"A great deal of interest is mani

the present time" was the remark
that a prominent mining man made to

that large tracts of ground have been

weeks by a number of heavyweights

stress is laid on the fact that these
big blocks of claims have been located
almost in the center of the valley. and
also on the fact that the loeators. to

DeLamar, George H. Kislingbury,
Colonel E. A. Wall, c. L. Dignowity

and was surprised to find that a broad
porphyry reef had forced Itself above

zone that Mr.. John Dern of the Mercur
mine and his associates have secured
a bond on a group of claims, which
they will test for values.
1T is understood that DeLamar,
Dignowity and Mayne propose to do
some extensive work in the develop

the spring, and it is reasonable to
predict the making of some very valu-
able discoveries in that locality before
many months are passed.

Students Have a Row.

London. Jan. 3O.-A dispatch from
Athens today says that as a result of a
dispute between the students at the uni
versity there and one of the professors,
the students three days ago took posses
sion of the building and grounds and pre-
pared to hold them by force of arms.
Yesterday. the water supply was cut off
and the buildings were surrounded by
troops. and no one was allowed TO enter
the grounds Bodies of students then
attempted to place before the king a
demand that the offending professor be
dismissed, but they were prevented from
approaching the palace by the troops,
who fired a volley in the air to intimidate
them. During the disturbance one boy
was killed. This afternoon the students
in the university surrendered.

COLORADO MIDLAND.
Interesting Information Regarding
the REORGANIZATION of That Line.

Interesting Information Regarding
the Reorganization of That Line.
Information has just reached this
city of the reorganization of the Colo
RADIO Midland railway, which occurs on
July l. The contamination of the plan
removes the Midland management
from the hands of receiver and places
the line on an independent footing
once more. Receiver George W. Ris-
tine. whose abilities have been the di-
rect means of bringing the Midland
out of debt, will be the president of
the new company and it is more than
likely that the present force will be
redistributed among its official posi-
lions.
This is the first announcement that
the Midland had reached a stage where
it might emerge from a bonded stage
into that of a free system. 1t means
that the Midland will now be enabled
to make traffic arrangements that Will
cause it to become an aggressive fac
tor in Colorado business. making its
influence felt along Utah connections.
About four years ago, under Santa
Fe management and while branch of
that system, the Midland was sWamped
with encumbrances. 1t has been in re-
ceiver's hands since that period, the
first two years of which were badly
administered. Then Mr.. Ristine was
given the helm and he has successfully
cleared the property of its bonded in
debtedness. Under his direction the
Midland has secured for two years past
900 900 tonnage pro rata of Cripple
Creeks business and 400, 900 tonnage of
Aspen's. Until traffic fell off just be-
fore the national election it had been
carrying daily 800 passengers into and
200 passengers out of Cripple Creek.
Now it is drawing additional ore ton
mage from Thomasville, Freshwater,
Buena Vista, Puma, Badger Creek and
other new points along its line.
1t is confidently predicted by those
who ought to know whereof they SPEAK
that some important traffic relations
will be made between the segregated
Short Line and the Midland over its
Rio Grande Western connection into
Salt Lake.

Cooney's Explanation.

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-The explanation
offered by ex-Notary Cooneys attorneys
for having large lot of blanks similar
to the one used in the Far case as

that they were to be used to mystify the
experts. who claim TO be able to identify
with marvellous accuracy, the Croker &
Co. blanks The blanks were printed
from a photo-engraved reproduction OF
the original Crocker blank, and, it is
claimed. that when mixed with the

to distinguish them and that the experts

EUROPEAN POSSIBILITIES.

1t is barely possible that a power so
inconsiderable as Greece may have
taken the step that is at last to bring
the Eastern question to a crisis and
shatter the Infamous rule of the Turk.
There is room for suspicion that the
troubles in the island Of Crete are not
wholly of Mussulman origin. 1t would
be strange indeed if wherever Christian
and Turk meet on common ground the
former should not be stirred to as deep
and implacable hatred as the latter
knows how to cherish by what has
taken place in Armenia and in Con-
stantinople. These Eastern Christians
have the feelings of men, and it is not
in human nature for them to pass over
lightly the atrocities which the past
two years have seen inflicted upon
their fellows in the faith. So one
may drop the question whether the
Cretan troubles are Of Christian or
MOhammedan origin, and concern him
self only with the practical effect. The
fitting out of an expedition from Greece
for participation in the difficulties in
Crete has alarmed all Europe. 1t threat
ems to bring Greeks and Turks face
to face in armed conflict It is not
likely that the sultan, who has openly
defied all the powers, will submit tame
ly to any interference now. On the other
hand, it is equally likely that this may
prove to be the spark which alone was
needed to fire the mine.
All Christendom, except the timorous
politicians who rule the destinies of
most nations, has been ready for
many months for any sort of crusade
that would send the Turk scuttling out
Of Europe Given an opportunity fol-
to do the rest. 1t is possible that, il
the sultan should resent the act oil
King George and if an armed conflict
should be the result Of the overwheIm-
ing public sympathy Of Europe with
the Christians, the public would burst
all restraints and end the question al
once and forever. That this may be
the result is the hope Of every civilized
man. 1t has generally been true in
the past that great crises were pre-
cipitated by comparatively insignificant
events at last. 1t may be that what
the blood Of thousands Of Armenians
failed to purchase will be bought by a
threatened outbreak in an inconsidera-
it may be so is the hope of the entire
world.

as 1t is understood they will be. the
treaty becomes mere waste paper
Those amendments reduce the agree
ment to unadulterated idiocy. They
say, in effect, that Great Britain and
the United States may arbitrate their
differences when the question involved
is one about which both of them are
perfectly Indifferent and which raises
no question material to either party;
and that, If they do this, either Of them
can back out and quit the game when
ever he pleases. OF course, this is not
merely to deny arbitration, but to make
1T ridiculous. Neither our own depart
ment of state nor the English foreign
office would condescend to so much as
notice the treaty If it should be
agreed to by the senate in this shape.
1t is generally believed that these med
dlesome old women will not ratify the
treaty containing any practical or use
full provisions. 1t Is known that the
governments concerned will not pay
cAAS eblNC1A(AOL " lliO ollly OuoiliCoo
which the senate has in mind There
fore, once more, all debate that can be
had over this treaty is practically use
less except as it serves to crafty the
craving, now risen to monomania, Of
lot Of imbecile old men for interim
nable speech-making.
The fact is that the senate, under
it's present rules, is wholly in the grip
Of few old fogies in their second
childhood and few paid servants Of
great corporations. What delights
these men most is to sidetrack every
practical business measure and keep
the main line open for CAB. If a re-
form in the rules that make this pos
sible does not come very soon, deep
er-seated reform will be necessary. We
believe, from present appearances, that
within the next ten years the question
of how to reconstitute or else abolish
the federal senate will be one Of the
| leading issues Of the day.

Sunrise City, Feb. 8, 1897.
All persons acting as election officers
should become qualified electors before
duties Section 81 Of the Statutes Of
Minnesota, compiled in 1894, reads as
follows:
Two qualified electors in each election dis
trict shall be appointed judges of election
therein to serve as clerks of election for such
district, except that in towns the town clerk,
and in villages having but one election dis
trict, and not included in any township cleo
ton district, the village clerk shall serve as
one of the clerks OF election IN the election
district in which he resides. No more than
two judges and clerk of election shall
belong to the same political party, and no
person shall be eligible serve as judge or
clerk of election unless he be a qualified
voter within the election district in which
he SITS nor unless he read write and
speak the English language Understandings,
nor if he be candidate for any office.
The language Of this is very explicit.
No person shall be eligible to serve
as Judge or clerk of election unless he
is a qualified voter. Under the consti-
stutional amendment, in order to be
a qualified voter he must have taken
out his full papers of citizenship. It is
therefore obvious that persons selected
to such places should be fully qualified
citizens.
There is a note to this section in the
general statutes, referring to a case
in which it was decided that the fact
that some Of the judges Of election
were not qualified voters did not au-
thorize the rejection Of the vote of
their precinct. 1t is a question of
law, however, how far this exception
would be held to extend, and the only
safe and legal plan is for the election
officers to qualify themselves fully be-
fore entering on the discharge Of their
duties.
