nual reports as to their financial
status, as to the ore reserves, tho
conditions Of tho lowest developments
in the mines. ETC.. etc.
While in these remarks have held
out to you the red flag of danger,
nevertheless when tho track Is clear
and in good condition have great
faith in the safety OF mining invest
ments. Indeed. speaking with a prop
er appreciation of the Importance Of
the statement, have no hositancy
in expressing the opinion that, con-
Quoted upon the right basis when ex-
tended over many operations, there
Is no business with which am fam
iliar that offers such attractive and at
tho same time such safa investments
as the mining industry.
You have all probably heard Mark
Twain's definition of mine as "a
hole in the ground owned by liar"
but fairer definition, believe, is
"a hole in the ground sold by lying
promoter to stupid investor"
From my experience with the min
er himself, and / claim to be able
to speak authoritatively on this sub
ject, having spent many years in
close association and on the most in
innate terms with the miners of sew
eral continents, l know him to be a
man Of exceptionable probity, and 1t
Is but tardy justice to recognize this
virtue. The miner. it is true. is hope
full and sometimes confessedly too
sanguine, but these very qualities are
indispensable to his vocation. This
tribute applies particularly to the
courageous, indefatigable prospector
tundras of Siberia and in the impene-
trable jungles OF the deadly tropics.
l have met him on the high peaks Of
the Andes and on the desert sands
of Death Valley. Wherever I have
met him l have found him a mani of
hope. Of courage. of generous i'm
pulse.
The prospector is above all othors
the real pioneer of civilization. an
tedating the missionary and the rail-
road surveyor, and his discoveries it
is that have given the life blood to
modern industry. Finally, If you have
not been successful. blame not the
honest miner or the industry because
of the fact that you have not used
good business sense and discrimina-
tion in your mining investments.

PLANS REUNION OF
FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

News of great interest to all persons
who appreciate good time will be the
announcement of an excursion to Cent
raj City about the middle of June. The
Golden firemen and all their friends are
invited to attend a dance at Armory
hall. These excursions are but the fur
ther cementing of the good fellowship
existing between the local fire compan-
les and the boys of Gilpin county, and
all feel sure they will end up with the
various volunteer departments of cent
raj Colorado getting together and or
ganizing tournament association for
the purpose of holding fire tourna-
ments worth while in the various towns
and cities. Such plan would stop all
squabbling as to which place should
hold the meet, and also would put a
quietus on the old trouble of two places
trying to pull off the same thing at the
same time. Such a move has long been
the dream of a number of firemen in all
three of the counties.
The Golden fire department will hold
field day at Athletic park on the
Fourth of July, ending with dance in
the evening in honor of the boys from
above, in return for many favors and
good times shown them by the Gilpin
countyites. This field day will be of
the same nature as the one the Wood
men held last year on Labor day, and
will consist of broncho busting, races,
base ball contest and many other
things to make a highly interesting
occasion. The dance, it is promised,
will be one lasting all night. Reasons
have been advanced against the holding
of a tournament, the principal one be-
ing, the lack of suitable track for fire
races. Golden Transcript.

RuckER's PIPE DREAM.

Frank M. Downer, superint endent of
the Denver mint, says that he has re-
ceived numerous inquiries by letter and
by telephone asking whether the mint
will continue to receive and pay for de-
posits of gold bullion. To all such in
quiries he has replied that the mint will
as heretofore receive deposits of bullion
of any amount from SIS in value up,
and pay for the same either with a
draft on the assistant treasurer of the
United Stated at New York or at Chi
cago, or in gold coin, at the option of
the depositor.
The above was taken from the Den
yer Republican and answers question
which has been repeatedly asked this
Office, "What is there to the statement
Of Congressman Rucker that the mint
will hereafter only take gold bullion in
quantities Of 81. 900 or more?" Bould-

GOLDEN sMELTER TURNS
"PRosPEcTs" INTO MINES,

The advent of the owners Of the
Golden smelter into the mining business
in Gilpin county is an important feat
ure Of the last few weeks. Engineers
for the company have been making ex-
aminations and taking options on a
number of properties, and If purchases
are made there is every sufficient
amount Of money will be provided as
well as competent management.
The Golden smelter people have turn
ed many prospects into mines in Clear
Greek county. and It may reasonably be
expected that their Gilpin county bold
ings will be aggressively developed.
In addition, they have made contracts
with several Gilpin county mines for
their output. which is being regularly

MINING BUREAU TO
AID IN MINE SALES.

The committee on mines and mining
of the Denver chamber of commerce is
considering the establishment in Den
yer of bureau where can be kept on
file full and reliable particulars of Colo
RADIO mining properties, from prospects
to producing mines, offered on lease
and bond or straight sale. This will af-
ford owners practical method of plac-
ing their properties on the market and
will furnish place where investors can
look for what they wish.
Thomas Tonge is chairman of the
mines and mining committee and stated
yesterday that the proposed bureau, if
established, will seek the cooperation of
the l20 United States deputy mineral
surveyors scattered throughout the
mining districts of the state, who
would materially assist the owners, es-
pecially prospectors, in preparing reli-
able data. The cost of maintaining such
a bureau is estimated at 5000 per an
mum, which at present, is the chief diff
ficulty in the way of establishing it.
Credit for the suggestion to form a
mining bureau is given to Edwin E.
Chase NJ. E., who has paid paticular at.
tention to the matter of bringing clos
er together the owner of mining prop
erty, the prospector, and the capitalist.
1t is likely that action on the formation
of the bureau will be postponed unit

ton, president of the Colorado chapter

FOOD VALUE OF MILK
CONTAINS MATERIALS WHICH

One Quart Of Cows Milk Supplies
Practically a. Much Protein and
Energy al Threeouarters
Of Pound Of Beef.

It rs q commonplace saying that
milk. or. to be more specific. cows
milk. Is 4 perfect food. This may be
taken to mean that 1t contains. first.
materials which children need for
growth; second. material which young
and old alike need for the repair Of
their bodily machinery; and, third.
materials which both need for fuel.
1. e.. to provide with heat and
with the energy necessary for
work 1t should not be understood
gradients In such proportions that it
can serve satisfactorily as an exclusive
food for grown person or even for a
child. Though It Is the best substi-
tute for mothers milk, 1t must be
modified" more or less before 1t can
be used even for infant feeding with
good results
1t is likewise q commonplace saying
that milk Is a cheap as well as a nu-
tritious food Just at present. with
prices Of all kinds of foods rapidly
changing, 1t Is not 80 easy as it once
was to make the comparisons that
are necessary to show which particu-
lar foods are really cheap. but while
the prices OF food materials vary, the
composition Of most OF them remains
unchanged. and 1t Is always possible
to compare their nutritive values. A
quart of milk supplies practically as
much Of both protein and energy as
three-quarters Of a pound of beef Of
average composition or eight average
eggs, and can generally be bought for
less money. In case milk Is eight
cents a quart. beef 40 cents a pound.
and eggs "A cents a dozen, ten cents
spent for milk will buy little more
protein and much more energy than
ten cents spent for beef or ten cents
spent for eggs. Thus, while other ami
msl foods than milk (meat. eggs and
cheese) are desirable to give variety
to the diet It may be assumed that
milk may be used as an economical
substitute for any one of them.

for example) are found to be much
cheaper than milk, when both price
and nutritive value are taken into con-

they always form the greater part Of
the bulk of human food; but of the
animal foods which are usually COM
btned with the vegetable foods, milk
Is one Of the cheapest
In spite Of the fact that milk Is rec
ogniIed as a nutritious and a cheap
food. there seems to be a general
tendency to think Of 1t not as a pos
sfbIe substitute for other more expen-
sive foods. but rather as an addition
to the bill of fare. To illustrate, milk
is frequently used as beverage with
out the reduction Of the amount of
meat or other proteid foods served.
From the point Of view Of the need Of
the body. this may be considered ex-
travagant and the serving Of a glass
Of milk or Of bowlful Of soup or Of
such desserts as custards and baked

FIFTY YeARs IN THE MINISTRY

Rev. 3. T. Vincent, one of Colora-
| DIS pioneer ministers, who helped es-
tablish Methodism in the state, observ-
ed the fiftieth anniversary of his min
istry Sunday, says the Golden Globe.
He came to Colorado AZ years ago and
has devoted about 80 years of his serv-
ice here. He is probably the Oldest
Methodist minister in Colorado in point
of service in the state. He took part
in the dedication of the old Lawrence
street Methodist church in 1866, the
first organized Methodist church in
Denver, and was one of its early pas
tors. His first work was in Central
City during picturesque and stirring
times in the camp.
Mr.. Vincent is II years old, but is
to preach some years longer. His first
pastorate was in little town near Chi
cago. He stayed there two years and
where he served from 1863 to 1866.
Methodism was being preached in the
mountain towns, but there were no es-
tablshed churches until about 1863.
Mr.. Vincent remained in Central three
years and was then sent to Denver.
H preached one of the dedicatory SER
mons at the opening of the first Metho-
dist church in the city. The church
building still stands on fourteenth and
Lrwrence streets, until recently occupi-
ed by the Salvation Army. Rev. Geo.
Richardson, who recently died, was the
first pastor of the church. He also
took part in the dedication services.
Another who preached at the services
was Arthur Willard, brother of Francis
Willard.
After the conference for the Denver
district was established, Mr.. Vincent
was made presiding elder. He later
returned to Illinois to take pastorate
and still later had charge of churches in
Philadelphia and other places in Penn
sylvania. He at one time held pastor
ate in Greeley and also held charges at
Colorado Springs and Golden. Two
years ago he retired from active service
and has devoted his time to preaching
through the state.
During my half century of service, "he
said, II have seen many changes. have
seen Colorado Methodism grow from a
small congregation of members to a
church with 80, 900 members and proper
ty worth SO, 900, 900. In 1868 S12 was
given for benevolent purposes in the
state. The contributions now reach $40, :
900 year. There has been great ad-
vance in thought in the church since l
took my first pastorate and l have
watched the advance with great pleas
ure."
Sunday morning Mr.. Vincent occupi-
ed the pulpit of the Warren Methodist
church. He spoke on the changes that
had taken place in Methodism in the
half century of his ministry.

"Shoot dead or leave well alone is a

With elephants. especially howdah
elephants, pursuit may begin at once
