M. II. Kinney Explains Why
CreStone is Good Camp.

M II Kinney is in the city from
Pyke, a mining camp in the San
Luis valley not far from Crestoue,
and this morning denied the state
ment published that the bottom
has dropped out of Crestone camp.
He says, however, that the 200
ton mill owned by the San Luis
Valley Land d Mining company
is closed down on account of lack
of ore to keep it running because
of the fact that the mill has been
treating more ore than the mines
produce; all the surface ore in the
mines having been taken out
AT recent meeting of the stock
holders in Philadelphia it was
voted to spend 100000 in develop
ing the Independence mine by a
3.compartment shaft, stoping and
tiiitihS So tidt u idISt lOICt Vi
men can be worked to mine the
ore required to operate the mill.
The shaft will be sunk to depth
of 800 feet and tunnels will be
driven from this at every l00-foot
level and it will not be great
while before enough ore will be
opened up for this purpose.
This company has several other
properties and owns about twelve
miles of range property and the
operators say that they will spend
sufficient money to develop the
mines for three years. As soon
as sufficient ore can be opened up
the mill will resume operations.
The ore, he says, of that territory
is of milling grade and must be
treated at home, but by sorting it
a quantity could be sent to the
smelter for treatment.

The tax levy which Centralia citi-
zens have to pay for the year 1900 is
48 mills, county 20, city IS, school
10. Centralia is all right and so is
the whole county when it comes to
the matter Of taxes. Still this city is
plling up its debts at a marvellous
rate. Last year the interest on its
outstanding general fund warrants
exceeded the principal paid off by a
large sum the electric light fund is
about $500 behind and the current
expense fund away behind. If the
city IS not bonded and the old 10 and
9 per cent. warrants redeemed the
city will be fairly swamped in few
years. This is no idle dream, but a
fact. Ii we do not bond our lew
must be largely increased for the
coming year. Our debts must be
paid, and the sooner the people real
lze the fact the better they will be
off. A 30 mill tax is not pleasant to
contemplate, but it is coming under
the present conditions, and that very
soon, tOO.-Centralia News

The decision of the court of ap

The decision Of the court Of ap-
pealS in the McKinzie case is one of
the most remarkable documents
which to our knowledge ever eman-
ated from a federal court. McKen-
zie seemed to be kind of a side issue
and Judge Noyes was the chief object
of attack. The very idea of one court
reviewing the work of another is re-
voting enough, but when that court
uses its position to cast censure and
contempt upon another it is high
time that the people take notice.
Hereafter people who are strongly
tempted to take the law into their
own hands will note with pleasure
that the millionaires of Alaska were
advised to practically ignore the fed
eral court at Nome and in their
might execute th law, or their view
of it, and without the aid of Judge
NOyes. What makes the offense Of
the court of appeals so much more
inexcusable is the fact that the mon
eyed gang for whose aid the decision
was rendered are not above reproach
themselves.

When the Prince of Wales made
his tour of the United States in 1859
he visited Baltimore on his return
from Richmond, Va, and was escort
ed from the Camden station to the
Gilmour house by the city guards,
then Baltimore's crack military or
ganization. Col Joe Warner, who
commanded the guards, was a bluff
old soldier, intensely American, with
most pronounced democratic ideas,
relates the Philadelphia Record
After the battalion reached the hotel
Mayor Swami, who had the prince in
charge, invited the officers into the
hotel parlor to be introduced to his
royal highness. Of course, Col. War
ner was the first to be honored. AID
vancing toward the prince he grasp
ed his outstretched hand, and giving
it vigorous shake, exclaimed:
"Mr. Wales, am very happy to
make your acquaintance, sir"
The officers Of the guards stood
aghast at this extreme cordiality or
the part of their commander, and an
amused expression came over the
face of the prince; but giving the
colonel as vigorous a shake as he had
received, he good-humoroedly ex-
pressed his pleasure at the compli.
ment paid him.
Upon the return of the guards tc
their armory Maj. Lloyd Parks, who
entertained entirely different notions
of etiquette from his colonel, tool
him to task for his bruesqueness
Col. Joe listened in surprise at thu
rebuke of his subordinate, and wher
he had concluded he said:
"See here, Lloyd, [ took a liking
to that young fellow; there's nothing

he doesn't wear a better hat than

II something is not done to check
the old-time prejudices and tradi-
tons IN the regular army it will not
be long before we will be in a condi-
ton even worse than that alleged to
exist in the British army. The pro-
motion of Gen. Miles for lieutenant
general is in line with this observa-
ton. Gen. Miles entered the army as
a lieutenant in 1861, and through
the influence of the Shermans soon
gained the rank Of major general.
His record speaks for itself. Rut
what we had most in mind was the
lectlons raised to the promotion Of
Gen. Leonard Wood by the old fos-
sis who object to preferment for
merit Ii our army is maintain its
standing as fighting machine merit
should obtain advancement. even
though it come from the men in the
ranks AS 1t Is, it is about as hard

to work himself into a commission.

there more disparity between off,

Municipal ownership, especially Of
street railways, is getting to be an is
sue in several large cities Of the East
and unless there is a change in the
mode Of conducting these public
benefits, there will be a warm scoop
before it is over. In Columbus,
when the franchises were soon topire,
an ordinance extending them was
passed after considerable time and
discussion extending the franchises
for twenty-five years. While it was
pending the irrepressible Tom L..
johnson went to Columbus with an
effort to take the franchise, and at
the terms offered, and give a three
cent fare. He also proposed to give
all over six per cent. on the invest
ment in retiring capital to permit the
city to own the property. In spite of
these offers the council passed the
ordinance extending the franchise,
and thus made a basis for the April
election. In Chicago there is not
such demand for municipal owner
ship as reduction in fares. So far
in this city we have not had much
complaint to make at the companies,
but there is an active minority who
will Use every endeavor to bring on
the issue at the first sign of wavering
in the ranks Of those who oppose the
issue.

Four Kings and a Joker.

At the time of Col. Cody's advent
into the capital of Germany the old
Emperor William was entertaining
there three kings Of smaller Ger
manic powers. The royal gentlemen
were very much interested in the
Buffalo Bill exhibitions, and Col
Cody was the recipient of many ia
vors from the emperor himself. One
feature of the performance was the
exhibition of the antiquated Dead
wood coach containing passengers
who are attacked by Indians and
finally rescued by cowboys.
The kaiser asked to be allowed IL
ride in this vehicle with his roval
guests and to participate in this in
teresting experience. The. request
was OF course granted, and when the
coach was furiously assailed by howl
ing Indians its inmates were as usual
saved by gallant cowboys.
After it was over and as the roval
party were descending from the
coach, the emperor remarked:
Col Cody, l do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever
held four kings"
"No, your majesty" returned the
quick-witted scout, 'but this is the
first time ever held four kings and
a royal joker at the same timep'-

Fresh Water s

Fresh Water Springs in Midocean
Several fresh water fountains are
known to exist in the Gulf of Mexico.
where vessels have frequently filled
their casks with ice cold sweet water
that comes up like a geyser in the
midst OF the salt water. The fresh
water springs, as the sailors call
them, have been known in the gulf
for 200 or 800 years. They were dis
covered by early voyagers and were
the salvation of many a mariner
whose supply of fresh water ran
short while his ship was becalmed in
the doldrums. Some of the fresh
water springs are marked upon the
charts, but there is so little need of
them nowadays by the steamers on
the gulf and the sailing fleet is so
small that no attention is paid to
them, and they have passed out of
the knowledge Of the younger skip
