there he opened the window on the side

Though hundreds worship at his word

But an honest mans aboon his might

For All their wealth of piscatorial

the waves which yesterday
was a part of yonder bank of crystal
whiteness. No place is there better
chance to harness Natures forces to
convert to mans uses than up here near
the crests and in the dells where great
rivers are born. Crystal River offers
wonderful advantages to develop power
sufficient for the whole Western slope.
So rapid is the descent OF this stream
that tho power of its waters may be
utilized over and over again every few
hundred feet, at many points and IN the
five miles between Marble and Crystal
a dozen power plants could use the force

dav "that man can take the power from
the stream and still it rolls on without
having lost any of its force" Why should
man waste energy TO turn griDdstone
or sausage mill when Nature would
most gladly supply the power with the
arplication of little energy and genius
to divert it? May men soon turn lost
mower of Nature to more account, i've
longer, easier and happier, until the
r,iIIenium brings the realization OF mans

but rather, that if mankind could attain

higher and nobler laws Of heaven might
prevail. Further, DIR. Meyer utterances

is applicable as we'll to miners, mine
operators and mine owners as to other
divisions into which human effort guides
the power Of mental and physical energy,
The man who invests money, labor and
time In mining property from which he
attempts to reap returns, is a benefactor
of humanity. He follows the one occu-
patton which in its pursuit adds to the
wealth of the world from the invisible,
without taking from another directly or
indirectly. Every other branch of labor
is entered in competitive contest of
some sort and restricted in its scope.
But while this is true of mining, there is
place for "those who lean" in mining,
which some spectators occupy. We
refer in particular to those holders of
promising mining claims who do not de-
yelop them and refuse to lease or bond to
others who are willing and anxious to do
so Tor chance to share in the treasures
that may be opened up. This class of
holder is usually nonresident who is
waiting for the more energetic persons
