noted mining engineer, las entered

newspaper dispatch IN the form of a
rumor. and the statement that it is
correct will cause considerable sur
prise throughout the country.
Mr.. Hammond's debut in politics
and his desire for the secol d honor in
the gift of Ihe nation have a peculiar
interest for Colorado where some of
his most famous work as mining en-
gireer has teen accomplished. For a
time Mr.. Hammond made his home in
Denver and has ma lie frequent visits
to it since his departure. In mining
circles he is known FOR his report on
the Stratton independence mine afte.'

lists, by his report on the Camp Bird
mine before it was sold by Thomas F.
Walsh to the Venture company OF
London, and his work Tor the. Gug-
genheims. Until recently he was
connected with the Guggenheim in
forests as their chief mining ex-
pert. He is one of the highest sal
aried men IN his profession (said to be
the highest salaried man in the world)
and is known from one end of the
globe to the other.
Mr.. Hammond was born in San
Francisco and still calls California his
home. He is fifty-three ears old. He

gagged in that work that probably the
most interesting episode Of his life oc-
Cured. He was one ii the four leaders
in the reform movement ~ the Trans
yaal from 1855 to 1896. He was not in
sympathy with the Jameson raid, but
1bllOWlHS II he WAS dTTt>l leu anu Stu-
fenced to Leath. This sentence was
later committed to fifteen years i'm
prisonment. but he secured his re
lease by the payment of fine of $l25,-
000 He hal enough Of the Transvaal,
and as quickly as he could make the
journey, hied to London. He subse-
ohently returned to the II.,ited States.
Four years after he left college, MIR.
Hammond was appointed special ex-
pert in the United states Geological
Survey and was detailed 10 examine
the California gold fields. This was in
1880 He later became consulting
engineer for the Union lion Works
of San Francisco. and subsequently
70, the Central and Southern Pacific
railroads IN 1898 he was consulting
engineer 10: the Barnato brothers.

A. J. Dickson, Editor and Prop.
oLENwooD SPRINGS, COLORADO.
The Road to Content.

1t 10 frequently said that family
in America, although the details are
seldom given in support of the state
ment. A committee of representative
English workingmen, which visited
America not long ago, has reported
that there is practically no difference
in the price of food in the two coun-
tries, and that in some parts of Eng
land provisions are more expensive
than in New York Rent is higher
here than in Great Britain. But even
with the greater rent the American
workingman is better off, for his wages
are SO much higher than those paid on
the other side that as the committee
has reported, the American can save
two dollars as easily as the English
man so cents. The contented workman
is the one who saves SO cents or two
dollars, rather than the one who com
plains that his wages are so small that
he can save nothing. The newspapers
noted the death the other day of a
man in Scotland who had never
earned more than eight dollars week,
yet had educated two of his five chill
dren well enough for them to enter the
learned professions, and had surplus
of movable property worth $4,000.
There is in New England town, re-
1ates the Youths Companion, shoe
worker who. when he was young
man, resolved that he would save
enough out of his wages to be able to
retire and live on his interest at the
age of so. He retired at the age of 5S.
with home and a competency; yet he
never received more than SIS a week.
1t is men of this type the world over
who are the bonV and sinew of their
respective countries. In democracies
such as England and America they
control in real sense the national
policies. The cost of living does not
trouble them very much, for they have
schooled themselves to adjusting their
immediate wants to the necessity of
providing for a future when they may
rest from thier labors.

of Willow creek. forty miles east Of

lying about. The country was little

linens of petrified wood found there
in large quantities. In that vicinity
