NEWS FROM THE. MINES and MILLS|
Increased Cripple Creek Output.

The output of the Cripple Creek dis
trict for the month of May was 52.25O
tons, with gross bullion value of 81.
63S,550, marked increase over the
preceding month, both in tonnage and
value of ores shipped and treated at
both smelter and mill. The average
value of the ore shipped from the dis
trict was $33.24 ton. Four local mills
handling low grade ores by the cyanide
process were again active in the last
half of the month. The small plants
treated 5000 tons of ore at profit. The
lowest average value of this class of
ore reduced to the Ironclad companys
leased mill was So ton. The Eco
nomic mill, the only large capacity
plant in the district, cleaned up its
bedded down ores in the early part Of
the month, amounting to approx
mately 1000 tons, is now undergoing a
thorough cleanup. Repairs to furnaces,
roasters and machinery are being
made and the mill is being renovated
throughout. The value of the ore
treated at this plant is estimated at
about $4,000, and does not figure in
the following table.
The figures as furnished by the ac-
credited agent of the smelters and U.
S. R. & R. Company, together with
those from the Portland and local
plants are as follows:

skyscrapers and EARTHQUAKES.

Chicago's newer skyscrapers, with
their foundations far beneath the sur
face, on the bed rock, would, accord
ing to the Seismological society of
Japan, stand much better chance in
an earthquake than would many of
the older type of buildings. 1t has
been demonstrated that the complete
isolation of the foundations of
building from the surface of the soil
obtains for the building comparative
immunity from damage. The reason
is that the surface shakes more than
the adjacent lower layers of the soil,
just as, if several billiard balls be
placed in a row, an impulse given to
the first one will make only the last
one fly off, shile those in the middle
remain nearly motionless. For the
same reason it is dangerous to build
near the edge OF cliff.

Lesson in Disaster.

We seize this opportunity to point
out, chiefly as warning for the benefit
of the general public, since most en-
gineers know it full we'll, the utter
helplessness and hopelessness of the
modern city when its public water
supply is cut off. If fire breaks out
the city is at the mercy of the winds,
and if 1t once gains headway the fire
may be said to spread on the wings of
its own wind. Dreadful as the fire risk
is when the water supply fails, that
calamity scarcely compares with the
other attendant dangers, the greatest
of all of which may be brain-crazing
thirst. The conditions are rare, how
ever, at least in nearly all American
cities, where enough water cannot
soon be secured to quench thirst; but
lit should be remembered, urges En-
,gineering News, that dangerous thirst
is matter of scarcely more THAI
hours, and that under the heat and
tense excitement of fire natural thirst
is speedily aggravated. In the lcng
run water enough to Quench thirst is
bound to be secured, or else the place
abandoned or depopulated by death.
This, however, will not avert whole
series of calamities; first, the certainty
that where drinking water is scarce
and disorder prevalent many people
will drink polluted water; and, second,
that lack of water for household nur-
poses, including use in water closets,
will give rise to the accumulations OF
both ordinary filth and decomposing
fecal matter. Under such conditions,
obviously, water closets should not be
used, but it is not easy to prevent this.
and even with extraordinary public
sanitary control it would be difficult to
prevent other and almost as dangerous
nuisances; namely, accumulations of
fecal matter out of doors, which, in
the summer time, or during the whole
year in warm climates, will afford an
opportunity for the spread of typhoid
fever by means of flies, exactly as
happened, though quite needlessly, at
our military camps during the Span
ish-American war.

Newhouse Tunnel Progress.

All previous records for tunnel driv-
ing in the Newhouse tunnel at Idaho
Springs were broken in the month of
May by the crews of men under Con-
tractor s. A. Knowles, the heading OF
the big bore being advanced a distance
of 290 feet in thirty-one working days.
This progress was made possible by
the bonus system, under which the
contractor receives premium for
every foot driven in excess of 2GO feet
each month, and which is distributed
pro rata with the machine men, help
ers, powder men and muckers, in addi-
tion to their regular. compensation.
The rock through which the tunnel
heading has been driven during the
past month has been of an exceptional
character. No hard bars were encoun-
tered, but instead there were dykes of
porphyry, granite and schist and a
number of feeders and assures. The av-
erage daily footage during the month
of May was 9.3 feet, the tunnel being
driven five feet by eight feet, or single
track size. The best previous record
for daily average footage was made in
the month of February, 1902, when the
tunnel heading, eight feet by nine feet,
or double tracks size, was driven 267
feet, or an average of 80 feet daily.
The best previous record for monthly
footage made in the Newhouse tunnel
was in March, 1902, when the face OF
the tunnel was driven forward 277.d
feet, the double track szze. The record
for the past month eclipses this by 12.4
feet for the single tracks size. -

FORMING THE BABY'S CHARACTER.
One would hardly expect to find marked

infant is not more than twenty-four hours

short time succumb completely to good
influence, becoming sunny-tempered ODE

Infants are helpless, consequently they
require our care, and it is matter of
duty that this should be our intelligent
best. Do not depend on guessing in this
important matter; it is not safe. Chill

effect upon the young as it does upon an
older person. 1t seems rather ridiculous.
does it not, to think of a child, and very
young one at that, becoming blase-tired
of the good things offered? But it is
true. We do not have to look very far
to see children, even infants, turn away
their heads with shrek of disapproba-
ton when we'll meant, but constant
demonstrations Of affection are thrust
upon them. This open rebeIIion goes to
show how distasteful it is to the child.

Once, on returning from a short sail,

The child drew herself up haughtily,
and said:-
'T'm not a lady, I'm a princess!"

the kindly injunction and the rather ILL
