Cripple Creek Gold Output.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during August amounted to
66,SS6 tons, with gross bullion value
of $1,330,774. These figures show an
increase in tonnage over the month of
July of 1924 tons. and decrease In
bullion value of $14,257. In view of
the fact that the heavy rains have in
terfered to a considerable extent with
hauling and that the allied lines have
been unable to supply the full demand
for cars. this record is considered re-
markable.
The coming month will see two more
mills of large capacity in full opera
ton. The new spur to be built to
open the northern section of the dis
trict will probably be finished this
month. The district is now shipping
it's largest daily tonnage to the valley
mills and smelters, an average of al
most seventy broad gauge cars leaving
the camp every day. The figures of
tonnage and gross bullion values as
given out by the various mills and
Smelters are as follows:

SPRINGS MEANS
MUCH wealth
coloRADo's MINERAL WATERS
RIVAL THE MOST FAMOUS
IN EUROPE.
MUST Be DEVELOPED
MAY BE MADE TO BRING IN
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOL
LARS ANNUALLY.

Denver.-Colorado will attract ESQ.,
900 tourists annually instead OF the
$4,000 people that now visit the state
when the three-score or more of min
eral springs are developed and
equipped with accommodations and at
fractions. Each visitor will remain
six to eight weeks and leave behind
500. estimating from figures compiled
In European resorts, which will leave
Colorado with $25,0OO,OO0 in added
wealth annually.
Denver being the chief commercial
center and distributing point for the
various medicinal springs resorts. will
of course reap the lions share of the
benefits.
These were some of the telling
points made by Thomas Tonge in his
paper on Colorado mineral springs,
read before the Denver real estate ex-
change at the Brown Palace hotel. He
stated that years of study proves that
Colorado has exact duplicates of the
famous springs of Europe, and that
many as yet unheard of publicly actu-
ally excel all known foreign waters.
The exchange members were SO favor.
ably impressed with the subject and
its importance to Denver that COM
mittee was appointed to agitate for a
bill asking an appropriation for thor
ough examination of the states medi-
cinal springs.
In only two places, Glenwood
Springs and Manitou, has any at
tempt been made in proper manner
to care for the tourist seeking springs
for their healing properties. In many
cases where the waters are of excel
lent curative effect. only the most
crude equipment exists, and this lack
of enterprise or lack of capital must
be remedied before there will be any
permanent flow of travel. Even should
a visitor be attracted to a place where
there is makeshift equipment, his
stay is shortened and he never goes
a second time.
Mr.. Tonge gave figures to show that
some places of only a few hundred in
habitants in Europe attracted 10000
to $4,000 tourists to their springs be-
cause of their natural beauty, in con-
nection with their healing waters.
The little town of Apollinaris in
Prussia exports 100000 bottles Of
water annually. Mr.. Tonge said Colo
RADIO had practical duplicate spring.
Vichy in France attracts 10000 people
annually. Canon City, Colorado. has
a similar spring and might well de-
velop similar fame. Colorado is known
to have almost exact duplicates of the
famous waters of Aixles-Bai in
Savoy. of Cauterets in the Pyrenees
and of Wiesbaden, Germany.
Mr. Tonge argued that combina-
tion of nature and art in the makeup
of Colorado springs resorts. taken to-
gether with advantages to health OF
almost perpetual sunshine, that this
state Is better equipped than any Eu-
ropean resort district, to draw on the
world for an almost unlimited supply
of tourists.
The committee to undertake the
work of securing the cooperation of
the state for the development Of the
springs follows: Thomas Tonge, chair
man; John McDonough, G. E. Want
land, Alfred Kerns and c. A. johnson.

Union Sunday School Picnic.

On last Thursday, 23d instant,
most enjoyable occasion was had in
the grove near the residence OF John
w. Abbott, short way above Wal
halla. The Sunday schools OF Zion
Methodist and Rocky Knoll Baptist
churches met to spend the day in
social ging. games
and general recreation. These schools
have an average attendance Of about
forty each. F.. w. Harbort is the
superintendent OF Zion, and John W.
Abbott the superintendent OF Rocky
Knoll school. The morning exercises
of the day began with song, after
which Rev. Rhett Doyle read a scrip
ture lesson and offered prayer. Ad-
dresses on Sunday school work were
made by C.. r. ID. Burns and w. w.
Moss. At the conclusion Of these adj
dresses those present repaired to the
grove, where a table was most boun-
tifully laden with the most substan-
tial and dainty eatables that it has
been our good fortune to partake Of
anywhere.
The afternoon was spent in sing
ing and in playing base ball. Every
one expressed delight at being pres
ent, and trusting that these occa-
sions will come oftener in the future.
The children enjoyed the picnic and
will more gladly engage in the Suit
day school work by reason OF the de-
liShtful social gatherings -
