HAVE REASON TO BE PROUD
Afford View Of Unbroken
Line OF Progress.

During the past % years 100, 900
miles of railroads have been built
requiring an expenditure Of not less
than S900,0OO,000 for labor and
material We are both producers
and consumers. While our popula-
tion is only little over five per
cent. Of the population Of the world,
we produce 20 per cent. Of the wheat,
40 per cent. Of the iron and steel. SIS
per cent Of the copper, 20 per cent.
of the cotton and so per cent. of the
corn of the world. Furthermore.
with uncomfortable rapidity, machin-
cry has taken the place Of human
toll, and incidentally millions Of
slaves have been set free. The same
triumphant progress has unvarving-
ly characterized every phase of hui
man cndeavor on the American con-
tinent. Civil and religious liberty
is natural condition as well as an
attitude of mind. The story Of agri-
culture, Of manufacturing, of min
ing, Of the arts and sciences. demon
strates the unbroken progress and
uplift Of the whole people. Finally,
the health and well-being of the toll
ing masses have become. with con-
stantly increasing earnestness of en-
doavor, the individual and collective
purpose Of the nation. And above
all, the democratic idea through
good and evil report, has encour-
aged the personal work and charac-
ter Of the individual citizen. 1t has
always believed that competition
which encourages skill should re-
main paramount 1t has ALWAYS glo-
ried in this personal competitive
type as the ideal and preserver Of
democratic traditions.-James 0.
Pagan, in the Atlantic.

To Our Subscribers

Fully and gratefully appreciat-
ing your patronage, at the same
time will be most cheerfully.
~obligated by an early remittance of
amounts due according to the
bills recently sent out. The
amount thus due from each is
small but when a large number
is in arrears the sum total makes
a big difference at this end OF
the line when the monthly
accounts for wages, rent,
stock and many other expenses
are to be met. The small proper
ton of those who SO kindly and
promptly remitted, leads to the
conclusion that the failure of the
greater number to do so was due
to an oversight and hence this cour-
teous notice is simply a reminder
of this performance of . duty. 1t
is the aim ofthe paper to furnish
the reliable news of the camp
along mining lines. The items
in reference to mining conditions
only appear after the most careful
investigation. We hope that our
efforts will be appreciated by our
readers by their prompt remit
tance and thus help along the good
newspaper cause.

Lucania Looking Fine

The biggest vein of ore that has besn
struck in the Idaho Springs district for
years is now in evidence in the Lucania
tunnel At a dista .ce of 57e0 feet
from the portal and a depth of 1000 feet
on tn. dip of the vein below the surface
the drillers encountered strongly min
eralizsd lode and up to last night had
driven into it distance of SO feet and
bad not then reached the other wall.
The entire body shows good low grade
values. while assays taken from the
richer parts gave an average of $50. 90
per ton. There is no part of the lode
that does n OF give fair assay values
while much of it shows better values
than the assays SO far have given. AT
the breast of the tunnel, the currents of
air are drawn inward instead of toward
the portal. A light put near the drill
holes is puffed out. There must be air
passage through the surface that will
make such conditions Superintendent
John MaColl is very greatly pleased
over this excellent showing OF big OF e
body and is now specializing how much
further :he driving will have to be done
before the other wall is reached. 1t IS
great strike and with such large body
of ore it can be mined at about % cents
a ton.
