Activity at Leadville.

Eighty thousand tons of ore were
hoisted and shipped from this district
last month, says a Leadville dispatch.
Augusts shipments from present out
look will aggregate 10000 tons, ton
mage almost equal to the combined
tonnage of all the metalliferous mining
districts of the state.
The Midas Mining Company, operat-
ing a great acreage in the downtown
district, is at present shipping of oxi-
died ores trainload day. Their ter
ritory extends by continuous connec-
lions from Second to Tenth streets,
under the city, in the upper levels, and
from Fourth to Tenth on the 900-foot
level, down in the Cambrian quartzits
or second contact. An immense pump
ing plant, capable of handling 1000
gallons of water minute, is daily dis
charging the flow of 1,70O gallons a
minute.
Old Carbonate hill is booming The
Little Nell is running in high grade ore.
The Excelsior, Big Chief and Castle
view ore running into many thousands
of tons monthly.
In the Tennessee district, which re-
Gently has been receiving SO much at
tention, and which, as development
progresses, shows improvements ev-
erywnere. George Brooks, who is driv-
ing tunnel above the railroad track.
near Chalk ranch, has uncovered a
vein Of nearly is inches of pay ore
This region has attracted attention for
several years, because of the rich float
found throughout it, and the phenome-
nal coarseness of the placer gold
yielded by the gulches. 1t seems al
most certain that a string of gold
mine will eventually be uncovered
here.
A new road is being built upon the
ground recently purchased by Thomas
F. Walsh of Denver, Goodwin and Ben
son, above the mammoth shaft, i'll Big
Evans gluch. The road makes to Iowa
gulch at Evansville, and also near tho
Pawnolas, and indicates that the big
shaft which these people contemplate
sinking on the Roy claims recently
purchased by them, will be sunk near
the crest of the hill.

DEATH OF JUDGE MILLER.
Colorado Pioneer and Veteran Of tho
Mexican War.

Denver.-George Ware Miller, who
was largely instrumental in having the
capitol removed from Golden to Den
yer, and who was most important
factor in the making of early Colo
RADIO history as politician and law
yer, died Monday afternoon at his
home, 2235 Curtis street. His death
was caused by pneumonia which can
be directly traced back to cold taken
one evening last week when shower
caused a sudden falling of the ther-
mometer.
Judge Millers lifetime was a busy
one. He was born in Cooper county,
near Bonneville, Missouri. His father
was Missouri jurist of note and a di-
rect descendant of a captain in the
Revolutionary War. He dropped out
of school to become a member, at the
age of fourteen, of the command of
Colonel Doniphan in the war with
Mexico.
After the capture by General Kear-
ney of Santa Fe, young Miller joined
in an expedition to Taos to suppress
the Indo-Mexican revolution, in which
Governor Charles Bent was assassin
ated. The lad was wounded in the
first charge.
In 1S4S he went back to Missouri,
later being graduated from Chapel Hill
College and the University of Missouri
at Columbia. He left Columbia, going
to Kansas and later coming to Colo
RADIO, where he married Mrs. Ar
buckle, a widow. The first Mrs. Mil
Ter died twenty years ago, and year
later Judge Miller went back to the
little Missouri college town, sought out
the sweetheart of his schoolboy days,
who had never married, and brought
her back to Colorado as his wife.
From the early days of his youth
Judge Miller took an active interest
in politics. He was always ready for
a debate and was valedictorian of his
class at the Missouri State University
He taught school for two years imme-
diately after, and then was admitted
to the Missouri bar, in 1856, in Colum-
bia. Later In the same year he went
to Paola, Kansas, where he took an
important part in politics, always
Democratic, and where he was elected
county judge. Incidentally Judge
Miller held the distinction of having
served as a county judge in three
states-Missouri, Kansas and Colo
RADIO.
The coming of the Civil War broke
up his law business in Kansas and in
1864 he made one of party that
crossed the plains in prairie
schooner, coming to Denver. He
formed law partnership with V. D..
Markham, law firm which in the
early days enjoyed numerous big
cases. Judge Miller could not keep
out of politics. He served in the lower
house of the Territorial Legislature
from 1867 to 1870, inclusive, two
terms; in the latter year he was de-
feated for Congress by Jerome B. Chat
fee, Republican. He served as chair
man of the state central Democratic
committee in 1875 and 1876. In 1876
ne was defeated for the supreme
bench. In 1886 he began two terms as
county judge of Arapahoe county.

A. ). Dickson, Editor and Prop.
GLENwooD SPRINGS, COLORADO.
The Evil of Easy Credit.

That people of moderate resources
are much given to living beyond their
means in the effort to keep up with
their richer contemporaries is fact
long established. The Massachusetts
bureau of labor statistics arrives at
this old conclusion by new route.
In SO doing, 1t sugges = that to the
extensive employment of credit and
the installment system moral as well
as economic unwisdom may attach.
The bureau has gathered figures to
show The uncollectible Indebtedness
OF the people of the state. They are
very large figures. A disregard is In
evidence, amazing in the aggregate
OF its results, of the claims of butch
ers, grocers and other small trades
men. 1t is implied in the report that
to the spreading of the installment
business to an extreme much of this
evil is traceable. Credit has become
80 easy that the responsibilities of
against traders, too, who merely keep
books an immense advantage for col
lections rests with dealers who hold
contracts with forfeiture of goods as
one OF the penalties of missing regu-
lar payments. The argument is not
against the installment principle
More often than not the system of
part payments is a great help. 1t is
a Snecial DrOvidaDca fo MANY yOung
people starting at housekeeping. 1t
has assisted in the building Of count
less homes. These accomplishments
Justify its maintenance. But, re-
marks the New York Press, that the
system is abused there can be no dis
pute. Extravaganza loses its warn
ing face when 1t is represented by a
small sum per week or per month, in
stead of a large sum cash down.

Profits in Mining.

According to some recent mining sta
tistics thirty companies which are op-
Grating in the metalliferous field of
the United States declared dividends
amounting to nearly ten and half mil
lion dollars in July. This brings the
grand total of these companies up to
nearly twenty-nine million dollars for
the year. 1t should be remembered,
however, that these dividends do not
represent all the profits in the mining
of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
There are hundreds of concerns which
do not make public their profits, they
being close corporations.
One of the really important features
in connection with the mining indus
try and it's substantial character is the
fact that the metals are all steadily
advancing. Speiter, copper and lead
are now coming into more general use
than ever before The old world sup
plies are gradually playing out, and
1t is necessary to look to this country
for the future.
Copper, in particular, shows a very
strong tendency, which is evidenced by
the demand for shares in gold compa-
MES. Lead is higher than it has been
In many years. and the advance Is per-
manent, and due to the inherent mar
ket strength.
The stability Of the metals market
we regard as one Of the most signifi-
cant signs of prosperity for the min
ing industry. It is safe foundation on
which to build.-Leadville Herald Dem.

With the promise this year of one
OF the largest grain crops the country
has ever known there is room for in.
terest in the reports from other 10.
calties. fair yield is predicted in
most of the wheat-growing regions of
Europe, but as the output is never
large enough for old-world consump.
tion 1t is clear that the prospect is
good for heavy importations as usu-
al, and the United States will be the
main source of supply. This is the
general situation. and 1t should help
to promote stability here. for big
grain crops and large exports of
breadstuffs are among the influences
that guarantee prosperity.

A wire rope tramway is to be con-

the Syndicate at Dumont to the Bos-
ton-Dumont mill. The big vein has
an abundance of oxidized material
which is amenable to the cyanide pro-
cess. The claim is made that 81 ore
can be made to yield profit, as the
saving of gold averages ninety per

The predictions on the wheat crop
Of 1906 range from 700 00O0, 900 to 74O,-
10000 bushels. These are based on
acreage and on condition at the pres.
ent time. when a large part Of the
crop is harvested. In 1901 the crop
was 74S,OOO.0O0 bushels. This is the
only time that wheat has passed the
200. .o00. 900 mark. The yield for 1906
is certain to be next to the largest
ever gathered. As corn gives prom.
ise to break all records in magnitude,
the American farmer continues to be
IN clover.

DANGEROUS Anti-Fat Treatment.

Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope
of reducing flesh may take warning
from the fate of Annie Gross, a 25-
year-old st. Louis woman. She was
STOUT" and had been dieting to re-
duce her flesh. She ate no meat or
heavy food and neighbors gave the
Information that she had made
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen sour pickles day and
drinking from half a pint to a pint
of vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had left party of her
friends to get drink of water. At
the autopsy physicians found the in
ner walls of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause of
death was given as "hemorrhage of
the stomach and acetic poisoning"
due to pickles and vinegar. 1t is
easy, says the Chicago Sun, to see
how such results would naturally
come more quickly to stomach that
was deprived of other classes of food.
A similar condition has often been
found in the stomach of men who
were small eaters and habitual drink
ers of large quantities of hard cider.
The stomach is not proper recepta-
Gle into which to pour quantities of
strong acid.

Last week Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt
Travelled through Connecticut in a
motor car. Nothing strange about
that; an automobile excursion is with
out significance; but it happens the
lady on this particular car was a cen
tenarian. A very jolly one she must
be. for she has gone five years above
par, and yet says the motor is her fa-
yorite vehicle. But Mrs. Hunt is the
new woman" the very newest wom-
an, in fact. when at the age of 1O5
she enjoys life as though she were
only so. And who shall say this new
note of the day, the woman of 105, is
not to be the answer to DR.. Osler's
theory? One who doesn't weary of life
will subscribe to it, but for the woman
incapable of perennial youth the out
look would be boresome in the ex-
treme. Mrs. Hunt. however. is a liv-
ing example of the nervousness of
age.
