COMMON TYPE OF HAYRAcx.

ported Dy heavy framework or may
consist Of poles held In place by guy
ropes. The hay Is usually lifted by
means Of fork, but nets are In com.
mon use in some localities. The most
common style Of fork is that known as
the Jackson fork, or, outside Of Califor-
MIA, as the California fork. For alfalfa
the fork usually has four tines, but for
grass hay ave or six tines. BY means
OF small rope the operator upon the
wagon can dump the fork load Of hay
upon the stack at any desired point.
One or two horses. attached to the
lifting rope, or cable. furnish the power
to lift the load. The load on the fork
is swung over the stack by slightly
leaning the derrick toward the stack.
The fork then swings by its own
weight The empty fork is drawn back
to the wagon by means Of the dump
rope. Sometimes the load is swung
over the stack by hand. Another form
Of fork occasionally seen is the har-
poon fork. Instead of the fork there Is
sometimes used metz also called a
sling or hammock. Three or four Of
these are placed at intervals in the hay
as it Is being loaded. At the stacks
the nets full of hay are lifted from the
wagon to the stack by means Of der
ricks.
Another form Of stacker which has
proved very satisfactory is the cable
derrick. Forks or nets may be used
with this style. In eastern Colorado
and parts of Wyoming an improved
stacker is in common use.
The lunches may be brought to the
stacker with horse sweeps, but the dis
lance must not be great or there will
be too much loss of leaves. Hence the
stacks are smaller than when the
punches are brought by wagon.
The stacks of alfalfa are commonly
made about twenty FEET wide and
high and, as long as convenient, often
100 or more feet.

FIGURES TELL OF ADAMS ECON.
OMY AND PEABODY'S Ex-
TRAvAGANCE.
(From the Rocky Mountain News.)

(From the Rocky Mountain News)
At the head of a first page article yes
terday morning the Republican printed
in black type certain figures designed
to show that Governor Peabody spent
only $756,000 more than Governor
Adams and that Governor Orman spent
more than Peabody.
The figures, used as they were, were
simply foolish. They were taken from
the reports Of the state auditor and
were merely the footings of the credit
side of the state treasurer's ledger.
They include transfers in the perma-
nent funds and other matters which
have nothing to do with the actual
taxes received and expended by the
state.
For instance, the total disbursements
of the state under Governor Orman
were given as $4,672 $50 Yet in the de-
tails of the account, as printed in the
auditors report, one item alone is ST.
PSI ,607 of investment in warrants for
the permanent investment fund. On
the other side of the account appears
over $1.037,000 for investment fund
warrants and interest redeemed. These
and other similar items have no place
whatever in calculation of the states
actual income and expenditure, but a
mere trifie of a million and a quarter
in single item doesn't appear to mat
ter to the Republican in its efforts to
show that other governors have ap-
preached the Peabody standard of ex-
travagance.
The business man might as well take
the footings of his ledger showing the
total of his transactions for the year
and call it a showing Of the cost Of run
ming the business as to take the total
of the treasurer's books and call 1t the
states disbursements. The two things
are entirely separate, yet the Republic
can takes the total of the treasurer's
transactions for the year and prints 1t
as statement OF the expenditures.
The only true way to compare the
cost OF different state administrations
is to take the total of the current cash
actually expended in the different per-
iods and institute comparison. Cash
received from the United States gov
ernment. for instance, and turned over
to the experiment stations connected
with the agricultural college has moth
ing to do with the taxes paid by the
people OF Colorado. though it appears
on the books of the state treasurer and
is included in the total OF his transac-
tons.
The receipts from lease of state lands
belonging to the school funds and otner
collections for the school fund have no
relation to the cost of operating the
STATE. They have no relation to the
I taxes paid by the people. Whatever
money comes from those sources is
turned directly into the school fund.
\ et ,nis money, as n matter of course,
appears on lne books OF the state treas
urer. to account for its passage through
his hands, and the Republican included

NEWS FROn THE MINES AND MILLS
LeadviIIe's Low Grade Ores.

Probably no single event has SO at
tracted attention to the Leadville dis
trict as the extensive publicity given
to the recent discoveries in the Rein
deer mine and the developmnts in the
down town region. Nor are the condi-
tions grossly exaggerated, says the
Herald-Democrat. The possibilities Of
mining here are really marvellous. 1t.
is fact that Leadville has given but
little attention to low grade mining
which of course involves a study of
the milling possibilities OF the ore.
If every large mine in the camp were
equipped with a mill the results would
be astonishing. The mining man
cannot figure out profit in throwing
his low grade ore over the dump, even
If he believes that at some future date
the stuff can be shipped. There are
several mines in the camp, notably
those of the Western Mining Company.
which ship crude ore and also dress
the low grade material. thus handling
the latter to much better advantage.
What might easily be done with a
good property along this line is exem-
plified by the New Monarch mine on
Little Ellen hill The figures which are
used and the facts stated may be re-
lied on as being correct and official.
The New Monarch, as is well known,
has large reserve OF good grade ore
on hand which is shipped in it's crude
state to the smelter. But this mine
could be made into another Treadwell
bonanza from its low grade ore re-
serves alone.
According to estimates made by
General Manager Goodwin of the New
Monarch, the New Monarch vein is
1.500 feet long with depth of 1000
feet, that is not. on a perpendicular
line but from the apex to the lowest
point worked in the district 1000 feet
may be assumed, according to Mr..
Goodwin's figures to be the normal
depth to which Leadville ore shoots
have been worked. This vein in the
New Monarch which is estimated at
$40 ton. is forty feet wide. In many
places the vein is much wider. but Mr..
Goodwin figures this as the average
width. This makes G0,000 cubic feet
of ore for each foot of vein in the
strike. and with 1000 feet of depth,
we have 240,000,000 cubic feet of ore.
With twelve cubic feet to the ton.
there is 20.000.000 tons of ore that this
mine ought to produce. 1t makes the
tremendous figure of 5000. .000. 900. or
course the Herald-Democrat is not for
one moment asserting that there is in
sight or developed. any such amount
of ore, but this method of figuring is
perfectly legitimate as showing the
possibilities OF the New Monarch. The
development there is sufficient to
demonstrate the extent OF the vein and
its value. The possibilities Of treating
the mountain of ore by some good
concentration and separation method
are stupendous. They have not been
lost sight of by the New Monarch
company which is already figuring on a
milling plant

Increased Cripple Creek Output.

Once more the mines OF the Cripple
Creek district are yielding ore that in
value goes over the s2.000.0O0 mark.
Last month was the first month since
the strike was called that this enor-
nous sum has been reached. The total
value Of the ore mined in September
amounts to $2,041 900.
To obtain that amount OF gold It was
necessary to crush G0,350 tons of ore.
The amount would have been larger but
for the fact that the Telluride mill was
closed down for half of the month. and
the Sioux Fall cyanide plant was not in
operation at all. The increase Is due.
OF course. to the increased tonnage by
lessees as well as companies. The
Golden Cycle has resumed operations
and is yielding 100 tons of ore day
The w. =. II. made its banner output
this month The smelters took more
ore from the district In September than
they have for months past. The figures
as given out by the smelters and mills
follow.

OLD DENVER CIGAR SIGN.
Its Curious Early History and Many
vicissitudes.

II was reminded of old times" said
General Dave Cook last evening, when
| rode on q car past the corner OF Fif-
teenth and Blake streets to-day. I.saw
at the old corner cigar store the
wooden figure of negro. 1t seemed
to me Ike the image of an old friend.
"In 1854" resumed the general, that
old negro figure was brought to Den
yer from the Missouri river and. the
freight on 1t was $3.50. It was brought
overland. In those days It was the fin
est cigar sign in the city. and men
from the mountains came down and
made their headquarters in the cigar
store back of where 1t stood. The old
image has seen many shooting and
many q rough and tumble fight at the
corner.
Among the cowbows who visited
the town to blow in their years wages
for good time. 1t was a favor
ite trick to shoot up the sign. and at
one time 1t had no less than fifty bull
let holes in 1t. mostly in the region Of
the heart. The owner always puttied
up these holes and three or four times
a year he would apply a new coat Of
paint to the image. .l....
But to-day saw the figure looking
as we'll as 1t did the first day It was
brought to Denver. II was the same
old face I saw in 1865 when I was In
charge OF the provost guard OF Denver.
Then we had to send men to guard the
image. and to arrest the people who
undertook in their Drunkenness to
shoot at It."

store, it appears, was Mayor Brent

THE upholders of the governor have

then be justified? BY no means.
Miners AmenabIe to State Laws.
"A union miner is a private citizen
Ii he commits crime he does it as
private citizen, and his act in no way
reflects upon the impartiality and
Itrustworthiness of the government of
the state, which exists for the equal
protection of all the people.
IF a mob of private citizens drive
out of town fellow citizens who are OBJ
noxious to them, we condemn the mob
and call upon the lawfully constituted
authorities to subdue it, to punish its
members and to protect those it has
wronged. II the authorities do their
duty in such a case the final outcome of
confidence in the ability of the govern
ment to protect all the people in the en-
joyment of their just rights.
''Lawlessness committed by private
citizen does not necessarily weaken
confidence in the government, but law
lessness on the part of a public official
undermines that confidence in the state
which is the safeguard of social order
and security.
Doubtless mobs of union miners
have deported non-union laborers.
That is very serious matter, and it is
the duty of the state to interpose to
punish the guilty and to protect the
wronged. But when the chief executive
of the state, at the head of the state
militia, deports beyond the limits of
Colorado scores of citizens, against
whom no charge of crime is made, with
no shadow of legal warrant, simply by
his arbitrary will-that is as much
more serious matter as the governor
of Colorado is by his position a more
important parsonage than the nameless
unknown participant in a mob of min
ers. The nameless miners lawlessness
means simply that he is blackguard
and criminal. But the governors S
lawlessness means the failure of gov
ernment itself.
Thus it is that Governor Peabody
has done more for the Socialist propa-
ganda than all the Socialist orators
and editors in the country can do in a
decade.
Once let it become the conviction
of the masses that the state can no
longer be looked to for the protection
of every citizen in his constitutional
liberties and rights, but has become the
mere instrument through which the
wealthy class holds the common toilers
in subsection, and tremendous social
upheaval-such as we do not like to an
ticipate-cannot long be delayed.
1T seems to me, therefore, the part
of true conservatism to rebuke our
governor by retiring him to private life
hope he will be Overwhelmingly de-
feated, and that his downfall will mark
the permanent restriction of the consti-
tuition and the courts to their rightful
place"
