DR.. HERBERT LECTURES

The fourth entertainment of the
lyceum series, was a lecture given
at the opera house last Thursday
night by DR.. L. G. Herbert, of the
lyceum bureau. His lecture might
properly be termed, the edification of
man, as it carried the youthful stu
dents mind through all its intricate
stages, from his gridircn days, to
that of the bursting bud of mani ood
and the gathering Of golden har-
vest in the eventide Of life. :.
He traced man through all the la
byrinths Of life and drew a living pic
ture OF patfI0fYsm, VERSUS deceit, and
pronounced individually versus pal
try Jealousy. He likened the higher
religion as one Of high ideals and a
higher conception of man and the
handiwork Of nature, instead of that
usually found in subordinate congre-
cations. He drew a vivid picture of
a free and patriotic republic whose
governing powers are derived from
the governed, as compared to mon
arches whose imbecile rulers are
shedding the life blood of millions
Of their subjects on the bloody bat
tlefields of Europe. His lecture was
one long to be remembered by both
old and young.

INCREASE THE
GOVERNORS SALARY

Colorado has now become a great
state of 100000 people and still the
salary paid her governor is the same
as that given Governor Routt our
nrst governor upon our admittance
to the union in 1876. Utah, Nevada
and other western states, with a far
less population, pay their governors
from 1000 to 5000 per year while
Colorado, with her great resources
bringing in millions of dollars from
farms. mines, manufacturing and
stock raising ray the paltry sum Of
$4,000 per year
A governor, like president of the
nation, is obliged to give a certain
amount of state entertainment, and
as no provisions are made for this
expense, it must be deducted from
his salary. With this small salary,
1t cannot be expected that the state
can secure the services of its best
talent to fill this important office at
loss to themselves. Let the leeis-
lature pass bill increasing the gov.
ernor's salary to such an amount as
VIII enable him to live in a style
worthy of the state.
Gilpin observer., 1917-01-25

Seventeen conventions of various
organizations are being held in Den
yer this week, which has been the
means Of bringing large influx Of
people into the capital city. These
conventions in addition to the annual
stock show now in progress have
swamped the hotels and sleeping ac-
commodations are hard to procure.
The railroads of the state are respon-
sible for the Unprecedented rush to
Denver at this time. They are averse
to giving one trip rates for the round
trip any oftener than can be avoided
as they claim 1t interferes with their
regular traffic to give frequent cut
rates. Consequently all the state
conventions are being held in Den
yer during stock show week so that
the delegates may take advantage Of
the cheap transportation.

OIL FLoTATIoN NOT
EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL

J. M. McClaye, the flotation expert
VINO mas established an ore testing
laboratory in Denver, has issued
very instructive booklet on the flota-
ton of ores, which he is distribut-
ing among the mining fraternity. 1t
contains much useful information re-
garding this system of recovery of
the metallic contents. in ores that
for years have been lost to the rro-
ducer. The process is gradually re-
ceiVing the attention of the Gilrin
county miner, along with his brother
In other districts, and 1t is GER
tainty that within a short time flcta-
ton will be no uncommon addition
to many mills in this county
According to Mr.. McClave, prac,i-
cally all forms Of sulI hide ores are
famenable to treatment by oil flota-
tion, such as gold in pyrite and ohal-
copyrite, silver in pyrite and galena,
and tetrahedrite, lead in galena, zinc
In srhaleIite, copper in chalcopyrite
and chalcocite; also bismuth, anti
mony and molybdenum.
The cost of a complete oil flota-
tion plant of 100 tons capacity de-
pends on the character of the ore
Where the ore is not complex. the
cost of the flotation machine and mis-
cellaneous apparatus ranges from ST.
500 to $4,000. The cost of oil is
from cents to 10 cents per ton,
acid cents to 10 cents per ton and
the operation and maintenance 10
cents to % cents per ton.
Gilpin observer., 1917-01-25

Mining engineers, representing
Omaha and New York capitalists,
who are securing the GilIin and Clear
Creek district for silver and copper
propositions, contend that not in the
past Is years have eastern capitalists
turned their attention to the possibil-
tiles in mining that they are show
ing at the present time and further
add that if the right proposition is
offered there is no trouble in raising
money, but that all mines would have
to stand thorough test. There was
a time when mine could be sold
upon its past production record, but
not so new days. Investors now
want to be able to have an examina-
ton of property to determine If
the chances are encouraging to open
up ore bodies with development. The
thousands Of dollars that mine may
have produced years ago is gene and
the only proposition that interests
capital is what the mine is capable
of producing In the future.

o ye Of little faith
Who missed the big debate.
Next time we have one here
Please don't forget the date.
We of the high school were very
much disappointed at the small crow
that were present at the debate last
Friday evening. Each one who miss
ed The contest certainly missed fine
opportunity of hearing one of the
best performances the high school
students has offered this year.
Three of the Wheatridge high
school boys debated against Clarence
Auger, Margaret Grutzmacher and
Ruth Tomlinson. The first speaker
for Wheatridge, spoke rapidly but
made good impression on the audi
ence. and when Margaret began on
the negative, with her clear, drama
tic voice each in the audience who
were for Central had a hopeful smile
on their face. The second speaker
for Wheatridge gave strong argu-
ment for his side. But when Clar-
ence began in selfcomposed way,
stronger argument for the negative
smiles again were seen on the faces
of the audience. The third speaker
for Wheatridge was also self-compos-
ed and put his own colleagues in the
shade. Ruth then gave substitute
for shipping subsidies which made
the opponents sit up and take notice.
Both sides put up strong argument.
During the rehuttal high tension was
evident in the audiences. Each de-
batter being confident Of victory, and
each doing their best to refute the
points of the other side.
Mr. Coffman kept the house in sus-
pension while he opened the decisions
of the judges. And when he read
three votes for the negative, the
whole house was in an uproar.
Then came the time for hand
shakes on all sides, words of con-
graduation and words of praise for
school. What's the matter with G.
c. U. H. S.? They're all right.
The basket ball teams had no prac-
tice last week on account of exam
inations. But now they are all over
and beth teams are down to hard
practice. We hoTe to have a num-
Der of fine games yet this season.
We hope the public will patronize
them when the time comes.
The brilliant Seniors again have
meddled and fourd out a secret of
Mr.. Jessup. But the Seniors will be
mum-just like Mason's won't repeat.
Here's warning to Seniors that
need only little hint: Keep out Of
the side office during the second
period in the afternoon"
The majority of Seniors are taking
two periods of typewriting instead of
music this semester.

PROFITABLE SALOON
FOR MARRIED MAN

For the married man who cannot
get along without drink, the followir g
is suggested 9s means Of freedom
from bondage to saloons. Start sa-
loon in your own home. Be the only
customer-you1l have no license to
pay. Go to your wife and give her
two dollars to buy a gallcn of whis-
key, and remember there are sixty
nine drinks in gallon. Buy your
drinks from no one but your wife.
and by the time that the first gallon
is gone, she will have eight dollars to
put into the hank and two dollars to
start business again. Should you live
ten years and continue to buy booze
from her, and then die with snakes
in your boots. she will have enough
money to bury you decently. educate
your children, buy a house and lot,
and marry a decent man; and quit
thinking about you entirely.-Ex.
