Washington, Nov. 27.-The annual re-
port Of the supervising architect men
tlons the Denver mint$on further
than to say that the progress made by
the contractor has been nose unsatis-
factory. To date $3.50. 7S7 has been ex.
pended on this building, while $11O,213
is covered by contract liabilities, leav-
ing $13S.9SS for interior finish. It Is
thought this amount will cover the en-.
tire cost Of interior finish, plans hav-
ing been prepared for finish simple,
but effective, which is not extravagant.
Plans and specifications for the interior
finish have now been completed, but no
advertisement for bids will be issued
until the department has some assur-
ance that the cOrnice viii be complet-
ed and the roof finished. Although
anxious to let the new contract. the su-
pervising architect says he has ex-
hausted means at his hands for having
the superstructure completed and is
now at the mercy of Contractor McIn-
tyre. =.

Little has been said. and probably
as little thought, OF the benefcent
work done by the railroads in aiding
foot for the relief Of STRICKEN Calves
ton. Thousands OF refugees from that
city received free transportation to any
part OF the couotry, and immense
quantities OF supplies were rushed for
ward without charge. This ready re-
sponse to the cry OF human needs char
acterized all the great railway systems
of the country, the express, telegraph,
and telephone companies. The cash
value OF the services thus rendered is
as impossible to estimate as the
amount of human suffering and misery
they helped to alleviate.

FROM STRATTON'S
INDEPENDENCE

London, Nov. 27.-(Herald- Republi-
can Special.-Mr. Hammond says in
his report that on account of the rob-
bing Of the ore bodies the great STRAIT
toms Independence mine has been left
in condition which makes close es-
timntion of the ore reserve difficult, as
the available ore. as far us the present
development extends, win not exceed
12O, ,00O tons Of gross value Of $780,
600. which will give net yield Of ST.
600, 600 for dividends.
In common with the other ore depos-
its, poor horizons occur IN the Cripple
Creek district, and to what depths 1t
will be necessary to sink before other
zones Of payable liberalization are
found cannot be determined at present
without systematic development.
This problem is especially difficult Of
determination in the case of STATIONS
Independence, as there are other deep
er Developments in this part Of the dis
trict.
Two courses are open to the COM
pany, says Mr.. Hammond.
The first Is to devote the net earn
ings solely for dividend purposes.
The second alternative is to appro-
pirate $4sSOO Of the net earnings to
payment Of dividend, leaving the bal
ance for the most complete system Of
exploration Of this horizon. and partic-
ularly Of that section below the old
workings.
This policy. contemplates the pay
ment Of dividends derived from the
present ore reserves to the extent of
$4SS,O for one year, inclusive of the
current quarter. ..,1
The expenditure of the balance is
outlined for the plan Of development.

county from trying to collect the tax
based on that assessment.
The suit has been in the courts for
three years and while 1t was pending
the Tramway company has paid Its
taxes on the state boards valuation.
This was done under an agreement
made between the district court, the
county attorney and counsel for the
plaintiff company.
The total amount due the county in
unpaid taxes and interest in the four
years amounts to $4,000. The Tram
way company paid its taxes for 1899 on
the state boards valuation few days
ago. Besides the difference between
the two boards assessments for 1880
there is due the county interest on half
of the tax from March 1st and interest
on the whole amount from August 1st
The decision of Judge Palmer is to
the effect that the Denver Tramway
Company is a street car and not
railroad or railway company. In sup
port of this position many authorities
are cited.
By this decision it becomes the prov
ince of the county assessor to assess
the company's property instead Of its
being done by the state hoard Of equal
iZatiOn.
The case will doubtless be appealed
to the Supreme court Of the state.

time the Perryville players left the diamond.
OF course the Pennington players protested
loud and long against the calling OF the game
under such circumstances, but the Perryville
team seemed to think five innings constituted
n ball game, when the score was in their
favor. If that is the treatment visiting teams
are to receive at Perryville, it is not likely
that any of them will be seen there a second
time Perryville has a good team and their
grounds fixed up nicely, and should not spoil
the game by such methods. Mack!nsOn
pitched fine ball, and Dunsife put up n good
game both at the bat and in the field Farm
ington was heinz outbatted, but was putting
up rather the steadier game in the field, and
it was anyhody's game had it not been termin-
ated SO abruptly by Umpire Crawford
