Nicholson Will Fight for
the Revival of Mining

Sam B. Nicholson of Leadville will do
all he can to encourage the mining in
dustry if nominated and elected to the
United States senate. He has made this
clear in letter he is sending to some
of his friends in the state.
In his letter Mr.. Nicholson declares
that prospecting has been discourag
ed and the development of properties
retarded because of lack of necessary
protection and encouragement from the
federal government, and says that if
elected United States senator he will
use his best efforts "to secure legisla
tion that will give encouragement and
protection to the mining of metals and
will insure proper observance of the
mining laws by representatives of the
federal government.
''Is it fair that the raw material
mines of this state should be kept in
idleness because in India and China
miners are willing to work for few
cents day?' Mr.. Nicholson asks, and
answers his question by declaring for
tariff sufficiently high to protect the
mining industry.
Mr. Nicholson concludes his letter
with declaration for the re-establish-
ment of federal experimental bureau
in Colorado ito make available the hun
dreds of millions in ores now lying on
the Dumps" and with a mention of the
fact that his years of experience in
mining qnalify him to judge of the
needs OF the industry

Gold Bonus Bill will
Be Passed, SaySLaWrie

In an address before meeting
of brokers' and mining men in
Colorado Springs recently, d. n.
! Lawrie, authority on monetary
conditions in America and author
of the McFadden bill, which pro-
vides for a SO excise bonus on
new gold, spoke as follows:
Legislation to protect the monetary
gold reserve of the United States from
industrial depletion will probably be en-
acted at the next session of congress.
The bill introduced in the house OF rep
resentatives by Representative Louis L.
McFadden of Pennsylvania, chairman OF
the banking and currsn ncy committee,
has been reported rpon favorably by
the federal legislative committee OF the
American Bankers association, and
many financiers regard the legislation
as necessary to correct situation which
is menacing to the financial security of
the nation. The McFadden bill creates
the machinery whereby the industrial
consumers of gold may pay more nearly
the cost of produc ion for their raw ma
terial and in no way affects the none
tary status of gold. The jewelers. and
other consumers of industrial gold are
now being subsidized by receiving their
raw material from the mint at the pre-
war price.
"a free gold market is maintained
under the provisions of this bill, for the
reason that the excise is collected upon
the manufactured article as sold and not
upon the bullion. The consumers of in
dustrial gold will continue to purchase
their raw material from the mine at the
free gold market price of $20.67 an
ounce.
''The bill does not change the number
of grains of gold in the dollar, and there
fore does not change the monetary unit.
Compared with 1914. the purchasing
modities in 1919 was AZ cents. The gold
producers ounce in 1914 had purchas-
ing power of $2O.67. whereas during
1919 the same ounce could purchase in
terms of all commodities only 1910
Gold producers are in the same position
as person who received the same in
come in 1919 as in 1914, and finds that
81, 900 income has shrunk in purchasing
power to 1910.
This is the chief reason why gold pro-
duction in the United States declined
from $IO1, 200, 900 in 1915 to $58, 500, 900
in 1919, and from present indications
probably will further decline to $4O,-
600, 600 this year-
Had the McFadden bill become a
law in 1919. it is estimated that revenue
in favor of the government would have
been collected this year, and since this
years gold production probably will not
be more than $40, 0OO, 900 and about
$50, 900, 900 will be consumed for indus
trial uses, balance of $25, 600, coo in
favor of the federal treasury would be
created Since the tax proposed by the
bill is imposed upon consumers of indus
trial gold, it does not fall upon the pub
lie, but largely upon consumers of jew
elry, luxury.
''If a healthier gold mining condition
prevails during the period of currency

Mayview Bank Robbed.

Thursday night the bank at
Mayview was broken into and
robbed of Liberty bonds, Securi-
ties, notes, jewelry and other
valuables from saf ety deposit
boxes. Entrance was gained thru
a rear door. A hole was cut
through the side OF the vault
with pick and sledge, which had
been taken from a section house.
The safety deposit BOXES were
found later about a mile and a
half from town, where they had
been rihed. Here also was found
the negotiable paper, deeds, reg
istered Liberty bonds, etc., that
could not be Of use to PARTIES
other than the rightful owners.
A peculiar feature of the pro-
ceedings was that the night tel
ephone operator saw "A large car
without lights circle about town
for a long time near the bank,
and during all that time she
heard an unusual pou1 ding, The
two out-of-the-ordin ary incl
dents didn't arouse her curiosity
sufficietly to give the alarm.
The safe where the cash was
kept was not disturbed.
