GIVE US BiMETALLISM

The article contributed in last
weeks Mining American, by Leopold
Sternberger regarding returning to a
bimetallic basis of all the countries
of the world, is timely and to the
point.
When we see all the gold standard
countries of the world compelled in
the present crisis, to coin and circu-
late silver to satisfy their debts, it
becomes self-evident fact that the
financial success of nations depends
upon the use of silver with gold.
AS he so aptly points out, that
there are now over eleven hundred
million of the people of the world
that are using silver as medium of
exchange, and the o:her five hundred
and fifty million are using 1t as a
subsidiary money, it can readily be
seen that if one of the great nations
OF the earth would return to bimetal-
ism, other nations would soon follow.
1t has been the contention of the
Observer fer several years, that
should the United States government
tthe leading financial nation of the
world return to the use of gold and
silver as money metal at a given
ratio, other nations would be quick
to follow. Unless silver is again re-
stored as a money medium of ex-
change, many of the countries of
Europe mus of necessity go bank
rupt, and we deem It wise for our
government to take the initiative. and
prove itself to be the leading finan-
cial nation of the earth.

case of the People VS.. John O'Brien,
charged with burglary ard larceny

soon as a jury is secured in the case
of Max Gaharci ct al, VS.. the Square
Deal Mining Co., the Colcmo Mining

the O'Brien case was such as would
create doubt in the mind of the
jury as to the guilt of the defendant.
OBrien was charged with having en-.
tered the hcme of Mrs. Dora James
and taken seme bedding. The bed
ding was found on the premises of
O'Brien by Mrs. James but not i'm

she located her property. There was
no evidence to show that he had tax.

the bedding, saying that having been
used he would judge it to be worth

A VALUABLE COPPER MINE

From an article in the Mining AM
ercan. published last week. we learn
that our friends John r. Wood, dep
uty inspector of mines under Gov.
Buohtel, and A. w. Hille of Denver,
who has operated in mines in this
county for several years. together
with others, have one of the greatest
copper mines in Colorado, located on
the Moffat railroad near the Gore
range. Selected samples of the ore
assay as high as 300 copper while
lots of as high as thirty tons returns
fNm 3.S to SO copper. The COM
pany have built MILL and the ex-
traction of the ere is by the teaching
process and mechanical agitation dis
tribution that is said to be a success.
This process is said to make a $50
extinction of the copper content in
the ore. The figures show that in
the month of April 10000 pounds of
copper was saved testing 99.9 pure.
This amount of copper was saved by
the one tank, other units will short
ly be added. We congratulate Messrs.
Wood and Hille, as we'll as others

GUIDANCE FROM
ONE WHO KNOWS

To those who are madly clamoring
Tor the immediate dispatch of fleet
and army to the battlefields of
France is addressed the advice of
Lord Nor,hcliffe, PEI haps the great
est force for direct acticn in all Eng
land, to profit by the mistakes of the
Entente Allies. 1t is his recon-
mendaton that we send men there
quickly to learn the things that they
have learned thr oulh painful and
bloody sweat after two and three
quarters years. From their expert
enced directors can be secured the
last wcrd in the matter of enroll
ment, equipment, transportation, avi-
aticn, gunnery and, above all, sani-
tation. Far better, he says, is 1t to
spend a month CT more in investiga-
tion than to rush blindly into the
vastly ruinous blunders that are siret
by enthusiasm and inexperience.
The unpleasant recollec,ions of the
unprerared fashion into which the
armies of the Norh went to Bull
Rum, and those of the Spanish-Amer
ioan War to Cuta, should be a suf'
ficient answer to those who noisily
demand to know why our navies are
not already under way with divisions
commanded by political generals OF
pampered favorites of the War De,
partment. Better a ship lead Of Off
GERS from all branches of the service

operating civilians armed with pen
