eng
lishmen, 95 per cent of them (if not
infidels), are Catholics. There are
thousands of priests and nuns, and
sisters, and many parochial $50

ligion is the chief thing taught.
Rome did own one-third of the best
property in that country, and paid no
taxes. Think of heathenism, bar
barism, superstition, poverty, crime,
outlawry, and priestcraft, and all
that sort of thing, and your thoughts
naturally turn to Mexico. Mexico
was founded as a Catholic country,
and behold conditions. All Rome
ruled countries are the same.
The United States was settled,
founded and built by protestants, and
behold-what do you see? The COM
parison of Romanism and Protestant

after ALL, The BIBLE

After all is said concerning the
value of books, the final word re-
mains to be spoken when the Bible
is considered. That Book stands In
the world today in unique position.
There are foodtides of books OF
every kind sweeping in upon all the
shorelines of the intellectual life of
humanity. In the midst of this
boundless sea may be discovered the
influence of the Holy Scripture flow
ing as an ocean current out of the
depths and from almost everywhere,
and yet definitely located with life
and movement and goal.
If the influence of the Bible was
removed from all literature, we
would have something left like the
wreckage of the Tower of Babel.
We hail the announcement with
delight that the people are reading
the Bible more than ever before.
There is an increase in the number
of Bibles published in all those Ian
guages where great Bible societies
are organized. The presses that pro-
duce it never stop. The publishers
do not have to consider the posi-
bility of an overstocked market.
They keep producing while the peo-
pie continue buying. Every home
must be supplied with the Holy Scrip

lures. When a domestic circle is
built around this sacred Book there
is nothing that can destroy it.
Then again, the Bible has been
translated into a large number OF
languages. It carries it's influence
into whatever nation and among
whatever people it goes. Homer has
been translated into more than a
score of foreign languages and
Shakespeare into nearly 40. Both
these literary men fell far short Of
the number of translations of the
Bible, for the Gospel has been ac-
tually printed in more than 700 diff
ferent forms of human speech, and
the Bible societies, as they share the
work of translation, have helped to
spread the message in 558 languages
and dialects.
Speak CT it as we may, depreciate
it if we will, nevertheless, there
stands the fact that of all the flood
of books that has arisen in the in
tellectual world today, the Bible is
not involved. Indeed, in all the hard
fought battles of the books, wher-
ever supremacy and survival is
sought, the Word of God stands I'M
alterably with an influence that does
not lessen, but increases as the years
pass.-Exchange.

Conscience can never die. The
murderer may lift his knife and
plunge it deep in the bosom of youth
and of innocence. His deed of hor-
TOR may never be known to the world
nor to any friends about him. He
may have all his wants met, and all
his wishes gratified. He may spend
his days among the polite, the gay,
and the learned, or he may travel the
lands beyond the sea, and forget, In
the pleasures of his journeyings the
act of infamy committed in other
years. But to his wanderings and
his reveries there will come an end.
The pain of disease will make him
think of the days of health and pros
perity. The needle, jostled and con-
fused for moment, at last settles
down into a fixed position. The wide
world over, in Northern or in South
ern cline, in the deep gorge or on
the mountain-top, on the ocean wave,
or high above the ocean wave and
storm, still to the Star of the North
it directs it's course. So with con-
science. 1t may be confused or
smothered for a time, but it makes
at last and points to the pole star
of truth. It rises from under the
