WHAT IT COST.
Leadville's Strike Expense is RUNNING
Into the Millions.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 20.-The annual
report of State Land Commissioner
klett was today placed in the hands OF
the governor. BY far the most inter-
esting portion of the document is that
relating to the Leadville strike. The
commissioner estimates the direct loss
as the result of the strike to be ST.
299 ,80S. In addition the miners have
lost in wages $1,043 ,3OS. In concluding
this subject he says: This does not
include the loss to the business inter-
ests Of the city and state nor the loss
to owners and employees of smelters.
which were compelled to close down
on account of the strike. nor does it in
clude the loss to wood-choppers and
other laborers not directly employed in
mining, but who found their employ
ment gone by reason of the closing of
the mines and smelters. The loss to
the railroads has also been very heavy,
but has not been computed above. TAX
ing all these matters into c~onsidera-
ton, it is not an exaggerated estimate
to say "a the total loss to all interests
In h state has not been less thar So
100000. AS against this appalling loss
we have a possible gain of so cents per
day in wages to Cos men, amounting to
$125 1928 per year"

LEFT LEG BADLY SHATTERED
WHILE SWITCHING AT

and DR.. Taylor Looks Upon Re-
covery as a Matter of Doubt.

While train second 81 was doing
some switching at Allan junction Sun,
day morning, at 9:45 o'clock, Brake,
man Thomas Hassett of Conducto-
Moss crew discovered that a pin was
necessary to make a coupling. Secur-
ing the pin from the tank of the engine.
Mr.. Hassett returned to the car where
it was needed. The train was moving
slowly and the brakeman p,rt his foot
upon the b~rakebeam. His footing was
non secure and he fell to the track. his
left leg striking the rail in a some
what cramped position. The wheel
caught his leg at the ankle and ran up
ward across the calf, breaking the bone
of his leg and mangling the flesh in a
terrible manner The unfortunate man
was placed in the caboose and taken to
Carbon without delay. where the
wounds were dressed. Mr.. Hassatt was
then brought to Laramie on a specia,,
where he was Joined by Mrs. HaSsett
and Immediately left for the Denver
hospital.
The special remained at Laramie a
little owe al hour. DR.. H. l.. Stevens.
and Conductors John Marks and Dolph
Wolcott accompanied the injured man
to the hospital.
The run from here to Denver was
made in five hours and Is minutes.
Upon arriving in Denver. Mr.. Has
sett was taken at once to St. Joseph's
hospital and it was decided that ampu-
tation was necessary. The leg was at
once removed, being taken off just
above the knee, by Drs. Lemen and
Taylor. At an early hour this morn,
Ing DR.. Taylor reported that the injur-
ed man had regained consciousness and
was rational. but that he had suffered
a severe shock and that his recovery
was doubtful.
DR.. Stevens returned from Denver on
No. 3 and is inclined to take-a more
hopeful view of Mr.. Hassett's condi-
ton than that entertained by DR.. Tay,

RAGGED TOP.
A Tenderfoot Proves That Gold is
Where You Fine 1t.

Ragged Top, the mining camp in the
Black Hills. is the sole attraction these
days. and a little history anent its
discovery will not be amiss. We can,
not vouch for it, but the story runs:
One day last spring a mar approached
several miners at work on a claim
near Portland. at Bald mountain and
said, Il am out Of work, do you know
where l could find employment" He
was informed that work was scarce,
and that they had no idea where he
could find employment. He then asked
them where vas a good place to pros
pect. that he was not a miner and knew
nothing about such work. They point.
ed to a large ledge of limestone about
n mile and a half south and said there
was a good place. He thanked them,
and proceeded to the ground pointed
out. He selected numerous samples
of rock firm the ridge. took them to
Deadwood to have them ~assayed, and
the next day the assayer was the most
surprised man in Deadwood. He found
some of the rock gave returns of $50
gold per ton, another assay gave $3.50
gold per ton. The tenderfoot didn't
say a word. but located the whole
country and began shipping boulders
from the top of the ground which have
made him independently rich since the
day the miners had a laugh at the suck
er.-Sundance Gazette.

Judge Fitch concluded that the evi,
dence against George Byers Saturday
afternoon was sufficiently strong to
hold him to the district court. He is
charged with the burglary Of the Leh-
man store on Wednesday night. His
bond was fixed at 5000. in default Of
which he was committed to Jail.
The Republican is informed that the

necessary to see just what the volume

curately stated which is the lowest.
Awards for the other state printing
have been made in accordance with the
statement made by The Republican
last week.
The masquerade given by the North
Star society Saturday evening was
quite largely attended and was a very
enjoyable aair. There were compare
lively few who were inclined to enjoy
the pleasure of concealing their identi-
ty behind a mask, but the party as a

A superb supper was served in the BAN
quet hall at midnight. Mrs. DeForest
and Prof. Niethe furnished the music
and Mr.. P. C. Rauner guided the move
ments of the dancers.
The Carbon County Journal says:
Wv. H. Hunter came down Monday
from North park to visit his brother,
Lemuel Hunter, who is in Jail on a
charge of forgery. Lemuel is a very
sick a If not removed to some
more suitable place, where medical at
tendance can be given him. he is liable
to change from a prisoner t o a corpse.
An effort has been made to allow him
to go to the hospital on his own recog-
nizance, but somehow has failed. While
justice is demanded in Furnishing GRIM
inals, Hunters case seems to be one
deserving Of charity on account Of his
pitiable condition.

GUS to be out on the prairies without
being armed. A few days g John
S%choonjans OF Pass Creek started to 20
to Medicine Bow, 40 miles away. He
was on horseback, and, while passing
through a deep ravine where the snow
was particularly deed, three large gray
wolves came down from the timber and
attacked Mr.. schoonjans. He raj un-
armed and had a narrow escape. He
put spurs to his horse. and, after an ex-
citing chase, succeeded in eluding the
ferocious brTtes. A movement is on
foot among the ranchmen to Join
hands and devotes two days OF each
week to the work of exterminating the

CATHEDRAL CEREMONIES.
Dean Mallett Installed-Revs. Dodshon
and Wilson Ordained.

A large congregation assembled at
St. Matthews cathedral Sunday morn
ing to witness the formal installation
of Dean Mallett. The services were
beautiful and impressive. Bishop Tai
bot preached the sermon and the dean
celebrated the holy eucharist.
The first ordinations to the holy
ministry in the new cathedral
Of St. Matthews took place this morn
ing, when Mr.. Joseph Henry Dodshon
lately lay reader at Douglas, Wyo., was
admitted to the sacred order Of deacons
and the Rev. VIM. Wilson of Casper,
Wyo., was advanced to the priesthood.
The Rev. Jos. H. Dodshon has had
charge OF Douglas and Lusk during the
past year, and in each Of these places
he has done an effective work and has
succeeded in building up a strong in
terest in church matters. The Rev. W.
Wilson has had charge of Casper for
three years, where his Cody life has
won him the respect Of the community.
Each'cf these gentlemen return to their
respective spheres Of labor on the mid
night train. 1t is to be regretted that
there was not a larger attendance at
this very interesting and solemn ser,
vice. The ordination sermon was
preached by Archdeacon Johnston,
who, together with Rev. Canon Smith,
presented the candidates to the bishop.
The. Very Rev. Dean MalIett and the
Rev. Mr.. Stoddard Of Rock Springs al
so took part in the aeryiceS.
