APPROPRIATE GIFTS
FOR AUTUMN BRIDE

The girl who is at a loss what to make
| her engaged friend should start on a bed
| room set. 1t is the fancy just now to
have the toilet appointments of a room
| match each other.
No longer can a bureau scarf be OF lace
and the table cover of heavy pique, the
pincushion trifle in velvet, and the hat
pin case something else; all are of one
| kind, whatever the design chosen.
Such set is not difficult to make and
should consist at the least Of a toilet
cover, pincushion and table square. All
the other accessories may be added as
the giver wishes.
One of these sets in pique should have
the bureau scarf and table square finished
with a deep grouped scallop, heavily pad
ded and buttonholed in mercerixed cotton.
The only other trimming is a large mon
ogram or initials in the middle Of each
piece The letters are also heavily pad
ded and worked in satin stitch.
The pincushion to this has the cover
detachable and finished with scallop and
eyelets with a smaller marking to match
letters on the scarf.
Other pieces Of such q set could be a
handkerchief case made like q big square
envelope with the edges scalloped and the
initials on the flap, glove case finished
in the same way, but cut in shape Of a
long Oblong envelope, an oval laundry
bag with tops scalloped and drawn by
white cord through embroidered eyelets,
and hatpin case made with linen COW
er around q wide mailing tube, the top
of which is stuffed with wool and covered
with gilt meshed net.
The set can be still further enlarged by
brush and comb bag, nightgown case,
couch cushion, bedspread, pillow shams
and the small lingeries pillows that every
woman owns nowadays.
Where more elaborate effects are want
ed in addition to the scallop and mono

CONSERVATION.
From Report State Bureau of Mines

The industry of mining the coun-
try over, whether It be coal or metal
mining, has in the past few years
suffered an unnecessary setback, by
reason Of the national government
having allowed the policy of conser-
walton to be carried to what may be
termed extreme lengths. 1t has been
manifested here in the enormous
withdrawal Of lands from the public
domain. and their Incorporation In
various timber and forest reserves,
regaxdless Of the fact that in fully
hak The cases in this state there ID
not Il available foot of timber grow.
ing. In this way there is now with.
drawn thirty million, out Of Colora-
dos sixty-five million acres. The re-
suit has been that prospecting has
almost ceased as an industry, and
the state practically been debarred
from the chance of any new mining
field or district being located and
developed.
1t must be understood that, while
the forest reserve regulations do not
prohibit prospecting work or mining
locations. they do, however, make II
difficult and uncertain for the min
eral discoverer to secure and retain
his locations that the miner has been
discouraged from attempting such
pioneer work. The prospector ia
obliged to await the pleasure of the
range rider. and be subjected to such
a limited Intelligence in mining mat
ters before he is granted any valued
location claimed. This is only the
main difficulty, but 1t is sufficient
to cripple that necessary branch OF
the mining industry.

A Grand
Civic Center

The ground across the street from
the court house, which is to COM
prise part OF the civic center, is
rapidly being filled in and leveled
and made ready for grass seed. This
work marks the commencement Of a
grand scheme Of beautifying the city
along the line contemplated by
Denver.
By laying out the ground in the
shape Of diamond the civic center
can be made to embrace all the pub
lie buildings. There's the court house
(our magnificent temple of justice)
to commence with. Within close
range is the city hall (somewhat col
onial in appearance but an historic
old structure and Central's most val
liable asset. From the city hall the
line may be drawn to the horse
trough on Main street, which Mayor
Jenkins during his term of office was
anxious to see converted into an el-
ectric fountain like Denver boasts Of
in her city park. This is still hobby
with Mr.. Jenkins and the very fact
that the beauty scheme is to include
shower OF water of variegated col
ors makes him strongly in accord
with the entire proposition.
Next to the fountain (within easy
reach. rather,) is our magnificent
band stand, where music can be fur
nished while the water in the foun-
tain is shooting heavenward. This
stand will add to the general orna-
mentation and attractiveness Of the
whole scheme and as we already pos
sess 1t great deal Of money which
otherwise would have to be expend-
ed to provide place for the musi-
clans, can be saved.
Going little further up the street
We take in the city park, with its
large and imposing grand stand. Thia
ground lends a delightful finish to
the civic center and makes the en-
tire scheme complete to a most sat
isfactory degree inasmuch as on the
far end Of the park is the office of
Mayor Cody. This structure is in q
direct line diagonally from the court
house. the head as planned Of tho
beautifying section, and makes an
agreeable finish to the pFopusitioa
generally. Then there is Just suffi-
cient contrast between the court
house and the mayors office In
point Of size to lend interest and oc-
casion comment.
To complete the beauty scheme to
meet with the general satisfaction Of
the citizens Of the county, It may
be necessary to condemn and tear
down the Teller House, the opera
house and any other buildings stand
ing on ground that could be used
to better purpose in improving the
appearance Of the town. Then, too.
high buildings obstruct the sky line
and nothing will be tolerated that In
any way will interfere either with the
harmonizing beauty OF the green
grass in the civic center or the
azure blue OF the sky above.

BETTER CONDITIONS

have equaled these. OF the workable
ground remaining no one can positive
ly state how it may turn out; but
" the farthermost claims are fully
equal to the center of the district
there should be, reasoning by anolog
great deal OF mineral still to be
uncovered.
All these locations are owned by
some party or parties. Many no doubt
would be glad to sell their posses
sions, others might only wish to give
lease and bond not caring to re-
linquish that which appeals to them
so strongly. 1t is possible that the
best properties could not be had un-

what an enormous value all this prop
erty must be worth. To realize the
estimated worth the owner would be-
lieve 1t could be produced from the
mines. That vast sum, then, in the
estimation Of owners must still re-

OF course it would be too much to
expect that every location would pro-
duce the estimated value Of the prop
erty. 1t is mere speculation, 1t is
true, to try to estimate what will
yet be mined. but should the present
f1attering conditions continue the
years output must convince many
that old Gilpin is still good for many
years as a precious mineral producer.
