KEEPING THINGS DARK.

A good many editors are said not
to know much. The trouble is, they
know lot of stuff that they don't
tell. They know who gets soused and
they know the ladies who deviate
from the straight and narrow path
of rectitude, and the boys who smoke
in the alleys and dark places, and
the girls who are out auto riding un-
til the roosters crow for daylight.
They know the fellows that are good
to pay and they know the fellow that
cannot get trusted for tobacco sack
full of salt. They could guess at once
why some fellows are as they are and
they can guess closely what they do
to make themselves SO. They know
enough to make one of the red-hot-
test, rip-snorting, high-geared, triple
action, cEain-lightning editions you
ever read. hut they also know it is
best for the community and themsel-
yes to let the law take care of hu-
manity's development and publish
such news that will do to read in the
house. Editors generally pursue this
policy and thereby live longer and
get more enjoyment out of life.-Ex.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

At the late election in Maine, Oak
ly c. Curtis, Democratic candidate for
governor, received $4,000 votes;
Haines. Republican candidate. receiv-
ed $4,000. and Gardner, Progressive,
received $4,000. In 1912 Wilson re-
ceived 81 600, Roosevelt $4,000 and
Taft $4,000. The Republicans claim
gain to their column of $4,000 votes
in the last two years, but these fig
ures are misleading. inasmuch as the
Progressives had no state ticket in
the field in 1912, that party voting
with the Republicans in that cam
paign on state issues This year the
Progressives formed state party
and cast $4,000 votes for governor.
The Republican gubernatorial vote,
instead of gaining in the last two
years, has decreased by some $4,000
votes and the Progressives have
gained $4,000 votes.

PROVEN TO BE SAFER AND
MORE PROFITABLE THAN RAIL
ROAD, MERCANTILE OR OTHER
LINES OF BUSINESS.

The time was when mining was
considered hazardous business and
capital was loath to invest in any
thing that savored of mining. This
distrust arose from the fact that un-
principled operators would stock
worthless mines, and unload this
worthless stock upon the inexperien-
ced and unwary, until our govern
ment passed laws making such trans
actions felony.
People are now beginning to real
ize that mining has no greater risk
than any other business pursuit, and
when legitimately conducted is con-
ducive to better results than other
lines of business.
The recent great swindle in the
Hartford and New Haven, and the
Boston and Maine railways in which
the stockholders lost millions of dol
lars, furnish an example of the in
security Of railroad stocks. The coun-
try has gone wild over irrigation and
thousands have lost their all by in
vesting in worthless stock. In this
state alone it is said that over sew
enty million of dollars have been
lost in the last few years. Millions
of dollars have been lost in this and
other western states in sinking
busters" or dry oil wells, and in
Vulnerable failures are constantly
taking place in banking and mer-
camille pursuits.
Mining for the precious metals,
when good judgment is properly ex-
ercised, has never proven unfriendly
to man. The floods in their seasons
may inundate and destroy our crops.
Pestilence may lay waste the bovine
herds that Craze upon the thousand
hills, the insect pest of the AL
mighty's creation, may destroy our
bounteous fruit crops in the twinkle
Of an eye, but these everlasting min
eral hills have never refused their ac-
customed yield when properly man
aged and judgment exercised.
Through mining in Colorado and
other western states, many of the
great estates of the nation have been
created. Tie vast estate of the Gug-
genheim family that now controls the
smelling interest of the world, was
created from the carbonite mines at
Leadville, Colorado. The colossal for
tune of United States Senator Will
lam NJ Clark, the Copper King
of Butte, Montana, was founded in
the Central City gold mines. Many
OF the multi-millionaires of Denver
and Colorado Springs made their
wealth in the Cripple Creek mines.
The gold mines about Central City
have been worked for over half a
century without signs of exhaustion,
and those at Cripple Creek have been
worked for quarter of a century
and still produce over a million dol
lars per month. Money interested in
legitimate mining pays a greater per
cent upon. the investment than in
any other line of business, and the
money thus made is taken from the
bowels of Mother Earth legitimately,
without injury to our fellow man.
There is no place where money can
be invested more profitably than in
Colorado mining. especially if invest
ed in mines about Central City and
Gilpin county.
