TIMES AND MINING.

The mines of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany, at Audenried, are caving in. The
Roman Catholic church is partly en-
quilted, and is still sinking.
1t is reported that Hamlin Garland
narrowly escaped starvation while en-
route for Pine creek, the latest Alaskan
gold field. Garland crossed the dread
ed Spokane route, and was months on
the Journey.
The steam schooner Excelsior has
returned from Copper river, Alaska.
with 200 prospectors, but with no gold.
1t is reported that the gunboat Wheel
ing will soon bring down 150 destitute
miners from Copper river.
The mines near the foot of Badly are
coming o'the front, and sale or two
is now on thestapis, and 1t Is said a,mill
is certain to be erected there to wash
the ore on the cyanide process, and 1t is
also said sale of one of the mines Is
about completed.
The Eureka mill at Randsburg
crushed four tons of ore from La
Crosse mine in the Stringer district
last week, which went over $3.50 per
ton. That mill also crushed twenty
tons of ore from Napoleon mine, which
averaged 500 per ton.
The new cyanide-process plant lately
erected at Garlock, Kern county, Is
now fairly atework This plant has a
capacity of sixty tons of tailings day,
and there are in the neighborhood of
Garlock about twenty thousand tons OF
tailings to be worked. There are at
present ten men employed.
A special from Seattle says: There
will be no rush of the disappointed
back from Kotzebue Sound this fall, at
least, and four or five San Francisco
schooners are preparing to go into
winter quarters there. They have
no choice in the matter, for the crews
have deserted and gone to. the gold
fields. Men to take their places cannot
be secured at any price. There are
very few now on the sound, about 1900
of the 1000 people landed having gone
into the interior.
The cyanide plant which has lately
been erected at the Eureka mill, Rands-
burg, CAL, has been kept steadily at
work since the day it was put in oper~
alton. It has averaged eight tons a
day, and there is a sufficient quantity
of tailings at the mill to keep the. plant
going for the next three months. Some
of the tailings worked were from ore
from the Little Butte mine, taken from
the 520-foot level. If the results should
prove satisfactory the Little Butte will
erect caynide plant of its own. The
cleanup of this first run will be made
today.
Referring to the value of cyanide
plants and the important part they are
going to play in the reduction of the
lower-grade ores of the Rand district,
Southern California, the Los Angeles
Mining Review draws attention in it's
last number to fact of the greatest
Importance, and which is that cyanide
plants arc now being constructed in
Los Angeles at about one-third the
cost of them year ago. This great
reduction in cost will undoubtedly be
the means of bringing them into larger
use, which, in turn, will be the means
of largely increasing the gold output
of Southern California.

Record Union concerning Miss Hey
man in the outset of her career, has
been literally fulfilled. She has won
the recognition then forecast for her,
and in America and Europe has the ap-
prevail we believed her genius would
command. She has not however,
reached the limit of her capability. We
would set for her still higher STAN
dard, and point out to her a still loftier
level of artistic success to be reached,
with perfect confidence In her capacity
to attain it. It will be attained not
alone through brilliancy OF execution
and virile power, now so happily en-
phasizing her art but through feel
ing; the expression that interprets and
gives life to the thought of the COM
poser. This involves the capacity TO
fathom such depths and for that Miss
Heyman by temperament is adm1raoly

will reach the plane where the worlo

the true interpreter She does not now
skim the surface of the great thoughts

contrary, her art is distinguished by an
informing and penetrating intelligence
and by sympathy with her themes
which justifies the forecast that she will
explore to the deepest deeps OF what
ever she undertakes to interpret, and
give expression to loftiest ascriptlons
and aspirations Of the great geniuses
of music. There is no more hesitation
in making this forecast for the modest
woman whose brilliant playing and

FOOTPAD FOILED.
Attempted to Rob a Woman, But
Was Driven OFF.

About 8 O'Clock last evening Mrs.
Watson, who lives at 1881 Second
street, was walking on the street near
her home, accompanied by her little
boy and the wife of neighbor, when
a man jumped over fence and seized
hold of her.
The street was as dark as a pocket,
and Mrs. Watson, who was unable to
get a good view of her assatlant,
screamed for assistance. Her little son
also called manfully for help, and the
thug, finding that capture was immf-
nent if he persisted in his attack. let
go his hold on Mrs. Watson and es-
capped.
Sergeant Dolan and Officers Hayes
and Bagley were soon on the ground,
but could find no trace of the thug
Mrs. Watson was thrown into Mysteries
and was unable to give an account Of
what had taken place.
The officers learned that the woman
with whom Mrs. Watson was walking
wore a number of valuable diamonds,
and they advance the theory (Which
seems to be pausibe) that he was at
tempting to rob her of her jewels, but
in the darkness seized the wrong wo-
man. The electric street lamps were
not lighted when the assault was made.

POPULIsTs IN OFFICE.
Political Headquarters in Peni-
tentiary.

UtAL44Gys
Political headquarters in a peniten-
tiary is unique, but a full live one ex-
lists at Lansing, four miles south of
Leavenworth This new departure and
use Of the State buildings for political
purposes is by the Populist reform
ers'' A reporter went out for a quiet
investigation and the reports We're
found to be true. Before reaching the
penitentiary building a convict in a
goodman suit was noticed en- route
for the Lansing Postoffice with big
paper sack Of mail on his shoulder.
This was campaign literature, sent out
from the penitentiary, instructing the
people of Kansas on their duties as Cit
izens, and incidentally how to vote. It
was learned that "Trusty Fred" had
been engaged for weeks in packing
campaign documents from the chief
clerks office to the Postoffice.
On reaching the main offices inquiry
was made for Warden Harry Lands,
when it was learned that he was out
in the southern part of the State MAX
ing stump speeches. Another inquiry
developed the fact that Chief Clerk
William j. Upton was in Topeka put
ting in his entire time as Secretary Of
the Populist State Committee. It was
stated that these gentlemen had been
away for weeks, devoting their time and
energies to political work, and at the
same time the prison books show that
they are drawing their pay regularly,

the Warden ct the rate Of 50. 500 a

Miss Viola Bishop, stenographer, was

she seemed to have everything running
along smoothly. After kindly answer
ing some questions about the absence

WHY TIMES ARE BETTER.
LIGHT FROM THE EAST ON La
BOR PROBLEMS.
Massachusetts Workmen Get High
er Wages and American Dol
Lars Buy More Provisions.

In this age Of rapid communication
and scientific census taking valuable
light is thrown upon problems pertain
ing to the social condition of the
masses. Every few months the Unit
ed States Commissioner of Labor is
sues bulletins on questions Of vital in
terest relating to the earnings of the
masses, the purchasing power of mon
ey prices Of the chief articles of hu-
man consumption, etc., so that man
who desires to be accurate need not
stumble.
Onel of the most important reports is
sued for many years is by the Commits
sioner of Labor for Massachusetts,
which is the very heart of modern
manufacturing. Horace G. Wadlin,
chief of the Massachusetts Bureau of
Labor, like his predecessors, is skill
full statistician, and the result is that
Massachusetts, figures will continue
TO be held in high esteem by reason
of the expert care with which figures
have been obtained.
The report for 1898 devotes forty
two interesting pages to comparative
wages and prices of the necessaries
of life. This report shows a general
betterment Of the laboring classes.
Though the report is quite dry for the
average reader, the Record Union"
presents the following vital and inter-
esting facts in popular form:
The statistics were carefully gather
ed from original sources by agents Of
the bureau, and they have gathered
data for the years 1860, 1872, 1878.
1881 and 1897. Three items are con-
sidered: Average weekly wages, aver
age retail prices, and the purchasing
power of money. All the great indus
trial centers were visited, pay rolls and
time sheets were studied, and the pro-
prietors of factories afforded every
possible aid to the experts. The retail
food prices were obtained at countless
establishments patronized by working
people, and the agents also ascertain
ed rents and prices for board at places
where the workers lived.
The report covers twenty two leading
industries, and the conclusion is that
in 1897 wages were higher than in
1881 and lower than in 1872. In 1897
there was an increase of wages in fif-
teen Of the established industries,
slight decrease in eight The following
table compiled from a mass of data for
Record Union readers, shows what
industries showed an increase, the per-
centage of gain being given also:

1t will thus be seen that the decrease
of the cost of the bulk of necessaries
has helped the condition of Massachu-
setts wage earners even more than has
the increase of their wages. The de-
crease of an average of a little over 13
per cent. was in the following voca-
tions: Certain classes of farm hands,
blacksmiths, ready-made clothing in
dustry. hosiery workers, leather
workers, machinery makers, common
metal workers. paper workers. The
gain in the purchasing power of their
money, while it has not enabled them
to keep pace with other workmen in
trades where wages advance, has
equalized things so that they are rela-
lively better off than they We're.

River Water.

Eds. Record Union: The water
question OF to-day is again your hobby.
IT is the same old chestnut that you
have been hammering at for the last
ten years, while we have the best ana
most wholesome water in the State.
Your band of kickers, the Chamber OF
Commerce, have had the water in the
river tested in this city and out OF It.
The Professor of Chemistry In
San Francisco returned his report to
that august body that 1t was the best
water on the coast. Talking about
making this a modern city, 1t will never
be anything but an overgrown country
town. Look at your streets to-day; the
dust blowing in every direction, while
the sprinkling carts are going down the
middle of the streets and the sides or
the streets with dust two inches thick
and no water on them, the dust blind
ing the people on the side walks. l
asked the driver of the sprinkling cart
why he did not sprinkle the sides. He
informed it was too late in the season
and that was his instructions when
there is more dust now than in the
summer. Talk about a modern city;
everything in it is only half done.
l agree with you that we should have
more pumping machinery and larger
ones, and also a large stand pipe so
that we could have fire pressure any
minute in the day or night, and large
mains, but stop giving up that chest
nut, unwholesome water.
