STATEMENT OF ROBERT oUGoEN-
HEM, NEPHEW OF THE
SENATOR.

Denvcr.-Robert Guggenheim. OF tho
Denver for few days. says the re-
publican OF Friday. He has been in
spccting the smelters OF the company
In Utah and other western states ana
is now en- route East. He Is a son OF
Daniel GugHenhclm and nephew OF
United States Senator Simon GugScn-
helm.
"Thcrc Is no truth whatever In tho
report that has been sent abroad that
the Gusscnheim interests have gone
Into the control of Rockefeller" hS
stated positively. There was no 90
casion for such a rumor. and IT, is en-
,Irciy without foundation. We expect
to 20 on with tho smelling business
ns before. Harry Gugscnhcim. my
brother. is now In Mexico learning tho
business, ard u cousin named Edmund
is making n study OF smci,ins at Salt
Lake City"
There had been report to the cf-
feet that the Grant and Omaha smell

order To lake care DI ore hHtptNu ih
from Utah points and throughout Colo
rado. After comforting with Frnnklin
Guitcrmnn here yesterday. Robert GuT-
gcnhcim said this was scarcely prob
able at present. although there IN
possibility that II will be- done later.
Many OF tho big copper mines oP-
Grated In Utah are to be rcopcncd soon.
and these will be handled at the Gar
field smelling plant. This will crowd
tho capacity Of the plant TO a great
extent. but MIR. GuErcnhcim gives II
ns his belief that the Garfield plant
will be able to handle the orc.
IF tho Garfield plant should not
prove Of sufficient capacity To handle
all tho orc sent Il. We might either
enlarge that plant or open the aincl.
tcrs In Denver" he stated. The smel.
icrs here have been out Of operation
for some time. but have not been en-.
tirciy dismnnticd.'
The Utah Consolidated Copper Com.
pany will begin shipping It's ores tho
middle Of this month. and Just what
its output will be cannot be stated nt
present. The Garfield plant iH expected
to develop n capacity Of 5000 tons per
day. and II In ultimately expected To
produce nm output OF lO0. 100000 pounds
OF copper per year. Copper can bo
produced there very chcaply. Mt "A cost
OF about s cents "a pound.

who were buried in . snowslide late
last night at the Lewis property. In
Bridal Veil basin. eight miles from
Telluride. arc believed to be dead.
A rescuing party started for there to-

The slido which came down last night
struck the hoist house. tearing most
Of II away.
Two other Greeks were working In
the hoist house ut the time and were
carried with the slide part way down
the mountain. They were SO frightened
that they made no effort to got back
to the hoist house or find their com.
panions. but kept on through tho storm
and deep snow and reached Telluride
this morning In an exhausted condi'
ton. much frightened by their terrible
experience.
From their report II In believed that
their companions were caught In the
building and buried alive. There Ia
little probability that they will be
found alive, unless the woodwork Of
the hoist house has held the snow

bodies and saved them from smother

Boy Originated Safety Pin.

THE originator Of the safety-pin," "
said an historian of inventions, was
little boy, an English blacksmith's
son.
The little boy-Harrison by name
had to look after his baby brother.
The baby often cried, and its tears
were usually to be traced to pin pune
lures. The boy nurse tried a long
time to bend pins into such a form
that they could be used with safety to
his brothers flesh.
In this he failed; but his father,
the blacksmith. perceived the utility
Of the idea the lad had been at work
on, took 1t up on his own account, and
eventually turned out the safety.pin
tnat is in use to-day all over tho
world"

GENTLE VOICE A GREAT CHARM.
Ono Of the Most Powerful Attractions
In q Woman.


Very few women realize what an
effect a sweet voice has on man.
A woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch'
ingly attired and attractive In every
way. and yet directly she opens her
mouth and speaks the spell is broken,
the charm 10 gone. And this need
never be.
Very few voices are so naturally
bad that they will not succumo TO
training, and the voice can be trained
to be Just as sweet and gentle - one
pleases to make 1t.
A woman should speak In low
voice. She should not allow ner
voice to raise itself to . high pitcn'
A shrill-voiced woman is terrible
She should not shout her orders to
the servants down the stairs. nor call
to any one who may be in another
part of the house. This shouting and
raising Of the voice spoils the tone
and quality OF the voice and tends to
make it harsh A pretty voice Is
powerful attraction In q woman and
she who would add to her charms
wondrous fascination should cultivate
. voice ever soft, gentle and low.

THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE" "

THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE"
Choir of America have made mis-
take in trying to fit new words tc
"Dixie."
They say the words are awkward" ="
Maybe. But
The words of the old thrilling song
are forever welded to the tune. The
marriage is complete. What tradition
and reverent memory have joined LEI
not man or woman put asunder
The divorcement of words and music
that have lived long together ought to
be forbidden.
With the best intention doubtless the
historic, homely words about CHINA
mon seed and sandy bottom have
been changed by these women. who
have substituted the lines:
Oh. Dixie land is the land Of glory.
The land of cherished song and story.
The substituted words are good
enough in their way, but it is safe to
declare they will never permanently
be fitted to the old tune. They lack the
native favor of the old words
There is lot of go" in the old
words as there is in the old music OF
"Dixie'
The song is almost as popular in the
north as in the south. II you want to
wake up any listless audience any
where in America. start the orchestra
to playing Dixie" No other song will
brfr,
with beating hearts and flushed faces
like the old song
Let "Dixie" alone.
Lips that are long since dust have
shouted those ''awkward" words They
are embalmed in sacred recollections.
To change them would amount to an
insult to the dead.
This itch to change the words of our
national songs breaks out every so
often. Not long ago an attempt was
made to substitute new words for
"The Star Spangled Banner" 1t failed.
and deserved to fail, because the old
words OF the song are fighting words
the words that famed up hot and pa
triotic from the swelling heart of
Francis Scott Key.
To change the verses of any great
national song is to do violence to his
toric sentiment
The choppy. staccatO syllables of the
"Marseillaise," dashed of in the fervor
OF revolution. forever belong to the
wild, weird music. The stanZas that
go with the slow cadences Of The
Watch on the Rhine will ever be dear
to every lover Of the fatherland.
Let Dixie" alone. Because
You cannot change its body without
harming its immortal soul.
