LET US HAVE MORE LIGHT

The contract fer lighting our city
expires in May, ard It is up to our
city council to make new contract
that will be more beneficial to its
citizens. Let our council give us a
better lighting system. than the pres
ent one or give us none at all.
AS the business outlook for the
town is very optimistic, and as there
will be many strangers in our city
the coming summer, it is but justice
to our business section to have two
arc lights placed on Main street, and
an additional number of smaller lights
in the residence part Of the city.
Electrical power, both for mines
and private lighting has been reduc-
ed since the present contract was
entered into and we believe that the
city could make a contract that will
enable US to have these extra lights
without additional cost. Let the city
take the matter under advisement
with the electrical company, who
would no doubt be consistent, and
see If the new contract will not pro-
vide us with a better system Of light

TUESDAY READING CLUB
PLANNING HOME GARDENS

The Tuesday Reading club held a
home of Mrs. q. w. o. Williams.
The garden movement, which has
gained great Importance recently in
view Of the steady increase in the
cost Of living, is again being taken
up by the Tuesday Reading club.
The club is now getting ready for
the campaign, and as early as posi-
Bile the children of the Central, Cath
olic and Black Hawk schools will be
givep flower and vegetable seeds for
planting. The club believes that ev-
cry child in the city that has access
to even a tiny patch OF ground Will
want to plant a garden this year, and
that socn the whole town will be
awakened to the value of the move
ment. Amy person with a small yard
space can raise enough vegetables
to supply the table all through the
summer months. When you consider
that the average family spends about
SO or SO a week on vegetables in the
summer season, you see what diff
ference this makes in the grocery
bills.
The club will meet again next Tues
day, April 3rd, with Mrs. Patterson.

HERE is A TYPICAL
BILLY SUNDAY PRAYER

Billy Sundays prayers are thor
oughly characteristic of the man. To
him, God is not an abstract, far-off
inscrutable thing. Billy talks to God
as intimately as to friend in his
prayers. There is no Journalism. He
does not use the expressions, Thee"
and Thou" This is a typical Billy
Sunday prayer:
"Oh, Lord, sweep over this city an
save the business men of this COM
munity, the young men and women.
Ch, God, save us all from the cess
pools of he'll and corruption into the
ranks of that miserable Godforsaken
crew who are feeding, fattening and
gormandizing on the people. Get ev-
erybody interested In honesty, and
decency, and sobriety, and make then
fight to the last ditch for God. There
are too many towards, fourflushers

SHELTER INVESTIGATION
TO BEGIN AT ONCE

The committee whi is to investi-
gate the operations of the smelter
trust and it's charges, provided for
in bill passed in the recent session
of the legislature, have informed the
governor that they are ready to be-
gin their work. Siewers Fincher. sem
ator from this district, who was one
Of the intrcducers of the bill, will in
all probability be chairman of the
committee. The other members sell
ected by the legislature are Senator
Candlish and Representatives Ardour-
el, Mcdonald and Nagle.
The members OF the investigating
committee will not be allowed to ac-
cept any remuneration whatever for
their work, the $4,000 appropriated
by the legislature going for the pur-
pose of hiring experts to make the
actual investigations. The first step
in the investigation will be to ap-
point consulting mining engineer
and statistician, who will at once
begin their preliminary work.
The object OF the investigation is
to find out why the smelters should
arbitrarily make a profit of 200 per
cent on metals when miners in the
state are forced to accept prices for
their ores far below the price quot
ed ON the market.
I'VE are going to be hampered be-
cause we have not large enough

appropriation is still large enough to
permit real investigation and to
secure real results"

LYcEUM COURSE
FOR 1917 AND 1918

The Lyceum Course committee af-
ter great deal of thoughtful deliber-
alton decided to offer to the people
OF Gilpin county another lyceum
course for the winter of 1917 and
1918. They however, decided to
eharge bureaus and also to change
the nature of the course. According
ly we deal with the Ellison-White Blu
reau and have four musical numbers
instead of two as We had last year.
Each one of the five numbers is more
costly than amy We had during the
season just passed and will certain
ly be even more enjoyable than that
very excellent course. We made a
little money on last years course and
we have pure just that muoh
better course for next year.
Cur first number will probably be
the Musical Arts Quartet; another
is the Mildred Morrison Co., a read.
er, violinist and a trombone play
or; another is the Swiss Alpine, Jod
lers, company Of five who sing,
play various instruments including
the either and jcdle just as they do
at home in Tyrol; ano her number is
the Russian Imperial Quartet, COM
posed Of two women, who are singers
of note and performers on several
Instruments; the last number will be
RalIh Parlette who ranks with DR..
Herbert as a great platform lecturer
These are the numbers which the
committee have chosen from among
a great number as being the most
likely to please Gilpin county. In
addition the manager is trying to
make arrangements for another num-
ber which will maie six numbers to
be offered at $500 for adults and
$1.00 for children. lt
The manager expects to see the
lyceum supporters next week. (spring
vacaticn) and raise the guarantee
just as we did last year. We have
the same sort of contract we had
last year i. e. If We can sell suffi-
cient season tickets we are bound
for the course, otherwise we are. not
So 1t is a matter for the people to
decide. If they agree to take enough
season tickets this excellent course
Is assured. I am sure the people
will rise to the occasion as they did
SO nobly last year.

LEAD ORE PRICES
RAISE AT MILLS
By Capt. James T. Smith

BY Capt. James T. Smith
During the past week the American
Smelling and Refining company ad-
vanced the allowance to miners for
lead in ores to the extent Of 25 cents
per unit Of lead contents, Cr $1.25 per
100 pounds. The purpose Of this
change in favor Of the miner is to
encourage the production, Of .lead-bea
ing ores. Under the new rule the
allowance is three-fourths Of the set.
Element quotation in excess Of 81
per 100 pounds. Under the old rule
1t was one-half of such excess. The
gain to the miner is $25 to the ton
Of lead in the ore.

The county commissioners have
asked for $20, 900 from the state high
way commi ssion to spend ON the
Bellevue mountain road, which would
be the connecting link with the Estes
or Rocky Mountain Park from Den
yer, and the Loveland pass read,
which would connect Summit, Lake,
Eagle, Grand and Moffat counties
with Denver by a route considerably
shorter than the one they have to
travel now. Both are commendable
propositions. Cne would bring all the
travel from Middle park this way,
while the other would be the most
feasible route for all the ,Gilpin coun.
ty people to reach Denver. The road
from Central City should be contin-
ned up Chicago creek, which would
make the most feasible route for the
forest officials and the city of Den
ver to reach the summit of Mt. Ev-
ans. II Denver really wants to build
road to the top OF Mt Evans, the
best way to reach 1t would be by
building a road up Chicago creek
where they would have cne OF the
finest scenic drives to be found in
the state and one that could be reach
ed with grade that would not ex-
coed seven per cent at any time

WONDERFUL.
IMPROVEMENTS

The change of charter of the city
Of Central. by our last legislature.
has worked wonders for the benefit
of the city. Our efficient city coun-
Gil, ever ready to exercise, not only
in combining the sanitary with the
beautiful, anticipating . an unusual
rush of tourist travel, have in their
mind many elaborate improvements.
The snow that has banked our
streets for the past winter is to be
allowed to waste away. under the
scorching rays of a meridian sun, and
In it's stead will be built fine maca-
dam cutters. The boulevards that
skirt Winnebago hill will be parked
with native grasses, and the cement
curbing will be laid under the skill
full eye Of Professor Rian. "A centri-
fugal pump will be installed at north
Clear creek, and portion of its sill
very waters will be pumped over Nag
gle hill to the park at the Mack
brewery, where miniature falls will be
made to resemble the celebrated
Yosemite.
A large receiver is to be erected
at the old McFarlane machine shops,
to store the surplus air that is daily
being waited from our Alpine noun
tain peaks, and a pipe will be laid
to a huge organ located on the Gold
man corner where strains of the
most select music will float on our
twilight mountain air much to the
delight of our citizens, as well as the
foreign guests at the well-filled and
romantic hotels.
These, and many o.her improve
ments are contemplated in the minds
of our city dads for the coming sum-
mer, who never grow weary of ac-
commodating their constituency, even
though their peaceful slumbers are
disturbed with public affairs.

REASON FOR REVIVAL !.
IN COLORADO MINING

The revival of the mining industry
in Colorado is real and substantial,
says the Rocky Mountain Herald.
The general increase in the price of
silver, Notwithstanding the fluctua-
ti;'ns between 20 and so cents, has
resulted in marked activity in all the
mining camps There is no boom.
None is wanted. Since the demoneti-
zaticn of silver, mining has been re-
tarded, except in the gold camps, and
in those whose excess products above
silver, such as copper, lead and other
development. Silver is found with
cher metals, and its increase in val
ue. owing to the European war, and
the final adj djustment that must come
OF the vast debts that have been in
curred, has awakened new and
hopeful interest in this industry. We
do not expect a revival OF the issue
OF 16 to l. That now is mere of a
question for the east and the Euro
pean governments. The west should
mot raise this old issue, and we do
not believe it will do so. The Euro
!, peau war debts have become so enor-
NOUS that many believe they cannot
be paid fully in gold. 1t would seem
that some adjustment will be neces-
sary fer a larger use of silver, con-
sistent with the protection OF all in
vestments founded on a gold basis.
The revolution in Russia, with the
possibility ct similar one in Ger
many and other countries, may result
in bankruptcy or Reputation by the
new forms of government unless some
vestments in European war loans
may prove hazardous unless a more
expansive use of silver may be real
lied. European labor fer genera
tions is virtually mortgaged for the
payment Of these debts. After the
old silver fight. the west re-adjusted
herself to new conditions. In addi-
tion to gold, copper. lead, zinc, spell
ter, tungsten, radium, other pro-
ducts have been the source OF most
activity. The product Of the white
metal, although leading asset, is not
80 valuable to the west as when the
center of our mining industry. But
the world upheaval will increase the
demand for silver, and higher price
is now demanded. 1t is not forced
Through any selfish request by the
west, but the needs of the east and
Europe demand it. Hunger, misery,
want and suffering is now the com
mon fate of millions in Europe. Other
revolutions may come, and IL the fin
ansial burdens become too oppres-
sdve exhaustion may force repudia-
ton unless there fellows some expan-
sion i'm the use of silver. How and
when this may be accomplished is
one OF the great problems of the fu-
| ture

N. Y. PAPERS ASSERT
STONE KAISER'S TOOL
Say He Has Always Sacrificed American
Rights in Presence of
Germany

New York, March 9.-Calling for Sen
ator William Joel Stones resignation as
chairman of the Senate foreign relations
committee, the New York Morning World
said yesterday:
Under disguise as transparent as any
assumed by the innumerable agents OF
the kaiser's propaganda in this country
he has been revealed time and again as
one who, in the presence of Germany,
would equivocate, abate and even sacri-
fee American rights.
He has made this plain from the day
OF the Lusitania horror, which he dis
missed as lightly as any junker and for
which he found as many excuses as any
instructed German American In all es-
sentials involving Germany he has been
persistently in opposition TO the United
States, and yet has retained Senate
Craftsmanship which gives him immense
influence upon the foreign policy of the
United States"
The New York Morning Sun bitterly
attacks Senator Stone, declaring he
should be deprived of his craftsmanship.
mo fact in the record of William j.
Stone entities him to the important and
confidential Office he holds to-day" said
The Sun. His continuance therein con-
stitutes a menace TO the safety of the
United States. His disappearance there
from would take a load of fear off the
mind of every patriotic American at
home and abroad"

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys
If Bladder Bothers
You

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well konwn authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat exctes the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation,
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take
"A tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid OF grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lthia, and
has been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no donger irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes
a delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which millions Of men and women
take now and then to keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding
serious kidney disease.-Adv.
