GERMAN COUNT ACCUSES
 FRANCE OF TRYING TO CORNER THE WORLDS WAR BUSINESS

Berlin, Dec. 17.-DecIaring that France is trying to corner the worlds war material business and take from Germanv one of her chief industries. Count BeventIow, a celebrated writer on things military, today, in his issue of the Tages Zeitung, sharply an swered the campaign of the French press against the alleged inferiority of the German-made guns and war materials. The French newspa pers said that the war implements made in Franco were far superior to those of German manufacture and Count Reventlow pointed out that the Bull garian army entirely was armed with German guns in the Balkan war against Turkey and said that the Bull garian military experts were unQuali- fled in their praise of the German ordnance.

MEMS CLUB ORGANIZED.

The Mems club of Central City,
and banquet held at Foresters' hall
on Monday evening. About 10 of the
leading citizens of the county were
in attendance.
The aims and purposes of the
club were set forth by Prof. F. H.
Clark in a concise and eloquent ad-
dress, stating that the principal OBJ
jects Of the club would be based on
broad lines that would tend to the
betterment CT the whole community.
Social fellowship should be the main
stay of the organization, this to be
maintained by chess and checker
contests, debates and discourses.
special talks on the latest inventions,
social economy, etc. In addition, even
vino may not have had the advantage
OF the High school course. The speak
er proposed that gymnasium be es-
tablished covering all the modern
which was indorsed by those present
with the result that the club starts
off with some sixty paid members,
with others enrolling daily.
The club was organized with the
following named officers: President,
Prof. F. H. Clark; vice-president, L.
P. Davies; secretary, Thomas Str.b-
ley; treasurer, D. S. Davis.

that has been had in years. In the
way Of diversion, songs, violin and
banjo solos. monologues and shad-

the entertainment, at the close of
which the inner man was replenish-

HoT-AIR TUNNEL BUILDERS.

The latest hot-air suggestion made
by the would-be builders of the tun-
mel under James Peak, is that Den
YER should own all the lodes that the
tunnel might cut in boring through
the peak.
Possibly the worthy gentlemen see
another opportunity of exploiting the
public by stock sales, based on this
chimerical proposition, and give an
other fat job to Tommy Tonge.
Claims on James Peak have been in
existence for more than forty years,
many of them operated diligently, as
the inclement season permits. De-
velopment work on these properties
has been carried on for years in the
way of tunnels to block out the rich
ore bodies exposed on the surface.
Mills have been erected and operat-
ed to treat the ores mined, but now
comes Denver with the proposition
that, "If Denver caused the work in
the tunnel to be carefully inspected
by mining engineer at regular in
tervals he would discover every vein
the tunnel cuts. The mayor might be
constituted trustee to locate for the
city of Denver the veins that gave
promise of values. This could readily
be done under the law"
To go further in their proposition
If this should happen, Denver would
soon become the richest city, in its
own right, in the WORLD"
Smoke up, gentlemen. If you keep
at it long enough you Will soon own
all of Gilpin county. Why not start
the tunnel at your city hall on Cher
ry creek, then you might own it all
and your mayor could watch out and
file his locations as trustee as the
veins appeared. The great stream of
golden wealth would flow in ad finem
Your dream would be fulfilled. ''It
isn't beyond belief that the city
would be run for all future time
without a dollar of taxation, no mat
ter how large it grew to be-"
Talk about Al,aden and his lamp
he never was in it with these
gentlemen. Rnt seriously; if Denver
ever gets out of the mire that it
now finds itself in, it will have to
get back to first principles and real
ize that the prosperity of itself and
the whole state rests more on the
conservative operation of the mines
than any Aher one factor. In fact,
all other industries are subservient
to it.

DIVIDENDS IN MINING.

The actual cash dividends paid to
the stockholders of 147 mines and
metallurgical plants operating in the
mining states of this country for the
eleven months of this year amount
to the stupendous sum of S6,1O6,6 ,607.
This does not include l9,0i3,706 paid
by nine security holding corporations
which held stocks in other mining
companies.
The total record IN dividends paid
by the aforesaid mining companies
totals s792, .029 and Is evidence
that when operated on a business
basis, mining profits are larger for
the amount Of capital invested than
any other business.

MEMBER COLORADO EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
HIGH PERCENTAGE
OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

The late census bulletin, dealing
with the composition and character
istics of the population OF the state
of Colorado, proves interesting read
ing when a comparison of the popu-
lation of Gilpin county is made with
the state at large Tire illiterates in
the state repre- sent 81 per cent OF
the total population while Gilpin
county as whole shows but 1.3
per cent. Considering that the state
contains 1873 per cent of fore:gn1born
population and that Gilpin county
has 1872 per cent of foreign born,
speaks highly fer the naturalized cit
liens of our community; proving that
Gilpin county has the highest grade
of foreign-born citizens in the state.
We know this, as how they can
scratch SO much i'm an election.
The percentage CT school age at
tending school in the state is 6S.4
while Gilpin county has the high per-
centage of 75.7.
In the matter cf Sex, the census
of the state shows ratio of 116
males to 100 females, Gilpin county
129 males to every 100 females. This
makes a better opportunity fer the
old maids OF the east to find a mate
here. The census states that Gilpin
age but fails to make any statement
as to the number of females of vot-
ing age. This is true of the census
of the state at large. This is a vital
oversight and as we the common peo-
pie have to pay hig fer all this dope,
We believe THAT we are entitled to
know as to how many of the ladies
are entitled TO vote. We now, once

WAR DANCE REPORTS
DiScREDITED HERE.


The published reports in the Idaho
Springs papers regarding new inter
ests having taken charge, under a
bond and lease, of the famous War
Dance mine is discredited here. Lo-
cal leasers who are operating on
the War Dance have no knowledge
o. any change in the ownership of
the mine. These leasers at the pres
ent time are prosecuting consider
able work in the search of bonanza
ore for which this mine is famous.
The Idaho Springs Siftings of last
week, had the following to say:
For several weeks Mr.. John Lar
son was in the east in the interest
of mining affairs. One of the results
OF his trip was the taking over of
the War Dance on a lease and bond.
He got men of capital to go in with
him and raised all the money neces-
sary on that rich property, to sink
the shaft 500 feet deeper and run
levels every fifty feet beginning at
the depth of $50 feet. The running
Of levels every fifty feet is necessi-
tated on account of the rich ore that
| is found in the War Dance. Those
who became interested in the prop
erty with Mr.. Larson investigated
thoroughly the various reports OF
shipments that were available and
sent an attorney out here to inves-
tigate the records and other matters
that would give assurance of every
thing being right and legal. Before
beginning work the collar of the
! shaft will be enclosed with steel
plate. The plant will be operated by
electricity. The machinery is now be-
ing hauled to the mine"
