DOES MINING PAY?

This question is often being asked
by many OF those in the east who
nave idle money seeking investment.
TO those inquiries we would state
that there is no legitimate business
that produces so clean and great an
income as mining when properly con
quoted along lines of efficiency and
&conomy
N The mines of Cripple Creek pro-
daced dividends for the year 1915 to
the amount of s6,500,0O0, while the
dividend paying mines of Leadville
the San Juan country, Summit, Boul-
der Gilpin and Clear Creek, produc-
ed handsomely. The Lake mine, in
this county, at times produced $1,000
per day, while the Pittsburg produc-
ed large dividends each month, as
well as several others.
The deep tunnels driven under Cen
tral City, at a depth varying from
400 to 2,40O feet, reveal larger and
richer veins than many at the sur
face, and proves conclusively THAI,
the deeper our mammoutM fissures
are explored, the richer and larger
they become. The Gunnell, Prize
Lake and Bellman, that are now
Sinking below these tunnel levels
are encountering richer ore than at
the tunnel level
The northern part of the county
that has been practically dormant
since gold was first discovered, is
TO be prominent factor in the 1915
output, as several large gold produc-
ers were developed the past year
that will add largely to the output
and within the last three months sew.
lerai tungsten and molybdenum mines
were discovered in this section, tha.
|wi,i be worked extensively the com
ing summer and add largely to the
coanty's wealth.
The year 1916 bids fair to be q

EARLY MORNING FIRE

Last SunGay morning at 2 o'clock,
as Candido visintine was passing
the residence of Robert Sayre, on
west High street, he discovered the
Kitchen to be -on fire. He aroused
Mr.. Sayre and family who were
soundly sleeping in an adjoining room
and then proceeded to ring the fire
bell. Neighbors soon appeared, up
on the scene and extinguisted the
fire before the fire companies arr.v-
ed. The fire originated from de-
fective flue leading from the furnace
in the basement through the floor of
the kitchen, and had it been discov-
cred ten minutes later, the entire
house would have been in ruins. The
damage was about 5000, fully pro-
tected by insurance.
1t is a shame that the city coun-
Gil provides no fire watch to protect
the citizens property, who are will
ing to pay the tax for that purpose.
Had 1t not been for the timely dis
covery by Mr.. Visintine, this house,
as we'll as many of the neighboring
ones might have been destroyed.
We know the council is trying to
keep down expense, but it Is short
sightedpess to deprive the city of
a night watchman who guards our
property from fire and burglars while
we enjoy peaceful slumbers. Let
this be warning. that a night
watchman is just as essential to a
city's welfare as a city council.

MiSMANAGEMENT CAUSE OF
MANY MINE FAILURES

II has been truthfuEy said that one
of the greatest evils of the mining
industry is mismanagement, says the
Pitkin Colo, Miner. Mining is a
business, big business. There are
schools where men get special train
ing for this particular business, and
then grow gray at the work, and
many will admf. that they do not
know it all. And yet, many an east
crn company have elected for gen.
era! manager some eastern friend
who, perchance, never saw mine
and would have to look in the die
tionary to find out the definition Of
the word, send him out West and
expect him to tackle the job that
ofttimes would be hard one for a
veteran manager.
But the new manager" (please
pardon the use of the world, who
possibly was an inefficient clerk of
a worthless son of one of the promi-
nent stockholders, arrives at the
property swelled up worse than the
man with his first term in public of
flee. and begins squandering the COM
pany's money. as he doesn't know
how to use it to the advantage that
ordinary common sense would teach
some men. He will not quit, how
ever, nor will he ask anybody how
it should be done, but keeps on un-
tel he uses all the money the stock
holders will put UP and then. through
necessity, has to close down. And
some of the stockholders wonder why
there wasn't more accomplished, but
never think 1t was mismanagement.
If company gees into any other
business. no matter what it may be,
trained man is usually put at the
head of 1t. You never heard of a
janitor at the head of a bank; or
a delivery man suddenly placed in
charge of big merchandise busi-
ness, ncr a section foreman made
general manager Of even a small ral-
road. Even the man who buys big
stock ranch hires an experienced
foreman. Yet mining. one Of the big
industries, can be done by anybody.
Oh, no, experience is not necessary.
If 1t can't be made to pay, blame
the property. Miss Management
couldn't possibly have had anything
to do with it,
An old-time mining man said to
us recently that most Of the fau't
with mining in this section is not in
the properties. but in the manage
ment of them" And we believe that
the time is not far distant when in-
vestors in mining stock will not only
see that the property looks good, but
that the general manager is an ex-
perienced mining man.

A NEW INVENTION

On Of the young inventors of our
city has completed an invention that
puts one over cn Henry Ford, the in
ventor of the Tin Lizzies," who has
flooded the country with his ma
chimes by the hundreds of thou
sands.
This young inventor is the unfor-
tunate owner of one of these ma
chimes, that is liable at any moment
to leave one stranded on the crest
of our lofty mountain peaks, where
the bass voice of the mountain lion,
nightly blends with the more refined
soprano notes CT the Mountain
Canary" conceived the idea of amel-
iorating these conditions by invent
ing homogeneous flexible propeller,
commonly known as collapsible
go cart).
This trouble saving machine is no
other than collapeible balloon made
of thin rubber at the Arvada Rubber
Tire factory, having two compart-
ments. This balloon can be packed
in box attached to the running
board of the machine, and when the
Lizzie bucks, or in any way refuses
to perform the functions guaranteed
by the great promoter of the worlds
peace, the chauffeur can take his
collapsible and envelop the machine
in an air tight case. fill the outer
compartment with gas furnished by
escaping fumes from the engine, that
shortly resolves itself into Zeppelin
dirigible that floats away through
lboundless realms OF space. and where
the occupant can gain birdseye
view of things terrestrial.
This machine will become inva'ri-
able to tourists, as one can travel
to the top of our rugged peaks where
automobile roads will never pene-
trate The inventor is willing to
appropriate one-half of the revenue
derived from this invention to I'm
Gle Sem TO build coast defenses in
California to protect its shores from
Hobson's yellow peril.
