Nitrates Gone-Use Top
Dresser AT Once

The recent long continued
rains have done great deal of
damage to our lands by teaching
an unusually large amount of
nitrate from the soils. Especi-
ally is this true where the soil
is sandy or porous. Unless some
hing is done to repair this loss
rhe crops will suffer greatly and
ields will be reduced.
Probably the most important
loss will be to cotton. The
plants have put on surplus
sucker growth, and this needs
xtra plant food for support. To
meet this need o top dressing
hould be made ,on medium to
hin lauds of so to 85 pounds per
acre of nitrate Of soda. This an.
plication will supply sufficient
ritrates to stimulate growth dur.
log August and will give as good
esults as can now be expected
Fertile land should still con

announced that he- would work and

Americanism. The times are too SER

down to big fundamental principles.
More than any other president in
my memory, Woodrow Wilson has
been faced by a succession of tre-

decided the wrong way would have
disastrous consequence Wilson's
decisions SO far have not got us into

SCHOOL OF MINES OPENS SEPT. 6
Mining Revival to Bring Many Stud
ente &c Golden School

The School Of Mines term opened
on September 6, and the indications
are that the enrolment will be much
larger than during the past few
years. No definite figures can be
given as yet, but The fact that there
are twice as many applications al
ready on file as last year for en-
trance to the freshmen class makes
Il appear that there will be a good
ly number of first year men.
President Parmelee is very en-
thusiastic over the outlook for u big
enrollment and highly successful
year. The boom IN mining in all sec
tions of the country is the main rea-
son to which he ascribes the pros
poets fer increased attendance. The
school has been advertised to a con-
siderable extent during the past year,
and the new plan of giving scholar
ships to High school graduates has
also stimulated interest.
1t Is necessary to announce, that
beginning September 1st no funds
Will be available for assaying or an
alyztng samples scnt to tie School
OF Mines. Such samples will be
identified free of charge, and a state
ment will be given regarding their
possible commercial value, with the
further suggestion that the specimens
may or may not be worth assaying.
In this way the school can continue
to be OF service to prospectors With

GlLPIN'S LEGISLA-

While the many papers throughout

amiss to casually mention ours.
The next session of the legislature
should be one of greatest Importance
to the mining industry ever held in

ways and means to relieve this great
industry from the grasping hand of
avarice, that has throttled the in

keeping out the competitive purchas.
er of ores.
R. C. Benight, Gilpin's candidate
for the 26th Senatorial District, is
man well fitted and schooled in the
mining art, having left his college
studies in early youth to engage in
that of mining silver in Clear Creek
county. Mr.. Benight IS now majority
owner in one Of the greatest groups
OF gold producing mines in Gilpin
county, besides large possessions in
Summit county. He has been owner,
and engaged in mining in the coun-
ties comprising his senatorial district
since 1879, and is thoroughly conver-
sart with all the chicanery employ
ed by smelters and samplers to throt-
tie this great industry, by having
all ores pass through their hands
Without competition
Mr.. VIM. o. jenkins, candidate for
the legislature, was born and raised
among the gold-ribbed hills that sur
rcnnd Central City, and should make
valuable ally to Mr.. Benight in Sc
curing such legislation in mining as
will put the ore producer beyond the
pale of smelter combinations.
These men. we repose utmost con-
fidence in, on account of their large
interests in mining, and if elected,
it is to be hoped that the abiding
confidence placed in them by the
people, will not be misplaced.

the grades is a little higher than last

tai OF lis present Tuesday.
An additional teacher has been add
ed to the grade school corps. 1t was
the belief OF the board that, because
of the large number of classes which
each teacher was required to handle
under the old plan, the teacher did
not have enough time to devote to
helping the individual. With the OBJ
ject in mind Of tightening the bur-
den Of classes on each teacher so
as to permit her to give more time
to this valuable phase of school work,
the board elected Miss Hermina
Peck to take charge of grades Alb,
"A and 5B. This plan relieves each
os the other teachers of one entire
grade and makes sure Of a great deal

COUNTY AFFAIRS

The collections from taxes at the
county treasurer's office for past
years have averaged about 100000
per year, while the collections for
the past eight months of the present
year were s74,972.72. The county's
indebtedness on September 1st was
$4,50O. Many thousands of dollars
have been spent the past year on
the Improvement Of roads and this
small indebtedness shows the econo-
my of our efficient board of county
commissioners. 1t also shows that
money is more plentiful, and enables
people to be more prompt in the pay
ment of taxes. The great prosperity
that abounds everywhere in the land,

And leave the youngster to his fate.

As well as those Of legal note?

Who said that he had quit damna-

And was worthy OF the nomination.
The first he did, was to get a mo.

To gather in the distant voter;
And when his arduous work was
done.
Twas found that he had slightly
won.
His car was strong, with brace and

Well suited, for this famed mogul
To carry voters to win his cause,
And make him monarch of the laws.
The news went forth that he had

And what this 1.-THE young man had

AS he sat that day in his Maxwell

And beat three-fiftbs of the county

But he always will cherish his Max

Which served the same purpose, as
the one-hoss shay,
That went to pieces. all in day.
