Howell Kinds and L. p. Price of

interested.

shortly start work with force of

this season. The report comes from
Ouray via the Plaindealer. which pre-.
diets great activity in that section in
the future. In fact the entire country
from Animas Forks to poughkeepsie

Old Lout was located in 1876 and dur.
Ing the life of its operations was an
important factor in the output of the
county. In 1856 it was sold TO an Eng.
lish company for s20O.000 and the
mine has shipped about $4,000
worth of ore. The main portion of
this ore was taken from the upper
workings of the mine. The English
company drove a tunnel / 800 feet In
length to cut the vein at a lower
depth, hut failed to find the vein
This feature can not, however, be con.
sidered detrimental TO the mine, as |
the tunnel failed to reach the vein |

lie in a direct course Of the Old Lout
vein, and with the reopening of this
old property these properties will be

MARSHALL FIELD GAVE
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN


Some time ago Rev. Newell Dwight
Hills wrote to Marshall Field and
asked: what do you consider essen
tial elements of success for Young
men standing upon the threshold of
business career?" The answer was:
First let him consider his natural
bent or inclination and ascertain, If
possible. what he is best adapted for.
Second having determined, let him
pursue the work in hand with dill
gence and determination to know it
thoroughly, through close application
and mastery of details. Third. next
TO the selection of occupation Is that
of companions. To every young man
| would say, seek at the start to cul-
tivate the acquaintance of those only
whose contact and influence will kim
die high purposes, as | regard the
building up OF a sterling character one
of tne fundamental principles of true
success. Fourth, absolute self-control.
One who can not govern himself is
unfit to govern others. Fifth, econo-
my is one of the most essential ele-
ments of success. As a rule people do
not know how to save. | deem 1t of
the highest importance. therefore. to
impress upon every young man the
duty of beginning to save from the
moment he commences to earn, be 1t
ever so little. habit so formed in
early life will prove of incalculabe
benefit to 'nim in after years, not only
in the amount acquired. but through
the exercise of economy in small af-
lairs he win grow in knowledge and
fitness for larger duties that may de-
vOlve upon him.
Every young man should aim to he
manly and selfreliant; make good
use of all the spare moments; read
only wholesome books; study to adj
vance his own interests as well as
those OF his employer in every possi-
bic way. AS a rule the young man of
high principles and fair ability. who
saves his money and keeps his habits
good, becomes valuable in any con-
Germ. BY following out these sug-
gestions, however, aiming constantly
10 prepare himself for higher place
instead of waiting for something to-
turn mp, every young man will sue
ceed to more or less degree.
Il would not have them believe,
however, that success consists solely
in the acquisition of wealth. Far
from 1t, as that idea is much too prev
alent already. The haste to become
rich at the expense of character pre-.
walls to an alarming extent, and can
not he too severely denounced. What
is needed today more than anything
else is to instill in the minds of our
Young the desire above all to build up
a character that will win the respect
of all with whom they may come in
contact, and which is vastly more i'm
portant than great fortune. l quote
IRON the will of senator who died
recently the following on this ques-
ton: I hope my sons will defer to
and confide in my executors and trus-
tees, and, above all, that they may re
alize early in life that the only one
thing more difficult to build up than
an independent fortune, and more cas-
lily lost, is character :"

GREAT FORTUNES OF
THE UNITED STATES

Last summer Henry Clews the New
York banker, made some estimates of
the size of the greatest American for
tunes This list, with one or two ad
dltinnS Is nS follows.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1906-01-29

The personal fortune of George
Gould is estimated at siO,0O0.OO0. leav-
ing the rest of the estate worth S11o..
100000. The Clews figure for the for.
tune of Marshall Field is in all prob
ability underestlmated by $4,000, 600,
which would give it the fourth place
In the list instead of fifth place. The
estimate of the fortune of Senator
Clark is based largely on his income,
which has been estimated at SIS .0O0.-
900 year. Clark has enjoyed this
kingly income but a comparatively few
years, however ard while the s75.0 900
900 estimate may he much too low. II
is considered approximately correct
by men in financial circles.

M1SsrRELs NEXT TUESDAY.

Someway or other it always hap
pens that the judicious advertising
succeeds. Judicious means many
things. Some people better never
advertise. This can be said of
many shows. Some attractions
better never advertise. Managers
who are not honest, whose adver-
tisements mislead and whose shows
dissappoint, they had better let ad-
vertising alone.
The managers of Richards s.
Pringle's Famous Georgia Min
strels endeavor to advertise nothing
but what they can show. They
are in class by themselves, being
the only recognized negro min
strels that play the first class thea
tiers and cannot afford to mislead
their patrons.
Some show people are careless in
their statements. They become so
used to writing biggest" grand
est" greatest" best and worlds
largest that they can only think
in superlatives. They mean to be
honest, probably are. They are
merely careless, and failure is the
price of carelessness.
