RICH ORE IN p1KR's PEAK.
MiainG Company Well PAID for Bos-
Ing Mae Hundred Feet Into
MountaiA.

The first strike of any Importance
ever made on Pixies peak is the one
just discovered in the tunnel of the Oil
Greek Mining company of Cincinnati.
The mountain has been prospected for
years and is supposed by many to be
the starting point of the rich leads
found in Cripple Greek. but surface
work has never disclosed any ore. By
running a tunnel into the very heart
OF the mountain, however, the Oil
Creek company has opened three-foot
vein OF $50 ore and pockets carrying
fabulous values. The tunnel is now in
300 feet under Pixies peak. Work was
begun in March, 1896. At that time
there was no ore in sight, and nothing
but theory to warrant the expendi-
ture of money. George II. Bohrer, pres
ident Of the German national bank of
Cincinnati, is also president of the Oil
Creek Mining company. George Kreis
is secretary and j. R. Pictou is treas
urer.
The utmost secrecy is maintained by
the interested parties.

Consul Hughes, at Coburg, Germany,

oints about benzine are its high in

DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.
the Filling and Sealing
Machinery.

Considerable delay is being occa-
stoned in the congressional seed dis
tribution by the failure of the filling
and sealing machinery to work as it
was expected to do; The invention is
a new one, and not yet in state Of
perfection, but it is thought that the
inventor, who spends his time in the
plant, will be able to have 1t in good
working order in the next few days!
Just now the work of filing, sealing
and franking the bags Is being done
by hand as rapidly as possible, and
some orders are being gotten out for
the localities in which planting first
occurs.
1t is thought by the contractors that
the plant, which is conveniently To-
Gated near the post Office. will be in
full working order in the next few days,
and that, even with the present delay
and the extra appropriation, the work
will be completed much more rapidly
than ever before.
Some fear is entertained by some
congressman lest Secretary Wilson's
test for termination is too high, and
that he is paying too much attention
to the scientific character of the sup
ply, and thus materially retarding the
distribution. The congressman frank
ly confess that 1t is the quantity and
speed of the distribution for which
they care more than for the quality,
and already they are making uneasy
calls at the plant where the seeds are
being handled and to the seed division
Of the agricultural department..

suPERFLUoUS ACTIVITY.
Women Speak of THE Complex Duties
of the Moment"

of the Momsnt.'
The fact that the world-the world
of women, at least-is too busy is now
put forward so often that its utterance
amounts to a truism. The most COM
mon phrase in our language seems to
be that which proclaims the want OF
leisure. Il am so busy" III can ever
get the time;" Life Is such pressure
these days." THE complex duties of
the moment" "The busy modern pub
lic''-these are, all of them, most IA
miliar sentences to us, and are on our
lips time and again In explanation OF
business, social, and even moral short
comings. 1t is not putting 1t too
strongly to say that in the present
rush OF living we are losing some of
our best characteristics and painfully
dwarfing our lives. We are too busy
to be neighborly, hospitable, to be
sympathetic-a good many, indeed, of
the finer traits of humanity are finding
less expression among us.
The question of better control Of the
leisure which the old century gave to
women, and which the new will in
crease is a large one, and admits OF
elaborate presentation. 1t is only in
tended in this brief paragraph to en-
phasize a single point, which Is, the
value of quick weighing of every ef-
fort in which one is about to engage.

Moxensnts of tho Eye.

A very curious device has been m
vented, by which it is possible to de-
termine how many times the eye
moves in reading, and how fast the
movements are made. The object Of
the instrument is to show in what
cases reading is hurtful to the eyes,
and thus to prevent shortsightedness
and fatigue. In a test of the instru-
ment recently made the results were
curious. A mans eye was first made
insensible to pain by an application Of
holococaine, and then very light
shell, with hole in the center, was
placed on the eyeball and held to it by
suction. The shell was connected with
light aluminium levers in such a way
that the eye movements were traced
on a moving sheet of smoked paper.
Electrical devices caused the pointer
to record not only the movements, but
the speed of each and the exact time 1t
took. The tracings showed that the
eye does not move over a printed line
continuously, but by quick jerks OF
varying length. The eye returns in an
unbroken sweep until near the end.
when it halts occasionally, as II to
get its bearings. The average number
of jerk movements in reading news
paper line is about three. A line
slightly less than an inch in length
was read without any movement.

ONE OF OUR CANDIDATES.

In these modern days it is unnec>
essary for man to have strapped
about him a brace of revolvers, a
dirk knife in slit in the lapel OF
his coat and a bludgeon Of lead in
a smoothly covered leather pouch,
to make people believe he is a
brave man. No such tactics to
prove bravery and capacity have
ever been adopted by the present
candidate of the democratic party
for the shrievalty.
Charles S. Wallis has won his
spurs by his most excellent temper
and his level headedness, and yet
the record of the courts OF Mesa
county contain more arrests under
his administration and more criml-
nails brought to justice than under
any previous sheriff.
Notwithstanding that nearly all
his life in Colorado has been spent
in the COW camps and in associa'
ton with the rough but great heart
ed cowboys, Charles 5. Wallis in
his temperament is as mild as wo>
men and as brave as lion, as all
truly brave men are.
In every sense of the word he is
a western man. Born in Missouri
he came to the Centennial state
when it was yet territory in 1874
and has been identified with its
history ever since.
In 1886 he came to the Grand
valley and has remained ever since.
For many years he was employed
by some Of the best known cattle
men and their testimony is that he
was a faithful and conscientious
employe in whatever situation he
was placed, and during the period
he worked in the cattle camps he
enjoyed the regard and confidence
OF his fellows to an extraordinary
degree.
One of the principal guarantees
that Charles X Wallis measured uD
to the fullest degree of manhood is
that to this day he enjoys to a lars
ger degree than almost any OF those
with whom he associated, their
warm and constant friendship and
their devotion in any cause, and he
has with them to this day much
larger influence than ever before.
1t is not taking very great chan,
ces IN the line of prophesy, to say
that Mr.. Wallis will again be elect
ed to fill the office that he now
holds, for another term. That he
is ndidate is not tIom his own
seeking particularly, rs that OF his
friends, who believe in him and
who believe that the best interests
of the public and of his party will
be conserved his election.
