Creede, Colo, Once Scene of Great
Boom, Begins Struggle for
Existence.

The story or the struggle of a small
mining town in Colorado for existence
has just been told by the Department
of the Interior. II is of Creede. in the
midst Of the great mountain group
called San Juan mountains. near the
Rio Grande, just below the picturesque
canyon Of Willow Creek. The citizens
Of Creole are now doing their best TO
make their town stopping place for
tourists, to Offset the decline in min
Ing
The first mining claims in the Creede
district, as stated in a report by the
Department of the Interior. through
the geological survey, were located in
1883. but the great boom. which RI
vailed anything in the early history os
other mining districts. did not begin
until late in 1891, when perhaps 10000
people rushed TO the camp railroad
was extended 10 It and the small
amount Of fiat land available In the
deep canyon was built up almost sol
idly. Early in the following year a
disastrous fire destroyed most OF the
new city. The city was rebuilt, but
the boom subsidized almost as rapidly as
ii had grown
II was In June, 1891. that two pros
pectors, Theodore Rehninger and Jull-
ms Haas, grubstaked by two butchers
Of Del Norte, set ont to prospect the
Creole region. il is said that the
search for their strayed burros led
Renninger 10 the outcrop on the IN.
nous Last Chance claim The poor
surface indications led him to define
his claim the Last Chance" A short
time later he sold his share in It for
$4,000, but by December 1892, the
mine had produced silver and other
ore valued Mt nearly $1,5OOOOO.
After the great boom the district
settled down to more regular exist
ence and has produced metuls valued
at more than S4OO0O.0O0, about half
of which was distributed as profits
The metal produced In largest guam
tity is silver, which makes up about
two-thirds OF the total value of the
metallic output. Lead makes about
one-hfth and gold about one-iifteenth.
Most OF the metal mined was taken
from a single vein which extends along
great fault or earthquake rift that
is several miles long and cuts volcanic
rocks Many thousand years ago the
rocks on one side Of this fault were
dropped down more tlsn ] 500 feet. A
mining tunnel follows this vein for
about two miles Some ore has been
produced from other veins, most of
which extend along faults.

BIG FOOTBALL NEED
is LOVE FOR SPORT
Genuine Liking for Game Is Most
Necessary Quality.

A genuine liking for football is
most necessary quality if a player
hopes TO be a star, writes Aubrey De
vine Of Iowa in the Chicago Evening
Post. True. some football players
reach stardom who are not crazy about
the strenuous game. Unusual natural
ability makes it possible. However,
such players would be Of far greater
value TO their team II they really liked
the spO~f.
With the liking for the game goes
the determination or win to do. Some
win call il nerve, others will use the
TITLE vulgar yet very appropriate
word, CUTS"
Success in college football rests upon
the same broad foundation as does sue
cess in any other line of endeavor II
a man does not enjoy playing football
FOR its own sake and is not possessed
Of the viii power 10 perfect himself in
the game 10 the very limit Of his ca
pacity to do so. he can no more expect
to reap the rewards of successful
football career than he could expect to
be successful in any other line of work
In which he might engage in half
hearted manner. In other words. he
must be willing to pay the price.
Finally, to sum 1t all up I'm answer to
the question, "Why high school stars
do not make good In college" we may
say that some never were stars while

prohibition in Illinois. As a member
of the lower house in the legislature,
Mr.. Brewer was one of the most
capable, earnest and dependable lead
ers in the fight for dry legislation
When the question of ratification OF
the Eighteenth Amendment by Hi
nois was before the House, Mr.
Brewer was seriously i'll. Knowing
that the vote would be close and de
termincd to record his vote for rati-
/ fication, Mr.. Brewer was carried to
the State House on stretcher and
assisted by friends to his seat in time
to vote YES" when his name was
reached on the roll-call.
| The news of Mr.. Brewers death,
as the result of an accidental fall
from a load of hay on his farm last
I July brought grief not only to his
local friends and ncighbors but also
/ to many others all over the state who
knew of his splendid record OF public
service.
The following, relative to Mr.
] Brewer, is reprinted from the Sterling
Daily Gazette.
| Leader in Community.
Mr.. Brewer was man OF exem-
plaFy character. He was ever de-
voting time and money for the bet
terment of his community. Proof OF
his standing in the community can
best be seen through the various offices
which he had held, the most important
of which, perhaps, is that of represen-
tatiye of the thirty-hfth district,
serving for three terms.
In 1914 Mr.. Brewer was elected
chairman OF the Whiteside county
board of supervisors, OF which he had
begl member for seven consecutive
years. He resigned as chairman of the
board upon beng elected a member OF
the House of Representatives in the
Forty-ninth General Assembly. He
was reelected to the fiftieth and fifty
first General Assemblies and his rec
ord is an enviable one. He was a Re
publican.
For the past two years his time
and attention had been taken up with
his business interests, he being presi-
dent OF the State Bank OF Tampico and
OF the Farmers Cooperative Elevator
Company and the township school
bo1rd. His farm has been managed
! by Lyle Barnard, although Mr.. Brewer
retained his home there.
| Mr.. Brewer was born in Washing
| ton, d. G., September 20, 1875. He was
dedicated at the Evanston Academy
Northwestern University. While
at Northwestern he was prominent in
athletics, being member of the foot
ball. track and tennis teams. He was
member of the Delta Tau Delta
fraternity and had charge of the edu-
cational department OF the university

cation he became superintendent of the

of the high school, occupying these
positions for five years. For thirteen
