This change can be made without
any expense to you. The regular

"It is impossible for the
Bureau of Mines and Com
merce to carry out its plan
for the betterment Of Idaho
Springs with only a portion
of the business men backing
its undertakings. It is i'm
possible for a company, cor
poration or any, concern to
attain the highest standards
of efficiency when surround
ing merchants and dealers
stay on a lower plane. The
great sin of today is the
failure of a church, commu-
nifty or business concern to
do its best. but the greatest
sin of today is the failure of
a man to do his best when
his best is SO much needed"

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR SILVER MINES
Capitalists Greatly Interested; |;
Labor Situation Improving; !;
Two Hundred Men Needed
in the Clear Creek District.


Developments are under way in
many properties in Clear Creek
district and high grade ore being
run thru the mills. Easterners are
in this district almost every day
looking over properties-investi- IT,
eating and investing.
Mining activities are fast being
aroused thru the continued strong
and unlimited demands for metals,
especially is this true with gold
and silver. These two metals are
and always will be important, and
much in demand and anxiously
produced, because tn e country's
prosperous condition depends on
gold and silver.
Exports Of silver from the United
States for the first twenty-five days
of September were 70 the value of
$685., ,614, Of which $5, 10000 went
to China, and about $4,000 to
Japan.
The Mining Record of Denver
says: "Silver producers are happy
over the trend of prices downward.
Mining supplies are joining in the
procession and reduced living costs
are at hand. The result will be
that mining costs will be reduced
and silver producers will continue
to have the benefit of the 81 per
ounce silver price fixed by the
Pittman repurchase act. Silver
producers are assured of a fixed
price for their product for at least
four years ahead, and any decrease
in price of materials used in min
ing or in labor costs will widen the
margin of profit. High wages and
labor difficulties have been par.
TALLY responsible for the decreased
production of silver in recent years.
The labor situation is improving.
Yet there is still shortage, and
only this week we were told that
the Clear Creek county section of
Colorado could use a couple of
hundred additional underground
men if they were available. Clear
Greek county has been one of the
premier silver producing sections
Of Colorado, and the fine position
of the white metal and the future
outlook for lower costs is probably
responsible for the renewed activ-
ity. This same condition is being
felt in other substantial silver
producing districts in Colorado,
Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Mon
tana."
The operating force at the
Georgetown tunnel is to be in

JONES FIGHTING
 FOR AMERICAN
 FISHER MEN
TREATY IF RATIFIED WOULD DRIVE OUT EVERY FISHERMAN
 OPERATING UNDER AMERICAN FLAG IN BOTH PAFICiC AND ATLANTIC WITHIN FIVE YEARS.

WASHINGTON, June 24 (by Asso- ciated Press). .-Ratificatio of the proposed fisheries treaty between the United States and Great Britain would drive every American fishing under the American flag from the North At lantic and Pacific oceans within five years, Senator Jones, of Washington, declares in a letter to Secretary of State Colby made public today. The treaty would grant Canadian fishing vessels preferential privileges in Unit ed States ports which are now exclu- siVe prerogatives of the American ves- sels. Japanese will be eliminated from the deep sea fisheries off Alaska with difficulty if the treaty is ratified, the senator declares. If the American ports are opened to British vessels, how can they be denied to the Jap anese, he asks.
 Jones denied that fishing interests on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts weSs given ample opportunity to pre- sent their views. The treaty would not promote the development of the American fisheries, which request pro- tective legislation rather than a treaty.
 The treaty is one-sided, the senator says, and should not be further con- sidered, unless opportunity is given to present all pertinent facts before an unbiased tribunal.
