Days Dawn In Crystal.

If one would see the sunrise charm
One must awake in the Silly hour,
Before the cocks morning alarm
Disturbs the calm of Morpheus power
Old Sol long lights the prairie plain
Ere on Crystal falls morning light
Tinting the tow'ring mountain main
While in wales linger shades of night.
Then are touched warm emotions,
As, on Whitehouse snow -hecked crest
Fall pillows, as from an ocean,
OF days light from ont natures breast
Down DER forests flood of light
Sweeps the low hanging clouds away
And mists dispelled by rays bright
Are lost to view and it is day

The Secretary of State.

We regret to note the attitude of some
of our contemporaries regarding the acts
Of the Uninted Slater Secretary of State
through which he has aroused the ire of
Great Britain.
The Associated Press retains at Wash
ington the best news editors it can find,
and as great news organization is not
given to prejudice or partisanship. This
agency tells the world that the head of
the United States Cabinet is in his
dotage.
II as a result OF the impaired condition
OF John Sherman's mind he who was for
nearly three decades a leader Of the great
national party in Congress, has been
guilty Of a violation Of the ethics of di-
plomacy and thus gained the ire of
British statesmen we cannot conceive
how a patriotic citizen can be moved by
any other emotion than regret that our
country through any political necessity
should suffer the humiliation of having
at the head Of the diplomatic branch, a
man whose intellect is clouded.
Too many American journslists believe
the displeasure Of England should be
cOurted in all matters at all times, on the
same principle of the delegate to a state
convention a few years ago, who. upon
entering the hall somewhat late, found
q measure being warmly debated; jump
ing upon a chair he shouted IF Waite is
against it l am for it,"
There are times and topics that lead
newspaper men to allow prejudice rather
than intelligence to direct their pen. If
this government has offered England
uncalled for ofense then an apology is
due.

AMONG THE MINES.
Float Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes From the Hany Mines.


A patent survey of the Diadema, on
Sheep Mountain was mnde this week.
1t is reported that some good strikes
have been made in the south part of the
county near the Saguache line.
There has not been so much activity
in the vicinity of Scofeld, Stringtown
and Elko for five years as at present.
C. s. Attix is taking out nice ore and
good deal of it from his mine near Elko
on which good strike was reported last
week.
The ore whicn VIM. Boucher has been
shipping is from the Youngville, on tie
east side of Treasure Mountain. 1t was
good ore.
From over on Yule Creek, east of
Whitehouse, come reports of promising
prospects. That section has not been
prospected to any extent.
Frank Dempke was down from White
house Tuesday and reports work pro
crossing rapidly on numerous mines up
there and some shipping.
Squire Burke's State of Nevada mine
on the north side of Sheep Mountain is
said to be the prettiest mine in this sec
ton, from an engineering standpoint.
VIM. Boucher has a pile of good ore on
the dump at the Last Chance to which
more is being added daily. He has not
yet made shipment from this mine.
Chicago capitalists are figuring on the
erection of smelter in Galena park
above Scofield and have had an expert
examining the district and securing
samples of the ores.
Tuesday the Inez closed down, pend
ing settlement of the financial question.
The management did not feel justified in
continuing operations under the present
condition of the silver market.
In the Belle of Titusville the mineral
is widening as the shaft goes deeper.
The ore is now found in vein of pink
spar. Considerable water is coming in
which is being handled by the new
pump.
DR.. Evans and nephew, N. Evans are
doing assessment work on the Gay"
Sheep Mountain prospect on the contact
below and east of the Black Queen. 1t
is owned by Mrs. G. E. FROM of Grand
Junction.
The Jack trains from the Lead King
continue with the regularity of a clock
carrying about seven tons of ore down
the canon every morning. This output
could be doubled if the management de
sire, the mineral in the drift at the fifty
foot level having widened considerable.
The Scofield concentrating mill has
begun running day and night, and the
proprietors, Straub & Bell. desire to run
at its full capacity Of fifteen tons a day.
Nearly thousand tons of the ore on the
dump at the Leadville has been bought
and is being brought to the mill by
train of fifty jacks making two trips
daily.

A friend yesterday, speaking OF Sena-
tor Teller's words predicting the final
triumph of bimetalism, shook his head,
and expressed the belief that silver had
practically been killed as money. We
believe that many people who are good
silver men take that view. They may be
right, for when thing or principle is
fought By that power which is stronger
than any Government in Europe, it has
indeed hard battle. But we must not
forget that while our gold friends are
rejoicing greatly in this country, the ar
guments of bimetalists have all the more
weight across the sea, for our present
prosperity has its origin and force In the
misfortuncs of the world outside. The
producers, the world around, except IN
our country, are working for nothing
and ours can oniy trace their present
prosperity to ia nine.-SaH Lake 1rt-
