from their homes and families,
driving them out at the point of
the bayonet,- disregarding the
orders of the court, as we'll as
all regularly constituted author
ity.
For illustration we quote from an ex
change: ''When General Sherman M.
Bell was informed to-day that Judge
Theron Stevens in the district court of
Ouray county had ordered him and Cap
tain Bulkely Wells arrested and con-
fined in the Ouray county Jail for con-
tempt of court said: If Sheriff Corbett
takes us to Ouray it will be over the
dead bodies of all the soldiers under my
command in this county," 1t will thus
be seen from the foregoing that this
bespangled thug is possessed in a con-
spicuous degree by the zeal which
prompted Artemus Ward to offer to
sacrifice his wife's relations upon mis-
country's alter. But no matter how the
disgracefull affair may end, Colorado's
integrity as conferred in her courts, her
institutions, and indeed her entire char
acter, civic and military, has been shat
tered equally with. that of her law-de-
flying governor. whose niche in the
Temple of Fame will be placed, no
doubt, in the vault with that of his
more illustrious fellow-ruffian, Grover
Cleveland.

A dispatch to the Spokesman
Review from Lewiston says: eek
City feels the shut down of the
American Eagle keenly.', The
Reviews correspondent is I'M
fortunate in his choice of terms,
Elk City does not feel the shut
down keenly or any other way.
Since that mine closed down e.
nough others have begun opera
tons to more than take up the
idle men caused by that suspen-
sion. True it might have had a
bad influence upon possible in
vestors in this district were it
not so widely known that mis-
management and a side operation
very like the elusive shell game
was responsible for the deficit.
That it required pretty coarse
work to secure that deficit goes
without saying. The retribution
however, will, as usual, overtake
the innocent. Those issuing
checks here in the future will
find most of the inhabitants are
from Missouri.

Mineral Deposits In
The Philippines.

In report on the Mancayan and
Suyoc mining districts in the province
of Lepanto, A. P. Wright says: The
mining possibilities of this section are
the best known of any mining zone in
the archipelago. 1t has produced more
copper and gold than any other, and
that from the surface. 1t has had a
reputation as a mining center for CEN
turtles and yet no one knows anything
of the ore deposits below a depth of
100 feet. At Macayan some crude and
unsuccessful attempts have been made
at legitimate development by the own
ers of the Mancayan copper mine, but
the manner in which the work has been
done leaves the field of deep mining
virgin. In the mineral zone extending
from some two miles north to Manca-
yam to two and half miles south of
the barrio of Suyoc, the lodges are
strong, standing up in places more than
a hundred feet above the surface.
The Igorrotes, natives of this section,
have followed mining as far back as
their traditions go, and have mined
both gold and copper on this belt for
300 years. No statistics have been
kept save from 1910 to 1855. During
these fifteen years they, according to

porphyry In its character the dyke has
been no doubt largely responsible for
the ore disposition The quartzose
mass lies on a quartz diorite foot wall
and is parallel on the west at a distance
of about 1000 yards with feldspatic
porphyry dixie. Copper veins are found
along both contacts with the diorite.
At Puckdaw hill the belt widens into
large kidney and becomes ore bear
ing. A central ledge occurs carrying
veins of varying thickness containing
payable gold with slight copper values.
There are many smaller veins parallel
ing these bikes and all on the east side
dip to the west ard those on the west
dipping to the east, Indicating a juno
ton of all at some unknown depth be-
low with the main central vein. The
central vein at the surface shows a
width of from ten. to twenty feet.
What is needed is capital, machinery
and skill for these two districts to be-
come producers. =
While there are many veins that are
practically free milling, the ores taken
generally are smelling. The copper
ores of Mancayan are somewhat refrac-
tory, but those of Suyoc contain mag
nesian lime in abundance in the ganp-ue
and very little base metals, and if mix
ed with the ores of Mancayan a very
high per cent of extraction could be
had.
There ace about 100 claims located in
these two districts, and nearly all show
ore values and sufficients indications To
encourage developments. The districts
are on the headwaters of the Abra
river, water power can be had in album
dance and timber is plentiful. The on
ly drawback at present is inaccessible
lty- Mancayan is about So miles from
Candon on the coast, and all supplies
and materials have to be brought in
over a pack trail.
The climate is healthful and the sur
rounding country is fertile and the hills
and mountains furnish fine grazing for
stock.

records, exported annually twenty tons
of copper pots, pipes and other utensils
peculiar to their own make. They have
supplied the population of North Luzon
with copper vessels, spears and trinkets
for years. This product has been taken
from the surface groupings of the veins
and lodges in these two districts. Their
tools and methods of reduction were
crude and sustained at all times at a
loss of at least 20 per cent in smelling.
However, these people have developed
skill in the working of metals and in
the extraction of ores on and near the
surface. They are not only copper
miners and copper workers, but they
are yet more skillful in the prospecting
for gold-bearing veins, the extraction
OF ores and saving the gold They
build reservoirs on the high mountains,
and in the rainy season when the water
is plentiful they direct the water in
bitches from the head gates to the gold
bearing veins, and with the pressure
they get wash down to the canyons be-
low millions of tons of stone and earth
and gold bearing quartz. The water is
turned off, the quartz selected out, TAX
en- to their stone mills, crushed and the
concentrates separated by washing in
pan made from the bark of tree. The
concentrates are wrapped in a tobacco
leaf, placed in a piece of earthen pot
surrounded by charcoal, and with fans
and blowers all foreign minerals are
burned off, leaving a gold button in the
bottom. There are no statistics as to
the amount of gold that has been taken
out in and around Suyoc, but from all
traditions it has been considerable.
The Mancayan mine Was worked in
desultory way to some extent by its
owners and their lessees, and produced
altogether HOO tons of copper metal.
They used the Mexican furnace with
charcoal, losing a high percentage of
copper, but their books show an extrac-
ton of 81 per cent per each ton of ore
smelted. This mine is situated on a
strong ledge traceable the entire length
of the two districts. The leige has a
north and south trend and dips about
70 degrees to the east. The quartz was
originally quartz porphyry. Porphyry
of later date than the original porphy-
ry has flowed over and completely cap
ped it. Besides altering the quartz

That is a remarkable condition
of affairs which obtains in Colo
RADIO, according to press reports,
wherein appears the chief magis-
trate of great commonwealth
forgetting his oath of office to
uphold the constitution and laws
of his state, to the extent of
overturning this same constitu-
ton and those same laws by force
of arms. But remarkable as this
Muscovite performance is by
Colorado's gubernatorial despe-
RADIO, the support he appears to
receive from a class of people
throughout the country who have
usually been considered respect
able and law-abiding, is in our
opinion still more worthy of at
tention from the thoughtful and
patriotic citizen, whatever his
political creed.
The beginning of those condi-
tons which has brought such a
load of shame to Colorado was, as
we understand it, a strike inau-
gerated by the Western Fedora
ton of Miners in the hope of
compelling the enforcement of
the eight hour law, a measure
passed by the legislature but
which was evaded by the mine
owners and smeltermen with the
connivance of Peabody's admin
istration. But as is too often the
case in such contests, the miners
forgot what was due other citi-
zens and became in their turn the
lawbreakers, thus giving the 9TH
er faction of lawbreakers, with
whom they were at war, a plaus-
ible excuse for invoking the aid
of the militia, which body of
men have unfortunately in their
turn lost their original destinc-
tive character and degenerated
into a mere band of uniformed
braves, terrorizing peaceful citi-
zens, imprisoning others without

Hence we say:

SANDER not the old and gray,
For they've not long on earth to stay
Butcher them on their weary way
And make their pathway smooth.
Annoy them not with floating bile,
Greet them e'er with pleasant smile,
Cheer them on-'tis but awhile,
And God your actions will approve.
SANDER not the young and gay,
Whom folly might have led astray;
But strive to teach them wisdom's way
1t leads to peace beyond the tomb.
SANDER not the motherless child
And pierce it's heart with terror wild,
That Satan may its soul beguile,
Lest Hell may be your FINAL DOOM.

4 Queer MoIlusk.

Did you ever see 'piddock?" In
England piddocks are considered
very good to eat, and their learned
name is pholus, a genus of marine
lamelli branchiate bivalves. That is
a very big name for a little bit of
thing, something like an oyster, that
lives in a shell.
But the piddock's shell opens at
both ends, and, although it is very
thin, it is roughened in such way
that its tiny owner can burrow IN
wood, rocks or clay, hiding itself
completely, but leaving a long tube,
reaching out to the air, to breathe
through. These tubes have fringed
edges to keep out foreign matter.
One species of piddock gives a phos-
phorescent light like the FREELY.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How to Light a Pair of Candles With
out the Aid of Fire.


Two candles are brought by the
performer to her table. She begs
the pardon of her audience for
bringing them on unlit and says she
will proceed to correct the oversight
at once.
She reaches for a match, when,
pretending to hear a remark that
there's nothing remarkable in light
ing candles in that fashion, she
merely cries, "That's So"
Then she waves her wand and
touches each wick with it; then she
brings the wicks together, when
each candle instantly flames up and
continues to burn, says the Delinea-
tor.
The secret of this trick lies in a
previous preparation of the wicks
of the candles. One is treated with
a preparation of chlorate of potas-
SUM and sugar, and the extreme end
of the other is moistened with sui
phuric acid.
The acid should not be applied to
the latter until a few moments be-
fore the candles are brought from
behind the screen or from whatever
other place the performer goes into
retirement after each trick.
