Winter Camp Life
at Floresta

William Jameson and F. e. Son
ger came down from Ruby Monday,
returning Wednesday with the camp
mail of forty days accumulation.
They report depth of eight feet
of snow at Ruby and Keblar pass
which gradually decreases with the
altitude either wayfrom thesepoints.
The Inhabitants of the camp consist
of twenty men, seven women,
twenty-three children ranging in
age from ten days to sixteen years,
six mules, two cows and two dogs,
who, owing to sanitary conditions,
purity of atmosphere and water,
have so far, had little or no use for
the contents of DR.. Taylor's emer-
gency medicine chest.
The development work is progress
ing nicely under the directions of
Mine Boss James Jameson and con-
sists of the driving of a drainage
tunnel and a parallel slope, which
on completion will relieve the mine
Of surplus water, as well as serving
for a main air course, which will
enlarge the accessible territory and
is expected to increase the produc-
ton of the next run to about dou-
BILE that Of any previous year. Eve
ming diversions OF the snow-bound
inhabitants are music, dancing,
cards, checkers and snowshocing.
which divert the unemployed NOM
ents to profit and pleasure.
In putting in their winter sup
ply some showed a rather lack Of
knowledge and experience, For
instance" one lady ordered fifty
pounds of candy and only one sack
of flour, while old George Middle
toms order was one pair of socks,
a pair of dancing pumps and fifteen
gallons spirits formentis. How
ever by .judicfous exchanging among
the families, the supplies will not
be exhausted, excep. the wet goods"
before the whistle of the locomotive
will again be heard at the camp.

More New instruments

Another consignment Of new band
came in this week and
were added to tie already solid
musical foundation Of the Crested
Butte concert band. Much interest
is now centered in the development
of good band here and the MEM
bers are doing excellent work on
their respective instruments. An
additional order has just been sent
out and in all, the organization has
a ideal lineup and one not usually
found in a town band, and has
twenty five members.

Banks Good Showing

H. F, Thomas, deputy state
bank examiner, made regular
official examination of the Bank
Of Crested Butte on Monday last.
The inspection showed the insti-
tuition to be in condition highly
satisfactory to the state department
and very complimentary to its
officers. Mr.. Thomas is new
appointee to the responsible DOS
ition of bank examiner. He is
the second son of U. S. Senator
Thomas.

Snowshowing is the prevailing
pleasure of our young people at the
present time. The snow is in fine
for this sport and the
clear bright days we are having adds
greatly to the fascination of this
favorite winter pastime. Toboggan-
ing will also be in evidence and IA
number of the boys have ordered
a large tobaggan which will arrive
in a few days.

Scientific Scouting"
Replaces Old-Time
Prospecting


mating? Why is the old-time pros
pector passing away? Why are
state geological surveys preferable
to the United State Geological sur
vey? Why so much scouting"
by technically trained engineers?
These are frequent topics of dis
cussion in the mine office; in the
prospector's cabin it is daily the
subject for disquieting thought.
What the cause and what the rem
edy, if any, says The Engineering
and Mining journal.
According to one authority, prin-
cipal cause is the exhaustion of the
easily discoverable. easily developed
ore resources of the United States,
which has greatly reduced the oppor-
tunities of the prospectcr and OF
the mining operator ofsmall means.
This is not snddcn change, but j
onethat has been progressivethrough
many years. Ore discoveries We're
many and frequent in the '60s and
'7Os, fewer and less frequent in the
sos. and still more 80 in the '90s.
Since 1891 the only new mining
districts Of magnitude have been
Creed, Cripple Creek, Tonopah. i.
Goldfield, Cobalt, Porcupine and
the placer districts Of Alaska; no
great number for a period OF 20
years. The demand for good cop
per, lead and gold mines is no
less keen. Unfortunately, it is not
known where they are. We do
not mean to imply that there are no
more and that they will not be
found, but probably they are for
the most part 'deepllying deposits
whereof there is little or no surface
indication. deposits that await deep
and costly exploring before they
will be found.
The successful mining igeologist
or engineer employed by the larger
corporations is inclined to do his
financial thinking in terms OF six
or more figures and not in that OF
proportionnte profit. He is inclined
to measure u mine with standards
derived at the Bunker Hill & Sui
livan, the Utah Copper, the Home
stake or the Alaska Treadwoll, and
considers anything smallerunworthy
of attention. The small mine has
little place in his scheme of things.
He visits the property in question,
and, if impressed, samples it, stud
les its simmediate geology, and hastens
back to his Office to write his report.
Thence. he goes perhaps to another
quarter Of the globe. The condi-
tions of his employment are such
that he does little scouting while in
the district and much too often his
attitude of mind, due to his associ-
alton, precludes fair considern-
tionof anything but provedorebodiea.
Where then is the remedy? Who
can we getto make wise selections
of properties and to open them efii-
cieutly and well? The school tf
mines man or a man with equival-
ent training, well seasoned in the
school Of experience, in charge OF
development companies is the one.

Littcll Bros. Coal company have
now been cleared of snow and Tues
day the soft coal mine started pro-

uneasy lest coal famine prevail

CHAPTER XCI

I called on Mrs. Selwin this
afternoon. Mr.. Selwin, who Is the
president of Dicks firm, has done
more to make him think that a
wife can help her husband in his
business, II he will let her. than
all the talking I could do in a
month, and l know Mr.. Selwin
thinks this, because Mrs. Selwin
has proved herself such fine
wife to him.
presume Dicks father is more
to blame than his mother for
both his mothers utter incapa-
bility and the children's knowl-
edge Of the fact. He probably
never allowed her to talk to him
about business when they were
first married, and, while he has
grown from contact with the
world and the people he has met
in his business life, she has only
gotten the idea of trying to be
something more than she is with
no knowledge of how to do it.
American men of the middle
class have been called the best
husbands in the world, because
they work like galley slaves to
keep their wives in luxury. It has
become almost a disgrace for a
man to let his wife do any work,
either out of his home or in 1t,
and yet absolute idleness Is the
worst possible thing that can be
given to any human being.
l told something of this kind to
Mrs. Selwin and she, dear wise
woman that she is, said: Mar
garet, dear, l HAVE ALWAYS
THOUGHT OF HEAVEN AS A
PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY
UNDERSTANDS.
IAN the sorry and sin of the
world, dear, is made up of mis-
understanding, and the very great
est misunderstanding of all Is our
misunderstanding Of the value of
work as one Of the greatest COM
forts Of this world.
Sometimes I have thought"
and as she said this her old eyes
took on the look of seer, that
one reason why we look upon
work as a punishment instead of
a panacea Is because of that edict
that came down from the Garden
of Eden when the first man and
woman were driven out: BY the
sweat Of your brow shall ye live.'
WORK. my dear, IS THE
GREATEST BLESSING IN THE
WORLD. BY this I do not mean
the work by which men, women
and even little children are driven
like slaves, beyond their strength
for q mere pittance with which
to keep body and soul together,
for II every one; my dear, did his
share of the worlds work no one
would have to work beyond hts
strength. It is not necessary Tor
us women to do the same work
as men do. Indeed, most of us
have our service as wives and
mothers cut out for us, but every,
woman, my dear. must do somer
thing worth while. IL she be
worthy the name Of woman, she
must help her husband and ck.ss;.
rem to be something better thaa
they would be without her. =

EMPRESS

Every act but one on the EN-
press bill this week is a laugh-act.
The fun starts with Robert O'Con-
ner in his sensational playlet,
THE Stick-up Man." Although
the play is tense little drama,
1t is simply overrun with comedy.
Murray Bennett sings some
songs we'll, and some other songs
better. His Hebrew impersona-
tions are verify a scream. Kier-
man, Walters and Herman, in a
travesty on Macbeth" live the
atmosphere with some amusingly
rapid repartee.
Hazel Berke and Alex. Horae,
children who play and sing, are
almost out of place on the bill OF
comedy, but their act cannot help
but draw strong applause. The
Rossow Midgets are back with
their funny antics. circus stunts,
and slap-stick fun.
