146TH ARTILLERY
Is CRACK REGIMENT
CONTINUED from first page)

battle shows in the young soldiers
voice. 1--WE had expected to be sent
up to the line for long time, but we
were held up because we, didn't have
enough ammunition. We were using
the new French gun-ours was the
first regiment to get it. The guns
were made for us in France, but the
ammunition was ordered from the
United States. 1t didn't get there till
two months after we were drilled and
ready to go in.
1--WE were wild to go, all of us. When
the orders came we cheered. We were
part of the First army corps, under
a French general, but / understand
that Gen. Pershing has taken charge
of it now. We were sent in as a sup
port to the Marines. Say, the Ma
rines are the boys for fight!
Our trenches We're three miles
back of them. The new CUNT weighs
IA tons, can be shot with accuracy at
a 1O-mile target, and is mounted on
a 9O-horse-power trucks used to de-
stroy communication lines, blow. up
bridges and headquarters, cut off sup
ply bases and such work. It certainly
does the job. We blew up a good many
communication lines, but we didn't
have chance to go over the top. That
must be great, tho.
Eve did our share. AS the Marines
went ahead, out guns were ordered to
advance with them. The guns have
caterpillars that can be attached for
going over rough ground, but the
wheels are rubber. I had just fin
ished firing my gun % times-I got
bridge-when 1 was ordered to re-
port in Paris.
"A battle isn't much from the ar
tillery side. We could see the line of !
Marines and see some of the German
troops moving, but we couldn't see any
individual fights. Chateau Thierrv is
an old town, on the heights by the
river, and it is important because it
controls a number of communication
roads. The Americans will keen ON
advancing, that is sure; but it will be
slow. 1t isn't going to be the walk
over that it would be if the Germans
were reduced to starving bows for
heir fighters.
What's it like at the front? Well.
We have plenty to eat except when
we're on the move or in action. There
ire times when it's long way be-
'ween meals then. We have lots of

monkey, which is usually made into
'tew, bully beef and corned beef. We
lave all the potatoes we want and lots
Il carrots-they grow in France-and
'mons from Spain. They are our sta
lies. We don't get much sugar and
we're on war bread, tho one can buy
White bread. We do have some dried
ruits which can be made into pud-
ling, but we miss sweets, milk and
'astry. But there's plenty of food
nd it's good.
IF company goes into new
renches there aren't coolies or things
Ike that. They infest the trenches
where the Algerians have been and,
+ course, get into any trench that is
sed long time. =

just been completed by the State

ready for distribution. Free copies
are to be sent to public libraries.
county commissioners, educational
institutions, etc, but owing to the

ished at actual cost to any who
desire it, which is estimated at 4Oc
per copy. 1t contains more in

Subjects such as area, popula-
ton, county and town finances,
educational statistics, highways,
railroads, telephone and telegraph
mileage, bank statistics, per capita
figures and wide variety of other
information are treated by counties
in sixty-four statistical tabulations
covering PIP items of information.
Twenty-Five tables cover l36 lines
of information for each of the 63
counties of the state. The land
of the state has been classified
carefully by counties and consider
able space has been given to crop
production and to information
concerning homesteads, national
forests and similar subjects.
In addition, the book contains
separate county stories giving
authoritative information concern
ing each county. Another feature
is the location and altitude of
more than 800 mountain peaks and
many lakes and mountain passes,
together with table showing the
distances of cities and towns from
Denver.
1t is impossible to enumerate
in reasonable space the entire
contents of the book, but it has
been pronounced by the Governor
and other competent authorities to
be the most complete work of its
kind attempted by the state.

Geraldine Farrar in
Joan the Woman

To have been leading man for
Miss Geraldine Farrar, noted
American prima donna, during an
engagement of six months, yet
never to have appeared with her
on the stage is the remarkable ex-
perience of Wallace Reid, Lasky
film star.
When Miss Farrar decided a
year ago to perpetuate her art as
an actress by appearing before the
motion picture camera, she chose
as her first play a filmed version
of Carmen" Mr.. Reid, then one
of the young leading men at the
Lasky sudio, was selected for the
heroic role of Don Jose. Later
during the same summer he ap-
peared in principal support of
Miss Farrar in maria Rosa"
When the noted opera singer,
who has been acclaimed Americas
leading actress, went to California
last summer to make a picture
version of the story Of Joan of
Arc, it was at her own request that
Cecil B. DeMille, the produ Ger.
engaged Mr.. Reid again to enact
the role of the hero. The film,
entitled, "Joan the Woman" will
be presented at the Opera House
on Thursday, August l.

Mining Activities Of
Upper Clear Creek

One team is constantly engaged
in hauling ore from the Santiago
mine in East Argentine. Joe
Campbell and partners seem to
have the best lease on the mine,
with ore worth $l.30 per ton.
On account Of delay in receiv-
ing the machinery, work on the
Georgetown tunnel is somewhat
retarded. The main tunnel, being
driven by hand as yet, is nearing
the intersection of another we'll
known lode which may prove the
best yet encountered.
The Kitty Owsley mine in East
Argentine is showing much inn
provement as development pro-
crosses. As soon as there is a
let-up to the inflow of surface
water, the shaft will be drained
and sunk to a much greater depth.
There is exposed from two to three
feet of lead-zinc in the bottom of
the shaft that can be hand sorted
to make lead and zinc class that
will return 40 to so per cent of
the former and 50 per cent of the
latter.
All the preliminary work at the
Hall tunnel is now completed, and
attention is to be centered in the
development in some of the most
promising lodes intersected. Many
of them show good streaks of com.
mercial ore while others show
large bodies of mineralized quartz
that could no doubt be made to
pay handsomely with up-to-date
methods of treatment.
George w. Teagarden went to
Denver Sunday to consult with
his partners relative to the install
alton of machinery to furnish air
in the mine. Because of poor
ventilation. operations are at pre-
sent suspended as it is impossible
to york advantageously.
