TIMING COLUTlN.
THE r1OST LE0,MATE INDuST-
RY-MINING

In this era of consolidation and
trust legislation, to destroy compe
tition, is it net noticeable that the
precious metal mining industry is
the only one that supports all 9TH
ers and completes with none, says
the Mining Reporter. A new fac
tory completes with established
ones, new farms tend to lower
prices of products, another store
cuts into business of existing ones;
the gold and silver miner alone
enriches all and competes with
none. The miner creates the real
wealth. patronizes all other estab-
lishments; he produces nothing
that he can consume; he affords the
best markets for the products OF
others; the amount of his pur-
chases depends upon the amount
of mineral development in his sec
ton. His mine sets IN motion
and sustains oil other industries.
AS a promoter of railroad traffic,
us a sustalner of farm and steel
industries, as creator OF all new
industries, as a customer ot fac
tories of all kinds, the miner Is the
haof ,,urcIaspr
1t has been estimated that each
miuer working underground at
fords employment for eight men
above ground, thus putting in mo-
ton different waves and industries
which profit the farmer, merchant,
manufacturer, railroad and steam
boat man. Self-interest should
suggest to every business man in
every capacity that anything that
aids the mining industry aids ali
other business. Whatever helps
the miner helps all. Whatever re-
tards the mining industry injuries
to some extent the welfare OF the
country. The miner is not like
the banker, the railroad promoter
and the trust organizer, who still
is always asking for legislation 10
protect and foster trusts to destroy
competition. Were it not for the
miner, nearly all of the Pacific
coast would still be wilderness.
When the miner has money to
spend, everybody in his communi-
is prosperous. The miner is the
pioneer and parent of all indust-
ries. The precious metal miner
helps all and injuries none.

Gunnison people are rejoicing

ed smelter. The site donated by
the town, consists Of a forty acre
tract of land situated about mile
north If the town, lying between
the two railway lines and spurs
will be extended from each to the
smelter ground. 1t is claimed
that the money needed to carry
out the enterprise is being fur

decided, and they were approaching the corner where
the eldest child must give UP her place, when there
sounded on the heavy air the startling, hurrylng
clang OF a fire bell.
People put their heads or Of the windows: they
rushed from all sides; they loCSed north and south and
east and west; they peered up and down the cross
streets. and then they saw and heard. far down The
street. a rafting, glittering mass, the swept names and
headlOng gait of galoping horses, and amidst smoke
clouds and changing, in a furious whirl Of brass and
scarlet. a leviathan fire engine rolled past, reverberat-
ing. Two more engines rumbled herceIy behind, like
chariots in a terrific chariot race, with enormous
plunging horses and helmeted hremen straining for

whistling and yelling is an ec<tasy of excitement, and
a hurrying crowd walked and ran in their wake.
In this crowd Annie and the children were swept

in their EeighbOrhOOd; but this time with an especial
enthusiasm. for high up on the front of the Earring
hook and ladder wagon that closed the procession they
saw Mr.. Murphy. What was more remarkable, in all
the crowd and in his rushing passage he had seen
ly at them.
And it seemed only fitting when they reached the
object of so rapid a chase, led by engines so glorious,
that this should be a raging fire in a building so given
up to it. that its square lines and fat front were seen
wavering and almost hidden IN clouds Of black smoke,
with sheets Of flame rising frOm7its roof and brilliant
tongues darting from its lower windows.
But that impulse of excitement which had drawn
them to it as to an eXhilarating spectacle. received q
