If reports be true, the German al

waiting and will be able to continue
the war for the coming summer with
unabated fury.
At the same time, reports reach
this country in a roundabout way that
both England and Russia are prepar-

in the spring.

await actual developments before

EUROPEAN WAR IN PeKIMc

San Francisco.-The war In Europe
has been fought over on 4 reduced

Peking. according to G. A. Jauregui, a
young millionaire from the Argentine,
arriving here with his bride after q
wedding journey through the Orient.
The conflict was staged, said Jauregui,
who obtained his information from the
Spanish ambassador at Picking, when
the legation guards of the Austrian
and italian legations, marching
through the streets met.
The commands came to an abrupt
halt. and then, before their officers
could stop the men. bnttle occurred

LET US EXERCISE
SANE REASONING

Many Of our citizens wonder why
Gilpin county, the mother of the geld
production OF these granite hills for
the past half century, does not forge
more rapidly to the front when all
its producing metals are comma nGing
a higher price than ever before.
The reason is obvious in many
ways. First spirit of lethargy has
enveloped its people, and the pros
rectcr is no longer abroad to hunt
FOR the hidden treasures. And Sec
ondly the idle mines that have pro-
duced milliors Of dollars in geld are
filled with water awaiting CAPITAL to
unwater and place them again on a
productive basis. These mines are
owned by men who boast OF their
past production, and place their val
ues accordingly. But did 1t ever &C.
cur to them that mire is unlike
other industries, and the more that
is taken out. the less becomes it's
value? A factory may add modern
units and increase it's values. A farm
may use fertilizer and increase its
crops, and the he dsman can breed
UP his stock until it becomes valu-
able. but r,h ores once extracted
from a mine can never be replaced.
The day has passed when a mime
can be sold on it's past record, and
If the owners of this class of mines
ever expect to see them producers
again, let them unwater them and
develop new ground, that the invest
CIR may see reasonable prospect for
a return on his investment.
Legitimate mining is the most prof
table CT all investments. as the re-
turns are of a three-fold nature and
come frcm mother earth without plac
ing distress upon any cne, and shoult
rearorable prices he asked fer our
mines. CAPITAL would be keen to In

become the bee hive Of industry az
