While the entire Herald staff has taken part in the
preparation of the edition. practically all of the mat
ter from the principal mining camps contained in this
number was collected and written by Mr. c. W Greene
The illustrations are from photographs taken in the
field by Mr. c. Z. Randall Both the text and the illus
traons bespeak for themselves the ability and judg
ment of all the men who have worked so hard to make
valuable presentation of the subject but The Herald
dishes to add special word of appreciation to both
Mr. Greene and Mr. Randall for their untiring indus
try and faithfuness while the work in progress.
Few people outside of newspaper Office appreciate
the difficulty of the task which they have accomplished
The collection of data alone on so comprehensive a
subject as the mines of the state Is task of large pro-
portions and when to this is added the labor of putting
the material into writing and accompanying it with pic
lures illustrating the text the labor is something enor-
nous.

Getting Back at Henry.

"The prodigal son made one great mis-
take" remarked Mr.. ChatteTtOn with the
air of a man who is about to spring some
thing good.
Feeling that it was her duty to let her
liege lord relieve himself of his glow
ing thought, Mrs. c. asked the necessary
question.
Because, if ne had stayed away q
couple of years longer that calf would
have been "a full-grOwn cow
VERY good, Henry but will you kindly
tell me. just to appease a little woman
ism curiosity, on what information you
base your theory that the calf was a

MY LAST BLOOMING DOLLAR.


apologies to Tom Moore.}
5TIS MY last blooming dollar
Left lingering alone;
All its lovely companions
Have faded and gone;
No greenbacks or silver
Or gold coins remain
To jingle in chorus
Their joyous refrain.
One by one they slipped from me,
With iingie- and noise,
With trinkets and gewgaWs
And DuZzles and toys.
For flumme1y and frilldabS,
For truck and knickknacks,
For trdmpery and claptrap,
Whim-whams and gimcracks.
I'm a frey of shopping
] blew them all in,
TIL this last blooming dollar,
Without kitb or kir,
Is all that Is left me.
Is all that remains,
To gladden. my pocket
And stifie my pains.
And this last blooming dollar,
Left lingering alone,
Gives no spark of comfort
To this heart of stone.
For like its companions.
1t. too. would have fled.
But. alas, the blamed dollar
is made out of lead.

OPINION OF COURT

Commodore Schley in command of the
 flying squadron, should have proceeded
 with utmost dispatch off Cienfuegos, and
 should have mainta aimed a close blockade
 at that port.
 He should have endeavored on May 23
 at Cienfuegos to obtain information re-
 garding the Spanish squadron by com
 municating with the insurgents at the
 place designated in the memorandum de-
 livered to him at 8:15 a. m. of that date.
 He should have proceeded from Cien- fuegos to Santiago de Cuba with all dis
 patch and should have disposed his ves-
 sells with a view of intercepting the enc
 my in any attempt to pass the flying squadron.
 He should not have delayed the squad ron for the Eagle.
 He should not have made the retro- grade turn westward with his squadron. He should have promptly obeyed the navy departments order of May 25. He should have endeavored to capture or destroy the Spanish vessels at an- chor near the entrance of Santiago har-
 bor on May 29 and 3O
 He did not do his utmost with the force under his command to capture or destroy the Colon and other vessels of the enemy which he attacked on May 3l. By commencing the engagement on July 3, with the port battery and turning the | Brooklyn around with port helm Commo- | dore Schley caused her to lose distance | and position with the Spanish vessels especially with the Viscaya and Colon The turn of the Brooklyn to starboard | was made to avoid getting her into dan | gerous proximity to the Spanish vessels. | The turn was made toward the Texas and caused that vessel to stop and back her | engines to avoid possible collision. | Admiral Schley did injustice to Lieut. | Commander A. c. Hodgson in publishing | only a portion of the correspondence
 which passed between them. Commodore Schleys conduct in con- nection with the events of the Santiago campaign prior to June 1, 1898, was char
 acterized by vaccilation, dilatoriness and | lack of enterprise.
 | His official reports regarding the coal | supply and the coaling facilities of. the | flying squadron were inaccurate and mis- | leading.
 His conduct during the battle of July | was self-possessed and he encouraged | in his own person, his subordinate of- | ficers and men to fight courageously. (Signed)

NEW CITY HALL HAS
 ITS FIRST OCCUPANT
Extension Ladder Moved Into Quar- ters Provided for the Fire
 Department.

The new city hall had its first tenant to move in yesterday On the Fourth avenue side, which is set aside for the fire department, this resident took up quarters.
 It Is the long extension hook and lad der and yesterday the firemen showed it home to its place in the new city hall, which Is rapidly nearing completion.
 The fire department division of the building is being finished up so that the apparatus can be moved from the stable where 1t has been some time. Although the place Is not yet completed and the front doors have not been hung, the long ladder looked very much in place. and many stopped yesterday to take a look at 1t.
 The stalls for the horses are not even completed and they are kept across the street, and the men who man it in the time of need are sleeping across the way, but 1t takes them only few seconds to cross and harness the long fre-hghter and be on their way to the blaze.
 When completed this will be one of the best equipped fire stations in the South. Every modern convenience which will aid in keeping down fire will be put Into this building, and the department will be thoroughly equipped for the very fastest work in getting under way after the alarm com es in.

AUSTIN WANTS THE
 GAMEWELL SYSTEM
Believe It Would Improve Police De. Partment and WIIl Ask Council
 for an Appropriation.

Chief of Police Austin will make a re- quest of the city council at it's next meeting that the Gamewell police report system again be placed in operation. The system was operated once before. but the distribution of the boxes was in the hands of the chief of the fire depart ment and to use them to advantage us fire boxes he had to place them so that 1t was very inconvenient to the police men to cali every hour according to the rule.
 The fire department now has its own boxes and the police call boxes will be on an entirely different system and used only by tho police. They will be placed by Chief Austin in convenient places for his men to ring without leaving their beats. and the chief believes they will be success this time.
 To put the system in operation will only require about $2O0 the city now has stored away all the boxes, office aper- atus and in fact everything necessary. The only expense being putting up the wires and arranging the apparatus.
 Chief Austin believes it will increase the efficiency of the department 100 per cent as 1t will keep him In constant touch with the men, they having to re- port once every hour. or half hour, In case anything extraordinary happened he would be able to notify every man on duty at the time within half an hour of the time 1t happened.

MALONEY DISMISSED.
Evidence Shows That Officer Killed
 Negro UnlntentionalIy.

Officer Maloney, who appeared before Justice of the Peace Benners yesterday for preliminary trial for shooting a ne- gro boy several nights ago. was dis missed, there not being sufficient evil dence to warrant his being held.
 All the evidence went to show that the officer had killed the negro unintention- ally. It will be remembered that Officer Maloney shot the negro while the latt CT was trying to escape from coal car al the Thirteenth street crossing with a bag of coal which he had stolen. The officer shot behind the negro to scare him, but he turned just before the shot was fired and ran directly in the course of the bullet.

 Is Stored.

Fire at the rolling mills of the Republic Steel and Iron Company last night de- stroyed the shed which covers the fire brick storeroom. The damage amounted to about S200.

THE TEXAS HAD
 TO REVERSE ENGINES.

The turn of the Brooklyn was towards the Texas. The Texas stopped and backed her engines.
 On July 8, 1893, about the time the Brooklyn began her turn to starboard, a conversation regarding the proximity of the Texas took place between Com modore Schley and Lieut.. A. c. Hodg- son.
 Admiral Schley caused to be published in daily newspaper letter addressed to him by Lieut. Com. A. C. Hodgson, dated June Il, 1899, in which Lieut.-Com. Hodgson said:
 "The colloquy published in the New York Sun and alleged to have taken place between you and me on the day of the battle off Santiago, July B. 1S9S never occurred"
 Admiral Schley did not have published the other letters of Comman- der Hodgson in regard to this matter.
