Address by Rev. DR.. blanchard at City
Hall Last Evening.

Hall Last Evening.
A meeting in the series of the Washing
tonoian movement was held last evening
in City Hall, beginning at 7.30 O'CLOCK
with a praise service after which Rev. IL.
F. Dexter read the 10th Psalm and then
offered prayer.
Another hymn was sung after which
Capt. George H. Blake was introduced
and spoke as follows:
'There have been many heroes in lie,
and in the days of the civil war there
were many men who by bravery and
gallant services won fame as heroes.
Their heroism was of physical type.
When Christ came on earth he taught IN
substance that men should aim 10
conquer themselves.
More than 1900 people in this city have
signed the pledge of total abstinence
since the revival of the Washingtonian
movement.
What we need is an intense public
enthuiasm along temperance lines. SNAIL
we not have public opinion strong and
deep enough to wipe out the evils OF in
temperance from among us. We ask to-
night how many of you will help US in
this work.
The hymn Throw out the life line
was then sung. after which Rev. Dr..
Henry Blanchard was introduced. DR..
Blanchard said:
"It is gratifying to see SO many young
men tonight, as what have to say par
ticulary concerns them. | remember
when young man myself of meeting
young man whom | learned afterwards
owing to the conditions that had been
thrown around him had became cou-
firmed drunkard.
"Well do / remember the appeal made
to him to make promise to stop his
habits of intoxication. The reply was
it was too late. He would not take the
pledge. That young man had not taken
hold OF the hand of God. God is seek
ing God and He is constantly by his
spirit brooding over humanity, watch
ing for chance to help us. God is
ready to extend the hand of helpfull-
ness.
II am deeply interested in the WASH
ingtonian movement. 1t is not depend
ent on politics; it is doctrine of self
mastery. He who depends on his own
strength is foolish in the sight ,of God.
/ have on the one hand pity for the
drunkard, and on the other hand indig-
nation for them.

"Mr. Pearson was the last speaker and

Rollins mine; while work IS progressing

has it that the company operating this

Adjoining the Cave is the Decem-

that the present showing in this prop

In the near vicinity of the Rollins,
four miles to the south, it is reported
that an old miner named Harris is
working a prospect in which there are
stringers and stratas of very rich ore,
from which shipments have been made

Mr.. Lewis is an old newspaper man,

finds that mining is just as interesting
as the newspaper business and that
there is as much excitement in digging
for deposits of the precious metals as
there is in digging around for news

of it, and better wages.

Centennial State Leads All Others In
yellow. Metal List.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 29.-The books of
the United States branch mint for the
year 1897 are now closed. The deposits
of gold are the largest ever received.
The total viii slightly exceed $12 200,-
coo, and a conservative estimate made
by the mint officials places the entire
output Of Colorado at $22,0000O0, in
round figures.
1t IS claimed here that Colorado will
go far ahead of California, as it is
said to be doubtful if Californias out
put will touch the SIS, 100000 mark. Last
year, Colorado's output was SIG, 500, 600,
and that Of California was ST., 000, 600,
while the total production of the coun-
try was SCI, III, 1926. The great increase
in the Colorado output this year will
send the total for the United States up
to the 0,000 900 mark.
A special to the Times from Wash

Director of the Mint Preston said to
the Times correspondent this after

The bond on the property, which was
