ONLY THE BEGINNING

During the past six or eight months
wonderful increase in mining activi'
ties has been witnessed all over the
United States. The financial and
industrial life CT the nation has al
ready felt and experienced the bene-
fits resulting from rejuvenated in
dustry and people are looking forward
to a period of almost unheard-of pro-
perity, and many are making every
effort to take advantage of present
conditions while they last; but, this
is only the beginning.
This is only the beginning, for the
use of the metals will be largely aug
mented fer many years to come. no
matter whether the war lasts only a
day longer or for a period of ten
years. During the period that this
awful strife may last, this period OF
causeless destruction OF human life
and the wrecking of hearts and homes
there will be heavy and most ur-
gent demand for copper. zinc. lead
and quicksilver to be used in manu-
facture of war materials. Wien peace
has been restored much greatr de-
mand will be witnessed, and for tie
reason that the period of recon
s.ruction has arrived, for that which
has been destroyed must be replaced,
and this. too, in nearly every line OF
industry.
For twenty years, at least, the min
ing industry of the United States
should flourish as never before and
no man, who has a mine or prospect
from which he can produce gold, lead
copper. zinc and silver, for silver is
bound to come into its own again in
the near future, need fear that he will
fail of a market for his product if
he will only get down to business
and take out his ore.
Mining. in all Of its branches, is
very active at the present time, but
this is only the beginning.-SaltL Lake

AMONG THE MINES
PINE COMB MINE

The Pine Comb mine at Wide-awake
operated by the Pine Comb Gold Min
Ing company, is now being put in
shape for more extensive and sys-
tematic operation. The work in the
mill Cat the mouth of the tunneD,
is being pushed with all vigor, and
will be completed and ready to treat
ore very soon.
This mill is up-to-date in every par
ticular, and a big saving of values is
practically assured. Electric power
is to be used in operating the mill,
and the work of placing the poles
for the power line, has been started
and will be ready in about 10 days.
This will be connected with the Boul-
der county power line, at the Golden
Flint mine, distance Of about $500
feet
Manager Shoush, is certainly very
busy these days, arranging to have
the mine and mill in first class run
ming order at the earliest possible
date. Tie foundation for a success
ful future for this company has now
been laid, having been fortunate in
securing very low rate on electric
power. With a mill on the ground
to treat the ore, the tunnel track.
leading direct into the crushing de-
partment OF the mill, enables them
to transport ore from all parts of
the mine to the mill, at an astonish-
ingly low cost, and will enable the
company to mine and treat even a
very low grade milling product at a
profit
i The company is composed of men
of finance, the majority of them
from Macon, Mo-. who are familiar
in the successful handling of large
enterprises.

SUCCESS
IN CLEAR CREEK

The installation of oil flotation at
the Hudson mill by S. P. Warren, af-
ter month Of operation, under his
direction, has proven to be a success
and will be a permanent part of the
equipment, says the Idaho Springs
Gazette.
Cyanidation has been abandoned
and return to amalgamation and con-
centration has been adopted. Work
in dismantling the cyanide equip
ment has been carried on along with
continuous operation of the mill. The
flotation machine has been so placed
. that it does in no way interfere with
the mill as an amalgamator and con-
centrator. Its work being to treat
the tailings that formerly went into
the creek. Arrangement has also been
made to keep the flotation concen-
trate separate so as to be able to
show the shipper that he is getting
something in return for the small
charge for using the machine on his
ore

A sensational game of ball was
played Sunday on the local grounds
between the Gilpin Mines and a team
composed of the young ladies of the
town. The young ladies', of course,
had no trouble in defeating their ad-

appearance attracted as much atten-

bald-headed contingent was well rep
resented. The Nederland team, which
was scheduled to play the Mines

A FINANCIAL PROBLEM

Considerable speculation is being
indulged in by financiers as to the
methods to be pursued in liquidating
the enormous debt that foreign coun-
tries VIII pile up in the United States
as result of the European war. If
the war should continue another year
it is probable that a second billion
will be expended in this country for
war munitions. Handling the debt
will require considerable ingenuity
If Europeans are disinclined to part
with more of their large holdings of
American securities.
The question is discus sed as follows
in the current market letter of Henry
Clews:
How will some of the belligerents
pay for the enormous war supplies
bought in the United States? This
is the problem of the future in
American financial circles. Orders
thus far received already aggregate
over one billion of dollars, and hum
dreds OF millions more are practical
ly sure to follow; for peace is not yet
in sight and the war has by no
means reached its greatest intensity
demonstrations are futile; yet it is
more than probable that the problem
OF financing the war has not reached
the real crisis or test, and an increas-
ing waste of life and property must
be expected as the struggle grows in
bitterness and destructiveness.
1t goes without saying that some OF
the warning nations who are directly
or indirectly purchasing war material
here cannot pay cash to any extent
because they are evidently spending
several times their national savings
in prosecution of the war. Treasury
notes can only be used to limited ex-
ter, and long term credit obligations
will be the only basis on which these
ordsCs can be financed, because an in
definite period must elapse before
Europe can again send us sufficient
merchandise or gold to even approxi-
mately balance our exports. Gold we
do not absolutely need and Europe
cannot spare it in large enough
amounts. Thus far Europe has re-
turned US between four and five hun
dred millions OF our securities; but
European Indebtedness TO American
manufacturers will increase on an
enormous scale during the next six
months, and the foreign exchange sit
uation will be one demanding the
highest skill and resourcefulness for
solution.
The best and most natural adjust
ment would be a gradual return of
American securities from abroad.
which investors here would doubtless
absorb and which foreign holders
could realize upon to better advant-
age than upon their home securities,
for which there is only an indifferent
outside market. The future return
of American securities here would do
no harm"

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
FOR THE LAKE MINE

One year ago the first of this month
the Lake mine, located near the
head of Virginia canon, in the Rus
sell Gulch district, made its first
shipment of ore through the Big
Five tunnel that cuts tie lode $500
feet beneath the surface.
II had long been contended by some
Of our local wise men, that pay ore
in our monster fissure veins played
out with depth. This particular piece
0t news in the course OF time was
disseminated throughout the east, un-
til the great gold mines of Gilpin
county, that founded an Empire of
which Herodotus might well have been
proud, was passed aside as a joke,
and those seeking for aid to develop
their mines were confronted with the
remark, your own people say So"
That these wise men were of the
Teddy Roosevelt order the following
figures will show, as taken from the
ust 1915, at the close of the first
years operations:
The Lake mine, operated $500 feet
beneath the surface, the past year,
produced 1896 tons of ore (mostly
from development), that yielded over
5000 900, and the smelter checks after
deducting treatment, freight charges,
sampling, etc, were s122,629. The
Moser lease, whose drift extends east.
ward from the tunnel level, has a cor,
~tjauous streak OF ore for a distance of
over 500 feet, varying in width from
10 feet, mixed with smelling and
concentrating ore, the smelling ore
returning from $40 10 s45 per ton.
and the concentrating ore .concen-
trates, into /, with a value of $40
per ton. or s14 per ton in the crude.
There are three different Slopes be-
ing raised lin this ground. and tie
ore improving in value as heighth is
gained. From this drift the ground is
virgin to surface, and , the hidden
wealth therein contained is almost
bncdlculaDle.
Below the drift level, the J. D..
i. Leasing company have a winze
down GO feet, with drift eastward
that contains a smelling streak of
ore two feet wide, that returns s62
psr ton. and 3-foot streak of con-
centrating ore with values similar
to that in the Moser lease.
The past year has been one of
development, and arranging for future
output. and the next year will un-
doubtedly see the Lake mine one of
the great, If not the greatest. produc-
ers of ore in this section of the
country.
The finding of large and rich bod
les of ore at great depth on the Lake
mine. has served two purposes. First.
il has forever closed the mouth of
the pessimist regarding the SANDER
Gus tales of our mines playing out
with depth, and secondly, it has caus-
ed many mine owners to renew work
on long since closed properties, there
by giving employment to many men.

most surely the one who receives the
least respect from the rest of the

FIRST CHILD BORN is
HELD TO BE INFERIOR

Washington, July 30. - Firstborn
children are on the average inferior,
physically, mentally and morally, to
the brothers and sisters who follow
them. Such is the conclusion of Prof.
Karl Pearson of the University of
London. His statistics, covering many
thousands of cases, are published to-
day in the July number of the Jour
nal of Heredity, organ of the Ameri-
can Genetic association of this city.
Professor Pearson made his discov-
cry when studying the population of
sanitoricm for consumptiyes, whe- e he
found that there were many more
/ first-born than there should be, if
tuberculosis selected its victims at
random. On the other hand, the later
born children were fewer in number
than was expected.
Since then he has applied elaborate
statistical analysis to data OF many
kinds. He finds that first-born chill
dren show the highest percentage of
still-births and are most delicate dur
ing childhood. Further they weigh
less and are shorter at birth than
are later born children.
Many First-Born Feeble Minded
Study OF the inmates of homes for
the feeble-minded and insane asylums
shows him that first-born children are
there in disproportionate numbers.
Criminality appears also to be pre-
rogative of the eldest members of
the family. Statistics of English
prisons revealed III first born, where
calculation led him to expect only
557.
/ Epilepsy, aIbinism and congenital
cataract are likewise studied and in
each case an abnormally large num-
ber of the affected persons are found
to be first-born.
| This. inferiority, as brought to light
in statistics, is partly due to the fact
that many weak parents die after
having only a single child Such a
child of course counts as a first-born,
and naturally inherits some of the
weakness of his parents; but his in
feriority is due rather to the bad
stock than to the fact that he is
first-born.
But aside from this, Professor Per-
son holds that the first-born are, on
the whole, actually handicapped. This
may be partly due to the youth of
their parents, and partly to physio-
logical conditions in the mother.
/ Believing that the eldest children
are thus handicapped, Professor Pear
son sees great dnger to the lace in
the present tendency to make fam
lilies consist of two children.
| In normal family of about five,
the first born only make up-one-fifth
of the population. and their inferiori-
ty is swamped. But in many classes
CT society nowadays, the number of
offspring is limited to two. Prof j.
McKeen Cattell of Columbia univer-
sity has shown this to be particularly
true of American men of science
y Under these circumstances, the first
born make up half. instead of one
fifth of the population and their in
Z feriority must necessarily be a much
more serious menace TO the efficiency
of the race.
