ROMANCE AND
RICHES AT OURAY.
FIR nix Charles Cane Breaks Through
Into Cave that Turns Out to
Be an Abandoned Mine OF
Great Richness.

A story comes from Ouray of re-
markable find OF remarkably rich
mineral body The story is that
Charles was wandering over White
House mountain near the summit
when his cane broke through the sur
face of the ground into an apparent
cave. Investigation disclosed an
abandoned prospect tunnel claimed to
have been driven forty years ago.
Out of the circumstances the follow
ing romantic tale has been woven:
In the early sixties two prospectors
came into this country from Califor-
mia. Going up near the summit OF
White House they found n spring and
there pitched their camp. Near by
they found some very rich gold quartz,
found lead from which IL likely came
and dug tunnel about fifty feet long
AT the end OF this tunnel they found
the quartz body. as they anticipated.
but being without drill and powder
they found II difficult work
eli this time they were obtaining
their supplies and carrying them up
TO camp at great risk of life because
of the hostility of the Indians. They
were compelled to build their fires at
night to cook their food, and conceal
the blaze heblnd boulders SO that the
Indians would not discover them.
Finally they built fire against the
quartz and heated 1t almost red hot.
then threw water on 1t. After that
they broke of several hundred pounds.
carried 1t to the springs where they
| pounded 1t up and washed out the
| gold
| When they returned to the tunnel
to repeat the operation they found
the fire had not been extinguished
and clouds OF smoke were Issuing
from the mouth OF the tunnel. Load
ing burro with their bullion and as
much of their food and supplies as
could be carried, they made their
way with their scalps whole down
through New Mexico and out to Cali
| fornia.
| About two years ago an old man
died up in Shasta county. California,
in little cabin. attended only by a
young man to whom he gave a map
and told the story of the mine In the
Rockies. After the old man died and
was buried the young man came here
and contided his secret to miner.
with whom he climbed to the spring.
but after dlligent search could find NO
trace of the tunnel.

his search but without success.

The labor unions in the United
States will be interested in one of the
bills now pending in the French con
gress. which provides for an old age
pension of SIS year for every work

in France. II is not ms popular as IL
would be If people did not suspect an
Interior military motive. The pension
err Is asked to put aside l cent day.
il he earns less than 40 cents; cents
| If he earns between 40 and so cents
3 cents If he earns between 80 cents
and 81 a day and an increased amount
daily If his wages are greater than
the last sum named These savings
are to be deducted weekly from his
wages. under written contract with
his employer, and at the same time
the employer Is required to deposit
with the government a similar amount
for each OF his employees. This money
Is invested in bonds, and the interest
is allowed to accumulate until the
pensioner has reached the age of so
years. when he stops paying and be-
gins to receive dividends In case of
incap1city for work from i'll health,
accident or other reasons, before he
reaches the age of 65 he is allowed
pro rata according to the number of
payments made. For example, If he
has made twenty-five hundred pay
ments he will receive pension of $40
a Year: If he has made three thous-
and payments he will have si5. and
so on. The government will make up
the balance OF s72 year.
The custom OF making provision for
the support OF aged and infirm with
government assistance has always
been encouraged by the French par
lament and newspapers, and many
old-age ins rance companies are al
ready conducted under government
supervision, but this new scheme goes
far beyond any that has been previous
ly proposed in the way of paternalism
and, according to official estimates.

One feature of the plan, however
would not apply to the United States

The support Of dependent parents
cannot be called upon for military ser
vice, and old people who receive the
proposed pension will be ranked as
nondependents. Hence. 1t will release
large number of young men for mil
itary duty. The new plan is not real
ly needed, and that is one of the Sc
cret motives for It's enactment. There
are already more than 5000 socie-
ties and companies for old age insur
ance. with more than 100000 mem
bers, which have already in the gov
eminent treasury nearly s75,000.0O0
and annually pay out more than $780,
100000 for old age and invalid pen

What has become OF the fuel brique-
ties promised year ago when the
monopolistic grip on coal and the
strike in the eastern mines opened
such an alarming prospect of general
provation and suffering? Briquettes
are in common use in Germany and
France and furnish an excellent fuel
at a steadily reasonable price. Euro
pean briquettes are far more Clearly
than coal and their heating quality is
entirely satisfactory The waste of
coal mines enters largely into their
composition There is plenty of such
waste in the United States, but pos
sibly that also is cornered to such an
extent that the briquettes proposition
has been hushed. An announcement
recently made is that swamp mud can
be easily converted into fuel with
65 per cent of the Matchmaking pro-
perties of anthracite Look out now
for the absorption by trust of the
Great Dismal swamp and the ever.

CLEAN UP THE ORCHARDS NOW
One Weeks Work viii Save Much
More Labor Next Spring.

During late years the number of in
sects which infest orchard fruits has
been greatly increased. and various
forms of fungi are more widely dis
tributed. Growers need to be vigil
ant in trying to overcome these pests,
for at best 1t is hard fight.
Al this season Of the year start
can be made toward fighting the foes
of next years crop. In every orchard
there are scores Of insects which will
pupate and pass the winter beneath
rough bark, in forks of trees, In num-
mied fruit OF the trees, etc. Spores
of fungi will lie dormant through the
winter in very much the same hiding
places. Cleaning up the orchards at
this time will get rid of many of these
pests which would otherwise become
serious enemy to next years fruit.
Growers should be ESPECIALLY careful
to remove all dried and mummied
fruit from the trees. Spores of varl-
Gus fungous diseases will pass the
winter in these fruits, and all should
be taken on and burned Rotten APP
pies should be destroyed and not al
lowed to lie under the trees during
the winter. II hogs cannot be turned
in to eat this fruit It should be raked
up and burned. A little care in the
proper cleaning up of the orchard will
save much work next spring.

NOT A FAIR COMPARISON.

The most striking comparison Is be-
tween San Juan and Bernalillo coun-
ties; the former county, without a
mile of railroad. shows a per CAPITA
valuation of SIS more than the latter
which contains the rich and prosper
Gus city of Albuquerque. This is not
as 1t should be The spirit of reform
should descend like dove on the
heads of those who have fair and Just
assessment In the old counties as well
as in the new.-Las Vegas Optic.
That is not a fair comparison. as
our neighbor of the Optic will see in
moment If he will stop to consider
II. San Juan is strictly agricultural
county, without n big town within its
borders; the population Is small, prac-
ticaily all the people own their own
farms and are all comparatively well
OF. while Albuquerque, which contains
the bulk of the population of the pres
ent Bernalillo county. is manufac-
turing town and has more laborers
and operatives who do not own cents
worth of taxable land property, than
there are people, all told, in San Juan
county. These are all citizens. but as
they don't figure on the tax roll they
reduce the per capita.
There is not a county in New Mex
leo. and but very few anywhere in the
United States. where there is less ac-
tual poverty, or smaller proportion
of the people who own no taxable
property, than In San Juan county
