Rich District To Be
ThOrOIy Exploited

The pool formed to operate the
Argentine and Creole lodes on
Leavenworth mountain have
placed Billy Gibson in charge as
mine captain.
These claims adioin the east end
lines of the Colorado Central and
Aliundi veins in one Of the richest
and most productive districts in
the county.
They were worked extensively
along the Apex about thirty years
ago, and produced something like
100000 in high grade ore, the
greatest depth attained by the
workings being less than 100 feet.
1t seems strange that valuable
property like this should be neg
lected all these years. but it is
one ofthe peculiar things frequently
occurring in mining
The slope of this mountain is
notable, not only for the number
and richness of it's lodes, but as
being the field of the most re-
markable float ore ever found.
The float collected along the
surface of the Colorado Central
vein was estimated from 100000
to $3.50, 600 prior to the discovery
of the vein.
While the surface is to be thor
oughly exploited to recover ore
known to have been left years ago,
a tunnel is to be driven to in
tersect the veins at much greater
depth, when it is confidently ex-
pected the continuity of the ore

No News from Soldier
Means He Is All Ridht

Although the failure to receive
letters from men in the service is
not pleasant to relatives and friends
at home the adage mo news is
good news" never was more true
than at present. The report of
every casualty at home or abroad
is Immediately wired or cabled to
officials at Washington, being re-
layed from there without loss of
time to the emergency address of
the soldier or sailor affected. 1t
is also at once released for publ
cation in the newspapers No
news of casualties has or will be
held up.
No man in the service has re-
ceived orders not to write home;
he has been urged, on the contrary,
to keep in touch with relatives and
friends. The forces in France
have at their disposal post cards
giving general information in re.
gard to health and the receipt of
letters and parcels, which may be
dispatched without payment OF
postage.
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldiers and
sailors reaches them promptly.
Where the regimental and COM
pany designation of soldier is
not known it may be secured by
application to The Adjutant Gen
erals Office, Washington, d. G.
In one week l,674 letters with
insufficient addresses were received
ut this Office. On 1882 the ad.
dresses were completed and they
were forwarded, 1913 were returned
to senders, 50 went to the dead
letter Office because senders' adj
dresses were held with the view
that the addresses might be COM
pleted later.

SPRINGS COLO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7,
Red Cross Notes

The Ways and Means committee
are working hard for the success of
the Red Cross dance which will be
held at the Opera House on Mon
day, Dec. II. The affair this year
promises to be larger and even
better than last years dance and as
it will probably be the last Red
Cross dance before the next draft
takes all the boys, everyone should
lend their assistance to make it one
grand success. Instead of waiting
for the members of the committee
or any Of their co-workers to call
on you and ask you to buy ticket,
why notlgo to them and ask for
one? Think what help it would
be to them and they will appreciate
your timely act. Tickets may be
procured from any member of the
committee, which is composed of
Mrs. H. E. Machol, Mrs. l.. S.
Stewart, Mrs. w. A. Funk, Mrs.
E. r. Plummer and Miss Gretchen
Lyon.
The Christmas boxes which are
to be sent to the boys from this
county to the various training
camps are all packed and will soon
be started on their way with their
messages of good cheer. In the
boxes were Red Cross writing
pads, tobacco, handkerchiefs, gum.
games, candy, salted nuts, cookies,
trench mirrors and fruit cake.
The boys will surely have feast
and a royal good time when they
receive all these good things and
we hope their first Christmas in
the ~aanYsI will be. a merry cae~
There were forty y-six boxes in all.
ID. j. Donnelly very generously
donated twin calves to the Red
Cross this week, which were i'm
mediately disposed of by Mrs. H.
E. Machol, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, who is ever
on the alert for ways and means to
fill the Golfers of the Red Cross as
sociation. Mr. w. r. Hireen, on
hearing of Mr.. Donnelly's generous
gift and Mrs. MachoPs plea for
assistance, decided the calves would
make very fine Christmas gift
for one of his employees, Hans
Jaenson, so he wrote ont check
for Sl5 for the Red Cross and Mr..
Jaenson will receive as big ben
eft as the Red Cross. Who says
the people of this city are not
bending every effort to help the
boys at the front?
Our boys are now in the thick
est Of the fight and theirheroic work
will bring about the freedom of
the world. They need us-and
we, the Red Cross Branch, need
your help. During the Christ
mas season when the spirit of

TER OF MARINE, RESIGNS.
Revolt In Navy Is Given as Reason
Crews Of Six Vessels In In
surrection.

Amsterdam, Oct. 1J.--Vice Admiral
Won Capelle, the German minister of
marine, has resigned, according to the
Frankfurter ZeItung.
Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle
was one of the administrative directors
In the ministry of marine before the
war and had served as captain ut
sea. In March. 1916, he succeeded Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz as imperial minister
of the navy.
Vice Admiral Won Capellc announced
in the reichstng that plot had been
discovered in the navy to paralyze the
efficiency of the fleet and force the
government to make peace. He said
that the guilty parties had received
their just deserts and attempted to
link socialists with the plot.
The socialists and their newspapers
have attacked the vice admiral for his
statements.
1t is fact that the insurrcction
took place on at least six important
units of the grand fleet and thar IL
not only put the ships out of action
but caused the authorities Ia doubt
the discipline and loyalty of the crews
Of other large ships.
The seriousness of the event is
shown by facts brought out in the
reichstag and in comments In the
press. with the object OF handing
the ships over to the enemy fairly
and literally describes what was at
