REGARDING THE
NEW CERTIF1CATION LAW

Two weeks ago, correspondent in
one of the county papers stated that
certain applicant in the recent
Teachers Examinations had written
for second grade certificate and had
received a first grade. good for four
years. I feel that this should be cor
rected.
An Interpretation of the new GER
tification law was given in the news
papers last summer. 1t was rather

this time. Copies Of this law may be

facts concerning the new certificates.

TAYLOR PARK AND TIN CUP
7 DISTRICT LOOKING GOOD
E. w. winding, Well Known Tin Cup
3 Mining Man Writes as Follows
In The Denver Post

Aspen, Colo, Jan. 19.-Development
work Throughout the district has
been pushed with increasing energy
during the past few months. While
prices Of metal are low at present,
the universal opinion among mining
men is that the not distant future
will see (barring. Of course, the pos
sfbility of continuing unsettled con-
ditions in Europe) the greatest min
ing revival since the memorable days
of 1879.
The two chief factors back Of this
optimism are the tremendous pros
pective increase in the wave of change
from steam to electricity with it's
enormous demands for copper and
zinc, and secondly the success of the
Coolbaugh process of saving practi-
cally all the values in formerly re-
fractory ores.
Considerable Pittsburgh capital has
been in evidence both in Aspen and
Tin Cup and this fact reacts favor
ably on the prospecting industry all
along the line.
The tunnel on the Horseshoe prop
critics, about two miles east of Tin
Cup, is opening up comparatively
new section. Ore similar to that of
the Jimmy Mack shows up in a, cross
drift from the 1,500-foot bore; the
grades of the mineral shows steady
and consistent improvement as work
progresses. James Gordon and his
Chicago associates are confident that
in the Horseshoe they have discov-
cred what will eventually prove to be
the traditional mother vein," which
Tin Cup, like many other camps.
claims to possess.
Gold Cup Worked Under Lease
The Gold Cup has been worked by
I. C. johnson under lease and stoping
ground has been opened up looking
for ore shipments in the spring.
The great copper-silver vein eU-
tending from American mountain,
two miles across the park, mile
north OF Tin Cup. has been the scene
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1924-01-31

Of much activity. Agents Of an east
ern corporation were non-communica-
tive as to any definite results follow
ing this visit to the lode in the sum-
mer, but expressed themselves favor
ably both as to their opinion of the
properties and the general outlook
for the copper market in the near
future. The Colorado Fuel and Iron
company owns one property on this
lode. They acquired it in 1879 when
it was purchased and patented as an
"iron proposition" The magnetic
iron cup characteristic of all the
great copper mines in Arizona, is also
in evidence here.
Soft Carbonate is Taken Out
On Matchless mountain. H. T..
Smith of Denver, has taken out con-
siderable of the soft carbonate ore of
the same character as that discovered
on Friar hill some decades ago. He
is much encouraged by the building
of good auto road up Taylor river
canon which has been nearly complet-
ed by the forest service during the
past season and which will soon give
a good outlet for ore shipments to
Durango.
Scarcity of competent miners seems
to be the one adverse feature to be
faced in the Tin Cup district next
season. At the present time not a
single idle man can be seen on the
street.

To His Excellency
William E. Sweet,
Governor of Colorado.
Dear Sir: '-
have the honor to inform YOU
that the Advisory Division of the
State Department OF Charities and
Corrections, Division of Pardons and
Paroles, at its meeting held at the
Penitentiary in Canon City, on Mon
day. December II, 1928, considered
the matter of advising Your Excel
lency to grant parole to
ARTHUR TAGGART, No. 10s23,
sentenced from Boulder County Octo-
ber 81, 1919, to Life for Murder. and
recommended to your Excellency that
the sentence of the said Arthur Tag
CART, No. 10S23, be commuted to
term of five years and ten months to
Life for this purpose for the follow
ing reasons:
FIRST: Because this prisoner is
an old man, partially insane and in
a very weakened physical condition
such that he is not likely to live very
long, and, according to the statement
of the prison physician, Doctor
Holmes, is not dangerous to society.
SECOND: Because relative de-
sires to take him out of the State and
to his home to spend the end of his
life where the said prisoner, Arthur
Taggart, will be properly cared for.
THIRD: On account of the recon-
mendation of the Warden.
Respectfully,
ALICE ADAMS FULTON,
Secretary"
With reference to the above, de-
sire to say that questioned whether
the man should be permitted to go
at large in view of his mental con-
dition, and DIR. Holmes, the Prison
Physician, was called in to be ques-
toned on this point.
Mr.. Taggart's brother-in-law was
present to take him out of the State
and to care for him either in his own
home or in private sanitarium.
Mr.. Taggart is about sixty years old,
and has been confined in the insane
ward of the penitentiary. Judge
Bradfiold, Presiding Judge at the
time of Mr.. Taggarts trial, under
date of September 22d, 1923, writes:
"I am convinced the man is guilty
Of murder, but am also of the opin-
ion that at times he is not accounta-
BILE for his actions, although during
the trial he was perfectly rational"
