There is rumor that Chairman
Jones of the National Democratic
committee favors the nomination of
General Miles for president. We do
not know how much of a democrat
General Miles is or whether by
nature. or training he is ADAPTED for
the high executive position. but we
do know that he is a splendid Ameri-
can and soldier and as high minded
and honest man as ever commanded
the army. 1t is the fashion of certain
vultures OF the press to misrepresent
and besmirch General Miles on every
possible occasion-probably because
he is in disfavor with the fragrant
army ring, which maintains "A crew
of press agents, and because he rose
from tile ranks and is therefore out
side the close corporation of toad
eaters known as West Pointers. Cen
eral Miles army record is answer

A Good Thing.

The Boulder Herald needed filler
so the editor wrote the following,
which is appropriate and timely:
''And now the people of Colorado
will go to a lower altitude for a while
and those of lower country will
come to this glorious country. 1t is
II good thing that God made Colorado,
but even those who have the privilege
of living in this glorious country
must of necessity take change once
in while. People can not live on
sugar all the time. The altitude
effects some in such way that a
change is benecfiial once in "A while.
May those who go east return much
improved in health and be prepared
to face the battles of next fall and
winter with renewed energy and
strength. -

Push the Work.

The Whitewater company, the only
one operating in the past sixty days.
A few of the stockholders have sub
scribed sufficient money to place the
we'll in fine condition to make thor
ough test for oil.
Having everything on the ground
in the way of tools and casing Now
all that is needed is money enough TO
keep our drillers at work for the next
sixty days which will test the ground.
A fine oil sand was encountered few
days ago which in the opinion of the
driller was of fine quality, and this
competent man is of the opinion that
the next sand encountered will produce
oil.
AT the last meeting of the board of
directors it was decided to place a
limited amount of stock on the mar
ket at cents per share for the pur-
pose of completing the work now
started ON the we'll.
Now word to all those who h ave
invested in any of the companies
which operated in the Grand Valley.
1t is surely to your interests to help
to make this test at Whitewater. If
we find oil your companies will be
alive with new interest and your
holdings will be of great value.
1T the Whitewater well fails to CON
tinue then all is lost. We only ask
that the people keep our men at work
for the next sixty days. In this time
we believe oil or pure water will be
encountered. Either will prove of
great value to our county. We hope
you will see this matter in the right
light and help as much as you feel
able. We remain,
Yours truly.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
ARE THEY THE OPHIR MINES

Biblical authorities, geographers
and many others have taken a keen
interest in locating, or attempting to
locate. the Ophir of the Bible, and,
as during the past three years the ex-
istence of an extensive and rich min
eral field has been discovered in
Egypt. situated in that belt of country
lying between the River Nile and the
Red Sea, and between the twentieth
and twenty eighth parallels of lati-
tude, some particulars relating to the
prehistoric and present working of
this region may be interesting, to-
gether with suggestion that this
mineral belt-which is particularly
rich in gold and precious stones-is
the much-sought and oft located Ophir.
This is the belief of a well-known
EgyptoloRist who has just issued ii
pamphlet on the subject.
1t is impossible to affirm that this
is the real Ophir. whence the Queen
of Sheba journeyed to visit Solomon
with her caravan of camels carrying
magnificent gifts, which included 1870
talents of gold. which she afterward
supplemented to total of 666 talents
in the course of year. but extensive
old ruins of ancient cities and viii
lages, numerous mines. old mining
implements. dams. wells. roads. etc. +,
have been discovered. which all help
to support the superstition, and, with
the addition OF Biblical and classical
references, make very strong case
The country is now being thor
oughlv examined by explorers. Egypt
ologists and mining experts. who are
daily bringing to light fresh evidences
of the original wealth of the country
Indeed, the word Original might
we'll be omitted, for sufficient gold
has already been won to indicate that
the old mines are far from working
out. Modern applicances enable us
TO proceed where the ancients had to
abandon their work for fear of the
mines subsiding. These mines have
probably not been worked for a thous-
and years, for AN ancient Arabian his
torian-el Macrizi-tells us that the
Arabian chief, Omary, was forced by
the Egyptians to abandon working the
mines of Darhieb Wadi Allagi) over
1000 years ago, and, from all evil
dences, that is probably the last time
they were worked. The Wadi Allagi
was apparently the center of these ex-
tenisve mining operations. and the
old ruins of n large city. named Dare
HEB. are there. 1t is situated be-
tween two ranges of hills, and in
these hills the old ancients burrowed
for gold. The ruins of Darehieb are
most interesting. The buildings We're
composed of slate and stone slabs of
irregular shapes securely cemented to-
gether and there are still several build
ings which are not altogether fallen
to pieces, although the were probably
built three thousand years ago.
The inhabitants of the Wadi Allagi
are the Bishereen tribe of Arabs. a
most warlike people.
Explorers now occupy the old aban-
doned buildings, but they find a great
drawback to them on account of the
vipers, bats and scorpions that haunt
the place.
