The Importance Of mica in electrical
and other industries makes the discov-
cry of new deposits of this material q
matter of some interest. One of the
most recent finds of the mineral is in
Chanting, China. The Chinese make
use of the substance only for lanterns
and transparent pictures, and it has
been found in several other parts of
the empire, but the industry has never
been developed. Hitherto permission
has been refused To open mines, and
the samples obtained have been ac-
quired from the natives or from indi-
vidual prospectors interested in the
subject. The matter now, however, is
said to be receiving the attention of
European mineralogists, particularly
Germans, and the mines may be start
ed under modern methods. Canada
aud India furnish the chief supply of
mica, and there Is an ever-increasing
demand for it.

There is now on exhibition at the

This ore came from the Barrett
mines of the Copper King of Arizona,
and the assay shows that 1t is a msgni-

tons of ore in sight fully as rich as the

The gold in the sample assayed is

YELLOW JoURnALIsM.

The Denver Republican OF last
Wednesday morning contained a
half column article giving the al
legged details of the traffic arrange
ment entered into this week be-
tween the Santa Fe and Colorado
Southern. For a newspaper sup
posed to have some knowledge OF
conditions and geography in Colo
RADIO, the ARTICLES a brilliant ex-
example OF metropolitan ignor-
ance, or Indifference TO the IN
terests of interior towns in Colo
RADIO. The article does not
contain a statement that is correct,
and the alleged facts given are evi-
IDENTIFY the outgTowth of a diseased
imagination or an attempt on the
part of some penny -a-liner who has
grievance to vent his petty spite
upon La Junta.
The first statement made in the
article is that Charles Dyer was
made general superintendent OF
the western division, with authority
extending from Dodge City, Kan,
to El paso, Texas, and TO Denver.
Mr.. Dyer himself denies this state
ment. He will remain division
superintendent as heretofore, with
headquarters at Pueblo, instead of
Denver as stated in the Republi-
can. His authority is simply ex-
tended so as to include control and
management of the traffic of the
Colorado Southern over the Santa
Fe tracks between Denver and
Pueblo.
The Republican then makes the
startling announcement that the
"Santa Fe trains will run through
to Trinidad without break put
ting La Junta off the main line and
possibly leaving it without trains.
The big pull over the La Junta
hill has always been = drawback
and the Santa Fe will not now
need to 60 to that town at ALL

located on the main line between
Denver and Trinidad. and that the
La Iunta hill is not known to exist
outside OF the diseased imagination
OF the writer OF the article.
Many prominent citizens OF this
city are indignant and surprised at
the Republicans exhibition OF ig-
norance They cannot understand
how the leading "what is it news
paper of Colorado could make
such an egregious error or why
they should publish such a series
OF Measurements that cannot but
result in being detrimental to La
Junta. The Republicans subscrip-
ton list in this city will be mater
tally decreased on account OF this
inexcusable exhibition OF dense
ignorance.
The true story of the arrange
ment entered into between the
Colorado Southern and the Santa
Fe is very simple matter and its
influence will hardly be percepti-
BILE in La Junts. The through
trains OF the Colorado Southern
will be run over the Santa Fe
tracks between Denver and Pueblo
and the Santa Fe freight and pass
enger traffic destined for the south,
which has hitherto been transferred
in this city, will be run through
from Pueblo to Trinidad over the
Colorado Southern tracks instead Of
coming around by way of La Junta.
La Iunta will not lose one train and
the traffic is OF such small conse-
quence that it's loss will hardly be
noticed. The new traffic arrange
ment will in reality be an advan-
tage to La Junta. The new con-
ditions will be operative August

to Denver after that date, instead
OF laying over al Colorado Springs

srvnrso FOR An ISSUE.


The democratic party is sadly in
need OF an issue. The chief
moguls OF the party do not seem to
be able to agree upon one, their
opinions being widely diversified
as to the issue that should be made
prominent in the campaign OF 1900.
The chief consideration OF the
democrats is success. and most
any old issue will do providing II,
is a vote getter. George H.
Keenan,, president OF the Associa-
ton OF National Silver Clubs, says
that free silver coinage IS a back
number, and the democrats would
have no chance OF winning on that
old issue. He does not believe
that anti-imperialism will be made
the chief or even conspicuous
plank for the reason that the best
men in the democratic party either
approve the policy of the admins
tration or feel that the present
course has been inevitable and
must be fought through TO success.
He does not think that it would be
wise to play the trusts very heavily
as political card as some OF the
leading ones have pretty good
stake in the democratic party.
This apostle of democracy does
not leave Mr.. Bryan leg TO stand
on Free silver, anti-expansion,
and trusts are the three chief fac
tors OF Mr.. Bryan's political
thunder. Without them he would
be at sea with neither rudder, sail
nor compass. Mr.. keenan, has
probably been moved by the spirit
OF republicanism, and when he
finds a solution OF the riddle of
where he is at he will probably find
himself lined up in the republican
ranks.

New instructions in regard

New instructions in regard to
the stamping of checks were re-
Gently promulgated from the de-
partment OF the interior. The in
structions rule emphatically that
all makers OF checks shall be re-
quired to stamp their own checks
and to cancel the stamps with
their initials, and with the day,
month and year in which the
check is presented at the bank. A
majority OF the banks have been
stamping the checks and collecting
the two cents in payment for the
stamp from the maker. Finally
some Of the banks began to offer
stamped checks free of charge as
an inducement to people 10 do
business with them. The govern
ment, OF course, did not lose any
thing because of the practice, but
Uncle Sam does not propose to
allow bank officials to use his
revenues as bait for business.
