NEW IMPROVEMENTS.

j. r. Quigley & Go. have been awarded
\ the contract for putting an addition OF
65xl4 feet to the main building on the
Colorado-Carr mine, on the Bobtail hill
belt of veins, for Steve Hoskin, the man
ager. James II. Tierney is engaged in
walling up the new S0-horse power
boiler and installing of the Leyner air
be placed small sized engine which will
be used in hauling coal from the terminus
of the arial tramway that will connect
the mine with the Randolph stamp mill
in Black Hawk New ore bins 30x30x5o
will also be erected at the shaft build
ing, which will be sufficiently large to
store away several tons OF ore. The
work OF putting in the tramway, which
will be $500 feet in length, is now being
prosecuted by the contractors, st.
Louis firm. When the addition to the
shaft building is completed it will be
65xS0 feet in it's dimensions. The ore
being raised from the Carr while it is
undergoing developments is OF as good
quality as any heretofore taken out
under former management of the prop.
erty.
CALIFORNIA MINE USwATEEED.
AS predicted through these columns
the great task of unwatering the deep
shaft Of the California mine, on Quartz
hill, has been accomplished, the bottom
OF the shaft having been reached last
Sunday night. The work of clearing the
shaft of the water and sedmentary
matter swept into the shaft, which has
been under water for fully ten years,
was looked upon as herculean task,
many predicting that it would never be
accomplished without the aid Of n steam
pump. But with the persistent energy
of the manager of the property, which is
his great characteristic by means of two
large sized water buckets which have
been in use, the predictions made when
the present company took hold OF the
property last December have been
proven. The water is entirely out and
the debris is being removed at the rate
OF four feet per day, and consists Of sedi.
ments which it is impossible to shovel
into an ore bucket but Is bailed up and
placed in the buckets. 1t will not he
long before the California mine will re-
sumo hor former standing as producer
OF gold bearing ore. Pluck and energy
arc sure winners in mining as well as in
other business enterprises of legiti-
mate character.

STRUCK RICH SMELLING ORE.

In the 800 foot east level of the Galena
,Gnine, and under the Burgher lode vein,
which forms portion of the Galena
group owned by the the Alpha Gold and
Silver Mining company, two streaks of
smelling ore, a bright yellow copper iron,
has been struck, one of which is Is
inches wide and the other 8 inches wide.
This class Of ere gives 8 ounces gold, u
Nounces silver and II per cent. copper per
ton. The streaa has been opened up for
II feet in length, and gives no sign of
diminishing in extent and width Frank
kengIe, who is in charge of the prop
erty, has made shipment of the ore to
the smelter to more fully determine its
commercial value. The strike is con
sidered an important one.
HUBERT MINE RESUMED WORK.
On last Monday morning party of
miners resumed work in the main shaft
of the Hubert mine on Jones mountain
Nevada district, at point just above the
water, between the 100 and S0O-foot sta
tions. For the present but few miners
will be worked 1t is quite likely that
the water will be taken out OF the lower
workings to the bottom of the shaft
which is 1870 feet in depth. This ,is
good news to the citizens of that town
as we'll as the community IN general.
When the property was worked before
passing into the hands of the Vendome
Gold Mining and Milling company it was
paying a dividend of from $4,000 tp
$4,000 a month. Under proper manage
ment it will do so again. Connected
with the mine is % rapid drop stamp
mill which is in good condition. Hon.
II. c. Bolsinger has been working with
the view in end of a resumption of de-
velopment work upon this splendid
property for several months, and The
OBSERVER is pleased to announce bis
success in the matter.

was believed by those most conyersant with the facts that there was never q majority for it on it's own merits, many of those who supported It doing so i'll q half hearted way, and hoping that It would never come to an actual vote. There is good authority for asserting that while President Roosevelt will in clude in his message paragraph in favor of the upbuilding of the Ameri- can merchant marine, efforts to induce him to specifically endorse the subsidy bill have all proved unavailing. Con- sequently, even it's advocates are De ginning to despair. At a conference held last week between Senator Frye, c. A.

 The Chinese minister to the United States has; upon several occasions, nota, bly during the troubles in China last year. shown himself capable of doing impudeHt things. but he never did a more impudent thing than when he called on Mir Roosevelt q few days ago for the. purpose of trying to per suade him to aid ill preventing the re enactment of the Chinese exclusion law. that will expire next May. For much smaller offenses foreign minis ters have been given their passports, but the Chinese minister seems to be d privileged character with this ad- ministration, as he was with the last. Even a schoolboy knows that 1t is violation of diplomatic usage for q diplomat to call on the president about business; also that diplomats have no business to meddle with legislative matters in the countries to which they are accredited. It does not lessen the Chinese minister's offense that MT Roosevelt is already committed to re- enactment of the Chinese exclusion law

Edicts of Dowager Empress Seem to

 PEKING, Dec. 4.-Chinese officials say that the appointment of new heir apparent to the throne will be delayed until the emperor, Kwangsu, can discuss the question with leading men.
 The imperial edict deposing the for mer heir apparent, Puchun, son Of Prince Yuan, the author of the Boxer troubles, is generally considered as the strongest proof yet given of the sincerl- ty of the dowager empress leaning to- ward reform. Considered with previous edicts, this last one appears to corrob- crate the belief among Chinese officials that the dowager empress sees the er- TOT of her antiforeign policy of recent years.

 Getting Furs From Canada.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The post master general has instructed the postmasters at Alburg and East Al burg, Vt, to note all packages mail ed at their offices and suspected of be ing liable to customs duties and to fur nish the addresses on such packages to the customs officers at the Canadian line for the use of the customs off cers nearest to the respective places oi address.

HTs 1TcH FoR OFFICE.

Judge Cowell, who wants to he mayor, has always been represented as the friend of the poor man, the man. of small means who pays the bulk Of the taxes, and one who has always been fair and above board in all his deal- ings. but by his action yesterday lie has belied all this. The judges itch for office has thrown upon the city a litigation which will cost many dollars, and the poor man, whom he has been said to be ready to defend, will have 10 bear the brunt of it when his tax bill is presented. As We understand it, there was no great pressure from tie republicans generally made upon Judge Cowell to make the contest. He was simply goaded into it by men who, it seems, are trying to kill him deader' than they did before the October elec- tion. When the news spread about town last evening that Cowell was going to contest Mayor Kilduff's seat, republicans by the score denounced it as high-handed piece of business. It was generally understood, said one re- publican, that the party would have nothing to do with it. The republicans on election day knew all about the For" ballots, and Chairman Kellogg, with several of the party leaders, held a conference and decided that if the democratic ticket received a fair ma- jority there would be no contest, as # was plain to them there was no effort being made to evade the ballot law, or to in any way thwart the will of the people. It has remained for Judge Cowell, however, to try and upset the election, that he may place himself in another salaried office. The judge will make but very few friends by this move, and we haven't the faintest idea that any court in the land will place him in an office for which he was de- feated by nearly 800 votes.

At the present session of congress, says q Washington writer, a constant effort at retrenchment in expenditures and the curtailment of extrayagant ap- populations will be eXerted, and it is hoped that unity of action under the direction of an able leader may accom- p1ish much along these lines. LegisIa- ton calculated to control or suppress the trusts will be demanded by the democrats, and the antitrust measure, which the republicans buried in a sen ate committee last session, will be ras- urrected and many republican congress men will be placed in position where they will be compelled to vote for it or absolutely stultify themselves and vio- late the pledges which they made jn the recent campaign. The democrats realize that, small as may be their number. they have the American people back of them nrtheir fight on the trusts. and they will leave no stone un- turned in their efforts to force the e publican majorities to heed the peoples wish.

COLOMBIA PEACEFUL
Government Triumph Seems
 Nearly Complete.
PEACE COMMISSIONERS SENT OUT.
American Marines Still Conduct Trains Across the Isthmus, but Guard Has Been Withdrawn
 From Railway Offices.

COLON, Dec. 4.-According to news just received here, the interior of the country is almost entirely quiet. Only a few scattered and insignificant in Surgent bands are here and there wag- ing guerrilla warfare. This causes the government no anxiety.
 The triumph of the Colombian Con- seryatiye government on the isthmus will doubtless incalculably strengthen tho governments hands. A peace com mission composed of Florencio Arose mena, representing prominent Liberals of Panama; Manuel Amador, repre- senting the Colombian government, and General de Ia Rosa, secretary to the fnsUrgent general Domingo Diaz. who will act as guide, has already started for the interior to obtain an interview with Generals Diaz and Lu- go and to induce them to give up the struggle and return to Panama. Senor Amador is empowered to grant reason able terms to General DiaZ in the name of the government The peace com missioners were expected to return to Panama yesterday. It is already ru- mored, however, that Generals Diaz and Lugo are about to surrender. The best element of the Liberal par ty in Panama say they would prefer the present Conservative government to Liberal government if the latter is brought about by the Liberal gen eral Porras, for, they assert, Porras fights not for true Liberalism, but for purely selfish ends.
 The guard of American marines which has been stationed in front of the offices of the railroad company here has been withdrawn. A small de tail of marines still accompanies the passenger trains across the isthmus Both ends of the isthmus are quiet and orderly.
 Among the prominent persons killed on the government side during the re- cent engagements on the isthmus were Colonel Manuel Pachon, Captain Da- milan Espinosa, Lieutenant Julio Ra mos, Major Molinares and Everardo 1 Paredes. Captain Ferro and Lieute1- ant Chevalier Ramos were gravels wounded. General Francisco Castro Lieutenant Colonel Cobos and Major Huertas were slightly wounded.
 The total number of killed and wounded on both Asides is estimated q, about 400.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Sir Christo- pher Furness, M.

Ma rie, Canada, for the erection of an i'm mense shipbuilding plant, to be located at Sault Ste Marie, close to the june ton of the $500" canal and Lake Su Derior. Here will be erected Stee works which will cost approximatel G1O,OOO,o0O, and the iron and coal field of Canada will furnish the raw ma terial.
 Before sailing Sir Christopher saif that during the two months he hao spent in this country he had found out why the United States manufac- turer is crowding the British producer. He has seen here the railroad locomo- tives hauling twice the load that is hauled on the English roads with half the expense. Everything else he had seen done on the same economic scale. Because he believes Canada is sure to profit by the greatness of the United States he has chosen to locate his next project there. The drawback of ice in the St. Lawrence river would be over come by immense ice crushing steam CTS which would be constructed.

THE POULTRY SHOW.

The remarkable success of the paul. try show held in Washington indicates that the interest of the people i'll gen. eral in this line of business is growing. To some folks it may appear rather q matter of apprehension that the inhabi- tants of large city should concern themselves so much with poultry, for whether keeping chickens in a city back yard is cruelty to animals or not, it is certainly cruelty to the neighbors. But as matter of fact, most of the chicken fanciers in any city live out in the suburbs where they can give their pets plenty of room, and this is as it should be both for the fowls and the human beings.
 The improvement of breeds of poul- try and other domestic creatures is one of the arts of civilization which ought to be encouraged. There are inventions in modern days which are of dubious importance. for they only fill the world with useless and ugly ar- ticles. There is no particular profit in making cheap shoes which are not worth the money. or in putting Grecian ornaments on g stove door where they ought not to be. or in making an hon. est pine table look like oak or cherry until the paint or veneer wears off But thoroughbred animals. whether fish, flesh or fowl, are a pleasure to the eye and are of some practical use in l the world. Moreover. the employment of raising chickens. rabbits and the like is. an excellent one for children, for it is absolutely impossible to sue ceed in this work without paying par ticular attention to the likings. com fort and needs of the animal. The boy who thinks his favorite bantam is the finest thing that ever walked is less likely to take interest in more dubious i entertainment

QUITE WASTED.

Just before train arrived at one of our principal stations the other afternoon a winsome young woman, elegantly attired, came up to the closely guarded barrier which blocked the way to the platform. The Offi- cial stationed at the spot looked ob- durate.
 Please be so good as to let i.le through, said the girl beseechingly.
 Sorry: can't possibly do it, miss; it's against orders" was the reply But. please, do very much want to meet him when lie gets out,' re sponded the girl with "a bewtching look that was perfectly irresistible; 'he will be so bitterly disappointed If I am not on the platform to meet nin when the train gets in."
 '.Well, I'll take the chances" 1" thought the collector. as he pushed back the barrier a little way. "Pcr- haps she's only been married a few months" he thought becoming santi- mental: 'sand it may be her husband has been away for day or two. ana she wants to be on the spot when i,e gets out of the carriage. No doubt we all get it that bad once in our lives. anvhow.'

Heavy Snow In Boston.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-The heaviest snowstorm for so early in the winter season for years excepting the famous November gale of 1898 covered New England last night. It came out of the northeast with the wind fully forty miles an hour. While Maine has had sleighing for fortnight and the fields of New Hampshire have been white for some time, the storm is interest ing to people in this part of Massachu sets because an old fashioned New England winter almost had been for gotten. The indications are for two feet of snow.
