THE SLL YER QUESTION.

Colorado produced from her silver
mines alone in 1881, $18,45o. 900.
The total product Of silver for the
entire world for the same period was
approximately 100000, 900, and of
this the United States produced S42,-
100000, or nearly 50 per cent, and
Of this production of the United
States, Colorado gave about IS per
cent. and of the entire worlds pro-
duct about 20 pet cent.
That is to say, Colorado, from the
employment of brain, bone and mus
Gle, gave to the world over s1S, 900,
900 of actual means Of enjoyment and
utility in the measure that all the
world employs to represent wealth.
We make no mention Of the gold out
put for the same period OF s., 400, 900.
In addition to this actual material
production, this industry that pours
so many millions, value measure and
medium Of exchange, into the streams
of commerce, also gave employment
to vast number Of men, support .c
many families, retrieved many fortunes,
lifted many from poverty to the op-
portunities of cultivation and refine
men: and furnished opportunities for
many more. 1t opened up to settle
ment and profit large tract of hither.
to unproductive country, and utilized
a vast amount of dormant material.
such a vast result is worthy the best
thought of economists and statesmen.
So great factor IN the growth and
prosperity Of the country and of the
world, has a right to demand the
highest consideration OF the Nations S
councils.
Colorado makes demands based
upon the dignity and world utility Of
a great and benehcent industry, and
these demands are that IN 80 far as con-
Germs our relations this home industry
Of mining the precious metals be placed
above mere party consideration, per-
sonal'political ambition, local ques-
tions and interests, aud purely selfish
ends, and the man who seeks to repre-
sent the State and who lacks the abil-
lty and personal influence to COM
mand not only from our own country,
but from the nations Of the world, the
proper and practical attention falls be-
low the dignity and high measure Of
the States welfare.

it was last, owing to the tax rate be.

From observation it looks as though
other states and territories are taking
q deeper interest in our Exposition
than our own State. It seems that
New Mexico Arizona, Montana,
Idaho and Nevada are making great
efforts to make good display, and it
will be a burning shame for those
places to step in and take the prizes,
when we have minerals of all kinds
at our door that can't be beat, and
only lack Of interest in the matter
will cause it. Therefore, We say that
it is to the interest Of every man. that
is at all interested in the welfare of
the State, to put his shoulder to the
wheel and help. Too many are apt
to say: "Well, I have got good
mine and I do not see that exhibiting
ore will be any advantage to me, for
l do not want to sell and even if l did,
l do not have to peddle around for
purchaser" That is all right enough,
but you should feel proud in showing
what you have got and although it
may not benefit you directly, it will
benefit you indirectly and work an
untold benefit to the advancement of
the State.

derstands the art of blending various fla

signature as a guarantee Of g%enuineness,
and each package contains the 1hurber
recipe for making good Coffee. We pack
two kinds, Thurber's "No. a." strong
and pungent; Thurber's "No. A." mild
and rich. One or the other will suit every
taste. They have the three great points,
good quality, honest quantity reasonable

roasted C9Fee IN pound packages, "No. "a"
or "No. H." Do not be put off with any
other kind-your own palate will tell you
what is best.
Where persons desire 1t, we also furnish

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

At an informal meeting of the session
of the Presbyterian church Of Union
vile, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted, in reference to
he death of Mr.. Ro bert M. Russell,
ruling elder of said church, who de-
parted this life on the Sth of Jaly, 1882.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God in
His all-wse providence, to remove
from us by death, our esteemed fellow
Christian, Robert NJ Russell, brother
| beloved in the Lord and a most es-
timable member of this session, from
the organization of the church till the
time of his death.
THEREFORE, AS an expression of
our feelings on this solemn occasion,
and as becoming testimony to the
worth of the deceased. Session adopts
the following resolutions:
1st. In this solemn dispensation we
recognize the hand of an all-wise and
all-merciful heavenly Father, whose
"way is in the sea, and whose paths
are in deep waters"-but who 'doeth all
things we'll" To His will we bow
with humble submission, and while
we mourn the loss of our esteemed
brother in Christ, taken from us in the
full power Of his intellectual faculties
and in the meridian of life and useful
ness, we feel constrained to thank
God that he was permitted to live and
labor with US 80 long, for the good of
the church, which he so greatly loved,
and the interests of which he had at
heart, and was endeavoring to pro-
mote to the day of his death
ID That in this affective dispensa-
tion of Providence we recognize the
voice of God calling us as session, as q
congregation and as individuals, to
greater diligence in the vineyard of
the Lord, working while the day lasts,
'for the night cometh when no man
can work"
