CORPORATIONS NOT
ALWAYS ScoUNDRELS

We often hear that corporations
have no souls, and that the God Of
wealth is their controlling spirit.
This applies to individual mani ind as
well as to corporations. A man who
has benevolent tendencies need not
necessarily lose. that principle Of hu.
manity simply because he is exalted
to the head Of corporation, as has
been shown at the last holiday sea-
son, when corporations like the Noun
tain States Telephone company dis
tributed large sum of money among
their many thousand employees as a
Christmas gift.
This line of philanthropy is becom-
Ing each year more pronounced
among corporations Of large and small
degree. II is becoming more apparent
each year that corporations. as well
as individuals appreciate faithfulness
and interest in employees, who are
faithful to their trust, as is evidenced
by many corporations that have
adopted the cooperative plan.
1t has often been said that in this
world of modern business that a
young man has not the same chance
to rise as in days of yore. This is
an erroneous conclusion and is not
borne out by actual fact. Many of
the heads of great corporations have
died in the past year and their places
filled by those who entered their en-
ploy as menial clerks, but by strict
attention to business have advanced
by regular gradation to the head Of
the enterprise. This is especially
true Of Charles Schwab and Presiden
Corey Of the Midvale steel works,
who each entered the employ of An
drew Carnagie in subordinate posi-.
tions. This is also true in the mat.
ter OF railroads, and many Of the
present railroad presidents and gen.
eral managers won their spurs by
studious attention to their employers
business.
The great arteries of business
throughout the world, are the COM
bination Of capital that makes the en-
terprise success, and as their lead
ing heads fall by the wayside by an
invisible hand, their places are fill
ed by those who have studiously ap-
piled themselves in obtaining a thor
ough knowledge of the business. And
so we say that the field is as wide
for the youth of the land to obtain
prominence as at any time in the
worlds history.

COPPER PRODUCTION EXCEEDS
HALF BILLION DOLLARS

The production of copper in the
United States in 1916 SURPASSED all
previous records, according to the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior. Preliminary
figures and estimates have been col
lected by B. S. Butler, who has re-
ceived reports from all plants known
to produce blister copper from do
mestic ores and refined copper. At
an average price of about 81 cents a
pound the output for 1916 has valu
Of $520,O00,00O, compared with $242,-
100000 for the output for 1915 and
with s1S9, 100000 in 1913.
The figures showing smelter pro-
duction from domestic ores represent
the actual production of most of the
companies for IL months and an es-
innate of the output for December.
The figures of a few companies for
November were not available, and
these companies furnished estimates
for the last two months of the year.
According to the statistics and es-
Inmates received, the output of blister
and Lake copper from domestic ores
was 1,92S,00O,00O pounds in 1916,
against 1,SSS, 100000 pounds in 1915,
and 1924 100000 pounds in 1913.
The output of refined copper (elec-
trolytic, Lake. casting and pig) from
primary sources. domestic and for
eign, for 1916, is estimated at 2,31l,-
600 900 pounds, compared with 1.634.-
600 900 pounds in 1915 and with 1,615,-
0O0,0 900 pounds in 1918.
The production of copper from the
mines Of the United States for 1916
was more than double that of 10
years ago and more than four times
that OF 20 years ago. The profit re-
sulting from the domestic production
was far greater in 1916 than in any
previous year. 1t is probably safe to
say that it exceeded $500, ,OOO,O ,OOO.

The Gilrin-Clear Creek section of
the state is right up in front with
the rest of the sections of the state
in the use Of electric power. Recently
the Oranoke property was completely
electrified. Their installation consists
of a 37-h p. hoist and 75-h. p. COM
pressor.
The Prize operated by Mr.. Will
marth, is also ready to connect up
for 37-h. p. hoist and 5Oh. p. COM
pressor all from the lines of the Col
orado Power company.
There are about six or seven other
valuable properties in this section
that are also intending to operate
with electricity in the very near fu.
ture according to Mr.. Siekmann and
that is one of the reasons why he is
absolutely certain that the Colorado
Power company-Siekmann Gilpin
county doughnut has no hole in it.
There are just two conclusions
which can be drawn from the data
given above, namely, that the state
of Colorado is experiencing an ex-
tremely healthy and rapid growth
along mining lines, and that custom
electric power is rapidly supplanting
all other forms heretofore used in
mining, milling and development op-
erations.
Now is the time for Colorado to
obtain possession of the legacy which
her mountains have so long held in
store for her.

OUTLOOK FOR
MINING IN COLORADO

The year 1917 begins with every in.
dication that it will be one of the
most prosperous years for metal min
Ing that Colorado has ever experience
ed in it's history, as the prices of
lead, zinc and copper now command
higher price than for many years
Of the past.
The year just closed has been one
of the most successful in the mining
line. in the history of the state, and
the totals for all kinds of metals
mined, exceed by many millions Of
dollars any yearly record in its rast
history. The total value for all kinds
of metals marketed in 1916 being
over s66,0OO,OOO. The advance in the
price of silver in the past six months
having largely increased the sum to-
tai In the silver producing counties.
Gilpin county's output held it's aver.
age, but did not advance in proper
ton to some of the other counties
for several reasons. First, the. mines
In the county carry but little lead
and zinc, secondly, that much of its
gold ores are transported through the
Argo tunnel into a neighboring coun-
ty, and thirdly, that the great silver
district about Hughesville, that pro-
duced abundantly in the days when
silver commanded a high price, was
not reopened. Attention is now be-
ing turned towards the resumption
of work in this district, and the COM
ing year will see Gilpins output
largely increased from the output of
silver and lead from this district.
The northern and western portion
Of the county has long been known
for its large veins of medium grade
ores, but on account of it's remote
ness from market has been neglect
ed for the more accessible and
PORTABLE fields about Central City
and Black Hawk, but the discover
of tungsten during the year in )
territory has given mining /. Ihis
section a new impetus, and the COM

TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERS

AS we now Stanu upon tne tHTesH-
hold of a new year, filled with the
prospect of renewed activity in all
lines Of business that is to bring
prosperity to many before its close,
and as these glittering generalities
picture a bright and healthy future,
let us also turn our thought to the
dim vista of the past and acquaint
ourselves with the history and trials
Of our few remaining pioneers, who
had the ambition and courage over
a half century ago to sever them
selves from their lap of luxury and
brave the hardships and dangers in
cident to a pioneer life.
The remaining pioneers in Central
City are but few of the many who
crossed 600 miles of trackless plain
and barren waste In 1860, to found a
new empire in this mountain fastness
where the lure for the yellow metal
prompted them to be twin dwellers
with the Red Man of forest and plain.
The grim reaper Of all that is earth
ly, has silently been at work and
garnered the most of the many thou
sands that clustered about these slop-
ing hillsides and sequestered wales
some 81 years ago.
OF the many that assisted in CIV
ing birth to this city, whose names
have been heralded to distant CONT
nents, and from whose mountain bow
els, millions OF dollars worth of gold
has been extracted but five have
been spared to our city to usher in
the year 1917, viz Jacob Tascher,
VIM. C. Stevens, Chase Withrow, H.
]. Hawley and John C. Mcshane.
These five remaining pioneers, now
in the autumn of life, whose once au-
burn locks have grown hoary by the
frosts of time, and whose steps have
perhaps been slowed by returning
years, are still endowed with mental
vigor, and fill an important niche in
the business life of our city. They
came from the region of the rising
sun to this natural valley of Nam
mon, while yet the dew of youth
moistened their brow, and the rose
tint of health and yigor mantled their
dimpled cheek, to assist with others
in carving out this far western en-
pire. and their names are enrolled
upon the scroll Of Colorado's history
that will endure as long as these
granite hills continue to pour for, h
their wealth of mineral treasures.
Among those surviving and living
outside the county we recall the
names of Joserh Thatcher and Major
Hal Sayre Of Denver. The former
was one of our pioneer bankers and
for many years president Of the Dem
yer National bank, while the latter
was major Of a Colorado regiment in
the early sixties that cleared the
plains from bands Of marauding and
warlike Indians, and made 1t possible
for immigrants to traverse the road
in safety.
Let us all bow our heads in rev.
erence, and bend the suppliant knee
to these surviving pioneers, who
made it possible for the present gen.
Grafton to gather wealth from the
fissures of these gigantic mountains
that stand as sentinels to guard the
waving fields of grain on the out
