ing of the directors of the Chicago.

held in this city Thursday afternoon,

craftsmanship of the executive commit
tee short time ago, claims to have Sc
cured sufficient stock to control

of the old officials of the road-nlen
who had grown up with it-replacins
them with men from other lines. mainly
from the Northern Pacific. General
Manager Goodnow has not had the au
thority to save the old employees de-
spite his desire to do so. and lie Is
working with Mr. Gable to secure the
control OF the present meeting. Which
ever faction controls the meeting will
make many radical changes In the sys-
TEN during the next year W. III.

Will Not Build the Sewer.

Eldora, Oct 7.~-On account of the
very uncertain condition of the weather
and as the ground is very full Of wa
ter this fall the sewer committee of
the Eldora council have determined not
TO construct the $4,000 sewer extern
sion which they had contemplated
building this fall. The people voted
the bonds for this Improvement and
the committee had arranged to prepare
and advertise for bids, but are afraid
that the rains of the past two years
have so soaked the ground that It
would be very unwise to attempt to dig
up some of the streets this fall and
winter The bonds were to be sold by
the city treasurer to the lowest bidder
and he received many opportunities to
float the securities at home and in
the Iowa market.

MINING HAS
 VERY FASCINATING PHASE

Over in MonJezuma canyon in the Huachucas. since the advent of the powerful Michigan company, the in- tense interest of the mining public has been largely centered in the his tory of that district. A sors of TO- nance hangs about its silent peaks, a touch of mystery follows the wild contortions of it's somber canyons, while on its sunny slopes, faint echoes from the weird chant of the Aztec shepherd, seems to finger and touch the ear of modern generations with iudescribable emotion.
 Up on the Texas mine. originally the Montezuma Gus. Baron conducted us to a sorry little old dilapidated incline ain ras had for centuries, perhaps. utilized the sheltering hanging wall, and piled their promiscuous store be- heath it friendly shadow. The foot wall was covered with debris which i time and the clements had unraveled and strewn in wild profusion, the way which the strangers feet now sought. But kneeling low and groping for ward We reached the rugged breast where centuries ago, the bony fingers Of some helpless, hopeless peon had relaxed from the cruel bar of servi- . tude, and a life of wretchedness pass ] ed back into that indefiinable eternity from which it came All over the breast of this shaft the holes were driven about a foot apart. They were some two inches in diameter. some Is inches deep and as smooth i and systematical as the bore of a ! howitzer. some were full length. with no indications of ever having been loaded, others were broken out part of the way. Most of them broken clearly back to the very end All that were broken at all contained some of the lime employed in breaking the rock. The material with which they were dealing was an exceedingly high grade article, being about 10 per cent copper. 20 per cent lead and 30 per cent zinc. being very tough, and it IS difficult to understand how it could be so ef- fectually broken by the primitive meth ods employed. Nevertheless it was done, and the Imagination of the edU- cated miner of today cannot but fol- low these wTetched slaves in their labors and picture out their lives. as with slaves food, a slaves labor and a slaves brief rest beneath the stars. he struggled on in his hopeless course even unto the end"
 MonteZuma canyon is a center of multitude Of natural and antiquarian wonders, and it is to be hoped that the new management will preserve them from the hand of the modern vandal who has a morbid passion for desecrating these wonderful totems of prehistoric conditions.

He lowered his ample proportions down through the shaft by the light of a fiickering glim. Just what Lem wanted there will never be known, as he is no more stuck on water than we are. Any way he started to paddle of, the the spooks or something else turned the boat over. and where was Lemuel when the light went out? Lem was rescued with some difficulty and since that the owner of that mine says he will not allow any more suckers to be planted in his pond.

A train of new steel ore cars, each. of the capacity of 50 tons. propelled by roaring old No. comes rolling majestically up the grade and anchors out under the collassal 1000 ton ore bir below the Calumet and Arizona. The company are driving the ore bin spur into the hill .excavating and utilizing the lime as they proceed. The distinguished Col. Foreman directs the loading of the ore train while the complaisant Captain Beck. the smooth Sergeant Gray, the oily conductor. and the only Weedin. handle the ponder ous treasure train on its way to Doug las.
 These reliable gentlemen are au- thority for the statement. that their train carries 300 tons of ore a day be- sides several cars of lime and silicate.

THE GERTRUDE HAS
 A HANDSOME LEDGE

Away up in the Huachucas where
 the baby pine shakes the snow down
 the back of your neck as you grope along the steep trail and the blue tail
 fly never ventures, where mountain
 streams are daShing and countless
 crystals of ice and snow are gleaming
 like million diamonds in the rising
 sun. where the giant spruce and fir
 and long leaf pine cumber the earth
 and exclude the sun of heaven all the
 year around, there. is the Gertrude, one Of the eight great lodges belong ing to the HuachuCa Consolidated De
 velOpment comra1y.
 Jus; what sentimental member of the concern named the Gertrude is no special business of ours, but if the lady for whom it was named is as pre- possessing as the ledge that bears her name she is exceedingly fortupate. The gertrude is one of the most prom inen, lodes in the big group, cropping out prominently for thousands Of feet. in some places over 50 feet high Its average width is about eleven feet. which it maintains with remarkable uniformity. Along the surface it has been gouged almost from end to end. demonstrating that chloriders found the ore available for shipping and
 arastTa purposes long years ago when the nearest railroad point was 60
 miles away. The property is essen
 italy a gold proposition, but some ele-
 ganJ bodies of copper, along with silver and lead have been brought to light. The present owners have in augurated a systematic plan of de velopment operations on this as well as all the other ledges on the property.
 the work 10 be personally superintend- cd by Mir. Palmerlee who has already demonstrated his ability to figure with preeminent success in that important capacity. Three shafts have been
 sunk on the Gertrude ranging from 40 to 90 feet in depth, the ore improving at every stage.
 1 A crosscut is now in progress which
 will be about 100 feet in length. It will i cut the ledge at depth of about 75 | feet, that being beneath the lowest | point on the surface of the ledge, so that in drifting from this crosscut ! either way, the boys will be putting
 ground over their heads at the rate of | one foot to every three. The ledge has been thoroughly tested to a depth of 90 feet. including elaborate mill tests and will average in the neighborhood ! of S11. The values are thoroughly distributed, there being no flash speci
 mems. and no poverty stricken spots ! to make general average with them The ore tends to run into sulphuretts with depth, and constitutes one of the finest concentrating propositions we ! have ever aeen. Doubtless some good news will come from this splen- did lode when the new crosscut strikes 1 the ledge.
