BEETs WILL uRow.

None OF the beet sugar chieftains
have yet given out anything defin-
ite in the form OF words, as to
what would be the effect of the
pending sugar legislation in con-
gress and there has been a general
uncertainty in Colorado as to
whether it would be adopted by
the senate (Which is doubtful) be
a disaster to the sugar beet indus
try or possibly put a stop to it
But the facts speak louder than
words and they speak favorably.
Not only are the present refinery
companies going ahead with their
preparations, bat numerous new
ones are coming in and making
arrangements to set up in bust
ness. 1t is proposed even to haul
sugar beets 30 far as from Alamosa
to Sugar City. North of the divide
there is great activity at several
points where new sugar mills are
to be built, and the one at Grand
Junction has passed into the hands
of a new and stronger company
which will make it go.
just what the details of the
competition with Cuba and with
the sugar beet trust would be has
not been publicly discussed, but
what the people here want to know
is whether beets are to be grown
and sold. That they will be is
pretty we'll assured, and the indi-
cations of great and profta BILE
and safe industry are most enoour-
aging. AS in the case of iron and
steel and other manufactures, a
producing industry in Colorado
has a natural and permanent pro-
lection from the heavy freight
charges ACROSS the plains. Beet
sugar in Michigan and New York
state may be in peril, but all the
signs point to the assured success
of the beet works in Colorado

LEADvnLLE's NEW MOVE.

The consolidation of mining
properties on Fryer hill in the
Leadville district, formerly large
producers but unworked for six
years past, will further increase
production and activity in the
carbonate camp This combina-
tion gives to one management 100
acres of valuable ground, an
abundance of capital, modern ma
chinery and methods, energy and
enterprise and an assured basis for
profitable operations. Fryer hill
WAS one of the first and most pro-
ductive sections of the Leadville
district and yielded about 500, 0,0O0,-
coo of the 1886, 100000 credited to
that camp. The com bined proper
ties OF the new consolidation yield
ed an estimated $1S,00O,0O0. But
mining operations are now con-
Quoted on large scale, and capital
seeking investment in mines de-
mands larger area than formerly.
Small properties have ceased to be
profitable, except in exceptional
instances. The deepest workings
on these properties are only $50
feet, 30 that it may be said that
they are barely developed. That
they contain large blocks of rich
ore has been fully demonstrated,
and this mineral will be worked
out in a systematic and profita BILE
manner The new company is 60
ing promptly to work to install q
machinery plant and to begin the
raising of ore. A Leadville paper
asserts that the company will soon
be mining from 800 to 400 tons a
day. The organization of this
Fryer Hill Mines company will
give a new impetus to mining in
Leadville. Rocky Mountain News.

Full NLEAVE A TRAIL

That knowing ones follow.
As well known and successful men in all parts
OF tho United States hold contracts with The
National Home Investment Association, you
cannot do better than to
FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE
and get into tho cheapest, safest and easiest
plan to obtain a home pay of indebted
ness.
1T is THE CHEAPEST
because every ten members brings one contract
to the loan period and In case of lapses or with
drawals all contract-holders move up accord
inRly and your rent or interest stops that much
sooner.
TITS THE SAFEST
because Incorporated under the laws OF
Colorado and our monthly payments being
little higher than similar com panies our secu.
rity becomes much better. much faster and
should depression come upon us our securi-
ties will be able to stand the toughest gale.
1T THE EASIEST
bec ause the monthly ayments are within reach
of all and large enough to insure the loan per
iod within reasonable time. II, however, you
have to wait short time before your contract
reaches the loan period you are only putting
away that much money each month upon which
you are drawing interest. Our Withdrawal
privileges is very fair.
