Since the beginning of the year
the market has shown a steady i'm
provement and indications point to a
renewal, of business and an increas-
ed feeling of optimism among the
investing public. We feel that at
last the long period of stAgnation
has passed, and we look for con-
tinued Improvement as the year ad-
vances, and urge Mr.. Investor not
to hesitate in taking advantage of
mining that reaps the golden har-
vest. = Grant, Duncan & Co., New
York.
Let us, as citizens of Gilpin coun-
ty, be up and doing, and be ready
to welcome Miss Prosperity when she
makes her debut to Colorado. Our
sister county, Clear Creek, has al
ready formed county organization,
and all the mining counties in the
state are doing likewise. We have
the richest radium mines on earth.
Our county at the present time is
attracting more attention than any
county on the face of the earth. Then
let us be in the van of business, in
stead of letting our feet hang over
the tailboard of the chariot of pros
perity, and drag in the gutter of idle
ness.

CONTINUED from page II

The greatest surprise was fer here
when the announcement was made. II
was officially stated that cancellation
of the kaisers plans for the Austrian
trip came as the result OF slight in
disposition which has attacked the
aged emperor Of Austria and that 1t
was not deemed advisable In his pres
emit agitated condition that further
strain Of entertaining the kaiser
should be placed upon him. To. this,
the Official explanation went on, the
kaiser agreed. 1t was generally adj
mitted here today that only the grav-
est reasons could have prevented the
visit OF the German emperor, Austria's
closest ally, to tie funeral OF the heir
to the Austrian throne. The fear Of
anarchistic activities II widely re-
garded as the only adequate explanar
ton.
