What zansty0 Means.

Zemstvo, has appeared in the papers
considerable recently in connection with
the political agitation in Russia.
The name is Russian elective pro-
vncial assembly, composed of landed
proprietors and peasants who impose
local taxes, regulate matters of educa-
ton, public health, roads and the ike,
and form 4 sort of local board cores
ponding to the municipal board Of as
sembly called Duma, practically have
little Independent authority. There is
one in each district and another for the
province.
Really the Zemstvo is board of su-
pervisors, q board Of aldermen, but its
powers are very limited and the trouble
in Russia at present is largely due to
the effort which is being made by the
radical faction, to give the Zemstvo the
power of silf-government.

Tine.

The Taylor-Moor Construction COM
pany have started work in earnest on
the Gunnison tunnel. Every able
bodied working man is being employed
and teams are rapidly Quitting for the
purpose of hauling supplies down into
the canon. Work on the great canal is
progressing nicely.
Orman 4 Crook, who begun work
some two months ago, have several
miles Of their contract completed.
This canal is larger than the Erie
canal, being 20 feet wide on the bot
tom and 10 feet on top from bank to
bank.
The contracts call for the completion
of their gigantic irrigation enterprise
by April LIST 1903. During this time
millions of dollars will be expended for
labor by the government This will be
by far the largest irrigating enter
prise ever begun in this state and will
certainly make 4 new era in irrigation
matters throughout the west.

Printing Contract Not Let.

Owing to mistake being made in the
notice calling for bids for the legal
printing of Delta county the commits
sioners could not let the contract at
this time. In writing the notice the
county clerk failed to mention any
items except stationery, the legal work
being omitted altogether. This was
not noticed until the last day Of the
session and as It could not be determined
just what action to take at once the
printing was let to the INDEPENDENT

G. H. Whitelaw of this city returned
from the Nevada gold fields Wedhes-

and believes that the camp is one Of
the best ever discovered. While on the
trip Mr.. Whitelaw Investigated almost
all the camps in the mineral belt anG
says that Goldfield is the best developed
camp and produced during 1904 fully
$500, 600, although there is a number
of new camps that are making equally
as good showing.
The mineral belt extends from =
point above Reno southeast to the
Colorado river. Goldfed, Ray, Tooa-

frog camps are the most prominent IN
the main mineral belts. There Is quite
a number of good producing mines
throughout the entire belt shipping
high-grade ore and keeping the cheap
stuff on the dump.
One strange thing about the entine
district is that there is no surface values
and yet great values are discovered IN
comparatively little depth. Some Of
the mines are now down about 1S0 fest,
and although the formation changed
from lode porphyry at about 13o fese.

Pathetic indeed is the trouble that
has come to the family of J. NJ. Daley,
a colored resident of this city, who
lives at 1929 Thirteenth avenue. To
have two sons claimed by death in a
few days, under the most trying cir
cumstances, is the tale. Last week the
l0-year-old son, Calvin. died of cere-
bro-spinal meningitis. The mother ac-
companied the remains to Louisiana,
there TO inter them. She has not yet
returned. Yesterday morning another
son, young man, died of tuberculosis.

For Her Sake.

Ii can probably be said with safety
that the American people as a whole
are little acquainted with the litera-
ture of Russia. The .theatregoing pub
lie find it faithfully reflected, however,
in modern stage productions. One of
the best of the Russian plays. accord
ing to all accounts, is For Her Sake -
tale of love and intrigue and suffering
in the Siberian convict mines. 1t is a
pretentious stage production. and it will
be offered here next Sunday evening
The company is large one. and the
play is equipped scenically, it is said.
with great fidelity to the requirements
of facts and with small regard for ex-
pense. 1t is credited with leavening
of original comedy.
