An Answer To- .rlat In.titia "

To the Editor OF The Times
Please allow a member of the Citizeus'
League OF this county to say few words
in the columns Of your valuable paper. I
noticed IN The Evening Times of Thursday
a statement in regard 10 the affairs OF
the county. which in justice 10 the Cti-
zcns' League of this county must be re-
futcd- Fiat Justitia'' is either ignorant
OF the true state or affairs or else grossly
mlSstates the facts when. among other
things, he says Sheriff PaImer'S pretie-
cesSor was a member Of the league. The
league was not in existence at the time OF
that campaign, so the eN-shcriff in QueS-
ton could not have belonged to IL. The
league was formed few months later by
a large number OF citizens who believed
that an organization 10 promote the gen
crai welfare Of the county was needed.
The gentleman spoken Of never became a
member of the league It seems when
citizens organize TO prevent the Iawless
element from running things To suit them
selves the cry is raised that the movement
is either for political effect or it is al at
tempt to slander the county Let Fiat
JuStitia learn more about the leagues
history; then he will be careful how ne
rushcs into print and makes statements
that are untrue

SOME LUCK IN MINING.
Two Blasts That Showed a Miner
Where He Had Made Mistakes

'One man cannot see as far into the
ground as another, said John Pritchard,
OF Aspen, "itnd there isn't little bit
OF truth In the saying that he can,
when applied TO mining operations. Thou
sands OF instances might be brought for
ward to prove my position, and learned
the lesson very carly IN my mining career.
The Tom Boy story is an Illustration OF
this Everybody thought j. Ernest Waters
was wild To spend so much money on it,
and yet il is today being negotiated for
$4,000 900, after paying more than $780,
900 in dividends in less than two years.
g was down in the San Juan county in
1881, and had a claim over on Sultan
Mountain, which | called the Jessie IL
was a promising crevcc and | worked at
it faithfully until | had expended nearly
$500, mainly for grub and powder, living
alone in my cabin and frequently working
fifteen hours day. Then | sent home,
and father sent me 5000 more, which /
used up. BY that time | had been at
work nearly TWO years, and had driven
my tunnel III about 200 feet, every inch
Of it with my own hands. Then | became
discourag ged, as | knew father had a
mortgage on tie old place and couldn' ar
ford to help me any more. | got credit
for $10o and kept at work, driving the
tunnel fifty feet further, and then felt that
/ was at the end of my rope.
zone day as | was gathering up my
tools to quit. a nicely dressed man saun-
tered up to the tunnel ana began 10 look
around. lie asked me to see the tunnel,
which was mostly in solid rock, without
tinberng, and after he had closely exam
70
sell | feigned indifference, and, after
calculating $50 feet OF tunneling at SO
foot, answered that | might if l got my
price. Well, what is your price? lac
asked Twenty-Five hundred dollars l
replied, with nay heart in my mouth. Come
down to town and get Your money was
the answer, and that night slept with
50, 500 under my pillow, in clean sheets,
for the first time in two years. NeXtmorn-
ing the purchaser asked me to help him
put in n couple of shots, and, of course,
agreed.
When we got to the tunnel he examined
the wal! and selected point n hundred
feet from the IN outl. Lets drill couple
OF holes here, he said. The minute he laid
hold OF the sledge | saw he was a miner,
and in a short time we had two beautiful
holes in the rock. When the shots went
Off could hardly restrain myself from
ruSmng into the tunnel at once, and when
the smoke cleared away l was the first
on the spot. And there lay body Of ore
exposed. which was aftcrw ard found to be
three feet thick, and ran over 81 90 to tie
ton | had left the vein, and the superior
knowledge Of my purchaser had enabled
him to detect the point of departure.
II stayed around there for week, by
which time he had taken out enough ore
To pay for 5le cost of the mine. and then
went hon. and paycd off the mortgage on
the farm. and I've got the farm yet,
though am still mining. More than $780,
600 was taken out OF thathole and then the
vein was lost and it has never been found
since Denver Republican.

VOICE IN SONG AND SPEECH.
The Speaking Voice and Its Scales
and Arpeggios.

1T has always been thought that voice
in song and Voice in speech were two
entirely different things" said Mrs. Mil
ward Adams, in her lecture on this subject
yesterday morning at the home OF
Charles Eaton, No. 35 West Fort V
eighth street, but within the last eight
or ten years it has been proved that the
two are exactly the same thing. and
since singers have known for many years
how to Use their voices to the best. adj
vantage, we can learn from them how TO
use the speaking Voice to the best ad-
vantage.
The first thing one notices in the sing
ing voice is range, whether it is soprano,
contralto, tenor or bass, and tie same
division is possible and absolutely neces-
sary in the speaking voice, If it is to have
any individuality High soprano voices
are very common in America, and il is
this improper use that produces the Shrill-
ness that we hear so much about. Peo-
pie with such voices are often told TO
bring them down, but this S wrong if it
really expresses their inner nature. The
high soprano voice expresses JOY AMI mer-
riment, and it is not the high pitch, but
the false registration that we object To-
Speaking voices have scales and ar
peggios just like singing ones. but these
are natural, instead OF being arranged to
we do not notice them. Another is that
so few of us use them Children use all
their notes and baby's first COO is u
mn loot ,.rtg Int. ,f
reduced to two or three notes.
Adults who have a simple and child
like character retain this childlike quality
of the voice and speak in melodies.
Persons Of very complex natures, who
carry on two qualities OF thought at
once, speak in harmony. one note at
time is not enough for them, but they must
strike all at once. These are what are
called magnetic voices. They are full
of fire and yigor, and whether in speaking
or singing thrill us and carry us with
them.
When such q nature is reprcsSed the
voice has grasplng quality, and is apt to
break and 20 TO pieces; but it ; just the
most promising voice OF all to work with,
for it has the element Of harmonics in it,
and this is something that can't be put into
one, if it happens TO be lacking.
The minor voice bctrays lack Of conf
dence, and the person of intense vitality
always speaks in a major key.
The mental a'tit ID OF mind cX prcSScSit-
selfin slow breathing aud enumeration, and
the voice has a sliding downward scale
This is the reason why the average telch-
er's voice has a falling scale.
THE voice betrays the individual and II
we wish to give perfect expression To- oui-
selves we must understand how 20 use II.
We must not destroy its individual quality,
bus we want enough technique to give us
freedom. New York Tribune.

Rayburn stroled about the town in the
vague hope OF running across them some
where; but they were not at the cathedral

As for himself, he could hardly have
imagined his being entirely unimpressed
by the building wherein Pope Urban held
the council that proclaimed the first cru
tade, get such was the painful fact; and his
following days Were spent in excursions to
Royat, to the ruined towers of Mont Rognon
and Ito the great plateau of Gergovia, where
Caesar received his famous defeat at the
hands of Vcrcingetorix; excursions that
were sgnaIizcd by an entirely uniform bad
fortune as TO company, and 10y an entirely
uniform lack OF interest or impressions.
At one point he got scraps OF intelligence

had been at the spot the day before; at
Others, having floundered odt OF his depths
in FrcLch, he was, as a CONSCIENCE, sent
