Metal Mining Meeting

There was fairly good attend
ance at the regular monthly meet
ing of the Metal Mining Assn, on
last Friday evening.
The chairman appointed w. o,
Jenkins, Arthur Taylor and John
McNeill as committee of three to
write letter to Congressman Nc
Fadden and the Colorado senators
and representatives, urging the
early passage of the McFadden
gold bonus bill.
A letter was read from Repres-
entative-elect Louis j. Carter in
reference to any legislation which
the association may want intro
duced at the coming session of the
legislature. He said he wanted to
cooperate with the association
and was anxious to be of any SER
vice to the mining men that he
could.
Arthur Taylor, chairman of the
bylaws committee submitted a
set of bylaws which were adopted
without any changes.
John McNeill introduced res
olution denouncing certain pro-
moters for INSCRIPTIONS tactics,
The resolution was referred to a
committee consisting of Jay By
ron, c. A. Frost and H. J. Stahl to
report at the next regular meet
ing upon the advisability of adopt
ing the resolutions.
Jay Byron addressed the asso.
citation in reference to the need of
advertising either by publishing
a mining paper worthy of the
name, or taking some other course
to attract investors to Gilpin
county. H. P. Altvater, Peter Nc.
Farlane and Arthur Taylor were
appointed on a committee to com.
municate with at least 100 of the
mine owners and gain an idea OF
their willingness to finance an ad.
vertising campaign of some kind
and if the response from these
was encouraging, the remainder
of the mine owners would be sol.
icited.

Death of Mrs: Elizabeth Day

Many were the expressions of
deepest sorrow Sunday evening
when word was received from
Denver that Mrs. Elizabeth Day,
wife of DIR. A. H. Day, had passed
away. The news came as a COM
plete shock to her friends here.
for while it was known that she
was not in the best of health no
one realized that the end was so
near. Friday afternoon Mrs. Day
was in comparatively good health
and attended a party given by
Mrs. C. M. Froid. Saturday she
complained Of slight cold and
Sunday pneumonia developed. Ow-
ing to the weakened condition of
the heart no hope was held for her
recovery. Life gradually ebbed
away and death came peacefully
and without pain. She was fully
conscious until the end.
Services were held at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. B. E. Toll
man, 1118 Josephine street, Den
yer, Wednesday afternoon. Many
of the old friends who had be-
come devoted during the many
years Mrs. Day had resided in
Central City were present, and the
numerous floral pieces conveyed
to the family the heartfelt sympa-
thy of all. The body was brought
to Central this morning and taken
to the City cemetery, where it was
given final resting place beside
the son, Harvey, who died twenty
four years ago.
Mrs. Day was born in Pekin,
Ill.,, in February, 1849, and on Oc-
tober %, 1868, married Mr.. Day.
They resided in Pekin until 1879,
when they removed to Central
City. A little over two years ago
they celebrated their golden we'd
ding anniversary. The union was
an ideal one and continued in en-
during happiness until death sep
arated two souls, constant in their
devotion and never-ending love.
Three children blessed the happy
home-Nellie, (Mrs. B. E. Toll
man, Harvey and Albert.
Mrs. Day was endowed with all
the noble traits of character,
goodness of heart and sweetness
of voice and personality that make
lovely woman, true and help
full wife, devoted mother, and a
cherished friend. We are all deep
ly moved over her loss and sor-
rowful over her death.

Tree Slaughter

Every year millions of ever
green trees are sacrificed to grace
the Christmas celebration for a
few days, then to be consigned to
the ash pile. This is a feature of
the gladstone Yuletide that de-
tracts from its joyousness for
those who love the trees.
OF course the kiddies must have
their Christmas tree, but it is not
necessary to have real trees, as in
this clever age artificial ones ans
wer the same purpose and are al
ready being used in a number of
homes and other places at Christ.
mas. If the people of our land de-
cided to use nothing but mar-
made trees for Christmas there
would be a plenteous supply for
all, as the manufacturers would
make them in all sizes, so that
there would be no need to cut
down any trees for the purpose
The artificial tree would do just
as well as the real ones, and the
same tree could be used for many
years.

Weary of Virtue

For months | save the dollars
with energy sublime, and wear
old shoes and collars to save an
other dime. For months l am a
student of thrift in every guise;
l am so beastly prudent l make
men blink their eyes. l preach on
self denial beneath my own roof
tree, till life becomes trial to all
who live with me. For months l
keep on raving about the penny
gained; and then l get sick of saw
ing, by thrift my soul is panied.
And so blow my money as tho l
had no sense, and live on milk and
honey, regardless of expense; l
patronize the tailor and buy a
fordmobile, and like a jingled
sailor l burn the hard earned
wheel. Then, tired of misbehav-
ing, 1 gently simmer down, and
once again Pm saving the guilder
and the crown. And such a course
seems dotty to people safe and
sane, who think such orgies
naughty. and villainous and vain.
But saving, tho virtue, may soon
become "a fault that's bound to
badly hurt you, unless you call a
halt before the shining dollar to
you seems so immense that all the
world looks smaller than it's cir
cumference. The thrifty man is
wiser than is the sepndthrift jake;
but oh, the greedy miser! He

OUR NEXT LEGISLATURE

1t is expected that the Republi-
cans who compose a majority of
both houses in the state legisla-
ture will meet in caucus on the
third day of January next to de-
termine the course of legislation
at the next general assembly. 1t
is quite probable that an effort
will be made to establish caucus
rule upon all matters pertaining
to legislation. That is, the party
will hold caucus upon all bills
and decide whether they shall be
enacted into law or defeated. Each
individual member will bind him
self to abide by the decision of the
majority.
OF all forms of legislation this
is one of the most Objectionable.
No member should be forced or
expected to vote for legislation to
which he is opposed. 1t looks as

bill the different departments of
the state government are run by a
board of eleven members. The gov

board and he names or appoints
five of the others who hold at the
governors pleasure. This, with
the governor, makes six members,
a majority of the board. AS the
governor can discharge at will
those that he appoints he will have
absolute control over every de-

Mr.. Dooley on the Open Shop

what is all this talk that's in

asked Mr.. Hennessy.
why, don't you known" said
Mr.. Dooley. Really, I'm surpris-

What's the open shop? Sure, tits a

open t. accommodate the constant
stream of min comm in t. take
jobs cheaper than tn min that has
the jobs. 'Tis like this Hennessy.
Suppose one of these freeborn Am

of wan large iron dollar day of
tin hours. Along comes another
freeborn son-of-a-gun, and he sez
to tn boss, 4 think l can handle
tn job for ninety cents 'Shure,'
sez the boss, an the dollar man
gets the merry jinglin' can, and
goes out into the crool world to ex-
ercise his inalienable rights as a
freeborn Amerycan citizen t. scab
on some other poor devil. An so
it goes on, Hennessy. An who gets
the benefit? Thrue, it saves the
boss money, but he don't care no
more for money than he does for
his right eye. It's all principle
with him. He hates to see tn min
robbed of their independence, re-
gardless of anything ilse."
But" said Hennessy, "these
open SHOP min We minshun say
they are fur the unions if proper
ly conducted"

HELPING ONE ANOTHER

When the great truth that we
are mutually dependent upon each
other, becomes an article of faith
with each one of us everybody will
be happier and the town in which
we live will grow by leaps and
bounds, says an exchange.
No man can live unto himself
alone. He is either a helper or a
hinderer. Even the hermit, if any
such exist in these lively times,
exerts a morbid influence upon ev-
erybody who has heard of his ex-
istence.
One mean act produces another
just as. mean. But then the reverse
is true; the generous heart that is
forever devising some plan where
by to aid others into more cheer
full living is also producer of
similar aims in others
We ought to praise our town or
get out of it. If it is not to our
liking then we are not to it's lik-
ing. If we go to bed every night
with crouch against the town
and its people we should hunt
other quarters at once.
If we wish to be truly happy and
contentcd with our work we must
love it. We must go.to our daily
tasks with glad heart and a sing
ing soul; if we cannot do that we
are in the wrong place, a square
peg in round hole.
We should never cherish ill will
toward our employer. If he is un-
just or oppressive or tyrannical
we should part from him. But so
long as we hold the job we should
be men enough to respect him
or it, if we work for corporation
-applauding his good qualifica-
tions and keeping silent concern
ing his faults.
We make mistake and lose
many an opportunity to help 9th
ers and get good for ourselves
when we fail to keep our eyes and
ears open to the woes and the
wants of others. Every good deed
done in the unselfish way returns
in blessings upon the doer's head.
If we will keep cheerful and
happy while working or resting
if we will study to be quiet and
contented, giving no place to the
spirit of restlessness, we may
probably be of so much use to the
generation of which we are men,
bers that our last months and
weeks will be crowned with happy
memories and bright anticipa-
tions.
| Doubtless every one of us was
sent into the world for a specific
purpose. Doubtless each of us
has work to do no other person
can do so well. Let us hunt our
job, cling to it until it is finished
and approach the inevitable end
with a tranquil mind and cheerful
heart. .~,-

In an effort to locte a milligram
of radium worth $4,000 workmen
in Utica. N. Y, are tearing up a
sewer system of the Paxton hos
pital. A doctor was using the
radium in the treatment of the
cancer of woman patient. The
radium burned her and in irrita-
tion she took off the bandage con-
tanning the tiny radium tube and
threw it down drain pipe. With
the pitchblende ore from which
radium is extracted so plentiful
in Gilpin county, it would seem
that it would be less expensive to
take it out of the ground than dig
up sewer.
