enlarged to 200 tons capacity and
fiotation will be added II will
be used exclusively in treating the
ores from the numerous properties
the company is now operating in
Russell Gulch. The mill now has
a capacity of | 20 tons in "A hours.

mill in the county and with the
iniprssseEents contemplated viii
be one OF the best plants in the
state.
With the Becky Sharp. Old

yer Dollar the company will easy
lily have ore enough to keep the
mill going to its increased capac-
ity of 200 tons daily. The Becky
Sharp at present is producing a
car of ore a day and this is being
sent to Idaho Springs for concen-
tration. Next week they will
start shipping smelling ore and
expect to average close to car a
day in addition to the mill ore
As soon as waste in the Pewab-
ic shaft is cleaned out ore will be
produced from this mine. A good
body of ore was opened up by
Ress & Co. before the property
passed into the hands of the Full
ler- MaeCulloch company. Ress
q Co, shipped three cars from
this shoot that netted $500 to
the ton.
The Old Town shaft has been
retimbered and is in good shape
to depth of 500 feet. Lessees
will be put in the different levels
down to the 500 within the next
ten days. Ten or twelve applica
tons have already been made to
the company for leases as there is

Serious Injury From
Picking Dynamite Cap

Curiosity to see just how a dyna-
mite cap is made cost Rudolph
Olson, 9-year-old brother of Mrs.
Chris johnson. the loss of three
tngers from his left hand Thurs
day evening, and very painful in
iuries about the face and head.
The boy had found the cap in
the coal shed where it had been
placed for safe-keeping and pro-
ceeded to pick it to pieces with a
hair-pin. When the cap exploded
the hand was so badly mangled
that ampntation OF three fingers
was necessary. A deep cash was
cut in the forehead and the face
was badly marred.

Bank Loses Entire
Capital and Surplus

The report of State Bank Com
missioner McFerson shows that
the City Bank and Trust company
of Denver has loNt more than
$4,000 by the unfaithfulness Of
a bank officer to his trust This
loss entirely wipes out the banks
capital. surplus and undivided
profits. Some depositors are SELL
ing their claims at 10 cents on the
dollar. Previous to the disclosure
of the shortage the banks capital
was considered worth $3.50 per
share and the future of the institu-
ton looked exceedingly bright
This situtation shows ihat. after
N, the soundness of bank de-
pends almost altogether on the
honesty Of the banks officers.
When they have proven to be dis
honest nobody can tell how far
they have gone until everything
has been investigated. The peri
odical investigations which are
made can be evaded by the falsi-
fication Of records as was done in
this case.
1t is to be hoped the loss of the
depositors viii not be heavy. The
fact that the innocent stockholders
have lost their entire investment
is matter for regret The pun
ishment of the offenders will not
restore anything. Some men care
nothing about their regulations
and will even take the chance of
some punishment
Nothing can be more injurious
to community than to have dis
honest and INSCRIPTIONS men in
control of the banks-men who
are willing to take advantage of
the power given to them over the
money of their stockholders and
depositors.

Silver Jubilee Coming
10 Colorado Miners

A mysterious white metal
was discovered in the Clear Greek
district of this state in 1862. The
country was wild with gold excite
ment and little came of the discovery
until two years later when a scien-
tist announced that the white me-
tai which came with the gold was
silver.
In 1869 a great lode was opened
in the Caribou mine and from that
discovery there developed a rush
for the silver districts-Colorado
became a mecca for the second
pilgrimage of prospectors and In
vestors. Caribou became the
second city in size in Colorado,
and later Silverton. Leadville,
Aspen and other camps developed
and brought silver production up
to such a figure that until 1898
silver surpassed gold as Colorado
resource.
Now the tiftieth anniversary of
the establishment Of silver pro-
duction is being organized by the
Boulder County branch of the
American Mining Congress aud
the rehabilitation of silver upon
a money making basis will make
the celebration of national IN
terest. Clear Greek, Boulder
county, Gilpin county, Leadyille,
and other districts are coming
back" strong, numberless old and
abandoned mines are being reopen
cd, towns and cities begin to take

which for many years had no place
in the hearts OF the older miners.
is taking possession of the COM
munities where silver is the basic
industry. The announcement of
Senator Pittman, father of the
dollar silver bill, that the white
metal is good for twenty years of
prosperity at high price is ac
cepted as basis Of rebuilding ac-
tivity.

Sell 1t Thru An Ad

Nearly everyone has something
he dosent need that someone else
could use.
1t never occurs to lots of people
to sell such things, when they
might just as well turn them into
money
When you have thing to sell,
the first thing is to tell someone
about it.
The more people we tell about
a thing we have to sell, the big
ger our chance of selling it.

The disagreement between the
Hot Springs Hotel company and
the city over water rates is now in
a fair way to settlement. The
company proposes to install me-

to the number of guests who had
stopped at the hotel during the
