ANCIENT MINES,
Workings of Great Antiquity Found
North of Hartville.

Joseph l.. Stein, who has been min
ing in the Hartville region for the past
twenty years, tells the Cheyenne cor
respondent of the Denver News some
interesting facts concerning the recent
archaeological discoveries north OF
Hartville. Mr.. Stein and his partner.
William Louk, have recently made a
sale Of their copper and iron properties
in Whalen. conon.
Speaking of the discovery of Indian
relies made by Mr.. Stein while work
ing the Chicago mine, and in explor-
ing the ancient mines north of Hart
vile, he says their geological occur
renee shows them to be remains of
races long anterior to the present
Indian tribes. Mr.. Stein unearthed the
paint mills, hammers and necklaces at
the depth of sixteen to twenty feet, in
a formation SO solid that ages would
be required for its deposit and max
ing.
In the ancient mines on the Muddy,
thirty, miles north OF Hartville, Mr..
Stein worked one summer In onnec-
ton with several other miners and as
c%ertained several facts regarding those
wonderful remains where an area of
more than a square mile has been miu-
ed by extensive shafts, tunnels and gal
leries in solid rock by some rude meth
cd unknown to living races either of
Indians or white men. Mr.. Stein says
there is mo- record of any such extern
stve Indian mining ever being done by
the American Indians and hat the rel
les found there, such as knives. ham
mers, axes, spear heads, etc, are all of
q heavy and rude workmanship which
plainly Indicate that they belong to
the stone age.
Mr.. Stein, who is an enthusiastic
archeologist, recently made q strange
discovery a few miles above his cabin
in Whalen canon. In exploring a cave
in limestone he found the bones of a
man and the evidences that the man
was not only a cave dweller, but had
companions in that rocky fortress.
There was a fireplace and what had evil
IDENTIFY been a sleeping apartment. The
bones discovered were disconnec-
ted and somewhat scattered and COW
cred by debris. Mr.. Stein had the skull
sent to the Smithsonian institute, the
arm bones and other parts of the anat-
omy were brought to the cabin. Mr..
Stein thinks that a region SO rich in
antiquities should be explored by scien.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS.
May Be Required of Union Pacific Em.
ployes, Present and Prospective.

Physical examinations for employees
at Union Pacific headquarters are now
being discussed among the officials
with the five-fgure salaries, says the
Omaha World Herald. The system as
proposed is that every employe. present
or prospective. shall be examined by the
chief surgeon a. to his or her eondi-
tion of health, of which a record will
be preserved for use to determine the
employees physical fitness for retention
in service, or lor promotion. The ex-

health certificate is to be fixed at ST..
The idea in introducing the new sys-
tenn it is said. is under the general the
DRY that a a or woman in good
health can do more work and better
work than one not so favored, and can
be relied upon at all times; as against
a falling down of sick folks at times
when most needed. with the conse-
quent results.

drawn-especially with the old men
who have grown gray In the service OF
the company and are deserving of their

ROBERTS ADVANCES
IS NOW ON BOER TERRITORY
WITH A LARGO. WELL
EQUIPPED FORCE.
Cronje's Margersfontein Line Turned
and Important Tactical Advantage
Gained-General French Occupies
Cronje's Line of Communication
Many Men Frustrated by Heat.

London, Feb. 15.-The British army,
for the first time since the wal began,
is inside the Boer frontier. Lord Rob-
erts, with at least 40, 900 infantry, 1000
cavalry and $50 guns, has turned the
Mag%ersfontein lines, before which the
British forces have been encamped for
ten weeks, and with half OF his corps
he is already operating on Free State
territory. A battle has not yet been
fought, but a large tactical advantage
has been gained.
The relief of Kimberley is within
measurable reach and the way to
Bloemfontein appreciably easier.
The dispatches Of Lord Roberts
sketch three days work. The forward
movement began Sunday. when Colo
mel Hannay set out with a brigade Of
mounted infantry for Ramah, on the
Riet, eight miles from Jacobsdal, the
Boer supply base. General french,
with a cavalry division, seized the
crossing Of the Riet river at Dekils
drift, south of Jacobsdal and Is miles
east Of H%oneynest kloof. He skirmish-
ed with the Beers and cleared the way
for 1000 infantry, who followed across.
Tuesday, with three cavalry brigades
and horse artillery, French rode to
Modder river, e distance of rs miles.
and took three fords with high ground
hapord tho ~{vor auA Nvo no>r counna
He had few Casualties In his brushes
with the Boer horse. French o has
fixed himself On Cronje's main line Of
communication with Bloemfontein, and
20. 900 infantry. with u guns, are being
pushed to support him there.
Lord Roberts dispatches, wired from
inside the Free State and on the Riet
river. left him Wednesday morning.
His advance has not been opposed by
the Beers In force. Their patrols melted
away as the British moved forward.
The Boer army will be felt in a day or
two and a battle of consequence Is i'm
minent. AS to what forces Cronje has
now at his disposal and as to where he
proposes making a stand against the
invaders. no one here connected with
the war office knows anything Data
for conceptions are wholly wanting.
The force immediately at the dispos-
al Of Lord Roberts Is placed at 5000
in a general way. These figures are re-
vealed by the commands mentioned in
the dispatches as having been added
to the divisions known to be with Lord
Methuen. Quite possibly Lord Rob-
erts has 10000 or 20, 900 more. 1t is now
realized the incidents at Rensberg had
been seen out Of all proportion. Merely
skeleton lines were maintained there,
while troops were being secretly and
rapidly concentrated on Modder river.
The speed with which 10000 men have
already been sent beyond the rail ter
minus shows that Lord Kitchener has
been fully successful In organizing the
transport. He Is supposed to be
down the line, sending forward o
troops and getting together nor trans
ports.

GOEBEL LAW INFAMOUS.
Judge Taft Denounces in Vigorous
Terms the Action of Democrats.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-Judge Taft Of
the federal court today decided that he
had NO Jurisdiction in the contest for
minor state offices in Kentucky. He
finished reading his opinion at $50 p.
M, in which he denied the application
for injunctions in both cases in the
Kentucky suits. After citing the laws,
showing that the federal court had no
jurisdiction in such cases, he reviewed
the Goebel election law as the most in
famous statute that had ever come be-
fore the attention of a court. and also
denounced in vigorous terms the condi-
lions that have existed in Kentucky and
that are cited in the bill of facts. But
he held that 1t was merely a matter of
law with the court, Notwithstanding
the outrages that are alleged in the I'M
disputed statement Of the facts of the
petitioners. There was an. immense
crowd in the federal building awaiting
the decision Of the court.

NOVELTIES IN STATIONERY.
The Most Approved Papers for the Let
ter Writer.

The most approved tint for writing
paper at present is pistachio green.
And the women who are fortunate
enough to have a country house have
the name of their summer home
printed in white letters at the top of
the green sheet. 1t is a matter of in
dividual fancy whether the paper has
white border or not 1t is equally
correct either way. The pistachio green
paper is also stamped with the owners
monogram in very small white letters
inside circlet of silver.
Khaki paper is much used by the
young person addicted to fads. But
it is not an attractive paper. Khaki
color, that dull shade Of Manila brown,
is anything but pleasing. The khaki
paper can be bought plain, and also
with narrow red, white or dark blue
border
The newest papers are known as
organdie, chiffon, coquille, Tarlatan
and Dingola.
The organdie paper is a special ia
vorite at present. There is just a sug-
gestion of resemblance in it's weave
to the organdie so much used for sum-
mer gowns. 1t can now be bought in
the bond paper, as we'll as a thicker
quality, and comes in heliotrope, blue
and white
The coquille paper, which has an
egg-shell finish, is also much in de-
mand. The majority of the tinted pa
pers at present are made with very
narrow white border. Both the oblong
and the square envelope are used. An
envelope novelty which promises to be
favorite is oblong in shape with the
flap extending diagonally across the
back of the envelop, and the point in
stead of being in the center, as usual,
is at the extreme left hand corner.
Peep-tinted papers, with the excep-
ton of the new fad of khaki, are sell
dom used by the woman of refinement.
The pale tints are the fashion of the
moment. Delicate heliotrope, pis-
tachio green, pale blue and faint gray
are all in favor.
Monograms and crests are smaller
than they were at the beginning of
winter, and are invariably inside a
circle
The woman who always does the cor
rect thing never perfumes her note pa
per. She never uses paper of a strik-
ingly pronounced tint, and she does not
change it with every whim of fashion
She adopts a style of paper which she
intends to make distinctively her own
and then clings to it.
