OFF AGAIN, ON AGAIN

After months of watchful waiting.
Months of hope not once abating,
Our main trunk line has again,
Given US another train.
The C. & S. railroad that traverses
the most romantic valley of ever
changing scenery known to the wes-
tern hemisphere, where the tourist is
whisked in the short space of two
hours. from an elevation of one mile
to that of nearly ten thousand feet;
where the invigorating breezes sing
their sweet lullabys to the agile
mountain lion and the grizzly bear OF
the Rockies; and where Dame Ma
ture has carved images that will be
as lasting as Ben LSndsey's treachery
to Colorado.
Hereafter there will be two passen-
ger trains daily, leaving Denver at
$40 a. m. and 1920 p. m. on week
days. On Sundays the evening train
will leave Denver at 6:20 p. IN. dur
ing the summer months. Trains will
leave Central City at 6:55 a. m. and
1886 p. m. until further notice.
Frank McGinnis. the ever courte-
Gus and jolly agent of the c. S.
railroad, whose manly proportions,
when once viewed.are never to be for
gotten, has returned to be with us
during the cool and delightful sum-
mer months.
Robert Terrill, the polite and OBJ
liging fireman on the C. & S. II. R.,
better known as the Beau Brummel
OF the system. has returned to his
old position.
A. f. Drury. chief dispatcher of the
c. & S. r. r.. visited Central City on
Sunday on business matters connect
ed with the railroad.
Orson Clark is again at his old Job
as breakman on the Black Hawk di-
vision of the Huckleberry Special,
Robert Taylor having been transfer
ed to Golden.
Harry Greaves has been returned
as egineer on Engine No. 81.
Chas. Sandstrom. the ever affable
conductor, has been retained as chief
conductor under the new management
on account of his winning ways, max
ing custom and ducats for the COM
pany during the tourist season. as
every lady tourist is 10th to leave
the state until she has taken trip
into the mountains on Charles train.

FOREST RESERVE

The Observer gives publicity to
correspondence had with Cong. Keat-
ing pertaining to prospecting in the
forest reserve, which will prove of
wide interest to prospectors in Colo
rado. The impression has prevailed
that the restrictions on prospecting
on the reserve were such that pros
pectors were practically prohibited
The letters from Mr.. Heating and Mr.
Potter explain fully the privileges of
the prospector and assure him that
he will not be prevented from seek
ing mineral land in the national for
ests. Following is Mr.. Keating's let
ter and below is that of Mr.. Potter:
my dear Stull:
Il am enclosing you a letter from
the acting forester in response to
your communication of May 18.
think it would be well to give con-
siderable publicity to this letter in
order that prospectors may become
familiar with the attitude Of the for
est service.
"A good deal of nonsense has been
printed concerning the refusal of the
department to permit development of
our mineral lands.
II think prospectors should go on
in the forest reserves and act on
the theory that the forest service
will give them a square deal Then
If they are subjected to unjust treat
ment. they should appeal to their rep
resentatives in Washington.
Personally l will be very glad to
take up specific instances and do
what can to see that the prospector
Is given real chance in Colorado.
with best wishes, remain,
Sincerely yours,

MINING IS A
SAFE INVESTMENT

II is peculiarly characteristic of the
camp has passed through it's boom
days no matter If it's future condi-
tions may be more stable and prof.
liable, you cannot interest the in
vestor as readily as you could when
all was expectation with little realiza-
tion.
One of the greatest gold camps
ever discovered was Goldfield, New
ada, where millions of dollars chang
ed hands in speculative way.
When the excitement was at it's
height, it was an easy matter to fl
NANCE any prospect, but as things
settled down to a legitimate basis,
the adventurer and speculative class
withdrew to seek other and new
fields. Goldfield today, in a quiet
way, is producing more values from
Mother Earth than in her palmy days
of excitement. yet it is hard to get
capital interested, because the day
of excitement has passed.
Such is the condition of Gilpin
county.
When the report of our marvellous
rich mines was heralded to the world.
capital rushed to this golden Eldor-
ado, only to remain as long as ex-
citement and speculative projects re-
manned. After fifty years of con-
/ Ynip
as large bodies of ore, as were ever
uncovered in it's palmy days, and a
safe and steady income could be
reaped from investment. But the day
of excitement has passed. and with
it the spirit of the adventurous in
vestor.
The northern portion of Gilpin
county is practically all virgin ground,
with innumerabl veins of gold, silver
and tungsten, traversing her noun
tain ranges. The mines so far dis
covered and developed are not only
rich in gold, but are large and con-
1 tinuous. The London mine, recently
opened up in that section, has a vein
of ore from four to seven feet wide
of a good grade. and there are sew
eral adjoining claims now being work
ed that show equally as good.
| AS We have heretofore pointed out
from government statistics, that gold
and silver mining companies for the
first 4our months of the present year,
returned greater dividends than oil,
steel or manufacturing of any kind,
we can, with feeling of safety. in
vite capital to invest in this locality,
where there is no boom or wildcat
investment. There are three new
mills going up this season in this
vicinity for the treatment of ores
from mines already discovered. Idle
capital can find no better place for
safe investment than in the gold
and silver mines in northern Gilpin

Rr The rnited Press.

WEST ORANGE, n. j., Dec. To-
with the exception Of one structure
the $7,OO0.0OO plant OF the Thomas A..
Edison Company. which was supposed
TO be the very last word in fireproof
construction. is today a smoking mass
of ruin and debris
Eleven of the fifteen stone and con-
crete buildings which comprised one
section of the great plant were gutted
by fire which swept through them
aided by a series of chemical explo-
sions that ripped out walls like paper.
Three other buildings are mere shells.
The laboratory, of all the buildings
remains today with but few scars of
the flames. Firemen poured tons OF
water on it in a successful effort to
save its priceless contents of patents
and inventions. II was under the
great inventors personal direction
that this was done.
OF the 1000 employees in the plant,
nearly 5000 were out of work today
They will be taken back as soon as
the buildings are rebuilt Five mil
lion dollars represents the complete
loss. BY a cooperative insurance
plan. Edison, who owned the property
outright. saved S2.000.000.
That no loss of life resulted was at
tributed to the efficient system of fire
drill on which the inventor has al
ways laid great stress.
It was not until after daylight TO-
day that street car traffic and rail-
road service which was interrupted by
the network Of fire hose, was re-
sumed.
Prominent builders and construc-
ton experts today expressed as much
amazement over the burning of tht
plant, as was expressed in shipping
circles over the loss of the Titanic
which was thought TO be as safe as
land" The plant comprised the larg
est group of concrete buildings in the
United States. Photographs of the
buildings had been made by the Fed
eral and State governments, anC
shown all over the country as a mos
perfect example of fire proof con
