mines upon Republican Mountain,
above Silver Plume. Clear Creek
County, Colorado, since January, 1879,
having operated mines there from that
time to the present, living at the foot
OF 1t many years, as we'll as at George
town. l thus have a personal and in
timate knowledge of the output, as
we'll as the discovery of many of the
mines.
The ores which have been extracted
from this mountain have been of an
unusually high grade in silver. Many
tons exceeding one thousand ounces
silver per ton have passed through my
hands. 1t is true that rich ores have
also been taken from the adjacent
mountains. but there are none which
have a record of as high general
average from a like area
In addition to mining I did a great
deal OF assaying in the early seven
ties, as well as purchased ores for
shipment to Europe, therefore this
statement is made not from hearsay
but from practical experience.
In 1872 the cost of shipment of ores
to england, including the treatment
charge there, was about ninety dollars
per ton, so that ores of less silver con-
tent than one hundred ounces per ton,
could not be shipped; amalgamating
and chlorination mills at Georgetown
at that time treated some of the less
rich ores, but think it is safe to say
nothing less than fifty ounce ore was
saved, everything else being thrown
into the dumps.
make these statements with the
endeavor to state correctly as far as
human imperfections of memory about
observations and experience of be-
tween forty and fifty years ago permit,
and the natural proneness to exagger-
alton which time so frequently devel-
ops, in regard to happenings of the
past. and believe that what have said
Is fair and not overestimated.

With King David a new chapter
opens, for 1t was he who made the
final conquest of the fortress, joining
the lower city with the citadel of
Mount Zion. The first temple there
was built by Solomon. and the story
of its construction and the articles
used as outlined In the Scripture story
give some idea Of its magnificence.
After the revolt OF Jeroboanl the
city was successfully attacked by She

to be no doubt that the capture Of

there was ever an imposition on the
farmer it is right in this transaction
for no man can produce milk for any
such money. Lee has a creamery that
has passed through various stages of
profit and loss until it has become OF
little or no use to the local farmer,
and by fair rights has not the legal
right to exist, because the use of the
land was donated so long as the build

surprising to some Of our business men,
that, with the high prices now paid for
cheese the farmers interested in the
creamery do not combine, put prao.

faoture cheese. For some years to come
the price will be high, the stock will
keep, money can be raised on the pro-

those who are in real need of immediate
