Elias Gilbert, one of the 1850 miners,
died at his home at $50 South York
street, Denver, Cal, after brief ILL
ness of pneumonia. Mr. Gilbert came
to Denver in 1859 and in 1861 was mar
ried to Miss Minnie S. King, daughter
of David King. Mr. Gilbert was con-
tractor during the construction of the
Kansas Pacific and afterward estab-
lshed a supply store at Kit Carson.
He was a member of Red Cliff lodge,
No. 49,, and the Denver MaSOnS had
charge of the funeral services, which
were held, April II, from Martins I'M
dertaking rooms. He died March 26.
Mr. Gilbert was born in Newtown, &c
years ago. His widow, Mrs Gilbert,
we'll and favorably known here, is the
sole survivor and has the sympathy of
all in her sad bereavement.

Some weeks ago, the M. H. q. Co.,
received large number OF old half
dollars, ranging in dates from 1907 to
1882. These they gave to their en-
ployes as part of their wages. Being
coined so long ago and still looking as
if they were not in circulation very
much led many people to wonder why
they were so common and in such good
condition. Some reasoned that it had
been saved up by msers for years, but
that is not the case. Perhaps a few
words in regard to them would not be
ont of place. The turban head liberty
half dollars were first issued in 1907,
and with the exception Of the yeaS
1916, when none were struck, were is
sued up to and including 1886. All
have the spread eagle on the reverse
with the value expressed beneath, SOC.
Around the edge in sunken letters are
the words, "Fifty Cents'' or "Half a
Dollar" 1t is a fact that most of
these pieces are more common and in a
better state of preservation than those
Of later dates. The secret of this, no
doubt, lies very much in the fact that
in 1907 the Harmony Society, with
headquarters at Harmony, Pa, made
an agreement to place all their wealth
in common fund. They sold consid-
cradle possessions, and were successful
business men. The cash was placed in
the hands of Father Rapp, their trusted
leader, because they had no faith in
the permanence of the bank bills or of
the banks themselves; they turned
their money all into silver and buried
their boards in the earth for security.
This continued for years, and as one
| leader died the secret boarding place
was contided to his successor. All dur
ing the Civil War, when silver went to
high premium, it remained buried
and not until 1877-78 was it exhumed
and invested. OF the $50, 900 in buried
silver over $4,000 of it was in early
American half dollars, much of it just
| as it came from the mint. 1t was then
shipped to Pittsburg banks and dis
| tributed, the best of it to gladden. the
hearts of collectors and excite the sur
prise of the novice, who found a pc
culiar looking silver conn., which he
saved, perhaps as pocket piece, per-
haps as lucky coin, and now having
gotten as far as Roxbury the few col
lectors here have saved an bought all
they could, thinking they" can get a
large premium on them. Keep them,
boys, even if they are common, and
you will always have money on hand.
They command five cents premium
and some are worth their face value
only. The head of Liberty on these
coins is certainly nobler and more
artistic one than that on our coins to-
day and the old eagle is more majestic
and nearer my ideal of the king of
birds than the vul ture-looking, half
starved bird on our present coins.
