A passenger riding continuously at
the rate of thirty miles per hour
might expect immunity from death
by railway accident for 58 years;
but an engineer or brakeman or a
conductor, under the same conditions,
is liable to a fatal accident at the ex-
piration of thirty.five years. The
most common accident to which
railway employees are liable results
from coupling and uncoupling cars.

The Denger SIM says that the
output of the mines of Colo
RADIO for 1891 has greatly ex-
ceeded that of any previous
year. The tonnage has been the
largest ever known and the grade has
perceptibly advanced. Silver has
averaged little more than five and
half cents an ounce less than the
price for 1890, while lead and cop
per have been a trihe lower also.
Notwithstanding this shrinkage the
gain overlast year has,been So, G67 600,
the total output being $33, 546,934.
Lcadville still maintains her position
as the leading silver producer Of the
state, and will yield 50 200, 900 more
for 1891 than in 1890. Many Of the
old mines have taken on new life,
and the explorations that have been
made into new and deeper strata
have revealed untold wealth of
unknown scope and depth. There
is now more ore in sight than ever
before in the history Of the Leadville
camp, differing in grade and charac-
ter from the output of the Chryso-
lite and the Pittsburg Of the earlier
days, and it is now found by deep
that the development of
many Of these mines hitherto has
been merely surface work compared
to the prospect which opens up con-
tinually as the miner sinks deeper
into the earth. In addition to these
facts, a number of new mines have
been opened which are yielding up
rich treasure, and Leadville is
richer and more promising mining
district to-day than in any period in
Is history. Aspen during the past
,welye months has more than main
aimed her place as the second min
sral producer in the state, and her
great increase for the year places her
close rival Of Lcadville. The IN

THE papers of New Orleans are
prophesying that their port will be-
come the greatest shipping port of
the country within the next ten years,
greater even than New York. They
say that the producers in the northern
states west of the Ohio river and in
the southern states west of the Ala
bama river have found out that they
can ship grain, cotton and pork to
Europe from New Orleans more
cheaply than from any other port.

WORLDS FAIR TICK ETs.
Nothing Decided Yet as to the Prices They
VIII Sell At.

Nothing Decided Yet as to the Prices They
Will Soil At.
The question of the price of Worlds fair
tickets has hardly been touched on yet. or
only considered in an informal way. by the
trunk line passenger agents who have re-
Gently been considering the subject. , The
subject will be taken up by the executive
committee of the trunk line association at
a special meeting to be called for the pur-
pose as soon as practicable. The first point
10 be decided is the character of the tickets
to be issued, whether they shall be round
trip or for one way only. The Erie and
Pennsylvania are earnest advocates for a
one way ticket at reduced rates, while the
Vanderbilt lines are just as determined In
their desiie for the round trip. Those who
favor the one way ticket contend that there
will be less danger of a disturbances of rates
and that this plan will offer greater
Inducements TO western and south
crn people to ~ to New York
or other places in the east. There are thou
the far western states who have close rela-
ton with the east. They will naturally
want to see their old homes and kindred
and will be much more apt to go further
east if they can buy single tickets at re-
ouced rates than ii they can only get round
trip tlckets competing tnem TO return W
the same route. The result of the round
trip ticket plan, its opponents claim, will
be that the s~calners will soon have liberal
supplies of the return coupons and demon
alization of rates will surely follow. As
Boon as the style of tickets have been de-
cided the price which they shall be sold
will be taken up. The suggestion that
eeems to have met with the most favor and
on which calculations have been made, ia
that the charge shall be one fare and one
third for the round trip. or half that
amount should the single ticket be adopted.

Have you bought your fall costume yet?
Have you decided on the material you in
tend using? If you have not, let us offer
some suggestions. In the first place de-
eide on something very different in color or
effect from the dress you have been wear
ing. You will feel better satisfied with
yourself than to wear the same color con-
tinually. If you want a correct cold
weather costume, select a heavy storm
serge, a heavy broadcloth, a winter chevron
or any of the many choice novelties shown
in heavy imported suitinRs. Have your
costume made tailor finish and use a trim
ming of fur or the less expensive md
equally handsome silk beaver or mink. If
you want a material that you can
wear the year round, select one
of the new wool bengalines, French
changeable bedfofds or bro
cades, French crepons, light weight storm
serges or a handsome silk and wool novelty.
For trimming you can use gimp, braid,
muscovite silk or Il chanReable novelty
silk. Ii you prefer a heavier trimming you
can use q feather or fur trimming and re-
move it in the spring. The charming

According to reports the Burlington rail-
road is slowly bus surely moving toward
Helena. Within the next thirty days the
road will have covered the distance be-
tween the Powder river and Sheridan in
Wyoming, opening to settlement q most
fertile valley. The road has been built
within thirty miles Of Sheridan, and the
railroad forces are actively pushing toward
the terminus of the system. Sheridan is
located at the base of the Big Horn noun
tains. From that point the road projects
In a northwesterly direction, crossing into
Montsna at the Little Big Horn river.
From there two routes are laid out, one by
way of Billings and the other bv way of
GreycIiffe, both passing through Castle
and White Sulphur Springs on the way to
Helena, Tn noar approach of the
season when work must cease
makes it almost certain that
nothing will DO done beyond Sheridan this
witness a revival of operations. The Bur-
lington managers are very reticsnt as to
their plans for the future; but one thing is
certain, and that is that the road would not
have been built into northern Wyoming
unless there was some more thickly popu-
lated country and some center of trade like
Helena in sight. The Powder River valley
ia n rich agricultural country, and now that
it is pierced by a railroad will no doubt fill
rapidly with settlers. Even the prospects
of building up a rich agricultural COM
munity, however, would not induce a big
railroad to build through such a long
stretch Of unproductive country unless
there was something else in sight. That
something else ia the live stock business OF
eastern Montana and the products OF the
mines in and around Castle and near
Helena.

The we'll known Bslvidere house, which
has long held a prominent place in public

property and assumed management. The
two gentlemen constituting the new firm
are well and favorably known to this city
as active. intelligent and progressive. To
in other business enterprises. and upon
them they confidently rely in the new ven
ture just undertaken. For the future their
entire energies will be devoted to develop
ing and extending the reputation of the
house, making it in every respect an ideal
for the accommodation of the
public. To this end this establishment
has been completely renovated from cellar
to attic and in many wavs improved. 1t
will be their purpose to satisfy every want
and supply every convenience that can in
any manner contribute to the pleasure or
convenience of their guests. Nothing is
more thoroughly appreciated by the t,av-
eler than a comfortable, w~ell-appointed
room, in which to recoup from the days of
fatigue. Successful hotel managers appre-
ciate this fact, so important to every public
house, and make eve y effort permitted by
their surroundings to attain this end. In
this respect the Belvidere house ia most

The tables ere excellent. Tidy spreads,
attractive cutlery and queensware are in
themselves appetizing. But when supple
mented with a generous bill of fare, the
eager appetite finds abundant satisfaction,
and even the unhappy dvspeptic call for
more" Substantial food, toothsome
dainties and the various luxurious viands
that vary with the passing seasons are pro-
yided in ample measure. which explains
why the dining room is especially popular
and always crowded. An expert chef, a
scientist in his art, holds undisputed sway
in the culinary department.. Equal to
all emergencies, and ambitious, he on
stantly achieves new triumphs and with
pardonable pride contemplates victories
freshly won.
II is the desire of the Arm to reach and
cater to tho wants of aslarge q constituency
as possible, and to accomplish this end the
rates are placed at a figure within the reach
of all.
One and two dollars a day are the prices
charged, which places this hostelry within
the reach of the general public. Strangers

A young gil stood bv the stile of a rude
fence that crossed a ridge of her distant
mountain home. The simple. plain ma
terial of her frook denoted iron fortune
and revere luck in the struggle with life;
still, from her comfy appearance and genteel
draping of the cloth of her modest dress,
one would infer TINT she was not an entire
novice in the art of modlstiosl work. The
suns rays.fashinR on the mountain stream
reflected a golden light on the rather bright
auburn locks that hung in graceful ringlets
to her waist. The small. white and shapely
hands gave no indication of mental labor;
while the round. white neck. in society
circles, would have pronounced her a de-
cided rival to Annie Laurie. A physiog-
nomist would have said that the rather
retrosen or celestial-shaped nose indicated
d~iscontsnt, while the violet color of the
eyes might have reversed his opinion and
led him to auggest ambition.
How can l be there?" she murmured.
Helena seems SO far away. Oh! If some
good genii would only appear and give me
its magical aid! Alas! Cinderella was only
a myth, so l must take a more practical
view of everyday affairs.

though addressing the rough pine boards
that composed the mountings of the stile.
