A plant of the kind at Golden can
materially aid in giving q working
formula for many classes of ores.
Adjoining claims have been known
to produce diversified ore. The re-
gents Of one might prove a failure
in the treatment of the other. Under
the circumstances the marvel is that
q general plant has been able to
take the ores promiscuously and
make a return. Undoubtedly many
failures have occurred owing to this
very thing. Test revealed its adapt
ability to handle certain class of
ore. After a while it began handling
most any class of ores with the re-
suit that failure was the portion Of
the mill owners.
A large mine with uniform grade
of ore in seeking a. process through
treatment at the experimental plant
would be greatly aided by this institu
ton in finding system best adopt
gu lOr Tue ore Ill queStloH. IL is poS-
sible that the plant may result in
solving many intricate problems of
ore treatment. OF course the object
to be attained is principally method
of treatment not alone successful
but cheap. 1t would not be of much
account could it not improve upon
existing methods of the treatment of
ores.

Democratic ticket for the Second
Congressional district. Friends of
Ex-senator Ehrhardt Of Chaffee coun-
ty, are also urging him to make the
race, and he is reported to be in a
receptive mood.
The Republican press of Colorado
is claiming that the state will be in
debt to the extent of over S2,000,000
at the end of the present admins
traticn. This is true, but it fails to
tell you the cause of this condition.
1t is that the taxpayers Of the state
at the last election voted to issue
the above amount in bonds to re-
store the states credit, and make
good the fraudulent warrants issued
by the celebrated "ROBEE0 SEVEN
TIL" General assembly, which was
all Republican. 1t also fails to tell
you that the money of the state
school fund was taken to cash these
warrants, and the issue Of bonds was
made for the purpose of restoring
the money illegally taken from the
school children of the state by this
notorious assembly.
The Democratic press OF the state
is each day becoming more emphatic
in its demand, that just as coc1 as
the primary election is held and the
Democratic voters have signified theil
choice for the short term senator,
that the legislature be Immediately
convened and the senator elected.
The following are the delegates
who will journey to Chicago as Pro
gressive Republicans and try to Sc
cure seats in the Republican national
convention, as the regular delegates

Merle ID. Vincent, Of Paonia. V. c.
Orange of Pueblo; 9. R. Fisher Of
Sterling; F. A. Coston Of Fort Nor
gan and John T. Jacobs of Weld
county. The convention which elect
ed these men was called together
by five men. These delegates claim
they will be seated IL Roosevelt can
seat them, and that if he gets the
nomination for president, Lindsey
will be his running mate. e.Also, should
he run independent, Lindsey will be
the nominee on the same ticket for
vice president.

BANK DEPOSITS ARE NOT MONEY
(From Banking Reform.) }


The deposits in the banks are s16,-
900 900. 900. The money amounts to
81. 500 900. 900; the money outside the
banks, $4,000, 100000; $500, ,OOO, 900
in the whole country.
Bank deposits, then, are more than
ten times as large as the banks mon
ey holdings; they are nearly five
times as large as the total stock of
money in the country For every dol
lar in the banks they owe their de-
pcsitors they have less than a dime
in money. The savings banks have
less than one cent in money for every
cent they owe their depositors.
Bank deposits are not money.
What, then. is bank deposit?
Only one dollar in twenty of the
deposits the banks receive daily
(they run about $1,000, 900 a day.
are in money. All the rest are in the
form Of orders or promises to pay.
If you go to bank and borrow
81 900 the bank credits you with
81 900 on it's books. This is a de-
posit. If you draw a check against
this derosit for $1,000 to pay the
mortgage On your home, the man
who gets the check puts it in his
bank. This is deposit.
:. If You are a manufacturer, you get
frcm a customer, in payment for
goods, his written promise to pay
you in ninety days. You put this note
| in your bank which credits you with
the amount, less interest. This is a
deposit. Or, you draw an order on
your customer to pay you the amount
in ninety days; he accepts" the
draft; you put it in your bank. This
is deposit.
In such ways the great bulk Of
bank deposits arise. Modern business
| makes actual money of less and less
| Importance in the exchange of goods
between producers and consumers.
Nine-tenths Of all our business is now
done on bank credit.
The farmer who has wheat and
wants to buy shoes and meat gets
the currency with which to make his
purchases by getting bank deposit
against his wheat. He gets this de
posit by loan on the wheat as Sc
curity. or by selling to the bank the
written evidences Of payment to be
made by him for his wheat.
The great bulk of bank deposits
represents, in fact. the coming OF
property into currency. A deposit is
liability Of the bank-it is a sum
the bank owes the depositor. The
chief resources Of bank are. in ad-
dition to the securities it has pur-
chased for investment. the loans 1t
has made on property Especially
goods moving in the channels OF
trade) which are soon to be paid to
the borrowers.
No bank Is ever in a position to
pay any large number of depositors
on demand cash In full. But every
sound bank In a sound banking sys-
tenn has its resources in such form
that 1t can obtain cash ON short
notice to meet the most extraordinary
demands Of its depositors.
Every great commercial nation with
the exception Of the United States.
has provided a means whereby sound
banks can always convert prime as
sets into currency.
