SILVER MINING NAY STOP.
Aspen, Colo, Threatens to Shutdown
ALI it's Mines

Denver, Colo, Sept. 4.-Unless the
Colorado Midland and Denver and Rio
Grande railroads agree to reduce the
freight rates on silver ore from Aspen
to this city, it is probable that all of the
big silver producing properties of the
rich Aspen district will close down. The
mine owners and operators of that dis
trict have made a vigorous protest
against the existing rates and today a
consultation was held between Receiver
Ristine of the Midland and A s. Hughes
(freight and traffic manager of the Rio
Grande) in regard to the matter.
Nothing definite was accomplished,
but the mine owners feel confident that
their request for lower rates will be
faVorably acted upon.

The attention of Wheeling people and
Of West Virginians in general is in
yited to the sketch Of the varied at
fractions and health-giving waters OF
the Addison Springs, in Webster county,
this State. For much more than CEN
fury these Springs have been noted for
their curative properties, and long be-
fore the building Of railroads into that
section many seekers after rest and
health made the long and tedious jour
ney to Addison to drink the waters and
find rest and renewed strength and

Of that neighborhood.
Now the iron horse has penetrated
the wilds. and a splendid modern hotel
has been erected in the little town, af-

travelled and re-traveled by Mir. Lee,
who has lived upon the ground and who
was ready and willing to furnish Mr..
Mckinley with all the information in
detail he might desire as TO the exact
situation Of affairs there.
Why has Mckinley adopted this
course? Evidently with the object OF
DELAY. Mckinley is timid. He doesn't
know Just where he is ''at, and rather
than run the risk of making some pos
sible faux pas by taking vigorous ac-
ton on the side of humanity and right
and Justice, he clings like a coward to
delay in the hope that something may
turn up to relieve him of the necessity
for action. Meanwhile the outrages in
the island continue and Congress and
the people are growing FESTIVE under
the executive inaction.
And Mckinley continues to gather
information"
