Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lus-

only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for ''Wyeth s Sage and

U. S. DOLLAR UNIT OF VALUE

Financial writer's and economists
are endeavoring to explain why the
English pound sterling has declined
to S4.64. and their method of doing
so is to plunge into a technical dis
cussion of gold movements and inter
national credits. Some of them as
sumo that it is an indication of COM
ing bankruptcy for Great Britain.
The explanation is very simple
The law of demand and supply is
responsible. Until six or, eight
months ago the pound sterling was
the unit of value in international
trade and It has since been supplant-
I'd by the American dollar. Former
ly Great Britain was the leading buy
er and seller of comm ODDITIES and the
greatest money lending center in TIE
world. Its place has now been TAX
en- by the United States.
The people Of the outside world
want the kind of money they can
use most readily and conveniently for
the purchase of the commodities they
desire, and tley do rot want money
that is depreciating in value. There
fore. they are endeavoring to ex-
change their English money into
United States currency. This greatly
increased demand for the American
dollar has caused 1t to appreciate in
the worlds markets and excess sup
ply or offerings are causing the
pound sterling to decline. - Boston

PRAISES THE PIONEERS

Mayor McClelland, of Idaho Springs
is man of no mean proportions.
At a meeting of pioneers held in that
beautiful hamlet last week, the mayor
took occasion to remark that no
more sturdy or intelligent set of
men and women ever crossed the
sandy plains to seek an abiding
place, where the dashing rivulets
roll down their stream of golden
sands from our picturesque and ever
rich mountains, than settled in Clear
Creek and Gilpin counties. He said
that he appreciated the efforts of
that little band who endured hard.
ship and privation to found an en-
pire among these golden hills, that
has attracted the scientist and lay
man from all countries of the civil
lied world.
The mayor gave statistics to slow
the great wealth the Centennial
state possesses, and especially the
wealth these two (smallesD coun-
ties of the state has poured into
the lap of commerce. He stated
that one and one-fourth billion dol
lars worth of precious metals had
been extracted since it first became
a territory and state, one-fourth of
which had been mined in these two
counties. He countenanced the con-
tinued spirit of geniality and good
fellowship that pervaded the two
counties, and looked forward to the
day when they would again become
the sovereign count 'es of the state.

REASONS FOR THE
MINING REVIVAL

The present mining revival in the
West is not a transient BOOM but
a business-like exploitation of the
metal deposits that enrich the land.
This activity shows every indica-
tion that it will increase rather than
diminish in the years to come. Var
ious factors contributed to bring
about the larger movement in mining;
and among these may be mentioned
the Unsuitable demand by Europe for
more gold. The dearth of the yellow
metal abroad naturally has directed
greater attention to gold mining and
stimulated the search for that metal.
The higher prices for copper, lead
and zinc, occasioned by war needs,
have promoted the mining Of these
products of the earth to a degree un-
precedented in tie history of the
world.
Even the rare metals, such as tung
sten, uranium, malybydenum, etc.
are in immense demand and at con
stantly advancing figures. They are
being mined on eadily broadening
scale, particularly in Colorado,
where they abound.
Silver has not yet come into its
walls in the white metal districts.
However, the belief that European
nations will be compelled to give a
much greater recogni ion to silver as
money metal after tie war lends
encoura cement TO the situation.
Generally favorable production con-
ditions have been nota bly, bettered by
improved metallurgy, more especially
in the use of cyanide and methods of
concentration, separation and flota-
ton. Such scientif improvements
have made possible TIE mining of
low grade ores that formerly could
not be handled at a profit. As re-
suit many abandoned mines that
could not be worked profitably under
the old treatment methods have been
reopened and are making money for
the owners.
The western mining field offers
many attractive opportunities for the
investment of capital. There are
numerous meritoricus mining prop
etries in proved districts that now
are lying dormant because the own
ers lack money for development and
equipment purposes. These proper
ties can be LEASED on reasonable
terms, with option CT purchase at
prices that are decidedly moderate.
1t behooves inve stors TO take ad-
vantage of such chances TO add i'm
portantly to their bank rolls.-Min-
ing and Financial Record.

AMONG THE MINES
ENTERTAINS NoTABLES

Senator and Mrs. Gore and chill
dren, of Oklahoma, arrived here this
week and are spending some time at
Alpine Lodge.-Georgetown Courier
Georgetown, every summer, enter
tains men of note, who come there
to seek rest and quiet. Her people
are wide awake, ard take especial
pains to entertain and interest those
strangers who come among them,
with the result that they bring their
friends the next season, and spend
the sultry months motoring among
the many points of interest that are
everywhere to be found in these
grand old mountains.
Clear Creek county has many ex-
cellent auto roads to attract the trav-
eler, and when the state or county
funds play out, they build their roads
by private subscription, with the
result that tourists flock there in
summer in large numbers. Gilpin
county has a country where roads
can be built more cheaply, and where
the eye OF the tourist can gaze at
the most beautiful scenery in Amer
lea, and her citizers should exert
themselves to the building of auto
mobile roads to our numerous lakes
and glens, where the eastern tour
ist would come and build his sumner
home.
Let those who have waxed wealthy
from the mines of Gilpin county, and
still own some of the richest mining
property in the county. unlocsen
themselves in their declining years.
and aid us in the building of good
roads for the benefit of future pcs
terity, that tteir names may be en-
blazoned upon the scroll of progress
sion, and their philanthropic acts be
a guide for future generations.
