In mining sense, the country has
been only scratched over, hut expert
mining men, and especially old Colo
RADIO miners, have no hesitancy In
saying that the rock and mineral
formations Of this entire section are
similar TO that at Leadville and Drip
pie Creek, and also say that In time
we will have mining region that
has as great reputation in this
mining world as those rich camps.
AS We have said the mineral In this
country Is found either In immense
dykes or else In well defined lodges,
which get better as development pro-
ceeds. For that reason the mineral
In the hills Is inexhaustible, and we
may look for greater prosperity as
the years go by and development
work increases. No man at the
present time can form an adequate
Idea as to the probable tonnage for
shipment when we have railway
facilities. AT the present time only
the mines which show the most val
liable surface workings can be oper-
ated at profit. As soon as we have
a railway, so as 10 have cheap coal
for smelling purposes, local smelters
will be built and many mines will
open up and hundred men will be
then employed where there Is now

TRACKING MOUNTAIN SHEEP.

TRACKING MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
 If the feeding ground or watering place of an old ram is once known, to wait for the quarry is about the best thing to do If the game is seen and it has not observed the hunter before, it can usually be Jagged as antelopes were in former days, The oldest lords, however, seldom respond to the summons and do not often come with in rife range. Hunting bighorn has much in common with hunting ante- lopes, only that in the pursuit of the former there Is grander scenery and more physical exercise.
 The tracks of mountain sheep seldom register, and as the animals, when running, have to place their feet where they can, the trail gives no indication where, or if an animal has been hit If it was shot at Infinitely greater vigilance to observe the signs at the moment of firing, and in the study of hair and blood, Is therefore required than in deer hunting. During October old rams begin to associate with herds, and from then on it is only necessary for the hunter to find out where punches roam. However, as the snow at that time is often very deep in the mountains, it Is harder work to get to their range.-Field and Stream.

No reports have yet been received from Fair Ha- ven or Westville. If the collections in the outlying districts of the city and later receipts equal those of last year the total raised by the committee this season will largely exceed last years total.
 Besides this the ladies in their dona- tion visit to the home on Clinton avenue yesterday afternoon, where an informal reception was held, raised $S50 In addi- tion to the above figures.

A FoRTY-YEAR-oLD DRAMA.
AN ALLEGED MISCARRIAGE IF
 JTTSTICE

AN ALLEGED MISCARRIAGE IF .~. JUSTICE.
 It is never too late to mend repu- tation in France. A few disinterested people, among whom is M. Valle, ex- Minister of Justice, have sea to work to rectify what appears to be slight mistake committed by the Versailles asize court trife of thirty-nine years ago.
 l The story is instructive. A man nam- ed Allegrain, of incorporate habits, had been drinking at the village cafe one fogy night. On his way home with a lantern he fell into pond. He shout ed for help, and was hear by one Gre moin and his wife, who occupied a cottage close at hand. Gremoin hastily dressed and went to the rescue, but was too late to save Allegrain's life. He was pulled out of the pond dead, with a lantern still clutched in his hand. A few days later his wife and his two step-children, a boy and girl, then aged sixteen and seventeen, were arrested. They had frequently quar- relied with Allegrain, and 1t was sup posed they had thrown him into the water At the trial Gremoin was called as a witness. He deposed to having heard the drowning man shout, "Je me noie!" ('Im drwning!"). The judge, paternally intervening to correct the witness, remarked that the word must have been "On me noie!" (Theyre drowning me!"). and Gremoin a hum- ble agricultural laborer, did not dare to maintain his first version.
 The girl was released, but the wife and her son, Louis Gautier, were con victed and sentenced to penal servitude for life. The woman died in prison four years later. The youth served ten years of his time, was released on ticket of leave, and has since been en- gagged in intellectual attempts to clear his character. In vain he urged that Mime. Gremdin who heard the despair ing shout in the night, had not been called as a witness, and that she was prepared to swear to the words. "Je me noie!" The plan shown to the jury was incorrect, he also urged, inasmuch as it showed the Gremoins' cottage to be So far away from the pond that they could not have heard the shout.
 To investigate the affair on the spot M, Valle, with Gautier's counsel and others, went to Domont, where it took place recently, They took the evidence of Mime. Gremoin, who has lived in the cottage since her hubhands death, and convinced themselves by their own ears that shout from the pond could be heard inside the house. Gautier him. self was present, and follower the pro- lceedings with resigned interest Time has ripened his view of the case to al Iindulgent philosophy. It is easy tc make mistakes, he says. He might ado that everything comes to him who waits. The judge who obtained tht conviction Is dead So is Gautiers de fender. Legally, it seems, Gautier hal Inot a leg to stand upon, He canno lhave his conviction wiped out unles! he can produce some new fact dust a' Dreyfus was asked to do, and MmC C1remoin, though a fact, is not a new lone.
