paper work so that his presentation
of the defense OF Mr.. Stull should

When 80 years old, Mack F. Beetc
gave up his home in New York and
setting out to make their fortunes
in the far west.
He settled first in California gulch
in 1862, where, after number Of
futile mining ventures, he started a
stage line. His first small coach and
team Of horses soon grew into many.
and Patton & Beebe became the
great carriers of the state.
The first regular means Of commun
ication between Cheyenne and Den-
yer was that Of the stage line oper-
ated for many years by Patten &
Beebe. many years before the railroad
was ever thought Of.
In 1889 Mr.. Beebe gave up his bus
mess and came to Denver. Here he
has lived since and always has been
prominently identified with the pio-
neer societies. both OF Gilpin county
and the state.

STAR OF THE WEST MINE.

Several of those interested in the
Star of the West, in Lake district,
operated under lease and bond by r.
N. Lewis, Geo. Launder, C. E. Wiley,
Steve Harper, James Atkinson, Tom
Atkinson, Tony Cessario of this city,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher of Colorado
Springs, went over to the property
this week and looked the proposition
over. They found to their pleasant
surprise and almost boundless Joy
cess and ready reach, awaiting ex-
traction. After hurried consult
alton, it was at once agreed that
the operations of the company, which
had heretofore been confined to dead
work should be changed instanter to
breaking and hoisting this pay ore.
AS the majority of the members of
the pool are men of more than ordin-
ary means, and none being hard
pressed for money, they had neglect
ed what is surely a rich bonanza, but
now that their eyes have been fully
opened to a complete realization of
the immense wealth contained in the
bowels Of the Star of the West lode,
they will no longer delay the output
of ore.
There are SO many interested in
the mino, it will be necessary to
maintain steady shipments in order
to pay dividends, which the pool is
hopeful Of declaring monthly, begin
ming with the first of February.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS NOW.

Too much cannot be said on the
subject of local investors taking a
hand in the development of proper.
ties known to be good. 1t may be q
little presumptious to use tho express
sion: known to be good" No doubt
there are many old residents who
know the lay Of the land in this dis
trict by heart. They must have
watched with interest every import
ant piece of work undertaken. 1t is
not saying that they thought well OF
all. But there is no doubt they pick,
ed out here and there a property
they thought should prove worth
while as an investment. Many can
cite how they saw their guess" turn
out as expected, and how disappoint-
ed they were to learn that the prop
have been long ago. but the memory
of the record OF that particular piece
of property has remained steadfast
in the mind. With the passing Of
LhS ySdi anu hOlIlAS DClA6 ooAS "
reopen the mine, they may havo
wished to possess the ground. OF
course they may not have been in a
position to do any thing. Then, what
they saw and know may now be only
a remnant of what was. II they could
only see into the ground.
This picture is one of great num-
Der. But there may be a knowledge
held by some, Of one particular prop
erty that always looked good to them.
They may have attempted to gain
possession but were unable for var
ious reasons. The present condition
of mining should make it easier to
secure the coveted prize, and it is
hero suggested effort again be made
to secure the same. The knowledge
held by some of the various proper
ties in the district ought to prove a
very valuable asset. Where outside
aid is not to be had, faith in Gilpin
mines should stir the pride Of the
old time resident and fill him with
an amDltlOn 10 10 something. hnoW-
ing that to get results is a verifica-
tion Of their Judgment. and, with that
verification they would certainly see
the account at the bank grow into
respectable Dimensions.
That much has been done by local
capital is but to canvass the situa-
tion. That much more will be under
taken assurance is given. To abandon
a good thing to others or to let 1t
remain dormant is to lose. Many
properties may not have been procur'
ed under any circumstances. Now is
the opportune time to work ones
sweet will. With home capital at the
business end means the retention OF
the gain in the home pocket.

WOULD RESTRICT
GOLD PRODUCTION

+ Thomas A. Edison has an attentive
audience every time he takes 1t upon
himself to say something. His latest
Is to the effect that he sees little
use for metals as money, and, just
prior to this the secretary of the
treasury could see no real necessity
for the continued coinage of gold sim
ply to be stored. While not a direct
attack on gold, these opinions, de-
livered by such high authority must
have something back of them to
call them forth. The use of metals
as money goes away back to a period
little guessed. The necessity or rath-
er the origin Of the idea OF the use
of metals as a medium Of exchange
could have come only from a know
ledge of the indestructibility of at
least gold. The other metals may have
come into use to help out the more
noble of the lot.
There is no use specializing on the
why and wherefore, the inquiring
reader may gain a great deal of
knowledge on the subject by applying
at some one of the many Carnegie
libraries scattered throughout the
country or even at the local library.
To one who makes a business of
studying up on such subjects the
question Of abandoning the use of
metals as money must appeal to him
Immensely. 1t may even strike a
novice with surprise. But it will take
more than a revolution to unseat gold
from it's throne. Shylock would nev-
er be able to get along without it.
1t is always designated in the bond
that all obligations of business com
mecrial or financial nature be baised
on gold.
To issue paper money, something
must be back of it. So with bonds.
Those are destructible. That which
is back Of them, the gold, is not.
There is no question but the system
has placed a great burden upon the
people. Many would not believe that
present conditions were other than
natural. That gold as money were
part of Providence's plan to help
along the people in their scheme Of
cohesive civilization. If it has acted
its part up to now to the satisfac-
ton Of most, it would seem like a
piece of base ingratitude to turn
afih at the system, since man IS be-
ginning to think he can dispense with
its use.
There will neod be greater guam
tity of gold produced to overthrow
its power. There may be better meth
DDS OF conducting affairs Of business
without the use of gold, but they are
not in evidence. In the meantime
others may fail at its use, but that
will not prevent it's production.
Though gold be discarded as money
there will always be a use for the
yellow metal. and the miner with a
good thing in the way of large pro-
udcer may continue his output indefi.
nitely. The Edisons and others may
seek to debase gold but there are
still others who will believe that gold
is indispensable and likely to remain
SO till the end Of time.
