Copper and Silver Mining

The red and white metals are to

The entire west is interested
in all that happens to these great

that the first sales of copper for

GypSieS Trim Bob Wood
Out OF a Ten-SpOt

A band of gypsies came thru
town the other day and stayed long
enough to tell few fortunes and
to trim Bob Wood out of per-
fectly good ten dollar bill. And
the joke of it all is that bob"
doesn't know yet how they got the
ten.
The gypsies had called at Bob's
coal and feed office and were tell
ing fortunes for those who hap
pened to be around the place
While talking with Bob he showf
ed them a nice little roll of bills.
When they left he discovered the
roll had decreased from SIS to $50,
but Just how the trick was work
ed Bob doesn't understand.
John Burke, the lineman for
the Colorado Power company,
volunteered to hunt up the gyp-
sizes and get the ten. He took Mar
shall Harvey's star and gun and
started pursuit on his motorcycle.
At the power plant several miles
below town he overlook the band
of gypsies and made them give VI
the money. When he returned the
ten to Mr.. Wood, Bob gave him
five spot for his trouble, and tool
a solemn oath that in the flu
ture no gypsy wouldgeta a chance
to touch his bank roll.

doubtedly, that man could have
afforded many silk shirts, If he
decided to buy them; but that is
not his idea of thrift.
The incident stuck in my mind,
and few days later when L was
taking in bargain where twc-hfty

[ asked the merchant whether he
sold many silk shirts. He said
that the line blooming" and in
reply to my questioning the facts
we're brought out that whereas
these shirts sold for from $5 to ST
apiece before the war, with not
many purchasers, that they seldom
sell for less than $40 nowadays;
and every Tom, Dick and Harry
buys them. why. people who
hardly had whole shirt to their

in here and buy several silk shirts

chant. He added: "a lot of them

some people are very cautiously
saving their money, still there are
mighty few that have not develop

and silk shirts simply serve as a
very usual method by which the
poor show how rich they feel
Once in a while, he confded, a
