THE STATESMAN. ORGAN OF THE COLORED PEOPLE IN COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, UTAH AND NEW MEXICO. NEGROES and MINES Paper Read before State Business League by G. C. Sample. VOL. XV. Mining is one of our great basic industries. It constitutes, with agriculture, the source of our national wealth. As America is the great granary of the world to which all countries, to a greater or less degree, look for their supply of the necessities of life, so in mineral wealth America leads in resources and diversity of nature's precious gift to man. As our home, Colorado, is today the Mecca of the gold worshipper, and millions of dollars are invested, and when we take in consideration the avenues that are closed against the Negro for gaining wealth, it is strange that there are not more of our race digging and forming themselves into companies to mine a product which God has given a right to all men alike. The opportunities for our race of small means to engage in profitable individual enterprises are drawing down to a limited range. The large department stores are making individual mercantile ventures extremely hazardous. The trusts are also bing everything in the line of manufactures. Big syndicates are acquiring the timber and coal reserves. In a few years capital will cover the entire mining field and the opportunity for making a fortune DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, 9 JUNE, 1905 from small investments will pass away. The day when a man or woman can enter the commercial arena with only a few hundred dollars and meet with success in ended. They can no longer hope to engage in a profitable business with a slender stock of hoarded savings. Some of us put our savings in banks for the presidents to steal. One of our race living in Colorado Springs lost $5000 in the Fidelity bank in this city. Its officers are now on trial. However, there is still one way open today wherein a man or woman with limited means stands an equal chance with the investor of millions in gold and copper mining investment. Many in this audience know people who have made lots of money from small investments in mining and are new living in ease and comfort. Look at the beautiful city of Denver. Who built up these fine structures but the millionaires from the production of gold and copper mines. Shrewd men with wealth see this point and are pouring their reserve capital by the millions into the gold and copper mines and are taking out gold by the tens of millions. Now let us stop and think. If men and women who labor would only cooperate in the same way with their savings they too could share the bounty of the rock-ribbed hills whose wealth as yet no dreams have ever compassed. Intelligent investors insist on a business foundation whereon to base their expectations for a reasonable income from a safe and permanent source. Better proof of the superior value of gold and copper mine investment cannot be given than the fact that the great insurance companies, the trusts and the aggregated capital of the country are investing extensively in gold and copper mines in Colorado. Many a man and woman have gone to sleep, who were called poor, who had nothing but their wages and a few shares in some gold mining company which were purchased from their savings at the ground floor price; but the company was digging and working day and night and when these persons awoke one morning they found they were rich. The Calumet and Hecla mines in 1900 paid the shareholders 280 per cent dividend. Had you invested $100.00 or $1000.00 you would have received 280 per cent dividend and still own your shares. The $100.00 invested in these shares is now worth $7,650 in either of the above mentioned mines. The Homestake shares once sold for 25 cents. I personally know a man who bought 200 shares in this mine and he has received $10.000 a month for the past twelve years. The Uncle Sam sold for 25c per share four years ago and now they are now worth $12,600 a share and none can be bought at that price. Remember a mine is not discovered every day but when one is found, and that a short distance from Denver, and you are invited to go and see for yourself, go down in the mine, dig out the ore, have it tested for what is claimed for it, a company like I mention is acting (Continued on Editoral page.)

I was studying the strike situation in Chicago recently, and at first was somewhat elated at the prospect of so many colored men gaining positions in the labor world, which had previously been denied them owing to the arrant prejudice of organized labor unions. I thought at first, in conjunction with other of my fellowmen, that the employers and contractors were willing to deal fairly with men who risked limb and life in order that the wheels of industry might not become clogged. But after all is it wise that we should become cat's paw for the monkey. You remember the old saw. "The devil was sick the devil a monk would be; the devil got well, the devil a monk was he." That readily applies to organizations composed of employers and contractors Sick at seeing their pockets depleted by the strike of laborers from teamster to carpenter, they make overtures to the men of this nation who have never faltered at what they considered a duty. The appeal was made to the colored laborer. He was told that the prosperity of the community was at stake; that now was the time to break down the barrier of organized labor which had always been inimical to his own interests, had always kept him on a low plane in the industrial marts, therefore with less opportunity to provide for his family and educate his offspring. Indeed, some of the employers went so far as to say that under no circumstances whatever would they recognize organized labor in replacing them if they would take hold, drive their teams and keep the industrial wheel in motion. "The devil was sick," and we find that the devil has hardly become convalescent be- (Continued on Editoral page.) ```markdown ``` NO.47 VETERANS ON PARADE. Written expressly for Tae Srarzs- man by Franklin Bryant. Columbia dons her mourning robes, Andjsheds her tears anew Upon the flowered beds of death, Where sleep her boys in blue, Whils veteraus of her bloody wars, Who treason’s onslaughts stayed, Oace more before their monarch pass On solemu dress parade. Upon the crimsoned fields of fame Their comrades slumbering be; The bugle ceased, oh, long ago To sound the reveille, Their arms are stacked and furled their flags, : Thay lie in bas relief Oc monumental battle fields, In obedience to the Chief.’ And some who're marching by today Will answer soon to “taps.” And never more march by again; Whether in shoulder-straps, Or, in the simple private’s dress, They're on the Grand Review, And cheering as they pass the stand, They wait the last tattoo. March on, ye gallant soldier boys, Ye veterans nobly gray, We follow you with stars and stripes Each Decoration Day. Within our hearts thy memories bloom And such will ever be Thy lot until the bugle, Tims, Shall sound the Reveille. Float on, O lovely stars and stripes! Fair banner, ne'er be furled O’er Lincoln’s pulseless, loving heart, Big as the human world, Nor o’er the hearts that sleep near his Till God shall bid them rise, And catch the step, and fall in line With the army of the skies, Spictng. “During the Christmas holidays, some ten or twelve years ago,” said an instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, “our present provost, ©. C. Harrison, gave a dinner in honor of the then provost, Dr. William Pep- per. “Provost Harrison is not prone to punning, but on this occasion he made a joke. As Dr. Pepper, a little late, entered the crowded drawing-room, he said to his guest, comprehending the assembled gentlemen with a wave of his hand: “‘My dear Dr. Pepper, how glad you must be to see your friends all mustered.’ ” “Bricks” and “Breeks.” Jean Maxwell, who became the duchess of Gordon and by her own in- genious methods raised up the regi- ment of Gordon Highlanders, once had a painful misunderstanding with the laird of Craigmyle. The laird was euperintending the making of bricks when she called. “Well,” she asked, “and how do the bricks get on?” Craigmyle, who had only recently dis. earded the kilt, replied in pure Aber- flenshire: “Muckle obleeged to yer grace; the breeks war some ticht at first, but they're daeing weel enough noo.” 5 THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. AN ARIZONA GRIDIRON GENTLE COLLEGE SPORT PLAYED ON THE MESA. Reporter to Whom the Game Is Evi dently New Describes Its Fine Points—Usual Accessories, Including Doctors, Present on the Side Lines, What our reporter doesn’t know about a football game would fill a barn loft. He doesn’t know a full-back from a humpback, a quarter from a quarter horse, or a right guard from the Seventh cavalry, but he is handy at toting stretchers around a football game. At 2 o'clock, dull, the clans had gathered at the old ball grounds. AN the boys were incased in feather beds and other defenses. There were two doctors, an ambulance, a stretcher, a gallon or arnica, all kinds of bandages and a Red Cross wagon, and they needed them all. Summed up in a nutshell, football is about like this: The first thing is a kick-off, which doesn’t arhount ta much. Then after that a fellbw holds the ball between his legs, with a row of shaggy old boys behind him, who stand with glittering eyes and fangs protruding, white somebody blows a whistle and somebody else-counts, any old way, till he comes to a certain number, when the ball is fired back- ward, some one catches it, runs about six feet, when just twenty-one men pile on him, jam him in his slate, twist him like a pretzel and flatten him out till he isn't thicker than a tortilla; then they all fall off and holler, ‘Water, water, water! Bring the doctor!” And they rub his leg and chunk him in the neck and bring him to and lift him tenderly on a stretcher, and as they bear him away he lifts his only whole band and waves {t to his comrades and yells for Tomb- stone or the ‘varsity, as the case may be. And now we are all on the ground and the boys are jockeying and the au- tomobiles are resting, and old No. 8 1s panting as she pumps air, and on one side of me is one of Tombstone’s Incomparable specimens of angelic pleasantness in the guise of a school “marm,” and on the other an old dame who looks as if she had been carved out of jerkey, and the small boy with a tine horn and a rubber scout on the end of it was there making the ambient air hideous with incessant dis- cord, and a woolly rider who imagines he is Count Cassini riding down the enemies of the fatherland is plunging about on horseback, among the women and children, till the officers yank him earthward and the big signal goes up and the battle begins. They start at the middle of the bull ring and the Tucsons have evidently entered into contract te drive the Tombstones west and right royally they followed out the terms of that contract. An old Kansas sod plow wouid not be a suggestion to the hoofs and elbows that plowed up that inno- cent mesa for two long hours.—Tomb- stone Epitaph.

Arboreal Aristocracy. The evergreens are the aristocracy of the tree world, writes Anna Bots- forG Comstock in the Chautauquan. They represent the oldest families; for their ancient relatives appeared as early as the Silurian age; the ever- greens were probably at their height in number of species and magnifi- cence of development during the Tri- assic period. The pines were contem- poraries of all those plants which were put to bed in the Devonian age, and which forms our coal beds of to- day. The evergreens aze a dignified remnant of an older tree race, which is being pushed to the wall by the upstarts, the oaks and maples and oth- er deciduous trees, They still cling to the sandy shores where there is lit- tle to protect other trees and to the mountains and northern regions where other trees have not the strength to endure. Perhaps it Is because they belong essentially to another geologic ege when the climate was far different from our climate of to-day, that they do not shed thelr leaves in winter Itke the adaptable deciduous trees. vuewoweyy “They say there was a big battle raging in the East yesterday,” sald Pottering Pete. “I wonder who won it.” “We did, by two columns,” replied the Western editor. “We had a four column account of it and our miser able contemporary only had two.” Excuse for Getting Drunk.

Tetal Products of the Soil Reach an Enormous Sum. The farmers of the United States are our greatest benefactors. In 1904, for example, our farm products were worth in the aggregate $4,900,000,000, an increase of 31.2 per cent over 1899. The sum is three times the gross earnings of all our railways and six times are amount of the capital stock of all the national banks. The corn crop would pay the national debt. Next to corn comes cotton, worth this year $600,000,000, while hay and wheat together about equal the value of corn. The rice crop reaches nearly 1,000,000, 000 pounds, being 200,000,000 pounds more than ever before. The secretary of agriculture becomes impressive, however, when he tells us that the patriotic hens of the country in one month lay eggs enough to pay a year's interest on the public debt. The farmer is said to be prospering this year beyond the record. To prove this the secretary shows that in the three distinctively agricultural states of Iowa, Kansas and Mississippi the deposit is in all kinds of banks increased in the eight years from June 30, 1896, to October 31, 1904, by, respectively 164, 219 and 301 per cent. During the same period the deposit in all banks of the United States as a whole increased by 91 per cent.—Baltimore Sun. ```markdown ``` "Pretty smart girl.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY POOR OF NEW YORK. Pathetic Figures in Ranks of Those Glad to Partake of the Bounty of Fleischmann, the Dead Philanthropist — Incompetents Predominate. "Long before midnight it extends from the door behind the bakery, midway up the block, to Broadway, and round the corner toward the entrance to Grace church," writes Geraldine Bonner of the "bread line," a charity in New York. "As we approached up the loneliness of the deserted, icy street we could see it, dim and motionless, like a sinister black snake, each figure a vertebra in its sinuous length. The cold was intense and the men stood close together. Most of them were silent; they seemed held in the deadly grip of the frost and their own misery. We were near them when midnight struck, and with a slow, shuffling movement the column began to move forward. At the upper end we could see it breaking into dark segments, some of which disappeared into the night, while others stayed about eating their bread in the ice-bound street at midnight. We drew away into a darkened angle where we could not be seen and for a space watched them. Some took their loaves, hid them under their coats and walked away rapidly with firm, quick steps. Others ate them then and there with a hungry, fierce indifference. We saw several who, with the bread hidden, went back to the end of the line and joined it again. "From the huge pail of coffee at the door a man ladled dipperfuls into tin cups and with his loaf of bread each recipient of the dead baker's bounty was given a cup. Several did not take them. Most did and stood about drinking the coffee and biting pieces off the loaf. Here there were a few desultory remarks interchanged. But for the most part the whole business was executed in a grim silence. It was difficult to see what manner of men they were. One cannot stare at a brother in affliction, even when he is standing at midnight in the 'bread line.' Many of those I saw looked as if they might be of that vast class of incompetents who live upon the city's generosity. But here and there a face struck your eye that was not the face of the drunk, the tramp or the beggar. "We noticed a young man having the appearance of a gentleman who was without an overcoat and had gloves on. He took his loaf, thrust it under his coat and fled. A fresh-faced lad, stalwart and ruddy, who looked like a boy in from the country, was embarrassed and ashamed. He kept making jocular remarks to his neighbors and then giving loud, sheepish laughs—the only sound of that sort to be heard in that dismal assemblage. He carried a new shovel in his hand and had evidently been working among the snow shovelers. For these and their like Fleischmann, the baker, must have established the 'bread line.'" Nubian Whistling Tree. Among the curiosities of tree life is the sofar, or whistling tree, of Nubia. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out flute-like sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. Would Be the Villain. When the weather's cold and nasty and my bones begin to ache. When my offspring write for "dough" in accents blue. Which I have to hustle to them, though I know it's all a fake— When I can't collect a single cent that's due— When the cook is on the rampage and declines to fix a meal— When the boss jumps on me forty times a day— Tis then, I must admit it, those are the times I feel That I'd like to be the villain in the play. I'd like to be the villain and I'd like to cuss and shoot, And I'd like at every turn to set a snare And lay a line of trouble out for every blamed galoot That has ever crossed my pathway anywhere. When I find misfortune's bound to keep me ground beneath her heel— When my ma-in-law has come a month to stay— Tis then, I must admit it, those are the times I feel That I'd like to be the villain in the play. New Fortifications. Army officers of Seattle say that the United States government will erect fortifications opposite Port Simpson, which has been chosen as the terminal of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, and, therefore, will be a very important strategical point for Great Britain.

Japanese Love of Country. There are many instances in Japan of soldiers who have loved their coun- try more passionately even than their families. Americans may think it hor- rible and incredible, but Japanese women understand the intense feeling of loyalty which predominates above everything in soldiers’ hearts. In the interior of Japan a young farmer on the outbreak of war was suddenly called to the colors. Two days’ prep- aration was given him to settle his af- fairs and to start for Tokyo. His wife had a very young infant. The young mother was so overcome with grief at this unexpected news that she faint- ed away and within an hour died, leav- ing her husband alone with the new- born babe. What could he do with it? Who could care for such a mite? Feeling that his own life was forfeited to his country the poor man in a frenzy of passionate grief killed his own child. Of course the law had to step in and he had to be tried for mur- cer. A merciful jury acquitted him on the ground of emotional insanity. It bothers some men to find out how other men manage to keep up a show on a small income. Cyan A Qur Basement Underprice Store Is becoming known to all the prudent buyers of goods for wear.

Sneer and possess the credit Of being most worldly wise; Whenever a cynic appears The people incline their ears And look with wondering eyes. We fear to clap our hands in praise Of that which still is strange and new; But, pursing up our lips, we gaze And slyly wait to get the cue. Each pompously assumes a pose And thinks with wise looks to impress. And each knows that each other knows What none is willing to confess. The picture or the song may thrill. May be sublime, but we, because We fear the scoffer's sneer, are still— If others do not give applause. When they that are supposed to know Approve at last, with great ado We clap our hands and bravely show Our fine appreciation, too. But if no knowing ones appear To speak in praise we turn away, And others, seeing that we sneer. Think. "Ah, how very wise are they!" Oh, bravest of the brave in thought And bravest in all holy ways Is he that, seeing worth, is not Afraid to be the first to praise. 'Tis wonderful that men ever Give merit praise, or cheer, Since the verlest fool may be A cynic, and since we see But wit in the cynic's sneer. —S. E. Kiser. He Got a Klondike. "I went into a little German restaurant on the East Side the other night," said the stroller about town, "and asked for a herring sandwich. This particular place is famous for specialties in the katzenjammer line. But I did not wish to drink any beer. I was on the water wagon. When the waiter brought me my sandwich I asked him for a glass of water. He didn't bring it. I asked the second time, and when I saw the forgetful, far-away look on his face I called the proprietor. He came, unwillingly, and I explained the situation. Beckoning to the waiter, he said, in a sour voice: 'Fin Klondike!' "Don't tell me German restaurants haven't a slang of their own as characteristic as that of the beanery."—New York Press. Another Edition. "Where have you been until this late hour?" asked the wife of a literary man, when he came home in the wee small hours. "Oh, I've been sitting up with a sick friend," replied the man, hanging his hat on the gas jet. "If any one should ask you, dear, don't forget to tell them that that is the forty-fifth edition of that particular piece of your fiction." Island Disintegrates. German experts are becoming alarmed at the rapidity with which the cherished island of Heliigoland is disintegrating. The sea does some harm, but not nearly so much as rain, heat, frost and melting snow. An attempt is to be made to check the damage by means of pipes for catching the water. American Sunday Schools.

A precocious youngster of 5 years, living on the Park Slope, has a little sister, with whom he is compelled to divide his gifts, very much to his dislike. The little girl generally comes out at the small end of the horn, and therefore, when, one day recently, he was noticed eating the smaller of two applies that had been given to him, it excited the comment of his mother. "How did you hapepn to give Elsie the big apple and keep the little one for yourself? Mamma is glad to see her little boy growing generous."

The hardest fare that six young men and a boy of 15 ever kept alive on was the daily menu of the Wind- over’s survivors, who were cast up on the Irish coast near Kilsegg. They lived for sixteen days on stewed rope yarn, without a crumb of anything else to help digest it, except water, and though it made them fll, they kept alive on it and did not waste away very much, The Windover was dismantled and abandoned about 1,000 miles out on the AUantic. The ‘crew took to the whaleboat and set out for Britain. Be- ing in too much of a hurry, they took too little food, but three large butts of water, besides the tank the boat already held. The result was that they ate up their provisions in four days, but had water enough for a month, and, after starving two days more, they tried boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope into a pulp and swallowing it. ‘They had a gek of paraffin wax, and, though it made them very ill at first, they eventually contrived to live on the boiled hemp, the tar, boiled to a jelly, adding to the nourishment of the rope. BIRDS’ NEST ON ROOF. Night Hawks Select Top of Office Buildine for Abode. The janitor of one of the tall office bulldings had occasion to go out upon the roof recently and was more than startled by a large bird which took to flight with a protesting cry from a place ve Poe his feet, and he barely escaped stepping upon two darkly marked eggs. There was not a sign of a nest, for night hawks, roof dwell- ers that they are, lack either the art or the inclination to provide other then a hard bed for their young. The bird hatched its little ones un- molested, the janitor telling but one person of his find, and to-night, it may be, they will take their first flight into a darkened world. They will see thelr way well enough, for the night hawk holds in contempt the crea- tures needing anything brighter than starlight to make clear the path. The parent birds have kept up their food bearing trips after all the world has been asleep, no matter what the dis- turbances down on the ground; they have been faithful as birds are always faithful to the parental instinct.—Co- jJumbus Dispatch.

Transformed Into Catapult, Animal Made Bold Attack on Intrepid and Truthful Hunter Brave Hound Saved Life of Master. Some curious stories of the wild and woolly West have been sent to eastern newspapers, but the following dispatch from Oakland to the Buffalo Times easily surpasses all others in the riotous imagination of the writer, who has sent one of the most timid of animals out on the warpath against a hunter: Even those who are familiar with the Armadillo in his native wilds are not apt to give him credit for his fighting abilities. While nature has provided him with a defensive armor which is a protection against most of his enemies, instances of his attacking man, even in self-defense, are extremely rare. The experience of Fred Petmecky on a recent hunting trip proved that an armadillo can and will fight when able to choose its battleground, and its method of attack is unique and terrible. While riding toward camp one evening Mr. Petmecky heard a hound baying in a thicket. Knowing the dog was aware it was unlawful for it to run deer and not expecting to find anything more dangerous than a wampus or a grufflni, he left his rifle in the scabbard and went to investigate. He found the hound baying at a huge armadillo, which he seemed afraid to attack. On seeing its new enemy the armadillo rapidly prepared for action. Making a noise like a lion, it seized a small sapling in its mouth and looped its tail around another. Then, by contracting its body, it bent the sapling held by its mouth as far as it was able. Having thus transformed itself into a catapult, it released its hold and was hurled with terrific force. Doubling itself into a ball as it flew through the air, it struck Mr. Petmecky on the shoulder, knocking him down. Nearly stunned by the force of the blow and the fall, the hunter staggered to his feet just as the armadillo was ready for a second attack, which it made with like results. The hound, which had seemed to be surprised and too terrified to take any part in the strange battle, now recovered itself and, before the armadillo could launch itself at the man again, seized it by the unprotected portion of its body and killed it. Had it not been for the faithful hound Mr. Petmecky's injuries might have been serious. As it was he was too bruised and battered to mount his horse and proceeded to camp on foot, bringing with him the dog and one of the saplings bearing the marks of the armadillo's tail as proof of his singular adventure. Many people worry over things which ought to worry someone else. There is such a thing as a too tenacious minding of one's own business. Right-thinking people have a hard time dissecting the motives of others. When you start in to stir up trouble be prepared to combat the consequences. WARNING.

ARTILLERY IN BATTLE MAIN RELIANCE OF COMBATANTS IN PRESENT WAR. Japanese Have Brought Modern Weapons to Almost Perfect Pitch of Perfection—Many Proofs That Gunpowder Was Known to the Ancients. A striking feature of the present war in the far east is the predominance already attained by artillery in the hands of the Japanese. This promises to become even more noticeable as the campaign progresses, and the world is probably about to witness at the hands of these able exponents the highest pitch of efficiency to which the use of the artillery weapon has yet arrived. Nothing in the history of war is fraught with the same amount of interest as the evolution of the science of ballistics. The first primeval wight who discovered the possibility of communicating a ability to the flints at his feet, and perhaps playfully hurled one at his wife's maternal relative, little recked that his action was the prototype or protoplasm of the magazine rifle and the six-inch wire gun. One singular thing in relation to artillery is the extraordinary time it has taken to develop in power, as it is only in quite recent times that any noticeable advance has been made. Of late years, however, its progress has been remarkable, and has been accompanied by an equal improvement in the power of propulsion; for the old recipes for powder making, in which an equality of ingredients was enjoined, were, fortunately, as weak as the early artillery. It is quite probable that the inferior powder which is manufactured in Lhassa at the present time, and which was used against the British advance, is a preparation from one of the old recipes of the east, where its discovery and application to ballistics goes back to remotest antiquity. In fact, it is stated by some old writers that evidence exists to show that Alexander the Great was opposed by certain weapons of this kind in India. Philostratus in a work written 1,670 years ago, speaks of a people of India called Oxydracae whose cities Alexander could never take. For, while their besiegers advanced with warlike engines against the walls, they remained perfectly quiet until their enemy's near approach, when these were repulsed by storms of lightning and thunderbolts hurled upon them from above. Much evidence goes to show that gunpowder was known in both India and China from very early times, but that for a long period it was only used in the form of fireworks. It is undoubtedly one of those inventions that have been discovered by different men in as many different places. Vitruvius asserts that it was used by Archimedes in the defense of Syracuse, and declares that one of the great inventor's engines shot forth great bullets of stone with a terrible noise, which was neither the report of a catapult, the ballista nor any known engine. But if we except this less established instance, it is pretty certain that the first to use artillery in Europe were the English. John Barbour, archdeacon of Aberdeen, states that Edward III. used cannon in his first campaign in Scotland, in the year 1327, and there is good reason to believe that they were used again in Denver Professionals The Statesman takes pleasure in introducing the following colored professionals and recommends them as competent in their lines.

JONES' EARLY DEATH ASCRIBED TO CORRUPTION OF RUSSIAN NAVAL MEN. American Hero Who Shed Luster on the Warfare of the Revolution a Victim of the Corruption Existing Among the Bureaucracy. "It is not generally known, but is nevertheless a fact," said a naval officer, "that the rotten condition of the Russian navy was responsible for the death of John Paul Jones, the great American sea fighter. The article recently published in the Sunday Press describing the condition of the Russian navy to-day would, with a few variations, serve to describe the state of the Czar's fleets in the days of Jones. "After the Revolutionary war John Paul Jones entered the Russian service as an admiral and served for a time in the Black Sea fleet. The Black Sea fleet was then in the same demoralized condition that it is now, and because Jones tried to straighten things out the bureaucrats procured his recall to St. Petersburg. "The Empress Catherine ordered him to inspect the Baltic fleet. He found it in a shocking condition. Official corruption had wasted or stolen the money appropriated for it. The ships were, many of them, unseaworthy, and all were in a foul condition. There was neither discipline among the sailors nor knowledge among the officers. It was like the Baltic fleet to-day and probably like every other Baltic fleet that Russia ever had. Jones insisted in making a thorough personal inspection of the ships and by his reports as to the true condition of the fleet brought down upon himself the vengeance of the ministry of marine and all the high court officials of Russia. The ships had been frozen in all winter, and foul water and all sorts of offensive refuse had been allowed to collect in the bilges, where the mass had frozen. "It was spring when the admiral made his inspection, and the mass was beginning to thaw, giving out foul and pestilential stenches. Nevertheless he went into the bilges, where there was no arrangement for ventilation. He went thus through every ship, and when he had finished his inspection his lungs were so thoroughly poisoned by the vitiated air that he was taken down with a severe illness. He recovered from the attack, but his lungs were permanently affected and he never was a well man again. Though he lingered for nearly three years, he was dying by inches all the time, and finally his poisoned lungs gave out entirely and he dropped dead, at the age of 45, a victim of Russian naval mismanagement."—New York Press.

Delegates from various sections of the state will be present, This meeting is the result of the indefatigable work of Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson of Colorado Springs in urging the women of the state to make the taost of their opportunities by organization. The success which women have met with in their local organization has been conspicuous They have successfully organized for various purposes and it seems proba- ble that they will do as well in a larger way. In industry and econo- my, in morality and intellect the Ne- gro race is a debtor to its womenin a greater degree than any other race is. Tue Statesman wishes the proposed Federation success. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Negroes and Mining. (Continued from first page ) in good faith. Thatis‘what a Negro company of Denver business men of- fer to the public as a good and safe iuvestment in a gold and copper mine for a nice income at a time when it is probably most needed. I will now enter into the details of the last but not least. The Golden Ch st, Miniug Com- pany is situated in the great Sugar Loaf mining district at Sunset, Boul- der County, Colorado, For twenty years Boulder County has contribut- ed hundreds 0. thousands of dollars to the gold output of the world. Sun- set is one of the «ldest camps and regular producers. Here is located the mines of the Golden Chest Min- ing, Milling and Tunnel Company. The property is surrounded hy the noted miaes of the district, The Dol- ly Vardin, Lalla Khook, Free Coin- age, Silver Resumption, Poor Woman and many others. We own without encumbrance, 80 acres or 6 claims anda tunnel site, The property is equipped with a steam plant under the cover of a large enclosed shaft house, blacksmith shop, tools and drills to connect with steam, and in face, everything necessary to carry on mining. ‘The officers and direct- ors, well known business men of Den ver are: J. R. Lewis, President; Rev, J. E. Ford, Vice President; G. C. Sample, Secretary; A. S. Britton, Min ing Expert; H. Banks, Head Engi- neer for Lyner Mining Machinery Works; Dr. W. J. Cottrell, F. S. Voorse. The company is working on a vein that now runs $680 in gold and has rua in gold and copper $7487 per ton. The company has sold 50,000 shares of treasury stock and these shares have more than doubled in value to the shareholder and will continue to advance in price. Robt. Bradly made from $25,000 to $30,000 on leasing property in Clear Creek County. He is now located near Topeka where he has purchased a fine farm. Thomas Harris in Clear Creek brought down 14 sacks of ore a short time ago that netted him more than $600. John Morris of Idaho Springs, is in the ci- ty shosing some fine ore Edward Jackson, H. C, Radcliff, John Hallo- well, A. S. Britton, G. Conley are now miving. Fellow citizens, you can see that the numb-r of men of the race who are endeavoring to do something in the mining business is very limited. However, we have in our company shareholders that num- ber close to 100. In conclusion I wish to state that it requires monoy to mine but when you get down to the body of ore that the Golden Chest has and begin shipping, the money cones in rapidly. A happy surprise will soon cume to the shareholders of ‘the Golden Ches', Mining, Milling and Tunnel Co., and as I have said it is the only saivation for the Negro to get wealth. Dig the money from the earth yourself or invest in the Gold en Chest Mining Co. The Swellest In The West For two weeks the Pastime Social Club conducted at 1821 Arapahoe St. by Dick Frazier, bas been undergoing revovating It is now complete with the latest ful! glass floor cases filled with cigars, tobaccos and smokers’ ar ticles, a splendid mahogony bar, wall decorations of artistic pattern, a ‘newly floored entertainment hall and what means most tothe patrons, a corps of polite and competent servi- tors. The growth of this club has been little short of marvelous. Visi- tors to our city always inspect it and ‘remark that “It is so different.” Referred to Authority. CoagressmanCooper of Texau tells aboot a distinguised army efficersvke dn One Cecasion offered prayer hefore treginent. Ke summed up (ie exuses and objects or che war—the war with Mexico—and asserted thet it ws. no war of conquest, but annexation only, soncluding his supplication to the throne of grace with: “If refer you, re’ Tord, to Polk's message on this wbject.” Choice of Evils. (Continued from first page.) fore the spike at his caudal appendage begins to show. Rapidly and without cause, except as they say in the interest of peace, they are dismissing the men who risked their all as in the interest of prosperity and took the word of a parcel of sycophantic employees of labor that they should receive the treatment of men. “You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,” and fair warning is giv- en to those who have so willfully broken their promises, that if they reap the whirlwind it will be because they have sown the wind. Being of-an industrial turn the col- ored laborer naturally weleonies every opportunity that will allow him to earn au houest penny. Few men of any race will avail themselves so readily of the chance to work. They have looked upon the labor organiza- tions as their natural foe; and rightly. They have refused them membership in their ranksfand sought to ignore every plea for industrial equality, the divine right to earn bread by hon- orable toil, But when capital has al- so organized to fight labor and then breaks faith with those who would be its allies, there is no alternative but to chose the lesser evil. Alameda County, California, was thrown into a coniption fit recently upon a move to establish a separate school for the little brown people of the Orient, (the Japanese), The pa- pers were full of the matter; Ameri- can assimilation and what not, was fully discussed, literary and debating clubs in the schoois and universities made it their subjects. And why all this tamult.. Ido not think that for sometime to come they will be admit- ted to citizenship. But I do believe that any race thytinhabit these shores should be inoculated with American ideas, barring racial prejudices, through the medium of our public schools. If they are to dwell among us they should be taught a whole- some respect for our institutions, A fourteen year old Chinese girl carried off the honors in her school in Sait Lake recently. Speaking of schools, I was a very interested spectator at the school ex: ercises at Grant school in Ogdea re- cently, and T am more than pleased to say that the oaly two colored pu- pilsin the school, Vivian Campbell and Mae Preston, more than held their own, We have only one colored pupil in the High school, Miss Lela Campbell, and, will no doubt, in the next graduating class receive her re- ward for close application to study, To se+ our young folk with lofty am- bition is the one bright spot ia an otherwise dreary existence.

EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN: I have just returned from the Presiding Elders' Council, which met at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. We had a very pleasant meeting, and things in general looked hopeful. The Bishop asked the twelve Presiding Elders each to bring to the council $100.00, to build another story on Ward Hall. There were $500.00 brought with the guarantee that the remaining $700.00 would be in by the 15th of July. The Denver District led with $105.00, and next to that was the Fort Scott District, with $100.00. So I told them we are on Pike's Peak looking down on them all. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH.
