succeeds Col. Swayne, is pushing the
preparations for an advance against

necessity of awaiting supplies.

much ammunition, 1000 spearmen and
immense reserves of camel and sheep

NEW TOWN OF CUSTER
Will Have Electric Lights and
Mountain Water-Lots
Sold in June.

John Nelson, who WAS given the
contract for sinking the Bassick
mine, has increased its depth 800
feet during the last six months
and it is now 1,450 feet deep.
Tunnels will at once be driven
from the main shaft to the ore
bodies, and as soon as these are
opened the production will vary
from 200 to 300 tons per day. This
work, however, will not be finished
until June.
The Rio Grande is contemplat-
ing extending its line from West
cliffe to the Bassick, SO that the
mill ore can be hauled to the mill
which will be built at Grape
Greek.
The American Flag company
has opened up a body of quartz
and iron at the 100 foot level
Twelve feet of this stuff has been
entered, but the company intends
exploring further, 30 as to ascertain
it's extent, II is thought that be-
fore the end of the year this mine
will be added to the list of ship
pers.
The Custer County Mining &
Realty company has laid off a new
townsite, Just south of the Ameri-
con Flag mine. The new town
will be named Custer and it is
expected that lots for building
purposes will be placed on sale
about June lst. Plans have been
draw for water system and cleo
trio lights.
Two shifts of men are employed
on the Poorman, southeast of the

near the surface in this property,
but the shaft will be sunk to a
depth of 200 feet to more thor

MUST BUY NEW WATCHES

The Rio Grande Railroad COM
pany inaugurated system of
watch inspection which is causing
no little Consideration among the
employees of the road Heretofore
there has been little attention paid
to the kind of watches used by the
men. Now, however, they will bs
subject to close inspection semi
annually and to weekly compari-
son with standard time keepers. All
watches used by employees of the
road will be required to be of q
certain standard.
The order will effect division
superintendents, train masters,
train dispatchers, road masters,
conductors, brakemen, engineers,
firemen, hostlers, yard masters,
switch engine crews, foremeu,
bridge and section foremen, except
that brakemen and firemen will
not be compelled to purchase
standard watches or submit their
watches to an examination until
they have been in the service of
the company six months. Promo
tions will not be made unless the
men have the required time pieces.
The standard will be what is
known among American move
ments as l7-jewel, patent regula-
tor, breguet hair spring, lever set,
adjusted to heat, cold and position,
and isochronism, the variations of
which must not exceed thirty
seconds per week; the above rule
to apply in all cases, except where
a 10. jewel watch meeting ali other
requirements is already in the
service, and found by the inspec.
tor to be reliable.
To make the order easier on the
men arrangements to have the in
spector sell watches on monthly
payments will be made.
Heretofore there has been no
strict inspection of the watches of
the Rio Grande employees and the
order will be somewhat of a hard
ship because few of them have
watches which will meet the re-
quirements. The new system of
watch inspection is the same as
has been used on tho Missouri
Pacific for years and found very
satisfactory. The order comes as
a result of the appointment as
chief time inspe ctor, F. u.
Hugunin, who holds the same
position on the Missouri Pacific,
1t is understood the order is the
result of the Gould interests be-
ing in control of the road.-Pueblo

In Lent. the papal raiment from
shoes to cap is of scarlet The Easter
season calls for white. Other holy
days demand other colors.
Every item of each costume Is the
finest and richest of its kind. The sur
plices worn Mt audiences are OF price
less old lace Nowhere in Europe il
there a more valuable and interesting
collection of lace.
The slippers OF the Pope are legion
and each pair is of finest velvet. The
right slipper which Is kissed by pill
grlms and other pious visitors, bears
n cross In gold embroidery: while, on
the left, are embroidered the crest,
keys, tiara and pallium which make
up the crest of the Roman church.
But the slippers fade into inslgnifi-
canoe before the value of the innumer-
able pairs of gloves. These gloves are
of finest white wool.
That sounds modest; but, as 1t hap
pened, the wool is embroidered In cost
~ pearls. The material for the gloves,
as for all wooden garments worn by
the Pipe. Is made from the fleece OF
special flock of sheep dedicated to
this purpose and owned by a family
that has since the middle of the six
teenth century enjoyed the privilege.
From this herd of fifty sheep, num-
Der of lambs are set aside each year.
On Jan. p these lambs are taken to
the Pope aud, In an impressive cere-
mony, receive the papal blessing. After
that, they are kept for a year at a
convent near Rome and are cared for
I'm the most elaborate and punctilious
fashion.
The year being passed, the lambs
are shorn and the nuns weave the
fleece into palliums for the Pope. The
pallium, a long strip Of white WOOL
adorned only by gold cross at each
end, Is the most sacred of priestly vest
ments. and is worn around the neck
and body, the ends falling over the
left shoulder Before Pope Leo wears
one of his many palllums 1t must lie
for certain length of time upon the
sarcophagus of St Peter
Many of the papal yestments are set
with rich jewels and stiff with gold
and silver; but these gorgeous gar
ments are seldom worn since the Vati-
can lost its temporal power and the
Pope has given up grand public cere-
monies One of the jeweled robes, the
famous cappa magma, or great cape,
Is so thlckly set with gems that its
weight alone would prevent the old
and frail Pope from wearing 1t.
Pope Leo XIII. Is fond of jewels and
has remarkably valuable collection
of rings, but only three of them are
official. The Fisherman ring, carved
with representation of st. Peter fish
ing, is the Popes official signet ring
and Is destroyed at the death Of the
wearer, duplicate being made for his
successor.-New York Sun.
