Special Correspondence to the Herald.
RICO, Colo, Dec. 29.-It can conf

tradiction that the outlook for a gen
eral revival of the mining industry
of the San Juan is better today than
at any time in the past 20 years.
Recent numerous successes in the
development of western mining en-
terprises and the wonderful DIVIDEND.
being paid by western precious metal
mines are factors more than anything
else which are causing the invest
ing public to put their idle dollars
into honestly formed mining com
panies.
The records of facts and figures
show that the mining industry is our
most profitable business. Take the
mining industry out of Colorado and
the railroads would have 80 per cent
less business and in three weeks
would simply have to quit business
No business in the world has made
so many men rich as has mining
and no nation has ever become great
or ever will that has neglected its
mining and mineral resources. The
worlds richest men are generally the
largest stockholders in mines. 1t is n
fact not, generally known that the
Rothchilds of Europe are the worlds
largest investors in the mining in
dustry.

LONDON, Dec, 29.-The cabire 5
decision to raise the new armies by
conseription is Britain's answer to
Germany's new peace feeler.
The German official news bureau
sent out summary of the possible
terms on which Germany would de-
clare peace. The summary was print
ed in Zurich, Switzerland.
The terms are:
The evacuation of Belgium and
France by the Germans; the estab-
lishment of Polish kingdom, domin-
ated by Germany; the payment to
Germany of S3,600,00O 900 indemnity
by the allies; the return of all Ger
man colonies. and the occupation Of

conditions are fulfilled.
The news bureau specifically de

The British officers ridiculed the
terms.

measure if Ireland is to be included
Most of the newspapers are salts

1t is reported that Chancellor of

trade will probably resign because
they oppose the measure.
Even the ti-conscriptionists admit
that the country will adopt modified
form of CONSUMPTION without serious
