A Grand Opera.

Few OF our music loving people
have ever seea and heard the grand
musical worl, titled the Carvalleria
Rusticana. All, We hope, know the
principal melodies OF the master
piece and we do not anticipate that
there will be seat vacant tonight
when Turrider (Mr. Parmeley) ap-
pears on the stage.
The opera is perhaps called old
fashioned and the word classic has
never been attached to the music,
but nevertheless it is grand and
fascinating.

DR.. Alvarez has added un-
consciously perhaps, another count
to the indictment against our
"best Government" and it's allies the
Planters Association, for importing
Japanese laborers aud Buddhist
priests to the exclusion of American
aud European laborers. The doctor
states that a.young Spaniard, i'm
ported by the sugar barons to labor
on an estate, became ill, aud instead
of being cared for, as his contract
provided, bic contract was returned
to him endorsed Cancelled by
mutual consent" and the poor VIC
tim was turned adrift stranger in
a strange land. Another elderly
Spanish laborer, after being stoned
by frolicsome Japanese laborers
until his bones were broken, was
left to seek relief where it might be
found, except on the estate that held
his contract and was bound to care
for him. No white laborer need
apply. Three thousand Japanese
in three weeks and more to come,
before Congress meets, you know.

Hanged Protesting His Innocence

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Michael
Emil Rollinger, who choked his
wife to death on December 16,
1898, and then set fire to the house
in an endeavor to hide his crime,
was hanged to-day in the County
Jail.
In an impassioned speech from
the gallows Rollinger protested
his innocence. He said he has
been deceived and wronged. All
his money had been taken from
him to carry the case to the SUI
preme Court, which was not done.
II say before my mother and
my children" he concluded, "that
| am an innocent man."
1t is supposed that Rollinger
killed his wife in order that he
might marry Lena Heicker, a wo-
man who hailed from the same
country (Austria) as Rollinger.
He had two trials, the first re-
sulting in a disagreement of the
jury. One of the chief witnesses
against him was his 11-year-old
son, who declared that all the
children had been sent away on
a slight pretext the day the crime
was committed.

classed with Porto Rico. The Ha-

the Union after years of appeal"
There is but one term to apply to
the Statement that the Hawaiian
people voluntarily entered the
Union, aud that is the good old
English word lying. The Hawaiian
people we're no more considered in
the matter OF annexation than were
the people Of Porto Rico. The an
nexation of Hawaii was accomplish
ed by force,as was Porto Rico, by the

flying history.

1t is interesting to note the territorial
growth of the United States. from the

the pivotal power Of the world. The

Napoleon needed money and realized by
selling Uncle Sam the territory now Gov

and parts of Minnesota. Montana and
Colorado. Sixteen years later Spain
ceded Florida. TwentysIx years went
by without changing the map, then Texas
brought another star to the constellation
In that expansion the strip of Colorado
where Crystal thrives was included and
small block of Wyoming. In 1913 we
received from Spain, California. Nevada,
Utah, most of Arizona, tho closing strip
of Colorado and the portion of New Mex
leo not annexed with Texas. 1853 saw
the remainder of Arizona acquired by che
Gld5den purchase. Fourteen years later
Russia ceded Alaska. Thus were the
eaps closed half acr DIS the continent to
the territory of Washington, Oregon, Ida
ho, part of Montana, and the last niche
OF Wyoming, acquired by discovery ID
1872, exploration of 1895, Astoria settle
mont of 1911, and approved by Spain IN
the treaty. of 1919. 1895 brought annex
alton of the Sandwich Islands, cession OF
Porto Rico in the West Indies and Guam
in the Philippines. 1899 bids fair to see
the Philippine archipelago come under
pro.cctioa OF the ULitei States.

nENTION OF THE MINES.
Whist the Weeks Work Has Developed In she
Properties of the District

Wednesdays Denver papers contained
the announcement that the Lead King
Mine had been sold to an English com
pany for 100000 and that 5000 had
been paid down. The facts in the case
are these: An English company has
paid Burnett, Smith & Tays, the owners
OF the Lead King, sum for an option on
the mine until the first of September.
The examination and report on the mine
has not yet been made by the represent
atiye OF the company, who is expected to
arrive within few days. The proposed
purchase includes group OF claims as
well as the Lead King. The. purchase
price agreed upon is not the amount
given in the published article and neither
have the owners stated the price fixed by
the contract bound by the option. The
article published is filed with errors,
stating among other things that snow
slide disclosed the ore, which is not true.
The mine was located in August 1895,
and tunnel was driven during the win
ter of 596 on n fissure vein. In March
n
shaft was SINK, and from which ore has
been shipped since that time. When
work was begun on the tunnel cribbing
was built for dump, and it was this
dump that slid dewn the mountain side
on the 9th OF April, 1897. The only ore
exposed to view by the slide was one
corner OF nugget of sulphide of copper
which weighed about 100 pounds and
may still be seen on the dump at the
mine. A number Of nuggets weighing
from 100 to 800 pounds each were also
uncovered, which were broken up and
shipped 10 the smeiter where return of
over twenty eight per cent copper was
given in addition to silver values. The

pecting work at the mouth Of the lower
tunnel. The smelter settlement sheets
show net smelter return of about $40, 100,
and the owners consider the price secured
by the option to represent more than
third the value of the property. But the
whole amount received from the sale OF
ore has been devoted to development,
which consists of $50 feet of tunnels and
drifts, and 175 feet of shafts aud upraisc
in addition to surface Improvements.
Monday work was resumed In the Inez
with all Of the contractors and most OF
the men back OF duty, Ten days ago
the prevalence of grippe had reduced the
force to such numbers that II was thought
wiss to close down until the epidemic
had passed. Work is being pushed right
along in development work and is prom
ising good results.
The Crystal Mountain Mine has been
having encouragement in the appear
ance OF the ore on the vein where they
have prospecting under way. There is
nothing new in the breast of the tunnel
but the manager considera the indica-
tions fiattering.
A force of nine men is employed at the
Burt. and development work is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. This week
a clibbing was built for retaining wall
to hold the ore which is being taken out
while opening up the property.
