CAPITOL HILL
CHANGING THE BLANKS
IN CORPORATION REPORTS
Beneficial Changes for State and Cor
poration Are to Be Made by Au-
ditor General Powell for the Next
Year

Important changes, beneficial alike
t. the : e nd to the corporations
affected, have been made in the forms
of some of the blanks furnished to com
panies for tine making of capital stock
reports to the Auditor General. The
greatest differences are in the blanks
for the use of manufacturing compa-
nies and of companies engaged in the
transportation, telegraph, telephone or
electric hight business. Blanks for the
use of corporations of other classitica
tions would have been radically changed
this year but for lack of time. During
the next tax year the Auditor General
will consult with the officers of such
companies with a view 10 the making
of such alterations as will enable them
to make reports at once more satisfac-
tory to the department. and easier OF
preparation by the corporations.
Changes already made were decided
upon after the Auditor General had
consulted with the officers of number
of corporations, with the accountants
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and with the Federal income tax
accountants. They make reporting to
the Auditor General an easy matter for
companies which have arranged their
bookkeeping TO meet the accounting
standards of the Federal officers. Fur
ther, the new forms are so devised as
to dovetail with the standard of the
Pennsylvania Public Service Commis-
sion.
One entirely new form of capital
stock report blank has been introduced
this year. 1t is to be used by distilling
and brewing companies and follows al
most exactly the form of the blank for
manufacturing corporations, except that
it does not provide for petition for
exemption under the act of June g.

and distilling companies are not en-

RETURN TO BIMETALLIsM

AS the war in Europe progresses,
it becomes self-evident that the
world must have more coin to protect
its large and increasing credits. The
credit of nearly every country today
is backed by gold alone, and every
day it becomes more evident that
European countries as we'll as the
United States, must rehabilitate sill
yer as a money metal. The noun
tains of the United States lying to
the westward Of our great agricultur
al plains, are filled with gold, silver
and other metals, that need only the
encourag g!ng hand of our government
10 furnish much of this needed ,ex-
ority to lend their great powers in
many ways towards bringing these
hidden treasures TO light and place
them on the worlds market to re-
lieve the perplexities that now Grip
pie commerce. Gold and silver have,
from time immemorial. passed down
through the ages. side by side as
money medium to cancel all debts,
be they public or private. The de-
mon etization of silver in the United
States in 1872 was brought about
through teachery, in the amending of
the laws relating to coinage, whore
by the authorizing OF the coinage of
the silver dollar of 112ha grains was
dropped from the bill.
Since 1893, when the Bland-Allison
purchasing act was repealed by con-
gress. and gold being made the only
standard of value, the world has been
suffering for standard money to sus-
tain her fast increasing credits, un-
til now gold is at a premium that
spells distress to the whole civilized
world. Let the Interior department
return to the same rulings that gov
erned prospecting on the public do
main for gold and silver from 1872 to
1893, that gave the prospeotor en-
couragement and return to a bime-
talhc basis, and it will not be long
before new Aspens. Leadvilles and
Cripple Creeks will be discovered.
and the wealth again flow from
these mountains to stem the money
stringency of tie civilized world.

bits, the San Diego Exposition en-
ters on the last lap of the pre-open-

gates will once more be thrown open
and at midnight, with the arrival of
1915. a telegraph flash from the
White House and tie boom of the
guns on the battleships in the bay of
San Diego will open officially the
first all-year Exposition in history.
President Wilson will not be in San
Diego on New Years day and the
telegraphed signal must serve as a

months later. according to informa-
tion frcm Washington. the president
will pass through the Panama canal
with the fleet of American battleships
and proceed up the coast to San
Diego, the first port of call, for a
two-day stay at the exposition. He
will then move on to the north for
the sister exposition at San Francis

BUILD UP COLORADO

The farming representatives should
tatives this winter and legislate for
such laws as will be of most benefit
to the entire state without regard
to section.
While We are willing to admit that
Colorado has farming land and soil.
that when properly irrigated will pro-
duce the most prolific crops in agri-
culture and horticulture to be found
in the United States, yet of what
avail is it if you have no market? The
great agriculture and fruit belts.

produce enough to supply the country
to the east and south, California sup
plies the Pacific coast states, and the
farmer of Colorado must depend upon
her population for a home market
The more densely the state is pop
ulated, and especially that portion
known as our sterile mountains, the
more demand there will be for home
products. Mining has ever been the
great industry of the state, as it pro-
duces the gold and silver that is so
necessary for the farmers success.
The great bulk of the manufacturing
in Denver is in mining machinery and
supplies. The great steel works at
Pueblo that employ thousands of
workmen. are wholly dependent on
our coal and iron mining. The large
and costly government building at
Denver that holds nearly a half bill
lion dollars of Uncle Sans" money.
was constructed fer the safe keeping
of the wealth taken from these grand
old mountains.
The western slore this year, pro-
duced one of the greatest crops of
apples and peaches ever known, but
much of 1t was allowed to rot and
waste. simply because there was no
market. Let our incoming legisla-
ture repeal existing laws that are
now killing the mining industry, and
assist in populating tie mountains by
passing laws favorable to mining.
the industry that can be depended
upon to make Colorado great state.
and the farmers will not only have
ready market fer their products.
but will foster an industry that must
supply the world with that which re-
lieyes credit.

OF
G|LP|h COUNTY

Gilpin county, where gold was first
discovered in the Rocky mountains.
has had wonderful and. eventful
career in the past half century.
Fifty years ago it was the mecca
where people from all portions of the
globe turned their wandering foot-
steps. Gold, the mteal that ever al
lures and infatuates man, had been
discovered in paying quantities at.
Gregory point, and the news of this
discovery was soon flashed to the
uttermost ends of the globe. People
flocked to tie new diggins by the
thousands, and from our golden sur
face quartz, millions of dollars worth
of gold was extracted to swell the
nations wealth. Many there were.
who made a satisfactory fortune in
a few months and returned to their
native home to enjoy the comforts of
life thus afforded, among their kins-
men. For many years thereafter the
pendulum OF success swung to the
side of prosperity. When our shafts
were sunk into the sufphides. and our
ores became refractory, and refused
to yield to the treatment then in
vogue, many there were who believed
that the mines had become exhaust
ed and removed to other fields With
the coming of sulphide ores, came
also men to make a study of its
treatment, and erected smelters for
the COLDS extraction
From that day until recently it has
been claimed by some that the val
ues decreased with depth, and ult-
imately gold mining in this county
would be abandoned. But the several
de p drainage tunnels that have cut
our fissures at depth of over 1000
feet below the surface, bear convinc-
ing proof that they all improve, both
in size and value, as depth is gained,
and has created an impetus in min
ing that is restoring the county to
its former greatness, as the banner
gold producing county of the state.
The next decade will undoubtedly sea
the greatest production of gold from
Our deep workings the county has
ever enjoyed, and many a millionaire
of the future will be created.

1t is understood tie North Ameri
can Smelling and Mines Co., held
a meeting in New York Tuesday of
last week in regard to starting up
the Golden smelter and developing
the immense holdings of the company
in this county, some of which have
been heavy producers of rich mineral
in the past. 1t is hoped the antici-
pated action will materialize, for it
will mean much for this section
MiningGazette.
1t is to be hoped thai the above is
true, as the starting of this smelter
will again open competition III the
sale of our ores in Gilpin and Clear
Greek counties. These two pioneer
counties that placed Denver on the
map, built our first inland railroad,
and whose mines furnished the mon
ey to construct many of her elaborate
buildings, are now producing a better
grade OF ore at a depth of over two
thousand feet than ever before. Give
us competition in the market ting of
our ores. and these two counties will
again forge to the front, as the
greatest mineral producing counties
in the state.

When mine owners and companies
return to the practical man TO manage
their mines, new ore bodies will be
discovered and their mines made to
return revenue. We do not wish
TO cast reflections upon the graduates
of the School of Mines, but the tech
nical man just from college, with no
practical knowledge. is no more fitted

all of the practical phases of mining,
that his workmen do not deceive him.
The most of our mines are now be-

practical knowledge as well as the
theoretical. and as n result our MN
es are again fast approaching the
dividend-paying class.

We are in receipt of letter from
Leadyille, from a man who is work
ing a mine near the famous Little
Johnnie at that place, who informs
us that the snelter at Leadville pays
him at the rate of $19 per ounce for
all gold in ore running one ounce or
less per ton. On ore carrying from
one to three ounces gold, he receives
$3.50 per ounce. and on all ores as
saying above three ounces gold, he
receives 500 per ounce, and on iron
pyrites running in excess of 25To, he
receives 10 cents per unit. Whoever
heard of the smelters or Chamberlain
paying for iron in either Gilpin or
Clear Creek counties? The shipper
is very fortunate if he is not penal

They are producing more ore and of

there are twenty old mines restored
to the shipping list fer every new
producer. The old mine is never
worked out, the new prospect is an
