1t has been many a day since the
local telephone exchange lost one of
it's popular operators through the ac-
tivity of Cupid. For a time, hardly
month passed but that one Of the
sweet dispositioned ladies of the
switchboard was led to the hymeneal
altar. OF late, 1t has been different.
Wedding bells have ceased to toll
their enchanting music for the fair at
tache of the telephone exchange. We
mention this with a feeling of regret
not that we are anxious to lose a
single one of the sweet-voiced and
accommodating operators, but the Oh
server must encourage marriages In

UNITE THE MINING INDUSTRY

1t is pleasing to note that many
of the mining counties of the state
are forging to the front In the way
of opening up new producers, and
the increase in quality as well as
quantity of their ores. Foremost
among them is our own county OF
Gilpin. whose prospects for increased
output of gold for the year 1914. is
better than for many years in the
past, and her radium mines are now
being worked as never before. The
San Juan country is also forging to
the front through their local organiz-
ations. Also Clear Creek, the homo
of high grade silver ores. Several
of these counties we note are work.
Ing along independent lines will
seeming success, but local enter
prise is not always lasting. There.
fore, let us all unite and work
through our state bureau of mines
and the America Mining Congress
which is Colorado production and
is accomplishing much for the mining

OLD PRosPEcToR STALLED

Sam Orr, the veteran prospector of
the Yankee hill section had hard
time getting to town last Saturday
to attend divine service on the Sab
bath, as has been his custom for
many years. Sunday before last was
the first time he had been unable
to attend church, SO he contrived a
pair of snow shoes to make the trip
last Saturday. On the east slope of
Grizzly hill the snow was crusted
hard and Orr thought best to dis
card the snow shoes and make better
time by walking on the crust. For
a distance 1t held nicely when sud-
denly like Peter Of old, who tried to
emulate Jesus and walk on the wat
er, Orr found himself enveloped in
the beautiful" to his ears. In vain
he again and again attempted to re-
gain his snow shoes and after wal
lowing for eleven hours he finally
made it to the edge of town. Many
a young man would have perished by
the way, but his wonderful vitality
and his faith in the Lord proved
equal to the occasion, and brought
him into town safely.

THE PRACTICAL VS..
THE TECHNICAL MINER

To the Editor of the Observer
We notice in your paper of last
week an article signed by XXX, in
which he attempts to defend (what,
according to his article) the so-called
practical miner terms the yellow
legged expert.
Now, regarding the so-called prac-
tical miner, we would like to ask,
where can better judges of mines be
obtained than those who have been
raised as all-around practical men,
who can take a hand at any point
of the job and carry it through, than
who have been instrumental in max
ing the mines of our county the
greatest producers in the world. In
regard to the antipathy which he
speaks of, we think the reverse is
the rule, that the only use the tech
nical man has for the so-called prac-
tical miner is to make convenience
of him to further his own ends. The
technical man should cooperate with
the practical man, as we all know
that theory and practice are what Is
wanted, theory alone is but a poor
foundation, it has been the practical
miner from England and other parts
of the world who produced the bulk
of Gilpin,s $50 millions, the Cornish
miners whose only claim to science
was their daily observations, gained
from a life spent underground in ac-
tual development.
A knowledge of geology and min
eralogy Of course are a great benefit,
especially SO when combined with the
practical, but to depend on a know
ledge of these two sciences alone the
investor will surely come to grief.
If, for instance, we should bring
such men as John Hayes Hammond,
A. A. Blow, ]. Park Claiming, to ex-
anime and report on our mines, and
they should report adversely, are we
to accept that as final and look for
pastures green? In the Cripple Creek
district, 1t required some time to
convince the technical man that there
was gold in any appreciable guam
tity, but the practical man was there
to show him.
The poor old plodding prospector is
the one who uncovered our veins and
who, for the lack of funds to proper
ly develop his find are compelled to
sell out for grub stake" to tide
them over for another season.
1t has been under the management
of the so-called practical mining men
that the fortunes of such men as Sui
livan, Kountz, Moffat, Thatcher, STRAIT
ton. Walsh and many others were
made.
In the Engineering and Mining
Journal of Dec. 13, 1913, DR.. James
Douglas says of the geologist: per.
sonally have the highest admira-
tion for their observation and above
all their brilliant Imagination, but
! do not think they should be given
too free a hand in directing explora
tory work" So here is the glad hand
to the practical mining engineer ant
mining man, he is always welcome
as an exchange of views is always
desirable, as its tendency is to ar
improvement in the ways and means
of carrying on the general work and
development. H. A.
