Special Telephone TO the Herald:
TELLURIDE, July 16.--The May
flower mine In Bridal Veil Falls basin
is one of the mines that has not been
effected by the labor troubles, owing
to the fact that only development
work has been in progress the past
year a few weeks ago a ten-stamp
mill near by was leased for the pur-
pose of sampling and treating some
ores. 1t seems some days the mill
would be operated steadily. and then
other days only few hours, or not
at all. and only stamps at any time.
Yesterday morning when Mr., Nioo
demus went to the mine with checks
10 pay on for the month he WAS met
by a committee and asked II the mill
was operated more than s hours per
day. Mr.. Nicodemus told the men Mr..
Davis was out of town. and he was the
one to see about the matter. The men
insisted on an answer, whereupon
they were informed If it was so much
concc~n they could pack their blan-
kets. AS a result the mine is closed
and 25 men who have been working
steadily 8 hours and receiving full pay
are out of Job

kind On the continent. 1t embraces
an area extending from Calgary for
l50 miles. and runs so miles north
and south. Through the center of
this tract the main line OF the Can
adian Pacific runs. The greater part
of three years has been devoted to
reconnaissance and preliminary sur
veys OF the proposed canal scheme and
the land to be served therefrom. and
the result shows that about one-half,
or 1,5OO.00O acres OF the block can be
Irrigated at an ultimate cost OF be-
tween 100000 and $5.OO0.O00.
A main canal twenty miles long.
with a bed width of GO feet, and car
rying water a depth of 10 feet, is un-
der construction. Some eighty-flve
miles of distributing canals have also
been located, and the completion of
this section Of the scheme at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000 will irrigate
an area of 300, 900 acres and render
available a contiguous area of about
100000 acres. for grazing and dalrying.
This portion of the scheme is to be
first completed and proved success
before and further extension Is under
taken, but If success is obtained, then
the necessary extensions viii be un-
dertaken TO finally irrigate the full
amount of 800 900 acres. and develop
the remaining 10000 acres for graz.
ing and dalrying.

1,75o,17s CHILDREN TOLL
FOR THEIR DAILY BREAD

WASHINGTON, July lG.-A special
report of the census bureau shows
that 1,750,17S children in the United
States are compelled to work for their
living They form more than per
cent of the total number of workers.
and the boys outnumber the girls al
most three to one, the figures being
1864 All boys and 1876 girls,
ThA the American nation Is not
made up entirely of workers Is shown
by the total, 29,073,233, which Is only
one-half of the population Of 10 years
a9d over, and about two-hfths of the
entire population. Still, the proper
ton of workers has increased almost
3 per cent over the former statistics.
In spite OF the constantly increasing
immigration, the proportion of foreign
born in the working population has
not increased.
The extent to which the world OF
business is drawing people from the
country is given emphasis. Manufac-
turing, trade and transportation and
the professions show constantly In
creasing numbers of workers OF both
sexes. while the agricultural class rep
resents a diminishing proportion, al
though 40 per cent of the workingmen
is to be found on the farms.
Domestic woes of various sorts have
a great deal to do with woman's In
vasion of the business world. for the
census man states that 80 per cent oil
the divorced women are working. and
80 per cent of the widowed. American
married women are as a class
d housewives, for the records demon
strate that only G per cent can be
classed as breadwinners. This is
shown still more conclusively when II
is stated that 81 per cent of the single
women are pursuing gainful occupa
tions, which would Indicate that few
remain at work after marrying.
The figures in the report do mol
bear out the general complaint that
household servants are scarce. About
40. per cent of the women employees are
in domestic or personal service, as
against % per cent in manufacturing
, and mechanics and only 9 per cent In
trade and commerce The profession
al women comprise only per cent
of the workers.
