BEZANT NINE

The Bezant Mining company, o.
j. Duffield manager, operating a group
of three patented claims in Leaven
worth gulch and on Quartz hill in
Russell mining district, have opened
UP a fine body of copper gold ore in
the 225 foot level, east from the
shaft on the Quartz mill lode. The
drift east ON the 225 level and
200 feet from the shaft. They have
a streak of solid smelling ore II inch
es wide. that assays, for first class
$40 OF, gold, $50 OF, silver and 179o
copper to the ton. Second class 500
OF, gold, $40 silver and 119o copper.
Third class 2.7O gold, $50 silver and
so copper. They also have lying
alongside of the smelling ore a body
of concentrating ore two and one
half feet wide, that assays in the
crude 80 gold and 8 OF, silver to the
ton. Since striking this body of ore,
Mr.. Duffield has driven the drift IA
feet and the ore bodies are getting
larger and of more value as the work
progresses. The management is now
engaged in driving the 160 foot level
ahead to penetrate this rich body of
ore on that level as the ore body on
the 225 extends both upward and
downward. Two electric power drills
are used in the development work.
The main shaft is down 500 feet and
is connected with the celebrated Cal
houn mine that has produced untold
wealth in early days. There is all
evidence to believe that this ore
body extends downwards indefinitely
as well as upwards to the surface,
west 225 level, when about It's feet
west of the shaft, manager Duffield
encountered a streak of pitchblende
Gre that is continuous as the drift
progresses. varying in width from one
fourth inch to two and one-half
inches wide of a good grade.
This mine is equipped with a large
and commodious shaft house and fine
plant of machinery, ore bins etc.
and everything Is in readiness to
economically handle the large tornage
of ore that will be sent to the sur
face in the future. This is another
cf Gilpin county mines that was idle
until obtained by Bezant people who
have explored it with success. There
are hundreds of idle mines in this
county. that If capital would invest,
would prove equally as good.

A WAR ATRociTY.

Mrs. r. C. Wider received a letter
a few days ago from her daughter.
Mrs. Theodore Revillon, who stated
that she would spend few weeks
with her husband in Paris, and then
return to London. Mrs. Revillon
mentioned that friend of hers had
received a letter from her husband
who was prisoner in Germany. in
which he stated that he was receiv-
ing the best kind of treatment, and
was enjoying himself. He concluded
his letter with the request that the
stamp on the letter be preserved, as
he wished TO add it to his collection
OF stamps after the war was over.
The stamp was removed from the
letter and ON the under side of II
was written: "They have cut off botl
my feet and torture me daily" -

DOGS TO HUNT MOUNTAIN LIONS

A pack of eight trained hunting
dogs, have been taken TO Estes park
where they will be used this winter
to hunt predatory animals in and
around the park. Last winter the
depredations to game and livestock
in that vicinity were so serious as
to cause the ranchers and stockmen
to seek the aid of the forest service
to check their inroads. Because of
this request. the service has tLis year
assigned an experienced forest ranger
from the Rio Grande to the Colorado
national forest to devote his time
exclusively to hunting predatory an
imals in the region of Estes park.
The forest service has employed
special hunters on many of the for
ests in Colorado, Wyoming. and
South Dakota during the past. but
this is the first time, It is said. that
so many trained dogs have been EN-
ployed in any one instance. The re-
suits will therefore be watched with
considerable interest. TE1ee dogs
are experienced hunters and have
been procured with considerable diff
ficulty, seven OF them coming from
, various parts Of Colorado. and one
from Wyoming.

EVILS OF DANCING
PASTOR OF M. e. CHURCH SAYS
PUBLIC DANCE HALL is A
GREATER MENACE TO SOCIETY
THAN THE SALOON.

Dancing is the spur of mst,-a
circle of which the devil himself is
the center. .'-Petrarch.
Rev. Mr.. Hyndman, of the NJ. E.
church preached a very forceful SER
mon Sunday evening on the evils OF
dancing and more particularly the de-
moraliztng influences of the public
dance hall. His discourse was re-
plete with astounding facts, and sta
tistics We're frequently quoted to
show the growing menace to society
of a pastime which has been discour-
aged by many of the best people as
one of the worst forms of social
amusements. In ancient times dan
cling as religious service was be-
fore and to the Lord; in modern days
it has been made dissipating
pleasure for and to the devil.
Public dances open the door to vice
and to insidiously and at first un-
consciously, lead the young and mex
perienced away from the paths of
purity and virtue. In addition to the
associated dissipation, late hours, i'm
proper dress, etc, dancing has a
direct influence in stimulating the
passions, provoking unchaste desires,
, which too often lead to unchaste acts
and in themselves are the violations
of the requirements of strict moraIi-
ty, productive OF injury both morally
and physically.
The evil associated with dancing
may not be apparent on the sur
face, but there is a drawing under
current that pulls the innocent to the
very depths of degradation and dis
grace. Statistics show that in this
country alone OF the 500, 900 women
who are selling their souls for i'm
moral purposes, 100000 of them at
tribute the commencement of their
downfall to dancing. AS one woman
writes of her experience on dancing.
the injury OF the amusement is clear
ly defined:
Il am speaking openly and frankly,
and when l say that l did not ln-
derstand what l felt, or what were
the real and greatest pleasures / de-
rived from this so-called dancing, l
expect to be believed. But if my
checks grew red with uncompre-
hended pleasure then, they grow pale
with shame today when l think OF
it all. 1t was the physical emotions
engendered by the contact of strong
men that l was enamored of.-not
OF the dance, nor even of the men
themselves"
Rev. Mr.. Hyudman declared that
workers in the social reform move
ment found the pubic dance hall a
far greater obstruction than the sa-
loon. He said the saloon could be
fought in the open, whereas the in
fluences of the dance hall were diff
cult to overcome before lasting injury
had been done. He criticised one of
the protestant churches for giving
public dance so soon after the re-
vivals of Dan Shannon, which were
intended to purify the social atmos-
phere of the community.

SUICIDE OF JOHN KuRI

John Kuri an old time resident of
Central City, committed suicide in
Denver last Sunday by blowing a
hole in his head with stick of
giant powder. Mr.. Kuri had been
in falling health for several years
from miners complaint, and about
three weeks ago left Central City
for Denver intending to spend the

WHAT THE FIGURES PROVE

The unofficial list of members of
the next house of representatives, as
compiled by the clerk and sent to the
public printer, gives 233 Democrats,
1913 Republicans, Progressives, In
dependent and l Socialist
This is Democratic plurality of 40
over the Republicans and Democrat
ic majority of 81 over ALL 1t is not
only great majority as any party
ever needs in congress but it is as
great a majority as any party ever
ought to have
If any Republican believes that
| this reduced Democratic majority in
the Sixtyfourth congress means the
election of Republican president in
1916, he is entitled to whatever meas
ure of comfort he can derive from it (;
but he will obtain no consolation from
the records of congress during the
last twenty years.
In 1898, following the great McKin-
ley victory or 1896, the Republican
/ plurality in the house was reduced to
% and the Republican majority was
cut to 13; yet in 1900 the Republican
vote for president was greater than
in 1896 and the Democratic vote was
smaller.
In 1902 the Republican plurality in
the house was reduced to 32 and the
Republican majority to 30;yet in 1900
Mr.. Roosevelt's popular plurality over
Judge Parker was little matter of
2,545,515. In 1906 the Republican
house majority of ia in 1904 was
reduced to 5S.
By the time the election of 1916 is
held, the policies of the Wilson ad-
ministration will have had a fair test
The new tariff will have been in op-
GRAFTON three years. The new bank
ing and currency law will have been
in operation two years. The Clayton
amendment to the Antitrust law will
have been in operation two years
Business, commerce and industry will
have had time to adjust themselves
to new conditions created by legisla-
tion that has been demanded by all
parties for many years.
A thousand things can happen be
tween now and election day in 1915
to turn the tide of popular favor; but
there is nothing in the returns this
year to indicate the defeat of Presi
dent Wilson for reelection. His ad
ministration has passed through
its critical period. 1t has kept it,
pledges and redeem ed its promises
In the Sixty.four congress it will have
an increased majority in the senate
and an adequate working majority ir
the house.
Mr.. Wilson has Jared better thar
Mr.. Mckinley did in 1898 or than MIR
Roosevelt did in 1902. He has faret
nearly as well as Mr.. Roosevelt die
in 1906. What more could the Demo
cratic party expect?
The Republican partisans who twis
the diminished Democratic majorit.
into certain indication of Demo
cratic defeat in 1916 must believ,
that William Mckinley was defeated
in 1900, that Theodore Roosevelt wal
defeated in 1904 and that William II
Taft was beaten in 190S.-New Yorl

AMONG THE MINES
RICH ORES IN DEEP WORKINGS

Robert Sayre, manager of several
mining properties in this county, now
being operated through the Big Five
and Newhouse tunnels whose portals
are at Idaho Springs, is busy now
adays letting leases. He has four sets
OF lessees working on the Lake mime,
near the breast of the Big Five tun-
mel, all of which are in good pay.
He has also recently let several
leases on the Kansas, Concrete and
Burris veins, cut in the Newhouse
tunnel, that is driven under Russell
gulch and Central City. Everywhere
you go in these deep workings, one
sees large and rich streakS of gold
ores. Several wines are now being
sunk below the tunnels level, and
in each of these the ore becomes
richer as depth is gained.
The country lying between Prosser
gulch and Pewabic mountain in this
county, is proving to be veritable
treasure vault, that is being pierced
by the Big Five and Newhouse tun-
aels at a depth of over 1000 feet be-
meath the surface. This vast ex-
panse of territory has been mined
over fifty years at the surface and
many millions of dollars worth of
gold was taken from the surface
workings on Quartz hill and in Rus
sell gulch. After the surface was
worked to a depth of several hundred
feet, the water became SO trouble
some that many of the mines were
abandoned for want of proper facil-
ities to handle the water. The New
house tunnel was driven to drain
these mines, and discover ore, but
unfortunately was driven in barren
zone, and the lodes where cut, were
not of very promising nature, and
no work was done at drifting on a
majority of the veins for many years.
Manager Sayre, about two years ago
began drifting on his Lake property
IN the Big Five tunnel, with the re-
at work, employing large force of
men who are working on good pay
ore.
MIR. Sayre is now letting leases on
his Quartz hill properties, working
through the Newhouse tunnel, and
several are now in good pay ore.
The continued richness of these
veins with great depth, and the in
creased size of the pay streaks, have
exploded the old fallacy that our
mineral veins play out with depth, as
sd 1000 feet below than at the sur
face. If idle capital wihses a safe and
quick return on their investment, let
them invest in Gilpin county mines.
