The State of Durham.
Wilmington Star

Durham county is alive to the value
of good roads, and is making much
progress in constructing them that the
people of adjoining counties around Dur
ham want to be taken in and become
Durhamites. If this thing goes on and
the adjoining counties don't hustle in
providing good roads, and the wishes of
the people are complied with. Durham
will be a big county some of these
days.

Heavy Machinery.

The road from Walcott to En-
campment is thronged with long
freight teams, loaded with heavy
machinery for the smelter and
water works at that place. Huge
blocks of castings, fantastic in
shape aud huge in bulk, travel
through Saratoga almost every
day, going to the upper country
and the uses Of these huge cast
ings can only be surmised. One
such casting, weighing 1900
pounds, passed up recently and its
fellow followed shortly after. The
amount of heavy freight that goes
to the Encampment country is
truly amazing and shows that
there must be some work going on
in hat burg.

How Horn Spends His lays.

Tom Horn takes long walks each
day. For 30 minutes every after.
noon he strides rapidly around
the corridor surrounding the cells
of the ordinary run of prisoners
and in that length of time prob
ably takes as much exercise as
the ordinary free man does in an
entire day.
Horn is not permitted to speak
to a soul, not even his jailor. He
arises early in the morning, eats
his breakfast in silence, passes
the hours until noon in silence,
eats dinner in silence, takes his
walk in silence, eats supper in
silence and goes to bed in silence.
The other prisoners have been
strictly prohibited from passing
a word with him, and he holds no
other communication with other
human kind in any manner.
Horns half hour of exercise
comes between $3.50 and 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. Before $3.50
the common prisoners are herded
into their cells and told to stay
away from the doors until Horn
is through walking, They are
not permitted to talk among them
selves at that time, and the con-
demned mans promenade is not
disturbed by any other sound
save hal of his own footballs.
His cell door is unlocked aud at a
sign from the jailor he walks to
the top of the stairs leading to the
corridor and stops. At another
sign he descends and commences
his exercise. When his time is
up another sign sends him to his
cell and he is locked in.

That night we heard Parepa sing

Itseems but scarce a year.
But oh, that night our hearts were light
And JOY was in its spring:
For we had learned to love, that night
We heard Parepa sing.
Mute, mute, long mute that g%lorions soicei
But walking home tonight

The room within was light.
Deep cords were softly touched: and then

Clear, passion-thrilled. 1t was that song

All! gray, indeed! But, Dorothy.
My thoughts had taken wing.

And heard Parepa sing.

Mumm Acquitted.

Word comes from Rawlins that
the trial of Mumm, who shot
James Petrie twice at Fort Steele,
several months ago, had resulted
in Mumm's acquital. Just what
evidence was developed on the
trial to bring about this unex-
pected end is not known, but it
seems quite strange that a man
can use a gun on another, in such
an effective as Mumm did
on Petrie and then go scot free.
1t was not Mumm's fault that he
did not kill Petrie. He did his
best--and now a jury says he is
mot guilty of an attempt to kill"
In the meantime James Petrie,
broken III health and pain racked
with no immediate prospect of
recovery, drags out a weary and
unpleasant existance.
Truly the ways of %iuries are
past finding out.

ENLARGE RAMBLER SHELTER.
Present Capacity Of the Works now
there insufihsnt for the handling Of
the product Of the mine Good work
being done on the indianapolis.

NJ. NJ. Green, of the NJ. M.
Green Investment Company, of
Chicago, who is a part owner of
the New Rambler copper mine,
was in the city Monday, ON his
way out to the railroad. Mr..
Green reports that w1rk at the
New Rambler as progressing very
.favorably now. They are in a
very large body of covelite at the
present time, which is proving a
very rich find. Mr.. Green says
they are making preparations now
to increase the capacity of their
smelter at that place so tons. He
was on his way to Denver to see
about the machinery for the in
crease in the plant.
Edwin E. Chase, one of the best
mining men of Colorado, has
charge of the development of the
mine and A. J Moore, who was
for many years in charge of the
Chicago Copper Refining Com
pany's works, is in charge of the
smelter.
Mr.. Green says the prospects
are very bright for the Indian
apolis, on Cow Greek; upon which
work is being pushed as rapidly
as possible. He thinks that
claim will surely be a shipper by
this time next year. He says
that the mining interests of the
country at this time are far ahead
of what they were a year ago, but
nothing to what he expects to see
in a year from this date.

Thanksgiving Weather.

The snow storm that greeted
the people of this valley Tuesday
morning was really the first touch
Of winter that they had expert

though it caught many people

appearance. On Tuesday night
the thermometer dropped to one
degree below zero. Yesterday
was a bright, cheerful, sunshiny
day, with lots Of frost in the air.

THE SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT,
A Large Attendance and a Very Inter
esting Program-seme Splendid Reel
t%ations, Songs and Drills Much Inter
est Manifested by the Audience.

The entertainment given by the
scholars of the public school, in
Jensen opera house last evening
was a very successful affair. The
exercises began promptly at s
o'clock. The hall was crowded,
every seat being taken and late
corners were compelled TO stand.
The very best of order prevailed
and each act was heartily APP
plauded.
The scholars had been admirably
trained and the drills and recita
tations, as well as the dialogues
aud songs, were all very interest
ing. The exercises lasted until
lO:l5, after which the seats we're
cleared away and for a couple of
hours the children and their
guests enjoyed the pleasure of
dancing to the music furnished
by Mr.. Snyder and his band.
The grogram was a lengthy one
and nearly every piece rendered
deserves mention. Those who are
entitled to special mention are
Florence Nixon in her recitation,
Orphan Annie" Cedric Poole in
Give Thanks for What?" John
Mullison as a bad Boy and
Clyde German in ''Tending the
Baby. THE pumpkin Drill" by
the little ONES, was interesting:
the calisthenic exercises to music.
by the scholars of the primary de-
partment, was admirably rendered;
the Rose Drill" performed by a
class of girls from ~ to l6 years
of age, was very interesting and
the WAND Drill" which closed
the evenings entertainment, by
the older girls, showed excellent
training.
Prof. Rollman and his two able
assistants, Miss Nellie Rowen and
Miss Sanders, deserve much
praise for the manner in which
their scholars acquitted them
selves. The songs were well Sc
lected and all the recitations, dec
lamations and drills were so well
rendered that they evidenced a
great deal of hard work on the
part of the faithful teachers.
A very neat sun of money WAS
cleared by the evenings exercises,
which will go toward furnishing
the school with apparatus aud
other things needed by the schol-
ars in their work and for the help
and adornment of their daily
labors.
