Inebriety Among Railroad Engineers.

AAOOAAOCJ AAAVA8 AS0AlOdu Guk lHtC13.
AS class, railroad engineers in
active service are exceptionally tenn
perate men. The daily performance
OF their duty requires a clear brain
and steady nerve, which is very soon
broken up by any use of alcohol.
The nerve tension to which they are
subjected in active work produces af-
ter time many and profound nerve
disorders. One of the hints of break
ing down in this class is excessive cav
ton and timidity Often men who
have had an accident and escaped
without any external injury will soon
exhibit signs Of mental shock, in what
is called loss of nerve, or childish eau
rtion. Their trains will always be
tate, they wiA ':slow down" and
-slacken speed from no reason except
some internal fears, and have to be
changed to other work. Insomnia and
dyspepsia are also common signs of
exhaustion. After the days run they
wal be unable to sleep or properly d.
gest food, and alcohol in seine form
viii be found to give relief. This will
sooE verge into inebriety, and the
uAA1AAuS VIII w O1Uuue1X 10 tE0 hours
after the work is over. During the
day <hey drink aotbing, except, per-
haps, beer, and that in great modera-
,tion; but when night comes they use
spirits.to excess again. After q time
:alch men will show marks of failure
in excessive caution or .recklessness.
and be very irregular in their manage
,ment of the engine. They will have
heated journals and broken engines
beyond the average experience.
These and many other indications
soon render them unfit for the work.
It is the opinion of a competent author
ity that an engineer who begins to
drink will be, as a rule. obliged to
give up work In two years from gen
erai incompeteney, although his use OF
spirits may be It home and largely
concealed, and what is called general
moderation. Afaet has recently come

INCENDIARIsM.

Desperate Escape Of a Man Caught
In the Flames.

An alarm Of fire was sounded At 3
o'clock this morning. The site of the fire
was the southeastern Of Eddy and
Eighteenth streets, opposite Charlton's
livery stable. The building is an old
wooden affnir and burned with rare
rapidity.
A reporter of The LEADER was one of
the first on the spot. Just as he arrived
an old man named Duguid staggered into
the middle ofthe street The man was clad
only in a short shirt, his hair. beard and
eye brows were burned of, and his hands
were also burned. Duguid was sleeping
in the place, and some idea Of the mar
Vicious rapidity with which the building
was enveloped in flames can be gathered
from the fact that although heslept neara
rear door he did not have time to save his
vest. which hung within a few feet Of his
bunk and which contained his watch and
money. He will bear the marks of the
fire for some time, but is not seriously IN
jured.
The fire companies arrived speedily, but
the entire building was a mass of flames
by the time the frststream was turned on.
The building was owned by II. B. KEEL
y and was not insured as the underwrit-
err would not take a risk upon it. II was
used BY William ]. Sharp as a carpenter
shop. The building and all the csntents
are a total loss, but at this writing the ex-
tent Of the loss cannot be even guessed
with anything like accuracy. 1t wa a
relic of the Black Hills excitement and
was used in 1876 by Smith Bros. who
conducted an Quitting business under
the name of the 'Black Hills Quitting
Depot"
The adjoining building on the south is
occupied by James KerTigan as a harness
shop. It was practically ruined and its
contents were injured by fire and water.
The fire was undoubtedly an incendiary
one Mr.. Duguid states there has been
no fire in the building for several days
and that there was no possible way for the
blaze 10 start except by incendiarism. The
flames we're first noticed in the north wall
and ran to the roofin a way suggesting
that coal oil was used, although it is pos
sible that the ahavings on the floor served
the purpose of the incendiary without the
use OF any other iniammable material.

Mr.. j. X. DeLamar this week bought
a one-third interest in the Spruce Bend
groupe Of gold mines, located about
three miles west Of Caster, near Camp
Washington, consisting of three claims
and water right, for $4,000, and had
deed placed in escrow for the remaining
two thirds for $4,000, time 80 days. The
writer of this takes pleasure in announc-
ing the event, as having p%rospected the
ore attentively. we are able to say it is
rich, very rich in gold, for this reason
we are glad to have been instrumental
in calling the gentleman's attention TO
the property, belonging to Mr.. Myron
McSherer of this place.
Mr.. DeI.amar is practically familiar
with mining and milling, and by carry
ing system into all his affairs he has
been very successful. He seems to be
withall a business man Of untiring en-
ergy and brooks no nensense in business
affairs, being connected and backed by
good and able firms in the east, we be-
lieve he will make money here and
help bring our rich, though undeyelop-
ed district, to the front rank where
it belongs. We need "a few more such
men,

For several years past the mining in
terest has been at a low ebb and FROM
all the information we can gather this
statement will apply in a general way
to all the mining districts in all states
and territories. The reason for this
arises not from any n cause but many.
First, the swindles that have been
perpetrated BY unprincipled operators
and stock jobbers, and secondly mis-
management of SO many Of the largest
and most promising enterprises, which
have been conducted with 80 much ex-
t%ravagance and such an utter lack Of
mining intelligence that nothing but
defeat and failure could possibly insure.
But for some time now we have noticed
with pleasure a gratifying change in
this respect. 4 great many capitalists
who a few years ago so willingly put
their money into mining enterprises
that failed, retired from the field i'm dis
gust, swearing they would never put
another cent into mines, are again tax
ing active hold aud investing their
money in mines. This has been brought
about Gin part by the continued work.
ing and steady dividends that have
constantly flowed from the comparative
iy few successful companies who have
carried on mining on business princi-
Piles.
Notably among those are several OF
the mining enterprises Of the Black
Hills, whose stock has steadily advanced
while the many high. flying organiza-
tons in Colorado, Arizona, and other
mining sections have correspondingly
declined. This has given rise to 4 call
from the money centres Of the east and
in Europe for investments in what is
known as legitimate mining. This is as
IL should be and we are glad that the
moneyed men of the east are becoming
educated up to a point in mining mat
tiers that they can discriminate and
realize the difference between an enter
prise founded on false representation,
a few specimens and a good deal of
ignorance, and an enterprise based on
large continuous veins Of ore (even
though Of low grade) when mixed with
common sense and business honesty.
