the place of residence looked as though

marks on the dead mans clothing which
would lead to the conclusion that he had
come from Newcomb. the clue was fol-
lowed up. The register at the hotel was
kept in such haphazard manner, with
no dates to tell whether the name was
signed this year or years ago, that not
much hope was taken in the search until
communication was established over the
telephone with John Anderson. Jr. of

BUSINESS MEN WELCOME
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

Although the prospects for a COM
plete Democratic success in Novem-
ber are becoming brighter each day,
it is observable that the business
men of the country are not in the
least alarmed. The conduct Of the
Democratic house of representatives
under the progressive leadership of
Speaker Champ Clark and Floor
Leader Oscar Underwood is an as
surance' that the legitimate business
interests Of the country have nothing
to fear through Democratic ascen-
dancy. No one outside of lunatic
asylum would want to injure any
legitimate business by hairs
breadth. Any measure that tends to
build up an American industry with
out infringing upon the rights of the
consumer is approved by Democrats
in congress and those who are can
didates for congress. For the first
time in a. score of years the business
interests are not raising the preel-
ection bugaboo about Democratic sue
cess meaning business ruin.

MINING, THE CHIEF INDUSTRY.

Mining is and always will be para
mount in this state. Without depre-
ciating the Importance of agriculture
and all it's diversified interests, the
fact remains that mining built up
the great cities of Denver, Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and scores of 9TH
er prosperous towns in Colorado.
Where one dollar has been added
to the permanent wealth of the
state by agriculture, mining has con-
tributed ten dollars. Where agricul-
ture has built a two-story building,
mining has erected skyscrapers, and
SO on in every line of improvement.
Agriculture itself in this state de-
pends in a large measure upon the
prosperity of the miner. This salient
fact appears to have been overlook
ed of late by many who were not
here in the early days.
Publicity of this fact, together
with the education of these newcom-
mines and the great possibilities
therein contained, will do more to
renew prosperity in the cities named
than all the free auditoriums, NAM
moth pipe organs, gala days, civic
centers and other attractions with
which the city PEOPLE are burdening
themselves at the present time.
These are all good in themselves,
but the Importance of the mining
industry must at all times be kept
in the SPOT light or the large cen
ters of population in the state will
suffer.
While it may appear cheeky to Of
fer this sane advice to the dweller
in the big city, We in our little old
mining camp well know that it is the
only logical road to success, wealth
and happiness in the big cities of our
state.

FISHING FOR MINNoWS;
WHALES IN SIGHT

The United States District Attor
ney at Denver, has caused the ar.
rest, and is prosecuting railway mai
clerk for carrying outside the mails
a mailable packet, not first-class, for
hire.
This is under the law which makes
it unlawful for any person con ncerned
in carrying the mails to carry con-
trary to law any 'letter or packet"
But this same district attorney is
not prosecuting the express trust for
carrying millions CT such packet" in
violation of the very next section of
the criminal law which says: "Who-
ever shall establish any private ex-
press for the conveyance Of letters
or packets, or in any manner cause
or provide for the conveyance of the
same may be imprisoned not more
than six months
For violating the law once, a rail
way mail clerk is facing prison. For
doing the same thing millions of
times yearly, the express trust not
only goes unmo,ested, but is reward
ed with profits amounting to as
much as 100 per cent on stock that
is watered until it is soggy.

ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM.

The Importance of carefully con-
sidering the possible gain to be had
by installing electric hoists and ell
ectrict driven compressors in place
of steam driven machinery. is one
that confronts the local mine man.
ager at this time. when SO many of
cur mines are to be rehabilitated
and placed in shape for economical
mine production.
When electrical custom power can
be had at the collar of the shaft
without the necessity of placing poles
and equipment, it is claimed that
the first cost of installing electrically
equipped mining machinery is but so
per cent of the cost of putting in
steam-operated machinery with the
necessary boilers. The steam end of
the machinery cos:s on an average
Of s1OO per horse power to install.
while electric power is furnished at
an approximate cost of $40 per
horse power. Right here is saving
do away with the worry consequent
on snow-bound or washed.out rail
roads, the quality of the coal used
and the difficulty of keeping skilled
engineers on the job.
In addition to the cost of coal,
plus freight, plus tie cost of haul
ing. shrinkage in weight which in
this camp varies all the way from
two to five tons, bread gauge car,
we know what we are talking about
is the banking of fires to conserve
steam during the hours that the
plant is idle.
The cost of electric energy should
not exceed $72 per horse power per
year Each operator can readily fig
ure his present costs OF steam en-
ergy and arrive at an estimate as
to whether he is warranted in MAX
ing = change.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

The objection has been raised that
when the word Pastor" appears in
the news items of Black Hawk, Bald
Mountain or Russell Gulch, few peo-
pie know who is meant. For the in
formation of any who may be in
doubt we would like to say that the
Pastor" spoken of here is the Rev.
erend Benjamin Eitelgeorge, the old
est, and at the same time, the,
youngest pastor in Gilpin county. He
is Oldest from the standpoint of con-
tinuous service, celebrating his fifth
anniversary as the pastor of the
Methodist church in Black Hawk next
Sunday, May 18th, and incidentally
his fifth anniversary in the ministry,
having begun his pastorate there
while still student in the Prepara-
tory school of the University Of Den
yer; and he is youngest from the
standpoint of age.
Mr.. Eitelgeorge received his bach
elor's degree from the University of
Denver Ut tne commencement OF l5ll
He will receive the degree Of Master
of Arts. June 9th, 1912, and he con-
templates going to Boston in the
fall to take the seminary course in
the Boston School of Theology, which
is one of the best schools of its
kind controlled by the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Since readers of these columns are
familiar with all the o.d landmarks
of the county, It may be permissible
to abbreviate the regular Sunday an
nouncements by using simply the
word PASTOR" sure'y no one will
be mistaken In the future as to the
individual referred to.

HoW "DIssoLUTIoN" HELPS.

Standard oil and tobacco trus!
stocks have increased greatly in
value since the recent dissolution
decisions of the United States SUI
prsme court.
Dissolution under the supreme
court decisions is worth millions of
dollars to any trust in the land
Having enriched the oil and tobac-
CO trusts by "dissolving" them, the
attorney general has started similar
proceedings against the harvester
trust. Doubtless this trust will be
duly thankful for the favor.
The Sherman law carried a provi-
sion which makes it penitentiary
offense to organize an illegal trust.
If this section of the laws was in
voked against George w. Perkins and
the other Wall street millionaires
who organized the harvester trust,
it might be expected to have a de-
terrent effect on the organizing of
Illegal monopolies.
Poor men are sent to Jail for
breaking the law, and they respect
and fear the law. AS long as trust
magnates are merely dissolved" to
the end Of their still further enrich
ment. how can they be expected to
obey the law?
