BIG PLANS FOR DENVER

The Denver Chamber of Commerce
has outlined plans for the upbuilding
of Denver, and in all their plans
there is not one word said about min
ing, the only industry that keeps
Denver on the map. They propose
to raise 100000 for the California
exposition and, as nothing is said
about the miners, we naturally sup
pose they are going to raise that
small sum among the farmers that
they located last summer along the
dry Antero ditch. They are also 60
ing to annex Wyoming's trade terri
tory and let the mountains rest.
They are going to bring several
large manufacturing plants to Den
Yer and furnish their motive power
from the simeon winds that blow ovel
the prairies. They are also going to
stock the plains with cattle and fat
ten them upon the prickly cactus,
sage brush and buffalo chips.
They are going to ask Governor
Ammons to advertise farm lands and
irrigation at the expense of the state
and many other projects for Denver's
benefit. How much longer are we
to stand Denver's filings at our min
ing industry without resenting it?

HONEST OFFICIAL INDICATED

n the case of the people of the
state against James B. Pierce, Sec
retary of state, in refusing to file a
referendum petition on account of an
insufficient amount of names being
attached, the opposition press has
been loud in their denunciations of
the secretary and openly accused
humself and employees in the office
of deliberately destroying certain sec
tions of the petition, thereby bring
ing below the lawful requirements.
The case was recently tried in Divi-
sion Three of the district court for
Denver county and the court in every
particular sustained the contentious
of the defendant Thus is another
canard exploded regarding this com
petent official.

Mr.. Burns. ''LecoQ. late one night,

when, from a dark, Notwithstanding

Murder! Oh, heavens! Help!

1T was the work OF an instant for
LecoQ to vault the crumbling fence,
tear through the weedy garden and
thunder at the door of the mysterious

Emily Rolsinger, who has been alb

October on account of sickness, has
reentered and will finish the year.
Florence Henderson was absent
from school Wednesday,.
Christmas vacation has passed and
everyone reports pleasant holiday.
While none of the teachers from out
of town went to their homes, all
took advantage of the vacation to
visit other cities. Miss Mccormick
spent her two weeks in Denver, visit
ing relatives; Miss Anderson went
to Manzanella, where she taught last
year. Mr.. Hamilton yentured as far
as Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Mr.. Hamilton's vacation was one
day longer than he had expected.
His northwestern train into Omaha

Twelve Mile has ore that increases
in value as depth is gained. These
are some of the deepest mines in the
district and show that our true fis-
sures retain their values to the great
est depth explored. The value of Gill
pin county's output for the year 1913
was $1,214,542 and the year 1914 has
every promise of being banner year
throughout the state. Under the re-
cent ruling of the land office depart
ment regarding prospecting on the
public domain, many will be busy the
coming season prospecting for new
fields. Pitchblende, or radium, mines
will be sought for in the northern
part of the county, where radium,
tungsten and vanadium is known to
exist, and from present indications
season of prosperity awaits us. The
falling off in the production of t
worlds gold will stimulate the price
of silver, and perhaps lead to an IL
ternational conference for the remoni-
tiZation of silver at an agreed ratio
with gold, as gold alone can not long
back the worlds fast increasing
credits. Under all these favorable
auspices let us be a united people
and deal fairly with capital that is
bound to come to our county for il
vestment the coming summer.

regarded only as the appropriate coat

abroad as the morning coat and here

serious class of men the frock coat IL

Statesmen, bankers, lawyers and
ministers. in the words of the discrim
mating sartorial journal which has sug
gested this new and dignified use OF
the frock coat, are the men who will
in the future find 1t the last word IL

served to manhood but 1t is destined
to a more distinguished and glorifieC

MAKING HARBoR OF REFUGE
Congress Plans to Rob Cape Hatteras,
to Large Extent, Of Its
Perlls.

Gale off Hatteras" Is an entry made
by the captains of coastwise sailing
ships on almost every voyage. For
years Hatteras has been a place of
terror, If not to the mariner, certainly
to the passengers under his charge.
The old storm cape, however, is soon
to lose a. part of its fear. Man can
not stop the storms, but he is going
to provide for vessels to escape their
fury.
Sea captains notoriously are reti.
cent when passengers ask them ques.
tions.. No old sailor ever has been
gers that Hatteras is any worse than
a hundred other places on the coast,
and yet he knows that 1t is about as
bad a sea spot as can be found any
where in the whole broad expanse of
ocean So, while the questioners are
told that off Hatteras the water will
be as calm as anywhere else, captain
and crew always make things snug

1t will be the guarding wall of a
harbor of refuge, into the lee Of which
vessels can run for shelter when the
storms rage. This wall will rob the

by seagoers when they approach the
water zone which always has been
one of tumult.
Little by little man is trying to

go down to the sea in ships. He never
entirely can conquer the ocean, and
he knows it. It is perhaps the one
thing in nature which is absolutely
untamable.
The shipwrecks of Cape Hatteras
have numbered thousands. The sea
wall will provide means to save lives
and property, but the winds OF the
old storm cape still will rage and on
occasion work their will.

Judge Cooper Says Duty as a
Citizen Calls for Verdict in
Keeping with Evidence

That George Rufus Simmons and
James Frederick Field will not be
found guilty OF murder in the first
degree for the killing of Santos Mo-
rales, Porto Rican who was shot to
death at Wahiawa On June 80, 1913,
apparently is indicated in the attitude
of the prosecution of the case. which
began before Circuit Judge Cooper
this morning.
Though the jury which win sit in
the case is not yet completed. and the
prosecution, conducted by City and
County Attorney Cathcart, has three
peremptory challenges remaining, two
veniremen still on the jury openly
stated in court that they are opposed
to capital punishment. These are
Howard w. Adams and Capt. Fred
erick c. Miller. In the case of the
latter, the prosecution moved his dis
missal for cause, but the court denied
the motion.
I There is still the possibility that
both may be removed by peremptory
challenge. If they are not 1t is re-
garded as certain they will not vote
to convict either defendant of first
degree murder, for it would mean
hanging. Both jurors admitted they
would be guided entirely by the law
and the evidence in reaching verdict,
however. ...
In advising Captain Miller of his
duty in the matter, Judge Cooper
said: at is your duty as a citizen to
render verdict strictly according to-
the law and the evidence, regardless
of your own feeling in the matter. I
myself don't believe the law which re-
Guires capital punishment is o good
