PUMPS HAVE BEEN STARTED.
Work on the Mines at Leadville to
BE Resumed.

Leadville, Col, May 17.-An agreement
having been reached by the owners of the
principal mines, the down town district
has resumed pumping, which was stopped
last winter while the strike was on. The
arrangements for pumping will result in
the employment of probably 1000 men
within six months. IT is thought that by
August 1 the upper levels in the working
mines will be sufficiently dry to permit
of the Introduction Of men, and from that
time on men will be continually added to
the working force until all the properties
are in full operation.
1t is believed that many repairs will be
necessary on account of the swelling
and crushing of the timbers occas:oned
by the extra weight of water. More than
5000 acres are included within the terri
tory, the development of which will be
vigorously pushed with deep shafts.

Boise Idaho, May 13.- 1t is moro than
likely that the Kensler-Freel murder case

fatally defective in that it does not state
the county or state in which the crime
was committed. The defense has moved
for a stay of Judgment in each case, bas
ing the contention on that fact. Alfred
Freel and Mrs. kensler were indicted
for the murder of John Kensler, a farm
er, October II last. Freel was convicted
of murder in the first degree and Was
to have been sentenced to hang in 4 few
days. Mrs. Kensler, wife of the nur-
dered man, got second degree verdict
and prepara tions have already been made
for her accommodation at the peniten-
tiary, where there is no female inmate.

When distant hill-sides famed
In all their splendor?

Your voice was low and sad:
Those hills of splendor
Are far and steep, my own;
The light will hide ere long,
And darkness gather,
And we shall yearn for rest
This side the yonder''
The years have swiftly flown.
Alone with wonder
| gaze upon the hills
A Masters brush has touched
With newer splendor;
My eager eyes would search
Beyond the yonder.
And you in higher realms,
You do remember
For through my soul feel,
Persuasive, sweet, your call,
Thrilling and tender,
Past earth's most perfect scenes
To farthest yonder.
