AMONG THE MINES
SINK OUR SHAFTS DEEPER

1t has been we'll and worthily writ
ten that, every man is the keep
er OF his own fortune" This not
only applies to the Individual, but
to municipalities, counties and states.
We have for years heard murmurfngs
about the depletion of our population
without attempting to fathom the
cause, Within the last few years we
have witnessed many of our people
remove from our county and locate a

perior attractions in the way of
larger or more rich zones of ore?
Never. 1t was because that hamlet
en- into our rich fissrre veins at great
depth. and our population removed
hither to enable them to earn a live
lihood by working Gilpin's veins of
ore through these deep-drainage tun.
nels.
These tunnels not only show that
our ore veins are continuous to this
point, but it also shows that ore can
be raised to surf ce through our
shafts, cheaper than transported
through the tunnels. II tie mine own
ers wish to reropul te our county and
give it the life as of yore, let them
place suitable machinery over the col
lars of our many shafts, sink them
TO the tunnels level and they will
not only reward themselves, but will
furnish employment for hundreds of
me- who are forced to leave the
county to obtain work. The few who
are adopting this plan are being re-
warded not only by larger and more
rich bodies of ore, but are mining
and milling it at greater profit.
Let other mine owners follow in
their wake, and we win soon have a
populous community.

MONEY METAL MINE SHARES
BEST INVESTMENT

Some of the nations at war offer
very tempting securities in the way
OF government bo. DIS, says the Tono-
pah Daily Bonanza. The interest
rate is high and the security is ap-
parently g.lt-edged. But If billions of
dollars have been expended in the
first nine months of the war, with
the struggle becoming more costly
day by day, what assurance has the
. intending investor that there will be
any collateral left after another year
of hostilities? Factories will have
been destroyed, citi leveled, farm
ing communities rendered desolate
and bare. Practically all the metal
lie money win have gravitated to neu-
tral countries, particularly to the Uni
ted States.
What will these nations have where
with to pay in another year? They
will operate as long as possible on a
credit basis and then even credit will
cease. Their currency will depreciate
as it did in the Confederate States
of America until it will cost 81 900

Will be temporary return of gold to
Europe through thcse bend sales, but

Besides, in the readjustment of af-
fairs, certain of the present powers
are almost certain TO lose their iden-
tity. Their conquc rcrs certainly will
not underwrite their outstanding
bonds. 1t win simply mean that the
bondholders might as we'll toss their
securities into the fire.

money will not be a medium of ex-
change for long time after the con-
clusion of the war. The United States
will be loath to part with its enor-
nous store of gold, which is steadily
accumulating becarse of the inability
to import from tie belligerent coun-
tries and the growing demand by
them for our products. AS result

British steamers and one French

Liner Reported T]orpedoed.
With a German submarine in the
waters around the Scilly Islands,
which the big liners pass on their
way across the Atlantic, there is
much uneasiness in shipping circles,
and a report, which also reached the
American liner New York by wireless
was circulated to the effect that one
of them had been torpedoed. This
report, it is believed, arose from the
sinking of the Andalusian, which be-
longs to the Elerman Line.
