VACATION AS ALWAYS

The arrival OF vacation time this
year finds meagre and unthinking
minority advising the American peo-
pie to foregc their rest and renewal
that the nation may throw its whole
available strength into the War for
Liberty. This is poor advice. 1t is
not the advice of those who know
best how tremendous is the task the
country faces and how best it may te
prosecuted with victorious energy.
Our strength must be at par, or at
par plus. An unprecedented task
calls for workers refreshed and re-
built, for great physical vigor and
mental alerthess, for the combined
effort Of a strong, jealous and de-
termined people.
An exhausted or sluggish worker is
the most inefficient type of worker.
He owes 1t as much to his country
as to his employer and himself to re-
build his depleted strength and fresh
en- his interest in his labor. The be-
ginning OF summer finds workers ev-
erywhere at comparatively low eff
cheney, but the universal custom of
taking a short or prolonged rest when
the great outdoors offers it's myriad
attractions has served each year as
a tonic to restore efficiency in the
highest degree. Never in their his
tory have the American people put
greater energy into a years work
than since last vacation time. The
next year will demand even greater
effort. Never has there been greater
need of rebuilding. The great army
of workers, the army behind the fight
ing army. must be as fit and as fresh
as the soldier.
Let the people come again into
communion with Nature and Nature
will imbue them with new willing
ness to face increased responsibilities
and give them strength to achieve a
new record for work.
Vacation as always! The Govern
ment invites you to visit its great
Fairgrounds. Get into the mountains
and the woods. There health and in
spiration await you. Do not destroy
your capacity for work by doing moth
ing but work. To rest and rebuild
for the great work ahead Of us is
the policy of sanity.

AN OLD LANDMARK DOOM.
Ed FOR DESTRUCTION

Turner hail. one of the oldest land
marks of the city has been purchased
by Henry Peck and is now being
torn down.
Perhaps no other place in Central
City, enjoys such a wide history as
this ancient building that has with
stood the ravages CT time for more
than half century and could it's his
tory be written in full. would fill
many a volume.
The main building was erected in
1862 by Clark and Kimball for an ore
mill in the days when Central City's
streets resembled the tabled city of
heaven and were paved with pure
gold. These gentlemen operated it
as a mill and gave the miner his just
due, until 1867, when they sold 1t to
the Turnverein society, who added
a gymnasium hall SO by 100 feet for
their exercises as well as that of
public dancing, and 1t was here that
many tons OF weinerwurst and many
carloads of beer were consumed by
the husky Teutons, as they sat around
the festive board and followed Won
Moltke, in his march on Paris in
1871.
1t was also in this hall that the
elite of Central City met to tip the
light fantastic tee to the strains of
Wagner's march, as well as to listen
to fiery political oratory. But its
day of tame and glory has passed,
and Qike the Kaiser's kingdom) its
great attractions and fine proportions
are to be rent asunder by the dew
astating hand of mighty men.

WHAT is MANI

A man, weighing $50 pounds ap-
proximately, contains $500 cubic feet
OF gas, oxygen. hydrogen, and nitro
gen in his constitution, which at 80
cents per thousand cubic feet would
be worth $3.50 fer illuminating pur-
poses. He also contains all the neces-
sary fats to make 15-pound candle
and thus, with his $500 cubic feet of
gases, he possesses great Illuminating
possibilities. His system contains 22
enough to make 7S0 dozen or 1850
lead pencils. There are about so
grains of iron In his blood and the
rest Of the body would supply enough
to make one spike large enough to
hold his weight. A healthy man con-
tains "a ounces Of phosphorus. This
deadly poison would make 100000
matches or enough poison to kill 500
persons. This with 2 pounds of lime
makes the stiff bones and brains. No
difference how sour a man looks he
contains about 60 Jumps Of sugar Of
the ordinary cubical dimeuoions, and
to make the seasoning complete must
be added 20 spoon1ulls OF salt. If a
man were distilled into water he
would make about 3S quarts or more
than his entire weight. He also con-
tains a great deal of starch, chloride
of potash. magnesium, sulI hur, and
hydrothlcuic acid in his system.
Break the shells of 1000 eggs into
a huge pan or basin and you have the
contents to make a man fromh his toe
nails to the most delicate tissues of
his brain. And this is the scientific
answer to the question, what is
man?"-Mining American.

EUREKA VISITORS WELL
PLEASED WITH NINE

The fasteners who arrived in Gem
trail last Thursday for the purpose
of inspecting the Eureka mine and

they should be satisfied because they
saw the most precious Of all The met

from Eureka ore. run through the
company's mill and spoke for itself.
The old expression, money talks,
originated with gold.
There is nothing secret about the
Eureka operations under the new
management. Visitors and newspaper
men are given a free rein to go
through the mine and mill and see
for themselves. In fact the manage
ment has told the Observer man on
more than one occasion to write
about what he sees instead OF what
he hears from anyone connected with
the property.
The new machinery just installed
in the mill is being run steadily and
everything is giving satisfaction. The
equipment is right up to she minute
and is making a high saving. AS the
Gre bodies in the mine are opened up
the shifts in the mill will be increas-
ed and before summer IS past, three
shifts will be crushing ore and put
ting through at least 60 tons day.
Sinking in the shaft is being push
ed with all possible speed, three
shifts being employed in this work.
The shaft continues in ore as 1T goes
down, greatly reducing the cost OF
sinking. The 7OO-foot point has been
reached, the station cut and drifting
started east and west. Two strong
veins have come together in the shaft
and all openings at the 700 are In
ore. The shaft will be sunk 1000
feet and the mine opened up as the
lifts are completed.
