majority. But they are sadly mistaken. For
every dollars worth of gold produced it is
estimated that 50 rs is spent in mining and
prospecting and in silver the comparison is
even more alarming.
When we were told that Colorado alone in
1898 produced gold 20 the value OF SIS, 293. OBJ +,
and OF silver SIS, 4S4,657 worth. we can begin
10 realize lie vast sums OF money that have
been misspenI and the energy msdirected. H.
aSmuch as more than 60 per cent OF the money
spent In mining Is practically thrown away. it
follows that considerable more tnan twice the
amount OF the above sums was expended in
these industries in Colorado during the past
year, showing a loss of millions rather than a
gam to the country.
The question arises where does this money
come from II the mines do not support the men
who work them? Ii is 4 question that can
best be answered by asking every man you
meet in Colorado, "Are you interested i'll min
ing?" At the Denver real-estate exchange a
few weeks ago / heard the chairman ask every
one present who was directly interested In
mining to stand up. Only one man remained
seated and he said he had only recently dis
posed of his mining properties. It IS the same
all over The Safe, and probably all over the
silver ana gold producing States. Ninety nine
of every hundred men are or have been fnan-
claliy interested In mining. Necessarily the
majority OF them have lost money, and during
the CRISIS of 1898 hundreds, yes thousands, OF
them suffered pryations as direct result.
The logical conclusion is that Colorado and
the other mining States are a vast Monte Carlo,
where everybody believes that luck Will come
his way. But the odds are in favor OF the house,
and old Mother til is the house that swal-
lows up all the profits and considerable more.
Only the losses OF actual capltal have been
mentioned; but there Is a much greater loss IN

La the first half the Emmets had the ad-
vantage and kept the ball most Of the time
in the territory of their opponents.
Toward the end of this half the Emmets
scored goal aud the Parnells had a
ducks egg to their credit.
AS usual the Parnells wakened up dur

about very naturally that the two men swore TO
Kill each other on sight. They met one night

They sat down at the supper-table of from
