GRAPHITE MADE FROM COAL.

Graphite. the commonest use OF
which is seen In the lead" pencil,
is almost pure carbon. This mineral
is therefore only step removed
from coal and in fact some OF the
natural graphite deposits are found
in coal beds whe~e the intrusion Of
masses Of intensely heated liluofied
igneous rock has metamorphosed the
coal. thus forming graphite. An ex-
ample of this natural manufacture OF
graphite cut of coal is described in
one OF the reports Of the United
States Geological Survey on the
Ration coal field of New Mexico. On
the other hand. largo quantities Of
high-grade graphite are artificially
manufactured direct from ordinary
coal.
In making lead pencils the graphite
is mixed with n clay OF fine grain
and the greater the proportion OF the
clay constituent the harder the pen
Gil Exceedingly soft Pencils with
large lead contain but little clay.

AN ENvIAslE RECORD.
Saasr-McShane Mere. Company in

One would have TO go back in the
history of the commercial activity in
this state fifty years to find a groc-
cry store of our long and prosperous

must be passed before we have round
ed out an even half century. Isn't
this 2 record Of which any firm can
feel justly proud? And isn't it alto
gether fitting and proper that at
this most glorious time of the year
We should express publicly our ap-
probation and gratitude to our large
list of customers throughout Gilpin
comfy whose generous patronage dur.
ing this long period of time has made
it possible for our store tc grow and
prosper? Our absolutely square and
straightforward dealings with the
public has brought about this pleas
ing condition. We have always carri-
ed the very best of everything to
be found in high-class grocery,
shown every courtesy and consider
alton to Our customers, and can't
help but feel that the extensive bus
iness We have built up is well merit
ed. We wish the good people of Gil

GOOD MAN FOR PRESIDENT.

A recent editorial in the New York
Times reads in pars as follows:
The study OF Gov. Judson Harmon
which the Times has submitted to
its readers throws a good deal OF
light not only on his interesting per
sonality. but on the conditions of po
litical life for the past decade. Here
is a citizen OF marked ability, who
stands high in his profession of law,
who has served with credit as head
OF the department of justice in the
national government at time OF es-
pecial stress, who comes rather rapid.
ly into the field OF presidential prob
abilities by virtue of the energy, pro-
bity and skill with which he has
done the work of executive in his
own state.
His workmanship has been shown
not merely. in Gearing out bad tim
Der in the eiifice of the state. but
in replacing it with good material
and Strengthening the construction at
weak and exposed parts.
Gov. Harmon hiss taken a broad
view of the relation of his office TO
the people. He has not contented
himself with the relatively simple
and conspicuous work Of unveiling
bad conduct and chasing the guilty
ont OF public life. He has secured
Legislation that makes bad conduct
far less easy and safe.
The reform OF the tax laws. in
which he has been very active and
which has unQues ionably given tc
him large share of the extraordin.
airy popularity that he enjoys. has
been sound and valuable achieve
ment Of no low order.
We think that the unvarnished ac
count given by our CORE spondent
of the career OF Gov. Harmon. and
OF the feeling Of his fellow citizens
for him. and the cause of It. show
him to be man OF native strength
, OF mind and character, trained b,
experience and vigorous exercise TIL,
quiet and rooted confidence which
the people Of his own state show IL
him and have so strikingly maintain
ed is factor of real political snt
moral value.
