Denver there is an uninterrupted toll
line which requires the exclusive at

the number of subscribers connected
with the central office here cannot but
be most gratifying to the Colorado

was an automatic exchange with thir-
ty-five subscribers; today three hun

practically inexhaustible. Most i'm

conclusion was always the same

Looked upon distinctively as an
agricultural and horticultural section,
that exploitation for precious metals
which obtains in all the western
counties of Colorado, was neglected
until IA few years ago, when to the
surp Use of many it was found that
Mesa county could lay claim to being
ricl in some of the best commercial
metals, besides being rich in proven
values of gold AMI silver. A few of
the old timers Hho had haG mining
experience, insisted that i'll the Una

IN tnls which would enrich this set
iiun far more than he nroducts of the
fields or orchards These few men
were Looked upon with IA questioning
eye aud little credence was given to
their predictions, but time has proven
the truth of their faith and there has
been found mineral wealth. While
it has not been fully developed nor as
yet producing the wealth of the agri-
cultural or horticultural products,
bids fair in few years to realize all
that was said of it as a mineral sec
ton.
The precious and commercial me-
tails are where you find them, is an
old saying in the mining camps of the
west. There is no positive law in
nature to point out where precious
metals exist. Had the early miners
and settlers of Cripple Greek listened
to the final decision of the learned
geologiSts and mineralogists of this
state, there might have been no Grip
pie Greek, as their pronunciamento was
against the possibility of ever finding
precious metals i'll any OF the ore
which had been first dug from the
bowels of the earth in that famous
camp
To the perseverance of few men,
within the last few years, much of
the development of that mineral sec
ton known as the Unaweep district
is due. These men had faith and it
still continues Their faith will un-
doubtedly be rewarded in rich returns
from the prospects which they are now
working and those under develop
ment.
The Unaweep country has been
looked upon as a copper producing
section. All the ores of that district
run rich i'll copper values, but carry
ing at the same time considerable val
ueS in gold and silver. AS mining
work has been prosecuted the values
of the more precious metals have been
constantly increasing, so that now
the prop ,rties of one company espec-
inlly, are as rich almost in gold and
silver ore, as they were originally
thought to be III copper and for which
they Were originally purchased and

W. S. SCHLEY.-Washingon d. c.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
II notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clearhead,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral, Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all
