Patria mine is the only eye-opener
that this camp is experiencing in a
mining way. Hay & Heron are tax
ing out lot of ore that will average
close to 800 per ton in silver and
lead, some of i being worth as high
as SIS sack. They have opened up
the vein for quite a distance and are
rapidly accumulating shipment.

Mancos people should get ready to
use their influence and do their part
toward landing that sugar factory
sor Durango. This section can cas-
lily supply the beets for factory. Du-
range is the logical point for its 10
cation and the beet growing industry
will just fit in with our other indus
tries of stock growing and grain and
feed production so that the industries
will supplement each other and make
each more profitable. This section
needs sugar factory and if we get
it business will boom.-Mancos Times

With copper at $3.50, zinc at 50. so,
lead at $4.10 and an abundance of all
associated together in the mines of
San Juan, together with good gold
and silver values, there can be no
good reason for the pessimist to re-
main in the district. Nor can there
be any good reason to believe that
such mines will be permitted to lie
idle a moment longer than it is pos
sible to start them following the
opening of the roads and trails. The
Hamlet, Grand Mogul, Kittimac, Peer
less, Old Hundred and then some
should be busy right now getting
ready to join the procession.-Silver-

AT the time the Pueblo bank closed
its doors it had over 100000 on de-
posit from the Silverton National
bank and until the cashier of the To-
cal bank could ascertain when this
would be available he considered II
best for the protection of all deposit
tors alike to close the doors. In this
action he is upheld by a large ma
iority of the depositors. There seems
to be no doubt but that every de-
oositor will receive the full amount
Of his deposit in short time, as
the affairs of the local bank are|
known to be in good shape. No fault

fortunate condition, which was forced
by the closing of the Pueblo bank and
thus temporarily tying up its reserve.
