intelligence. He would futter in the air and

his predecessor, Miss Nichols said: 81 had some
hemp seeds. that seldom fed the bird. because
they made him so fat. I occasionally gave him

to my bed and lay them my breast to crack

GUANAJUATo FLOOD.
Five Hundred Swept to Death in Mexi
can City.

Guanajuato, Mexico, July Alive
hundred persons have perished and
property valued at $1.500,000 has been
destroyed as a result of flood which
has swept over the town, following a
cloudburst. Two hundred bodies have
been recovered.
The present storm, which began Fri
day night and continued through Sat
urday, was unprecedented in violence.
BY o'clock Saturday afternoon
clouds banked up black and threaten
ing in the northeast, and within less
than twenty minutes rain came down
in torrents and the water surged down
the streets with great violence. Part
of the river, which was built over
with masonry. burst through, aug
menting the flood, and the scene be-
came one of terror and CONSERVATION.
The people made haste to gather
their valuables and fee and many did
so at the risk of their lives, for the
streets in the lower part of the city
were filled with rushing waters and
the roar of wind and rain added to
the general panic.
With one rush the mighty food
burst it's bonds, foundations of solidly
built masonry and houses being under
mined and many buildings fell with
crash. Their inmates in many cases
were crushed beneath the falling ma
sonry.
From the center of the city the flood
rolled to both sides of the town and
the people rushed out to fee to the
mountains.
Each man fought his way out OF
the food. trampling down who ever
came in his way. and thus many
women and children perished. A large
number of people had sought refuge
in the church of San Diego. but were
crushed to death under its falling
walls.
A priest who was addressing words
OF hope and consolation to the people
was killed.

C0RNF0RTH IS DEPOSED
PARKS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Colorado Supreme Court Declares In
Favor Of President Pro Tenn.
Fred W., Parks,

Denver, July 5.-Senator Fred w.
Parks Of Denver county is declared by
the Supreme Court to be the lawful
acting lieutenant governor of the state
Of Colorado. Justice Gunter wrote the
opinion, the entire court concurring.
After reciting the facts that Senator
Cornforth was president pro TEN. of
the Senate, assumed the office of lieu
tenant governor when Mr.. Mcdonald
became governor; that his term of Of
nee expires in December, 1906; that
Senator Parks was elected president
pro tenn on April Sd, the court says:
"The only controversy is that re-
spondent as president pro tenn. at the
time the powers and duties of governor
through the resignation of Governor
Peabody, devolved upon Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald, was entitled to
perform the duties of lieutenant gov
ernor, the question is whether such
right ended with the election of re-
lator as president pro tenn"
Mr.. Parks contended that whenever
the term of office as president Of the
Senate expires, the duties pass to his
that the holder Of the office of presi-
dent pro tenn. at the time the lieutenant
governor becomes governor is legally
invested with the office of lieutenant
governor. The court holds that the
questions are settled by the following
constitutional clauses, Article w., Sec
tion Is; Article w., Section IA, and
Article w., Section 10.
Opinions in other states bearing on
the case are cited at length. The opin-
ion brushed aside as unimportant the
fact that Senator Cornforth has been
recognized by certain officers as the
acting lieutenant governor, because
such recognition can have no bearing
on the constitutional question in
volved. Passing upon the contention
that certain acts of Senator Cornforth,
such as signing bills, should be taken
into account, the court held in the fol-
lowing language: mo act of the re-
lator could compel us to declare re-
spondent lieutenant governor de jure
when under the constitution he is not
so'
A judgment was entered enjoining
Senator Cornforth from performing the
duties of the Office and declaring Sen
ator Parks entitled as president pro
tenn. of the Senate to perform such
duties.
| Under the opinion, there is no such
Office as lieutenant governor de jure,
but Fred w. Parks as president pro
tenn. of the Senate will perform the
duties of the office. Assistant Attor-
ney General Ramsey, acting for Sena-
tor Cornforth, asked leave to file pc
tition for rehearing. The petition
was granted, but the court stated that
owing to the Importance of the case it
would cut short the time. The petit
toner was given until Thursday to
make the filing, and Senator Parks
must reply the next day. The court
will rule on the motion next Monday.

The Sutro Tunnel.

That the completion Of the Sutro tun-
mel at Virginia City. Nevada. has
opened up a new basis for conducting
many operations profitably and eco
nomically is recognized. The great
value of the tunnel consists in the IA
cilities it affords for the extraction and
reduction of the bodies of ordinary
and low-grade ores which exist upon
the lode and which are almost bound
less in extent. The mouth of the Sutro
tunnel, OF starting point, was judi
ciously selected in the low hills border
ing the Carson river valley, and its
course Is westward. intersecting the
heart of the Comstock lode near by at
right angles and about midway OF its
developed working depths, 1850 feet
vertically below the general surface OF
the principal mining shafts, the objec-
tive point being the main shaft Of the
savage mine, nearly four miles from
the entrance to the tunnel. Lateral
drifts north and south along the east
side of the lode were subsequently
made, north 4,400 feet through the
Gould and Curry, Consolidated Califor-
mia and Virginia, and other intervening
mines, extending into the Mexican
mine. The south lateral branch con-
meets with the mines of the Gold Hill
section. running S.400 feet to the main
shaft of the Overman and Caledonia
companies, intersecting 1t 1000 feet
below the surface, from which point
southwesterly lateral Of 2,fG5 feet con-
meets with the Alta mine shaft.
The main tunnel is eight feet high
and ten feet wide in the clear properly
timbered where required, as likewise
the laterals, supplied with a substan-
tial car track throughout, with all nee
essary switches, and capacious dou-
ble-box sub-drain beneath the floor OF
the tunnel to carry off all the water
possible for the Comstock drainage to
supply.
The Ward Shaft Association, which
comprises several of the middle groups
OF the Comstock mines. is now driving
the west drift from their 1,G00-foot
level to connect with the south lateral
branch of the Comstock tunnel. This Is
preliminary to the inauguration Of act
i've work through the south lateral tun-
mel OF the Comstock Tunnel Company OF
the whole middle group of Mines

Canon City SanitarIum.

Michigan, institution is practically as.
sured for Canon City The Atlas COM
pany in drilling for oil at point two
and half miles east of the city some
time ago struck a large flow of hot wa
ter containing iron, sulphur and soda,
making it very valuable for bathing
purposes and invalids. DR.. Pitt
A. Wade of this city, who
has been making a study of
the sanitarium question for some
years, has secured the well and twenty
acres of ground adjacent thereto. on
which he proposes to erect a 100000
sanitarium.
The citizens OF Canon City. to en-
courage the enterprise, will subscribe
for 100000. The remainder of the
capital the doctor and his friends will
furnish. Like the Battle Creek and

are conducted under the patronage OF

Under date Of June 30th the George
town correspondent of the Denver Re-
publican says: The great Colorado
Central mine, with record OF having
produced more than $10.000,000, has
been bonded and leased to F. A. Max
well OF this city. The bond calls for
$500, 900 and has three years to run.
Mr.. Maxwell Is one of the best known
mining engineers In upper Clear Creek
district, having resided here for more
than twenty-five years. Three weeks
ago he sold the West Griffith property
for $4,000. He believes the Colorado
Central to be the making of the great
est proposition In Colorado.
The new operator takes possession
tomorrow and It is understood that he
will ut once inaugurate one Of the big
gest campaigns Of development ever
attempted In Clear Creek county. A
number Of leases will be granted and
It is estimated that from 300 to 400
men will be working on the property

Province Of the Prospeetor.

Prospecting is one of the most fas-
cinating occupations ever followed by
man. The prospector is by all odds
the most independent of men. Like
the prospector. the hunter, the ex-
plorer. he has been able to throw of
many of the shackles of civilization.
While civilized life is after all the
most desirable form of existence, it
imposes on the most OF us abject
slavery. Some people would starve
TO death II they were removed from
the vicinity of hotel or restaurant.
They have become so used to the ex-
changing OF ready money for the con-
venience OF existence that the rough
and ready life of the prospector would
involve actual suffering to most people.
The prospector is the connecting
link between the secrets of nature and
the developing touch of capital To
the average human being the life OF
the man who spends his days in the
lonely hills enjoying but few of tho
comforts of existence. is almost tragic.
Yet he would resent any such a senti-
ment as pity. He is buoyed up by an
unfaltering hope. 1t may be that the
weary search will go on for yearS
without result, i1but the genuine pros
pector is. not one who despairs.
1t is one of the peculiar features of
this prospecting for the precious
metals that the work Is left largely to
chance. aided by the native shrewd-
ness and intelligence of the prospector
himself. Science has shed her beams
on the agricultural industry.
Mining. once the ore is found. is
usually carried on in a scientific

sorts of metals in the breast of Mother
Earth is guided largely by chance
and luck. 1t is quite true that once
the mineral formations of certain
region are known that sound geologic
knowledge comes into play in the
opening up of new mines, but no one
will pretend to say that it was any
thing but blind luck that led to the
discovery of any of the great mining
camps of tht state. Leadville included.
A national bureau of prospecting has
been suggested. The idea is that this
bureau would send out its experts to
search for hidden treasures of gold
and silver and other valuable minerals.
Most people would not take kindly
to the government entering the pros
pect field. Such a bureau would only
open new foundationt of graft and
swindling. because if the bureau dis
covered a mine it would be quite GER
tain to appropriate 1t.
At present the world will have to
rely on the plain, everyday. ordinary
prospector for its new mines. The
field is broad. The scientist, the geo.
ogist. the expert have many oppor-
tunities of making winning by as
suming the humble role Of the pros
pector. Not many are likely to enter
the ranks. 1t is life OF hardship and
toll and the rewards are not always
certain. The average prospector, how
ever. is usually a man of keen intel
ligence. He knows the ordinary
symptoms of ore and he is always look
ing for something new. II he finds
piece of rock that is unknown to him
he is prompt to bring it to the nearest
assay office and II the discovery is
valuable the rest is easy.-Leadville
