The government project to construct
the Gunnison tunnel and canals, in
volving an outlay of 100000, has hit
another snag. But the government Of
ficials who have charge of the matter
believe that 1t will not prove lasting
obstacle. In the prelimina,ies leading
to the letting of the big contracts, the
opposition in the district has succeeded.
Certain requirements of the secretary
of the Interior were defeated for the
time being at meeting of the share
holders last Wednesday, as a two-thirds
vote was necessary to adopt. The mi-
nority OF the landholders in the
irrigation district seek to over
throw the federal government
plan and return to the state
law. Around Grand Junction feeling
Is being created or manufactured that
the construction of the canal and feed
ers could be done better and cheaper
through local control. The state law
gives permission to community to
form an improvement district and dis
pose OF bonds to raise money to meet
the work. This plan Is being advocated.
1t II claimed that the local persons who
want to dispose Of the bonds are at the
head OF the project to depose the fed
Gral government officials.

Question.
London Mail: In the opinion Of a
great London tailor there is growing
at the sameness and somberness Of
their attire.
The first step in a revolution of
mems dress has already been taken,"
said this authority the other day. "In-
nocent though it may seem, the latest
dress waistcoat, with it's old-fashioned
aspect, has given a great many men a
desire to render their appearance a lit
tie more artistic.
The change is coming in the direc-
ton which offers the least line of re-
sistance-in evening Dress for 1t re-
quires less courage to face the remark
of ones friends at dinner than to brave
the criticism of the streets.
I'VE are getting a demand for knee
breeches, and one man has just or
dered a dress coat with crimson silk
lining and collar. 1t looks very smart.
"Colored coats for evening wear have
been tried by some courageous persons,
but they soon CAV them up. Probably
they thought that 1t vas better to look
like a butler than a. footman.
THE king deserves praise for the ef-
forts he has made to render mems dress
more becoming. His majesty's idea of
a single-breasted frock coat for sum
mer wear was productive of a garment
at once picturesque and comfortable.
Upon every possible occasion his mai
esty discards, n causes the gentlemen
of his court to discard, ordinary ave-
ming dress for more attractive uni
forms.

however, refused to listen to this novel
theory. All smokers, of course, know
that unsightly stains caused by cigarets
are not due SO much 10 excessive smoking
to the manner in which the cigaret is
held in he fingers. If the c.garet when
not between the lips is held with the
lighted end downward, three or four Gig

marks on the fingers of the smokev. The
man, however, who always holds Ills Gig
aret with the lighted end upward many
smoke as many as twenty a day without

most chess players who happen to be
cigaret smokers invariably hold their Gig
arets with the lighted end UP and con-
sequently seem to smoke far more thar

this week on the magnificent steam yacht
Velleda, which has been fitted out with
the most costly luxury imaginable for .
long cruise in the Mediterranean.
Monte Carlo is more crowded han ever
in its history. and the Casino is not able
to hold all who are anxious to risk their
money at faro or roulette.
The bank has, BY the way, had unusua1-
ly bad luck this season, hardly any even-
Ing having passed without some gambler
breaking 1t.
More conspicuous than every one els.-
has ben a quiet, innocent-looking English
boy, evidently not over sixteen years Of
age, whose luck has been phenomenal.
1t is not known how he gained admiD-
sion to the gambling rooms. which are orr
dtnarily closed to minors but the very
first night he won $4,000, and several.
nights later almost double that amount.
There are rumors OF a great scandaSs
which will probably implicate a lady said.
to be very close to the Austrian court.
Mrs. Kettlewell, said to be the wife OF
an American millionaire, who regularly
visits Monte Carlo every winter, during
the season of 1901 lost an exceedingly
valuable pearl necklace at a very exclu-
sive ball.
The thief was never discovered, and the.
police gave up the case long ago, but MrA.
Kettlewell employed Pinkerton detectives.
and now clairns that she knows who has
her necklace.
; The person whom she accuses is Of very
high rank and occupies one OF the most
beautiful villas on the Riviera. She has
been given a weeks time to return the
pearls; otherwise she will be promptly.
arrested.
Duke Wants a Divorce.
1T has long been rumored here that the,
Duke of Oclears was anxious to get u
divorce from hi; wife, Archduchess Marie.
Dorothee.
The official reason given Is hat their
marriage has been without any issue, but,
the real reason is said to be thai the duke.
who is very tickle. is very much In love
with a young lady of the highest Aus.
trian aristocracy.
1t is known that he in vain applied to
Pope Plus X. for an annulment Of his.
marriage, claiming that he had been forced,
to marry against his will.
Already, last summer, he issued a proc
donation from Brussels to the royalistsl
in France that he considered it his duty
to get a divorce, that he might be able
to marry in the hope Of providing an,
heir to the throne OF France, but at that
time Emperor Francis Joseph, who has
never liked the duke, succeeded, through.
the influence of his brother, and the faith
er Of the duchess, Archduke Joseph, in
making the duke give up his plans.
Personally, he absolutely denies that he
has any intentions Of remarrying, but no
one here has much faith In his words. II
he does not remarry, the only reason will
be that he cannot get a divorce and that
he lacks the courage to marry morganatt-
cally.

Mines of the Future.

Mines Of the Future.
And there really are such mines
perhaps six or eight at present known
over the whole wide area of the world.
There are three of these about which I
know, and their undoubted great possi-
bilities have fired my Imagination.
These are the Dos Estrellas in Mexico,
the santo Domingo. belonging to the
company in Peru, and the Red
jang Lebong In Sumatra. The elements
OF greatness belong, too, although on a
more modest basis. to the Tasmania
mine, in the island of that name, and
to the Oriental mine in Korea. These
names are hardly known to the vulgar
throng, and the mines do not yet rank
with the great producers; but the Dos
Eslrallas is valued by its Mexican own
ers at millions of pounds. The Santo
Domingo was last year producing 5000
ounces a month with five stamps; the
Redjang Lebong has an ore chute 1000
feet long, 10 feet thick, worth Sc a ton;
tho Tasmania, now wrestling with an
immense flow of water, has at 1900
feet a lode of almost similar value and
size, and the Oriental has 200 stamps
at work in the Korean forests, and ever
a million tons of ore blocked out.

the blood still remaining in the interior OF
the body rushes to the surface and tears

The Founding.

The story grows more inc more as
founding. Near the winter palace
dwelt the reigning favorite Of Nicholas,
the beautiful Mile. Nelidoff, mother of
several of his sons and daughters. His
last visits to her were miserable cpl
sodes. for his conversation, darkly
limiting at his coming end, filled her
with dismay. To enrich his mistress,
for whom he sighted his graceful and
devoted empress. the czar compelled
his minister Of finance to take surrep-
titfously from the funds raised for the
ST. observation-disclosures railway some
hundreds of thousands Of roubles. Then
unable to find solace any longer in
Nelidoff's society, and %despairing Of
the results of his own statecraft, he
endeavored, by entreaties and threats,
to constrain his chief physician to sup
ply him with %strychnine; but that
faithful servant had the courage stout
ly to refuse.
Escaping from Siberia, Savelieff, the

DID YOU

see the "copsn on parade the other day? If you didn't you missed it. They cer- tainly looked fine, but they couldn't help it, for we understand every blessed one of them tipped the barber quarter of a dollar to fix him up, gave the bootblack dime, hung the tailor LID for cleaning uniforms, par took of pe-ru-na for seventy-two hours, had five hours off for sleep before the start. Of course we only heard all this. But we doubt a certain druggist who is located not ten miles from our store who claims he sold on that day just one dozen boxes of sweet six teen' for the complexion. Let us say right here that anyone who wishes good complexion doesn't have to go to druggist just drink good clean, new season Tea and fresh roasted Coffee ffor instance, the kind we sell), and above all. have nice tasting Butter served at your meals. Our Butter is only 24c per pound and you can't beat it in the city at any price. It's simply the o. K. quality.
