JUST WHAT BILLION MEANS
Probably Few People Have Right Con-
ception of What an Enormous
Amount It Represents.

We hear of billions these days, but
II is probable that very few persons
have any notion of what an enormous
amount of money a billion represents.
We do know, however, how rapidly
an expert counter of coins manipulates
them You can scarcely follow the
motion of his fingers as he shifts the
coins from one pile to another and
counts them. The experts in the
treasury department will count 1000
silver dollars an hour and keep this
up all day long. but that is their
limit
Working eight hours a day, then, an
expert counter of coin will count 3d.
600 silver dollars in day. but how
long will 1t take him at that rate to
count million dollars? Thirty one
days.
But that is only the beginning of
the measurements of great figures,
for II the same man were to continue
to count silver dollars at the same
rate of speed for ten years he would
find that he had counted only 100.-
100000 of them, and that to count
1,000,0000O0 of them would require
102 years of steady work at the rate
of eight hours day during every
working day Of every one Of the 102
years.

called the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief,
which takes the place of the Red

These refugees are wearing the
remaining rags of the scant cloth

they were driven from their homes
four years ago, and many, stripped
stark naked by Turks and Kurds,
are clad only in gunny sacks or
old pieces of tent cloth or bits OF
cast off army clothing picked up
in the desert.
RELIEF SHIP TO SAIL NOVEMBER 10TH
The American Committee has
made arrangements for a boat to
sail from New York City on the
18th Of November carrying tons of
clothing, which will be collected
by the committees in every COM
munity throughout the United
States.
Instructions have been sent out
from State Headquarters asking
each local committee 20 collect
new or worn clothing. Special re-
quest is made for children's and
women's clothing of every kind
The Committee has more than
100000 orphan children to clothe
and care for. Only fairly good
clothing is to be sent as the cost
of carriage will be too great for
badly worn clothing.

The damage suit against Charles
L. Lamb in which Charles Sauer
sought to collect $50, 900 damages
for injuries sustained last March,
when an alteration occurred be-
tween the two lumber dealers, was
on trial this week before jury in
the district court at Georgetown,
and resulted in a verdict in favor
of the defendant-Mr. Lamb.
The case was hotly contested
and both sides introduced strong
evidence, but the jury considered
that Mr.. Sauer was really the
agressor in the trouble and that
Mr.. Lamb acted in self defense.

Important Committee

A new committee of ten super
intendents, principals and teachers
has been appointed by the Colo
RADIO Educational association to
study the question of teachers
salaries in this state. Superin-
tendent Charles E. Greene is chair
man Of this committee.
The fact that the state is short
some 500 teachers this year has
caused con siderable alarm in edu-
cational circles.
This committee will gather in
formation as to the salaries that
are now being paid, and the living
conditions that prevail in all school
districts in Colorado. These data
will be used in campaign to be
carried on all over the state for
the purpose of raising salaries
where the need is greatest.

perty priced at $4,000.
The present success comes after
three years of work overcoming
all sorts of difficulties.
Since encountering the rich
streak of ore, the owners have been
besieged with offers tolease or sell.
Mr.. Jeffrey finds it a strange fact
that where it is difficult to obtain
a few men to mine, there are num-
bers who are willing to lease, though
they would find that considerable
capital is necessary to produce
livable working conditions in the
mines.
Because the owners have no
accommodation at the mine suita-
BILE for winter quarters, operations
will cease after October 10 for
this year.
As carly as the weather VIII
permit in the spring, men will be
put to work building roads, bins,
etc, and in taking out the ore.
Mr.. Jeffrey says that only he
and Mr.. Decker are interested in
the mine, and they do not care to
either lease or sell. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jeffrey will leave next week for
California, and Mr.. and Mrs. Dec
ker leave Saturday for New York,
They expect to return in the spring
and push the work as fast as pos
sible.

RICH SILVER-LEAD STRIKE

SiFTiNGS ESTABLlShE 1900

The richest strike in the dis
trict for many a day has been found
in the Mt. Kelso mine on Kelso
mountain above Silver Plume, and
the aggregate value of ore to be
taken out may run into the mil
lions.
After three years of develop
ment work by the present owners,
B. j. Jeffrey of California and II.
E. Decker of New York, the
strike was made Sunday and con-
sists of 2I2 feet of stoping ground
ON galena eighteen inches thick
in the upper level and some four
and-a-half feet thick in rich ore on
the lower level, and seemingly in
exhaustable.
The ore assays 76 per cent lead,
30 ounces silver and one-fourth
ounce gold, and will run from $50
to 500 per ton. This value is ex-
pected to increase as development
progresses. This is the highest
percentage of lead ever found in
the district, the highest known
anywhere being sc percent.
Mr.. jeffrey was sent here from
California three years ago by one
of the heaviest stockholders in the
Kelso mine to investigate. When
