AT THE OPERA HOUSE

as, now being exhibited at the opera
house every Wednesday night, are
drawing immense crowds, and as
Manager McFarlane explains, nothing
is too good for an audience that lives
in a city which set the entire world
ablaze a half century ago by the
tales of our marvellous riches, and
founded an empire unsurpassed.
The drama next Wednesday, BE
tween Savage and Tiger" is a tale
OF adventure and romance in the jun
giles of India and abounds in thrill
ing and exciting scenes in which
man eating tigers, water-buffalo. ant
elope, elephants and other wild ami
mails play a conspicuous part. The
story tells of a young officer who is
court-martialed and dismissed from
the army for absenting himself from
his post of duty without leave, to
visit sick wife and child. He wand
ers to India and is captured by a
tribe of savages who marvel at his
wonderful power as a marksman in
killing tigers and other animals that
have been annoying the tribe. The
price of admission will be children 5
cents, adults 10 cents.

EUREKA MINE

The directors Of the Gilpin-Eureka
Mining company Of Covington, Ken
lucky. are in the city this week, look
ing over their mine and mill. The
6O0-foot lever, or deepest workings,
shows a body of smelling and concen-
trating ore from l to 10 feet in width,
for distance of 300 feet in length
that is being worked by lessees.
The mill has been running stead
lily during the month on ore from the
McCallister lease on tie 600-foot lev
ell, and should be ready to clean
up by the end of this week The ore
from the plates lis expected to pro-
duce large gold retort besides sew
eral cars of concentrates, one car
of which was shipped to the Globe
smelter today. The 800 and 4OO-foot
levels of the mine are also being
worked by lessees with good results.
The 600-foot level is disclosing lar
ger bodies of ore than any hereto
ioie iOuhu III lhe iHiHe, anu 10 dhoeh-
er proof that the deeper our mines
are sunk, tie larger and richer they
become.
The management while here. may
conclude to have the mine sunk deep
er as the showing in the bottom of
the 600-foot level, leads one to be-
lieve that large bodies of ore are be-
low.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

Editor Observer:
That many of our reform laws that
look feasible, does not prove sue
cess in actual practice is evidenced
by the commission form of govern
ment in Nashville, Tennessee, where
an American city has been thrown
into the hands of a receiver by the
courts.
Denver has the commission form
of government, and in every issue
of the Denver Post that sheet is
spreading broadcast the so-called
graft, and irregularities of the COM
mission, much to the detrime ent of
Denver and the entire state. A New
York mining investor, now in Cen
trail City, that is putting his money
into our gold mines, informs US that
through the scurrilous conduct of the
Denver daily press, not only invest
ments, but travel is being diverted
from Denver and Colorado. We be-
lieve in the freedom of the press,
managers Of great daily papers so
far forget their respect for country
and loyalty to state, as to PROSTATE
business and bring their adopted
state, into disrepute, they are I'm
worthy of the sympathy and respect
of a free people.
We were of those who aided and
abetted in the passage of many of
those laws that seemed to be bene-
ficial to the state and the purify
ing of politics, and now stand, like
the meek and lowly disciple, who be-
trayed our Saviour, ready to make
atonement for misguided acts. The
denizens of Europe are onw frantic
over the spirit of war, and we of
America, have gone daft over reform
laws. Let US once more adopt sane
reasoning, and build up our state
and nation. H. A. NJ.

AMONG THE MINES
MINING A BIG FACTOR IN WAR

That mines and mining is one of
the prime factors in the great war
now being waged In Europe, is best
illustrated by an article in the Min
ing Journal of London, the greatest
mining magazine in his "Majesty's
Kingdom" We quote the following:
I'VE have often, like some voice
crying in the wilderness, prophesied
that the national ignorance and dis
regard of the mineral industry would
cost us dear. We had in mind chief
ly commercial losses, but with war
have come the possibilities of more
sudden and widespread danger. Look
where we will it is the mineral in
dustry which to a great extent DOM
mates the situation. Fuel. chemicals,
metals are on the backbone of ma
terial which to all appearances is
the supreme factor. In these sew
eral branches we are unorganized
and, what is worse the consciousness
of a possibility of coordination be-
tween them has not even yet dawn
ed. At a moments notice we have
been endowed with the Department
of Munitions, which in proportion as
it may justify its existence affords
the most serious criticism of our
war departments, yet no recognition
appears anywhere of the fact that
most of our difficulties in this great
field of the war are due to the alb
sepce of an intelligent Department
OF mines. All sorts of able minds
are now found to apply themselves
to questions with which they have no
practical acquaintance whatever, and
there is no central fountain from
which they can draw guidance on
principles or knowledge of detail.
Kingdom are engaged on what are
practically barren inquiries because
no organization exists TO furnish the
requisite data affecting the condi-
tions both as regards organization
and material under which the min
ing and metallurgical industries are
carried ON today under the British
flag"
1t is interesting to note that this
great war, the most destructive the
world has ever known, is causing
an increased demand for all metals
found in the Rocky Mountains, more
especially in Colorado. where all the
rare metals are found. Aside from
our gold, the prime metal that fur
nishes their medium of exchange, we
have tungsten, molybdenite. copper.
zinc and lead, that is CT essential
benefit for their successful opera
tions, and are now commanding a
high price. This would be an in
centive to idle capital to invest in
these kind of mines, as the demand
for many of these ores will command
a good price for many years after
the termination of war.
