TO EXTEND THE SUTRO TUN-
MEL.
A ReelDg Of The Directors Of The American
Flat Development Company to be
held This Week.

The affairs OF the American Flat De-
yeloptnent Company are assuming def
mite shape more rapi lily than it was
supposed they would. Mr.. W Il. Sharon
arrived on the Comstork yesterday.
While he has been absent he has
formulated a proposition to be submit
ted TO the owners of American Flat
ground not already comprised in the
holdings of this company. This PROPOSE
ton is a fair proposal on the part OF the
Development Company to drain the
American Flat claims and make them
valuable, and in return taking a portion
Of said claims. The proposal will doubt
less be accepted by nearly all the Amer
lean Flat mine ow ne Another propsi-
ton which Mr.. Sharon has formulated
is one which will be submitted .toshe
Coinstock Tunnel Company. Neither OF
these proposals are complete yet, how.
ever. A meeting of the American Flat
Development Company will be held this
week at which they will be discussed and
doubtless amended to some extent.
After an arrangement has been made
with the necessary parties, the work
tending the tunnel from the Alta mine
will commence.
1t is the general idea that this tunnel
will be run under contract. The Com
stock Tunnel Company, OF which Mr..
Franklin Leonard is President, will en-
deavor to get the contract, but numerous
other corporations and individuals are
already laying their wires to get it. 1t
will be a large contract and whoever
gets it will either make or lose to a con-
siderable extent on the proposition. The
Development Company seems to favor
having the. tunnel run by contract, as
by so doing they will know exactly what
tinanciering is necessary to put the
scheme through to completion.
1t is thought the Sutro Tunnel Com
pany can run the tunnel extension more
cheaply than any other parties, for the
reason that they have facilities for hand
ling the waste, ETC., not enjoyed by any
body else. The locomotive Theodore
Sutro is still in good working order and
could haul immense trains of waste from
the Alta to the mouth of the tunnel,
and the idea Of transmitting electric
power from the Carson river to Sutro
and thence into the tunnel is already
under consideration. The power could
be utilized to supply the miners at work
in the heated blast with fresh air, switch
the cars OF waste into the south lateral
drift by means of a trolly system and
compress air TO operate burleigho.
Should the Comstock Funnel Company
obtain this contract the town OF Sulro
would likely again assume the
lively aspect which pervaded it
during the construction Of the main
tunnel. At any event, the extension
OF the tunnel to the American Flat will
be a great boon to the sleepy little
hamlet which Theodore Sutro laid out
so deliberately years ago. Should the
Tunnel Company not get ths co =
tract for making the extension, con-
siderable work will have to be done in
its property in order to take care OF the
water which will come from the fat.
! The new life which this enterprise
will bring to Sutro is bound a little later
to permeate the entire State.-Enter-
prise.

Treatment Of Bruises.

Instead of having recourse to appli-
cations Of tincture of arnica, spirits of
camphor and to strong compression Of
the swelling in the treatment of light
bruises, DR.. Anger prefers the use Of
olive oil, both for children and adults.
He applies the oil freely to the confused
parts and rubs the latter lightly with a
rag, absorbent cotton, or with the
fingers, and covers the bruise with a
compress saturated with olive oil The
author claims that this treatment gives
immediate relief to the patient and
that the formation of bloody protu-
berance is often prevented, while ex-
ooriations aud superficial wounds which
may be present heal very rapidly.

lefs.

which his father wore during the famous
campaign in which William H. Harrison
raE for president Of the United States.
On one side of this medal there Is picture

ple's choice in the year $780," The other
side is adorned with a picture Of President
Harrison in full regimentals. with the
words "Major General W. II. Harrison.

to the coat by bit Of ribbon or worn sus'
pended from the neck by means Of a
string. 1t probably cost 25 or 30 cents

Treaty Rights ana Annexation.


An interesting and delioate interna-
tional question comes up in connection
with the proposed annexation Of Hawaii
by the United States. japan protested
against the contamination of the plan
chiefly because it would interfere with
her emigration and other rights under
her separate treaty with Hawaii.
The reply to this is that when one ma
tion becomes part Of another the nation
annexed thereby loses her identity as q
separate power, and with this loss Of
identity Of course goes the right to diplo-
matte relations of her own with foreign
powers. He diplomacy becomes part Of
that of the country to which she is
joined.
BY annexation to the United States
Hawaii loses her treaty making power;
Japan loses her previous treaty and
treaty rights. She must make new
agreement with the United States con-
corning her rights in Hawaii. The cnse
is cited of our treaty with Madagascar.
The United States had with the indie
pendent government Of Madagascar a
treaty of commerce which gave US valu-
able rights and privileges. When tho
French took possession Of Madagascar.
we lost these rights and tho trade as
we'll and had to put up with the loss
under the laws of nations.
Very we'll. Now let us make little
application Of this principle. The gov
eminent of Samoa made the concession
of most valuable harbor at Apia to
tho United States in perpetuity. If the
United States should let her interests
in Samoa 20 by default and let England
or Germany seize those fair islands,
then we should by the rule Of nations
lose forever our valuable harbor, and it
would pass INTO tho hands Of tho coun-
try Selling Samoa.

Finnicus-Why don't they teach the
cannibals to work. Work Is the greatest

70 Prevent Martsd Unevenness Praceeeo
the Hsads Separately.
It is often with great surprise that
one tries to do the right or left hand
part of long played composition sepa-
rately and finds that it cannot be done
properly at all. 1t is for the reason that,
as a noted teacher once said, Zone hand
gets on and rides with the other" On
carefully criticising performance we
often notice marked unevennees and
are not little puzzled to find the cause
of it. A writer in the Etude claims
that the difficulty will be quickly solved
by doing the hands separately. He says:
In Chopin's "1mpromptu" in A fiat,
where both hands 60 at the same pace
in triplets and the bass ia so difficult,
the great trouble in playing this nicely
is to avoid all "seesaw" between tie
bands, and that is NEST easily accom-
plished by doing each hand separately
in perfect time, trying to strike each
note with equal force. As III all things
where unevenness occurs, the trouble In
the bass may be partly covered by the
natural indistinotness in that part or BY
the prominence of the treble, and the
unevenness in the treble may be covered
by the indistinctness Of the bass. 1ndis-
tinctness and unevenness are often
caused and covered up by the improper
use OF the pedal.
Many teachers give their pupils the
arpeggios of the diminished seventh
chord and derivatives to play with both
hands at once, but it does not produce
the best results, according to the au-
thority quoted. He says: The jerk pro.
duced by putting the thumb under is
much greater than when putting the
finger over, and the big jerk is partly
covered by the smaller one. The same
applies to scale practice in a marked
way and to much technical work. With
any composition that is up to the limit
Of technical abilities the hands should
be praoticed separately.

A source Of danger is the fact that it
is in and about the sink that much food
is prepared. There, where the most filth
collects, the daintiest preparations are
exposed to contamination. It is not an
uncommon thing to see milk, buildings,
meat and other edibles standing in the

Today a Times reporter interview
ed the man arrested. He gave his
name as E. Boggs. and his version
of the affair is as follows: II lett st.
Paul on the overland, and soon
started to work the train with the
paper. A party OF soldiers going to
Fort Keough were on board aud one
of them bought something and gave
me u silver dollar, and gave him 80
cents in change. On going back to
the supply box, found the dollar
given me was counterfeit and l
called my partners attention to the
fact. I Immediately went back to
the soldier and explained that the
dollar given was bad, and demanded
another one which he gave me.
About al hour afterwards. the con-
ductor came to me and told me l
must refund the dollar. refused to
do 80, as had done nothing wrong.

less it was u put up job among the
soldiers, because insisted on max
ing the man give me good dollar.'
The mans statement that he came
from st. Paul, and the telegram
coming from Little Falls would in
dicate a discrepancy somewhere
st. Cloud Times.
Chief of Police Bailey S understand
ing Of the affair is somewhat
different from the above account.
He was standing on the platform OF
the Northern Pacific depot when the
overland train stopped here Sunday
evening. A man claiming to be
government officer got off the train
and told Mr.. Bailey that the news
agent had been passing counterfeit
money to the passengers and gave
Mr.. Bailey counterfeit silver dollar
which Mr.. Bailey supposed was only
one OF several that had been passed.
The officer claimed that tie news
agent became aware of his presence
on the train and got off at st. Cloud
to avoid him, and he said nothing
about the conductor putting him off.
He requested Bailey to telegraph the
st. Cloud authorities and have the
man arrested and turned over to the
government officers. This request
Mr.. Bailey compiled with, but yes
terday had a talk with Chief of
Police Wheeler by telephone and was
Informed that the man had not been
apprehended.
Mr.. Bailey requested the Tran
script not to publish the affair as it
might interfere with the officers
efforts TO locate the man. From the
story told by the newsboy it would
seem that there is but little chance
of convicting him, and it would be
hard to tell whether it was he or the
passenger who was attempting to
get rid of the counterfeit money.
