A SURE THING.
The Construction of the Ward Road Re-
9arded as y Certainty.

The Construction of the Ward Road Re-
garded as Certainty.
There is strong probability that Ward
district, Boulder county, will soon have
a railroad, says the Denver Republican,
a facility that would more than double
the output of that camp. The heavy
rates for wagon transportation into the
camp have prevented number of fairly
valuable mines from operating. The
road from Boulder is about 20 miles long
and is an uphill climb all the way, and
even at the current rates of 50 cents a
hundred going in and half that sum COM
ing out it is impossible for the teamsters
to make any money. Recently Eastern
capital has become interested in the con
struction of a railroad into the district
and the necessary surveys have been
made and all the grade stakes set. The
route will follow the old washed out rail.
road grade to Sunset and straight up
Four Mile creek to Ward. Its reas.
enable grade and can be constructed
with not a serious addition to the average
cost of grade. A grading contractor is
now on the ground making estimates Of
the cost, which will be forwarded to the
East. Estimates for the iron, equipment
and cost of operating have all been sent
on and are now under consideration.
The construction of the road to Ward
will be one of the most important addi'
tions to the mining industry possible and
will cause very heavy increase in the
MI neral output of 1.-the state. In Gilpin
county concentrates running as low as
SIG per ton can be shipped at a profit
owing to the comparable reasonable cost
of transportation. There are thousands
of tons of concentrating ore in Ward
district which will produce concentrates
of this grade, that are not worked be-
cause the cost of treatment and shipmen,
precludes the possibility of profit, and a
large number of miles that can produce
ores of this character now lying idle
which would be started in the event oi
the construction of railroad,

man of the Knights of Labor, arrived
unexpectedly this morning. having been
compelled to fee from West Virginia to
escape arrest. He was sent into the
Pocohontas district to speak but he was
SO interfered with by the operators that
all of his attempts TO speak proved un-
availing. The operators would not per-
NIT the miners to travel on their rail-
roads and the miners went over the
mountains to Pocohontas. On their ar
rival at the hall in which the meeting
was to be held. the operators had cut the
electric light wires. A citizen offered
the use of vacant lot, but just as the
exercises were about to begin an officer
stepped up and served a proclamation
issued by Mayor R. c. Pemberton, stat.
ing that IN view of the fact of the un-
settled times no public meetings would
be allowed within the city limits.
The meeting thereupon dispersed, and
the officers bounded Sovereign about

retary Long, however, found that the en-
sineer corps was sadly in need of officers,
owing to the rapid depletion of the ranks

decided that, as these young men had been

they should render service in return. The

A QUIET KANSAS GATHERING.
Several SunnOwer state Politicians
Talk of Federal Patronage at

There was a meeting of prominent Kansas
Republicans at the Blossom house yester-
day morning. OF course, II was all purely
accidental" but everything chanced to
fit.
Cy Leland came down with three carloads
of cattle. The cattle took breakfast at the
stock yards, together with a great many
other cattle. while Leland had his break
fast at the Union Depot hotel. accompanied
by L. B. Jewett, Harry Bone, Lit Crum and
Newt Try.
Judge Jewett is now being referred to as
the Southwestern Kselsas candidate for col
lector Of Internal revenue. OF course. he
chanced to meet Leland here, and was not
looking after his chances for that appoint
ment. The judge has taken all sorts of post
graduate courses in Sedgwick county poll
tics and has had hand in state entangle-
ments to some extent. He claims TO have
the geography OF the situation: cannot he
lieve that the eastern half Of the state will
be given everything, and in the event the
theory pans out he thinks he has a show to
win. He has an eye and liking for politics
and this quality may be discovered by the
parties who have much to say Of politics at
this time.
Harry Bone was putting in n few whis-

sion agent. He wants the job and Tom An

ing the situation. the usual point in the
game is TO drive the place TO Missouri or
some other state in the event the president
cannot appoint the man he wants TO ap-
point in Kansas. The same argument Of
course. is used by Andersons friends
There is 20 be n general shake down of

politicians had talked things over and each
one scampered to his home on the first
