SUCH A CHANCE
RARELY OFFERED

Our property, seven full claims. Is
located in the Sinbab valley, in the
foot hills of the La Sale mountains
in the extreme southwest corner OF
Mesa county, colorado. The strike
extends northwest by southeast, is in
the carbonacious shales, blue lime
being the country rock. with quartz
tiles and eruptlve porphery between
walls. The deposit is mostly an
aqueous capitalization, consisting of
sulphates, oxides and carbonates in
contact or separated with blue lime.
The vein varies from to ! 8 feet in
width and extends the length of the
entire property Assays run from
10 per cent copper and 10 ounces in
silver to so per cent copper and 200
so in gold, and fine Indication of
uranium, with an average run in eX-
cess of 10 per cent copper and GO
ounces of silver. We have prospect
ed said property the entire length,
having spent many thousands of dol
lars, and find that the vein contin-
ues to hold its value and increases in
wealth as II goes down. A fine vein
of carbonate of iron, within our own
lines, parallels it below and an ex-
cellent measure of lime above. These
are the oily fluXes needed to reduce
this ore. Plenty of water power
near at hand and an abundance of
fuel. The only impediment to the
successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary machinery.
One-thlrd of all the stock was
placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means 10

only small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that as soon
as we have transportation facilities

We will be glad to have our property

statements. But don't neglect to
come in and reap with us, as there
are thousands of tons of high grade

1t is not true that woman lacks creative
genius. In fact, the inventive talent IS

such an obscure and inaccessible place that
she has to carry her handkerchief, chamois
skin, powder-rag. hand mirror and car-rare

But despite all this. there Is strong evil
dence OF woman's inventiveness, ingenuity
and originality. Many Juvenile persons
know the originality which woman has dis
played in diverting the slipper and the
hair-brush from the uses contemplated by
their designers Many husbands can. and
perhaps will, testify that woman has trans
formed such peaceful implements as fiat
irons, stove-lifters, rolling-pins and brooms
into the cruel instruments of war. Fair
woman has led many a bayonet charge
with hat-pin.
In the creation Of appearances some wo-
men have peerless creative genius. Some
women can make q four-dollar-a-week sal

who will make fve-thousand-dollar in
come look like thirty cents.
But on the subject of womans inventive
talent, here follows news paragraph from
New York which tells how she turned a
pair of curling tongs into a brace of shoot
ing irons:

Yerkes and Tainted Money.

VIII the requests of the late Charles T.

The Rockefeller episode it will be remem-

the other side were those who held that

best afford to accept and use money of that
description. The argument was that ad-

MI Rockefeller's money was accepted and
IS now doing duty in the field of foreign
missions The Bibles circulation in heather

Mr.. Yerkes was not trust magnate, as
Mr.. Rockefeller Is. But his character was
bad and his business methods were hard,
and in some cases questionable. Men feared

him through this feeling, but none respected

is this not the age of domestic partnership?
Are not women the equals of men In all re-
spects? Indeed. the business affairs of

wives. Some men even turn over all their
salary 10 their helpmeets. Many a woman
makes the bank deposits and draws the
checks. And some men gracious enough
to confess that they owe all their savings

The New Jersey landlord forgets or
ignores the fact that it is the woman who
really lives In the house. The man merely
sojourns there. He is at his work during
at least eight hours of each day, and she
is, or is supposed 10 be, at home most of
that time. What does a man know about
the convenience of closets? 1t is a
common saying of wives that their hus-
bands would rent houses or flats that are
absolutely lacking in these convenient
tuck-away places. so blind are they to the
details of domestic administration. And as
