DEATH DUE TO GREED.
Colorado Miners Drown Like Rats

Colorado Miners Drown Like Rats
I'm a Trap.
Thirteen miners in the Sleepy Hollow
mine, Central City, Colo, were working
Thursday afternoon In the drifts, when
suddenly torrent Of water came stream
ing down the shaft, and, sweeping debris
before it, choked up the entries and pas
sageways, intombing the workmen. Two
Italians working above were caught in
the mighty rush of the flood, and, they,
too were sacrificed. The season has been
unprecedented in the amount of rainfall.
The hills have been soaked to repletion,
and the giant pumps of the big mines
have had difficult task to perform in
beating down the waters. The disaster
Is due solely to greed of the operators.
The danger was not unforeseen, but the
mine is in litigation, and the operators
would not spend money enough to prop
erly equip the eplant with pumping 'ap-

Danger in Raising but One Staple.


The recent trip of inspection of the ag-
ricultural stations in the West and
Northwest, undertaken with view to
systematic methods and secure more
hearty cooperation with the department.,
is discussed in review by DIR. A. G.
True, the director of the experiment sta
tons Office. He says: 1.-THE low prices
prevailing during the last year or two,
combined with the drought and other
causes that have reduced the yield, have
led farmers in most of the region for the
first time to appreciate the necessity of
more diversified agriculture instead of
depending almost exclusively on the great
staple crops like wheat. The statious
have been making experiments with va
rious crops, which have shown what can
be best grown in different localities.
Throughout the West and Northwest ir-
rigation problems are attracting increas-
ed attention among farmers and the Gov
eminent stations are making extended ir-
rigation inquiries. There are many ques
tons relating to the effect of irrigation on
the soil and crops that remain to be
solved, and some do not secure as much
consideration as they deserve. Among
these is the matter of using large quanti-
ties of water containing alkali salts
where continued practice is very likely
to seriously injure the vegetation"

Trial of q New Churn.

A trial OF new churn STYLED Har-
vey's Patent Digestive Churn was
made at Messrs. Denham Brothers
Creamery, Sussex street, yesterday
morning, under the supervision OF
Mr.. Thomas Gibson, and in the pres
ence Of number OF gentlemen in
terested in the butter trade. The
patentee and inventor is Mr.. +. Har-
vey, of Crookwell. The churn is
made on the box principle, and is a
great improvement on the old style.
Instead Of the spindles being fixed
to the centres OF the ends they work
from two OF the corners. This gives
the cream two MISREPRESENTATION
with the churp, and a constant rush
ing from corner to corner. No dash
ers are introduced, but in their place
small ribs are affixed to the sides.
Mr.. Harvey conceived the idea OF his
churn from the motion OF milk in a
calls stomach during digestion, and
also the ribs on the lining of the
stomach. The result of the trial
was very successful, butter OF the
primest in texture and grain being
turned out in Is minutes, which,
however, was hardly fair test, as
two stoppages were made. The but
ter was also free from buttermilk af-
ter one washing. 1t is claimed for
this churn that it takes absolutely
all the butter fat from the cream,
and further trial will be made this
morning in order that the butter
milk may be tested with Babcock
tester.-Sydaey Telegraph.

BOARD OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
The Building of a City Prison Discussed and Plans and Specifications
 Ordered Drawn

An important meeting of the Board of Public Affairs was held at the Mayors office Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, all members present and Mayor Goldsmith presiding.
 Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved.
 The report of the Secretary and Treasurer of the Board was read, and it showed that $264.2G yet re- mained in his hands subject to the order of the Board.
 Accounts against the Board to the amount of $96.50 were allowed and ordered paid.
 Sealed bids for constructing cul- verts, one each, over ditches at inter- section of Third and Pine, Third and State and Third and Chestnut streels, were opened in the presence of the Board and the bids were found to be as follows:
 G..N. NortOn.................. .000 w. M. McGehee.. ee........................ 750 T. S. ,............................. 46S None of the bids were accepted on account of the law suit now pending against the Commissioners of Paw ing District No. [, to enjoin the city from contracting obligations against property in that district. A motion was made to accept the bid of Mir. Smith, as his was the lowest one, and in case the Board decides to have the culyerts put in he will probably be given the contract.
 On motion the City Engineer was instructed to prepare plans and spe- cificationsfor the erection of a new city prison and submit them to the Board for approval, and the Secre- tary was also ordered to advertise for bids for the building of the prison.
 On motion the Board adjourned.
