The latest book issued in the Long.
mans English Clsssics- series is The
Rhine Of the Ancient Mariner" edited
With notes and an introduction by Herb
ert Bates. A. r. instructor 10 English in
the University OF Nebraska.
The introduction contains q Ii g OF
Coleridge. with an account OF the origin
of the poem. it's form. purpose and
method Of study. besides page or two
concerning poetry in general and the
place given the Ancient Mariner" by
famous critics, a photography and
suggestions to students. The chrome
logical table presents Coleridgeis life
works, and contemporary English and
American writers comprehensiyeiy aud
clearly. The forty pages is the work Of
careful scholarship and appreciation.
Mr.. Bates sympathies have aided him
to analyse the poem without destroying
it, effect n poetry. The footnotes on
every page in the form Of questions
make Of the reader discoverer instead
Of . jostled traveller on the highway.
Thus the poem is rs new as first edi-
ton. The questions reveal the depth Of
poetic meaning in words and phrases
previously overlooked.

Even when the reader does not accept
Mr.. Bates reading as in this case where

The footnotes are welcome interpre-
tations Of lines which heretofore have
been imperfectly understood. They
show knowledge OF English poetry
that justifies the selection of Mr. Bates

OF perhaps the most important long
poem in the English language.

looked in that locality. The assortment

There va. some excitement last week
when the news came from Ouray that
the Bachelor vein had been cat through
the Khediye tunnel. The tunnel was
commenced about one year ago and run
by the Bachelor company over 500 feet.
They now have the vein; they do not
know bow much they have Of it, as they
have not gone through it yet, but have
about ten inches Of steel galsna which
runs 800 ounce. silver. They also went
through strata OF white quartz, which
is strongly impregnatci with native sill

large body they have. This proves
that it is a true fissure as they cut it 2iO

1t will be remembered by THE In
DEPENDENT readers that the Board OF
Trade sent committee to Denver TO see
the Rio Grande Express Co. in regard TO
restoring the old rate on fruit from this
point. The express officials refused to
do anything. but the freight department
said they were willing to do what was
right in the matter; the express officials
were notified of the committees visit and
demands, but for some reason or other
no action was taken until last week when
the agent at this place was notified that
the rate would be reduced from sl.25 to
slO0 per hundred pounds. The cause of
the reduction is not generally known. but
the orchardis,s understand it all right.
Tho following postal card received by
John NJ. Trew from one OF the largest
fruit shippers in the county gives the
key to the problem;
Hotchkiss. Colo. Aug. S. 1896.
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of the i;h
inst will say have large crop OF fruit
this year and find big demand for it
am receiving letters every day and there
is not enough in the country to supply
the demand. l have four teams hauling
it direct from the orchard to the mount

day or two. The express rates are so
high l cannot ship with any profit. l
find get more out of il by hauling-at

started and it will take all have to
supply the demand,
Yours Respectfully,

There is no question but that the ex-
press company has been too slow in tax
ing action in this matter brought up by
the Board OF Trade early in the season.
consequently they will lose about three
fourths Of the shipments Of fruit which
under fair rates they would have receiv-

A Gigantic Ditch Schsme.

Mat. Arch was in Denver few days
ago and while there he presented a
gigantic ditch scheme to some parties
with capital for Investment. and. no
doubt, at an early day STEPS will be taken
TO bring the matter to a successful start.
The idea. while tremendous under
taking according to Mr.. Arch's state
ment. can be successfully carried out
and bring under cultivation immense
tracts OF land on the mssas which are
now practically worthless and there is
no doubt but what it will be done some
day. But just at this time when the
nation is so wrapped up in politics it ia
hard to attract people with capt. al to
any investment.
Thi $ ditch is to run from the "Black
Canon OF the Gunnison" above Moutruse.
The canon will be damei to secure a

the whole country, including Montrose.
