certain features of the mining activity OF
a region which has added so much to
the reputation of Colorado. I am prompt
ed to do this more particularly because 1t

Is the youngest born of Colorado's gold
discoveries and 1t sprang into vigorous
life during the hour of financial distress
When the press devotes three-quarters OF
Its mining intelligence to the doing OF
one camp there is apt to be produced an
impression that Colorado, like some
other countries, Is a mining territory with
only one productive district. The records
show that again and again the state has
survived the temporary depletion Of one
particular camp or the depression OF one

traordinary diversity of mineral wealth
and very fortunate multiplicity Of ore

Suppression OF Nuisance In the Smoking

1t was in the smoking room of
transatlantic liner bound for New

known in his native city and the west,
was of the number. The smoking

great guns and the ship was pitching

Nearly all were seasiIa. Probably
the worst of the lot was New York

fering.
Ch'cago's champion was loud talker
as well as good one. lie had secured
the floor very frequently that after
noon. OF course, whenever possible,
he had tucked in an argument for
Chicago's greatness. The hearers be-
came surfeited. 1t was Che-caw-ger,
Che-caw-ger, Che-caw-ger. Finally
eastern politeness was exhausted, and
no one answered his last sally. At this
he seemed to suddenly become aware
that he had overdone the job, and, as
II to cover his retreat, he sought shell.
ter by abruptly changing his subject
of conversation and inquiring:
II wonder what land we will see
frst?"
AT this the seasick New York law
yer, who had been silently and for a
long time taking it all in from a far
corner, raised his head and slowly
growled:
IF Chicago is half as big as she
thinks she is we shall see Chicago
| first"
The effort was vociierously applaud
