A TRIBUTE TO MINING.

A president of one of the largest
National banks in Chicago was crit
icized by his brother presidents, be-
cause he had become largely inter-
ested in a gold and copper mine in
the Rocky mountains. He answered:
Throughout the Rocky mountains,
ages gone, God builded stronger
vaults in His Granite banks than
ours. He filled these vaults with gold
silver and copper. He gave the pros
pector knowledge and insight, and
guided him on his way to the door
of the bank vault. The Federal gov
ernment handed him his patent title
to all therein. 1t is no crime, but a
virtue to enter. With drill, blast,
pick and spade the poor man broke
the combination lock and entered.
But for him our notes in issue would
be as the stump-tail' currency of
1857. But for him this government
would be bankrupt. Mines will be
producing millions in gold. silver and
copper in that future day when nat
ional banks are unknown. Remember
mine is simply crop, already
raised, harvested and deposited in
the bin or bank. You check it out at
your pleasure.
1.-THE wealth gathered from mines
immortalized King Solomon. Mining
made Rome the mistress of the
world. Mining made Great Britain
the worlds commercial dictator. Min
ing has made the United States the
richest country in the world. Show
me the country that has no mines ana
will show you a people sunk in de-
gradation OF poverty; and poverty
makes towards of nations as we'll as
men. Mining has transformed more
broken men and tramps into million
aires and placed them into positions
of honor and trust than any other
business. Without the miner you
would not have any frying pan, a
spoon or hat pin. Eliminate the
miner and you wipe out civilizations.
A nations prosperity depends largely
upon the extent, variety and develop
ment of its mineral resources"

displayed the same poor judgment in

named men for various positions who

They had a riotous vacation. but it did
not last long. They hoped away from
their cage and took the overland
route S that nobody might catch them.
ALI night they remained quiet and
peaceful somewhere or other. and no
one could imagine what had become of
them. In the morning the mystery
was clear. Everybody knew where
they were. They were in the belfry
Of the church near the zoo. There are
bells in the steeple. and the monkeys
were ringing them. swinging from one
rope to another and making believe
that they were in their old original
forest. They kept up the ringing Of
the bells until the fire department men
came with ladders and climbed up to
get them.
