DEATH OF JOSEPH srANpLEY

In San Diego, California, Sunday,
January IA, 1917, of paralysis, JOSEPH
Standley, aged IS years.
Mr.. Standley was born and grew
to manhood in Illinois, where he was
married and came to Gilpin county
in 1868, then the gold camp of the
world. Soon after arriving he formed
partnership with VIM. ]. Stalker,
and together they prospected the
Quartz hill district, then the scene Of
great activity. In the spring of 1864,
they uncovered the California vein,
whose shaft has been sunk to dis
tance Of $3.50 feet, and whose bottom
is still in rich ore. Mr.. Standley and
Mr.. Stalker worked the mine that
year, the mine producing a dividend
of $175,O00. With a portion of his
share he bought his partner out and
was sole owner until 1869, when he
sold 1t to an English company for
nearly half million dollars.
In 1870 Mr.. Standley formed q part.
nership with Joserh Thatcher (for
many years president OF the Denver
National bank) in the banking busi-
ness under the name of Thatcher and
Standley. succeeding Warren Hussey
& Co. This partnership continued for
three years, when they resolved 1t
into the First National bank of Cen
trail City, with Mr.. Thatcher as pres
ident and Mr.. Standley as vice-presi-
dent. This bank is still Central City's
main bank, with the two above gen.
tlemen remaining as stockholders up
to the time of the latter's death. In
/ 1884 Messrs. Thatcher and Standley,
in connection with other financiers,
established the Denver National bank.
He also purchased a large ranch
north Of the town of Arvada and for
several years was rancher, after
wards removing to Denver where he
made a permanent residence.
About two years ago he experienc-
ed a shock of paralysis, from which
he never fully recovered, and left
for southern California to recuperate,
and where the second shock proved
fatal. Mr.. Standley never had any
children, and leaves behind only a
widow to mourn his loss and heir his
fortune.
The remains will be shipped from
San Diego, Saturday, and buried in
one of the Denver cemeteries, under
the auspices of the Masonic lodge.

GOLDEN SHELTER SOLD

The old Golden smelter, erected by
DR.. F. R. Carpenter sixteen years ago
was sold last week by the owners,
Barnett & Barclay, of New York, to
the Grimes Brothers Metal Co., of
Denver, who will start this month
to dismantle the plant and sell the
equipment and junk. The Golden
smelter was last operated six or
eight years ago by the North Ameri-
can Smelter and Mines company. 1t
was Independent of the A. S. & r.
people, but the company was not
strong enough to compete with the
trust against the temporary reduction
charges and other concessions grant
ed by the smelter monopoly, which
received the miners ore but to the
sorrow of the miner after the inde-
pendent concern was forced out of
business. 1t was reported recently
that John T. Milliken, who at one
time owned and operated the Golden
Cycle mine, was to take the plant
over and smelt ores. 1t would seem
from the sale of the smelter to the
Grimes Brothers that his plans of OBJ
tanning possession of the Golden
plant failed, which is keenly regret
ted. There is no question but that
had the Golden smelter remained, leg
islation now pending to curb the
trust, would have made the operation
Of this independent plant possible at
some time in the future.

OREDGE MAY SAVE

A monster gold dredge will soon

well as the Valdor, in Trinity county

Ashburton Dredging company, on the

too numerous to mention. Buckley
Wells, the well known Colorado min.
Ing man, is the Colorado representa-.
tive Of the company. Mr.. Wright
has been in charge Of a number of
properties fostered by this concern.
A number of test shafts are being
sunk at various points along the
creek, and IL sufficient gold values
are found and a large enough yard
age can be obtained, the dredge is
assured. Mr.. Wright hopes to get
five or six million yards, and this
alone would be sufficient to keep a
dredge in operation for five or six
years. If the prospects are satisfac.
tory, it is planned to work over all
the ground between the Avenue
bridge and the mouth of the canon,
as well as the big bench west Of the
Mines testing plant.
A dredge such as the company
installing will cost in
the neighborhood of $150,0O0, and
would carry a payroll of several
thousand dollars per month, and
would in addition require a large am
cunt of supplies each month.
Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Myers are

THE RISE IN SILVER

The steady advance in the price of
silver, while not attracting so much
attention as have the sensational ris-
es in the based metals, is a matter
of utmost importance to the financial
world and particularly to the men
of the west where SO many great
silver-producing mines are located.
Stocks representing these mines have
not experienced a strong enough
movement during the rise in the price
of the metal, probably because that
rise has been SO gradual, but when
the public is fully cognizant of what
will be necessary in the readjust-
ment Of the monetary situation all
over the world later on, or in other
words, when the war is at an end,
we believe in common with market
students that there will re a boom
In silver stocks entirely separate
from that which has affected secur-
tiles in any other distinctive class.
The longer the war goes on the
greater is the possibility of the re-
monetization of silver. There has al
ready been large absorption of sill
yer for coinage purposes due to the
withdrawal Of gold from circulation
by the Allies, and financiers seem
agreed that there is strong prob
ability of 1t becoming a question with
all the powers embroiled abroad of
repudiating their international obliga-
tions II the great nations of the world
do not remonetize silver or accept It
on fixed basis at much higher
value than the present price of the
metal. There is no discounting the
Importance of the position Of silver
in the world of finance today, and
with its strength assured 1t will
again be most important factor in
the prosperity of the entire country
and particularly the western states.
Surely the outlook for metal mining
for 1917 is most propitious.--Good.

HEATING TELLS ABOUT
THE BIG "LEAk"

Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-The
House of Representatives has decid-
ed to thoroughly sift all the rumors
growing cut of the alleged leak"
which enabled certain Wall Street
brokers to clean up several millions
by obtaining advance information con-
|, cerning President Wilson's peace
note. Everything considered, it is
probably a wise decision.
There was leak" That means
that some Wall Street spectators
had pretty definite ideas regarding
the contents of the presidents note
before that document was given to
the public. They gambled on this
Tip" and when the stock market
went to pieces they made lot of
money.
Up to this minute no one has come
forward with any evidence showing
that any public official had anything
to do with the leak" or profited by
it. Tom Lawson. the spectacular
Boston stock gambler, has INDUCED
in much talk, but the impression left
on most of those who heard him tes-
tify was that Lawson was a notoriety
seeker who could not be believed.
An impartial consideration of all
! the facts, leads inc, itably to the con-
clusion that the presidents peace
note was handled in such a way that
a leak" could not have been avoid
/ ed.
president, it was translated into the
diplomatic code by at least two en-
ployees of the State Department, 1t
was "set up" by printers in the gov
eminent printing office, ard finally
Secretary Of State Lansing told a
score of newspapermen, in the pres
ence of at least four outsiders, that
the president had sent a note to the
powers which would make big
story" OF course, the secretary said
the note had no bearing on the sub
ject Of peace in Europe, but l cannot
believe that this "fib" deceived all
the veteran correspondents of the ma
tion's great dailies.
Clean up Wall Street.
Under the circumstances, only the
interpositicn of divine providence
would have prevented a leak"
To my mind, the duty Of congress
lies in the direction of preventing fu-
ture leaks and clearing up the
gambling halls Of Wall Street. The
latter is the big thing.
The New York stock exchange as
at present conducted is worse than
Monte Carlo. The boss gamblers
who insist on being called bankers
and masters of finance-play with
marked cards and rob their victims
with as little compunction as "Soapy
Smith" manifested in the old days
when he operated on the streets OF
Creede. They should be put out OF
business and the exchange compelled
to confine itself to legitimate trans
actions.

-------------------sss-- ss-----------'-- - STORY OF A JOKE
10 Youngstown Telegram.

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 Last weeks Spice of Life" department of the Literary Digest contained a joke about an aviator who was taking his wife up with him in his machine The wife looked over the edge of the aero plane and said:
 Wait a minute; we'll have to go down again; I dropped one of the pearl but tons off my coat
 Looking over the edge also the aviator replied:
 Keep your seat my dear. That isn't a pearl button: it's Lake Erie
 The story has a familiar ring. hasn't 1t?
 The Literary Digest copied 1t from Puck, giving due credit. which is more than many publications have done in the past
 Years ago the joke was published in London Tid-Bits, and went the rounds credited to that more or less humorous weekly.
 Then it began to crop up every once in while in the most unexpected places.
 The Paris edition of the New York Her ald used it once, and the comic sections of many magazines and papers have found 1t prime favorite.
 The aviator joke is growing old quite gracefully, which is source of some qualification to the Jibes and labs edi- tor.
 Telegram readers will recognize 1t is an old friend, because it was born in this department something like six years ago
