One man tes- tilted that he made anywhere from i've to ten dollars day and he worked eight or nine hours. He further said that when the men got into the mines they went for their dinner pails about the first thing, then would blow cou- pie of holes and sit down and smoke and talk politics. Some of the witt nesses reported getting salary of 5000 a year and more; one mans earn ings being s2sOO. The average pay was put at $500 or s7O0. One fact seems to have been brought out very clearly, which is that 75,OO0 men can do the work which 1OO, ,OOO men are now doing, and this surplus 25,OO0 men make it harder for the rest to get large waves. An examination of the fuel shortage in the cities has revealed the fact that owing to the large amount of work this winter the charitable institutions have not been called upon to furnish much more coal than usual and there has been coal enough for ac- tual need. Many families are living by one stove this winter and so saving on the coal question. In Chicago, Washington and some of the cities of New England, however, there has been much suffering among the poor and many calls for help.

 Genius. England has been opening the eyes of the British busi- ness men and scientists to the way we do things in this country. He said that our inventions had been the re- suit of the scarcity of men to do the work: as when menacould not be found machinery was patented to do the work of the men. As an illustration he cited the Homestead mills where four thousand men produced three times as much steel as the Krupp works in Germany do with 15,O0o men. He told of visit which some English visitors paid to Homestead where MT Schwab showed them the mill wheD 75O tons of plate girders were turned out in day. The ingots were handled by electricity, put in the rolls, the screws were adjusted by electricity, all done without the touch of mans hand.

our horse industry. We particularly
wish to emphasize the fact that we
have fine horses here-as fine as will

want the farmer or horSemau who NAV

stock with him for he Will find many
neople here who will app eciate the
values of well-b',d horses and who
themselves possess, perhaps. one or
more high class animals.
There are number of standard
bred horses in the county. Some few
of these were brought here from the
big horse sale held in Denver la '
February. There a-e also in the
county many exceptionally fine two
and three year old colts sired by Delta
county horses. In the draft horse
line, there are several animals that
cannot be beat in Western Colorado.
