question as to which Is correct.
Denver will perhaps run under the
present regime for some time with
everything closed but without doubt
the blind alleys going until like all
American citizens they will want a
change and then gambling will be op-
ened, Sunday saloons will start and
those who care to pull of prize fights
can return and do so.
In the meantime public sentiment is
with the governor in his attempt to
enforce the laws as he finds them.

ritory Of heretofore unexplored prop
erty has been prospected. The regu-
lar monthly output Of all the produ-
cling mines in the district has kept up
to the former average OF 10000 tons
per month. During the recent finan-
cial depression many Of the low grade
silver and zinc propositions were
forced to close down on account Of
the low price Of the metals. but with

Denver, Dec. 31.-And at last Den
YER is a closed town and the Republi-
can officials at the state house and
in the district court and the sherin's
office say they intend to keep 1t clos
ed until after the Democratic national
convention. Under the new order OF
things the Navarro across the street
from the Brown and all the other gam
bling clubs are closed and the blinds
drawn. The saloons lock both their
front and back doors at IL o'clock
and keep them locked until the next
morning. They also remain locked
over Sunday and prize fighting for the
time being is thing of the past.
In times past this same condition has
existed in Denver, but only for short
time. Those who are backing the gov
ernor in his programme say that this
time the open shop policy has gone to
stay or at least so long as Governor
Buchtel Is governor. On the other
hand the gamblers and the saloon men
say the close is only temporary.
Whether or not 1t is temporary or
permanent can only be told with the
events in the coming months. Denver
as a closed town will be novelty in
sofar as the present city administra-
ton is concerned. The Democratic Of
fcials of the city have always main
tained that an open town regulated
was better than a closed town with
blind bucket shops and blind green ta-
bles in every hotel and rOoming house
In the city.
There Is no doubt but that during
the past months Of the present city ad-
ministration Denver has been an open
regulated town. Saloons have run
night and day but there was very lit

have run and the doors swung open to

Just before the holidays. Among his
other cargo he took abroad a dozen
nne turkey gobblers. but failed to take
into consideration the amount Of food
they would consume on such q tedious
trip. Before half the distance had been
covered he discovered their food sup

whole bunch out ON the broad prairie

along the road.
For six weeks the turkeys had NO

moving oxen and were In good flesh
when Denver was reached. The exper-
Ience Rife had In protecting them from
the coyotes at night cost him many Q
nights sleep. The wolves would At

keep them at a safe distance would b.

would have to sit up and watch to see
that the flames did not spread to his
wagons. The nine turkeys out OF the
dozen that withstood the hardships OF
that Journey netted him about SIS.
A turkey shoot was arranged the day
before Christmas ana In order to make

A ROMANCE IN TIN.
One Mans Fortune From the Price Of
Pair Of Shoes.

One Mans Fortune From the Prlee Of
a Pair Of Shoes.
Some years ago q man who had
started in business in Tasmania found
that he could not meet his engage
ments and was compelled to call a
meeting Of his creditors.
Among his assets were number Of
Mount Birschoff tin mine shares,
which were regarded as worthless. 1t
was the first tin mine discovered in
Tasmania, and the output was not as
heavy as the prospectus declared 1t
would be.
The shares dropped In value, and
when the debtor offered them to his
creditors the latter refused to touch
them.
Among the creditors was q poor
shoemaker who had supplied the man
with pair Of shoes. he offered to
take the shares in payment Of his
debt. No one raised any objection,
and be took the shares, saying, aThey
may turn out well some day"
Five years later, under proper man
agement, the mine developed into a
valuable property. 1t was reritable
mountain of tin, and the shares sprang
up to an astonishing point
Eventually the metal vss "eoznered'
by French syndicate, and, the shares
reaching a fabulous price, the once
INDECENT shoemaker sold out and real
lied a fortune.
The money was wisely invested, and

them like G meteor, but made not the

The average storm wave is thirty
