WHAT TO DO WITH
THE MILLIONS

The most astonishing thing that
has gotten into print lately, says the
Colorado Springs Telegraph, is the
testimony of Daniel Guggenheim, head
OF the smelter trust, one of the big
business men and great millionaires,
who testified before the commission
on public relations that he believes
in a practical confiscatory inherit
ance tax, and that the government
should care for aged workmen and
find employment for those out of
work. How the editorial writer's and
sociologists are going to buzz over
that!
Evidently Mr.. Guggenheim has
reached the point where the posses
sion of a few millions more or less
do not matter, and he is thinking
upon their meaning and what influ-
ence they may have in the future. 1t
is point that every thinking man
comes to in time. T'ey may not all
reach the same conclusions as he,
and few would have the courage to
say it as he has, but the great cap
tain of industry has his problem in
how permanently to invest the pro-
ceeds of his great enterprises SO
that they may not do more harm
than good
Perhaps the man who best settled
this to his own satisfaction was the
late D. X. Pearsons of Chicago, who
gave Colorado college $4,000. He
made about $4,000 900 in the lumber
forests of Michigan and gave it all
away in his lifetime to "freshwater
colleges" DR.. Pearsons gave a part
of the money outright, with a provis-
ion that the institutions pay him
small interest. This assured him an
income for life, and when he died
his estate was cleared up. There
were no scandalous lawsuits after
his death, ana ne nau the satisfac-
tion of knowing that the money went
where he wanted it to go.-Mining

LAKE MINE JAN. PRODUCTION

The Lake mine that has lately TAX
en- first rank among the great pro-
ducing mines of the county, under the
superintendency of Robert Sayre, has
forged TO the front with lightning
rapidty. Six months ago this mine
was a small hole in the ground, 1000
feet beneath the surface of Pewabic
mountain, and as silent as the NOR
tai remains of the average dead
politician" About six months ago
Mr.. Sayre let lease on the prop
erty to Moser and company who be-
gan to drift upon the vein from near
the breast of the Big Five tunnel
and soon came upon big pay ore.
They have driven the level since
then a distance of $50 feet on
continuous streak of ore from five to
seven feet wide, and extracted ore
from that date to the present, val
ued at $780, in gold and $40. 900 in
silver, based upon present metal quo
tations. The mines production for
the month of Jan. 1915 was 1,4OS,79
tons Of crude ore that carried value
OF 10000. The net receipts in checks
from the smelter returns for the
month was S16,747,70. No. l and 2
winze below the tunnel level some
so feet, are in as large bodies, and
as high grade ore as at the tunnel
level. The production of ore in Feb.
will be curtailed on account of min
ing work being stopped to double
track the drift to accomm odate the
fast increasing production.

G. E. Bolander and associate own
ers of the Eliza Jane and Graham
mines in Lake district, have bonded

them will begin at once. The Gra-

ing of ore in its surface workings,
and as both mines in the vicinity
of the reproducing Pittsburg, We
have no doubt they will become good
producers if properly developed.
