THEGILpINCOUNTY
BIG URANIUM FIND
Ore Estimated Worth ST, 600 to
$4,000 a Ton; Mineral Shows
in Gold Rock Mine; Duffield
Sees High Per Cent Radium.

Central City, Colo, Dec 10
The recent discovery of uranium
bearing ore in the Gold Rock
mine in the Russell district, is
opening up strong and from pre-
sent indications gives promise Of
the largest and richest bodies Of
rraniGm ever deyelopea in G:lpin
county.
The find was made in the 4o0-
foot level, where miners have been
working on good crevice Of high
grade gold and copper ore. A
change in the formation of the
country rock brought in the uran-
ium ore, which was SO different
from the regular crevice that the
miners did not know what to do
with the minerals, as it did not
show any values in gold by pam
ming, and not heing familiar with
uranium ore, they were prepared
to throw it over the dump.
Mr.. McLain. one of the opera
tors of the property decided to
send a sample to 0. j. Duffield of
this city. who owns an electroscope
used for testing this character of
ore. Duffield pronounced the ore
TO be uranium, with a high per
cent Of radium.
The discovery was reported to
the Radium company of Colorado
and Mr.. Harrington, chief engi-
neer of that company, came to
Central City to investigate and
make tests have confirmed the re-
port made by Dnffield that the ore
was high grade uranium.
The zone or belt carrying this
character of ore crosses through
Quartz hill and is on direct line
with the Topeka, Bezant, Calhoun,
Kirk and Wood mines, and is
known to be the richest deposit OF
this metal in the world.
The streak at this time shows
eight inches of the solid ore, which
has been stripped for twenty feet
in length and twelve feet in the
stope, and is getting larger and
stronger as development progress
ess. The same size streak shows
in the bottom of the level and the
indications are that an immense
body Of this mineral will be deve-
loped. From tests made the ore car
ries as high as 50per cent uranium,
but an average of the mineral IS
showing in the workings would
indicate values of from 81 900 to
$4,000 per ton. The ore is be-
ing carefully slipped and the solid
streak taken down and sorted
closely so as to get the highest
grade of mineral.

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF TUBERCULOSIS
Chester Smith Passes Away at
His Home Wednesday Morn
ing After Many Months of
Stuff Ell ing; Funeral Today.

The death angel entered the
Chester Smith home on Virginia
street Wednesday morning t
o:45 o'clock, taking from the fam
lily circle the husband and father,
Chester G. Smith, who for more
than year had suffered with that
dreaded disease, tuberculosis.
After his return about two weeks
ago from Longmont, where ne had
been taking treatment, his condi-
tion was apparently improving and
his family and friends felt greatly
encouraged, thus making his death
at this time come as a shock. He
was able to be up most of the
time, and even the night before
his death he and his family spent
several hours at the home OF Mrs.
Smiths parents, few doors away.
About l1:30, however. a sudden
change for the worse took place,
and loved ones watched constantly
by the bedside thruout the night.
He was conscious up to the last,
and passed away peacefully and
with but very slight struggle.
Chester G. Smith was the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Don Smith of Dem
yer, both of whom had passed from
this life several years ago. He
was born in Denver June 10, 1883,
and died at bis home in this city
on Wednesday, Dec. s, 1920, max
ing his age at death 81 years, 5
months and % days. On June 10,
1912, he was married to Miss Julia
Hull of this city at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hull. and to this wedlock were
born two sons-Don, now aged
seven years, and Gordon, two and
one. alfyears.
Mr.. Smith was raised Presby-
terian, but had never affiliated with
any church, believing that right
GUS living and justice to his fellow
men we're the essentials OF Christi
anity. True to his belief, he lived
an honest and moral life, treating
his associates with kindness and
consideration, and in the eleven
wears of his life in Idaho Springs
he won the true friendship Of all
who knew him. All with whom he
came in contact had a good word
to say for 'sChetn Smith. He was
a good husband and a kind and
loving father, and his absence from
the family circle will be keenly
felt.
Coming here from Denver eleven
years ago, Mr.. Smith was employed
at the Hudson mill, where he
worked for several years. His
health beginning to fail, he gave
up mining and went to Denver,
being employed with the Gates

Excellence Need Fear No Royal rn

Orison Swett Warden in the New Suc- cess.
 Multitudes of employees constantly live in terror of someone who, they fear, is after their place. They are suspicious of office politics, suspicious that some- body working close behind them is try ing to crowd them out What is the re- suit This fear and suspicion interferes with their advancement to the place above them. Instead of looking back and thinking of the men after theif place they should. instead, look ahead, to the man above them, and be prepared for an advance when there is vacancy Perfect yourself in your line of work and you need never have any fear of other rivalry. There is always room at the top for the man or woman who has stamped the trademark of individuality, superiority and distinctiveness upon his or her work. Such a one need have no fear of the usurpation of his rights by others His position is assured.

6u0D WILL TRIUMPHANT UNDER TEsT

As this message is being written, Dodge Brothers daily, weekly and monthly production, is at the highest point in it's history.
 The most. casual sort of inquiry will satisfy you that this pro- duction is being absorbed as it is delivered.
 Within sight and sound as we write, great addition to Dodge Brothers immense works, IS being rushed to completion. The interesting thing about this situation is, that it is not likely that half a hundred people have ever bought Dodge Brothers Motor Gar just because they wanted a motor car.
 Of the more than half a million who have bought it-the over whelming majority did so be- cause of the name it bore.
 It has always been treated, by the American people in particu- lar, as an exception-always set apart, and singled out, and never judged by ordinary standards. It has always been thought of, and is still thought of, first, and foremost, and all the time, only in terms of it's goodness, and the results it gives.
 All of this is wonderful, in one way, and quite natural and logi- cal in another.
 It all dates back to the day when John and Horace Dodge con- ceivo md designed and finally built the car after warning each other, and their associates, not even 10 think of it in any other terms than the best obtainable value.
 They began with a few almost absurdly simple principles, bluntly expressed and rigidly executed, about decency and honor and integrity such as most of us wrote in our copy bao'Ss at school.

They reduced these old copy book naxirns to a splendid and scientific system, pouring more, and more, and still more value into the car, and then marshall ling all the resources of modern massed manufacture to get their product into the hands of the people at an honorable and al, honest cost.
 These policies and principles have never been changed, and never will be changed, by Sd much as a hairs breadth; and they have come to be recognized and accepted as Dodge Brothers principles wherever meter cars are driven.
 It has all happened as John and Horace Dodge planned 1t quite simply, naturally, and automat- ically, all over America, and all over the world.
 People do discriminate, as Dodge Brothers contended they would; people will find out when motor car is well built and gives good service and great good value.
 Dodge Brothers market today is where they planned to locate and establish it. in the mind and the heart of every man and woman who admires good work, we'll done.
 1t will last, and it will keep oa growing, as it has kept on grow ing for five years Caster than Dodge Brothers works could keep pace with it), as long as the number of those who believe that a manufacturer should build to serve and not merely to sell, continues to increase.
 All is well with Dodge Brothers today, because John and Horace Dodge builded well in the begin- ming, and because their business will continue to build well until the end.
