THE PRODUCERS Of GOLD
Full Force the Order at
the Zeila.
Entire Works of the Keystone to be
Run by Compressed Air.-The
Kirkwood at a Standstill.

KIRKwooD.-We reported last week
that steps had been taken to reorganize
this company, under new manage
ment, and proceed to do considerable
shaft. E. II. Harrington and others
were willing to invest in the undertak
ing, if satisfactory arrangements could
be made to secure the necessary ex-
tension of time. 1t was shown that in
order to carry out the plans proposed,
it would be necessary to get bond for
five years. This the owner of the
ground seemed unwilling to give; four
years was the utmost time he was pre-
pared to concede. In this shape the
matter stands. 1t is hoped that the
property will not be allowed to lapse
into idlepess for the sake of one years
time. Those behind the movement
has the utmost confidence that the
| ledge will be found to the west. Too
much money has been expended already
to let the mine drop without further
prospecting.
We have since learned that five
year bond has been secured and opera
tions will be resumed shortly.
LINCoLN.-In conversation with E.
C. VOORHEES,, the president of this COM
pany, we were informed that the shaft
is down 1880 feet. 1t is the intentio n
to sink to 1000 feet before drifting. 1t
will be three months before sinking is
finished.
KEYSTONE. 1T is the Intention to
run the entire works by compressed
air, and use electric energy to compress
the air. A fine equipment is being put
in place for this purpose. The addi-
tion to the mill is making satisfactory
headway. Everything is being done
in the most substantial manner, with
cement floors and concrete battery
blocks.
BUNKER HILL.-The drifting opera
tions have revealed large amount of
low grade ore,> but too poor to mill.
The rock looks well, but carries little
gold. 1t is the intention to run several
hundred feet further on the vein in
the hope that the ore will improve in
quality.
SAENANDOAH.-A the Shenandoah
mine work is progressing very salts
factorily under the able management
of superintendent S. K. Thornton.
After sinking to depth of 500 feet
drift was run south distance of 1000
feet, then raise to the surface. Here
hoisting plant has been erected with
capacity for sinking 1900 feet, air COM
pressors installed, and all in readiness
to sink to depth OF 1000 feet 900 feet
deeper than the bottom of the raise)
with all possible speed. The location
of the mine and the quality of the ore,
together with the management and
backing of the company, is good as
surance that in the near future the
Shenandoah will become a dividend
payer, Wnlcn Will exert an influence
over the Plymouth mining district
that will tend toward placing the min
ing properties of this district upon the
same plane as in former years.
ZEILA.-The repairs to the shaft are
about completed, and both mine and
mill will resume operations with full
force in two or three days at the
furthest. This is by long odds the
quickest repairing work ever done to
the leila shaft, involving a shutdown
of only couple of months. On other
occasions the work has taken at least
four or five months, and sometimes
much longer.

BAD RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Broken Rail Throws an Excursion
Train From the Track.

Broken Rail Throws an Excursion
Train From. the Track.
Colorado Springs. June 29.-At 1910
this morning an excursion train On the
Colorado Midland railroad, coming
down Ute pass from Cripple Greek,
struck a broken rail and seven cars
were piled into a shapeless heap.
One man, Francis NJ English,
prominent musician of this city, was
instantly killed, and about thirty-six
passengers were more or less seriously
injured, three or four probably fatally.
The wreck occurred at an abandoned
station known as Culber's Siding, one
mile above Cascade. in Ute pass, and
twelve miles from Colorado Springs. A
passenger rate war that has been in ef-
feet for seven months between the rail-
roads running from this city to Grip
pie Greek had been called of, the rates
to go up July LIST. and as result the
traiA was crowded to its uttermost.
The ears that left the rails and went
over the embankment north Of the
track contained 81 passengers, and it
seems most miraculous that the death
list was not enormous. The second car
on the train, n day coach, was crushed
to kindling wood, being turned COM
pletely over on its end. so that the rear
end Of the coach was forward. The
third coach plunged clear through the
second and it was in the forward end
Of this ear that Mr.. English was killed.

OPPOSITION PLATFORM.
Resolutions Adopted BY Democratic
Conqressmen at Washington.


Washington, June 29.-A caucus of
the Democratic members Of the House,
held Friday, adopted the following res
olution:
the Republican majority in Congress
for their failure to pass a measure pro-
viding reciprocity with Cuba.
1.-THE bill which passed the House of
Representatives was heartily support
ed by the Democratic minority after
the protection to the sugar trust had
been removed by solid vote, aided by
a small minority of the Republican
members. AS it passed the house the
bill carried relief to Cuba, reduced the
price of sugar to American consumers
and struck heavy blow at the noto-
rious and obnoxious sugar trust. The
refusal of the Republican senators to
consider this measure, unless the pro-
lection to the sugar trust should be re-
stored, gives evidence that the presi-
dent and Republican party in Congress
are willing to refuse relief to Cuba
and totally ignore American consumers
rather than abandon their alliance
with the trusts.
'"The failure Of all reciprocity legis-
latiOn with Cuba rests upon the Re
publican administration, which is will
ling to reduce the duty on the raw
sugar Of our producers, but unwilling
to destroy the sugar monopoly.
"Second-That the Republican major
ity in Congress is dominated and con-
trOlled by the trusts and monopolies
which have the great industries of our
country in their grasp is shown by its
action in passing an antitrust bill
through the House Of Representatives
Of the Fifty-seventh Congress in the
closing hours of the session, the Senate
refusing to consider the same as sub
terfuge to tide over the election of
1900. That bill has been abandoned
and they have ever since refused and
do now refuse and fail to bring in any
measure to suppress the trusts or to
favorably report any of the numerous
antitrust bills introduced by Demo
cratic members during this Congress.
'Third-That We favor the immedi-
ate passage of measure to amend the
present antitrust law so as to more
fully protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monop-
Olies. and also a measure to reduce the
duties on all articles and commodities
manufactured and controlled or pro-
duced in the United States by a trust
or trusts. SO as to destroy such illegal
combinations. and to reduce the rate
Of duty on any articles or commodity
manufactured in the United States and
sold in foreign country more cheaply
than in the United States.
"Fourth-We oppose the adjourn
ment of Congress until the measures
mentioned above have been enacted
into law"
