CHARM OF ICELAND.
A Land of Wild Grandeur and Mighty
and Beautiful Waterfalls.

| and Beautiful Waterfalls.
In spite of its poverty Iceland is one
of the most beautiful countries of the
| world. Ihe scenery combines a wild
grandeur, with ingratiating charm in
an infinite variety of characteristic
landscapes.
The mountain formations are males
tic and powerful in outline, showing
traces of the volcanic forces which are
still active in some places. The large
cupola shaped mountains, which rise
like oriental temples from the ocean or
the level plains, their tops covered
with perpetual snow, are very impress
Sive.
To this must be added a wealth of
mighty and beautiful waterfalls, great
lakes, steaming springs and craters
still warm. The view is usually wide
and open and the play of colors fas-
cinating, especially in the fair, mild
summer nights. The air is clear,
healthy and invigorating, streaming
alternately from the wide sea and
from the snow covered mountains.
This natural beauty attracts many
tourists to the country, and large ocean
steamers, filed with travellers, visit it
several times each summer. Owing to
the lack of transportation facilities
most of them must be content with
seeing the coasts. When it gets rail,
roads, modern hotels and other con-
veniences Iceland will no doubt be-
come a popular tourist country.
Iceland has many possibilities for a
fair future. - American Scandinavian
Review.

Riding Away With the Bride.

In many of the border counties
OF England the quaint old bridal
customs Of hundreds of years ago
are still in vogue. The parents
carefully abstain from appearing at
the marriage ceremony, clinging to
the idea that the bridegroom still
rides away on a foaming steed with
his bride behind him as in the good
old days. The brides prefer the
custom to the modern method of
being given away at the altar in the
orthodox fashion.

MINING INVEST
MENTS THE SAFEST

Mining men are confident that the
men of means are growing more and
more convinced that, after all, good
mining investments are the safest
that can be made, says Goodwin s
Weekly of Salt Lake City.
The products of the field, of course
are essential to life, but in the near
future no more of them will be
bought than just enough to live COM
fortably. 1t is tie same way with
the more the mines can produce, the
better will be the market for the
field and factory products.
We look to see silver remonetized
ey-lenders, because all the doleful
predictions of 1893 regarding silver
have been proven to be falacies, and
because the burden of debt is even
ancial pyramid which rests on a
point of gold to tOpple and fall. We
hope that our government will have
the sagacity to see and act on the
situation. But aside from that the
mining industry is about the safest
that can be engaged in, for the
world needs the baser metals to per-
feet machinery and transportation so
that food can be distributed at the
least possible cost, and that men may
be able to purchase supplies at the
ious metals the last year demonstrat-
ed what silver men have already
claimed. namely, that the utmost la
Dor and cupidity of man cannot sup
ply enough of both to fill the worlds
needs for money.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
JAMES B. BROWN

One OF the most sudden and I'M
expected deaths to occur in Gilpin
county in years, was that Of James
b. Brown, who died Tuesday morning
at O'Clock, of quick pneumonia.
He was we'll and apparently in good
health UP until 10 o'clock Sunday
night, when he left town fer home.
Monday morning, Will Zeigi, who
worked with Mr.. Brown on the tram,
waited at the wafer tank at the
head OF Eureka street for his part
ner as was the usual custom. When
it came Z O'Clock and Mr.. Brown did
not show up, Mr.. Zeigi walked UP to
the Brown house and just as he
reached the place, Mr.. Brown came
out, carrying his dinner pail Mr..
Zeigi noticed tLat Mr.. Browns eyes
were swollen and that he otherwise
appeared very i'll and asked him what
the matter was. Mr.. Brown told
him he felt badly and feared that
he had pneumonia. Mr. Zeigi took
him into the house and then rush
ed to Central for the doctor. AS
soon as the doctor reached the sick
man, he realized that it was very
serious case. Mr.. Brown was remov-
ed to room in the Central City An
mex and during Monday and Monday
evening everything possible was done
for him. Late Monday night, it was
conceded he would not live until
morning.
A sister and niece. Of Dewitt, Ia,
WHO had been visiting Mr.. Brown
and who left on Monday mornings
train for home, were notified at Fork s
Creek of Mr.. Browns serious i'll
ness and returned to Central on the
up train at IL O'Clock.
Jim Brown. as he was cordially
known by everyone, was native OF
Ireland, being born in that country
60 years ago. He lived here for
years and possessing the kindly.
generous traits of the typical Irish
man, made friends by the score. He
was fond of outdoor life, and his
pleasantest recreation was found in
hunting and fishing. Hardly a week
passed but that he was on the South
Boulder stream. and his presence will
be missed by fellow fishermen who
enjoyed his jovial company. He leaves
sister, a resident of Dewitt. Ia,
and a brother. residing in Ireland.
Services were held yesterday morn
ing at $50 O'Clock in the Catholic
church The remains were shipped
to Dewitt, Ia, on the afternoon
train, where interment will be made.
The sister and niece accompanied
the body to Dewitt.
