The organization plan of the
Colorado Metal Mining association
which will hold its fourth annual
meeting January 9, 10 and IL,

full that the mining men of other
western states are preparing to
establish similar organizations.
Attending the convention in
January will be many leading
mining men from all over the west,
who upon their return to their
homes will take steps to carry the
organization into their respective
states. Eventually this will lead
to an effective orga nization of the
metal mining interests of the
western states.
The date of the annual meeting
was postponed one week later than
the original call, in order to take
advantage of reduced rates offered
by the railroads in connection
with inaugural week. A one-and-
one third rate on the certificate
plan is offered by all of the rail.

Wealth Was Forced
On This Carpenter

A good story of the boom days
in the Goldfeld district of Nevada
is told by Zeb Ray, the well known
Nevada mining man who has been
in Denver recently in connection
with some new mining operation
in that state. The story has for
its central figure carpenter named
Jones, who in the early days of
the Goldfied district was greatly
disappointed when he was COM
PEELED to accept 1900 shares of the
Mohawk stock in exchange for
his labor. He was sore and at first
refused absolutely to take the
stock, saying that he preferred to
lose the entire amount Of money
than take the certificates. He
changed his mind, however, and
took the stock, and because of the
dark outlook ahead at Goldfied he
left the camp and went up into the
Alpine range, where he secured a
contract to build some cabins in a
small mining camp.
He was showed in that winter
and of course knew nothing of the
sensational developments in the
Hayes -Monette lease on the Mo-
hawk. Before leaving. Goldfield
he was able to sell Thousand
shares of his Mohawk stock at II
cents share.
Spring came and the first mail
from the outside was eagerly await
ed at the little camp up in the
Alpine range. The newspapers
brought glad tidings of the wonder
lfnl stsikes nstha Gold 6ald district.
and scanning the market pages one
of the miners remarked that Mo-
hawk was selling at S1775. Jones
nearly dropped dead from heart
failure when he found the 1000
shares of Mohawk he owned was
selling at San Francisco at better
than SIT share. He got out of
camp on the first stage and sold
his Mohawk stock for approx
mately $4,000.
Everybody will be glad to know
that the postoffice will be open on
Christmas Day-not all day, but
from 9 a. III. to p. III. and again
after the train comes up in the
evening. Since Christmas comes
on Monday this year it is partic-
ularIy advantageous to have the
Office open. Of course it spoils the
holiday for the postmaster and his
clerks but they get considerable
enjoyment in handing out gift
packages and greetings from the
loved ones in other climes
