CONVENTION DATE SET.
Democrats Of the State Will Name
Candidates In September.

DENVER, COLO. July 5.-There
are those who believe that the politi-
cal atmosphere in and around the
state capital has been somewhat
murky for months, the clouds even
overhanging the Democratic camp,
Whether or not the supposition was
correct in case of the party in power
need not be now discussed. However.
If such were the case. there has been
remarkable clearing during the past
week, and from present indications
there are only sunny days ahead.
Some criticised the wisdom Of
State Chairman Chas. B. Ward in is
suing a call for members of the leg
islature to meet him in friendly and
unofficial conference, to the end that
some course might be decided upon
for the good of the party and the
people it serves. 1t was indeed a
bold stroke, but the outcome has de-
monstrated it statesmanlike and
fruitful action. Many legislators who
came to the meeting under protest
or from curiosity, firm in the belief
that no good could come from it.,
went away giving the chairman cred
it for a masterstroke that removes
all doubt Of Democratic success next
November.
OF the seventy members Of the two
houses, fifty-eight appeared in res
ponse to the call. A number sent
letters regretting their inability to
attend because Of pressing business
matters, but containing the assurance
that they were willing to abide by the
majority decision. Only one man re.
mained away because he couldn't
see that such a gathering would be
able to accomplish satisfactory re-
suits. but very likely he has now
changed his mind. One Of the health.

TWO NEW SHAFT HOUSES.
AshtabuIa and British Properties
Now Ready for Work.

| Almond Thompson has finished two
shafthouses in the past week, one on
the Ashtabula and one on the Brit
tish. The Ashtabula lies south of
the Prize mine in the Nevada district
and has strong vein of good values.
At one point the vein is 30 feet
wide and well impregnated with cop
per iron. The depth of the shaft is
not known as no knowledge pertain
ing thereto is available, but it is be-
tween $50 and 500 feet. There is a
fine showing where the Newhouse
cuts it and it is a forgeone conclu-
sion that it will prove a bonanza for
the company, Messrs. Willis and Boil
singer. The equipment consists of a
shaft house 20x50 feet, with large
boiler and a 40 h. p. engine; every
thing necessary for the practical de-
velopment of the mine. The manage
ment are men of experience and are
proceeding with judgment and we can
look for large results.
The British is situated near Lake
View in the Excelsior gulch. The
mine has been a good producer in
tne past and is showing up very en-
couragingly with the work already
done by the company. S. A. Rank
has charge of the developments and
with man Of his ability and judg
rnent the stockholders may look for
dividends in the near future. They
have a 2Ox40 shaft house with a prac-
teal steam plant to prosecute de-
velopments.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is an average man;
Not built on any peculiar plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full of pluck.
When asked a question he does not guess,
He knows and answers mo OF yes;
When set task that the rest can't do,
He buckles down until he's put it through.
Three things he IS learned that the who tries.
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays to know more than one thing WELL
That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell
So he works and waits till one fine day
There's better job with bigger pay,
And the men who shrked whenever they could
Are bossed by the man whose work made good.
For the man who wins is the man who works.
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks,
Who uses his hands, bis head, his eyes;
The man who wips is the man who tries.

the most profitable and highly de-
ycloped irrigation farming In this
country owes its existence and pros

Where crop production is depend
ent on rainfall and particularly whe
the rainfall is barely sufficient, farm
ers soon learn the value of careful
and thorough tillage both in pre-
pairing the land for crop and later
whenever inter-tillage is possible.
But the irrigation farmer with an
adequate water supply is slow to
appreciate the fact that thorough
tillsge methods abundantly repay
thelr cost.
In our new regions particularly
the tendency to neglect tillage is
pronounced Weeds are usually not
abundant. and one of the most OBJ

The fact remains. however, that
in irrigation farming good tillage
pays whether the water supply is
abundant or scanty.
Excessive irrigation teaches the
