In his New Years greeting writ
ten for the Denver Catholic Register,
Governor Ammons says; "With our
industrial conflict ended, with reviv-
ing mining and Industrial conditions,
with the greatest crop in the history
of our state, followed by conditions
promising even greater production in
1915, with general live stock condi-
tions better than at any preceding
time, with disturbing legislation set
tied and an apparent tendency to new
enterprise, Colorado will enter upon
the new year with brighter prospects
than we have enjoyed for long per-
iod of time. In every portion of the
state and in all lines of our varied
industries opportunities are better
and greater than they have been. We
have never been able to offer greater
advantages to the new settler and
new capital. With the tendency all
over the country to return to the
land, with the necessity for greater
farm production and the apparent GER
tainty Of long continued fair prices, I
feel that our future is full of prom
ise.'
Weld county, according to official
reports. has nearly a million dollars
invested in automobiles.
Fifty thousand dollars in gold was
distributed among the employees of
the gold mining companies located in
Colorado Springs and the Cripple
Creek district as a Christmas gift.
The donations were made on a gradu-
ated scale from $5 to $50.
The United States geographical Of

show that Colorado ranks first in the
production Of rare metals, second in
gold production, second in silver, but
first in the total value of gold silver
and other rare metals.

A correspondent of one of the Lon
dor daily papers at Copenhagen,
speaks of report from Hamburg
to the effect that tive unusually large
submarines have been completed for
the German navy and are making
trial trips at the mouth of the Elbe.
According to the report these sub
marines are four times the size Of
any existing vessels of this type, with
a radius of action which will enable
them to keep at sea for forty days
without having to replenish their oil
tanks and stock of stores, or even
have recourse to the submarine ten
der. This would mean a submarine
running into the thousands of tons
displacement. Such vessels will be
built, and at no very distant date. 1t
is quite conceivable that, in view Of
the enormous offensive power of such
u craft, the Germans may be spring
ing surprise in underwater craft
similar to that which they gave with
the 16-inch gun in siege artillery.
