The encouraging feature OF these
strikes is the fact that they prove in
SO numerous instances that where de
velOpment work opens "A lode to any
considerable depth, the ore bodies be
come concentrated and large, While
the assay values shown by surface
groupings are almost invariably main
tanned.
This argues a prosperous future for
the Telluride district, for it is well
known that we have any number o.
mineral locations whose shallow sur
face workings are most encouraging,
promising that development will con
vert them into good paying mines.
These conditions are attracting
more interest and investigation from
capital than ever before-a situation
that is bound to bring expanded ac-
tivity and prosperity.

CHICAGO. H., Aug. 10.-General
Miles was here today enroute to San
Francisco. His former aide, Colonel
Maus, who is on his way to assume
command at Fort Reno, Oklahoma, is
with him; also General John C.. Black,
and other Grand Army men.
General Miles said that it was
crime against humanity for nations to
engage " war. 1t is only question
of time before the human family be-
come intelligent enough TO cease war
fare Nations should hold a congress
and adopt standard armament. One
soldier for a thousand persons would
be reasonable. Then let the proper
tional armies meet in battle, and let
the loser abide by the result. When
is followed out the logical conclusion
is that differences OF nations will be
settled by peaceable cabinets. Il
would not abolish armies entirely but
reduce them to a minimum. The pres
ent military system of the world is ar
tifcial and if maintained, will cause
disaster.
