snectacles for Horses.

Spectacles for horses have been pa
tented by an inventor, and are being
used with considerable success. Their
object is not SO much to magnify OBJ
jects as to make the ground in front
of the horse appear nearer to his head
than 1t really is. The result is con-
tinual high stepping, which, after
while, becomes natural and gives to
horse an aristocratic gait, which he
win retain for many years.

WORK AT OR .EDE..
Large Output Reported for the Month Of
March.

March.
The 100 carloads of ore. or 11,900
tons, shipped from Creole camp in the
month of March testifies to what is
being done in mining way at this
place. Quite a number of these cars
consisted of concentrates from the
Ridge mine, that had been treated by
the Ridge concentration mill. The re-
ceipts for express of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Company have
increased over $500 over those last
year for the same month, while their
receipts ON all other business at this
point show a corresponding improve
ment.
The owners of both the Sulphide
group and the Union group have or
dered abstracts of the Hinsdale Alb
stract Company ON all their property
which lies north of the Antler's Park
Regent and have paid all the back
taxes for several years, with the view
of operating the property in the near
future. The renewed activity on
Bachelor mountain is making every
foot of ground on that mountain yalu-
able. and while everyone seems to
want to get leases on Bachelor noun
tain property there is very little to be
leased and no claims for sale there.
The Bachelor mine is rapidly push
ing work on the upraise that is being
driven from the Nelson tunnel to
Bachelor Tunnel No. 4.
The Commodore has completed the
upraise from No. tunnel to No. 8.
The Creole Cooperative Leasing,
Mining and Milling Company has
started its mill to work ON the Happy
Thought lode of the United Mines
group and is also shipping smelling
ore
The receivers report to the District
Court shows that Wilson and Coombs,
who secured lease from the receiver
of the Ridge mine last June, have re-
ceiyed $4,000 as net proceeds from the
property since they commenced opera
tions in June, and the royalties at 20
per cent. amount to $4,000 The new
strike in the lower levels of this prop
erty. mentioned last week in the Re-
publican. has grown from three to six
feet in width and consists of a very
heavy high grade of pure lead ore.
This is d Campbell mountain prom
Ierty and the good results from the
Ridge has been a great incentive for
others to apply for leases on the same
mountain. Messrs. Abbot and Row
ley. who have secured leases ON the
Ethel and Solomon, have nor yet COM
pleted arrangements for the use of the
Solomon mill, but expect to do so
within a very few days. and have let
a contract to Wiley Skinner for driv-
ing the Ethel tunnel fifty feet.
There is considerable activity in
prospecting in the Spar district, where
the Judson Tunnel Company and quite
a number of claim owners of that part
of the camp have been doing consid-
cradle work. From the present intii-
cations the same life will prevail there
this summer as in the summer OF
1898, when Spar City was quite
thriving town before the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing act.
The activity in mining circles is hay
ing a telling effect on the business in
terests of the camp. and from the
present outlook all the vacant lots in
the fire district in that part of the
town christened "Jimtown' by the
early boomers in 1891, will be covered
with brick buildings before fall-Den-

SENATE SEEKS SOME
 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wants to Know if Robson Was Con- fined in Range of Fire and if Marines Bodies Were

WASHINGTON, June 22-In the Senate to-day Davis of Minnesota, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com mittee, asked immediate consideration of the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy be directed to inform the Senate whether Lieutenant Hobson and those who were captured with him have been confined by the Spanish authorities within the line of fire or under the fire of the United States fleet, and if so, at what place or places they are or have been so confined; also to inform the Senate what efforts have been made to effect the exchange of such prisoners, and with what result; also to transmit to the Senate copies of the correspond ence or reports upon the subjects of this inquiry"
 The resolution was agreed to. Davis then offered the following resolution, which was also agreed to:
 That the Secretary of the Navy is directed to inform the Senate whether the bodies of the United States marines or sailors who were recently killed in battle at or near Santiago de Cuba were mutilated after death by the Spanish soldiery. and to transmit to the Senate copies of the official correspond ence and reports upon the subjects of the inquiry"

CONFERENCE WITH

stablishment of a Protectorate Over the Island May Be the
 

NEW YORK, June PA Washing ton special to the Herald says: Con- siderable importance is attached in Washington to the visit of Ramon H. Todd, Secretary of the Porto Rican Auxiliary Revolutionary Junta, who, together with pr. J. J. Henna, also a prominent Porto Rican, left to-day after having had a conference with President Mckinley, Secretary Alger and General Miles. as to the best plans to be adopted for the invasion of Porto Rico. MT. Todd has long been promi- nently connected with public affairs in Porto Rico and it is the general opinion that he is endeavoring to bring about the establishment of a United States protectorate until a stable form of gov ernment is provided for the island.
 MT. Todd is wealthy and is as well known in business as in the political circles of his country. pr. Henna is widely known in the United States as the author of a number of medical and political books, and is an authority on all things pertaining to the island of Porto Rico. He was prominent dele gate to the Pan-American Medical Congress in Washington several years ago. His wife is an American woman and an heiress and Dr. Henna's sym pathies are decidedly American.

FOR LIEUTENANT GENERAL.
Joint Resolution Reviving the Grade
 Agreed On.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The House Committee on Military Affairs has agreed on and reported joint resolu- tion reviving the grade of lieutenant general in the army. It authorizes the President, whenever he deems it expe- dient, to appoint a lieutenant general, to be selected from those officers in the military service distinguished for cour- age, skill and ability, the limitation in the bill as to the choice being made from officers mot below the grade of major general being stricken out by the committed
 The committee disclaims any idea of having any single military commander in view, and asserts that the object is to permit the selection by the President to command the armies of the United States of one who should have higher rank than any other officer, this being deemed essential to efficiency of man. agement.
 While Major General Miles has fre- quently been urged for a lieutenant generalship, the members of the com nittee claim that his name is no more than a suggestion, and that the resolu- tion leaves it open for the President to decide whom he shall appoint, the ap- pointee, however, being subject to con- firmation by the Senate.
 It was pointed out by a member of the committee that if there should be a battle at Santiago, for instance, in which General Shafter should figure, and he should perform some heroic work, he would stand fair show for

A SIX DAYS TREATMENT SENT ON TRIAL BY MAIL TO ANY ONE WHO HONEST
 LY DESIRES TO BE CURED.
Remedy Contains No Opiates or Po'sons. Cures the Dreaded Habits" Per- manentIy Without Sufferina

Dr. Carlos Bruisard, a well-known prac- titioner of Cincinnati, Ohio, after many years close study has discovered a rem edy that permanently cures the nor ph.ne, opium, cocaine, laudanum and sim similar habits The remedy cures without causing pain, suffering or nervousness. and removes all desire for stimulants. No opiates or other narcotics are contained in the remedy, nor does the treatment interfere with the patients daily occupa- ton. The cure is complete and perma- nent and leaves the patient in a condi- tion of perfect health.
 Dr. BruiSard carries his ideas into prac- tical effect by sending six days treat ment on trial to any one who actually de- sires to be cured. This will enable the patient to test 1t at home or wherever he may choose, and there is absolutely no question that he will be cured.
 pr. Bruisard has saved thousands of bright men and women from a life of slavery and degradation He has the remedy. There is no doubt about it. It is as certain to cure as the world is cer- tain to revolve on it's axis. This should deeply interest the thousands who are being daily dragged to their torture by the terrible use of narcotics.
 It Is certainly very generous act of the doctor to send his remedy on trial and thus let all see and realize that they will be cured at their homes permanently without any suffering, detention from business or loss of time.

TALK OF SENDING THE COM WANDER TO PORTO RICO.
Report Agreed Upon for the Revival of the Grade of Lieutenant Gen. eral, but Miles May Not
 Get It.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House.


 Washington, June 22. It has been quietly gossiped that President Mckinley and Secretary AL ger were displeased with General Miles. A week ago it was reported on seemingly good authority that he had been recalled from the South by Presi- dent Mckinley and given to under stand that he must fish or cut bait" This is the exact language used by a War Department official who gave this information to The Call correspondent a week ago. It was not credited by the best informed army people at that time, however, and newspaper dis patches from Washington stated on Secretary Alger's authority that there was no truth in the report of any un- pleasantness or dissatisfaction. It has been very apparent for the last few days, however, that something is wrong. An evening paper tonight prints this cautious paragraph:
 There was no one in administra- tion circles to-day willing to take the responsibility of saying that General Miles will go to Porto Rico and be superseded as first military adviser to the President. In fact, there was very apparent unWillingness to discuss the matter at all. It was rumored to-day that in the event of being superseded General Miles will be asked to be re- tired

which rose to the surface and fortu- nately did not explode.
 Commander McCalla suspected there were other mines in the harbor and de- termined to take them up. He sent four boats with picked crews to do the work. Lieutenant Broughton com manded one boat from the Marblehead and Ensign Walter R. Gherardi, son Of the rear admiral, the other. The boats from the Dolphin were in charge of En- signs Coole and Stirling.
 As soon as the boats had started the two warships took positions close in and swept the shore with their rapid fire guns. The four little boats steamed boldly up the channel, paying no heed to the bullets that spattered around them, but attending strictly to the work of sweeping for the mines. They had taken up seven by noon and then abandoned the task for the day.
 There is great enthusiasm in Camp McCalla, which is only few miles east of here, over the arrival of the troops expect will be landed here. The ma rines are all in good health.
 The officers of the navy believe Ad- miral Cervera has moored his ships so as to bring the port batteries in posi- ton to command the entrance to the harbor. It is reported also the star board batteries of all the ships have been taken off and mounted on shore.
