Trees Girdled by Mice can be Saw
ed.-F. L. Washburn, entomologlst
with the Minnesota college OF agrl-
culture finds that many app:e trees
have been girdled by field mice. The
greatest damage has been done in
orchards where the grass has been
allowed to grow two or three years.
Trees 10 inches in diameter have
been girdled and in some cases en-
tire orchards have suffered. Mr..
Washburn says that girdled trees, if
not too large, can often oe saved by
bridge grating The ends Of several
apple scions should be inserted in the
bark both above and below the IN

Consider Placing City
Ticket in the Field

A number of the citizens of the
City of Central met at the district
court room Wednesday evening
to consider what, if anything,
should be done concerning the city
election. Various matters were
discussed. AS political party
nominations can only be made
under the primary law and as the
time had expired for holding a
primary election, it was the opin-
ion of those present that the only
legal way to have ticket placed
on the ballot was by petition or
certificate of nomination by the
people; and in order to proceed
by this method it would be neces-
sary to find candidates who would
accept if they were so nominated.
Several of those present claim
ed that conditions existed in our
fumes (the sewage system) which
were unsanitary and were men,
ace to public health and con-
slant eye-sore. Some advocated
that our sidewalks were in bad
condition in some localities and
should receive more attention.
1t was the unanimous convic-
tion of the meeting that an effort
should be made to place nom
political ticket in the field, pledg-
ed to reform along these lines and
steps were taken to initiate such
ticket. 1t is quite probable that
petition will be circulated
among the people for their sigma
lures, and should they respond in
sufficient numbers to make the
nomination of the ticket legal it
will be filed with the proper offic-
/ ial so that the names Of the candi-
dates may be placed on the ballot.
1t was further decided that if the
people were not interested in suf-
ficient numbers to make a legal
nomination, that no attempt would
be made to make party or other
illegal nomination.

Nevadaville Fire

The VIM. Britt house on Letcher
street in Nevadaville, was destroy
ed by fire at two o'clock this
(Thursday) morning. 1t was dis
covered by the Dickerson family,
but with heavy wind blowing
nothing could be done to save the
structure after the alarm was
given. The wind was blowing
from the west and this prevented
the fire from spreading to the ad-
joining house owned by Mrs.
Mamie Trezise. 1t is not known
what caused the blaze. Mrs. Joe
Malenk was in the place during
the afternoon cleaning up, and the
fire may have been caused by
burning rubbish in the stove.

After Guy Hill Road Again

A petition has been circulated
in Jefferson and Gilpin counties,
appealing to the Highway commits
sion to take some definite action
this year to have the Guy Hill
road rebuilt. There is a fraction
over eleven miles of this road
from the Gilpin county line to the
foot of Golden Gate canon that is
in bad condition all the way and
parts Of it are actually unsafe for
travel. This is the only route the
ranchers of the western end of
Jefferson county have of reaching
the valley and is the shortest road
the citizens of Gilpin county have
to Denver by from IL to 40 miles,
if the trip is made thru Idaho
Springs or Boulder. Repeated eff
, forts have been made by the resi-
dents of both Gilpin and Jefferson
,, counties to have either the Jeffer-
son county commissioners dc
something or the Highway COM
mission, but so far have not been
successful.
1t is now claimed that the High
way commission will advance rs
per cent of the money but that the
commissioners of Jefferson coun-
ty will not agree to take care of
the remaining 25 per cent. The
Forestry service is favorable to
/, the construction of this piece of
road, but is not able to do any
thing. The business men of Gold
en- should exert their influence
with both their county commits
sioners and the Highway commits
sion as the construction of good
road would increase their patron
age from the ranchers and would
be the means of increasing the
auto travel thru Golden.

Start Work on the Gold Rock

w. E. McCampbell and associ-
ates, of Colorado Springs, old
time mining men of Cripple Creek,
have commenced work on the Gold
Rock mine at Russell Gulch. The
work that is being done now is
for the purpose of making an in
spection of the mine, and should
they think favorably of the prop
osition after an examination, they
intend to do a good deal of devel-
opment work on this property.
The Gold Rock number OF
years ago, was one of the leading
producers of the county and pro-
duced a great deal of smelling
ore that ran from eighty dollars
up to three hundred dollars per
ton besides large quantities OF
mill dirt, and without doubt with
proper development will again re
sumo it's place as great pro
ducer.

AN OUNCE OF GOLD
Purchasing Power Has Declined
from $20.67 to 50 and De-
creased Production Results.

The actual purchasing power
of an ounce of gold has declined
from $2067 to SO, while the steady
decline in gold production in this
country has reached point that
is causing CONSERVATION in finan-
cial and commercial circles, says
the Salt Lake Mining Review.
There can be no fuctuation in
the market price of gold, the unit
value of which has been establish
ed by law, while the increased
cost of labor, and every element
entering into its production makes
gold mining almost prohibitive,
the result being that the insistent
demand greatly exceeds the sup
ply, while no encouragement is
offered for aggressive work in
gold production.
The very fact that the value of
an ounce of gold has been estab-
lished and fixed by law is draw
back and handicap to the gold pro-
ducer. With the advance in pro-
ductive costs the value of silver
also advanced proportionately
and the silver miner has every
cause to feel grateful because of
condition beneficial to him but
which, on the other hand, is crush
ing the very life out of the gold
producer.
What can be done to alleviate
the situation is problem with
mining operators and financeers.
The country must have gold to
sustain it's credit, to provide a cir
culating medium for rapidly ex-
panding business; and yet, with
a wealth of the yellow metal in the
mines of this country, not an
ounce can be produced without a
distinct loss to the gold producer.
Seventy years ago the world
produced but $3O,O0O,000 in gold
per year. In 1915 the output was
$469, 100000, while the estimated
production for 1920 is but $4O,-
100000. The decline in produc-
tion is significant, and the prob
lem of devising some plan or
method by which the output may
be materially increased deserves
the most serious consideration at
the hands of our lawmakers, even
if it should be necessary to demon
etize gold or remonetize silver,
the restoration of the latter to its
rightful place by the side of gold
resulting, in the minds. of many,
in the restoration of an equality
of values that will stop the down.
ward course of gold, and the sky
ward fight of the white metal.
Uneasiness in the minds of
many regarding the future of gold
should not disturb the public to
any great extent, as some plan will
doubtless be devised to relieve
the tense situation, for the coun-
try must and will have gold.

Case Dismissed

A preliminary hearing was held
before Justice James r. Rule on
Wednesday afternoon, in the dis
trict court room, in the case of the
State VS.. Neal Burroughs, of
Black Hawk. The charge was as
sault with a deadly weapon with
intent to kill John Heppberger.
The evidence showed that there
had been trouble between the
parties previously that finally
ended in fight and that during
the fight revolver was fired. The
only eye witnesses to the fight
were Burroughs and Heppberger
and each claimed that the other
began the fight. After hearing
the evidence the court decided
that there was no probability that
a conviction could be secured in
the district court and that it
would be useless to put the county
to the expense of trial. He there
fore ordered the case dismissed.
Attorney Conant, of Denver,
represented the district attorneys
office and Attorneys James M. Sc

RED CROSS NOTES

The Executive committee of the
Gilpin County Chapter of the Red
Cross met last Thursday evening.
Our many members will be in
terested in knowing what was
done by the Chapter during the
influenza epidemic. We furnished
three nurses, who visited seven
teen families and cared for thirty
five patients, at an expense to the
Chapter of $240.14, as follows:
Surgical supplies --------- 3.75
Board, room and laundry for
nurses ---------------- oS.oo
Pay of nurses, 36 days, and
railroad fare ---------1Sl.39 80
Livery hire for nurse ------ 1900
The Chapter takes this oppor-
tunity to thank the Elks' lodge for
their generous donation of Fifty
dollars towards helping defray
these expenses. We also wish to
thank DR.. and Mrs. Towers for
their many kindnesses extended
to the nurses while here.
Some of the families who re-
ceived aid from the nurses sup
plied have asked that they be per-
ffiitted to pay at least a part OF
the expense. Such payment will
be accepted by the Chapter as il
is necessary to keep on hand a
fund for future emergencies OF
this character.
