FINAL LYcEUM NUMBER

Francis ]. Gable, poetic lecturer.
appeared at the opera house last
night as the final number of the ly-
ceum course He proved entertain
ing through the recital of original
poetry Of lofty sentiment, although
as a humorist 1t must be said that
he was not up to expectations, his
puns and yarns being somewhat OBJ
solete. His limitations OF the bark
ers and criers at a circus gave evil
dence Of cleverness and was the
best OF his effort. The lecture was
OF different character to that Civ
en- by DR.. Herbert and was Tar from
being as good. In his Introductory
remarks, Prof Jessup said the lyce-
um course had been a financial sue
cess and that there was a surplus in
the treasury. He thanked those who
contributed in any way to the sue
cess OF the course.

"ExcEss PROFITS" TAX
(By Congressman Keating)

l think Lloyd-George, the great
premier CT England, discovered the
excess profits" tax, and it has been
adopted by various European coun.
tries. 1t provides that corporations
and co-partnerships which earn more
than a certain percentage of their
capital shall give Fart Of the ex-
cess to the government. In Europe
the tax has been applied in drastic
fashion but our new revenue bill
presents it in milder form.
American corporations and CO. -rart.
nershirs will first of all be allowed
to earn $4,000 year above all ex-
penses-salaries, taxes, interest, ETC.,
and eight per cent On their total
capital, surplus and undivided profits.
Then they will be compelled to give
Uncle Sam eight per cent or one.
twelfth Of the profits in excess Of
the eight per cent and $4,000 exemp-
tion.
Here's an example: A hank IN
Fowler has 100000 capital, and sur.
plus and undivided profits amounting
to $4,000. Under the new law, this
concern would be permitted to earn
$4,000 before it would pay a penny
Of the excess profits" tax. This
would be seventeen per cent on the
banks original capital or more than
13 per cent on capital, surplus and
undivided
II your savings were earning from
I1S to II per cent wouldn't you be
willing to pay a small tax on what
you made above those figures?
The new tax will not apply to in
diNiduals or co-partnerships engaged
in agriculture. They will be reached
by the income tax.
The concerns prinoiI ally affected
are the big corporations which have
been wallowing in war profits" In
some instances they have made more
than 100 per cent ON the capital in
vested and they should be compelled
to disgorge.
1t is estimated that the new tax
win produce about 1920 900, 900 a
year This means that the "excess
, profits" Of corporations and co-part.
nershiIs in this country could reach
the sfupendcus total OF three billions
of dcllaTs each year. BY the way,
that is net worth pondering.

EGYPTIAN MINE

c. L. Gage, manager of the Egypt
ian mine on Quartz hill. is now bus
lily engaged in installing a plant of
the mine for the exploration OF new
ground. The cid shaft house will be
repaired sufficiently to protect the
machinery, while the new and larger
shaft house is being built This mine

CARR NINE

In mineral producing country,
when an ore shoot has been exhaust
ed as far as prospected. the remark
Is often passed that the mine has
played out. But recent Developments
in many Of the mines of Gilpin coun-
that have been worked fer over half
a century, leads us to believe that
they will not be exhausted as long
as the conception of man can devise
means to fathom their utmost depth,
as Is evidenced by the Gunnell, the
Pczo. Burroughs and Lake that are
now far below the Newhouse tunnel
level, and are producing large guam
titles of ore.
The Colorado Carr nine at the
summit of Bobtail hill is another that
has produced largely in former days,
but when the ore in sight was work
ed out this one was also abandoned
as played out mine. About two
years ago Arthur Most placed an elec.
trdc hoist over the collar Of the shaft
and began the development of virgin
territory. His work has been confin-
ed mostly to the 900 and 1OOO-foot
levels, and how we'll he has been re-
warded the following recent smelter
returns, now before us will show. Th
first class shipments have not as yet
been made, and the following are

Seven thousand pounds of second

$50 ozs. silver and 1.70%s dry copper

The streak Of ore on the 1O0O-foot
level varies from one to two feet in
width and has been driven on contin-
nous ore for a distance OF 80 feet
with ore still in the breast of drift
Stopping is now going on this entire
distance and the ore bodies holding

water is now being taken out OF the
shaft to bottom. and the 1,100 will
undoubtedly be as good, as the ore
beneath the track on the 10OO-foot
level is nearly two feet wide.

THE COLORADO POWER CO.
GOES "PARTNERS" WITH
THE MINE OPERATORS

People, nowadays have gotten
over the habit Of trying to do every
thing fer them selves and are grad
ually coming around to the point of
realizing that a community Of inter
ests is much more beneficial than the
old method Of everyone pulling for
himself.
When everybody pulls together,
they get RESULTS and that is what
counts with all of US. Allowing every
man to catch at his own little straw
went save one OF us from drowning
but II We all get together and form
raft of our various efforts the re.
suit will be a structure that can bear
the burden Of our accomplish hme ent $
very easily.
Many of the large corporations have
realized the value of community ef-
fort and have extended their cooper
alton in every case to help advance
the welfare Of their patrons.
One Of these is the Colorado Pow
er comrany who recently assumed
control of the United Hydro company
in the Gilrin-Clear' Creek section.
This ccmrany has inaugurated a
new contract as CT January 1st, 1917
which cannCt but help to give the
mining industry Of this section q big
boost this coming season. This con-
tract virtually makes a partner" out
of all the mining companies that use
the company's service.
The company does this in three
ways. according to E. l.. Siekmann,
who is in charge of the electrifica-
tion of the mines in the Gilpin Clear
Creek district.
First: The company supplies all
transformers necessary fer the cleo
trifio atiCn at the nominal sum of $25
to $50, depending on the amount of
power needed. Under the old ar
rangement the mining company had
to buy these transformers at a cost
of from $4,000 up. This expense un.
der the new6ontract is all done away
with.
Second: The Power company has
arranged to grant some very easy
terms to the mines that wish to in.
stall equipme ent but who are not IN
position to make large cash outlay
to purchase the necessary apparatus
at the start of their operations. These
terms allow the user to pay for his
compressor or hoist within a period
OF one year. from time Of purchase.
Third: The comrany has granted
an unusually low rate to the mines
who use their equir ment en- a high
lead factor basis each month.
Bearing the many advantages OF
this new contract in mind II is quite
easy to see that the commendable &C
ticn OF the Power company is going
to give a decided impetus to the
mines in this vioirity, because Of the
decreased cost Of acquiring electric
service, the help in the matter of
purchasing apparatus and the favor
able rates granted to mines who hav
long hour usage each month.
Verify, the outlook for increased
activity andr low mining power rates
is better in Gilpin county today than
1t has been Tor many years.
