TUNNELING IN COLORADO.
Oran Perry Describes Mining Opera
tiOns in that State.

Oran Perry has returned from Denver
where he attended the annual meeting of
the largest mining organization in Colorado.
1t is a cooperative association, with
membership of over 5000, many of whom
are residents of Indiana. Mr.. Perry, who
is vice president and director visited the
properties of the company, which are
known as the Big Two" and he tells of
the extensive development that has been
accomplished in the past three years and
of the work laid out for the future. The
company operates a number of mines at
Francis, Boulder county, all connected by
a tunnel over two miles in length and pro-
vided with a mill in which the cyanide pro-
cess has been successfully installed. 1t is
also driving the central tunnel at Idaho
Springs, Clear Creek county, at the rate
OF 200 feet month, having already pro-
crossed l,400 feet. which eventually will
reach Quartz Hill distance of three and
a half miles, travelling through a district

at the Boulder coal fields to furnish power

in operation within the present year The

MET THE "FIDDLING.v MAYOR.


Il met the fiddling mayor Of San Fran
CISCO said George w. Powell, who has
just returned from the K. of 2. encamp-
ment in California. You have often read
of the fiddling mayor" he continued, land
1 think the term is usually used in de-
rision. This mans name is Schmitt and
he was elected mayor of San Francisco by
the labor party. He was a violinist in
one of the orchestras of the city and was
taken up by the labor people and put in his
present place. l was agreeably disappoint-
ed in him. He is very popular, and heard
people out there talking of him as good
material for Governor. One of the first
things he did after being elected to office
was to issue an order that all of the city
employees should work but eight hours a
day. AS result the members of the fire
and police departments have their eight
hour shifts. The fiddling mayor stands six
feet and an inch in his shoes and is a
fne-looking fellow. No man could have
represented the city of San Francisco with
more dignity than he during the encamp-
ment.. From what l had read of him L ex-
pected TO see an entirely different man.
While the attendance on account of the
encampment was perhaps not as large as
the people OF San Francisco expected, il
was satisfactory to us considering the dis
lance the knights had to go. Had the en-
campment been held at a more central
point the attendance would no doubt have
been larger. AS il was | saw in one of
the San Francisco newspapers that the
clearances for the week in the city of
San Francisco showed an increase of a.
100000, and l think the encampment could
be considered a financial success. In the
East, in Pennsylvania and Ohio. where
our membership is very large, the coal
strike undoubtedly had an effect on the at
tendance from that part of the country.
Every courtesy was shown us by the city
of San Francisco. Instead of living in
tents, the knights had barracks in Mechan-
les pavilion, where Jeffries and Fitzsim-
mons met the week before From the army
tationed at Preside the government fur
nished judges for the prize drills, and also
loaned horses for the company of cavalry

share of the prizes. In the Supreme Lodge.
