Daily Routine on the London Journals,

Soon after six in the evening the sub
editors arrive, and begin work on the
piles of manuscript and printed matter
which await them there. The printer
is pressing them for copy" for his
hands are waiting; but they must pro-
coed cautiously, or they will choke space
which will be sorely wanted later on.
Now the reporters in Parliament and
out of doors begin to send up their first
manuscripts, and if these and those re-
ports to which there is no option, do
not suffice to keep the printers going, a
column or two of literary reviews may
be given to them, since these last, If
found in excess when the paper is made
up, can be held over.
By ten the editor and his assistants
will be at their posts, and now q serious
consultation is held, for the topics of
the principal leaders must be decided
on without delay. Such a choice has
been deferred until the last possible
moment, for good reason. Had it been
made before, all the data which foreign
and domestic kilograms, private notes
from ..whips," confidential intimations
from political friends and the explora-
tions of trusted social agents could yield,
had been realized, it might be liable to
reversal when all the arrangements
based on it were in operation. AS it is,
the late delivery of a Blue book, the
publication of an Extraordinary Gazette,
or a telegram announcing that a favor
tie regiment has lost heavily in South
Africa, will upset the operations of the
editor room just when such disturbance
is most incoRvenient. Sometimes those
operations must commence before all
the material necessary for them is at
hand. An eminent statesman is speak
ing at Edinburgh, Liverpool or Man
chaster, and in London his speech is be-
ing delivered by the telegraph boys in
instalments.
In such a case the leader-writer will
be busy on the earlier part of the speech
while the orator is constructing his
later sentences. By 1915 o'clock the
Underwriters will have addressed them
selves to their tasks, and before they
have nearly finished their articles, the
earliestparagraphs will have been hand
ed to them in proof for correction. BY
about eleven the chief printer makes his
appearance in the editors room with
his statement" a schedule of the titles
and length in columns of the articles he
has received, showing the foreseen re-
suit that the paper is o~vercrowded.
Proofs are now coming down very fast,
and must be dealt with rapidly and re-
turned. By half-past twelve the fourth
page, that which is at a readers left
hand when he opens the paper out,
must be closed up, locked in the iron
frame, and sent to be stereotyped. The
fifth page is the second to be sent to
the foundry, and the inner pages are
kept open longest. By about two the
last paragraph is dropped into the last
open column, and such as it had been
made, with its merits and defects, the
mornings paper must go before the
world.-L0ndOn Leisure Hour.

A Second Leadyille.

MI. Joseph Mulhall, just returned
from Colorado, speaks of a new mining
camp just opened, which, in spite of all
obstacles, is bound to become another
Lcadville in point of growth and noto-
riety. 1t is the town Of Carbonate, stu
;ated in Garfield County, Colorado, in
the midst of the Ute reservation, which
was opened up to the whites for settle
ment and occupation only last year.
The new city, now scarcely known to
the outside world, was laid out on the
9th day of last month, and now contains
three or four cabins, the domiciles of
four or five men who have been at work
all winter. It is said to contain a pure
lead Of carbonates without walls on
either side, and running from so to 582
ounces of silver, with 50 to AZ per cent
OF lead to the ton. The snow in that
region is now from four to ten feet deep
Tor eighteen miles in all directions, and
the only way to get to the new Ell Do
rado is on s~now-shoes, and blankets and
provisions have to be carried over the
crust in this way. And yet since the
opening of the mines one thousand peo-
pie have been waiting to 60 there, and
already 347 lots have been sold at from
10Y to $3.50 apiece cash.
Mr.. Mulhall, with Mr.. John Songer,
OF Denver, went to within eighteen
miles of the spot, being stopped by the
snow at the Soda Springs, or Roaring
Fork, where are the finest hot springs
IN the world. They found some twenty
nve people already located about the
springs, where they had erected bath
lnss-tents, showing the incipient stages
VI a great watering-place-yet to be
pulled into notice-for the benefit OF
suffering invalids. MI. Songer provided
himself with snow-shoes-a1 long, slender
snoe, not as wide as that in use by the
canadians and Indians of the East in
ene early days-with which he started
over the snow-crust for Carbonate
camp, but Mr.. Mulhal would not &C
company him with this cumbrous means
VI locomotion. To people not used to
s naos their weight and nnwieldi-
ness, requiring a straddle of the legs.
you'd soon produce fatigue and an in
hhplllty to proceed, and the wearer would
STeak down under the encumbrance.
Slr; Mulhall staid eight days at the
oooa Springs, and will return there in
snort time, when the trails will be
opened through the snow.
