PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

All the services of Sabbath, Sep
tember 18th, were we'll attended and
those present seemed to enjoy what
was offered. Both the Sabbath school
and the Young Peoples evening SER
vice showed a decided increase in at
tendance-indicating that the work
of these arms of the church will be
more than ordinarily effective.
The Y. P. S. C. E. will give an I'M
migrant social at the church, Friday
evening, September 18th. This will
be the get togeti ell" occasion at
the beginning of the winter season,
and from~present indications will be
rafting fun time. The plan pro-
vides that anyone who will come
dressed to represent an immigrant
Just arriving from some (his own
choice as to nationality country. He
Will be received by government ofii-
GERS at the branch of the Ellis Is
land Receiving Station, and If proper
| ly clothed and duly qualified will be
admitted free. Insane. criminals ard
paupers, being barred from such ad-
mission by U. S. law, and all not IN
immigrant or native dress or cos
tune or wearing an emblem of tbs II
nationality, will tie charged ten cents
admission. Refreshments served with
out charge.
The regular morning services-Bi-
BILE school at ten and public worship
at IL o'clock-and tie evening Y. P.
S.. C. E. service at six o'clock will be
held as usual next Sunday. For the
morning public worsl ip study OF
the First Epistle of John will be had

Field Marshal Sir John French, wEo
is in charge of the British Exred.t-
ionary forces in the great Europea
war, is well known in Central City
and Gilpin county, where he has
been a frequent visitor on business
in connection with lis minirg inter
ests. He is most prominent figure
in the present war and his friends
here hope that lie will pass through
the conflict without injury, and dis
tinguish himself in the service of
his country. Sir John is as pleasant
and affable as he is brave and cour-
ageous and is that type of man and
soldier of which the Neither country
can well feel proud.

A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

There can be no doubt but that the
United States, and especially that
portion comprising the Rocky Noun
tain region, that produces our goSd
and silver, will be especially benefit
ed by the present European disturb
ance. The war now being waged
has demonstrated that there is not
sufficient gold to carry on the worlds
commerce and some method must be
devised whereby a greater circulat-
ing medium is not only necessary,
but imperative. AS is the case at
all times, VIXEN disturbance Of any
nature affects the country, gold at
once goes into hiding and money be-
comes a scarcity, and not only gov
ernments, but the individual suffers
from higher rates Of interest, prices,
etc. Statistics from all gold produc-
ing countries are to the effect that
the amount of gold mined is decreas-
ing from year to year, and as the
worlds population is rapidly increas'
ing, it becomes obvious that more
money of legal tender must be coin
ed to meet the demand.
From the earliest history, silver
was placed alongside that of gold as
money metal and circulating med
ium for the discharge of debt. The
Ancients recognized these two met
ais as the lawful money of their res
pective realms, and more modern ma
tions continued this recognition un
til England demonetized the white
metal some forty years ago, and one
by one other nations have followed
until but very few of the nations
of the earth recognize silver as {
money medium, except as an auxil
iary in fractional currency.
With the present great war IL
Europe, and gold rapidly going into
other coin is necessary, and tha
metal as heretofore Will be silver
England was. tie first to demonetizt
silver, and all signs point that sh'
will be among the first to remonetiz'
it at certain ratio through
necessity. A bright future seems t.
be before us, and ere long we ma!
expect to see our dormant and de
serted silver camps TEEN with pros
perity as Of yore.

The bureau of eng aving is turning

There was never a time in the his
tory of Colorado when the Demo-
cratic party had such an abundance
OF good material before the primar-
les, and many an able candidate fail
ed OF nomination simply because only
one candidate can be placed upon
the election ballot. Miss Agnes
ODay, of Boulder, made an excep-
tionally good race for secretary of
state, notwithstandir she was the
first female candidate who was ever
placed upon a Democratic ticket for
this important position.
Gilpin observer., 1914-09-17

The Republican party in Colorado
has a strange combination to con-
front the voter of that party this
fall. Their candidate for governor
has Joined hands with Mclaughlin,
the chief of the prohibitionists. there,
fore allying his party to that inter
est. John f. Vivian is to deliver tie
standpat element. while Bowers OF
the c. F. & /. is to marshal the cor
porations. This Is already splitting
the party because the liquid that
stimulates the nerve Is essential at
all corporation board meetings to pro
duce a ready flow of wit and chican-
cry SO necessary to pulling off their
stunts on the dear people.

81 really forget whether England
has notified us of a declaration of
war;" said Secretary of State Bryan
the other day. These war declara-

me of this story:
"A young Lady went to her attor-

for breach of promise. TIE attor-
neys proceeded to draw up the pap
ers. What is the gentleman's name"
they inquired. We'll, really, | forget,

been recognized by all authorities for
some time that there was growing
scarcity of all metals to meet the
ever increasing demands of tie
worlds consumption. The sources of
supply are failing with no new
fields of Importance being discover
ed Coupled with this situation the
occurrence of great war, the prog
ress of which is practically certain
to be prolonged for a considerable
period, will add materially to the
demand while still further l5ssening
the supply. Now should be the very
best possible time to secure posses
sion of productive mining intere is.
