COPPER PROCUC CTION.

1t Barely Keeps Pace with the Demand.
The chief present interest in mining
still centers in copper. The magnitude
of operations attracts universal attcn-
tlon. and the present profit of produc-
tion, of course, greatly stimulates the
quest for copper properties, search
that in California. Colorado and other
states must certainly prove successful
Already Arizona as il copper producer
Is well in line with Michigan and Mon
tana, and in other sections the stimu-
lus of demand is daily discovering
promising copper prospects.
Unlike other trusts and combines, no
amount of combination OH the part Of
leading copper producers can prevent
others from discovering aud supplying
copper, or can permanently raise or
lower the worlds price for metal
that is in such worldwide demand.
The worlds output of copper for the
past five years has increased from 324,-
bO5 tons in 1891 to 424, 1876 tons in 1898
as shown by the following figures:

Natural Question.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English
should be taught in Welsh schools.
AS a result, in 1865 a colony Of perse-
cuted Welsh miners fed from the Brit
ish tyranny and settled in the deserts
of Patagonia. These men were heroes,
and with most magnificent courage
they dared to live in desert where
not a plant would grow, where the
water was brackish and the heat in
tolerable. They were surrounded by
wild tribes of hostile savages, and
made them warm friends; they were
ruled by foreign government, and
became loyal citizens. Through long
years of want and famine they never
despaired. They have turned the desert
into a beautiful fertile country, have
become rich, number 5000 people, have
extended their string Of settlements
right across South America, own a
paying railway. and ship large crops
of wheat, wool, ostrich feathers and
auanaco skins. They left Wales to es-
cane the tyranny Of the English Ian
guage, and now, rather than talk
Welsh, they converse largely of their
freedom in excellent Spanish.

TUN ~ Ell LAW INVALID,
Judge Hallett SO Dsciles in u Cripple
Creek Case,

Judge Hallett Dscines in IL Cripple
Creek Case.
In the United States Circuit Court
at Denver Judge Hallott has rendered
a most important decision, declaring
the "tunnel aCt' of 1897 uncOnstitu-
t!Onal. and granting an injunction, as
prayed for, in the case of James j.
Gone 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 and across the Doctor, and is
now about to enter the Chief, on the
respondents search for a right of way
to develop property beyond the two
claims in its path.
An early statute Of 1861 and a recent
ncl of 1897 III. Sessions, 1SD were
cited in support of the respondents
right to prosecute the work. Judge
Hallett says:
''Ihesc acts are in nearly the same
terms ana 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 asccrtaining the need Of the
tunnel owner for right of way through
the servient estate in order to work
his own claim bencficially or for COM
pensating the damages done to the
estate appropriated to the use Of the
tunnel. In the absence of such pro-
visions the acts would seem to be in
conflict with sections IA and II, artilcc
9 of the constitution Of the state. Sec
ton II declares that private property
shall not be taken for private use eX-
cept for certain purposes: and section
- declares 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 NAV be made before
| the government has conveyed its title
| because it says in the absence of neces
sary legislation by Congress rules may
be made.
1T is not necessary to consider al
| length the meaning of the section. 1t
| is enough that we are enabled to say
! that it cannot diSplaco the constitution
of the state. The Legislative assembly

CRIPPLE CREEKS OUTPUT.



The total value OF the ore shipped
from the mines of the Cripple Creek
district during March reached the
handsome figure of $1,444,50O, nearly
S-W,OW greater than the record OF
February. but 100000 less than the
January output. when the Isabella was
shipping rock that averaged $1,000 per
ton. The tonnage of all grades was
equal to, if not greater than any month
in the camps history, but the grade
was lower. The increase over Febru-
airy was over 5000 tons.
The cyanide and chlornation plants
located in the camp, Colorado City and
Florence extracted the gold from D.
450 tons. carrying S6S4,50 worth of
the yellow metal. The following is a
record of the mills: lorado-Philadel-

MI of these works are now running at
full capacity and most of them have
big ore reserves on hand. The old Kill
ton mill at Florence, which recently
changed hands, will be in running
shape in less than thirty days, and will
nave capacity OF seventy tons per
day.
The different smcltcrs received 10000
TONS of Cripple Creek ore in the thirty
one days, Of an estimated average val
ue of $lJ per ton. The total small
smelters and assay Otnces are credited
with saving of 10000.
Several of the big mines. which were
shipping heavily in the closing month

WHAT IS. F. MEANT.
(By Lillian Quiller Couch.)

(By Lillian Qulller Couch)
On a summer evening not so very
long ago the brightest prettiest, dain-
tiest (some said "wickedest," but that
was q libeD, most bewitching, CO.
quettish, mischievous, good-hearted
girl in Hovemouth stood before the
mirror in her bedroom at the hotel,
gathering the billowy folds Of her pink
muslin frock about her waist by means
of satin sash, and looking back at
her reflection as she did so. On her
head was a pink triumph-in other
words, a shady hat-in her eyes lay
a twinkle of mischief, and her chiffon
sunshade lay on the bed.
A few minutes later, fully equipped,
Miss Mary Girlington passed through
the vestibule. There was travel
worn trunk in one corner with two
initials on it on which her eyes flick
cred with a CLEAN Of satisfaction, then
she stepped into the garden. and on
down the cliff path leading to the
beach. When this was reached she
slackened pace, sauntering, as II to
life.
The tide was out; the beach was de-
serted save for a shrimper far out by
the rock pools; the sand was smooth
and yellow as tempting to the ferrule
of a sunshade as a sheet Of fair paper
to scribbler. At any rate, the temp
tation seemed too great for the fer
rule of Miss Girlington's sunshade;
with nonchalant air she prodded and
scooped little tunnels in it; then. with
elaborate carelessness she trailed the
pretty sunshade up and down in some
thing a trihe more shapely. When this
was done she gave a surreptitious
glance of her merry eyes toward the
cliff path, then sauntered on across
the beach, trailing her sunshade as
! she went
Soon after the dainty pink figure
rocks a second figure came down the
cliff path to the beach A man this
! time of moderate height, honest fea-
lures, and tanned complexion. He
strolled along aimlessly, smoking a
cigar and looking alternately out to
sea, and at the surrounding scenery
The solitary shrimper seemed no in
truder on the deserted beach, and the
newcomer spread his arms slowly, anc
gave huge stretch Of contentment.
Its good to be in England for q
time" he thought, "and free-and idle
in little place where no one knows
or cares, whether you're a power ir
the land or trupper from town. Bu

Then, like the pink lady, he saun
tered on. but now his eyes were OF

WHY THE DWARF DISAPPEARED
z Experience of n Physician with
One Short Leg.

Amusing Experience Of Physician with
One Short Leg.
From the Columbus Press-Post:
once In while one runs across
good story that is true, and one of the
best that | have heard recently was
told me at Pomery couple of days
age and vouched for as absolute truth"
said w. T. Uhlmer, Pittsburg COM
mercial tourist, at Smiths. 1T is said
to have happened to a well-known
Meigs county physician, who is a jolly
good fellow and appreciated the story
too we'll to keep it a secret. 1t seems
that the medical man has a leg that
was shortened something like a foot
Or more by an attack of inhammatory
rheumatism.
"In walking he uses cane pecu-
Harly constructed, 50 that instead of
going completely to the ground with
the short foot he places it upon a sort
of rest built upon the cane, which is
steel supported. When standing he
frequently shifts from one foot to the
other and when standing upon his
dWarfed limb he loses something more
than foot in height. Beyond the af-
f1icted leg he is powerfully developed
in every particular. One day he got
on board a Ohio river steamer going
to Cincinnati Later he took a no.
tion for drink of whisky and went
back to the barroom. AS he entered
the bartender was engaged in arrang-
ing the glasses on the sideboard and
paid no attention to him until he
called for the drink. At this time the
physician was resting serenely on the
short leg, his head barely showing
above the rather high bar. When the
| bartender had mixed the drink and
| turned about again the medical man
had reversed his supports and was
standing upon his game leg, to all ap-
pearances a decisively athletic fellow
The dispenser of good cheer looked
around a moment inquiringly, leaned
over the bar searchingly. and finally
turned to the doctor with a stare of
blank questioning. Where in the HI
did that id dwarf go?' he asked
pointedly. 4 don't know; didn't see
him, said the doctor. Mix me a tod
dy.' He drank the second mixture
paid for it, then cody drained the
first, while the barkeeper looked on
in astonishment. AS the medical man
walked toward the door without the
use of the cane in a sort of hop 60 and
fetch-it style. he turned about mo-
ment. 4 guess it's on you, isn't it?' he
asked. The barkeep said it was"
