The hope has been that the trade lost

Views and Interviews.

T. f. Orion: While in Chicago
last week I took the time to go and
look over the Iroquois ruins. A
policeman was stationed in the
front of the charred building and l
fell into his good graces by chance.
He allowed me to enter and view
the situation. Afterward he took
me across the street toga large room
where all the unidentified property
Of the people who lost their lives in
the awful catastrophe is stored.
How I wished after getting in there
that | had never entered! The
sight would turn the heart of a man
of stone. Those little overshoes,
little muffs and hoods and many
other articles worn by children
whose lives were smothered out
brings tears from a marble heart.
Then there's an indescribable
amount of apparel, jewelry, UNI
brellas, etc., belonging to the older
unfortunates. One of Thompson's
restaurants near the theater was
turned into an impromptu morgue
after the disaster for a day or SO
until the bodies could be identified
and taken elsewhere. The dining
tables were used to lay the bodies
on, and now no one will eat in that
restaurant any people have
simply cut the place out and won't
even enter the door. Pretty tough,
isn't it when man was so generous
and kind hearted as to throw his
doors open for such a needed cause.
S. E. Smalley: There are two
announced candidates for the Cuba
City postofice although I have
heard there were others. One is
Jos. Longbotham, cashier of the
Farmers bank and his opponent is
Asst. Postmaster Ellwood who was
with my father during the latter's
long administration in the office and
who has since his death been in
charge of it. Both have circulated
petitions. | have no idea as to the
outcome. | am a LaFollette man
and have always been, but I am also
warm admirer of Congressman
Babcock and will support him in the
coming campaign. Personally, l
have never been informed of the
governors opposition to Mr.. Bah
cock, although believe that he is.

st. Anthony's Christmas Tree.

The hearts IF the inmates of St. An
thongs hospital were made glad when
Santa Claus, laden with gifts visited
each room in the building and gave
every individual a present.
Those who were well enough to leave
their rooms received their gifts in the
evening, when the large Christmas tree,
artistically decorated by the sisters,
was lighted UP.
Extensive preparations were made for
the event, sisters, nurses, doctors and
the entire hospital staff contributing to
make the event memorable one,
A large room was set aside in the
basement WHARF, a Christmas tree was
put up and a gift for each tied to the
tree.
over 200 persons gathered around the
tree and an enjoyable evening was
spent
Considerable merriment was caused
by the manner in which "Old Santa"
distributed mis- presents. Two hundred
tickets were put in a hat, each ticket
being numbered to correspond with an
article on the tree. No one knew what
he or she would receive, and when one
of the dignified doctors received a china
doll it gave cause for much merriment.
The children in the neighbOrhood of
the Sisters hospital were also invited
and received 4 gift from Kris Kringle.
The fun started at o'clock and con-
tinued until egeTp present was disposed

E R Purn ell, the well known Helena
mining expert, mas just returned from
| a business trip through Nevada, Cali
fornia ana Utah, and he brings back
glowing reports about the new mining
camps in Nevada. ut is my firm con-
viction, said Mr.. Purnell last night,
that within 30 days, the most tremen-
dous boom that has been seen at any
mining camp III years will be expert
enced at Goldfield, New. This camp is
Is miles from Tonopah, and PA miles
from Reno. fonopah and Goldfield are
connected by a narrow guage railroad
but it is completely blocked with the
immense freight shipments going in.
and most of The ore is now being hauled
to TonOpah by mule teams.
"Goldfeld IS now less than a year old,
and already he ore sold has brought
in more than $4,000 COO and | was in
formed that rom SO 900, coo to $5,000.0OO
worth of high grade gold ore is lying
there sacked, and ready for shipment.
There are not mule teams enough to
haul to Tonopah, and the railroad is
unable to handle it at present. The
company is handling only horse feed
and provisions.
"Goldfeld's cecord in less than year
is beyond that of Leadville, when the
Colorado camp was two years old The
very large and the ore is high grade.
TIE Jumbo IS only down 355 feet, and
the values are about the same all the
way down. The ore now being shipped
or prepared FOR shipment, runs from
$1c0 to $1,000 a ton, and there is plenty
of it, / took two samples at random
from sacks on the cars that had been
broken One assayed $104 and the other
1854. The camp now has population
of 5000, with accommodations for 1900.
"In addition to the meagre accommo-
dations, the sanitary conditions are
bad. as is the water. These are draw
backs. but are features often found in
new and booming camps. l firmly be-
leve the camp will have a population
of 10000 within a year. About 10 miles
from Goldfield is the new camp of Bull
frog, and it 100, has a bright future.
AS to Tonopah, it is becoming a settled
camp, and is prosperous. It's mines
are rich, but it is not to be compared
with Goldfield in that respect, or for OPP

Utmost toward helping transport to

Gus Colorado farmers have promised.
About two weeks ago the Denver
Times conceived the idea of securing
from the husbandman of northern Colo
RADIO. who have experienced a partic-
ularly prosperous season, a sufficient
quantity of potatoes to avert immed-
tate starvation. A special commission
er was sent to the farming district and
he secured the pledge of the farmers
that if money enough to transport the
potatoes to ireland could be raised.
they would donate 200 carloads. Ac-
cordingly the Times set about secur-
ing by popular sui scription the re-
quired fund. If the potatoes can be
transported to Galveston the govern
ment has promised to carry them to
Ireland for the relief Of the famine
stricken people. Already about $1,000
has been subscrii ar this purpose
