These rooms were opened to the public under

No Cinnamon Employed.
Mr.. Bull has had experience of IA years on

The walters are prompt and attentive.

At the Narrow Gaupes.

Superintendent A. Clark, of the
Marrow Gauge mines, wishes it under
stood that he has all the men at work
he has room for, and no more applica-
tions from miners are desired at pres
ent.
Mr.. Clark is working large force
OF men, and extracting 10 tons of ore
daily besides doing development work,
building houses, etc. The output of
ore will soon be largely increased.
Cliff & Mckay received orders from
the mine to-day for an iron draft fur
mace and $50 feet of pipe. Pipe is to
be set to the bottom of the present AS
foot shaft, and with the furnace in
operation on the surface the air circu-
lation will be complete.
A foot of clean, high grade galena
ore is now in the bottom of the shaft,
and is widening as depth is attained.
The present work is in No. shaft.

Smith & Wells have sent to Old
Virginia for 100 coons or darkeys,
who are working there at SIS per
month, and will receive $40 per month
on the grade. The wages paid are
1926 per day to laborers and $500 to
teamsters, but the men will not stay
and in view of the almost utter i'm
possibility Of keeping white labor it is
intended, if assertions continue, to
employ negroes and Cinnamon who
can be depended upon. The negroes
will soon arrive.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Mr.. and Mrs. MOrrelPs Little Daughter
POlsOns Herself.

Joseph Morrell's little daughte,
Nellie, aged II months, while playing
in the house yesterday afternoon found
a box of morphine pills-which by
some accident were in the room, and
swallowed most of the contents of the
box. As soon as the child gave EVIL
dence of being i'll, and it was learned
she had swallowed the pills, Doctor
Murray was sent for, but on arriving
found that the drug had been absorb
cd in the system and that the chance
for saving her life was very doubtful.
He remained with his patient from 81
30 o'clock in the afternoon until 1O:-
80 o'clock last night, when the little
girl died.
The morphia had taken effect an
hour before DR.. Murray arrived, and
though doctors may differ it was not
thought it was possible to save her
life. The community greatly sympa-
thize with Mr.. and Mrs. Morrell in
their sudden bereavement. The little
victim was buried at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.

TOO MODEST.

Our prospectors and smaller mine
owners are, IS are all miners gener-
ally, brim-f full of merit and modest in
proportion, but there are times when
they must come to the front. There
arc many occasions for such action,
and one we wish to refer to expressly
by request. 1t is that whereas good
wagon-road from the head of Deer
Creek to Haley is essentially neces-
sary, and whereas the mine-owners of
that section all desire such road to
be built, therefore it must be built,
and every man owning claim should
strive to be first to put up or go to
work at it. On Deer Creek there are
80 mines located, and although not
all developed into bonanzas, they as
sumedly will be. Among the mines
-rarated are those owned by two en-.
terprising Eastern companies who are
also anxious to have road built down
the Deer Creek grade to the stage road
that ore, supplies, machinery, etc.,
may be teamed in and out. These
live mining companies, though having
invested $4,000 and $4,000 respec.
lively, do not feel warranted in con.
structing the road themselves, as every.
body has an equal privilege of invest
ing, and it is hoped, therefore, that
the miners and mill-owners will meet
and act Immediately in the matter.

4 Wealthy Firm.

Carngan & Carlisle, who have Just
taken contract on the o. S. T.. for
10 miles of grading west of the Little
Wood River Junction, freight their
own supplies from kelton and
American Falls Their contracts
include the heavy rock cuts and grades
over King Hill and along Clover
Creek. This firm recently bought 200
head of cattle in one lot, and had
them slaughtered to supply their men
with beef, and will lay in supplies and
work all winter; their capital enables
them to construct 40 miles of road
before receiving pay from the CON-
pany.

Free Press: after having battled successfully
for its existence against the food, No. is men.
aced by a foe hardly less dangerous -subterrane-
an fire. As the water drains off the heaps OF
slack and sulphur stored in the gops OF old rooms,
the action OF the atmosphere on the moist refuse
produce heat which often results in active com.
bustion. This phenomenon can often be witness.
ed on the surface wherever the refuse Of mines
has been dumped. The methods of combattin z
this element differ according TO the position and
extent Of the FIRE. IL II is q small one, men are
sent into the burning room to scatter the lgnited
slack around and thus dislodge IT, This is terri
bly, trying labor, the insufferabe heat and pos-
onions gases are so enervatlng that strong man
cannot remain there more than three or four
minutes at q time Many OF the wOrkmen OF No.
are suffering from this cause now. Another
mode Is to cut the air of from the burning part,
thus preventing that union Of the atoms Of oxy-
gen and carbon that Is requisite to sustain com.
bustion This is the method now in use at No.
II, and to effect the complete isolation OF the
burning part about one. third Of the mine or
nearly all OF the late submerged portion has been
walled In until such time as the force OF the fire
is spent. This does not interfere at all with their
operations, as they have abundant space to pro.
duce their daily quota OF 900 tons without 1t.
The officers OF the shaft have no misgivngs for
the future, as they have full confidence in their
ability to ultimately control and subdue the
|cnemy.

of their respective districts to care for the Dis
trict of Columbia. II is true that congress
grants with liberal hand the money neces
sary for public buildings, as the department
edifces and the capitol show. But congress
IS not disposed to philanthropy without dis
play. Last summer, when Mrs. Garfield sick
ened and almost died from the poison eXhalec
from the Potomac swamps, and later whel
the stricken president had to be removed from
the malarious locality, the press OF the Uhiteo
States declared with one voice that congress
must do something with this monster NUS
ance. The capital of the United States is like
a besieged city; for years an insidious enemy
IN the form of belt Of malarious swamps has
been closing in upon Washington and sending
its poisoned shafts into the vitals of Its inhabi
tants. The citizens of the capital have been
for years going to congress pointing to this
mass of decaying vegetable matter and deposit
of filth visible from the windows OF the capt
tai Yet this fetid mass has been increasing
until it now consists Of hundreds of acres OF
disease creating swamp that is a disgrace to
the United States, crime against health and
humanity.
The American traveller who is compelled to
leave Rome during the summer on account OF
the malaria exhaed from the marshes, speak 8
with contempt OF the Italian government, and
says, if we but had Rome in the United States
we would drain these pcstilent swamps. Can
he be ignorant of the tact that the capital OF
his own country is environed by swamps as
destructive of health as those on the Tiber
Does he not know that the president, cabinet
congress, government clerks, and everybody
who can get away from Washington in the
summer, and that those who stay have their
blood blackened and slnews stiffened with
ague? The capital through the neglect OF
congress is getting bad name. Medical au
thority declares that if the swamps were
drained, nothing would be wanting to make
the national capital a model sanitarium.-
The draining OF these swamps, which will
cost no large sum, will enable healthful at
mOsphcre to circulate in the parks and wide
streets OF this city, which, IN peculiar way
is the city of every citizen ofthe United States
the city OF fifty millions Of people.
