GOOD HOPE. MINE LEASED

Gunnison Empire. 1
A deal long under consideration
was consumated this week when M.
w. Bacon, associated with other New
York men, leased and bonded the
famous Good Hope mine at Vulcan.
The consideration in the bond is
$4,000 and work on unwatering and
otherwise improving the property will
start at once under the direction of
Superintendent Fox, who has pro-
NOTED the deal.
Attorney Walter P. Crose of Mont
rose has been here part of the week
looking after the legal end Of the
deal.
The Good Hope is very well de-
veloped property and has made a
splendid showing of pay ore in its
past. With steady operation we con-
slider it certain that fine producer
will be developed.

DON'T STEAL BEANS

During the war an ls-year-old
doughboy swiped can of pork and
beans from an army store. The can
and its contents were worth about
Is cents; the penalty the boy got was
one year and one day in the Leaven-
worth penitentiary.
A short time ago the War Depart
ment, by informal bid, sold six car
loads of candy to NJ C. Rayson, of
Washington, d. C. The Government
had paid s44,444.15 for this candy but
Mr.. Rayson, got it for $325 Sweets
that were bought for 251a cents a
pound were sold for .000000019 cents
a pound.
The moral, of course, is obvious.
Don't steal a 15-cent can of beans
from. the army. Go to the War De-
partment and for consideration you
can get away with few hundred
thousand dollars and get blessed in
the bargain.-Locomotive Engineers

Some years ago an intelligent,
well-educ ated Chinaman was sent by
his government to study the Gus
tous and habits of the Europeans. He
viewed things, of course, from the
oriental standpoint and his report
was amusing. Among otheer things,
he said: 1.-THE barbarians squander
their money on drains and dykes.
They do not know that pagoda will
keep away pestilence and attracts
prosperity and brings success. On a
narrow pavement the man always
gives way to the inferior creature
(woman). A husband allows his
wife to walk side by side with him
and nobody laughs. He even carries
parcels for her without being Knocked
at have even seen man serve his
wife at meals before his own father
This is not hearsay. saw it with
my own eyes" Melancholy as it may
seem to the Chinese people, the
'barbarians" of Europe still persist
in many of the pernicious practices
of which he complained.

CONSTANTLY BUSY
ExCayating and Hauling Done
on Production Scale.

There is always a great deal of
work necessary before a building can
be started, and this preparatory work
Is comparatively slow. The work of
excavatIng however. Is handled much
better and Is done within a shorter
period and with less effort because
of better equipment.
The Acme Gravel Company, Eagle
Creek and Kentucky Ave. takes care
OF a great deal of excavating work
as we'll as furnishing gravel for com
merctal buildings.
This company under the ownership
Of j. L. and f. H. Alley. has been in
existence for seventeen years and has
had charge of the present plant for
ten years. Because of remarkable
activity in the building industry IN
the city for the past few years this
company has seen steady, consistent
growth and is now equipped TO take
care OF large commercial orders.
This company" said F. H. Alley,
has eighteen trucks and these are
kept busy during the whole year. We
are commencing work on the new
Times building, to be erected on w
Maryland St., and In addition are TAX
ing care of work on large business
buildings scattered in all parts Of the

INDIANA COAL IS
IN GREAT DEMAND
HooSier Fuel Gains In Popu-
IarIty Year by Year,

Every year brings some new light
en- the subject of properly heating the
house. More and more stress has
been laid on the proper firing Of the
furnace. as one very good way to
eliminate much Of the SCOT and smoke
that is incident to burning softer
grades Of coal such as those mined
In this State.
A few years ago 1t was believed
that all this smoke and SCOT were
necessary evils accompanying locally
mined coal and nothing was done
about It, but It has recently been
found that careful firing does much
to reduce these evils.
According to Ray Macy. president
OF the Peoples Coal and Cement Com
pany. more and more Indiana coal Is
being sold. 80 far this year" said
Mr.. Macy, the volume Of Indiana coal
as compared to others, has been great
er than in any other recent year"
Statistics show that the best
grades of Indiana coal average 3,400
British thermal units per pound, While
Pocahontas coal averages 900 and
anthracite less. When 1t is consid-
cred that II costs s114 ton to pro
cure a ton of Indiana coal and $3.50
to ship in Pocahontas. it can be seen
how much less the former VIII cost.
Prices for coal seem absolutely
steady. There did not seem to be the
usual fluctuations during the month
of September and October. We are
handling very little anthracite, as
most consumers are using soft COAL"
In order to establish the better
grades Of Indiana coal. they have
been given names so that they can
be more easily remembered. There is
such a difference 1nthe grades of Indi-
ana coal that the man who orders
1t should have some knowledge of
this difference so that he will order
what he ,nsods and wants.

how much more convenient electricity

According to Tom Hatfield OF the
