OPERATORS EARN PROFITS.
Denver Mining Record)

Denver Mining Record)
| While the mine operator naturally
is best pleased when high prices, like
those now existing, prevail in the
metal market, at the same time his
lot generally can not be described as
"a bed of roses" He has his troubles
and they are manyl
His mining operations are Costing
him more than they ever did and only
the increased prices he receives for
his metal output enable him to mine
at healthy profit. Practically every
thing employed in mine and mill
equipment has gone up tremendously
In price. wages are much higher and
even taxes have been increased. Fuel
is costly and sometimes very difficult
to- obtain; and deliveries of needed
equipment are almost invariably de-
layed and uncertain. Not infreauent-
iy, the overworked smelters, glutted
with material place an embargo on
immediate ore shipments from the
mines. To still further add to the OBJ
orators troubles, in some regions the
roads become impossible at certain
seasons Of the year and create a ham
dicap that, while it lasts, is uncon-
querable.
SO 1t Is evident that while the oper-
ator is receiving a fancy price for his
output he has his own tribulations
and may be said to fully earn his in
creased profits. OF him 1t can be
fruthfully affirmed. THE laborer is
worthy Of his hire"

Of the American people toward Ger

statement of facts expressed in choice
English which justify the feeling of

TAKE TIME TO LIVE.
(Thomas Curtis Clark

Take time to live;
The world has much to give
OF faith and hope and love.
OF faith, that life is good,
That human brotherhood
Shall no illusion prove;
OF hope, that future years
Shall bring the best, In spite
OF those whose darkened sight
Would stir our doubts and fears
OF love, that makes a life,
With all it's grief song;
A friend, of conquered wrong;
A symphony, Of strife.
Take time to live,
Nor vain mammon give
Thy fruitful years.
Take time to live!
The world has much to give
OF sweet content; Of joy
At duty bravely done;
OF hope, that every sun
Shall bring more fair employ.
Take time to live,
For life has much to give,
Despite the cynics sneer
That alPs forever wrong.
There's much that calls for song!
To fate lend not thine ear.
Take time to live;
The world has much to give.
