PRETTY WEDDING IS
 SOLEMNIZED AT HOME
Miss Grace Smith Becomes Bride of Arizona Man in Presence
 of Friends

In the presence of a group o1
 thirty friends and relatives. the
 marriage of Miss Grace H.
 Smith, daughter of MT. and Mrs.
 Reuben R. Smith, of 28 Surf1ine
 place, and Burr W. Porter, of
 Navajo. Arizona, was solemnized
 at the home of the parents of
 the bride.
 As the clock chimed seven, Miss Stafford Daniels came slow ly down the stairway singing
 70 Promise Me" At the close of the song, Miss Meta Porter, a cousin of the bridegroom, who presided at the piano, announced the coming of the bridal couple by the strains of the wedding march.
 At the foot of the stairway stood two dainty white frocked misses, Florence Smith, sister. and Elya Howell, cousin of the bride, who awaited the coming of the couple and stood on either side as they passed into the beautifully adorned lobby and took their places under an arch of smilax, from the center of which was suspended a bell formed of Cecll Bruner roses. Miss Porter continued to play softly while the marriage lines were read by Rev. Henry Kend- all Booth, pastor of the Congre- gational church. At the conclu- sion of the ceremony Miss Dan lels sang 'I Love you Truly"
 The bride, who is an attractive young woman of the brunette type, was gowned in pale blue, and pink tints predominated. She earned an arm bouquet of Cecil Bruner roses and lilies of the valley. She came here three years ago, from Holbrook Ariz., but has spent a portion of each year at her old home.
 Mr. Porter has large interests in stock raising enterprises and is a merchant at Navajo, Ariz. He will take his bride to Ken lucky for visit with relatives at his old home, returning through | the southern states, and after February 1st MT. and Mrs. Porter will be at home to their friends at Navajo.
 Following the congratulatory period last night. refreshments were served. Miss Zelma Howell, a cousin of the bride. presided at the punch bowl. The color motif of pink and blue was emphasized in the dainties. The wedding cake adornments were of those colors as were the bonbons served in dainty baskets tied with fluffy tuIIe bows, completing the pretty effect of the decorative ar engagement.

NICKELS ARE COUNTERFEIT
GoUernmentMdy Decide to Buy
 Numerous Counterfeit NickeIs

Following the announcement yesterday, by telegraph, of the governments intention to al once stop the circulation of the vast number of counterfeit buffalo nickels that have beer unloaded in Salt Lake by counter. feiters, the federal officials have been kept busy answering in- qulries as to what shall be done with such coins. As the local officers consider passing of these nickels against the law, even by lawful citizens who do not req lize that they are counterfeit, the only way of capturing the gang of counterfelters that is believed to have agents operating in the city, will be to place under suspicion every man who at tempts to pass the colns.
 HouU to Tell Them
 Because this method is neces- sary, the local government men request that every person having such coins examine them care fully. The good five-cent pieces
  have a sharply defined llne just over the five cents" under the buffalo; while the counterfeit coins are rounded over the five cents" mark.
 Even a careless inspection will show the difference, and in or der to prevent being suspected as a member of the ring it is a wise move, suggest the officers. tc keep all such coins until a de- cision is reached as to whether holders shall be reimbursed for them. Because there are so many Tn circulation and the fact that the banks have been accept ing them, the government tFea- sury department may decide to call them all in for a certain con- 
 Has Mdnu InouirieS
 That the ratio of one counter felt to every three buffalo nlckels is none too high an estimate is the opinion of Marshal Aqulla Nebeker. Marshal Nebeker has had many inquiries concerning the bogus coins from persons who stated they had found that at least half their fYe-cent pieces are different from the others. One man brought ten nickels to the marshal's office this morning that he said his small boy had been given yesterday while sell ing papers. The msrshal ex- amined them and found that all were counterfeit. Of eight buffalo nickels Tn the cash drawer of the Commercial club this morning three were counterfeit.
 No arrests have yet been made in the investigation of the dollar operations.

HOW HUERTA PREPARED FOR DEFENSE

brave boys Of Chapultepec. The
heroic youths of this famous school
flung themselves recklessly in the
path of General Scott's army in 1847
and were decimated. Scott's bold
Americans were stirred to admiration
by the way these young men from
the best families of Mexico went to
their deaths.
Huerta has, according to The best
information Of the United States war
department. at present 42.701 regu-
lar soldiers available for field duty.
These are scattered throughout the
republic in various towns and no
single division at the outbreak of hos
Titles with the United States COM
prised more than 5000. There we're
about 5000 troops in the district
around the capital and approximately
tho same number In the vicinity Of
Saltillo south of Torreon.
There was said to be about $500
troops in Sonora, $500 in Sinaloa. 800
in Topic, 5000 in Jalisco, LOO In
Columa. 4.500 in Zacatecas and 1880
in Guerrero.
On the Atlantic coast the forces,
before the seizure of Vera Cruz, were
reported to be 1880 in San Luis
Potost, 4,1co in Vera Cruz, and 1000
in Puebla. In addition to these there
were small detachments in various
southern states at the larger towns
on the Pacific ocean.
Huerta has not. 1t seems, pitted the
flower of his army against Villa and
Carranza. He will have good
nucleus for q defensive force II he
concentrates his regular army in tho
vicinity of Mexico.
The results Of other clashes be-
tween American and Mexican troops
proves the northerner Is immensely
superior man for man to the Mexican
soldier He has more intelligence. Is
usually in better physical trim and. II
not braver is possessed of a certain
dash and enthusiasm which carries q
long way
Besides the land forces enumerated,
Huerta has an insignificant navy of
which the fighting personnel consists
of 200 officers and enlisted men. The
whole Mexican fleet OF nine vessels
would not have the slightest chance
against single American warship OF
fairly up-to-date type.
In one branch of the service, ac-
cording to some accounts, Huerta is
superior to US. This is in aviation.
Just how many aeroplanes and hydro
planes he has Is not certain. but II
is admitted his force is much more
imposing than the pitiful exhibition
the United States can assemble. The
United States ranks, in point OF
aeroplane equipment, twenty-third on
the list Of nations, being well down
behind China. Belgium, Switzerland.
Brazil, Argentina and Morocco.
Huerta recently lost three aeroplanes
in a fire which swept his hangers.

In the Breckenridge field the Tono-

trically operated traction engine with
two big trucks to its plant.
A fifty-ton tube mill for the new
cyanide plant at the Free Coinage
company's estate, Cripple Creek, at
the town of Altman, is being set up.
A candid survey Of the mining situa-
tion in Colorado, predicated on the re-
suits produced during the first quar-
ter of 1914, indicates an unusually
prosperous year.
Edwin Gaylord, former resident Of
Denver, and known generally as an
extensive owner of racing horses, is

monthly from the recent strike in the
Dante, on Cripple Creeks Bull hill.
In Boulder county. despite heavy
SHOWS in the Ward gold district, the
White Raven group of mines is pro

Mining conditions are much i'm
proved throughout the Cripple Creek
district compared with what they were
ordinarily for the last three or four
years, according to the freely ex-
pressed opinions of dozens of we'll
posted mining operators.
Albert Hanson of Georgetown says
he has opened up his lease on the
Anamosa vein for lis feet, and that
there is a continuous streak of ore

that mills in car lots about 240 ounces
silver per ton and "a per cent lead.
The Calientes property, which was
recently discovered in the Fulford dis
trict of Eagle county by Weiskopf and

bonanza. The latest reports from
Eagle state that the ore carries ship
ping values in copper alone, running
from Is to 20 per cent.
There is no doubt that the summer
will see great renewal Of mining ac-
tivity in the Fulford district. For
many years the territory now in the
eye of the Eagle valley men has been
known to contain rich deposits in gold
and silver, but owing to unfavorable
conditions very little actual work has
been done.

The recent report that carnotite had
been discovered at a point near Garos.
in the South Park, has attracted much
attention in that country. 1t is stated
that two shafts have been put down,
and in one a drift has been driven
along the strike of the vein for about
twenty feet. Assays of the ore ran
as high as s25 per ton.
