that patriotism is to be found. There
Is test in peace, as we'll as III war,
which is a genuine test aud it very
often proves that the Boosting patriot

Deeds, not words, are the test. This
test is SO familiar that every man
knows it and realizes IT, 1t is taxes.
But unless Il man bears willingly, with
out shrinking, and especially without
lying, his Share OF the financial bur,

claim to be called 4 patriot no matter

missioned as Subscription agent for
the national loan" He began at once
an advertising campaign, placing be-
fore the people an opportunity to serve
their country. On the day after he had
opened his subscription Office in Phila-
delphia, Cooke reported to Chase that
there had been a continual stream of
subscribers, including clergymen, dray-
men, merchants, laborers, and many
boys and girls. ave gave the day al
most exclusively to small subscribers
and am glad to sa ythat they all went
away happy and delighted and we
bagged over $4,000 as the days work.
Cookies confidence in the people was
not misplaced. He disposed of more
stocks and bonds than all of the other
agents combined, and he was later
made sole subscription agent of the
government. Succeeding issues of
notes and bonds were placed in his
listing the support of the people he
was able to dispose of them.
Altho it may seem ungenerous to
find fault with men who were suddenly
called to shoulder such unprecedented
financial burdens, yet certain policies
adopted by congress to meet the emer-
gency are open to criticism. The taxes
first levied were too low; the large
emission of "greenbacks" deranged
banking and business operations, and
interfered with the sale of government
securities. The high rate of interest
paid on these securities aided in dis
posing of them, but it added to the
debt which eventually had to be paid
by the people.
Conditions at the opening of the
present war are very different from
those of 1861. Then the United States
was not in prosperous condition.
Business had been depressed by the
panic of 1857, and the national treas
ury was practically empty. Today all
classes of our people are enjoying un-
usual prosperity, and they can far
better afford to pay the price of lib
erty than at any other period of our
history. They should not assume that
the government" is some far off thing
with unlimited duty to protect their
rights, and with unlimited means to
perform this duty. The national treas

JAY COOKE AND CIVIL WAR LOANS
By PROFESSOR E. l. McCORMAC
Professor of American History University of California

In the generally weak administra-
ton of James Buchanan no part was
weaker than the department of finance.
He stated in his inaugural address that
the nation was embarrassed from too
large surplus in the treasury" but
the efficiency of Howell Cobb, his sec
retary of the treasury, speedily re-
moved the cause of his embarrassment.
When Cobb resigned near the close of
the administration his friend Tooms
remarked that che did not even leave
old Buchanan two quarters to put on
his eyes when he died"
When Lincoln became president
there was public debt of S74,9s5, 900,
and the available funds in the treas
ury amounted to only $1,716,000. I'm

ury is not like a town pump upon
which all may draw and to which none
need contribute. Our government is
the people; it is to uphold this idea
that we have entered the war. Our
congress has very sensibly voted to ex-
pend large sums at once so that the
war may be brought to a successful
and early termination. This is not
only a wise economy but will result in
saving many human lives. If the rate
of interest on our war bonds seems
low, it should be remembered that a

rate the liberty bonds" afford an op-

reasonable profit; moreover, in the

they are; what their financial standing

to mine pocket books, and not in a
hole in the ground, we tell the facts
about them and give publicity to their
scheme.
This boom has resulted i. making a
number of people well-to-do. The
cases of those who are able to pay up
old grocery bills and clothing bills are
multiplying daily. The number of
men who now carry a check book is
larger than ever before in the history
of this county. The number of cases
of those who are making nothing is
limited to that number who are looking
on rather than mining. But a small
per cent of miners are failing in the
quest for the black metal.

doned years ago, because of the de-
of silver, are now being

price of silver has risen from 46 cents
to rs cents an ounce, and still going
up, and this will create such an inter
est in silver mining that numerous
old mining dumps will be worked over
and milled, making work for hundreds
of men. The modern treatment of low
grade silver ores will also assist in
increasing the silver output.
1t is a startling fact that all this
wonderful activity in mining is at
Denver's very door. 1t is one hour
and twenty minutes from Denver to
Boulder on the Interurban electric and
one hour by steam train; also reached
in one hour and half over good auto
roads via Federal boulevard, over the
Lincoln Highway north to Broomfield
and Lafayette, and to the big arrow at
the ten-mile corner, thence west direct

companies, and thereby monopoly is
secured on the production.
The demand for labor to work in the
mines is fully supplied, as only skilled
metal miners understand the work
Leases are obtained by the miners for
a block of ground from fifty to five
hundred lineal feet on the vein, ac-
cording to the number of men who
expect to work the lease; it is usually
fifty feet to the man. Royalty is paid
by the miners ranging from 25 per
cent up, according to the value of the
ore in sight. Most of the mining is
being done by leasers, with good pro
fits to the lessees and mine owners.
The prevailing high prices, and the
numerous mining claims in the tung-
stem belt, have opened a large field for
the "wildcatter." Since many of the
miners need few hundred or a thou
sand dollars to develop their claims,
and promoters attempt to finance a
group of claims, these claims may be
in the tungsten belt or out of it, the
innocent public should not invest in
tungsten mining stock without inves-
tigating thru some of the reliable
sources of information. If the loca-
tion of the mining property is desig-
mated as being in Boulder county, the
individual should address the Boulder
Commercial Association, Frank E.
Eckel, secretary, or the Metal Mining
Association, James Cowie, secretary,
Boulder, Colorado. Should it be else
where in the state, write Mining In
spector Fred Carroll, State Capitol,
Denver, Colorado.
We do not know who is doing the
"wildcatting" until we are informed
by parties that have been approached.
If you want to know whether a COM
pany is a "wildcatter", or a "blue-
sky" fake, you must write US the par
ticulars-who the president is, where
