Insects and Forest Fires.

There Is = close connection and to q
certain extent interdependence be-
tween the relations of forest fires to in
sect ravages, and insects to forest fires,

tofungous diseases, which are not obvi-
GUS at first sight. DR.. A. D. Hopkins, in
a report on the insect enemies of the
forest in the northwest, treats fully Of
this subject. Trees dying from injury
by fires or weakened in vitality offer
favorable conditions for the multipli-
cation of vast numbers of destructive
insects. Moreover, the trees which
have been killed by insects furnish, In
their fallen branches and partially de-
cayed trunks and dry bark, n most ia
vorable propagating ground for fires.
It is, of course, well known that forest
trees weakened by disease contribute
to the multiplication of insect enemies

The Running Race.

Over five hundred people, at least that
was the estimate, witnessed the running
race yesterday on the track Of the old
Fair grounds.
The race was between Wes Smiths
little bay, Nora, and the big gray mare
of Thsrp Brothers. Both the contest
ants were confident that they had the
best horse and backed their judgment
literally.
Sam Pollock was up for the Smith
horse Nora and Bert Gaunt, quite we'll
known jockey, for the Tharp Brothers.
Charles w. Arnett, who is looked upon
as the Ferguson OF the Western Slope as
a starter, did the act in most excellent
style. The horses got away in most ex-
csllent manner, being pretty near an
even start.
The gray mare took the lead for the
first hundred yards but lost it at that
distance to Smiths animal Nora, who
had been trained to go the distance and
this counted in the end as it always
does.

FAIR OR UNFAIR, WHICH?
Man Claims he is UniustIy Heidi
Sells Goods Without License
and is Arrested,

William Petit, man selling patent
knife and scissor sharpener is in Jail.
He says he will stay there good long
time before he pays what he terms an
unjust fine imposed upon him by Police
Magistrate Sweeney.
He. was arrested by Marshal Allison
Saturday night while selling these knife
sharpeners on the lot adjoining Wads-
worth's, He claimed that he had per-
mission OF the mayor and would not pay
license. He had abundant authority to
show that in selling a patented article
he was not compelled to pay license.
according to the U. s. Statutes.
He was fined $500 dollars and costs
for his first trial. While being commit
ted he refused to deliver over his money
to Marshal Allison and Lorin Staley,
city attorney, and resisted the officers
and was again taken before Justice
Sweeney and for this offense he was fined
81 90 and costs.
Petit is rather gentlemanly looking
man. He is accompanied by his wife,
who has been working strenuosly today
to secure her husbands release.
Mayor Ella says he did not give the
man his permission to sell the article.
He was shown the quoted authorities
which said that he was permitted to cell
but Mayor Ella even then refused to
grant him letter that he could sell
without license. What he did say was,
that as far as he was concerned he would
not molest him.
The fines and costs amount to nearly
forty dollars and this does seem to be an
immense sum to have to pay for a viola
ton of an ordinance which may and may
not be right. Again, the man was not a
criminal and it is questionable whether
he had not tho right to defend himself,
because he was having his valuables
taken a way from him.
In great many instances such mat
ters could READILY be adjusted without
subjecting a man who is apparently a
fair man and an honest man
to the indignity Of an arrest.

Of, that he has the right to sell the arti-

SAW THEM SURE.
Matt Kavanaush1 Formerly Of
This City Runs AGAINST Ban
dts Now Bein4 Pursued

Ii Matt Kavanaugh, formerly OF this
city and now of Rangely, did not have a
conversation with the Arizona bandits a
few days ago then there is another and
even worse band of lawless individuals
roaming over the country. who should
be apprehended for the manner in which
they ride and travel with free hand
which is out against everybody.
Mr.. Kavanaugh had some bear traps
set at a short distance from his ranch
house on White river. According to
custom he goes 20 see these traps several
times week.
About the time that Jenkins and Ty
Ter were killed north of Thompsons he
went out to examine these traps and ran
plum into band of three bad men. He
was told in no uncertain terms to throw
up his hands. when he was seen by the
bandits, for doubtless they were such.
and he did so without any hssitancy
whatever.
De was asked his business and gave
them knowledge of his bear traps. He
was told to point them out. He showed
them where one of the traps was hidden
and was then asked to SHOW the other,
which he did, short distance away
from the first one shown.
The willingness OF Mr.. Kavanaugh dis
armed their suspicious and he was asked
if he had any -four. He responded that
he had and the leader at once ordered
one of the men to go with him to the
house and obtain the -four.
All the time OF the parley between
himself and the bandits he was covered
with gun, even to his home. They
never took their eyes off OF him or the
gun which he carried in the holster OF
his saddle.
Mr.. Kavanaugh's description Of the
men tallies exactly with that given by
the Arizona authorities.
The leader Of the gang was under
sized. with shrill and equeaky voice,
not unlike a womans. Another OF the
men is stoop shouldered, and always
laughing. The other man was tall and
powerful.
They crossed Texas and Missouri
creeks and went to the White river
which they swan. They crossed the
river at point called Wagon Hound and
which leads directly to the Hole in the
Wall" country.
Matt Kavanaugh says he has run up
against many tough crowd in the years
that he has been in the west but never
quite 30 tough one as the one he en-
countered near his home He is con-
vinced since reading the descriptions OF
the men, since coming from Rangely,
that they are the persons sought.

THE LA SAL DISTRICT.
Another Interesting Letter From
The Sentine's Correspond
ent in That Country.

June 9th, 1900.
Editor Sentinel:
1t begins to look now as il the La Sal
country was to have formidable boom
after all this season if new discoveries
continue as they have been 80 far this
spring.
The latest addition to the boom basis
is the discovery of big quartz vein last
Wednesday on Wilson Mesa about one
mile from the Basin, on the south slope
of Gold mountain. The rock is a pure
white quartz, literally lmpregnated with
free gold and from assays made by 8.
Antics, the Castleten assayer, the ore
has a value OF from $4,000 to $2,4O0 per
ton.
The discovery was made by some new
prospsctors. recently in hero from Grip
pie Creek, consequently we are unable
to learn their names.
The new find has caused great excite
ment and general stampede is on to
the new locality and about mile of the
country has been located.
Another discovery is reported from
the north slope of Horse mountain. near
Castleton, where miner by the name Of
Kooger has opened up big vein Of gold
and copper sulphide ore.
This is the vein from which a boulder
weighing about two tons WAS brought
down the mountain last winter by q
snow slide, and for which Mr.. Kooger
and others have been prospecting since
early spring.
Ore shipments are now ready to be
made from the Little Dot on Mineral
mountain and the Aldrich property on
the north slope. These properties are
now in shape to make regular produc-
ton.
D. j. Duncan, a Colorado Springs
mining man, representing the Woods
Investment company Of Victor, was in
here this week to make report on the
Corsair property. to his people.
Everything being satisfactory the
property is to be purchased by the syn
dictate and at once developed. 1t is now
paying property from the surface and
ready to make shipments. The Corsair
is owned by L. Antics and others.
People arc coming into the country
every day. Times are lively everywhere
and the mountains are full Of ambitious
and experienced prospectors with not an
idle man to be found or even a man to
bs employed. All who can get grub are

Take, as an example, the Treadwell
mine, of Douglas island, Alaska. It is
one of the best-paying gold quartz prop
critics in the world. Its owners have
drawn big dividends from it yearly. 1t
is paying better now than it ever did.
The rock yields, however, under 81 per
ton. Such low-grade ore could never
be made to pay the cost Of extraction If
handled in limited quantities with a.
small reduction plant. But with a mill
containing a battery of over 800 stamps
working every day and night the year
round, except the Fourth of July and
Christmas day, nearly one million tons
Of ore quarried out of a great pit are
ground to powder, and the small profit
on each ton thus worked makes in the
aggregate a handsome dividend for the
stockholders.
Nearly all the paying quartz mines in
California are being operated profitably
on the same p~rinciple-the handling of
great masses of ore daily by approved
These processes, which cost money and
demand ingenuity, great economy and
extensive experience, are the principal
features of the business nowadays.
Few fortunes are now made in mining
by lucky discoveries. Even the rich
fields of the klondike must hereafter
be worked on the principles governing
successful mining elsewhere to make
them profitable.
What has been said applies also to
the great copper properties of the coun-
try. Their owners have been successful
in operating them because their meth

6S3, 305. This enormous profit in opera
ton has not been derived from great
masses of pure or high-grade copper
ore, but from the rock which contains
only from 4 to 7 per cent Of metal in
the output of the mines. To secure such
extraordinary. results from a poverty of
materials, mining men have been re-
quired to apply the strictest rules of
economy and a thorough knowledge Of
the forces of nature to their operations.

ner indicated, suggests the use of cap
ital in large sums. The most product
i've mine in California was on the mar
ket for years for a few thousand dol
lars, but no purchaser offered to buy it.
During the first three months of this
year it paid it's owners $500. 900, and in
the course of three years it has paid
dividends amounting to nearly 1000,
900. 1t took big money to put the prop
erty in shape, but it also required the
best of engineering skill. the economical
use of every factor which was capable
I of contributing to a successful result.
The Transvaal mines-the best gold
paying properties in the world-have
been made to yield big profits through
the exercise of similar qualities. And
on these the future success of mining
will be more dependent than it has been
in the past.

The west controls the beef supply of
the world and will continue to do so.
New Mexico could double the number of
cattle within it's boundaries and there
would be a demand for all of them.
There is room in the southwest for more
capital to be invested in the stock bust
ness. OF course, the best ranges are oc-
cupied, but by developing water much
land in the territory can be turned into
good ranges. Thus far New Mexico has
been prodigal with its range land, and
by being more economical and by devel-
oping water, the ranges can support
double the number of cattle now on
them. There need be no fear of over
crowding the market for the world will

GOOD FOR HEART TROUBLE.
High Altitude Relieves the Heart of Some
of Its Work,

According to DR.. j. s. Leonhardt, of
Lincoln, Neb., the opinions generally
held that a high altitude Is impervious
to persons suffering from heart trou-
bles is about to be exploded. DIR. Leon
hardt was in Colorado for the purpose
of making experiments along this line.
He has just made a trip to the Black
Hills, and says he would call Dead
wood a Mecca for sufferers from car
diac disorders We're the sanitary con-
ditions of that town better. So far he
says he knows no reason why Denver
and the other Colorado and New Mex
leo towns should not be equally as good.
His theory is that the high altitude re-
moves h pressure from the pores of
the skin inc that the heart can per-
form it's functions with less exertions
than in localities where the air Is
denSer.
The doctor carries a delicate little in
called a sphygmometer, which
consists of an ivory pad which rests
upon the pulse, which communicates
with a small penpoint, which produces
a trace on a strip of smoked paper at
tached to a metal plate moved along by
clockwOrk. The doctor takes these pulse
tracings of n n he can conveniently
get and reserves them as data for his
Investigations. There is one form of
heart disease, enlargement Of the or

titude, and persons afflicted with this
malady should seek lower attitudes.

Santa Fe county has a very large debt.
1t amounts to nearly a million of dollars
and is about equal to one-half of the
assessed value of taxable property in the
county. People should remember, that
a large part of this debt was brought
about by the defalcations of Democratic
collectors of taxes and part of it through
e%xtravagant and dishonest management
of county finances under Democratic
administrations. Remembering this, tax
payers and property owners should at
the coming election vote for Republican
candidates for county offices, it having
been demonstrated in this county in the
past few years that Republican county
administrations are clean, honest and
capable and free from corruption and
dishonesty.
