Every central city furnishes one
or more examples of journalists who
have conceived the idea that ifonce
they identify themselves with the
country press few weeks of their
service will prove their indispensi-
bility. We have had lots of ex-
perience with this class and at last
have encountered one whose con-
tributions have worth and merit.
1t is the first one, and his name is
Fred Shaffer, of Denver. We have
permitted these correspondents to
contribute, using their matter once
in a while OH an off day, because
too lazy to pick up the shears and
clip something better, and have two
or three on the list now from whose
weekly grist never line has ever
been printed. Next 20 the adver-
tising agent, the fellow who wants
to furnish a weekly column of
heavy editorial discussion, political
matter, and what not, is the great
est bane of the country EDITORS life.
As a class they seem to have formed
the impression that the country
newspaper man is not even qualified
to clip readable matter from ex-
changesi that he doesn't know al
nianac philosophy, that has been
going the rounds since Poor Rich
ards time, when he meets it face to
face on an average of every sixty
days. But Mr.. Shaffer says he is
Just d common newspaper man, not
journalist, and his letters bear
him out. The Journal has been
running them about month, and
already We hear people commenting
on them and watching for the next
one. He chronicles news matters
of the state that are live and up to
date; people that Our people know
are mentioned, IL ever so casually.
That's what interests. People who
find occupation in studying the vir-
tues, or delving in the alleged phil
osophy OF the neurological char
acters Of ancient history, have no
usc iot newspaper. A live, mp to
date newspaper, would starvc to
death i'll community of a million
of these. Newspaper patrons want
to read and talk about men and
matters of today. And they don't
want too much long-winded logic,
either, no matter how sound and
substantial 1t is. They goto books
for that class ofteatling. -Telluride

rTHE COMMITTEE on mines

and mining of the house of
representatives at Washington has
acted favorably on the bill to pro-
vide cabinet officer to be known
as the secretary of mines and min
ing. This is the result of the agi-
tation begun effectively by the In
ternational Mining congress which
met in Denver three years ago.
Another mining measure favorably
acted upon establishes mining ex-
pertinent stations in each of the
mining states similar to the agricul-
tural experiment stations, and pro-
vides for the appointment of a gov
ernment geologist at $4,000 per
year and an assayist at S., 1000 in
the several mining states. These
officers are supposed to furnish as
says, issue public bulletins and con-
duct explorations of mining regions.

resources rises above parti-

fact, however, that Denver now has
a paradox on her hands. The daily
papers that have displayed loud
colors of loyalty have lowered them

has always been supposed to be op-

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
RAPID TRANSIT IN NEW YORK.
Present Progress of Work and
Methods Pursued

Work on the New York rapid tran
sit tunnel, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is now progressing at a rate
which gives reason to hope that this
great work may be completed within
the contract time. Just here it would
be we'll to explain that, strictly speak.
ing, the new road should be known as
a subway, and not by its popular des-
ignation of tunnel and this for the
reason that of the total 20 miles to be
built. not more than about three miles
will be laid in a tunnel proper, that is
to say, in one which is excavated by
driving horizontally through solid
material at a depth Of several feet be-
low the surface The term subway is
applied to that portion of the road
which will be built by making an
open excavation, building within it
the steel and concrete walls and roof
Of the subway and then filing in
around the structure and restoring the
original surface of the road. Com
menciug from the downtown terminus
the first stretch of the tunnel en-
countcred will be that which will ex-
tend beneath Park avenue and Forty
second street. The next section Of any
Importance will be that reaching
from One Hundred and Fiftieth street
10 Fort George; while on Che eastward
branch Of the line there will be sec
tons Of tunnel where the road passes
beneath the northwestern corner Of
Central park and beneath the Harlem
river.
The subway is being constructed by
what is known as the cutand-coveT
method A short length Of galloway
is erected on the western side Of the
street and with its assistance the ex-
cavation is carried down to the re-
luired depth, the material being SHOW
v!ed into the galloway buckets,
drawn up and loaded into carts which
carry 1t to a convenient dumping
place AS the subway is 70 occupy

sary to cut away the whole Of the
underlying material below the tracks
