coNeREssMEN ENDORSED

Never before in the history of Col
Qrado have the Democrats been more
united in its support of a national
administration than at present. This
was conclusively shown at our late
state assembly, when Messrs. Sell
domridge, Heating and Taylor were
designated. Except in the third dis
trict without opposition, and the
Hon. John A. Martin, towering above
the ranks of petty politics and poll
tical strife. withdrew his name in OPP
position to c. S. Thomas, the pres
ent United States senator and renom-
inee. The gifted and talented Charles
F. Few, of Weld county, whom the
state knows well, is amply able to
represent Colorado in our national
congress, withdrew as the opposing
candidate to Congressman II. ii. Sci
domridge.
Congressman Keating, of the third
district, has opposition in Judge E.
w. Mcdaniel, of La Junta, in the pri-
mary election. Congressman E. t.
Taylor of the fourth district, has no
opposition and his election is an as
sured fact. The party, as well as the
voters OF the state realize that those
men have not only supported the ad-
ministration in the passage OF just
laws, but have remained loyal to the
state and her every interest, and do
not wish to jeopardize the amdinistra
tion's chances by changing present
conditions.
As regards Congressman Keating's
opponent, MIR. Mcdaniel, we have nc
fault to find, but think 1t bad policy
to swap horses in the middle OF the
stream. Colorado's present delega'
ton In congress has sood loyal to the
president in his battles for the right
and the voter who considers the wei
fare Of his state and nation must nee
essarily vote for the return OF our
present delegation.

FATAL ACCIDENT
JOHN LEoNARpELLI sMoTHEREO
TO DEATH IN THE GALENA
MINE LAST SATURDAY.

A fatal accident occurred at the Gal
ena mine on Central City hill, with
in the corporate limits of the town,
last Saturday morning, in which John
Leonardelli lost his life.
The Galena mine has but recently
been leased to "a home pool, and they
had employed workmen to reopen the
mine preparatory to production. The
years had accumulated gas as far up
the shaft as the 200 foot level. Mr..
Leonardelli and his partners, who had
been working there several days, had
succeeded in cleaning the mine of gas
as far as the 400 foot level by Satur-
day morning, as light sent down to
the 375 station on the bucket came
up still burning. Leonardelli, instead
of taking his partner with him, went
down to the 375 station alone. His
footprints at this station show that
he had got out of the bucket at this
point, and perhaps had attempted to
go lower, when overcome by gas, and
had fallen to the station at the 500
foot level, where he was afterward
found with his head mashed into an
unrecognizable mass. Tie gas had
to be removed from the four to the
five during the day to get the body,
and it was three O'Clock the next
morning before the body was remov-
ed from the mine. The accident must
be largely attributed to himself, as
he insisted upon going down in the
bucket alone. His remains were TAX
en- in charge by Coroner Hamllik,
who removed them to the Harris un-
dertaking parlors and prepared them
for burial. Mr.. Leonardelli was OF
Austrian birth and was about 80
years old He was single man and
had been in this country about II
years and miner by occupation; He
leaves behind a brother and sister.
who live in Austria. His funeral was
held Tuesday morning from the Cath
olic church, and his remains buried
in the Catholic cemetery at Central

SOUTHWEST TRADE BRISK

st. Louis, No., August 3.-Hund-
reds of fall buyers, the advance'guard
of the men who pour into st. Louis
usually about the middle of August,
are here now purchasing all kinds of
merchandise. Depleted stocks have
chants having bought closely in the
spring and neglected to place any or
ders during the summer. The last
of the 1000 or 5000 buyers who visit
st. Louis each fall will be in town by
August 20. They usually begin arriv-
ing about August l, and hotels are
taxed to their capacity for several
weeks.
The early arrival of the buyers has
caused an odd situation in some Of
the large Washington avenue mer-
chandising houses. These buyers
have arrived ahead of the statesmen,
who usually stay out in the territory
until August 10. The sales managers
and floor managers and indoor sales
forces of the firms are booking large
"house orders. The chief buying is
in dry goods and shoe lines.
The buyers are from the st. Louis
trade territory which embraces the
states south. southeast, southwest
and west of St. Louis.
Robt. E. Lse. secretary of the Man
ayers Bureau Of the Business Mems
League. said yesterday that the local
merchandising firms were expecting
record business and considered the
early arrival of the buyers good
sign.
The outlook for the southwest is
especially promising for an era Of
prosperity. The merchandising firms
are greatly relieved at TIE turn af-
fairs have taken, and their reports
and reviews assert that the latter
part of 1914 will see great revival
of business.

This mine has fine plant OF machin
cry on the property, but wood had to
be used for steam, and the govern
ment refused to have their timber us

close. The shaft is 200 feet deep and
has a smelling streak s inches wide
that is worth $50 per ton, and
streak of concentrating ore from
10 feet wide. II the local pool takes

FOREIGN WAR WILL
BENEFIT PRICES

The chief topic of today is the war
In Europe, and what effect it will
have upon American industries, should
Europe become involved in general
war. 1t would most certainly be of
advantage to this country in many
ways. 1t would enhance the price of
all food stuffs, our steel mills would
all be running on full time, and all
manufacturers of arms and powder,
as well as high explosives, would be
kept busy. Wool would command
good price as it would be in great de-
mand abroad, and undoubtedly the
strengthened, as well as all other
metals, with the increased demand
for our products, would also come
an increase in wages in all lines, es-
pecially among the artisan class. Our
great corn and wheat crop now be-
ing harvested, would be advanced
in price many millions of dollars,
while other cereals would have cor
responding rise. Gold may flow from
US at first, but only for a short time,
as it must eventually return to us,
to pay for their necessities. There
fore we say that a foreign war of
such immense magnitude must nee
essarily be of benefit, financially, to
the United States.
Since writing the above, privateers
are driving commerce off the ocean,
silver is not saleable, and President
Wilson has issued a proclamation to
remain neutral as regards supplying

CASTLE ROCK RESUMES

The Castle Rock mine in Chase
gulch, that has been closed for the
past two weeks, resumed operations
Wednesday, morning, with Thos. Dun
stone of Black Hawk, superintendent
in charge. II is the intention of Mr..
Sauer, the owner, to work the winze
below the 400 foot level that has a
streak of concentrating ore from 212
TO feet wide, beside fine streak OF
smelling ore that returns 169 gold,
l1.2l silver, and 800 per cent lead on
company account. This winze In sink
ing returns $40 per foot, and values
this winze, which proves to be rich
concentrating ore returns over e1a
ounces gold to the cord. The Castle
Rock. being an exceptionally large
vein, has two distinct ore veins. The
one called the north vein, the
other the south vein. 1t is the inten-
tion of the management to sink the
main shaft an additional 300 feet,
that will undoubtedly reach the juno
tion of the two veins, as they near
each other as depth is gained. From
indications in the 400 level winze,
this 800 feet will prove exceptionally
rich ground. as the ore. bodies be-
come larger and richer as depth is
gained. The management has also
concluded to lease the mine above
the 400-foot level In blocks. The 400
800 and 200 levels have streaks OF
concentrating ore that run from
feet to In width. and of good
grade. The Ingersoll vein, belonging
to the group and connected with the
main workings OF the Castle Rock
will also be for lease. The manage
ment intends to hoist the ore for all
leasers and lease the ground on such
terms as will be beneficial to the
lessee, as well as the leaser. All
those wishing leases on the Castle
Rock mine,will please consult Thomas
Dunstone. superintendent. who has au
thority to make leases.
