Silver Should Be Remonetized

IT Uncle Sam wants to keep sill
yer prices down on a parity with
gold, he had better proceed at
once to remonetize the white met
al on q basis of sixteen to one.
This plan seems to be the only
way to keep silver from going on
upwards to at least $1.50 per
ounce. If the United States re-
monetizes silver, other nations
will follow. Uncle Sam had more
than $750,000,000 worth of silver
in this country in 1914. Since
that time shipments to foreign
countries have aproximated $780,
100000, leaving only about $780,
100000 worth of silver in the I'm
tied States at this time. Of the
S45O,000,000 loss, the United
States government lost about
$500, 100000 of it's silver reserve.
Most of this was shipped to India,
China and the Orient. The far
eastern demand usually amounts
to about 120,000,000 ounces of sill
yer a year.
Congress must do something to
stabilize silver. If it continues to
soar in price, and there is every
indication that it will continue on
its way upward, there is nc ques-
tion but that much of our silver
will disappear from circulation.
Another thing Uncle Sam can do
to increase the very necessary out
put of the white metal is to take
the excess profits tax off of silver
mining and in this way encourage
mining operations. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that silver has gone
from so cents an ounce in 1914
to $l.29 an ounce in 1919, there
are a good many silver mines that
are only taking out enough profit,
after paying high war revenue
taxes, increased cost of supplies
and other added costs, to pay
small return above expenses.
Members of congress from the
West can greatly help the mining
industry and general prosperity
of the Rocky Mountain country
as whole, if they will advocate
the reconciliation of silver on
basis of sixteen to one and the
removal of the profit tax on silver
mining.-Mining Record.

Investigates New Mill

A. H. Becker, of Omaha, rep
resenting prospective investors in
the proposed mill of the Gilpin
Milling & Reduction company, to
be built. at Black Hawk, was in
the city last week, interviewing
the mine operators and citizens as
to the desirability of the PROPOSE
tion as an investment. Mr.. Beck
er was assured by everyone that
if the mill is the success that the
promoters of the proposition
claim it to be, an unlimited guam
tity of ore is available. He found
the people very enthusiastic over
the new mill as they can see in it
the rejuvenation of the county.
Being unable to find a market for
ores in less than carload lots is
the reason small mining has ceas-
ed in the county, and with the OPP
portunity to sell a ton or more of
ore, which the new company will
buy outright, leasing will be
stimulated and the ore production
of the county increased to where
it was few years ago.

Picture Ore in Silver King Mine

The Silver King mine in Hugh
esville, operated by T. G. Binney,
under the management of Charles
Davies, has a good streak of high
grade silver ore running as high
as $500 ozs. to the ton. They are
sinking the shaft and on the hang
ing wall is a 15-inch streak that
assayed $50 ozs. the full width of
the vein. The shaft is only 60
feet deep, having just been start
eded two months ago. A SO h. p.
boiler and an air compressor is
now being installed. The boiler
displaces a smaller one. A good
hoist with capacity for handling
ore from a depth of 400 feet is on
the property. The mine is one of
the most promising prospects in
the Hughesville section, which is
noted for it's high-grade silver
values.

Pine Marten Leases
Gilpin County Mines

The Denver Mining Record says
the Pine Marten Mining & Mill
ing company, with offices in the
Foster building, Denver, has TAX
en- lease on the Illinois and Rod
ernck Dhu group of mining claims
near Central City, and is planning
to- start operations in the near fu-
ture. These claims produced a
great deal of ore when they were
operated a number of years ago.
Arrangements have been made
with the Gilpin Milling & Reduc-
tion company, who will use the
process of the American Continu-
Gus Retort company for the hand
ling of their ore, and being locat-
ed within mile of the mines.
this property it is believed will be
big producer for the lessees
since the price of silver has reach
ed high mark.

No Assessment Work
Required for 1919

Congressman Guy U. Hardy
writes the Observer as follows in
reference to the non-requirement
of assessment work on mining
claims for 1919:
Some time ago the Congress
rassed joint resolution prov;d-
ing that the law requiring 500
worth of work annually to be per-
formed on mining claims be sus-
pended for the year 1919 but that
the suspension should not apply
to more than five claims in the
name of any one person or conf
pany. This limitation brought
about many complications, and
since then the Congress has pass
ed another joint resolution, which
the president has now signed, pro-
viding for this suspension of the
law regarding assessment work
without any limit as to the num-
ber of claims. This suspension of
course applies only to the year
1919 and it is expressly provided
That every claimant of any such
mining claim in order to obtain
the benefits of this resolution
shall file or cause to be filed in
the office where the location GER
tificate is recorded on or before
December 81, 1919, a notice of his
desire to hold said mining claim
under this resolution
81 am advised by the Bureau of
Mines that it is held this applies
to oil shale claims as we'll as other
claims"

Escapes from Wyoming Pen

William L. Carlisle, we'll known
in Central, having lived here sew
eral months in the early part of
1916 when he worked at the
Hampton and Pittsburg Extension
mines, escaped from the peniten-
tiary at Rawlings, Wyo., last Sat-
urday night. After leaving here
Carlisle found more lucrative
vocation in train robbing. He held
up single handed three Union Pa
cific trains before he was finally
caught and sent to the pcniten-
tiary for life. His sentence was
afterwards committed to twenty
five years. While here he went by
the name of Walter L. Cottrcll.
Posses have been formed and
the territory for miles in the Raw
Inns section secured for the fugi-
tive but no trace of him has been
had. Tuesday evening Union
Pacific passenger train was held
up by lone bandit near Medicine
Bow and it is presumed that Car
Isle is the man, altho it hardly
seems likely that a man escaping
from a penitentiary and being
hunted by posses would dare at
tempt to hold up a train in the
very country where he was being
pursued.
Carlisle made his escape from
the Rawlins penitentiary in a
large box containing shirts that
were delivered to the depot for
shipment. After the box was de-
livered and the convict was sure
that everyone had left the depot
he sawed an opening in the box
with fine saw he had smuggled
out of the pen and made his get
away. Late reports have it that
he may be in Denver as a high
powered car was waiting near
Medicine Bow after the train
robbery and was seen speeding
toward Denver. If he is so close
to Central, Carlisle may take a
run up here and renew old ac-
quaintances.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The city council of the City of
Central met in regular monthly
session on Thursday evening No
vember 18th, Mayor Wilkinson,
presiding; aldermen present were
Seymour, Rule, Willis, Atkinson
and McCallister.
The minutes of last month S
meeting were read and approved; /;
the clerks report of water collec-
tions for'October, with ledger bal
ances as of October 31st, having
been examined by the finance
committee, were read and submit
ted, and were on motion approved
and ordered filed by the council.
"A communication from j. Vim
cent Shaw, claiming to own placer
lands at or near Jim Peak, timber
covered, which he offered to the
city before selling the timber
thereon, was referred to the clerk
loI answer.
The city attorney reported that
the Supplemental filing required
by law of the last legislature to
be made in the State Engineers
office, covering the water rights
and claims of the city, was pre-
pared and ready for filing, which
filing was directed to be done.
Water Commissioner Gray re-
ported the water supply as ample,
and the. system in good working
order. He further reported the
work he had done and was doing
on the city streets, all of which
was commended and approved by
the council.
The shoveling of snow from the
sidewalks on the main thorough
fares and streets, the keeping of
the same clear for travel, was
deemed the duty of the property
owner, to whom a word of sugges-
tion would be sufficient, and more
persuasive than a direct order
from the council. Some animals
were stated to be wandering about
during stormy periods. This neg
lect of them is positively cruelty
to animals, and the owners should
take them up and care for them,
otherwise the council will take
measures to compel them to do so.
City and water bills amounting
to S502.90 were allowed and order
ed paid by warrant; the bond in
terest due December 1st next, was
also ordered paid when due.
There being no further business
the council on motion adjourned.

Eureka Has Better Ore
Than Reported Last Week

The big shoot of ore opened up
in the 700-foot west level of the
Eureka mine, reported in the OBJ
server last week, ran higher than
expected. A control from car
load shipments received from the
smelter yesterday showed the ore
to contain 6.2S ozs. gold, 33 ozs.
silver and &c per cent lead, max
ing it worth about $4,000 to the
ton. The streak in the breast of
the drift, which has been opened
up $50 feet in length shows as
good values as the ore now being
taken out of the fifty foot stope.
The ground above the 700 on the
west side has not been worked
and shoot of this extent must
contain a mint of money.

Commissioner to
Enforce Prohibition

Special machinery for the en-
forcement of war time and con-
stitutional prohibition was set up
by the bureau of internal revenue
November II under the direction
of John Kramer, of Mansfield, o.,
whose appointment as national
prohibition commissioner has
been announced by Internal Rev.
,enuc Commissioner Roper.
Besides supervising agents in
each of the nine districts into
which the country has been div
.ided, and a prohibition director
in each state, Mr.. Kramer will
have mobile force which will
move about the country as necess-
ity commands.
State and municipal officials
will be expected to enforce the
prohibition laws but where they
fail to exercise due diligence fed
eral agents will act. Officials said
that should local officers fail to
cooperate in breaking up the il
licit sale of liquor, the govern
ment would not proceed against
them, but rather let the local ell
'ectorate take care of tie situa-
tion.

Of death. He had been in poor
health since leaving here several
years ago. He was 50 years of

1864 and engaged in mining. He
owned half interest in the Nat
ioral mine and few other claims.
A wife and six children survive
him. No arrangements have been

Becky Sharp Keeps Up
Wonderful Production Record

Since opening up the ore body
in the Becky Sharp five months
ago, Hughes and Threewit, less
ees, have taken out a net produc-
tion of $63,S0O. Last month they
shipped 774,7sO pounds, or 387
tons, which averaged $4,000 to the
ton. This month, up to today,
they have shipped ID cars, aver
aging 25 tons to the car. The vein
is from eight to ten feet wide and
this big tonnage is being broken
by force of ten men, including
those on top. There is no indica-
tion of the ore body playing out
as the shoot is strong in the bot
tom of the lower level and by
sinking the shaft, the present
production could be doubled. 1t
is wonderful mine and the fact
that this ore had been left in the
property for years shows that
with a little development many
more idle mines could be made
great dividend payers.

City Folks Prefer Beef;
Country Eats Most Pork

More pork and poultry are con-
sumed per capita in the country
than in urban communities, while
denizens of the cities eat more
beef, veal and mutton than dwell
ers in the rural districts, accord
ing to report made by the De-
partment of Agriculture. This is
announced as the first adequate
information ever obtained on this
subject.
The total consumption of meat
per capita is 9 per cent greater in
the country than in the city, and
the excess is observable in vary
ing degrees in the various conven-
tional geographic divisions. Con-
sumption of beef alone is nearly
two-thirds greater in the cities
than in the country. In respect to
veal and mutton also the consump-
tion per capita is greater among
the urban population than in the
rural communities. The use of
veal is 119 per cent, and that of
mutton 43 per cent, greater in the
cities than in the country.
What the country loses in COM
parison with the city in consump-
tion per capita of beef, veal and
mutton is more than compensated
by ITS use of pork and poultry. The
country consumes more pork
and poultry per capita than the
other meats by $50 per cent.
Consumption of beef, veal and
poultry is higher in the North
than in the South, but the South
ern section shows larger use of
pork. The West exceeds the other
sections in consumption of beef
and mutton, and is only slightly
below the leading section-the
North Atlantic territory-in con-
sumption of veal, but eats less
poultry than any of the other dis
tricts.
