Price Of n Tree.

tree which he ordered cut down, not
knowing that it was city property. Ex-
pert testimony determined the cost of
replacing the tree.
When a tree is felled and cut up
into logs its comm~cial value is leas-
lily calculated, but the worth of
standing tree-especially one within
the city limits-is hardly to be deter
mined, except for the very practical
purpose Of penalizing its destroyer.

SEEK MORE FISH TO CAN
Increasing Demand for Product Has
Led t6 Inquiries ~ to Where Il
CaneBo Had.

There Is a perpetual and increas-
ing demand for canned fish of all
sorts. The utilization Of the dogfish,
or grayflsh, as 1t Is more politely
called, has added to the opportuni-
ties of the eastern Gamers. but those
on the Pacific coast are looking to the
westward for a still further,eupply.
The yellow and blue fln tuna (known
as the horse mackerel when they ap-
pear In eastern waters), the dolphin
and bonita are plentiful In Hawaiian
waters, and Pacific coast Gamers are
making inquiries as to the possibility
Of securing q catch large enough to
warrant the establishment Of can
neries on the islands.
The commercial fisheries Of Hawaii
are almost exclusively In the hands
Of the japanese. A few years ago
they formed small companies to oper-
ate hand-propelled sampans. These
brought the fish to the Hawaiian mar
kets. where the catch was sold at auc-
ton. The gasoline boats have taken
the place Of those propelled by oars
or sails and these have a steaming
radius Of thousand miles. They are
equipped with ice chambers, SO that
the fish may be kept from four to six
days.
Large corporations have been
formed. One company controls $50
Japanese boats and another 40. The
tuna at present prices, retailing at 10
to ~ cents a pound, Is too costly to
permit Of canning with profit. The
bonita sells at 8 cents or less and
might be used to advantage, as 1t il
very plentiful.
There is also a little sardine fish
that Is taken in great numbers. The
establishment Of United States gar
risons at or near Honolulu has
greatly increased the demand for
fish. but no survey has yet been made
which determines whether canneries
can be made commercially profitable.

RESTORE THE PRosPEcroR

We have new reached a period in
our history when all metals are stead
lily advancing in price. and the eye OF
carital is fixed upon metal mining
and metal production. The wants for
many Of the metals now exceed the
output from mineral territory already
discovered. and new fields must be
found to supply the demand.
The prospector, whose ability to
search for and discover the mineral
veins that built up this western coun-
try, is no longer abroad in our moun-
tain fastness searching for new fields.
This lax condition is due In q great
measure to our heretofore govern
ment at Washington that established
the forest reserve. and placed an au.
tocrat, like Clifford Pinchot in author
ity, who ruled with such an iron
hand that the discovery Of new min
eral territory has long since been
aba ndcned.
Prior to the withdrawal of mineral
lands under forest reserve rulings,
large and renumerative mining camps
were established almost yearly, that
added millions OF dollars to the
wealth of the nation. In our own
state CT Colorado, the ever faithful
prospector discovered and brought to
worlds fame, such noted mineral
camps as Georgetown, Leadville, AS
pen. Creede and Cripple Creek, that
gave Colorado a financial standing
among the states Of the uniCn, but
since the establishment of forest re-
serves, no new camps have been dis
covered and the prospeotor is now a
thing Of the past.
Our cherished county of Gilpin.
that has already added over $780,
900 900 to the state and nations
wealth, has not been the one-fourth
prospected. The western and north
em portion Of the county is nearly
all unprospected and undeveloped,
and is known to contain large veins
! Of gold, silver, lead and tungsten.
| That pertion lying in the Apex and
Pine Creek district was explored par
! TALLY last summer and developed tung
stem in commercial quantities. as
we'll as gold and lead. Recently, at
the head Of Freeman gulo h, has been
opened one Of the greatest lead veins
ever found in the county, the sink.
ing of the shaft alore. paying all the
expense Of the mine.
This Is only one Of the many un-
develored mines in that portion Of
the county, that IL developed would
prove equally as good. The coming
summer will also see great activity
in the GilIin, Rollinsville and Perigo
districts, and every encouragement
should be given the prosrector to op-
crate in this unpr spected field and
make the discovery of heretofore hid
den veins that will astonish the coun-
ty and state in their production.
Never before has the history Of
mining teen SO auspit ious to the in
vestor, and these who invest, and
place competent mining men to guar
their investments, will be amply re-
warded.
