According to 10 E. Sheridan, Grant

The new metal is bismuth.
The Mogollon Mines CO. is now

Oaks Co. made regular shipments
from the Maud S, Deep Down and Ep-

There has been quite a lot of pros

In the Georgetown district work has

At Idaho Springs the Argo Leasing

zinc ore recently opened up.
At Leadville, where labor continues
scarce, an important project for the
recovery of metal from old dumps has
been launched and is being worked
out at the old Harrison reduction
works.
In the opinion of mining men who
know Boulder county's resources
many silver properties that have not
been worked for years would pay well
at the present price of the white
metal.
In Gunnison county, on the Buffalo
group, which adjoins the Bowerman

particularly, the operations now under
way show a renewed interest.

SLANG TOO MUCH FOR SPIES
American Ambulance Driver Succeeds
In Passing Along Some lnforma-
ton to Friend.

At a gathering Of Princeton grad
yates and undergraduates in New
York one of the snappiest little sto-
ries Of the war was related by q
Princeton graduate just returned from
ambulance service in France. It had
to do with the difficulty in outwitting
German espionage In Belgium, and how
it was managed through the medium Of
unrecognized language.
Four months ago, the narrator said,
the system of espionage had been about
seven stratas deep. Spies watched the
Belgians, spies in the ranks watched
the German officers, spies watched the
spies who were watching anybody and
it became apparent that anyone who
might sneeze would be duly reported
in Berlin.
Just at this time one Princeton am
bulance driver heard from what
seemed to be q reliable source that a
German had attempted the life of Pres
ident Wilson in Washington. It was
but rumor, and he did not mention
it to anyone or have any desire to dis
cuss it until he happened to encounter
another Princeton man whom he had
long known. When they met the driv-
err who had heard the rumor looked
about and saw that ears aplenty were
set for their conversation. He talked
casually with his friend and wondered
as he talked what language he might
use to impart his information.
He knew little Of the Italian tongue
and thought of using that. But as he
glanced about him there seemed a face
for every language. To head his friend
off to a secluded place would excite
suspicion and so he finally decided to
tell him the news in American slang
He spoke as follows:
Don't let the glittering delicatessen
fall for this noise. I'm itching to ease
YOU some dope and don't care to be
beaned or tipped into the HOOsgOW for
chirping it. When it's across can the
return chatter and remain a dumb
Isaac. / have been hepped that up
stairs over Dixie a pretZel birdie has
tried to Czolgocz the former papa of
Old Nassau"
For a moment his friend looked at
him with knit brows and then, even as
the spies stood with ears out at acute
| angles, the listener answered:
"Pm right in your pocket, Steeve."

THE WONDERFUL BOOK.
1t Has the Power to Speak to People
of Every Race, Condition and
Every Age.

The Bible is the universal Book Of
the wide world. In hundreds of Ian
guages and dialects, heather countries
are today reading it's pages, and a
great army of missionaries is expound-
ing it's truths.
When Doctor Patton was printing his
first New Testament in the Aniwan
language, Chief Namakei, an old man,
eagerly watched the missionary, and
one day he said: "Does it speakY
eyes," said Patton. 'It can talk now
in your own language" sOh, let 1t
speak to me-let me hear it speak"
Patton then read a few lines, when the
old man cried: "It does speak! Oh,
give it to mel" Grasping the book, he
turned it round and round. Then,
pressing it to his heart, he shouted:
"Oh, make it speak to me again!" Is
not this the greatest work of the mis-
sionary, making the Bible speak to
men?
1t is said that more than five hun
dred thousand sermons are preached
every Sunday from texts taken from
the Holy Scriptures. Any but divine
book would have been worn out ages
ago, but the more the Bible is used,
the better it is liked. The cry every
where today is, "Come over and help
us!" All the gates are open to the
Christian soldier sent of God, carry
ing with him the World Of Power and
preaching Christ to every creature.-

TAKE TIME TO Mediate
Quiet Hours to Act as Spiritual Di-
rectory to Put One in Right
Direction.

Not long ago l had an experience
that set me to thinking about the
use of prayer and periods Of medita-
ton. I had an important conference
to attend and realized that my time
was limited in which to reach the
place of my engagement. found
I had somehow mistaken the ad-
dress, and knowing that I was get
ting late, I thought to save time by
inuuiring. Several persons whom I
met and asked were ignorant of the
building I wanted. Finally l became
fretted and ran into a grocery store
to inquire if they knew the name
of the person I was seeking. The
grocery clerk did not seem to know,
but he said, "Have you looked into
the directoryY He handed me the
book, and very soon 1 located my
party and went off wondering why
I had not thought to save my time by
consulting the directory before.
When one thinks about it, Jesus
seemed to use the quiet times of
PRAYER as a spiritual directory. He
realized evidently that, despite the
needs that pressed upon him from
the people whom he came to serve,
it saved time to send them away
occasionally and betake himself to
the still air of the mountain for
meditation and prayer. - Christian

''The man who takes the law into
