OPERATIONS RESULTED.

Inspector Jos. Ball of the @. F.
& /. Co., arrived in the city on
Thursday last and Immediately
made preparations for re-openinx
the local coal and coke works,
which were indefinitely closed down
on May 18th. without any stated
reason. This news came as q glad
surprise to the people of Crested
Butte and better feeling at once
took possession of everybody.
About one hundred men were
put to work in the mine Monday
morning, and this force will be
gradually increased to about three
hundred as the ovens are put in
order and the lower workings of
the mine pumped out and rock
falls cleaned up.
The men returned to work upon
the same schedule of wages and
hours in vogue when operations
were suspended, viz: Ten hours
labor to constitute a days work,
the drivers to receive S2.S5 per day
as before and all other day men
their former pay. This scale will
remain in force until the state
supreme court renders its decision
upon the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law, when matters Will
be adjusted to meet the new con-
ditions, if any are imposed. With
but few exceptions, practically the
old force will be employed.
The resumption, in so far as the
management can foresee, is perma-
nent and matters viii accordingly
move with regularity. Tho en-
ployment of nearly all Of the old
force has banished the prevalent
fear that the company would ut
tempt to employ new force OF
men, and thus dispose of the ser
vices of the old force. This fact
occasioned great satisfaction.
The re-opening of the mine has
lifted the pail which had settled
over the town and caused such n
marked decline in business tran
sactions of every kind. Everything
looks brighter and bids fair to con-
tinue SO.

every death from an unknown cause |
is the result of crime, that would be
absurd, but it does argue that some
of these deaths may be the result OF
it, and that the health authorities by
not insisting upon legal investigation
make themselves parties to it.
Again there are twenty-five cases
entered as unattended. There were
eighty-siN deaths in all. Therefore a
little over one-fourth, or twenty-five
per cent of the deaths which occurred
last month, had no medical attend
ance. We pay considerable sum for
free medical attendance and we have
hospital to which Hawaiians can go
free. and yet twenty-five people die
cause of death of those who die unat-
tended? At present the writer does
not know. but in the past he has a
very vivid recollection of finding that
a former health official used to ask If
the deceased person felt hot, and if
the answer was in the affirmative the
case was booked as fever. Was he
thin and could not eat? that was a
case of consumption, and so on. The
individual in question used to say,
"What is the good of my looking at
the corpse: how can I tell by looking
what the beggar died off" He has
since passed away himself.
OF course things are not nearly as
lax as they used to be, and one knows
that the Board of Health has among
its members men anxious to do their
duty to the public, and who occupy
their position not for any hope of re-
ward, for there is no pay and much
responsibility and work. But it does
seem that the Board should wipe out
the two blots upon it's death statistics,
"cause unknown" and unattended
The last Legislature amended the
coroner's act but there is no use in hav-
ing legal machinery and then laying
it away to get dusty and forgotten. If
the Board of Health would set the ma
chinery in motion, much good would
be done. See what occurred recently
over the death of Harold Frederic.
Though no punishment followed the
Indictment of the niece and the Chris
tan Scientist, there was very strict
investigation. People do not like to
be brought up for investigation, and
there would be far fewer deaths from
unattended" if each case were prop
erly investigated by coroner's jury.
1t might be expensive for time, but
the result would be invaluable.

UNKNOWN-SIX.

In the last returns of death in the
unknown. g." This means that bu-
rial permits have been allowed in six
cases where the officials did not know
the cause of death. This is thorough
ly unsatisfactory, nay more it is
dangerous, for it is an incentive to
crime. 1t is no new subject of discus
sion, since 1880 the present writer has
been dealing with the subject under
various administrations, but without
much effect upon the official mind.
If the cause of death is unknown,
the case is evidently one for investi-
cation by the coroner. Nobody
should be buried without proper in
vestigation as to the cause, and yet
the officials of the Board of Health
calmly come forward and say six bod
les have been buried this month, but
how they came by their death we do
not know, They may have been pois-
oned, they may have been dubbed,
they may have been smothered, they
may have been wilfully neglected, or
they may have died from natural caus-
es, perfectly eXplainable, we don't
know, but there is one thing we do
know, and that is that we have given
permission to have them buried,
Thank goodness, they are off our
hands,"
Now if anyone will pause to think,
is this a satisfactory condition of af-
fairs? 1t certainly is not. Every
death whose cause is unknown is
suspicious. And everything that is
suspicious requires investigation. The
Star does not for an instant argue that

Things are not all beer and skittles
in Manila. From the American Sol
dier it appears that there are thor
oughly organized gangs in that city
who may be classed more as bandits
than as ordinary thieves. The Ameri-
can soldiers are being used as police
and evidently take considerable risks
in the exercise of their duty. One
gang has threatened to kill a soldier a
week in revenge for one of its number
being shot. 1t will take a very firm
hand to bring Manila, and later Lu-
zon, into anything like order, but II
will be done. and then the Island will
become prosperous.

If DR.. Ruggles is correctly reported
he has made some statements which
are extraordinary as coming from
scientific man. His account of the in
PRODUCTION of leprosy into the Islands
would assuredly need veritication, and
the proposal that he makes that every
one should be examined when reach
ing San Francisco hardly agrees with
his statement that the disease takes
five years to incubate and that incipi-
ent lepers may be walking round
without the health authorities know
ing anything about it. If this were a
fact, of what earthly use would his
proposed examination be. In point of
fact the interview gives the very crnde
undigested ideas of man by no
means conversant with his subject.
