CITY WORK PROGRESSES
Paving Work Moves Along Very
Satisfactorily.
GOOD JOB IS BEING DONE
Street Railway Company May Not Re-
ceive Paving Rails on Time-Mayor
Mccarthy Anticipates No Trout
BILE as to Assessments.

All of the municipal work now being
done by the city had to be suspended
yesterday, owing to the steady fail of
rain. Thus far very good progress IS
being made on the paving. The Mis-
soula gulch storm sewer showed much
advancement during the past week, and
start has been made on the sewer in
East Galena street, lately ordered by
the council About one block has been
completed by Contractor Harkins, who
mas about 16 men at work there.

ing done on the paving this season, and
the work seems likely to be finished in
.iilie' unless some unforeseen delay
arises. The granite blocks are being
ialo IN wyoming street, and the con-
crete Is nearly down in Granite street.
Inc only possibility of delay in the
conhpletlon or the paving before cold
weather is in the part of the work to
be done by the street railroad company.
me company may be delayed by the
laliufe TO receive the paving rails in
good season. The rails have been or
dered, but it cannot be told how soon
they are likely to arrive. The street
railroad company is laying its own con-
ing of the paving blocks to Tom Kinds,
who has the contract for the city's paw
ing.
Mayor Mccarthy said yesterday that
he does not anticipate much, if any,
trouble from refusal of property own
ers to pay the assessment for the paw
ing. He thought that when the paving
is completed and the property owners
see what good job has been done and
what vast improvement it is, they
will stop kicking and readily pay the
assessment for the work Under the
new law, the paving assessments can
be paid in three installments, one each
year for three years, and this will make
the burden on the taxpayers much
lighter. The West Park street
property owners were willing to
have the paving in case the
government building was secured for
that part of the city, but when they lost
that they objected to the paving. There
is nowhere that the mud is worse than
it is in West Park street, and it is be-
lieved that the people will find the
change such a good thing that they
will not carry the dispute into the
courts,

Some useful facts about appendicitis,
what it is, what causes it, and what to
do If you think you have it, We're given
in an address recently in Boston by
DR.. F. NJ. Elliott.
DR.. Elliott empha sized the importance
of sending for the doctor without de-
lay il there is reason to suspect the
presence of the disease. If it should be
found necessary to use knife, cut out
the diseased vermiform appendix, DIR.
Elliott said that every minute gained
for the doctor was equally in favor of
the patients recovery.
Most people do not know where the
vermiform appendix is located. If a
line be drawn from the right front
point of the hip bone. or lilac crest, to
the navel, the appendix is usually I'M
der the middle of the line. With gen
eral pain in the abdomen and tender
ness to pressure over this spot, fears of
appendicitis are well warranted and a
physician should be called.

the lead of corrupt politicians is in
a large measure the cause of our

There are stacks of money in the
banks of the San Juan country TO
loan on gilt edge security, but none
to advance for the development of
the best mining property, says the
Daily Mining Record. This is n
common complaint all over Colo
RADIO. The miner applies to the
bank for a loan and if he gets
hearing at all, an expert report is
demanded, and if favorable he is
told. "We will take the property
off your hands at" The price
is invariably about one-fourth the
actual valuation. And yet over
half the money in the banks Of the
state, and in improvements in the
big cities, came from the miner.
Here is consistency.

beyond the realization of any one
not perfectly familiar with the
geology of this portion of Gunnison
county. The mineral wealth which
lies beneath these mountains await
ing the advent OF capital and sys-
tematic development is beyond the
comprehension of any one who has
not studied their formations from
geological basis. For number
of years very little work, except the
annual assessment, has been done
on the majority of the claims in
the surrounding section, and in
many instances the labor was per-
formed without the least regard to
the improvement or development of
the property. If a portion Of these
claims We're properly operated upon
there is no gainsaying the fact that
they would become large producers
and prove good investments, but as
they now exist they are compare

Go where you will in the east
and you will find men who have
either themselves had disastrous
experiences in mining ventures, or
have friends who have suffered.
These men are, as a matter of course,
averse to mining in all of its forms,
and we must admit, not wholly
without reason. This state of af-
fairs has been brought about almost
entirely by unscrupulous mining
sharks who have stocked up worth
less prospects and peddled the
stock out among their friends and
acquaintances in the east. Legiti-
mate mining has suffered immeas-
urably by the natural reaction.
But our Eastern friends are gradu-
ally learning that there is a radical
difference between legitimate min
ing and stock speculation, and
confidence is beginning to be re-
stored in the heretofore doubling
element. This end of Gunnison
county certainly presents an invit-
ing field for the honest investor, to
which careful examinations viii
testify. This section in the early
days was irreparably afflicted with
mining sharks, whose dishonest
practices were harmful to a great
extent to the genuine mining en-
terpdses, but now in these latter
days no fear need be entertained
for their re-appearanees in this
locality, because their methods OF
operation are SO well known.

The time seems to be nearing
when the various trusts will have n
complete grip upon this nation.
At the present time only eleven
commodities are outside the pale
of the voracious monster which
threatens to do to the country
what the blighting insect does to
the grain fields of the farmer,
With the immense power of com
bined and unlimited capital the
trust octopus is assailing the very
basis of the country's institutions,
and restricting the liberties of the
plebeian classes by denying them
the right to existence unless they
90 to the exacting trust and pay
its exacting prices for the neces-
saries of life. The great combines
to control light, heat and power in
the trade centers, do not, perhaps,
lnJure the majority OF the people
to any great extent, but when the
large -four and cereal industries
merge themselves into a trust, as
they have done and are doing, then
is the time when the laboring man
will be in danger of finding his
wages inadequate to meet the ex-
orbitant prices the trust viii even
tually demand when it gets bolder
and stronger. The long tentacles
of the trust monster are daily be
coming tighter around the ankle of
every man who lives by his labor
or small business.
