stony stare and marble heart. They
may get the lift all right. but not
the kind they are looking for. We've
never yet extended help to any of
the outfit but that we got the worst

with him. While it was contrary to
professional custom, law aad eti-

Ouray Plaindealer. The outlook
for mining in Ouray county for 1905
is much better than it has been for
a number of years past, and in talk
ing with men who have returned
from the east. it is learned that the
San Juan country in general will re
ceive deep consideration from the in
vesting public. The output of our
county will certainly be materially
increased during this year for the
reason that a great many of the old
producers. which have been lying
idle for the past two to four years.
will again become active.

Glenwood Post: Among the other
good things proposed for Glenwood
Springs, one that should have the
earnest attention of our people is
ns hhatchery. AZ present there
is no fish hatchery at all accessible
to Glenwood, although the great
home of the trout and their natural
spawning places are situate within
easy and accessible distance from
Glenwood, while as distributing
point Glenwood is much better sit
uated than any of the present hatch
cries of the state.

Mancos Times: Last week Messrs
Keen and shcel, brought in from
Utah some very interesting relics of
the prehistoric race known as Gin
Jewellers. They are sandals half
dozen pairs in all and correspond
to an era of the world S civilization
long since gone by. The sandals are
made of what appears to be willow
splits woven together after very
crude yet somewhat artistic fashion
The cords for fastening them to the
feet are made of soap weed and much
resembles grass rope. They wer"
found in a cave on Yellow Jallet can
on some thirty feet below the sur
face, and are in as perfect a state
of preservation as though they haa
been made only a few years instead
Of centuries. Yellow Jacket canon
is in the region of the ancient Cnh
ruins, and al the place where the
relics were found were also found
skull and other parts of the human
skeleton. The sandals are now on
exhibition in the window of the
George Bauer Bank 1t is thought
that nothing quite like them has
ever been found
