Denver, Coloi, Nov. 15. What is
Bending silver sweeping skyward?
That Is what Colorado miners and
Denver ore buyers would like to know.
'. Bar, silver in New York today
reached 63 cents an ounce, its high
est price, with one exception, since
January 21, 1901. It touched the same
mark last Tuesday.
May. Resume Silver Coinage
Ore buyers believe that some for
eign government, is buying up all the
silver it can. All signs point to Eng
land. It is asserted in circles which
are well 'posted that the British gov
ernment is about to resume the coin
age of silver in India. Moreover, there
has lately arisen a wide craze for
Bolld silver table services abroad. In
deed, the Britons have harked back
to the days of the grandfathers when
no noble's table was complete without
Its array of family plate.
It is said by many that the in
creased production of gold has much
to do with the advance in price, de
spite governmental discriminations
against silver.
The price of silver has been steadily
rising for the last two months. By

you cannot lie on left side; if
you have fainting or smother

has crawled slowly up. Until now the
cause has been somewhat or a mys
tery. though silver brokers were sat
isfled that the large purchases of
some foreign power were forcing up
the quotations.
Miners Are Happy
-More money is in sight for Colorado
miners too, in their returns from
lead. It is asserted tnat. within a few
days the American Smelting and Re
fining company is to rearrange its
lead schedules in such a manner, that
the profits wlll .be greater to the pro
ducer..,";
For six months the ore buyers and
miners have been contending with the
smelting trust for a reduction of rates.
There is none too much profit in the
production of the metal, at present
prices they say. The smelter trust
pays $3.50 for lead in Denver. In New
York it brings $4.50. The miners and
buyers believe that the margin of
profit is large enough to give them
some share in it.
Recently pig lead has been advanc
ing almost steadily in New York. To
the layman it would appear that an
advance at the Atlantic seaboard
would result in a corresponding im
provement in price m Denver. But
such is not the case, say the ore
buyers. Lead is the same old price
here as it was several months ago.
Trust Official Makes Denial
Franklin Guiterman, general man
ager of the American Smelting and
Refining company, this morning de
nied that any rearrangement of lead
schedules was under way. He said
that the trust was still paying the
same price as formerly. Smelting
charges, he said, had been scaled
from time to time, but he. did not
say that any further reduction was
contemplated.
The Chamberlain-Dillingham Ore
company and the Bogue Lead company
have not been advised of any reduc
tion though they would not be sur
prised should one come. They, to
gether with other buyers, have labored
long with the smelter trust to secure
a better price for pig lead.
So with silver advancing day by
day and a reduction of the lead
schedules in sight it appears that
Colorado's mining industry is in a
fair way to receive an impetus for
ward. . ,

DREAMING OF HOME
It comes to me often m silence, '
When the firelight sputters low
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of long ago;
Always with a. throb, of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of the faces cold and strange;
I know where there's warmth and
welcome, -
And my yearning faneies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain;
But there'll be Joy in the coming
When I go home again.
When I go home again! There's music
That may never die away,
And it seems the hands of angels
On a mystic harp at play
Have touched with a yearning sadness
On a beautiful broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording
When I go home again. '
Outside of my darkened window
Is the great world's crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
Sobbing the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But I dream of the glorious greeting
When I go home again.

FAILURE
.The Great Financier sat in his sump
tuous office and thought earnestly.
"My life has been a great success.
I have secured everything that the
heart of man coula desire, money,
fame, power everything."
"But you have not secured me,"
whispered a something from out the
surrounding silence.
"What are you?" queried the Great
Financier.
"I am Love."
"But I have secured control of the
money of the country. I have se
cured control of the coal mines of
the country. I control the grain mar
kets, the railroads, the mills and the
factories." :
"But you do not control me," said
a chilling voice from out of the sur
rounding silence.
"What is it that I do not control?"
queried the Great Financier.
"I am Death."
And when they found the Great
Financier in the morning thev found
him captive Instead of cmor. Will
