LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.

Many claim that for lack of oppor-
tunity they have never been able to
better themselves financially. They
have remained in the same old rut
year in and year out without any
hope Of ever getting away from the
farm or out Of the town in which
they were born. And these may not
be without ambition; but as often
happens opportunity never presented
itself in any guise alluring enough to
entice them from their easy or seem
ingly hard task Of struggle for ca
istence. These may have often
thought that life were a mere Incl.
dent in that existence meant the
same old routine from day to day
without deviation. They may have
heard OF others doing something out
Of the ordinary. But then they were

Those who plead the excuse tina,
they never had a chance are invited
to think over that which is offered
by venturing into mining. No rewards

Dance
Strikes 1t

The operations Of the Golden smell
ter people In Gilpin county are COM
mencing to be felt. They are putting
men to work in the several mines in
their holdings and already getting
good results.
This week two good streaks were
opened up in the War Dance, in sink
ing the shaft. One streak is eight
inches in width and the other is 1S.
Assays Of the veins vary from 100000
to 100000 to the ton. 1t is thought
that the veins join lower down, and
II such is the case it will mean the
richest strike recorded in the county
since the fabulous find in the War
Dance three years ago.
Machine drills were put to work
on the Anchor mine last week. This
is another Of the propositions being
operated by the Golden smelter.
Three c. & s. cars OF smelling ore
were shipped from the Anchor to
Golden this week and the values con-
tained in the ore were highly satis-

made to increase the force of miners
and make a heavy output from this
mine.
Negotiations which were pending
between the Golden people and own
ers and lessees for the National and
Mammoth groups were closed last
week. and quite an area Of ground,
embracing some of the most produc-
tive mines in the county, passes in
to the hands of the smelter people
They intend first to enlarge the shaft
building on the National and install
larger plant Of machinery. The lat

with the Mammoth will be continued.
This has sbeen driven 1000 feet.
Twenty-four hundred feet will have

WILLIAM e. WITHRoW
DIES IN DENVER
"w. E. Withrow is dead"

This is the sad and lamentable
news received in this city Tuesday
at noon from St. Joseph's hospital
in Denver, where Mr.. Withrow had
been taken Saturday morning. The
duration Of sickness was less than
week. At the Gladstone mine We'd
nesday of last week he was taken
with chill. He came home and his
condition growing worse, doctor
was called. Pneumonia rapidly deveI-
oped and from it's very inception it
seemed beyond medical skill to check
the inflammation of the lung-tissue.
Denver Doctors realized the serious
ness OF the case from the time the
patient was placed in their care.
The funeral will be held from the
undertaking parlors Of 1. N. Rogers
& Son, 1850 Lincoln avenue, Denver,
Saturday morning at 1920 o'clock.
Rev. A. F. Gordon Mackay, of Nampa,
Ida, will preach the funeral sermon
Services at the grave will be con-
Quoted by the Masons. Interment
in Fairmont.
William Edgar Withrow, only son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Chase Withrow, was
born in Central City, October 11th,
1878. He attended the local school,
graduating with the class OF 1896
He then took the four year course
in the University OF Colorado, Boul-
der, graduating with honors in 1900.
He took the regular three year law
course in Columbia university, finish
ing in 1904. Mr.. Withrow was mem
Der Of the Alpha Tau fraternity of
the U. Of c. The only lodge he be-
longed to was the Masons of Central.
On August 18th, 1906, Mr.. Withrow
was married to Miss Helen C. Park
er, Of Manasquan, N. ]. Two children
blessed the union-a boy and a girl.
The family has the deepest sympathy
Of many friends.
Sorrow, extending throughout the
county, is felt over the untimely
death Of w. E. Withrow. Not many
knew he was sick, and knowing of
his constant good health and robust
constitution, hardly anyone thought
1t possible that pneumonia could re-
suit fatally. Death comes Just in the
bloom Of life when the way to brill
liant professional future was Just
opening to Mr. Withfow. In the prac-
tice Of his profession he was making
good and his clientele was growing
rapidly. People had confidence in him
both as man and as an attorney.
He took great pride in his work and
in the handling Of a case gave the
client the very best there was in
him. Mr.. Withrow never held an
elective office, other than that of
member OF the school board, but
aside from serving as city attorney,
was until three years ago deputy dis
trict attorney of this county. In this
capacity he distinguished himself as
a very able prosecutor, his ability be-
ing recognized as above that of his
superior in office. He was very pub
lie spirited and always ambitious to
do his part in any movement having
for its purpose the advancement of
the county. In his death the county
suffers an irretrievable loss.

Things Mining
Looking Up

II news in the papers is reliable 1t
will be noted that mining in this
state is in advance OF what it has
been. In this district activity is
shown of more than ordinary mo-
ment. Local interest is far more
many good properties to be had-it
is a wonder that more are not work
ing. Even silver properties are not
being overlooked. These must be
to take hold. But in this particular
instance a local pool will reopen an
Cd property on the silver belt. 1t
must have been exceptional in that
1t can again attract capital.
While these are not the least of
the signs Of the times, the Golden
smelter has a most potent influence
not alone from its position as regards
a market for ore, but it is securing
many properties upon which it may
depend to keep up the supply requir-
ed for its own purpose. 1t is one Of
the best moves inaugurated in a long
time. The past has revealed condi-
tions hardly tolerated today. The mill
and mine must be under the same
control now, thus assuring a constant
source Of material upon which to
work. This condition cannot be made
too prominent when reverting to the
mining industry. OF course attempts
OF the kind are common enough Of
mine and mill under one management
but many failed of their purpose due
to one thing or another. Either the
mill was too large and the mines un-
able to keep up the quantity neces-
sary even with the aid Of custom ore.
or the system was not particularly
suited to the kind of mineral deliver
cd.
The Golden smelter would take the
place Of the old Argo works. Should
1t keep aloof from the trust, coupled
with the position that it will handle
the product Of its own mines. should
make the enterprise most profitable
concern. Its advent il most advan-
tageous to this district. The company
has become possessed of many thous-
ands of dollars worth of Gilpin
properties in order to be assured of
a continued source Of material upon
which to work. In fact the advent Of
this concern has added a great deal
to the situation as concerns mining
in this district. 1t is gratifying that
the company should make a choice
Of the properties in old Gilpin. The
fissure vein counties invariably have
the better Of things when it comes
to selection. The choice of these
is assurance OF permanence. And it
should not be forgotten that the prop
critics taken over are by no means
virgin. Much work has been done on
most Of them.

CASE PUZZLES
ATLANTA POLICE
YOUNG MAN ROBBED A FEW
DAYS AGO, AT HOSPITAL
NEAR TO DEATH.

Atlanta, Dec. ga deep mystery
is battling police, physicians and de-
tectives here in connection with the
supposed robbery Of Neal Mcclure,
who was picked up for dead behind
he1ge near the Sacred Heart church
week or two ago, and who lies in
critical condition in a local hospi-
| tai.
1t has turned out that Mcclure was
not robbed at all. The fact has been
made public this morning that $50
was found in the pockets of McGuire's
coat, that nothing had been taken
and that the robbery theory has been
abandoned by the police from the
first. The whole affair has been so
strange and so complicated that the
police had been loath to let all they
knew become known.
Not only has the robbery theory
been abandoned, but it is stated by
the physicians at the hospital that
while Mcclure has all the symptoms
of conclusion of the brain, there is
no external evidence of blow suffi-
GENTLY hard to have caused such con-
cussion.
Along with the rest of the mystery
comes the manner in which the I'M
conscious boy was found. 1t was sup
posed that some one stumbled on it
by accident. But the police admit that
at II o'clock at night, a strange voice
called over the telephone to police
headquarters, asked for the desk SER
geant and said:
Send two men to the hedge by the
Sacred Heart church. Let them look
behind it and they will find what they
will find"
Before the sergeant could utter
single word the phone at the other
end OF the line was hung up, and it
hasn't yet been discovered whose the
voice was.
Mcclure continues so delirious that
nothing definite can be learned from
him. The doctors find it impossible
to distinguish what hallucinations he
has and what is a real record Of his
experiences that night. Sometimes
he oegs somebody in his delirium not
to shoot; at other times he speaks of
directing somebody to the Sacred
Heart church.
