THE FAITH THAT is IN THEM.

It may strike the lay mind as sin
gular to record that such and such
a mine will resume operations after
lying idle for ten, fifteen or as long
as twenty-five years. 1t is not pos
sible that the property has improved
since it shut down. In fact it is
pretty much as it was when work
ceased. Yet along comes party who
has faith in the mine and is willing
to invest money in proving that a
mistake was made when work ceased.
Most of the old-time mines have a
good record and there are any num-
Der of people strong in the belief that
these same properties have better
chance for returns on the investment
than in the past. Developed as they
are, the wonder is that they were
abandoned-but the greater wonder
that, after all these years of idle
ness, some one can be found to take
up the work where it was left off
years ago.
Nllplu udS d ISCoiu lOi just luio
state of affairs. And of late there
has been considerable overhauling of
old properties and work resumed. OF
course the resumption of operations
means that the new managers either
know the record of the mine or are
possessed of something possibly of
secret nature, and are willing to
run the risk, or else, believing the
former, hope to reestablish the old
record by working the mine as in the
past, believing the fissure veins of
Gilpin can be continuously worked.
81 know of a good property" said
man who was trying to enlist CAPT
tai to work a Gilpin county old-time
mine. "How do you know it is of any
etc. Those questions prove the wrong
man had been approached. In a new
camp, it is pretty nearly all blind
chance unless one has a strong out
crop. Here it is different. Certain
strong veins are known, and one only
needs begin operation on this to
prove whether much or little remains
after work ceased on them years ago.
ago. \
The one point still stands out as
remarkable in that there are parties
willing to resume work upon a prop
erty long in idleness. Can these new
investors hope to better old condi-
tions, or is it only chance-a dream
of realizing where others were not
satisfied? Economical ways may sug-
gest the reopening of properties. The
times are more favorable, better facil-
titles, in fact, many things may sug-
gest why an old-time mine may be
thought to be better than in the past
The fact remains, Gilpin county has a
goodly number of properties that may
make better records than in times
past. A number are far better than
in the old days and there are some
still to be had. A notable instance of
long -delayed good fortune, is the War
Dance, and that property is one of
some that may be profitably worked.

NEW AlRsHlP BUILT OF IRON
German Inventor Expects it to Garry
at Least Fifty Persons.

Trier. Germany March l5.--An i'm
mense air cruiser to carry from fifty
to sixty persons. and intended to
travel at from forty-four to fifty
miles an hour, is approaching compile
ton here, and will be launched early
this spring by its inventor Anton
Border, an engineer of this city. 1t
introduces an entirely new departure
in the construction Of airships, as it
is built of iron.
The new vessel is expected to
achieve even more successful results
than those of the rigid aluminium
type built by Count Zeppelin, on
which it is chiefly modelled. 1t is to
be named the Trier, after the town
where it was built.
The skeleton of the airship is
formed of rolled iron piping. The
central hollow iron shaft is 4l0 feet
in length and about 16 inches in d.
ameter. There are sixteen other side
shafts in the framework, each Of
them about 32S feet long and inches
in diameter. These are joined TO the
central shaft by latticework Of iron.
The gas is contained in twelve ring
balconies in the same manner as in
the Zeppelin craft. These balloonets
are just over q feet long by nearly
, 40 feet in diameter, and they lie end
to end along the body of the airship.
The vessel is provided with on fewer
than five motors, developing altogeth-
er $50 horse power. One of them, of
eighty horse power drives the pro-
peller, which is fitted at the bows.
The other four develop 100 horse
power each, and are utilized to put in
to movement the sixteen vertical and
eight horizontal screw planes which
steer the ship upward and downward
and to starboard and port. They al.
so control the motion of the ship for.
ward and astern.
1t is estimated that these powerful
motors will give the vessel a speed OF
at least forty-four miles an hour
when they are all working, and il is
even thought that an average of fifty
miles an hour will be attained.
The entire weight of the frame
work, motors and equipment is thirty
tons, and the enormous volumes OF
gas contained in the vessel when full
ly inflated will permit the transpor
tation of ten tons of freight or fifty tC
sixty persons.

He stopped suddenly. There seemed to
be nothing more to say. He sank back IN
his chair somberly and fixed his gaze on the
distant trees. A silence followed, a long and
bitter silence, during which hundred
thoughts banished for the day required with
all their old ugliness to CARROTS mind.
How could he have forgotten? The light
went out of the stars like the light of her eyes
which she hid from him. A damp wind was
blowing in from the east. and there was

brightness of their day was to end in storm
1t didn't seem to matter much one way or
the other; but his conscience cleared as ne
thought that for Abbys sake he had lied,
lied like gentleman.
He did not know that through the fingers
with which Natalie screened her brow she
was watching him intently; trying to read
how much of what he said was true, how
much false.
She pulled her wrap more closely about
her shoulders and leaned forward, and as the
warm glow from the lights of the drawing
room played on her face he could see that
she was smiling.

then took two or three turns up and down.

calm as her own. "Come-don't you think

For, though she protest with mighty pro-
testation and swear ten thousand Oaths to
the contrary, to be found fair after the lapse
of years, in the eyes of an oldtime swain, fills
the soul of a mere woman with satisfaction
little short of divine. And Betty was mere
woman to the core.

Phil?" she asked rather abruptly, with a
coaxing, rising infection.

her dress.

WITH different setting on the terrace
w where the coffee was served, the warm
August night promised change of temper.
1t was the drowsy hour Of poetry and sensi-
bilitv, and the hush of contentment was
over land and sea. Brooke drew their loung-
ing chairs to the edge of the steps, where
they could look down along the lawn and
drink the perfumed moisture of the soft air,
which caught hundred subtle fragrances
from thicket, bush, and garden bed as it
hoated gently up to them from the water
below. There were low hanging clouds over
the sea; but overhead stars were spread like
daisies across the wide meadows of the irma
ment, and tiny patches of clouds browsed
lazily in the heavenly pasturage. 1t was on
such night as this that they had met here
before, and the memory of it came to them
both in the same moment. Each seemed to
know what the other was thinking.
"Are you sorry?" she asked.
He looked up at her quickly. God knows

"Sh!" softly. II do"
He would have said more; but she would
not let him speak.
Have you had happy day?" she in
quired.
There's hardly need to answer that" he
murmured. II suppose if told you how
happy you wouldn't believe me-"
She noticed the odd note in his voice, and,
while she did not find it unpleasant, it
warned her of the danger of the night.
"It's pity you couldn't have Abby" she
said mischievously.
His look of reproach was almost pitiful.

quiet, and she could not disregard the quiet
note of command. 1--we wanted to write

Heroic Act Saved Lives of Hundreds

Pittsburg, Pa, July 6.-Beating
his way through a wall of smoke and
fame, w. A. Weaver today prevented
the explosion of two immense benzine
tanks, near which wer 10000 bar
rels Of crude coal oil. Weaver, who
is superintendent Of the Atlantic Re-
fning plant, saved the lives Of hum
dreds of persons, almost sacrificing
his own. A still, connected by pipe
with the tanks, caught fire. The
flames spread rapidly. Weaver, see
ing that an explosion would result if
cock in the pipe were not turned
off, rushed through the blaze, with
his clothes afire and turned the
lever.
A crowd of nearly 5000 persons
saw his disappear in the smoke, and
singed, blackened and all but suffo-
Gated, reappear after he had saved
the plant. AS he staggered to safe
ty, Weaver was madly cheered.
