law goes into effect in June.
The Omaha g. Grant will be trans
ferred to the trust May l. From thai
date until the refinery at Omaha is for
mally turned over the base bullion pro
duced at this smelter will be refined al
Argentine, Kansas, by the Consolidated
Kansas City and Refining company
This is for the purpose Of reduc.
ing work at the Omaha refinery, sc
that it may be shut down before the for.
NAL transfer. If it is opened up again
the Argentine works will be shut down
temporarily and the bullion diverted to
Omaha.
The Argo smelter will follow the
Grant, and then attention will be paid to
the properties in other portions of the
state. The smelter men claim that as
soon as the works are started up the full
forces Of men will be re-employed, but
that uniform schedule Of wages will he
in force. The ordinary employees at the
Globe get 81 day for eight and ten
hours work, according to particular oc-
cupation. The schedule price is s225
while at the Leadville smelters a
higher rate prevails in some instances
If it can avoid doing 90 the trust will
not recognize the spirit Of the new wage
law. There is strong probability OF an
open defiance until the matter can be
settled in the courts on the constitu.
tionality Of the law.
The length Of time that the Globe will
be shut down is a matter of some specu-
lation. There is possibility OF two
weeks limit. The works will be over
hauled, repaired and general cleaning
up made. The opening up Of the Colo
RADIO Midland and the Rio Gfande roads
will bring to the works food of ore,
which will supply the works for several
months. In this respect the shutdown
OF the Grant works need not be very
lengthy, for they were thoroughly over
hauled during the winter when the ore
supply was low during the blockades,
The Denver News adds that the effect
of the clogging Of the arteries of progress
by the trust is plairly apparent at the
branch mint, where the gold receipts last
week were 1885,, ,36928 compared with
S454, ,SOO.64 in the corresponding weel
last year.

TUNNEL ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

TUNNEL ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
In the United States Circuit court in
Denver last week Judge Moses Hallett
rendered most important decision, de-
claring the ":unnel act" OF 1897 uncon-
stitutional. He granted an injunction,
as prayed for, in the case OF James j.
Cone and Lyman Robson, against the
Roxana Gold Mining and Tunnel COM
pany.
The complainants located, in 1891, two
adjacent claims, the Doctor and Chief.
The respondent owns the Gold Standard
Tunnel, located. in March, 1892. The
tunnel has been driven through aud
across the Doctor, and is now about to
enter the Chief, on the respondents
search for right of way to develop
property beyond the two claims in it's
path.
An early statute of 1861 and recent act
OF 1897 (33, sessions, 1911 were cited in
support of ths respondents right to
prosecute the work. From the Denver
Evening Post we quote the following as
handed down by Judge Hallett:
"These acts are in nearly the same
terms, and the latter declares that a
tunnel owner shall have the right to
drive and continue the same through
and across any located or patented claim
in front Of the mouth OF such tunnel
No provision is made in either act for
ascertaining the need OF the tunnel owner
for right OF way through the servient
estate in order to work his own claim
beneficially or for compensating the
damages done to the estate appropriated
to the use Of the tunnel. In the absence
OF such provisions the acts would seem
to be in conflict with sections IA and Is,
article 2. OF the constitution OF the state.
Section IA declares that private property
shall not be taken for private use except
for certain purposes; and section Is de-
clares that it shall not be taken without
just compensation to the owner.
at is reasonably clear that the statute
refers only to such rules and regulations
as may be made before the government
has conveyed its title, because it says in
the absence Of necessary legislation by
congress rules may be made.
"It is not necessary TO consider at
length the meaning Of the section. It is
enough that we are enabled to say that
it cannot displace the constitution Of the
state. The legislative assembly Of the
state OF Colorado has attempted to give
to tunnel owners right Of way under.
ground through locations, properly
made, of,earlier date than the tunnel site,
without compensation TO such owners.
An act Of that kind 10 Of no force or
effect under the constltu ton Of the state,
and respondent will not be able to justify

OUTPUT OF THE COOK GOLD MINING
COMPANY.

COMPANY. +
Mr.. Colyin, of the Cook Gold Mining
company, reports the March output of
ore from that property to be as follows:
Two thousand tons of stamp mill ore,
which yielded, in addition to gold from
the amalgamated copper plates, 800 tons
of concentrates. Also 100 tons OF snelt-
ing ore were sampled at the State Ore
Sampling works in Black Hawk.
The manager is now engaged iu sink
ing the cage shaft an additional 100 feet,
which, when completed, will give it a
depth of 500 feet. The mine is looking
we'll in all its workings. Now that the
question of drainage has been settled, the
main shaft will be put down to greater
depth as rapidly as power drills can ac-
complish that task. Mr.. Colvin has re-
ceived instructions from the main office
of the company to sink the shaft with all
possible speed.
Returns received from smelling ore
and concentrates sold to the smelters, as
we'll as mill dirt, received since the above
returns we're telephoned to The Oh
SERVER, show that as depth is attained
the ore yields higher values than nearer
the surface.

WHY THE PARIS STRUCK.
Captain Watkins Makes Mistake in
Reading Log Book.

London, June 29-The Paris disaster
turns out to be simple matter. On
leaving Cherbourg Captain Watkins
entered the departure in the log: tSix
thirty-five p. m.," using a pencil. The
next entry was: Passing Caskets
1885" The course steered was almost
due west in order to make Lizard light.
So as to go through the passage be-
tween Cornwall and the islands the
usual practice is, if the Lizard light is
not made at a certain time, to change
the course to the south and go clear Of
the islands. On this occasion this was
impossible, as, owing to the misty
night, they could not see the Eddy
stone light. The captain consulted the
log when about opposite Eddystone.
He mistook the entry and read the time
Of leaving Cherbourg as 1885, the time
of passing Caskets, instead of 6:35, the
real time of leaving Cherbourg. Con-
sequent1y the captain judged himself
about II miles farther from the Corn
wall coast than he really was, and de-
layed changing the course by one hour,
just sufficient to run the Paris right on
the coast Even then the disaster
might have been averted if the third
officer on the bridge had put the en-
gines astern when land was first sight
ed. Captain Watkins, who had gone
down to put on his mackin tosh, rushed
to the bridge and attempted to turn
the ship instead of going astern. Even
then he just missed clearing the rocks
by half a minute. But the sole reason
for the mistake is the fact that Captain
Watkins for once in his life read the
wrong line Of his logbook. If the ship
had navigating officer, as other lines
do, the error could not have occurred
The misty night prevented seeing tho
Eddystone light and also prevented thu
sight of land till it was close at hand
But that would have been of no i'm
portance If the captain had not made q
curious slip.

Chest, was badly beaten by the social
lists. The guard of soldiers on duty
finally cleared the galleries.
At late hour last night demonstra-
tors assembled in the neighborhood of
the parliament house, government Of
fees and palace, all Of which were pro-
tected by the police. The efforts of
the latter and the civic guard to dis
perse the people we're fruitless. Fin
ally a body of mounted gendarmes re-
peatedly charged the crowd greatly
incensing the demonstrators, who
hurled stones and other missiles at the
gendarmes, who thereupon discharged
their revolvers. This also failed to
scatter the crowd and the gendarmes
finally charged with fixed bayonets and
drawn swords. Two gendarmes and
several rioters were wounded. Many
arrests were made. Numerous win
dows and street lamps were smashed
and the scuff1ing continued until after
midnight, when a heavy fall of rain
dispersed the demonstrators.
