In the Special Edition Of the

gambling place Of the Jacobsen s

This was in error. The place is
located over 15S Main street.
1853 Main street is the European
Hotel and it is operated in
manner which has never caused
the police to suspect any wrong
doing. The News says: beg
pardon to the proprietor Of the

made on account of the wrong
number being reported on the

how much money the bandits got out

When Spiders Molt.

When a spider is preparing toy molt
it stops eating for several days and
fastens itself by short line of web
to one of the main lines of its snare
which holds it firmly while 1t proceeds
to undress. The skin cracks all around
the thOrax, and is held only by the
front edge. Next the abdomen is un-
covered. Now comes the struggle to
free the legs. 1t works and kicks Wig
orously, and seems to have very hard
work. But continued perseverance Of
about Is minutes brings 1t out of the
old dress 1t seems almost llfeless, and
iSlimp and helpless for several min
utes, but gradually it comes back to
life and looks brighter and prettier
than before. To young people this is
an operation Of extreme interest. A

SUGAR GROWN UNDER PAPER
waiisn Islands Said to Have Prov
ed Highly Successful.

A new and very odd method of grow
ing sugar cane is proving highly sue
cessful in the Hawaiian islands. When
the cane is beginning to sprout. yard
wide strips Of heavy kind Of paper
are laid lengthwise over the rows Of
little plants and held in place with
cane-field trash. The paper is strong
enough to keep down and smother the
starting weeds, but not to kill the
stout and hardy young cane. In five
or six weeks the weed seeds beneath
the paper have all terminated and
shoots have either forced their way
through or erected themselves suffi-
ciently to make little tent-like eleva-
tiOns. Laborers then pass along the
rows and with long knives make Sits in
the sheets, permitting the shoots to
come through.pThe liberated shoots at
first are bla6ched white, but quickly
turn green and lusty. Wedding there
after is almost wholly needless. be-
cause there are very few weeds. There
is an increase of ten tons (about % per
cent? in the yield Of cane per acre, the
Baltimore Sun says. Half the labor is
saved and the production of actual su-
gar per acre is augmented by more
than ton. The paper USED is made
OUT Of "bagasse." which is the residue
Of the cane after the sugary sap has
been squeezed out Of 1t.

NlBR COLORADO EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
VALUE OF GOLD AMI, SILVER
PRODUCED IN THE v. s

The February issue of the Oil Digest
duction of the past year:
Preliminary estimates of the gold and
silver production of the United States
during the year 1918 as recently Issued
by the Bureau of the Mint and U. S.
Geological Survey throw somewhat
interesting light on conditions during
the past year and the present situation.
There are seven states each having the
distinction of producing upwards of &c.,
900. 900 in the precious metals during
the year. The gold production of the
United States was sss, s,4sS.5OO. silver
s67.S ,2O6, total $137,373,7O6.
1t is interesting to note first of all,
that although an ounce of gold is worth
twenty times much as an ounce of
silver, the total value of all the gold
produced in the United States last year
was only about million and half dol
lars greater than the total value of all
the silver produced. The tremendous
gold production of two states alone,
namely California and Colorado. was the
only reason the gold value did not fall
millions of dollars short of the silver
value. All other states combined show
ed silver production of value OF
about $40, 900 in excess of their
combined gold production value.
..l- H. nvxtr oil
the states of the Union in precious
metals production only by reason of the
fact that her silver production of close
to $7.OOo.00O more than offsets Califor-
MAS lead in gold.
In five out of the seven greatest pro-
ducing states of the precious metals, the
silver output far surpasses in value the
gold production.
Take Colorado, the greatest of them
all in total production of the precious
metals and by eliminating one district,
namely Cripple Creek, the value of the
states silver production would exceed
the value OF its gold production. But
for practically 20 years, that is to say
since 1898, silver mining has been al
most dead in Colorado by reason of the
low price which prevailed for the metal
up to the latter part of 1918. We VEN
ture the prediction that with the pres
ent price of silver maintained or eX-
ceeded for the next few years, as it is
likely to be, Colorado, famed for silver
production before 1t ever really became
big producer of gold, will see the
value of its silver output surpass tina,
of Its gold
But there is one thing more in con-
nection with the government statistics
of precious metals output in 1918. The
output of gold in the United States was
the smallest in twenty years, and In
spite of a renewed activity the latter
part of the year, the output of silver
was the smallest since 1918. 1t has
been many years since any notable new
gold district has been discovered. 1t is
evident, 1t has been proved by events
that silver must supplement gold for
coinage purposes. and that silver min
ing must be and will be stimulated foi
mt least several years to come.
