THE following is most respectfully submitted to its editor Of the Bulletin:
 "The Gilpin county, Colorado, there is no industry but mining. The county measures about twenty miles in one direction and eight to ten in the other. It is a mass of bare and rugged hills parted from each other only by narrow creeks and ravines. If you need level place to sit down on, you have to make one. If the whole county were offered to the poorest or richest man in the world az gift, but with the praviso that no mining must be done, it would be declined at once. Aside from its output of gold-with little silver, copper and lead added-it Is perhaps the most utterly worthless tract of land on the continent. Yet 1t has a population of about 5000, rail- road, a complete water, sewer, tele- phone and electric light system; three banks, and churches, hospitals and oth- CT similar institutions to burn. More than all this the county is not only out Of debt, but has BIO, 900 cash on hand. Does gold mining as an industry pay ? This looks very much like it, and lest anyone should imagine that the region is simply on a boom at present we will add that it was discovered about forty three years ago, and has ever since been engaged exclusively, entirely, solely and only in the business of gold mining. It will be similarly employed a thousand years from now"

 Van Gorder, J. G. Lowdon and c. r.
 ROsecrans. Messrs. Lowdon and Thomson were elected president and
 vice-president respectively; c. P. Rose crans was elected cashier, position he has filled for the past year with the Bank of Clifton, and W. E. Arnold of Fl Paso, as assistant. Mr. Arnold will arrive in few days to assume his new duties. The Bank of Clifton as hereto fore run has been thrifty, prosperous institution, besides filling a long felt want in this community. Under the new regime, manned as it is with the very best business talent of Graham county, it cannot help but grow, en- large and flourish. The ERA bespeaks for it and it's management the full con- fidence of the public and hopes it will make all of its promoters millionaires.

WE call especial notice to the very this issue of THE COPPER ERA by Col. P k. Smith, who is undoubtedly one of the best authorities on Copper mines, and mining in all the wide west. His long experience, icarefql and conserva- tive system Of exaflIL,.tions and going fHSo all the conditions, and details Of the business, accounts in great meas ure for his phenomenal success in se- curing for his clients the most valuable properties, in their experimental stage to be found in this country. Commencing with the old St. Louis property in the Burro mountains, New Mexico, and tracing his selections from that now famous producer, then the Shanncl, the Stevens group, the Me Lean gf2up, the Porter and Wright group and1ast but not least the Clifton group at Santa Rita, New Mexico, he has not made single mistake, and in all these large transactions, no man, either buyer or seller has ever risen up to say that he has ever misrepre- sented or misstated the facts in one single instance. This is a record to be proud of, and one of the editors of this mately for more than 20 years, knows whereof he speaks when he pens this editorial.

What a Prominent Mining Man
 Thinks of the Clifton District.
Editor. Copper ERA.

Editors Copper ERA
 GENTLEMEN:-In reviewing an inter- view given in your estimable paper, De- cember 2, 1900, am pleased to see that my predictions in regard to this great camp have been practically veri- fed. Fifty thousand dollars spent on the Shanuon mine, have uncovered, ac- cOrding to recent expert tests, over s3.OO0.O00 worth of ore net value, and if the same lines are persued in the development of the Stevens, the Mclean and Porter, and Wright groups, equal results may be expected. Besides these, there are many other smaller groups Of fine partially devel- oped prospects, that are worthy of in- vestigation. The Standard Mining Co.,, who purchased the Stevens and Craw- ford prospects in the Greenlee mining district are making fine showing in their recent development and in my opinion under good practical manage ment these claims will develop into good producers. The Clifton Arizona Copper Co. have secured and are now developing large group in the Green lee mining district. This company's property consists in part Of the follow ing valuable claims:
 The Smart property, the Audley Smith group and several other valuable prospects, aggregating about 20 claims. With good management, and sufficient money properly expended, this com pany should make phenomenal suc- cess. The Santa Rosa Copper Co. own twelve claims in the Copper Mountain mining dist, and by securing Lee Bros chears several claims, they would have a combination which would only need development to become very profitable The veins are small on these claims but extremely rich, the smelter re- ceipts of several shipments running as high as 40 per cent to 60 per cent cop per. Tanner, Stevens and Randolph three old time prospectors and miners of long experience, own the control in this company. They have borne the brunt of the hard stages through which this camp has passed for over twenty years, have struggled along and held their claims through all these years but now are about to receive their re ward, and they deserve it. The pro ceeds of every dollar of treasury stock received by those honest old time boys will be religiously expended in devel opment of their property. The cap italization of the Santa Rosa Co. i: small and the owners of the mines took stock in the company for every dollar of their interest. This shows faith a: we'll as works and 1 wish them the sue cess they deserve. The Mexican group at Metcalf of four claims is well located for development by tunnels. They are fine prospects and will in my opin ion develop into good paying mines These claims are owned by Fraissinet Abrahams, and Smadbeck and are al

THE completion of the broad gauge road to this place means much for Cliff ton and vicinity. It marks an epoch in the tide of affairs which will divide Clifton of old from the new Clifton that is now to spring into life. All lines of business, from copper smelting to pea nut peddling will grow and expand in- to broad gauge enterprises and ere an- other year rolls aro'Ind Clifton will al- most have doubled in population. This new condition of things is entirely due to two men. Mir. Jas. ColquhOun and Mir. H. J. Simmons, to whom too much credit cannot be given. All hail to them

patented. There is also another group which has come under my observation, which is worthy of examination. This is known as the Defiance group, owned by Fry and Crowley, tthey also control the Greenback groups). all told about fifteen claims. have not made per sonal examination of this property, but it is in a good Sistrict and is well spoken of by zoe 3mining men. l can confirm my first impression of this great camp most emphatically, and am glad to say that the last twelve months developments have more than verified every prediction made by me at that time Before closing this article l cannot refrain from venturing a little advice to my many friends owning good prospects in this rich mining district Don't waste your time and money under present conditions trying to work your claims on the poor mans plan. This is a camp with great future; it is hardly scratched yet, and still it is producing over ten million dollars annually. It requires large cap ital for successful mining here. This Is apparent to every sensible practical copper expert who understands the situation. I advise all those who hold good claims to get together, raise a development fund among yourselves, and open your mines in a practical com nonsense way, so far as you are able. Don't gouge out all your best ore, and rush it of to'the market to realize less than half it's value, as is the case now, but leave 5t on the dump and in the mine until ydL have enough show ing to attract lcapital sufficient to make your propkrty a success. You can do this in twd ways: Ist, by selling out 'ght at good price, and 2d, selling an rhterest suffi ficient to capitalists who are able and lwilling to put your property on a dividend paying basis and make your owl jh holdings valuable. The time will com when good min CT, owning a gooh claim, can make il pay, but that timelis not yet.
 The broadening of the A. c. Co.'S narrow guage roaH to Lordsburg, and possible connectidn with the Phelps Dodge road now building south, the branch from Morenci to Guthrie, the increase of the A. c. Co.'S plant from 300 to 1000 tons daily capacity, and the big plant now in embryo by the Shannon Company, saying nothing of the many improvements going on in a les: grand scale, all these tend to show the immense possibilities of this won derful camp. I predict that in les: than five years that every miner whC can bring one ton of good ore to tho smelters here will get full value for it
 What is needed in this district is more and greater facilities for handling tn, products of the camp, more and cheap CT transportation, more systematic anG economical development of the bette
 prospects. These things Are all com ing in due time. Use energy, patienc, and perseverance and you are sure to reap your reward. I venture thes, suggestions, because I believe in tn, camp, and like the people. I expec
 to see every prediction herein made realized and proven before the Is
 day of July, 1905. Make d note Of thii and sec. ~-P. K. SMITH.

THERE will be three small steamers pnt on the Colorado river soon to fly between Yuma and Gulf ports. These boats have been shipped in sections from Chicago. It will not be many years until three small steamers will multiply and increase many fold, for Yuma is destined to become one of the largest and most ilourishing cities on the Pacific coast. All Arizona will be proud Of her seaport city ere ten more summers have come and gone: The construction Of the Isthmian canal will do more to build up Yuma than a thou sand penitentiaries.-

Younger Bros. Paroled

Cole and James Younger, serving life sentences at Saltwater, Minn., prison, have been paroled by the board of prison managers. It is stated that the action of the board was unanimous. The Younger brothers have been in Saltwater since 1876 for the Northfield bank robbery, and the murder commit ted during the progress of the raid. The action was under authority of the law passed at the last session of the legislature. Before the parole be- comes effective it must be approved in writing by all of the members of the board of pardons, Governor Van Saut, Attorney General Douglass and Chief Justice Start. Cole, James, and Bob Younger were imprisoned for their raid on the Bank of Northfield in September, 1876. The James brothers Jesse and Frank escaped to Miss ouri. Two members of the gang were killed, and Bob Younger died in prison.
