Work On the Puritan.

George Steuart, who is conducting the
operations on the Puritan mine up Fall
river, was in the city Tuesday and reports
that work is being pushed to the limit
For more than two years Mr.. Steuart has
been the manager of this property and
during this time he has driven the tunnel
to a distance of 700 feet. No shipping
has been done for some months owing to
the fact that work entirely has been on the
tunnel where it is expected the large
veins will be cut in short time.
From the beginning the Puritan gave
indications of becoming a producer, but
after the shaft was sunk to the depth
from which the tunnel was to start ship
ping was stopped. There was enough ore
ON hand taken from the shaft to make a
thorough test and this was sorted and
sent away for treatment. Handsome re-
turns we're received and then the COM
pany decided that the proper thing to do
would be to cut the veins by means of a
tunnel. Two shifts are being worked at
the present time and it is the intention of
the manager to double the force shortly.
Mr.. Stuart is firm believer in the cy-
anide treatment and says that if it is
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
members of the company which he rep
resents that it is success cyanide mill
will be erected in the near future.
The Puritan Company is not corpo-
ration but is composed of wealthy eastern
capitalists. The gentlemen are firmly
convinced that the Puritan will prove to
be great producer in short time and
are not desirous of disposing of any of
their interests. They are at present max
ing preparations to secure a patent on
their property.
While here Mr.. Steuart received con-
signment of fry which he took back with
him to the Fall river.

Mr.. ELWOOD
AND HIS
SUCCESS
Development of Big Properties Assured Since
His Return From the East.


w. H. Elwood has returned from a
most successful trip to Philadelphia, and
is now in position to proceed at once
with the thorough development of the
Metropolitan up Spring gulch, and other
properties in which he is interested in the
district. Mr.. Elwood was an exception
ally successful promoter in the Cripple
Creek district, and was for years neigh
Dor of Secretary w. w. Kirby, of the
Cripple Greek stock exchange. When the
latter met Mr.. Elwood here and discover
ed that he was handling properties in this
district he remarked: "There is man
who will accomplish something for the
district. He will do it in a way that will
please the Idaho Springs idea, for he is in
no sense the ordinary promoter. good
mining man, and conscientious in every
thing, he is rather an exception, and it is
this that has brought him success. Those
who have invested in his properties have
found everything just as he represented it
to be, and they will always find it just
that way with him.
Mr.. Elwood found no trouble in raising
abundant money to carry on his work
while in Philadelphia, and states that
there is always money for investment
where the investor has some chance for
getting return for his investment.
He will devote his attention particular
ly to the Metropolitan, up Spring gulch,
which has already made an excellent
showing and furnishes every reason to
believe that it will soon be one of the big
propositions of the district. The Calvin
on Seaton mountain is another good prop
erty he has in hand, and we understand
a good shipment has been made from this
that netted rich figures. 1t is pretty hard
to dig up much information from Mr.. Ell
wood as he conducts his business on
conservative line.

time this week. AS soon as he is assured
that the switch will be pvt in he will
make application to the city council ask
ing for the privilege of erecting the
trestle. This trestle will not interfere
with the city in any way and will be a
vast improvement to the mill. 1t is not
thought that any opposition will be offer
ed by the members of the council.
F. Fremont Reed, the manager of the
mill and brother of the owner, says that
when the Improvements are completed
more values will be saved than from any
mill in the district.
1t is reported that Samuel Newhouse
has returned from his business trip to

is purely a matter of conjecture. Reports
can be heard on the streets that it will
open up and that it will remain closed.

THE sPEAKERsHIP AND THE
TARIFF


The Republican leaders do not feel
kindly towards Speaker Henderson for
precipitating a contest for the
speakership many months before
the matter can be determined
All through the coming ses-
sion of Congress the speakership cleo
ton viii be a disturbing factor in
legislation.
Those who think Mr.. Cannon of IL
llnois will have a walk over are likely
to ind themselves mistaken. There
are six candidates, namely. Mr.. Cannon
of Illinois. Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin,
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Sherman of New
York. Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine, and there
may be more.
A feature of the contest promises to
be the tariff. The Republicans would
not admit in the recent campaign that
the tariff was an issue, and hence did
not discuss it a great deal. They sim
ply eontended that the time for revis-
ing it was not opportune, and that
when the tariff was revised the revis-
ion should be made by its friends. 1t
looks however, as if they would dis
cuss the tariff question among them
selves during the speakership contest.
Mr.. Babcock is on record in favor
of tariff revision, though since he in
PRODUCED his bill to reduce the tariff on
steel and iron products he has bobbed
about on the question great deal
Still, it is recognized that he is the
candidate for those Republicans who
would like to see some changes made
in the tariff, and who believe that If
the Republicans do not rectify some of
its evils the Democratic party will be
given the power 10 do So Mr.. Cannon
doesn't seem to be willing to announce
his position on the tariff, though he is
from a state were there is a growing
sentiment in favor OF tariff revision,
especially of reducing the tariff on
trust made articles. Mr.. Littlefield is
also classed as a tariff revisionist.
On the other hand Mr.. Dalzell is the
candidate of the high protectionists
He doesn't want a single schedule of
the Dingley tariff changed. Mr.. Payne
and Mr.. Sherman are understood to be
in harmony with him. AS the sit
uation presents itself therefore it is
not at all improbable that there will
be spirited discussions of the tariff
question among the Republicans be-
fore the next speaker is elected.

DECLINE OF OUR FOREIGN COM
MERGE,

Much has been said recently about
the decline of our foreign commerce.
but is there not satisfactory expla-
nation of it? The decline has been al
most entirely in manufactured pro-
ducts, but it is evident that there has
been no falling off in the output of our
manufactures. If we are producing as
much, if not more, than, we did a year
ago the falling off in our exports
shows that we are consuming more at
home than heretofore, and not that
there is a less demand for our products
abroad. The United States Steel Cor
poration made a statement a day or
two ago which showed that 1t had or
ders enough to keep all of its plants in
operation for many months.
The same is true, in all probability,
of all the other manufactures of the
country. And there is a greater con-
sumption of food products. The truth
is that, owing to good crops for sew
eral years in succession and to fairly
good prices, the country is in a better
condition than it has been for a long
time. It's capacity for consumption
has increased faster than its produc-
tive capacity. Assuming that such is
the case, we have very satisfactory
explanation of the decline in the vol
ume and value of our foreign COM
merce.
During the year that our exports
reached the highest point our factories
had a large surplus for which they
had to find a market. They found it
in Europe, but not at the prices which
they were receiving in the home
market. Our steel mills, for instance,
could not find a market for a very
considerable percentage of their pro-
ducts at home. They sold largely
abroad, and thus the volume of our
exports were swelled. 1t is probable
that the same condition of affairs will
exist again, because there is "a steady
increase in the number of factories of
all kinds and it is not probable that
times will continue always to be as
good as they are at present. Hard
times will come again.
AS long as our factories are running
on full time and our crops are good,
and prices profitable. there need be no
uneasiness about a decline in our eX-
ports.
