York. Hartford, Providence and Boston.
The interchange of business between them.
the scattering of personal interests from
one to another. resulting IN large part from
the ease of access to and fro, are signs Of a
new condition which has not yet seen its
full development Meanwhile the brains
of inventors are busy with schemes to still
further reduce the travel time on such runs,
and to bind the cities yet closer together.
The question which naturally arises in the
light of these changes is whether eventual
ly the railroad-traversed stretch Of terri
tory from. say, Boston to Washington, will
not constitute virtually continuous city as
regards habitation, with the population
more dense at the points of actual munich
pal organization.
This. of course. is long look ahead. Yet
II Is not unreasonable in view of what has
already developed in the course of COM
para lively few decades. If the percentages
of city increase and of suburban increase
advance as past experience justifies the
observer in anticipating 1t will not be many
years before it will be difficult to determine
the precise line of demarkation between the
city and the country along such lanes of
travel and habitation as that now stretch
ing from Washington to New York, or from
New York to Boston.
The ultimate effect of this movement, if
continued, will be to minimize the evils of
the congestion in great centers, to check
the tenement-house danger, to encourage
semi-country life on the part of the poorer
classes. and thus to relieve the city of many
problems which otherwise, under the steady
and unchecked influence of the city-drift
would grow to alarming proportions

The cityward drift which the full figures
of the census enumerat ton are expected to
reveal would be far more alarming as a So
Geological tendency were Il not for the COIN
cidental development of the transportation
facilities While congestion in cities is as
suredly not wholesome it is new greatly
offset by the opportunities for suburban
life which the electric car offers Thus the
census will show more than the mere hud-
ding Of people in certain centers. 1t will
disclose the opportunity which modern
science affords 10 many to live within easy
reach Of a city and yet avoid the more disa-
greeable features of city life. 1t Is to be
hoped that the statistics will be so classI-
fled as TO note this condition more or less
exactly. so as to permit a measurement Of
the suburban growth Of the cities as COM
pared with their growth inside the strictly
urban limits.
The development of the inter-urban traffic
and of the suburban traffic has been so pro-
nounced as to very nearly eliminate the

Mr.. Haldeman.. Statement.

The statement of w. B. Haldeman of
Kentucky at Indianapolis on Wednesday,
that the money with which the gold demo-
Gratis conducted their separate campaign in
1896 was contributed solely by democrats
puts the stamp of falsehood upon the charge
which called the Goebel election law into
existence.
The republicans had carried Kentucky in
the state race of 1895, and again in the ma
tional race of 1896. The democrats were
angry. They had controlled the state for so
many years that the loss of it through a
division in their own ranks was very hard
to bear. Casting about for some explana-
ton other than the true one they raised
the cry of bribery and corruption. The
charge was made that Mr.. Hanna had
bought the gold democrats out of hand and
paid all of their bills. and that this transac-
| ton. coupled with swindling in republican
strongholds. had caused the defeat of the
Bryan and Sewall electors
The cry proved popular, and Senator Will
lam Goebel, a prospective candidate for
governor used II TO force a new election
bill through the legislature. The measure
was extreme. and so unfair in all of its pro-
visions that a man less aggressive and less
leader in the legislature would have found
1t too heavy to carry. But Mr.. Goebel knew
his following. and he played upon it with
the most infiammatory appeals TO preju-
dices- He and his lieutenants asserted that
such a measure was necessary to protect
the state from the moneyed influences of
MIR. Hanna, and that unless it became a
law the gold democrats would again be in
the market for Mr. Hanna's DOODLE Mr.
Haldeman was mentioned by name in their
denunciations.
Under such circumstances Mr. Goebers
election measure became a law and its in
luence upon his personal fortunes and upon
the fortunes of the state is altogether the
saddest and darkest chapter of the political
history of the day. And now comes Mr..
Haldeman and declares that not a dollar
OF the money used by the gold democrats
in 1895 was subscribed outside Of democratic
circles. So that the Goebel election law
which has wrought such appalling disaster.

Inadequate Brakes ON Street Cars,

Insufficient brake protection on electric

conclusion Is that the ordinary single chain

way to air or electric friction brakes in
order to establish the greatest possible
safety In this respect. Especially must
this be true of roads which extend over
steep grades, as practically all of the
street roads do, at least in this part of the

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligeucer.
REPUBLIC, May 30-In the bins of the
Republic Reduction Companys custom
mill are 100 tons of $40 ore from the Black
TAIL San Poll, Pearl and Ben Hur mines.
The ore is from the dump of the proper
ties, as low grade was wanted for trial.
This is all the ore contracted for until
the treatment is given a thorough test.
The ore from each mine will be treated
separately in order to enable the company
to estimate the cost of each for the pur-
pose of contracting for shipments.
The machinery works smoothly and
there is no doubt that the mill will be
success. 1t VIII require a week or ten
days before anything definite can be
learned as to the success. At such time
a full description and Information of the
treatment and the construction of the
mill will be given to the public. Should
the treatment be successful the mill will
have to be enlarged to three times its
present capacity, or new mill construct
ed to supply the great demand for treat
ment from dozen smaller properties
now awaiting the outcome.
The Black Tail Company has arranged
to get pressure from the Quilp compressor
for two drills, and with the Lone Pine and
San Poll using air drills. these three mines
could ship enough ore to furnish a mill
double the present capacity of the pres
ent new mill.
The first intention was to get all the
ore for experimenting from the Republic
Gold Mining Company, as it would be
handy to get to the mill. but 1t was found
the lowest grade that could be obtained
from the mine In any quantities would be
SIS ore.
The shipment of bullion from the Noun
tain Lion mine continues regularly. The
amount of the first months cleanup will
average $1,000 per day. or $4,000 for the
month. The ore that has been treated so
far is $40 ore. There are great quantities
of 500 and $50 ore in the lower levels that
will not be treated for the present. The
mill Is looked upon as great success.

help but make the mine a big dividend

Complicated Question Decided by

quent, and their continued notice is neces-
sary to those who would keep informed,
says the Mining and Scientific Press. The
latest reverses all previous rulings OF the
land office since 1884, and ia of particu-
lar interest to the holders of unpatented
mining ground. Summarized. the case is
as follows:
In Cripple Creek district. Colorado, on
Carbonate hill, the Carbonate Hill COM
pany owned and patented the Hustler
and New Year claims adjoining. The
westerly end center of the Hustler claim
was located within other ground owned
and patented by the Fort Wilcox com
pany. BY lend center is meant the CEN
trail point on the end line of claim To-
Gated $50 feet from either corner stake.
The Washington authorities rule that the
end center may be located either within
ground already patented or not patented,
as 1t may happen to be.
The westerly end lire Of the Hustler
Joined the side line of the New Year.
and If a new survey was to be made
the old locators of the Hustler would
have to go up the hill 600 feet farther in
order to establish an end line. the center
of which should be clear Of the Fort Will
cox ground. The Carbonate Hill COM
pany had done 81 900 worth of development
work for the two claims and $500 of Ii
was performed on the New Year. If the
Hustler claim had to be relocated at
point 600 feet distant from the New Year.
then the extra patent work done on the
New Year would be wasted and the Hus-
tier would have to be patented all over
again; as the two claims We're no longer
contiguous"
The receivers receipts for the Hustler
and New Year were cancelled in so far
as they applied to the Hustler and al
lowed to stand for the New Year being
one of the few instances where receivers
receipts have been cancelled by the gov
eminent. The Carbonate Hall company
took the contest to the general land office,
claiming that they had right TO patent
under the original survey. also that the
New Year and Hustler were located con-
tiguous and the patent work done on the
New Year was for the benefit of both
claims. and that the fact that the end
center of the Hustler fell within the ter
ritory located and patented by the Fort
Wilcox counted nothing against the Hus-
tier location. The Carbonate Hin COM
pany based its contention for the latter
point upon decision of the United States
supreme court in the famous case of the
Del Monte and Last Chance lodes. claim
ing that Ii was "A directly parallel case.
In this latter case the end center of the
claim being patented within the ter
ritory that had already been patented by
another company. but this did not make
II necessary for a resurvey and location.
The general land office rules In favor OF
the Hustler. and thereby allows the end
line located within the Fort Wilcox to
stand: the patent work done on the New
