METAL MINERS ATTENTION

The annual meeting of the Colorado
Metal Mining association which meet
in Denver January 9, 10 and IL,
should be we'll attended by every
mining chapter in the state and each
send a full set of delegates.
The outlook for mining never look
ed better, and many Of the metals
now command a higher price than
ever before, especially silver and cop
per. These metals will be high for
many years to come regardless Of
the termination Of the European war,
and metal mining Of all kinds will
be taxed to its utmost.
With the wars termination, many
lines of industry will be lax, but not
SO with metal mining. The great
destruction of property in that coun-
try for the past two and one-half
years, will call for large amounts Of
copper, lead and iron. and their de-
pleted treasures will call for millions
Of ounces Of silver for coinage pur-
poses.
Colorado Is now, and ever has been.
the leader of all the states in the
production of silver, as we'll as that
of many Of the other metals, and 1t
is to this state that capital will seek
its most incentive force, and idle
capital cannot do better than to in.
vest in Colorado silver and gold
mines where there is a chance for
reliable profits on their investment.

stocks will slump with the progress
of peace efforts and silver will ad.
vance at the same time and in a pro
portionate amount. A sacrifice of
profits now in the sale of the specu.
lative stocks can be more than COM

now, but will be on the boom in a

the best time to get into mining. -

GOLD AND SILVER
MONEY IN USE

According to statement issued by
the National City bank of New York,
eight billion dollars in gold has been
mined in the last 25 years, against
an equal amount in the 400 years pre-
ceding.
The gold money of the world has
doubled in the last twenty years,
while silver money has decreased one
half in the same period. The bank.
1t was said, was impelled to issue
the statement because of the excep-
tionally high price Of silver, Of which
the United States was now the
worlds largest producer, and the
large inflow of gold, of which this
country had imported more than
$500, ,00O,O since the beginning of
the year.
THE total production of gold from
the discovery of America to the pres
ent time was $16,5OO, 900 900 in coin
ing value" the statement said. "The
gold money Of all countries of the
world for which statistics were avail
able in 1896 aggregated $4,144 200, 900,
and on Jan. 1, 1916, $S,25S, 900 900;
silver money of the same countries
was in 1896, $4,237 900 900, and in
1916, $2.441 100000. The uncovered
paper money of the countries in
question was stated in 1896 at $685.
900 900, and in 1916 at IS, $50. 600. 900"
Down to 1885 the worlds gold out
put never reached as much as $780,
100000 annually; in 1896 it crosses
the 5000, O,000,0 900 line; in 1908, $780,
900 900, and in 1906, for the first time
exceeded $500, 100000. 1t advanced
steadily until it reached $40, ,000, 900,
in 1915 Silver production first ex-
ceeded 500 100000 annually in 1880,
and in 1893 exceeded. for the first
time, 5000, 900 900, making its highest
record in 1911, $292, 900 900, and slow
ly declining to $2s2,OoO,OO in 1915.

METAL MINE
PRODUCTION IN 1916

The mine output of gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc in Colorado for
LII months of 1916 and the estimated
output for December, according to
data compiled by Charles w. Hen

ical Survey, Department of the Inter-
ior, indicates yield for the year of
$ls,940,O00 in gold, 100000 ounces
of silver. 7O.200.OOO pounds of lead

lead in leaded-zinc oxide), $500 900
pounds Of copper and 130, ,OOO, 900
pounds of zinc lin terms of spelter

value Of nearly $4,000 900 compared
with s22,414,944 in gold, 7,O27, ,972
ounces of silver, 6S,S1O,597 pounds of
lead, 7,112,537 pounds of copper, and
1O4 ,594,994 pounds of zinc, with a to-
tai value of $43.426.697 in 1915. This
shows decrease of nearly $3.475 900

creased average value Of metals, the
values show increases of $1,451 900
for lead. $1,10S,OO0 for copper and
$3.50, 900 for zinc.
Boulder, Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties produced 100000 in gold,
$4,000 ounces of silver, $500 900
pounds of lead, 100000 pounds of
copper and 2,5OO,O2O pounds of zinc,

its 1915 yield except for gold, there
being a decrease of $4,000 for that.
metal. Clear Creek county's yield
for all metals increased somewhat
and Gilpin county maintained its 1915
yield.
The year 1917, just being entered
upon, will undoubtedly be one of the
most prolific mining years in the
history of the state, as the high price
for many Of our metals will prevail
for several years to come, and those
who are fortunate enough to secure
good mining groups will be amply re-
warded by reaping fortunes from the
bowels of mother earth that is free
from the stigma of tainted money.

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR

The dying year has been one that
has brought Joy to the hearts of the
maps as well as gloom to the few.
Durssv the year just ending the coun-
try nas been assured of a continual
ton of the policies Of. the past that
has treught prosperity on every hand.
Not only did the wool grower, and
farmer, the manufacturer and stock
raiser profit by a continual advance
in price of articles in their line. but
the metal producer has cause to re-
joice by the healthy and steady ad-
vance in all kinds of ores.
Although the year 1916 was one Of
reasonable prosperity, all signs point
to 1917 as a year of more than or
dinary activity in all the mining coun.
try, especially in Gilpin county, where
the golden sands, floating for CEN
turies adown our creeks and rivulets,
from our immense fissures attracted
the eye of man, -and laid the founda-
ton of this far western empire, that
attracted all classes from both the
occident and the orient to the great
gold fields Of Gilpin county where
Colorado's rivulets roll down their
golden sands.
The year about to be entered upon
seems to bear the earmarks of the
most successful year in the county's 8
history for several reasons. First, the
rise in values of all kinds Of metals
has given the mining business a new
impetus, and many long-idle mines
are preparing for the hum of indus
try. The Quartz hill district, that
once made the county famous is
about to resume it's old-time activity
by the reopening OF group of mines
backed by eastern capitalists. The
Lake district, that has lain nearly
dormant for several years, has now
become an active hive of industry,
while the famous Gregory diggings
around Black Hawk is Indicative OF
a great awakening The Hughesville
district that was once a great silver
producer, when that metal command
ed high price, will undoubtedly be
reopened, as the present price of
that metal will now allow Of them be-
ing worked at a profit. The north
ern and western portion of the coun-
ty has made rapid strides in the last
year on account Of the discovery OF
good mines Of tungsten and the COM
ing year will see great activity in
that locality.
Now Is the appointed time for cap.
ital to invest in an industry that ac'
cording to government statistics re.
turns a four times greater dividend
than any other line of endeavor.

coLoRADo-cARR SHIPMENTS

A settlement on carload Of
screenings from the Colorado Carr
mine the latter part of the week
brought a nice little cheek for Christ
mas. There were two lots In the
shipment, the first-class returning
1.36 ozs. gold, 9.45 ozs, silver and
13.20% dry copper, or $4,000 ton
net. The second-class netted $41 90
a ton. The ore came from the Hit
chings lease in the 80O-foot level in
the breast, where in drifting 30 feet
ore to the value Of 81, ,220 was taken
out. The 500 looks like a bonanza
and stopping has just been started.
There are 80 feet of backs and IL
the ore in the slopes is as rich as
that in the drift Hitchings and as
sociates will clean up a handsome
fortune.

ELECTRIC POWER ON
THE EVERGREEN MILL

Three electric motors are in Dem
yer for the Evergreen company, op-
Grating in the Apex section. These
are so, 40 and 25 h. p. motors and
will be installed in the mill, one to
run the crusher, one for grinding and
rolls and one for the flotation plant.
By having the power in units big
saving will be made as it will not
be necessary to run. machinery that
is not needed. The electric power
line has been into the Evergreen
since November. 1t is the intention
OF the company to electrify the mine
this coming spring.
Water is being kept out of the
mine SO that the big tonnage broken
in the workings can be taken out
soon after the first Of the year, when
the mill will be started and kept in
steady operation. The flotation pro-
cess recently added to the mill does
splendid work, making saving over
800 possible. The Evergreen ore
runs high in copper values and is
well adapted to the flotation system.
The last shipment of concentrates
from the mill, made during this
month, brought SPITE per hundred
pounds for the copper and when the
mine was outputting three years ago
the copper brought 1926 per hundred
pounds. With this difference in the
value Of their product, it isn't any
wonder that the company is anxious
to get busy and make record. Con-
sidering the unusually high copper
values contained in the Evergreen
ores, together with q process that
will make a big saving, the mine
should shortly be producing great
wealth.

Psychology of the Goose-Step.

From the Manchester Guardian
How many people know the psyche
logical purpose of the Soose-step,
which is SO perseveringly practiced in
German military drill: II is well
known that our emotions and the tone
and action of our minds depend Ian gely
upon our physical state, and are in
fuenced by the body's attitude and
tension Courage rises with muscular
effort, and mental balance is steadied
as breathing deepens. Any civilian will
tell you that his mentality is affected
by being drilled in an upright carriage
and in standing firm and straight upon
the feet. The use OF the unfiexed leg
in the goose step is but incidental The
main purpose of the goose-step is to
bring into consciousness and under i'm
mediate control the soldiers physical
support. German officers believe that
the consciously finn knees resulting
from the exaggerated goose step have
d wholesome effect on a soldiers state
of mind OF course, it must be Il mind
that has no room for humor. And who
can say how much else this strange
exercise eliminates from the human
beings who practice it, and how far
German kultur and it's methods are
not only symboliZed but modified by
this national drill in the goose-step.

Expansion of Tin Industry.

When the engagements now in prog
ress in the plant of the Mckeesport Tin
Plate Company at McKeesport, Pa,
have been completed the United States
viii have the biggest tinplate plant in
the world. The tin industry is one in
which this country is just beginning
TO come to the front, but the expan-
sion iif the last year has been very
rapid.
Through the activities of the United
States commercial attache at Lima
Peru, the big Bolivian tin business has
been brought to the Cnited States. This
business was formerly transacted en-
tirely in London. AS a result of the
change the smelling of tin ore will be
carried on in the United States for the
first time, and the whole Industry gets
a big stimulus.
The McKeesport plating plant will be
increased in size until ii includes a
total of forty-two miles. This is
greater by ten mills than any similar
plant in the world. Besides the new
construction, there will be extensive

The Specter of Pauperism.

-
Do you know that in the United States
sixty-six out of every 100 people that die
leave no estate whatever? Do you know
that out of the remaining thirty-four
only nine leave estates larger than $1,000,
and that the average OF the balance of
twenty-five is little less than $1,000?
Do you know that at the age of sixty
five, ninety-seven out of every 100 in
America are partly or wholly dependent
upon relatives. friends or the public for
their daily bread, for their clothing, and
a roof under which to sleep? We all know
that the one safeguard against pauperism
by the countries of Europe has been thrift.
France. Germany, Belgium, Holland and
Switzerland have been the leaders in
thrift Do you realize that according TO
recent government statistics 9S per cent
Of the American people are living from
day to day on their wages, and that a
loss of employment would mean pauper-
ism for all but per cent of us?
