DUTIES FOR GiLPIN -
METAL MINES CHAPTER

The Gilpin County Chapter ct The
Metal Mines association, at the pres
ent time the most numerous and eff
ficient chapter in the state, and In
connection with that of Boulder and
Clear Creek counties, has accom-
plished much good In the way of
better rates on the smelling of gold
and silver Cres, as well as all the
by-products commonly associated with
the same. This places 1t in a favor
able position to be. heard in the
halls of congress regarding legisla-
tion now pending in that august body
regarding mining in the mountain
states.
The congress of the United States,
that is the governing body in all
matters pertaining to public domain,
has never authorized the withdrawal
of lands above timber line for forest
reserves, and such acts only emana.e
from the arbitrary rulings OF the Sec
retary of tie interior and his subor-
dinates, and their acts should be
brought to the attention of congress.
Secretary Lane, as we'll as many of
his predecessors, has governed and
is now governing much of the public
domain without warrant of law.
Boulder. Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties contain many rare minerals,
such as tungsten, molybdenum and
vanadium, that are now commanding
exceedingly high prices in the mar
kets of the world, and our mountains
above timber line within the last
six months have been found to con-
tain these different minerals in COM
mercial Quantitit s, and when spring
opens the county Will be swarmed
with prospectors that should not be
interferred with by forest rangers.
At present there are approximately
20 COO. 900 acres of mineral lands in
Colorado above timber line, that are
not under tie lawful jurisdiction OF
the forest reserve, and much of these
acres abound in rare metals, and
of the prospectCr for the search of
these minerals without reserve.
At present the forest ranger ex-
ercises jurisdiction over these lands
without warrant of law other than
q ruling from the forestry depart
ment. who assume to exercise their
prerogatives through the secretary Of
agriculture. These lands were with
drawn for-ho other reason, than tfat
the secretary of the interior want
ed them Withdrawn and held intact
for leasing purposes to favorite syn
dicates.
Let the chapters of the different
metal counties of the state, commu-
nicate with our senators and con-
gressmen and have congress pass a
resolution authorizing the president
to issue a proclamation. eliminating
all lands above timber line from for
estry domination.

She struggled through the initiation as
a typist and stenographer and secured

misfortune seemed to pursue her. HeI

had no means of replenishing it. She
was, indeed, detected at times, always
however, seeing that her mother was

She fancied that she caught the echo

Flora reached the Office of Fairfax

information clerk, who went into a
private office, and, returning, stated
that Mr.. Fairfax wished to see her.
Flora was impressed with the kindly
face of the young man, who, it seemed,
was the head of the business. He
nodded intelligently as he read the
letter and wrote a line on card.

Life is one long competition, and
the quicker we realize it the sooner we
will fit ourselves for the struggles.
There is no position for which there
is not more than one aspirant. If the
place we want were not desirable we
would not want it. And we should
know that if it seems desirable in our
eyes it certainly must seem so in 9TH

So it must go to the best mantle

others drop back one by one, accord

Women More Religious Than Men.

Women More Religious Than Men.
The real reason why women are
more religious than men today is be-
cause they are more human than men.
1t is not by nature that they are so.
Social conditions have made them so.
AS we have divided the labor of the
world between the sexes, the work of
men is almost entirely concerned with
the production and distribution Of
things; the work of women almost en-
tirely with the production and sus-
tenance of persons. We all Of us at
times notice the great throngs of men
who go, at the call of the whistle, in
and out of our great factories. To the
average mans mind, these hundreds
of men are hands," and the purpose
of the factories where they are en-
ployed is to produce goods but to
the average womans mind, these hun
dreds of laborers are human beings,
and the purpose of the factories is to
furnish sustenance, through pay en-
velopes, to men and women and boys
and girls and babies yet unborn. In
