Contaminated ycxr,.hlr..

DIR. w. II. Wiley. chief chemist OF the
Department OF Agriculture at Washing
ton, has for the past few years been max
ing a thorough study OF the close CON
ncction between typhoid fever and the
use OF raw vegetables that have become
contaminated by the use Of water or
stable or house manure containing the
specific germ. There is no question as
to the correctness OF his conclusions,
which have been arrived at independent
ly by other competent observers. He
makes the following recommendations:
Suspected vegetables, before being
eaten cold should be sterilized by certain
chemicals that are easily remove after
ward. Tartaric acid is good. aud while
easily removed, even should small
amount remain, 1t would neither impair
the flavor of the vegetables nor iujure
the health. In fact, it is found in large
quantities in certain fruits. such as
grapes. Where there is suspected dan
ger. both fruit and vegetables should be
sterilized by 3 per cent solution OF tar.
taric acid and subsequent washing in
sterilized water before eating.'
1t Is not enough. therefore. that sus-
pected water should be boiled. but even
the vegetables which had been irrigated
by the water vhould be sterilized. Fail
ure to do this probably accounts for
many cases OF typhoid fever which other.
wise are almass inexp'icablc.

THE UNAwEEp MINES.
Grand Junction Sentinel.

bTduu JuHctluH SSHtillel
To many people it will possibly be a
surprise to know that company operat-
ing in the Unaweep country, the Una
weep Copper Mining and Milling com
pany, has plant right on the ground
which might be said to be first class
plant for the operation OF mines. But
it's nevertheless fact.
IL this is not the best evidence offaith
iu the future Of the Unaweep country.
we do not know what could be called
such.
The compnny now has in operation at
their mines in the Unaweep, 50-horse
power boiler, 40 horse power hoist and
No. Cameron pump. This machinery
is now in operation with full force of
men working on the development OF the
Mollie Brooks mine. which has given
abundant evidence that it has u mum Der
OF good workable veins.
The last assay on ore from this mine
gave the following assay: l0i 10 per cent
silver, % per cent copper and trace OF
gold. This was not ore selected especially
for the assay. but the run OF the mine.
The indications on this mine are SO
favorable that it is proposed this sum
mer to sink to depth Of 400 feet, where
il is believed the heaviest ore bodies ex-
list. Some little drifting to the east has
been done in order to strike a vein which
has outcropped in the shaft.
When it is considered that this com
pany has a monthly pay roll OF approx
mately $500 it gives the greatest evi-
dence that the local people are hand in
hand with those who are heavily inter
ested in the east in the development OF
the mines belonging TO this company.
Besides the hoistins machinery shaft
house whose dimensions are 2ix36 feet
has been erected together with cars and
goodly length OF track to handle the
ore to the dump. Altogether this com
Tany has expended nearly $500 on the
machiaery for these mines and they
propose to continue the work further.

i .RAY OF HOPF.

These are new times, but perhaps it will ultimately be discovered that they are not so very different from the old times as they occasionally seem to be. In the old times 1t was believed that a movement in real estate was likely to follow the collapse of a boom in stocks. This notion is floating around now, and some wise men are actually looking for it to materialize.
 A boom in real estate! Well, well! Wouldn't such a boom be welcome in New Haven, even if it should ultimately come to the sad ending that closed the real estate boom here nearly thirty years ago? Some who were stuck in that boom still live, and have been afraid that they would die without the sight of another one that would enable them to get out. Is it possible that their day Is coming and with it a new lot of real estate 'holders?"

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CHICAGO.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CHICAGO. | A new chief of police ought to start 1 off right, especially in Chicago. Chica-
 go has a new chief, and he has appar-
 ently made a proper start. His name is | Frank O'Neill, and he has been in of-
 flee two weeks During that time he
 has conducted several raids on gamb- ling houses and other vicious places, and he promises that this work will be
 continued. He doesn't expect, he says,
 to make the city paradise, but he in- sists that the law shall be enforced,
 and that the police must do their duty.
 His Elan is to handle the worst evils first, to get rid of the thieves and the
 conddence men, to suppress the gamb-
 ling houses and the panel houses, and to prevent the open parade of the so- cial evil To this end he invites all Chicago citizens who know personally of the existence of evil or vice which
 is amenable to law to write to him about it. Every letter of complaint, even anonymous letters, will have his personal attention, he says. He wants "tips'' which the officers can investi- gate. Moreover, he declares that all his orders regarding the suppression of vice are permanent. There is nothing So damoralzing in police force as to have orders given and then suspend them awhile or change them when the fellows arrested begin to complain" he says. "It won't do. Now. when we arrest man, following out general or ders, nobody can speak for him and stop the execution of the orders one inch. It takes time to do these things, but when the wheels begin to move they w.ll. move all the way or else I won't be chief any longer"
 Good enough. If Chief O'Neips per- fo.mance is equal to his promise he may not stay in office long, but he will set good example while he is in.
