MINING NOTES.

s. /. Hallett and Harry Knee
land, the lessees, suspended opera
tions upon the Bull-Domingo mine
Thursday, laying off 26 men. The
reason for the shutdown was the
expiration of the lease. About 700

ready for shipment.

The Forest Queen mine at Irwin
has recently been unwatered and a
connection made from the mine to
the long tunnel which now drains
that mine and the Ruby King.
This will be great advantage to
both properties, as it will give per-
feet ventilation and drainage to all
the underground workings in both
mines to the depth of from 300 to
500 feet. We hope that this move
means that active operations will
soon be resumed on the Forest
Queen.
The Star mine on Italian noun
tain was sold last week by the
owners, Chas. Hubbard, Sandy
Hynes and John McManus of Tin
Cup, to Henry Gillaspey of Aspen,
who made the purchase for other
parties, among whom, it is reported,
is W. S. Stratton. The price is
$4,000, one-seventh of which was
paid down, the balance to follow
on the installment plan. The Star
is an extension of the famous Bull
Domingo and has an immense body
of good lead ore in sight. The
Italian mountain region is rapidly
becoming an important mining
district.

IMPERIALISM RUN MAD.

| Republicans are now saying: 80, pshaw!
All this talk about imperialism is nonsense. No
body wants imperialism" Just read this, from
the DesMoines, Iowa, Tribune of June 9th, and
you will readily see that all this talk about i'm.
perialism is not nonsense. The Tribune is
one CT the leading Republican papers of Iowa:
eff anything was needed to demonstrate the
inability of our present form of government to
cope with the new conditions we have entered
into, it is the disgracefn frauds of the Cuban
postal department For long time, thinking
people, who have large commercial interests,
have felt unsafe with our present form of gov
eminent, from the fact that we are controlled by
the little cheap John politicians and ward heller.
Nows good time to do away with our old OBJ
solete constitution and adopt form of govern
ment that will be logical with our new expan.
sion ideas, and will give ample protection to
capital. We should not be disgraced in the
sight of civilized nations by such sight as the
violence and killing that accompany the oper-
alton of street cars in St. Louis now. A con-
stitutonal monarch is probably the most desir-
able plan that we could now adopt. Everything
is ripe for the change. We have large army,
and it can be Increased under almost any pre-
text without causing alarm to the masses This
country has been so prosperous that the voters
have lost that spirit of patriotism and honesty
that are necessary to the successful operations
of republics. The strong iron hand of disci-
pline will have to be used to bring the masses
to sense of proper behavior. We take it that
the great farming interests of our land will read
lily adapt themselves to the change. The farm
er is great lover of law and order, and under
a monarchy these results will follow. Our con-
stitution is largely the expression of French
revolutionary ideas; ideas suggested by hot
headed theorists. Jefferson and Paine found
American soil suitable for the PRONUNCIATION of |
Voltareism and Rousseauism. Now, the |
church is strong enough to 60 back to Biblical |
teachings of kingship 1t need not take but
few years to convince our political rulers to
make the change. Certainly it must have years
ago suggested itself to the minds of the states
men in Washington.
And now, read this from the pen of Will Al
ZEN White, of Emporia who is wellknown
and one of the brightest young Re-
oublicans in the state. We quote from an ed
torial which appeared iii his paper of Dec. IS,
1899:
eff there was but one representative from
Zach state in congress, the nation would be
WISER And if congress met once in ten years,
he nation would have more money and better
standing.
Government by the people through legisla-
ures is farce. If the mobs in Our legislative
