WAN7ED-CAPIZAL.

Capital will always seek investment
where the largest profits can be OBJ
tanned, and we have the utmost conf
dence in this district getting its share
in the course of time, but like all
quartz mining camps it takes time for
development. 1t is true We have our
drawbacks as we'll other sections. The
only serious obstacle to our prosperity
is the long winter months that we have
to contend with, and we trust that
those who have lived here this winter
have been taught by experience that
mines can be worked to an advantage
in the winter, provided the owner lays
in supplies, build shaft houses, etc.
The temperature of the weather here
is exceedingly mild, but the volumi-
nous snow fall is caused by the high
altitude, ,and mineraloglsts have proven
to us conclusively that the higher the
altitude the richer the leads. You
can't expect to find rich mineral-bear-
ing veins in an orange grove, or-by
the sea-shore. Nature never intended
it that way. The snow is no worse,
nor even so bad as in some of the
mining districts OF Utah and Nevada.
Last year might be said to have been
the first year of our existence here,
properly speaking. and we think won
ders were worked in the way of mining
transfers; but we cannot expect to see
the whole camp revolutionized in one
years time. Although there has been
number of sales made this winter,
there are yet great many bargains to
be had in the way of mining
property to men who have means to
do little eveloping. 1t is we'll
known fae that as rule, the pros
pector whoendures hardships and pri-
vations in discovering veins very sell
dom keep them long enough to be re-
warded for his labor, and is too often
ready and willing to sell at least por-
ton of his property to- raise funds
whereby he may develop what he has
left, or to 60 prospecting with.
What we want here is men with
capltal-men who are not afraid to
buy giant powder, hosting machinery
and mining implements. Men
who are not afraid to invest a few
thousand dollars for fear it won't dou-
bic itself inside of thirty days. Men,
who, when they sink ten feet through
shooting rock" and don't find a
Cons,ock or Bassick, are not dis
couraged, (although wherever float
has been found in this mineral belt
it has invaribly proved profitable by
sinking on it.) We want men that are
practicable. We have got plenty of
politicians, merchants enough to do
twicethe amount of business that is
done. Lawyers and doctors we have
plenty. Ringsters, ,tricksters, ,schemers
and hangers on are also here in abun-
dance. Send us some men with pluck,
energy and money, and in the course
of human events we will show you one
of the most prosperous mining camps
in the state; and in conclusion, to any
one seeking mining investments, we
can truthfully say that we do not know
a point that is more inviting at present
than the Ruby mining district.

ENTERPRISE.

We can hardly pick up Denver
paper or New York mining journal
but what we see communications from
almost every other mining camp in
the Gunnison country except ours.
OF course all journals are willing to
publish communications from the base
Of operation as a matter Of news pro-
vided it is always reliable. Taking
this into consideration, men in these
camps who are interested in
property and would like to see them
prosper, often write letters to papers
that espouse our cause abroad, thereby
placing them continually before the
public. But not line do we ever
see about the Ruby mining district,
while not unfrequently We see highly
colored articles descriptive of camps
that are perhaps on paper yet, or
nothing like SO pretentious as this
camp. We don't pretend to say that we
have not the ability here, but it is the
want Of energy and proper interest
felt by our citizens in this matter.
We do not mean to say that our camp
needsany advertising to "boast it ny"
as it were, or to make boom, so to
speak. for the richness of the mineral
found in this camp needs no false rep
resentation 70 make it permanent
and lasting mining camp for years to
come. But we must admit that there
is feeling of false pride existing in
US to want to see favorable mention
made of our locality occasionally in
our eastern journals. The PILoT is
d"ing all in its power to make the
camp known to the outside world, and
it is daily adding new subscribers to its
list from all parts of the country, but
still it is impossible almost to reach the
mass Of readers through one medium:
We understand that through the per-
sistent efforts of Mr.. Joe Selig, who
ought to be commended for his enter
prise in that direction, arrangements
have been made with a competent per
son to furnish communication, say
once . week, to journals of Denver,
Chicago and New York, for the pur-
pose Of giving the news that may be
current in this vicinity, with no view
of speculation, or to further the ends
Of any particular individual, but for
the mutual benefit of all who are in
terested in the welfare and prosperity
Of the Gunnison country, and in fact
the whole state Of Colorado.

In the presence of actual death people
think of the monster and shudder, while
they slumber calmly on any chances not
immediate Of passing the "bourne from
which no traveller returns" A. thousand
lives are destroyed by the burning Of
one theater. The world stands aghast
at the horror-for about ten days. They
look into the causes Of the disaster
while the impression of the disaster
is yet fresh, and determine to use every
means to prevent a reoccurrence Of the
catastrophe. Like those who "swear
off" on New Year, however. they soon
relapse into indifference and a happy
contentment to let the wide world wag as
it will. Great things were expected
from the New York Fire Commissioners,
who started out to examine into the con-
dition of the theaters there, with regard
to facilities of egress in case of fire.
Nothing substantial should have been
expected. They give valuable hints and
suggestions, but in a majority of cases
the examiners have found no necessity
to make any recommendations.

THE JEANETTE.

In every part of the world heartfelt
;ov ia exnressed that the brave sailors OF
the Jeanette have been discovered, and
that. though suffering, they have reached
a Mace of refuge. 1t is doubtful if the
majority Of men are in sympathy with
enterprises to explore the dangerous
regions of the frozen zone, but after
brave men have taken the risks involved
there are more who do not long for their
personal safety and their success in pur-
suit of scientific information. Ameri-
cans have been so conspicuous in arctic
explorations that our feelings for the
explorers have almost taken a national
hue. The qualification of the American
neople in the deliverance of the jean
nettc's crew is heightened by this circum-
stance, though it is hard to say that the
qualification Of the people OF Europe is
less, for the expressions OF sympathy
and congratulation from abroad are GER
tainly earnest and sincere. Says the
London Standard: Though the jean
nette has suffered destruction, the Amer
leans have added additional glory to that
they 1--we already won in the frozen
regions. 1t is more than possible that

Daniel Drew Chamberlain, nephew OF
Daniel Drew, for whom he was named,
pending the decision of the case on APP
peal to the Supreme Court, to test the
question of his sanity, was put by the
Court under the guardianship Of his
wife. Il was natural and kind of the
Judge to make this provision for the
temporary care of the unfortunate, who
no Doubt is insane. Mrs. Chamberlain
turns out, however, to be anything but a
tender guardian of a demented husband.
For reasons that are not peculiar to de-
PRAYED women, she wanted to get him
out of the way. At her instigation three
men seized him and hustled him away to
an insane asylum. The wolfish wife was
thus hasty because he, whom she had
solemnly promised to love and honor and
care for in sickness and all that, was
getting away with too much of his own
money, and because she had another
man in view to put in his place. The
whole case demands a thorough ~investi-
CATION, that it may be shown whether it
is possible to kidnap a man for his money
and escape r~etribution for the crime.

OLD

The frigate Constitution, "Old Iron
Sides" has been laid up in the ordinary
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the
ceremony of hauling down the flag per-
formed, showing that she has been
formally put out of commission. Every
schoolboy will remember Oliver Wendell
Holmes impassioned lines. commencing
"Aye, tear her battered ensign down."
which prevented the old ffigate from
being put out of commission when such
an act was contemplated on a previous
occasion, but the grand old vessel is now
so used up with age that it would be only
sentimental folly to keep her longer as
an expense to the Government. The
Constitution was built, by order of Con.
gress, March 81, 1894, of live oak, at
Boston, at a cost of over $500, 900. She
took part in several naval engagements,
the most famous of which was her victory
over the English man-of-war Guerrero,
on Aug. 10. 1912. But iron-plated ves-
sells, steam rams and ~torpedoes have re.
placed the old-time methods of naval
warfare, and "Old Ironsides" remains
only as a reminder Of the glory of the past.

POULTRY,

A vast quantity of tainted poultry
is sold in the large cities as we'll as in
the small towns of the United States.
Mr.. John Sutherland, the we'll known
restaurateur, expresses his astonishment
that the Board OF Health Of New York
pays no attention to the matter. A
large proportion of the poultry hung up
In the markets is ~unplucked. This is
very bad. The ehtrails of a fowl should
be extracted before the flesh becomes
cold. If delayed longer the unwhole-
some contents of the CUTS are absorbed
by the flesh, which becomes tainted and
putrid. Many of the skin and throat dis
eases prevalent are directly traceable to
eating bad poultry.
