ment has kept it apace with the growth
OF the town and made it seem one OF the
necessary factors in the local business
world. Its excellent standing and the
high favor the house finds with Florence
citizens is due to the excellent manage
ment OF Mr.. F. Mitchell, the general
manager. Mr.. Mitchell was born in
England i'll 1883 and came to this coun-
try in 1875, when seventeen years of
age. He located first at Wilkesbarre,
Pa, but made Florence his home in 1886.
When Mr. Mitchell came here he i'm
mediately undertook the work of or
ganizing the Jones Grocery company,
purchasing the small business of Hanger
Turner as nucleus around which to
build out greater business In the work
OF building up the business Mr.. Mitch
ell was ably assisted by William Mitch
ell and 1t grew at such remarkable
pace that incorporation was decided up
on. This was effected in 1900 and the
name OF the Jones Grocery company
went upon the county and state records.
AT the same time the old quarters in the
Alexander block were abandoned for
the present handsome and well-stocked
store.
The present officers of the corporation
are as follows:
President NJ. Jones, Florence; vice
president, Thomas Williams, Piston,
Pa; treasurer, Giles E. Hallack, Flor
ence
President Jones is the father-in-law
OF General Manager F. Mitchell.
The Jones Grocery company caters to
the very best grocery trade in the city.
In order to do this it is necessary to
carry large stock and TO exercise par
ticular care in the selection Of it. The
result is that the house maintains stock
OF the best Of grocery and food stuffs.
and this stock Is constantly being re-

FINEST SMELTER
EVER BUILT
ROCKY MOUNTAIN SMELLING CO.'S PLANT
OPENING MARKS NEW ERA-CoMpANY is NOW IN THE MARKET
FOR ALL GRE.

The Rocky Mountain smelter's sources
OF ore supply are numerous. A large
part will come from the Cripple Greek
district over the Florence & Cripple
Creek Railway. The iron sulphide ores
abounding in Custer county will be
treated ultimately, when the necessary
railroad facilities are provided. Pro
duction will be stimulated in the Silver
Cliff district, the plant will prove boon
to Dawson City, the copper camp eleven
miles west of here. The mineral fields
OF Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Mon
tana and other states will contribute
in fact, contracts for ore have been
closed with some of these The pro-
posed Florence Southern Railroad.
which is backed by some of the same
capitalists will reach the plant and will
open up new sources OF ore supply.
The new industry means great things
for Florence, Vice President Danforth,
OF the company estimates that it will
mean an increase of 900 in the popu-
lation of the town The smelter is al
ready employing 100 men, and this
number may have to be increased. Its
good effects upon the town are already
being felt, and Florence is proud OF the
new plant.
The Rocky Mountain smelter is
wholly independent of the American
Smelling & Refining Company, better
known as the smclter trust, and will
bid for all ores that are for sale.

THE SMART GUY AND
THE KID BROTHER


The Smart Guy and the Kid Brother
were Sons of the Same Father, and
Mother, too, for that matter, but They
were Poor Little Orphans, thrown
upon the Cruel World before they had
Voted for More than Couple of Presi
dents Apiece. With what Little Cigar
cite Money they Had they came to the
Wonderful State of Colorado, to Get a
few Gold Mines. Their Cigarette
Money was about $1,000 Apiece( which
the Old Man had left Them in a Sock.
Now, there is Great Difference in
Brothers. The Smart Guy Knew it
All, but the Kid Brother didn't Know
Any OF it. OF course, the Smart Guv
set about to Increase his Funds. He
invested in Gold Bricks, went up
against the Faro Game and PLAYED
Policy. But his Investments didn't Pan
Out well, and he Had to Draw on his
Kid Brothers Resources. The Kid
Brother had Invested $1,000 in Flor
enee Real Estate, Selecting some that
he Knew the Big Railroad Corporations
would Soon be Hankering After. But
He gave the Smart Guy $4,000 out of
Brotherly Love after First Kissing il
Good Bye. When the Smart Guy went
up Against another Mans Game and
Lost every Sou, the Kid Brother called
Him Great Chump and the Smart GUY
Squared off and Hit Him a Biff in tbe
Breastworks. He then went Out and
Got his Lobsters on and was On the
Hog Absolutely To-day he is Shovel
ing Smoke at the Smelter between
Drinks.
But the Kid Brother Hung onto his
Property until Big Railroad Octopus
got Down on its Knees and Begged
Him to Sell it for Half Interest in
the Road To-day he is a Bloated
Bondholder and Teaches Sunday
School. For Amusement he Builds
Libraries and gives Thanksgiving Din
ners to the Poor He Smokes Ten
Cent Cigars and Drives Fast Horse,
and II lie Sees anything he Wants he
Orders it Sent Up to his House.
All of Which goes to Show that the
Smart Guy is Not Always as Wise in
the Head as his Kid Brother.
