obe Glacier Causes Disaster.

Judge Fred L. Collom, of this judicial
district, returned from trip to Yankee hill
this week where he is interested in the great
tunnel to be driven through James peak to
connect with the Moffatt line. He states
that he was present there when the damage
was inflicted by the moving of the glacier
into St. Mary's lake. Two or three sum-
mer cottages were demolished and thrown
into the water as if they had been little toy
blocks. The big hotel escaped with good
soaking. When the portion of the glacier
landed in the lade, a tidal wave swept al
most into the second story Of "Columbine'
lodge, the big hotel at that point.

On Ole Stock Exchange.

Trading on the stock exchange in the
Exchange block has been brisk during the
week The market has been steady with
old favorites ruling in the matter of sales.
Two or three new ones were listed from the
DEVILS canon district and the range of the
prices on prospects preferred from that sec
ton has been even healthier than anticipat-
ed Brookvale copper stocks stood during
the week we'll and came out with a margin
of gain to their credit. Trading in iron
propositions being worked around Chicago
lakes, was little light. 1t is believed that
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company is

Local Electric Line.

Resolutions were passed by the city
council suggesting the voting of bonds for
the purchase of the city electric line at the
last meeting in the city hall. Mayor George
Moscript states that only the line running
through the city and to 'Spion Kopje' can
be purchased by the municipality and that
the Chicago creek line running to Chicago
lakes cannot be included. The purchase
of the street car line from the Monarch
company will also include the purchase of
the spiral tower which conveys the tourists
automatically to the hotel grounds on the
heights above the city. Denver's recent
move for municipal ownership has created
considerable favor for the plan.

Siftings arrived this week and is being
placed in the new block for the paper on

the newspaper print is sensitized paper so
that as it passes through the long box it is
treated to a flash of electric light and this
flash turns the paper out finished product

Looks Like Bill Would Pass.

A wireless special to the Denver News
states that the bill introduced at the behest
of the administration to control railroads
will probably pass both houses of congress.
This bill provides that the railroads shall
sell freight stamps, to be issued to them by
the government, and that for illustration, if
party desired to send 100 pounds to Bos-
ton he would be obliged to purchase a
twenty-five cent freight stamp. If the same
package went to Denver it would cost the
same. The system is based on the letter
postage idea.

To 7 ry a New Scheme.

Preliminary steps are to be taken by
member of the city council at the next
meeting to revolutionize the liquor license
laws. He states that he believes the man
who takes a drink should be compelled to
take out a license and not the man who
sells it. In other words that each citizen
who desires to drink must go to the city
clerk and pay s. or s. for a license and the
saloons cannot sell to anyone having no
license, under heavy penalty.

Engineer Wiley states that the connec-
tions on all the drifts between the Central
and Newhouse tunnels have practically been
made and that the possibilities for stopping
are almost beyond the realm of mathemat-
les. On the Gem vein alone it is estimated
that the tonnage would keep all the mills
of the district busy for twenty-fv years.
All the veins discovered five years ago, run
ming almost at right angles with the Gem
across Seaton mountain, are proving to be
wonderfully rich.

Next Year To Be Located.

If the population of Idaho Springs is
shown to be II, 900 people, or more, in 1913
a third claas postal savings bank will be To-
Gated in connection with the postofice by
government authority. In case the figures
are below that the savings banks will be
conducted i'll connection with the local
national banks. This measure became
law through the efforts of Congressman
John Mitchell of Pennsylvania, and pro-
vides that the government stand behind the
savings deposited by the people who are de-
sirous of making the deposits.

WITHOUT LEADER
 ISSUE OR HOPE"
REPUBLICANS HOLD A BIG RALLY
 IN CINCINNATI AND SENATOR
 FoRAKER FOXES FUN AT THE DEMocRATs-oTHER SPEAKERS

Cincinnati, October 22.-The first and only rally that the republicans will have in this city this year was addressed to- night by Senators Beveridge, Foraker and Hanna The meeting was preceded by a parade of republican clubs. Music hall, with 8 seating capacity of over 5000. had it's standing room taken with crowds about the doors.
 Senator Foraker presided He reviewed former campaigns and their leaders, say ing there was never one like that of this year when the democrats had no issues and no leader-unless Tom Johnston is their leader. He reveiwed the old issues of free trade free silver, "Aguinaldo, the George Washington of the Orient" and other questions that he said had been found wanting and last of all was 'the strike which President Roosevelt had re- moved so that now the democrats were without issue, leader or hope
 Senator Foraker closed with euology on the junior senator of Indiana whom he then introduced. Senator Beveridge was received with rousing cheers.
 Senator Hanna, who followed MT. Beveridge, received a rousing ovation. He devoted his address mostly to state affairs and especially to his neighbor- Tom Johnson. He referred to the speeches of Foraker and Beveridge about the democratic party not having leader or an issue but he said they had heavy liabilities and a receiver in Ohio-Tom Johnson. Senator Hanna was both sar- castle and witty in his reference to John son. He said Johnsons plank on equal taxation meant for the other fellow to pay the taxes and his home rule plank meant that he was 'it" He said the only issue of the democrats in Ohio this year was Tom Johnson with all his sophistries, and the issues of the repub- licans were their record for forty years and the support President Roosevelt re- ceived in carrying out the principles and policies of Mckinley.

MINING UT COAL
 WILL BEGIN TODAY Thousands of Men Make Ap-
 pIication for Work ENGINEERS DISAPP0IN TED Many of Them Have No Places Opened to Them, But It Is Believed Most
 of the Non-Unon Men
 Will Leave Soon.
ENGINEERS DISAPPOINTED

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 22.-Rapid progress is being made by all the coal companies in the anthracite region to- ward a general resumption of coal min ing. The suspension officially ends at o'clock tomorrow morning, but the quan- tity of coal that will be mined this week will not be great It is not believed 25 per cent of the normal production will be reached until some time next week. There are number of mines that will not be in condition for operation for sev- eral months and there are others that will not be ready for the men under two or three weeks.
 The day was devoted to a general in- spection at most collieries to see what Is needed in the way of repairs before the men can cut coal. Every piece of ma- chinery must be gone over to see whether 1t is in fit condition to be operated before the fans in most mines can be started to drive out the gas and other impurities.
 Thousands of men of every class made application for work today. Under the decision of the convention those employ ed in the cutting and handling of coal cannot return to work until tomorrow, but workmen who are needed to make repairs and otherwise place the work ings in condition for operation were re- instated today wherever needed. There were many disappointments, however, principally among the engineers and pumpmen.
 These two classes of mine workers struck on June for an eight-hour day, and also to help the miners win their contest The positions are not so arduous as those of the miners and the wages paid are comparatively better. They want their old positions back but in many cases have failed. It is the opin- ion of the mine workers that the super interests will find way to re-employ all of them.
 One of the developments of the day was the great number of men who have been employed throughout the strike who left their places today. Hundreds were paid off by the several coal companies in this valley and the same is true of the other regions. It is expected more of these men will quit work in the course of the next few days.
 President Mitchell is now engaged in preparing the miners side of the case for presentation to the arbitration com mission. He will appear before the tri- bunal and will have with him number of assistants
 It is very likely that an announcement will be sent out soon to terminate the collection of the strike assessment levied in July on all unions of the coal miners.

NO SURPRISE IN UNITED STATES.
State Department Advised That Treaty
 Hung on Slender Thread.

Washington, October 22-The state de- partment was today advised of the ac- tion of the Landsthing in rejecting the treaty of cession. The action causes little surprise, for as already indicated in these dispatches. the advices received from Copenhagen indicated that the fate of the treaty hung upon the slenderest thread and only in case the treaty could be brought to a vote before members of the Landsthing, who were ill, had so far recovered as to be able to attend the session. would it be possible to succeed with the measure From the press ac- count of the vote, it appears that one of these i'll members unexpectedly ap- peared and turned the tide The of- fcials here are not precisely advised as to the legislative possibilities in Dem mark but even assuming that today's action Is final for the present session, they are disposed to view the situation philosophicaly, resting in the belief that it will be only short time before Dem mark will tire of making good a deficit in the revenues of the islands, and let us have them.
 Ii Is probable in view or the closeness of the vote in the landsthing. that the Danish government will decide to mane another attempt to secure the approvai of the treaty at a more suspicious time. This may be accomplished by the simple device of negotiating with the United States amendment to the treaty extend ing the time allowed for the exchange or notifications of the original treaty.

LANDS ILLENALLY HELD.
Col. John S. Mosby Says They Should
 Be Open to Homestead Settlers.

Washington, October 22-Col. John S. Mosby, special agent of the interior de- partment called upon the President to- day and laid before him the result of his investigation of the illegal occupation of public lands in Colorado and other west ern states by stock raisers.
 Colonel Mosby told the President that millions of acres of public land that ought rightfully to be open to the home- stead settlers were occupied by stock raisers. After concluding the investiga- tion it is making the interior depart ment, it is expected, will take measures to oust such stock raisers as are not occupying the public lands lawfully.

 Many carloads of live stock have ar- rived in the last twenty-four hours, and are now housed in the live stock tent, which covers 15,000 square feet. some me specimens of Alabama-raised cattle are under the tents, showing the state to be as well advanced in this line as others. Other stock will arrive today, and be rapidly given places in the tent. number of fine prizes are offered for the stock exhibits.
