FERRIS-HAGGARTY STOCK.
Made from pure grape cream Of tartar

i oIoth.
Mr.. George Ferris, president of the
Ferris-Haggarty Copper Mining COM
pauy, left Monday night for his old
home in Michigan, where he expects to
interest Michigan capital in the COP
per mining enterprise of Battle Lake.
He hopes to dispose of a large block of
the Ferris-Haggarty stock. Copper is
booming, and there will be difficulty
in inducing capital to take hold of a
copper mine like the Ferrfs-Haggarty.
The purpose of selling stock at this
time is to secure sufficient capital to
put in the necessary hosting and
pumping plant and other machinery
for working the mine on an economical
basis. Upon Mr.. Ferris return from
Michigan he and Mr.. Miller, treasurer
of he company, will go to Denver to
buy the hosting and pumping plant.
1t is the intention to use a S0-horse
power boiler. They hope to have the
plant installed at the mine and in op-
Grafton before April LIST.
Returns were received this week
from two 1S-ton carloads of the Ferris
Haggarty ore sent to the Argo smelter,
Denver. amounting to 50, 400, or a little
over so a ton.-Rawlins Republican.

GOING INTO GRAND ENCAMPMENT
Colorado Legislature Asked to Build
a Wagon Road.

Residents Of BOlder, and Routt
county, are earnestly working for the
establishment of a state road from
Ward, Boulder county, to Steamboat
Springs.
Ten thousand dollars has already
been appropriated from the internal
improvement fund for this purpose,
but as this amount is not sufficient for
the construction of the road the entire
distance an additional $4,000 has been
asked for, a bill having been introduce
ed by Representative Byron of Boul-
der county for that purpose.
The distance from Ward to Steam
boat Springs is SO miles. For a por-
ton of the distance the route contem-
plated is rugged, crossing the Cont
of the Grand and other tributaries of
the Colorado river. After crossing the
range. however. the line OF the road
will be comparatively inexpensive. 1t
is thought by the promoters of the
road that the s25. 900 asked for from
the internal improvement fund will
be amply sufficient to build the entire
distance to Steamboat Springs, an av-
erage cost of $269 per mile.
The special Importance Of this
road, as represented by Representative
Byron, william CrOmptOn of the
Morning Star mine at Ward. and other
residents of Boulder county is believ-
to be one of the most important cop
per sections of the United States when
it shall have received the necessary
development.
The Republican was the first to call
attention to the existence of al I'M
mense copper belt reaching from
Steamboat Springs to the Battle Lake
p p mines. which are now begin
ming to attract the attention OF capital.
Several prospects along this belt have
developed to some extent, and have
shown that with investment Insufficient
capital they can be brought into profit
BILE production. 1t is argued by those
interested that the construction of this
road will be an important factor in
the development of these prospects by
giving the mine operators an easy
route to railroad transportation, and
in so doing demonstrate the value Of
the section ~traversed and encourage
the extension Of the railroad into that
part of the state.
1t is also stated that the distance
from Steamboat Springs to Grand En-
campment is but so miles, and that the
roads to Hahn's Peak, Whisky Park
and other Colorado camps are good,
and the building of a road from Ward
to Steamboat Springs would result in
bringing all of the ores from those
camps and the others i'm the copper
belt ITO Denver by a route that would
be as short and cheap as that o
used via Fort Steele and Cheyenne.

head as. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company ct al. Mr.. Huntington alleges,
and the allegation is incontrovertible, that
he is an Indispensable party 10 the suit.
He alleges further that he was never per-
sonaily served with the subpoena in the

upon the Caretaker of his temporary

The money placed in the banks of CAL

increasing at the tate OF nearly SO 900 a

two: years the total inCrease in deposits
has amounted a. $50000.6G0 in round fig
.Ures. That rate OF Increase in the judg-
ment Of tho Bank Commissioners is con-
tinuing. This astonishing fact will be
stated in the fort thcoming report of the
Bank Commissioners, wh ch VIII probably
be IN print next month. The conditions
under which an Increase of $50 900 in
the bank deposits in California has been
effected are sufficiently unique TO deserve
passing notice at least. The people OF the
State have had two dry years TO contend
with and the financial depression of 1898
has affected conditions apprec,ably dur
ing the period mentioned although the re-
CoVery has been steady. The Bank Com
missioners take the view that the State
has demonstrated in this matter that it
mas great rcCupeTatlVe powers ana pro-
0uCing capacity. and that the financial in
stituuoNs of the State are prosperous and

posits during twenty-tOur months are

THAT WEARY ELEVATOR
THAT DOES NOT ELEVATE
CUsToM-HoUSE NUISANCE THAT
EXCITES CUSS- SWORDS.
The Officers and Public Pant Up the
Stairs While the Machine Sleeps
In It's Shaft.

Down In the Custom house, in the an
cient Postofice building, whose exterior
presents the appearance of AN eczema IN
cement there is an elevator that does not
elevate.
1t was not always there Prior to the
administration of Judge Hager as Col
lector the stone and iron stairs had borne
the wear and tear of generations OF clerks
and brokers. But the Judge looked upon
those stairs and disliked them. Senator
Wade of Ohio was past master In pro
family. He was sent by Grant to inYesu-
so voluminous as to be Incompatible with
his opportunity to investigate. Then 1t
was said that Wade, of course, took only
a cursory view of the island.
The law makes the Collector Of Customs
the custodian of the Government build
ing. Those who heard Judge Hager on
came to call him the cusst todian:
However, he prevailed on the Treasury
Department to sink a shaft through the
venerable pile and put therein hydraulic
elevator. The same power ran it and the
judicial lift in the Appraisers building
which carries Judges TO the seat OF Judg-
ment, clients to be plucked and lawyers
who pluck them, and criminals to their
doom.
The Custom-house elevator, barring oc-
Casional disabilities ran steadily through
three administrations until eight months
ago, when ii stopped short, whether to
ever go again no fellow can find out. 1t
was reported that the boilers hdd given
out, and a contract was made all tied UP
with red tape, giving the contractors eight
months to put in a new one, when bus-
ness man would have had it done in eight
days.
All summer the officers and the public
have puffed and painted up the stairs,
while the elevator sleeps in It's shaft. The
contractors time was up the 1st of Sep
tember, and invitations were out for an
opening in the box at which the Col
lector, Surveyor and Naval Officer were to
receive and entertain the lame and halt
and celebrate the return of the prodigal
machine to it's duty. But on that day
the box was gathering dust behind the
grilled door and the long procession of
clerks and brokers cussed and puffed it's
way upstairs. In the Appraisers building
II is as bad. Prisoners are thinking of
applying for habeas corpus because that
climb comes under the be- bead Of Of cruel u and
ment of the United States, which has just
licked Spain and is reaching out for in
sular barbarians to elevate them, is In
capable of getting a go on one hydraulic
elevator.
