THE CAVE WONDER.

The big cave that was opened in
to at Empire City short time ago
is still the wonder of the camp.
The ore bed dips very rapidly to
the east and is no doubt the same
body that has been encountered in
the pump shaft about " feet to the
cast. The ore in the cave lies at a
depth of 81 feet and pitches down
to a depth of l03 feet where it is
found in the pump shaft. The ore
in the cave has been penetrated TO a
depth of 81 feet and there is jack in
the bottom of the shaft. 1t is the
intention of the company to cut
drift from the pump shaft to the
cave for the purpose of purifying
the air, which is at present too
foul in the cave to admit of work

TIMELY INFORMATION.

At the spring election to be held
in April in all cities of the second
and third classes, a mayor, street
commissioner and city marshal will
have to be elected. The city attor-
ney will continue TO be appointed.
This is in accordance with the bill
which passed the Legislature and
which will become law today. 1t
will be published in the official pa
per. This is the bill over which
there was some contention as to it's
legality. Attorney General Boyle
yesterday gave as his opinion that
the bill was perfectly legal, except
the part relating to the city attor-
ney. With this opinion, the secrc-
tary OF state will have the bill pub.
lished today.
The bill was introduced in the
house and passed that body. Orig
inally ii provided that the city at.
torney, clerk, street commissioner
and marshal should be elected.
The senate amended the bill by
striking out attorney. The bill was
sent back to the house and there en-
rolled. When it was enrolled the
word attorney was left in the title,
but no reference was made to the
attorney in the body of the bill.
The question arose a. to the legali-
~ of the measure since it provided
in the title what did not appear in
the body.
Attorney General Boyle said on
Thursday: al think the bill is all
right, with the exception of the par,
relating 10 the attorney and it will
not affect that officer" - Topeka

Twenty years ago Col. Weldy OF

column of Baxter items each week

one of his items: "Some time since
we received a letter from our BROTH
er in Ohio stating that in few
days he would send US 'Helen's Ba-
bies.' In less than second we had
thought of all our old Ohio sweet
hearts, but could recall none named
Helen. We tolegraphed immedi-
ately, telling him there must be
some error; that there was another
Weldy living west of the Rocky
mountains and that he would better
send them there. But he insisted
he was right, and we we're in a
peck of trouble until we received
a book by mail, and turning TO the
title page discovered that Helene
Babies was-not what we feared"
