The prolonged strike at Leadville has
at length caused the pumps to be drawn
from the Maid of Erin mine, which will
cause the flooding and practical ruin
of number of of the most valuable
properties in that great mining camp.
Tee obstinacy of the mine owners and
the persistency of the strikers has
brought about most deplorable con-
dition of affairs and cost all parties
concerned, as well as the state of Col
orado, more than all the wages paid in
the camp would have amounted to in
many years. Arbitration was the only
possible solution of the situation and
all efforts to accomplish this were per-
sistently blocked by the mine man
ayers.

The goldbug papers now accuse the
free silver advocates of being glad of
the opportunity of saying 1--WE told you
sol" every time they hear the crash of
a failing bank or the slam of the clos
ing doors of any business concern.
They are not tglad, but it is only human
after all they had been promised by
the goldbugs about the restoration of
prosperity, to twit them of their du-
plicity or want of foresight. That
matters have turned out just as the
bimetallists predicted they would, is
no qualification to the friends of the
white metal.

State Senator Bennett has intro
duced bill in the Legislature provid-
ing for the payment to H. C. Anchor &
Co. and the DeLamar Mining Company
S1,722 for exhibits loaned to the state
for the Columbian WorlI's Fair, which
were lost while in possession of the
Commissioner. One thousand dollars
is to go to Anchor & Co. for stolen
opals and the balance to the mining
company for bullion taken. Only COM
mon honesty is required to pass this
bill. Idaho people will remember the
manner in which the losses occurred
with no little regret at the blot on the
fair fame of Idaho, and as the state
stood good for articles loaned for the
exhibition, the defeat of bill provid-
ing for payment of the losses would be
reputation, pure and simple or
rather, impure and dishonest. Let
that bill pass.

The great plague, now holding a
stronger grip on the city of Bombay
than ever before, is pronounced to be
the Chinese bubonic scourge and most
yirulent in character. The Philadel-
phia Press asserts that one case of
death, from this greatest of scourges,
occurred in New York last week, al
though pronounced by the health of
ficers to have been case of diabetes.
The Salt Lake Tribune, in speaking of
the present visitation, says; "It origi-
mated in Yunnan, province of South
China, where DR. Kitsato found the dis
ease to be endemic. Periodically, for
over one thousand years past, at inter
walls of two or three centuries, it has
originated from this center and spread
over the known world. 1t has not been
checked in India, as was hoped, and one
case has appeared in New York. Ger
tainly the health authorities on both
our coasts ought to be on the alert, be-
cause, as the ships are running now,
we are only twenty days removed from
China"

Crowding close on the heels of the
great famine in India, comes the news
that the black plague has broken out
and looks as if it were to prove the
greatest calamity the world has suffer-
ed within the past three centuries. All
of Europe is alarmed and in England,
large sums of money are being raised
to feed the famishing but far off sub
jects of that great empire, while means
are being considered to stay the plague
before it reaches the boundaries of Eu-
rope. In Africa the rinderpest is ami
hilating herds of cattle and threaten
ing poverty and starvation for the
herdsmen. The cattle plague has al
ready crossed the Mediterranean and at
tackled the cattle in Southern France.
When and how all these calamities are
to terminate, God only can tell.

The fact that in all the mining dis
tricts of the West there has been a
greater increase in the output Of gold
than in any other parts of the world
during the past year and that, too, in
spite of the fact that millions have
been poured into the foreign mines
from Europe and very little has come
to this country, is apt to make Eu-
ropean investors seriously reflect
whether, after all, this is not their best
field. If this leads to greater demand
for western American mines, it is to
be hoped that the papers of this coun,
try will do their share toward prevent
ing wild speculation.-Scientific Press.

A Great Event.

Better one decade of the present
than a century of the past. The pink
checked youth of to-day has seen more
marvellous changes in the worlds meth
DDS than came to the oldest of the
grey-beards of hundred years ago. A
thousand years that passed after the
fall of Rome added less to the knowl-
edge and practical wisdom of mankind
than has been gained in the last twen-
ty years.
Twenty yearsl We need not look
back five years. Later than that, the
thought of two great nations agreeing
to settle all disputes that might arise
between them not by war but by fair
trial before a regularly constituted
court would have called for sneers as a
dream of the millennium. 1t is now
practically an accomplished fact. For
the next five years the British Empire
and the American republic are to rely
on reason, not on force of arms; and
should the plan meet with even fair
success Gt can hardly result otherwise(
the five years treaty will be followed
by one for ten or twenty years, and
will then become for all practical pur-
poses a permanent institution to main
tain peace among the English speak
ing people of the world.
Success in this plan can have but
one result; its gradual adoption by all
other nations, the disbanding of stand
ing armies, the actual establishment of
that universal brotherhood" of whic.,
philanthropists and philosophers have
prophesied through all the centuries.
Should this be the result, the signing
of this treaty may be fairly regarded
not only as the greatest event in the
record of this administration but the
greatest since the signing of that i'm
mortal declaration that "all men are
created equal" six score years ago.

A dispatch from New York appears
in Philadelphia paper to the effect
that an investment company has been
organized in London, in which the
Rothschilds are understood to be inter
ested. for the purpose of changing the
direction of investments which have
been toward the South African mining
fields, to the United States. Some of
the agents, it says, of that company are
now in this country. and others who
have recently been here are in London
reporting the results Of their visits to
many of the mining tracts of the West
and one or two in the South. The feel
ing in London was that in South Afri-
can mining has been greatly overdone
and speculation had unreasonably in
creased prices of large number of
mining stocks. Probably the forth
coming reports of the yield of the Amer
lean gold fields, compared with those of
other countries, will do more to turn
English capital this way than anything
else.-Scientific Press.

"The Idaho squabble," is the way
some of the eastern papers now head
line the contest going on in Boise over
the senatorial election. Pshaw! this is
no circus yet. All the wrangling up to
date wouldn't make an opening pre-
lude to the meeting of the legislature,
six years ago. when it elected four u.
S. senators and succeeded in seating
three of them. Then remember back
only two years ago, what lively Sweet
time they had. The music got so
swift that one member even kept time
to a sour bean quickstep. They had a
merry time and money in their insile
pockets. Now the senatorial bee is
only buzzing in the bonnets of a lot of
poor devils who cannot make it lively
for the boys. G'wan nowl Don't call
this an Idaho squabble. 1t is too tame.

In this late day, when so little of the
earth's surface remains uneXplored, the
problem of the worlds gold supply has
been canvasSed as something which
must one day veX civilization. In view
of this one of the most striking feat
ures of modern prospecting for this
mineral is that rich finds have been
made and are still making in territory
once tramped over by the prOspector
and abandoned as worthless. In
great measure gold mining has settled
down to a prOSaic business of drilling,
blasting, stamping and smelling ores
of such low grade that the miner of
twenty years ago would not have found
even color in the rock. Cripple Creek
is fresh in mind as illustrating the
craze for gold digging, and now the
new discoveries in the Black Hills have
set a strong tide of adventurers drift
ing back to a section which is old and
SCARED by the pick and drill of 100000
prOspectors. And just where these
picks and drills have been busiest the
new camp of Ragged Top is growing
us OAIy al w IL SOii NolhD NSih SION'
The first assay showing the richness of
the field came from rock which the
miner of the '70s would not consider as
of gold-bearing possibilities. At Grip
pie Greek and in other Colorado fields
shafts long since abandoned as un-
profitable have been sunk deeper or di-
verged from their old courses. thus un-
covering very rich ores. In the light of
some of these discoveries discourage
ments had come to the pathfinders just
when they had been on the eve of sue
cess. The one thing which promises
excitement to the gold miner in old
territories-and incidentally the thing
which indicates continuance of the
supply of gold-is the fact of natures
deviations from the rule once laid
down by miners as natural law Two
years ago gold was found in Utah in a
sandstone formation; now 1t is taken
from the limestone of the Black Hills.
Either proposition would have been
secuted five years ago. Thus it is that
in the absence of new geography the
gold fever does not promise to die out,
and in like measure science may be eX-
pected to conserve more and more the
scattered gold deposits of the world.

One of the good results Of the use of
the bicycle by women is that it checks
that dreaded scourge, phthisis pulmon-
alis. 1t has been shown that 4 uni
form rate of reduction in the death rate
from consumption has taken place dur
ing the last five years in Massachu-
setts, or from the time when the use
of the wheel became general among
women. In 1851 the ratio was l 1.451
females to 1000 males; in 1890 it was
1855 females to 1000 males; last year
it was only 974 females to ! 900 males,
when for the first time in the history
of the State the number of deaths from
consumption in women was less than
among the men. There is good reason
for the belief that the wheel has
brought about this gratifying result
Its use insures an abundant supply of
the health-giving ozone: it brings into
play every muscle of the body; the
lungs are expanded, the mind is rested
by the ever-changing scenery, and
eventually the roses of health replace
the hectic flush of disease.

third and last time The popular"

money has been raised in Cuba by de-
vices in the way of forced loans that
even the most firmly intrenched des-
pots have seldom dared to resort to.

she can ever again score popular

more worthless paper No wonder her
rulers, who understand the desperate

finds itself, are adopting concilatory

dynamos, wires, poles, rails and ten
cars to start with American bids
