MAY BOLT.

Democratic harmony is foot thick
and increasing each day in La Plata
county. 1t is on par with that OF
Denver and other centers where Or
manism, Thomasism and Moyerism
has prevailed. One wing wants to
take the Western Federation of Miners
and the other wing is opposed to
adopt the milestone In this con-
nection it is said the Liberty League
will take part in the Democratic pri-
maries. In fact it has been no secret
for some time that the League was
organized largely for the purpose of
running primaries in many parts of
the state. One Democrat informed us
yesterday that Bob Carter will be
backed for representative on the Dem
ocratic ticket. AT any rate there is
something in the air. In yesterdays
Wage Garner, Editor Galbreath gives
1t out that he will not stand for any
monkey work but he fails to state on
which side of the house he stands.
Here is what Mr.. Galbreath has to say
In what has been regarded as the only
Simon-pure Democratic paper in the
county:
"If the Wage Garner ever had one
paramount characteristic. it was that
of standing loyal to the wishes of its
party in convention expressed. 1t has
done this time and time again when
its publisher believed that its party
convention had made a mistake In
men 1t had put forward. AS at present
advised there seems to be an apathy
among the element in the Democratic
party that should control and a dispo-
sition upon the part of a different ele-
ment to assume control and to commit
the party to men and measures that
are as far from Democratic as the
east is from the west. The Wage
Garner hopes that the real Democrats
will arouse themselves and take con
troll of affairs but if it shall be dis
appointed in this hope it sees no other
course before it but to throw politics
to the winds and support the man and
not the party"

Mr.. Blair Burwell,
Durango, Colorado.
Dear Sir:-l have been out of the

office today and so have Just gotten
your letter of the 18th | have not
been long enough at any one place to
make 1T safe to send much mail to me
In regard to the road up the creek,
| am glad to have your opinion of the
route. That route seems to be the
natural one as far as grade is concern.
ed and my predictions have been en-
tirely toward 1t. provided, road up
that route could be built
Mr.. Abbott in his trip could not go
up the creek because of the flood that
was then coming down, but the reports
that he got were not very favorable
as to building one which could be
built within our appropriation. Mr.
Wells was also instructed to inves-
tigate the situation and his report con
firmed the idea and | have taken pains
to inquire Of various people at differ
ent times. Your own letter of last
year. II | remember, thought that It
was worth investigation but that it
might be expensive. AS | recall the
reports that we have had, they were
that great many bridges had been
constructed over the creek on the
former road and would have to be on
the new road. or else the road-bed
would have to build in such manner
as to require much blasting for exca-
walton so as 10 be kept out of the
reach of floods. II this were not done
the road would soon be washed out
From the location. the road up the
creek would be by all means the best
outlet for the upper part of the coun-
try.
| have not liked the present loca-
ton of the road because of the fact
that some OF the prospects would have
to make some of the haul up here. We
have had comparatively little interest
shown in the road and have found II
very difficult TO get anyone to talR
very favorable in regard to the road
The County Commissioners have ap-
parently not wanted to help at all
and at best very little aid was to be
expected, hence we were reduced to
the necessity of selecting the best route
that we could and keep the expenses
down. After the survey made by Mr..
Wells, we had number of reports
from over there and all seemed to be
satisfied then.
Sincerely yours,

SUED
: % :. FOR CONTEMPT
Keystone Company Alleges
DiSregardOf Temporary
Restraining Order.

Contempt proceedings were TO DO
instituted nt Canyon City today by
the Keystone Mining company,
against the Equity Copper and Gold
Mining company. Of QartZbuurg, for
alleged disregard Of tho temporary
restraining order granted last week
by Judge Clifford, forbidding trespass
on the property claimed by the Key
stone company. pending a hearing
for permanent Injunction at the next
term of Circuit court In Grant
county. The necessary papers were
prepared here by the company's at
torney, n. .. Richards, and trans
mitted to its legal representatives at
Canyon City.
Thi. new feature Of the case grows
out Of the allegation that the Equity
company paid no attention to the
order Of the court In the matter Of
temporary injunction, but went
ahead taking ore from ground claimed
by the Keystone company aud in
volved In the litigation recently In
auRurated.
In the first place, the Keystone
people allcge that the Equity com
pany has an overlapping location.
designated as the Oregon claim. on
Keystone ground. from which large
amount Of valuable ore has been ex-
tracted. The Keystone company,
therefore. instituted an action to per-
manently restrain the Equity com
pany from removing ore from the
Keystone claim and asking $40, 900
for damages alleged to have been
done the property already.
AZ stated, u temporary restraining |
order was granted by Judge Clifford,
pending the hearing for u permanent !
injunction. Now, II IL charged by
the Keystone people, aud they state
that ample evidence can be brought
forward In support OF the charge,
that the Equity company has totally
disregarded the command Of the
court, and continued to remove ore
from the Keystone. Hence. the in
stitution Of contempt proceedings.
In it's answer to the FIRST complaint
the Equity company makes Frank
Watson, Of Portland, from whom the
Geiser- iiendryx company acquired
the Keystone claim. aud who organ
lied the old Keystone Mining aud
Milling company and the present
Keystone company. OF which q. NJ.
Anderson, Of inwood, Iowa, il presi.
dent, parties to the suit. An at.
tempt IL made To set up state of
facts showing that the assessment
work on the keystone claim was al.
lowed to lapse and that the ground
was subject to relocation. On the
other hand, the Keystone company
claims that there IL abundant evi-
dence to prove that the assessment
work has been performed according
To law.

The Jamaica negroes, some of whom
are great dandles in their way, make
a soap out Of eocoanut oil and home
made lye, and a fine soap It is,
smooth and fragrant This cocoanut
oil soap Is used for shaving, says
Health When man wishes to shave
in the morning he starts out with his
eoeoanut. shell cup and his donkey
tail brush and a bottle II is never
any trouble to ihnd an empty bottle in
Jamaica, even IA the mountains. At
least twenty generations of thirsty
people have lived there and thrown
away the bottles. The man carries
no mirror, because he has none to
carry. Not one negro cabin in doz-
en- has even a cheap i5oking.glass.
But Nature provides the mirror as well
as the soap. The man goes to a con-
veaient pool in the mountain stream,
where the water Is still, aud there is
his mirror He breaks his bottle on
stone and picks out a good sharp
piece. Then he lathers his face pro-
fusely and begins to scrape away with
bis piece Of glass, which works almost
as well as a sharp razor
