There will likely be big
change in precinct lines before

Encouragement it is proposed
to put both Silver Plume pre-
cincts into one; give George
town two instead of three. the
consolidation of Lawson and

Freeland and Alice with pre-
cinct eleven and a part of the
twelfth makes one, and part
of twelve and all of thirteen

the proposal to consolidate IA

The plan if carried out will
reduce the number of voting

THE FUTURE FOR
mining BRIGHT
Greater Prosperity at Hand in
the Mining Districts; Loyal
Operators Soon to Reap Rich
Harvest; Supplies Cost Drop.

Denver, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD-
There is brilliant future ahead
for hundreds of mining districts
throughout the Rocky mountain
country that are only marking time
at present. Every drop n the
price of mining supplies and cost of
labor adds to the earnings of pro-
ducing mines and makes possible
t h e opening of old producers
forced to close down because in
creased costs made earnings pos
sible, says the Mining Record of
this city.
Throughout the west there are
loyal mining men who have passed
up opportunities in other lines of
endeavor in order to protect their
stockholders and have their prop
critics in shape to take advantage of
the great period of mining pros
perity that is SO rapidly approach
ing. The nation as whole
can be no more prosperous
than its mines. There has been
slackening of production in the
factories, but the demand for
American manufactured products
is woril- wide and the mines will
be called upon to provide their
portion pf raw products. Copper,
lead, zinc, tungsten, manganese
and lnonybenum have thousand
uses in the worlds manufacturing
plants, while increased demands
for gold and silver are making the
supply of these metals look ipsig-
niicant.
Praise is due the mine operator
who has stuck with his mine during
the depressed period in the indus
try. He might have done like
hundreds of others who quit the
aiming districts for the more
attractive rewards of the oil fields.
Now, with greater prosperity at
hand in the mining districts, the
mine operator who stuck to his
property is in line to reap his
reward

''The Right TO Love-
at Opera House

Mae Murray, the pretty film
actress who has scored recently in
son With the Dance" and the
"The Right to Love-" made an
unexpected debut into motion pic
lures. She was formerly stage
dancer and was featured in the
Ziegfeld Follies of 1915. Her act
opened with the showing Of few
feet of film, in which Miss Murray
was depicted rnnning down the
aisle of the theatre to the stage.
At this point the curtain lifted
and disclosed the dancer in person
standing before the footlights in
identically the same costume she
wore on the screen.
1t happened that on the opening
night of the Follies several film
producers were present. All of
them noted the excellent manner
in which Miss Murray screened
and saw possibilities in her as a
photoplay actress. The result was
that the following morning she
received no less than FIVE offers to
appear in motion pictures. She
accepted the one made by Adolph
zukor. because the picture which
he had in mind for her. Sweet

Enforcement of
License Law Is
Expected Soon

With the total of drivers licenses
issued up to closing time this after
noon exceeding the $1,000 mark in
dications now are that the secretary
of states office will be ready for
the rigid enforcement of the drfv-
ers' license law by the middle OF
September.
A careful check of applications
on file just completed shows a to-
tai of approximately 10000 re-
ceived to date instead of the more
than 10000 as roughly estimated
a week ago This leaves less than
10000 applications for licenses now
unwilied with from $500 to 3008
licenses going out of the depart
ment every day.
The department has been consid-
eAbly handicapped in its work OF
issuing the licenses through the
care1essness of applicants in omit
ting essential data, necessitatinE
the return of the application and =
duplication of effort which has
made for the delay of the entire
department. Many of the appIica-
tions are almost il not altogether
unreadabIe which also makes for
delay in handling the mass of work
involved setting the machinery OF
