JUSTIFIABLE OPTIMISM.

The great ore discoveries in Cripple Creek and Leadville have stimulated mining all over Colo rado. In Gunnison county, new discoveries of ore in Vulcan, Spencer, Cochetopa, Tin Cup, Italian Mountain, Ohio City, Buff falo Head near Pitkin, and in other districts, will make min ing active during the coming summer. Let the good work go on, nothing will build up the West like big gold discoveries; 1914 gold output about twenty millionsin Colorado; 1915 should, and probably will, double this or even better results many le- ward the great efforts of the mining men.-Gunnison Repub- lican.

1 A most favorable. view of the
 cattle industry in the southwes
 is expressed by w. E. Barnes O. Tucson, travelling freight anc passenger agent of the Southern l Pacific, in an interview given ir
 El Paso, where he is attending the opening of the Southwestern Cattlemen's convention, says the
 Arizona Daily Star.
 Mr. Barnes said:
 T never saw the cattle ranges of Arizona and New Mexico look ing so good. The copious winter
 rains have painted the landscape brilliant green. There is no arid land. The cattlemen do not know what hard times mean They are in no hurry to sell their fattening herds. though buyers are plentiful and prices are soaring.
 During 1914, importation of cattle from Mexico was heavy, numbering 138, ,288 head through the Arizona ports of Yuma, No gales, Douglas and Naco. There is a good reason to believe that 1915 will show a great increase.
 "The development of agricult- ure in Arizona has been some- thing remarkable. Under the efficient agricultural expert ment station the farmers of Ari- zona are ospering. They have turned their attention to diverse crops and extensive methods with very gratifying results. Long staple Egyptian cotton is being successfully grown and upwards of 10000 acres will be planted this season, and 5O,OOO acres in wheat"
 MT. Barnes was an original promoter of long staple Egyp- tian cotton planting in Southern Arizona and he has been recent Iy agitating for the establish ment of a state museum at Tue son, and a chair of archaeology 1t the state university. His pro position has received the en- 3orsement of nearly every news pa per in Arizona.

His writings were generally calculat-

how well he accomplished his end
need not be stated to be known. His
humor was of that quaint and spon-

natural, though of the rough-hewn
character, that the merest child could
comprehend and enjoy it. Few men
during their earthly career have con-
tributed to make this world more
sunny than did Bill Nye.
