the statements issued from headQuar-
tiers at the various points the orders
are being generally obeyed, and in
larger numbers than were anticipated.
In certain cases where only few hun
dred were expected to be involved, the
indications are that the number will
be increased fifty per cent. The num-
ber of firms signing indicates that in
the localities where the agreements are
being made the strike will not last
over a few days. In other localities.
where a larger number of men are be-
ing involved, l look forward to an ad-
justment being reached within the
present week."

LEADVILLE OWNS THE WEALTH
THAT LIES UNDER HER STREETS

sent of the city, did eXcavate and con-
vert 0 its own use large quantities of
iron, silver and lead-bearing ores of
the value of $4,000. At the time the
city filed suit and in addition to ask
ing for damages in the sum of $780,
600, requested that perpetual injunc-
ton be granted the city, restraining
the company from removing more ore
without the city's consent. This ac-
ton was commenced in the District
court and during the pendency of the
trial the case was non-suited and the
city appealed to the higher courts with
the above result.
The contentious on both sides in the
case of the city of Leadville against
the St. Louis Smelling and Re-
filming Company are about the same as
in the Coronado case, but it appears
from the pleadings that the city asked
for S150,OOO damages, the estimated
amount of the value of ore extracted
from beneath the streets and alleys by
the st. Louis company. 1t was in 1899
that the company commenced to work
under the streets. The contention of
the mining companies was that the
mine working employed by them We're
more than 400 feet beneath the level
of the streets and that the eXcavating
and mining so done did not in any way
interfere with the free and full use of
the surface On this point Justice
Steele says:
NO authority is cited in favor of the
proposition, and we think none can be.
We think the position untenable. The
mining companies have no right to
construct subterranean passages.
Doubtless the public in proper cases
may construct and authorize the con-
struction of subterrunean passages
for the accommodation of the public; I;
but the right is public, and not private,
and is to be exercised for the public
good and not for private emolument."
The opinion in these two cases will
probably be important to other cities
in the state similarly situated.

PIXIES PEAK CLOUD
BURST PLAYS HAVOC

Cripple Creek, Colo, May 20.-The
two largest reservoirs of the Victor
water works, neaf the head of Little
Beaver creek, went out this afternoon,
sending n wall of water twenty feet
high down the gulch. One bent Of the
high trestle on the Short Line railway
was taken out, stopping traffic for
probably two days. The great wave
of water rolled down the gulch, wip-
ing out three dwelling houses near the
Spinney mill and breaking against the
new steel concrete dam of the Pixies
Peak Power Company, two miles be-
low. Fortunately the engineer for n
freight engine crossing the trestle saw
the wall of water coming down from
above and started the engine whistle
blowing as n warning, while driving
his engine across to safety.
The inmates of the cabins in the
sweep of the water heard the whistle,
rushed out, and seeing the water com
ing down upon them, escaped to the
hills. The big dam of the Power
company showed the metal of which
it is made by withstanding the mighty
Onrush of the water. The commissary
was swept away, the men escaping to
the hills. Water poured four feet over
the top of the dam, but receded in
thirty minutes to the normal height.
No lives were lost.
A cloudburst on Pixies Peak took
out the reservoir dams, which had
been weakened by the heavy rains of
the past week. Superintendent Krat-
ger of the Victor system will start re-
pair work at once, but it will be
long and difficult job. Victor is left
with 800 gallons of water stored in the
Battle mountain and Bull hill tanks.
This, with careful outstanding, will
last two weeks for domestic purposes,
but the mines which have been rely
ing on the city plant for supply will
be shut off and some of them may be
forced to shut down. The telephone
line from Cripple Creek to Colorado
Springs was carried away by the
floods. The damage to property will
be about 5000.

BUFFALO EXPOSITION
GRANDLY DEDICATED

Buffalo, n. Y, May 20.-Thls was
dedication day at the Pan-Americnn

imposing ceremony.
The military parade formed Mt the
city hall and the streets radiating
from it, and the foreign and state COM

about the city hall was brilliant one.
The foreign representatives came In
evening attire and there were doz-
en- military and naval officers In full
uniform In the group.
Senators Lodge and Hanna were
early arrivals ut the city hall, while
Vice President Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Milburn did not arrive until late.
The parade started for the Temple of
Music at 1910 n. m. State troops led.
followed by United States artillery
men. The Mexican contingent fol-
lowed, and after them more militia
men. Vice President Roosevelt re-
viewed the column from n carriage.
At 1890 o'clock the galleries of the
temple were opened TO the public and
as soon as they filed the portals We're
closed by the police. Twenty minutes
later President Milburn led the speak
ers and special guests to the platform.
As the closing strains of the Hnllelu-
jah chorus, played by the Seventy
first Regiment Band. died away, Bish-
op Fowler offered the opening prayer.
President Milburn began by reading
kilograms and cablegrams of con-
gratulntory nature received during the
day. commencing with that OF Presl.
dent Mckinley.
The speech OF Vice President Roose.
welt aroused high enthusiasm, and he
was wildly cheercd as he took his seat.

Frederick Almy read poem. Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff spoke and
Bishop Walker pronounced the bcnc-

FIFTY THOUSAND MACHINISTS
STRIKE FOR A NINE.HOUR DAY

Washington, May 21.-Approximate-
ly 10000 machinists throughout the
country struck yesterday for a nine
hour day, scale of wages equal to the
present ten-hour per day scale, and
other demands.
Above is a rough estimate Of Presi-
dent OConnell of the National Asso-
citation Of Machinists, based on tele-
graphic advices that have reached him
from the machinists' headquarters in
the various cities. The strike thus far
has not extended to the allied trades.
save In one or two instances as at
Scranton, Pennsylvania. where men in
a part of the allied trades are out.
No machinists engaged in govern
ment work are affected. This is due to
the fact that on such work an eight
hour day scale already prevails.
Railroad machinists, as rule, are
not involved in the strike, though the
men on several roads are out. The
Central Vermont shop machinists at
st. Albans, numbering probably 200,
have struck. The Lehigh Valley rail-
road machinists at Buffalo, Sayre,
Wilkesbarre and Elmira are out, ag-
gregating about 500 all told. The Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western Mt Buff
falo, Scranton, Wilkesbarre and inter-
mediate points are out. The Gulf, Col
orado and Santa F'e men are also out.
The strike order, however, does not
apply to the railroads generally.
The situation this afternoon was
summarized by President O'Connell in
the following statement:
1--WE are demanding a nine-hour day
universally throughout the trade, with
an increase of wages sufficient to over
come the loss of the hour in time: reg
ulation Of the apprenticeship system
and the number that shall be employed
in accordance with the number of
journeymen machfnists employed; I;
agreements as to arbitration of all dis
putes that may arise in the future The
right of the machinists to be represent
ed by Il committee; and agreements
that there shall be absolutely no dis
elimination against machinists be-
cause of their membership in the union.

Denver, May 21.-Two suits peril
nent to the property owners and tax
payers of Leadville were decided by
the Supreme Court yesterday in favor
of that municipality. The decisions
are sweeping legal triumphs for the
city and the result of both cases,
which have been pending in the state
courts for many years, practically
give Leadville possession of the work
ings Of large and valuable mining
properties located beneath the streets
and alleys of that city, the value of
which on their face mean large pc
cuniary profits to the city.
The cases in point are the City of
Leadville VS.. the Coronado Mining
Company ct al, and the same against
the st. Louis Smelling and Refining
Company. The decision covering the
latter case is in n large measure con-
tingent on the opinion handed down in
the former case. both being written by
Justice Robert w. Steele. The mining
companies affected are the Coronado,
the Home Extension. the Cloud City,
the Sixth Street shaft and the Starr
placer. All of these companies have
extensive workings under some of the
principal streets of the city and have
taken out large sums of money from
ore extracted from those workings. In
concluding his opinion in the Coronado
case, Justice Steele sums of in the fol-
lowing pertinent paragraph:
IF Leadville has large and valuable
deposits of ore under her streets it is
her good fortune, and such ore can
not be taken without her consent In
extracting ores from beneath the
streets and alleys of the city, without
the city's consent, the companies are
mere trespassers, and the municipality
is entitled to remuneration under the
law applicable to such cases"
According to the opinion of the Su-
preme Court the Coronado Mining
Company has been trespassing since
July, 1896, when it, without the con-

QueIIing a Panic.

The New York Mail and Express tells
how woman's self-control and good
sense averted serious disaster.
A street car caught fire In the tunnel
above Thirty-fourth street. The car
was crowded. A puff of smoke came
up from somewhere about the wheels
at the forward end, and three women
In the second seat leaped In horror to
their feet A man rose and called to
the conductor In sharp tone:
"Can't you see your car is on fire?"
A girl with big bundle In the second
seat tried to fling herself Off the car
against the stone wall. The conductor
began calling:
keep your seatsI Don't be alarmed!
You can't get out until you get to Thir-
ty-fourth streetp
Then lady in the front seat turned
and put her hand on that OF the girl
with the bundle, who was qulvering
and trembling In every nerve and mus
Gle.
"We are safe! The conductor would
not take us on II there was anything
else to do," she said, In clear, gentle
voice Of authority, smiling into the
girls dazed eyes. I'VE are safe"
The girl calmed down like baby at
its mothers touch; the other passen-
gers hardened to the conductors COM
mand to sit down, and obeyed like chill
dren.
When the car got out Of the tunnel
and was vacated, the lady disappeared
in the direction Of Fifth avenue. She
had undoubtedly quelled panic and
saved life.
