THE BENEFITS OF MINING

A mountain range full of minerals
would be valuable only for the seen
cry it afforded unle its hidden rich
es were extracted and marketed
This truism explains in nutshell
why the West is opposed to the ul-
tra-conservation of lis resources, as
outlined by Secretary Franklin K.
Lane.
The mining ind stry should be
helped and enlarged, rather than
hampered by res 1i;tive measures.
1t is vitally important, not only to
the West but to the entire country.
A producing mine does more than
any other enterprise to bring money
into the state where it operates, be-
sides supplying the world with new
wealth or its equivalent. Most of the
cash obtained by shippers for both
the precious and tase metals comes
from local business concerns or di-
vert funds from domestic channels to
enrich outside indtv duals and corIor-
ations. They natrr- lily DO remit divi-
dends to stockholders in all parts
of the globe, but this is money that
had no existence until it was dug
from the earth, and is only returning
in part the amount received from far
off metal marts. AS a matter of fact
probably about fifty per cent of the
gross receipts of the mines is dis
tributed for labor, while a certain
portion is paid in dividends to resi-
dent investors, thus actually keeping
a large proportion of all mining funds
circulating in srr. ounding territory
This money might aptly be likened
to a fall Of mama from the sky. 1t
is new wealth, scattered broadcast
over the land.-Minirg and Financial
Record.

A BILLION DOLLARS

Do we realize wi en- we talk of a
billion dollars, what an enormous sum
of money it means? We all know
how rapidly an expert counter of
coins will manipulate them. You can
scarcely follow the motion of his fin
gers as he shifts the coins from one
pile to another and counts them. The
treasury experts will count 1000 sill
Yer dollars an hour and keep 1T up
all day long, but that Is their limit.
Working eight hours a day. then an
expert counter of coins will count 32,'
900 silver dollars in a day, but how
long will 1t take him at that rate to
count a million dol ars? Thirty-one
days. But that is only the beginning
OF the measurements of big figures.
for II this same man were to go on
counting silver dollars at tile same
rate of speed for ten years he would
find that he had counted only 100000,
900 of them, and that to count a bill
lion of them would require 102 years
of steady wcrk a. the rate of eight
hours day during every working day
of every one of the l02 years.-Valdez

HAD TO ADMIT DRAWBACKS"
Doubtful, However, If Auctloneer's
"Candor" Interfered With the
Sale of the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer. in ad-
dition to a fine personal appearance
and splendid elocutionary talents, is
possessed of considerable culture and
knowledge of human nature.
At book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he was selling, with
brief biographies and criticisms of
their authors, reciting hexameters
from Greek and Roman classics, and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with a tone and air SO lu
dicrous as to set the room in a roar
of laughter. Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops.
An amusing example of his clever.
ness in extolling an estate is the Ian
guage with which he once closed a
highly-colored description Of the prop
erty he was selling. For a few mo-
ments he paused, and then said:
And now. gentlemen, having given
a truthful description Of this magnifi.
cent estate. candor compels me to ad
NIT that 1t has two drawbacks-the lit
ter of the rose leaves and the noise OF
the nightingales."

MOSHER LEASE AGAIN

Idaho Springs, Colo, June 1.-THE
Mosher lease on the Lake, which for
many months was producing car of
ore daily that netted $500 or $500 a
car, which for several weeks has beer
in a lean streak in both the breast
and stope, has again come into good
ore in the breast of the drift which
has widened out into 2-foot streak
that returns better than $50 to the
ton, while in the store the values are
coming in again and apparently are
better than when the pinch came. The
Lake has been the most consistent

PROSPERITY is COMING

Col. Condit has just received a let

lowing:
"Our manufactuI are all running

for war material and we are also

and we get the order, for they have

also getting good prizes for their ami
mails and produce, and our southern
planters for their CO ton, all of which
is bound to make good times here in
the United States. If the war in
Europe should close by August L.
next, these condit ons would largely
prevail fer two or three years to
come, for the machinery throughout
Europe is largely de e:troyed and must
be rebuilt and replaced and new men
must be educated to handle it, and not
only so, but they MI st create the raw
material for their machinery to ham

to resume. they can supply their home
demands, but we Will be so fortified
in the Mexican and South American
trade, that they will never get 1t

bound to create demand fer the sill

hold on until next fall you will share
this prosperity with us. / expect to

The above confirms what we have
and do still insist uron, that we will
have better times by next fall, and
