A Wonderful Machine
l Silverton Standard i i
W. M. Laney and L. W. Van|
Dyke, representing the American |
Rotary Tunnel Machine and Deve- |,
lopment Co., of Denver, are stopping
at the Benson house for a few days,
where thev are exhibiting a wnrk*l
ing model of the F. Sigafoos Tun-|
nel Boring machine. This machine |
bores a tunnel eight feet in diame- :
ter at the rate of from fifty to two
hundred feet a day in granite |
working tests with a large machine
showed GO feet 4 inches 1n 24 hours. |
For three hours a speed of eight|
feet per hour was maintained. |
Those interested are invited to call |
and see it operate. The editor of!
the Standard has seen it and believes |
it will do all that is claimed for it. |
The company refuses to sell any
| machines, preferring to take con-|
tracts for tunnels and shafts. The|
company also builds eighteen foot |
machines for driving railroad tun-|
nels. This is the only machine ever |
invented that will hold its course;
and handle uneven formations of |
different degrees of hardness. 1
The machine is run by electricity |
and is automatic is all its operations; |
takes care of its own muck and re- l
i quires but one man to handle it. It is |
i claimed it will handle an eight-foot !
tunnel at a labor cost of from 20|
cents to £1.00 per foot. This means |
a revolution in mining methods and |
Ivrill add untold wealth to Colorado, |
Crested Butte vs Gunnison
} As to the ball game Sunday there |
|is not much to be said. Gunnison |
lwon, 20 to 15. The game was com.- |
plete with errors. Schmitz made a |
sensational catch of a high foul |
Peanut lerrick ran over Charlie
Ross layving him up for repaira.
Anderson started in to pitch, he was |
there with the strong arm aad had
to be taken ont of the box as every- |
ones life was in danger. Crmtod;
IButm wore their new uniforms for
the first time but they were a hoodoo
‘and lost them the game.

MOST IMPORTANT CONVENTION
IN HISTORY OF WEST
| Notable Gathering on Public Laads Question, will Con
| dema Policy of Landiordiem, Despite g
| eOl soy e i
| The great Public Lands Conven
tion at Denve” is on and while every
eoffort is being put forth by adminis
tration men and the big cattlemen
who want leasing to prevent criti
cism ol the new and dangerous
r)licy of Czarism and laudlord ism.
t is confidently believed that the
convention will go on record
in dignified yet forceful language
|as opposed to leasing, opposed
[to governmental merchandising
of our water, our grass or
lulher resources of the public
lands and opposed not to forestry,
but to the enormous, misuse of pub
{lic land under that name.
i Public men of all parties seem to
{be well nigh uwnanimous in con
| demnation of the policies of Pinchot
jand Roosevelt, and are speaking by
|laying down the law to them in vig- |
erous fashion However, Pincliot
|and Garfield and Newell and lu]-
ilingrr and cabinet oflicers are pres
{ ent and throw down the gauntlet of
| defiauce to the west. They say there |
(will be no let up on the scheme |
| Senator Teller led the attack and
Las been follewed by Carter of
| Montana, Mondell, Wilson and
| Waish of Wyoming, Congressman
Il’mygning%, Judge O. C. Beaman
{and others of Colorado. The suj
| porters have had their innings and
lhave made some showing but the
ireal delegates are two to one against
{the administration. When it is
| remembered that these delegates are
lin the ratio of four republicans 10
|ore democrat the situation is
'ntill more surprising and gratifying
illnwever. the result is in doubt for
{included on the administration side
lis a horde of federal officeholder
| who are instructed to vote with the
| administration, right or wrong. It
{is openly charged that in every con
| vention to nominate delegates the
| administration and forestry bureau
| have had special representatives t
|influence selection. Today Mark
| Woodruff, the well known politician
|and supervisor of the Pike's Deal
| Forest reserve, who had been on th
|temporary credentials committee
lwa- caught handing out a pocket
{full of tickets indiscriminately 1
administration supporters.
| However, we have faith that with
| the earnest parpose manifested, the
magnificient speeches and impreg
nable arguments advanced by the
principal orators, the convention
-{will raise s mighty protest from
/| the west agaiust bureaucratic gov
" | ernments.
'| Gunnison county is represented
|inm fall by five delegates from the
Stock Growers, five from the Cham
‘|ber of Commerce, five from the
' | Crested Butte Commercial organiza
\ tion, H. F. luke Jr. an one of the
i five delegates at large from the
State Commercial organization
{and Lieut. Governor E. R. Harper,
|one [of the ten delegates at large
;lppnin'fll by Governor Buchtel.
: We hope next week to publish
|extracts from the notable speeches.

Denver Markets
. Denver Union Stock Yards, June
| 17—Receipts of cattle last week
| were Lieaviest of the year and there
|was a verv good percentage of na
|tives. U'nder strong demand the
| market on beel stuff was active and
|closed about a dime higher than
| preceeding week. Some choice west
ern Nebraska steers sold at %3545
‘with bulk of good killers at £4.90
to £5.35 and fair to medinm grades}
lat 150 10 =485 Choice baby
beel—steers and heifers mixed— sold ;
at B5.00 to 8520 Choice heifers
| brought £1.50 to 25.00, with fair to
'good grades at £340 to =4.50.
Cows were not very plentiful. 1In
quiry for good ones was strong but
poorer grades were a little slow and |
weak. The best soldat 84.50 to]
| 8475 with most good cows at 400
to £4.45 and the fairto good at £3 -
50 to 24080, Buyers here are want |
ing good cows badly but discrimi
nate against the grasey stufl as it is!
not vet hard enough to kill well. In- |
dications point to a scarcity of beef
cattle in territory tributary to Den
ver and prospects are bright for pre
sent high prices to continue. Balls
sold readily at firm prices, £325 ln;
24.00 taking the bulk. Veals went
largely at €500 to £6.25 for good
light weights. Feeder and stocker
supply rather more liberal than for
weoks, but quality nothing extra.
demand for good steers is strong
here with prices very much the same
as a week ago. DBuvers have order
eds for ail good feeders and stockers
they can get. Receipts today 5,-
(%) head, market active and strong
at last week's good close.

We Got The Cake
Last week in our “esteemed vmr‘:
temporary” appesred a clarion call |,
for help, a dispairing appeal lor]‘
some of the ‘mxl things of life in |
the shape of pies, cakes, etc, etc, es- |
pecially wedding cake. “Why,"” ex
claimed our e.c, “After we have !,
gonerously applauded the virtues of |
{the groom and the beauty of the |
| bride, and done it ‘free gratis for |
{mothing, are we not favored with |
some small tid bit from the marri- |
age feast?” News-Chumpion is|
pleased to record that advertising
pays. Hardly was our “e. ¢.” off

wfi’.“": nend and

fine, and again we remark that “Ad-’
