Sitting beneath portrait of his father, the heir of Standard Oil for two hours discussed with representa- tives of labor the problems that led 10 civil war in Colorado. Less than Six months ago these same men, filled with implaca ble hate fer the young millionaire. were denouncing him as an oDDressor of their kind and charg- ing to his account the slaughter of in- nocents which marked the progress of the strike.

TITANIC BATTLE
 IN THE CARPATHIANS $
Au|trians Suffer Heavy Losses in Bat tlc With SIayS Year Mountain Pass. Pctr0grad Says Germans Being

London, Jan 2S.- Exhaustion. after the titanic struggle precipitated by the Germans desire to press home a vic tory that should make memorable the birthday anniversary of the German emperor and the consequent counter effort of the allies to defeat the enc mys purpose, is reflected in the lat est reports from the front in the west ern theatre.
 Paris tonight reports during the night of the 272S the enemy made no infantry attacks whatever
 Neither docs the French communica> tion state that the allies attempted any infantry attacks. The burden of the fighting remained with the artil- lery.
 In Flanders only were actions by in fantry recorded North of Zonnebeke the Germans kept up sharp rifle fire, but without leaving their trenches.
 The hope that tonight's official statement from Paris would bring some information that would aid in clearing the discrepancies between the official reports from Berlin and from Paris regarding the fighting of yes terday was shattered.
 The most startling claim is made by Paris, which stated in the afternoon l communication that as a result of the l fighting at all points from Jan. 2S' to the night Of yesterday, the German !, losses amounted to no fewer than 20,- 900. The French statement says that on yesterday the promised great effor of the Germans was made but that all attacks were repulsed. and t.a French attacks resulted in gains.

 Petrcgrad, Jan. 2S.-It is evident that tho opening stage of the new cam paign which has been forced upon the German staff by the Hungarian crisis is to be great battle north of the Carpathians.
 The Germans have spread large forces across an 8O-mile front c>ver- ing the outlets of the passes to the eastward of Bukla, and have developed some advance in the past three days but this causes no anxiety, as 1t is a process which the Russians have in- duced them to go through twice al- ready when they were defeated in the same region.
 The best results always have been won hitherto in the Carpathians by drawing the enemy forward from the dense woods to the open country, and stepping advance toward Galicia.
 This battle must greatly influence the entire southern campaign as far as

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Telegraphing from Amsterdam the correspondent of Reuters Telegram company says Life. in the poorer quarters of the German capital is described as pitt ful by the German born wife of an English laborer residing in Berlin, who, after sixteen months inter- ment, has arrived at Flushing Hol- land, on her way to England, ac- cording to the correspondent of the Amsterdam Telegraaf. "The Ger man authorities" the Telcgraaf correspondent quotes the woman as saying, fare in great fear of revolt, owing to the dicoptent of the peo- ple. Sveral riots occurred in which shops. were plundered. Mounted police charged the crowds, which were composed mostly of women. Misery among the working class is considerable and is increasing daily.

 Pictures, 1t is siad, are going out. No more will the notable still life entitled Fish" adorn the Louis Quinze rooms of the best families, nor will Landseer and Rosa Bon heur contend for the honor at the head of, the stars. Pictures are going out.
 We'll, blank walls, do not a pris- on make, nor reprints salon. It used to be thought before the fash ions began to operate, that picture making was one of the eternal traits of the human composition, and that the desire to see pictures in the home was another. All that has been changed by fashion stern decree. No more pictures Just walls.
 To those who are worried a word of consolation may be spoken. Let them not destroy the pictures or dispose of them. Ten years from now change will come.

WORTHLESS IRON ORE OF EARLY DAYS PROVE.
 VALUABLE

Denver,-Some thirty-odd years ago the camp of Hugesville, Col, was a producer of silver and con- tinued so until the low price of white metal made production un- profitable. In the course of their work the miners frequently enco IT, tered what they considred to be a worthless species of iron ore, and this they threw on the dump. It now appears that this supposedly waste material was nothing less than tungsten, running high in the value to the ton. This fact was discovered recently by a mining man who operated in Hughesville in the early days. He was shown samples of tungsten ores from mines in the Nederland district and their appearance recalled the dis carded ores of Hughesvile. He went back to the old camp, secured samples of ore, had hem assayed and ascertained that his suspic- ions were we'll founded; the ore was tungsten and assayed from 7.3 per cent. to 28,2 per cent.
 As result he and his associates quietly secured various claims in the district and are organizing the Gilpin Tungsten Production com pany to operate the properties which comprise about 100 acres. Some of the claims are we'll devel- oped, bu the tunnels through which they were mined need to be retimbered and put into condition before active development work can begin.
