During recent visit of number
Of Ouray Commercial club members
to our club meeting, Jurge RothwelI,
the secretary Of the ouray CONNER
cial club, in his talk to those present
brought aut the following interesting
table showing that the mineral out
put for 1911 was $703.76 per capitd
in Ouray county, $356.73 in San Juan
and s762.3s in San Miguel. Total for
the three counties in 1911 was $7,15S,-
S99, while the population in 1910 (the
census year, was 1l,277. II will be
noted that 0uray, the most densely
populated of the three, has only ~
persons to the square mile. Now, the
state Of Rhode Island has 508 to the
square mile. And If Ouray county
held within her borders q population
so dense, producing at the same per
capita rate as at present, 1t would
have produced mineral wealth to
total of more than $1s5, 1000, 900 dur
ing 1911' Similarly, the three coun-
ties would have produced over twice
the total mineral output of the coun-
try for that year.-Silverton Miner.

Thanksgiving morning at st. Column
ba's church. Rev. Father Callahan
officiated at the nuptial mass. Their
engagement has been an open secret
for some time and the marriage an
event that has been weekly expected
since last spring.
The beautiful and impressive cere-
mony was witnessed only by immed-
late relatives and intimate friends.
The bride was attended by Miss Myrt-
lie Hill, young lady who has been
her most loved friend through high
school and college years. Charles
Conroy, Jr., nephew of the groom,
acted as best man.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of Mrs. George McGregor. She is a
Durango product of whom the city
has every reason to be proud. For
the past four years she has been a
teacher in the La Plata county schools
and in her chosen profession, met
with marked success. By every per-

she is held in highest regard. The
groom is well known in political and
business life. For three consecutive
terms he served the county in the ca
pacity of clerk. In his business vent
ures financial success has crowned
his efforts. For the deserving couple,
the future seems to have naught but
happiness in store. If the wishes of
their friends materialize their life will
be filled with wealth of the thihgc
worth while
