to coast and from border to border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to. already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81 .000, 900. and probably more,
for new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least $1,OO0,0OO for an i'm.
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual

pressed that the influence of the mail
ization of wealth, and how enormous
part 1t is playing in this direction
will be understood from second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
1t is due to himself that every patron
of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be II the mail order bust
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress during the last half decade.
1t is useless to repeat the well worn
argument Of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants in
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy Of this
statement has been proved over and
over again by actual and minute COM

Rich Men Work for PLEASURE.

United States government, receiving
one dollar month for his services. He
is a rich man on whom many univer-
stiles have conferred titles and de-
grees. DR.. Harrison G. Dyer, another

Such general prosperity as may exist

communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
of smaller communities.
The need Of the country, desper-
ate need upon which the welfare of
the individual depends, is for the
upbuilding and continued progress Of
the smaller communities, so that the
wealth of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled in large
amounts in comparative few centers
Of population.
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per.
mitted fair profit to the hope mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.

which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo.
pie of the smaller towns and the agri.
cultural districts. In hundreds OF
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man on the farm last year sent a
very large portion of eighty millions

Idaho Springs Mining District.

The work of the Geological Survey
of late in examining some old, but,
from a Geological Survey standpoint,
hitherto much neglected district OF
Colorado, is one that will be highly
appreciated by Coloradans, says the
Mining Reporter. For some unknown
reason Gilpin and Clear Creek coun-
ties and their mines have for years
had but scant notice by the Survey.
At last we have before us an author
itative report on the Idaho Springs
district by Messrs. Spur and Carey.
The rocks of this district are schists
and gneisses, with basic igneous rocks
such as hornblendites, diorites, gran
ties and pegmatites. All these are
cut by later intrusive bodies of por-
phyry. The porphyry. however. is
earlier than the veins which often pass
from granite into and through por-
phyry like and continue into granite
or gneiss on the other side.
The first discovery of gold in Clear
Creek county and in Colorado was by
George Jackson, about April /, 1859,
on Chicago creek. BY the end OF
March they produced considerable
gold, and 300 men were employed be-
tween 1859 and 1868.
The placer deposits of Clear Creek
county are:
River-bar placers.
Stream placers.
Bench placers.
The river-bars are on gravel flats
adjacent to the bed OF the stream
Stream deposits are deposits of boul-
ders. gravel and sand filling the beds
of the stream. The bench placers are
ancient stream deposits at present rep
resented by remnanats of old stream
terraces at considerable height above
the level Of the present watercourses.
There are three lines of terraces, the
lowest about twenty-five feet: the pres.
ent stream level is of glacial material
worked over and transported to its
present position by streams subse.
quent to the period of glaciation.
The second gravel terrace, pre-gla.
cial in origin, is fifty-five feet above
the creek. The third is $50 feet, and
consists of indurated river gravels OF
late Tertiary Of early Pleistocene age.
jackson struck gold beneath a large
willow tree on the road north of Chi
cago creek. Much of this material, as
well as that OF Spanish Bar below the
Stanley mine, was sluiced at a profit
in early days.
A terrace covered by the Doherty
placer formed by the union of Soda
and Clear creeks is on a bed rock
bench of porphyry; the bedding OF the
gravels dips at an angle towards Clear
creek. Good values were found on bed
rock. On the east side of Soda creek
are the hot springs which have depos.

he AFFORD to continue to impoverish
his own community, upon which his
own prosperity, the very value of his
lanr depends?
If he will ask himself this question
and consider 1t soberly and fairly in
all of its phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of single article, we think
his answer must be that he cannot.

Gossip of the Doings
of Railroad Men

The reports of the train agents of
the Southern Pacific on colonist immi-
grafton show an increase of 40 per
cent over the same time last year. The
rate went into effect on the first of
the month, and by Friday. according
on their way to the State. Last year
the largest number to pass through
any one of the .gateways was 500 This
year for three successive days 500
passed through Ogden, and on one day
the number reached S91.
The figures are as follows: Ogden
4017: Los Angeles "A; FL Paso, 2044,
and Portland. 24S. Total ssss.
The Southern Pacific has given
Chairman r. II. Countiss of the Freight
Transcontinetal Bureau instructions as
to fiat rate of sS10.50 on baggage. ex-
press and mail cars from Chicago and
common points. On chair. dining, par
lor and sleeping cars S377.50 and on
combination baggage and passenger
car (day coach) the rate is $35O.5O.
All of these rates are regardless OF the
length of the car and apply only on
equipment on it's own wheels. This is
intended to- rectify any possible error
on figuring the rates under the West
ern classification At present the rates
are made on mileage basis and some
times such figuring is subject to the
conscience of the employe naming the
rate.
Preliminary surveys have been made
by the Western Pacific for high
grade line over the divide at Niles
Canyon pending the completion of the
low-grade line through the tunnel. as
the road between Oakland and Stock
ton will be ready for operation before
the tunnel is built. This may be done
also at the Beckwith tunnel, which
pierces the summit of the Sierra. and in
one or two places In Nevada where
there are long tunnels in the mountain
ranges. The longest tunnel on the line
of the Western Pacific will be at
Spring Garden, which is a little over
1000 feet in length. This tunnel is to
be bored through the divide between
the North Fork and the Middle Fork
of Feather River. On account of the
topography Of the country 1t will not
be possible ito build temporary line
over the mountain. so the track will
not be connected until the tunnel is
completed. Work is being pushed
ahead. and the tunnel, 1t is said, will
be finished in about twelve months.
The Southern Pacific is beginning to
receive the first of its parlor cars,
which were ordered several months
ago. One of these has already been
put into commission and is on the fast
train to Los Angeles. Others are on
their way from New Orleans.

MY MOTHERS SONG

'I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence
gives.
Ny mother often sung
In soothing numbers soft and mild
To me, when / a fretful child
Unto her bosom clung
I could not know the sense of pain
That mingled with the sweet refrain,
Her gentle spirit wrung.
/ could not know the weight of care
With which she breathed for me the
prayer
That trembled on her tongue.
That love-wrought cadence to my ears
Comes floating down the stream of
years
In tones that seem divine.
Ny soul is lulled to calm repose
AS when of yore at daylights close,
She laid her face to mine.
And now beyond the mystic veil
Angelic voices never fail
That song Of love to swell,
The heavenly chorus greets her ears
In praise of Him whom through long
years
She loved and served so well.
