SQuandering of Money by

in the first South Carolina Cis'

The negro is named Prioleau.
He ran against Legare three years
ago, and got 175 votes, on the
strength OF which he made a con.
test, and, even though he lost,
he got the allowance Of $4,000 usn-
ally given by the House to unsuC-
cessful contestants.
PrioIeau ran again against lie.

II Castro proposes to test the

to put on about four extra pairs
OF trousers, after the plan OF the

for there is a first class spanking
coming to Mr.. Castro at the very
first break. France will have a
free hand in Venezuela, and she
will take pleasure in attending to
Castro's case Just as soon as she
can get around to him. And If
France doesn't do the matter JUS

action. Mr.. Roosevelt may de-
plorably lack respect for the Mon
roe Doctrine, but he is just natur-

serve the purpose better than
anybody. Castro has already in

rather unexpectedly, and ss usual
from the quarters whore IL might
least have been expected, In
the prospect Of clash between
the United States and China.
While much Of the news sent out
from Washington is highly sensa-
tional and sometimes colored for q
purpose, the dispatches appear to
indicate that the administration
is seriously concerned over the
situation in China, and the war
department is Fastening to pre-
pare for possible grave emergen'
cies.
The war, If it comes, will not
be on account of the boycott which
the Chinese merchants and guilds
have been prosecuting for nearly
a year against American goods.
This would no more constitute q
casus belli than did our exclusion
of Chinese Coolie immigration for
the past twenty years or more.
But trouble may arise over the
treatment OF the American mis-
sionaries and other citizens in
China. While the Chinese gov
eminent has disclaimed any re.
sponsibility for the boycott and
has issued orders to the govern
ors Of provinces and other Chin
ese officials, discouraging it, it is
believed that it has not acted in
good faith or with due diligence in
the matter, and ONE of the re-
ports haveindicated that the gov
eminent is at, the bottom OF the
movement.
The long cherished Chinese antip,
athy to the "ioreign devi"' has
been heightened probably by the
success of the Japanese against
the Russians and now there are
signs OF an increasing activity in
the auti.foreign feeling. Warn
ings have been sent out to the
Americans in China by friendly
Chinese that February "a has been
set apart as q day for the massa'
ere of all the foreigners, particu,
larry Americans.
It will be the irony OF history II
the war should come, in view OF
the fact that the United States has
been the consistent friend OF China
for many years, defending her by
energetic diplomacy, auu even
threats OF stronger measurers,
against the sggressions Of the
European powers England, Rus
STA, Germany, France and Italy,
which havv seized slices of her
territory and plotted the dismem'
bermen tot the Chinese empire.
We iorgave China most Of heI
debt Of $25, 900, 900 due US on &C

Nevertheless, il trouble comes il
will be the duty of the American
government to protect the lives

dents in China, or to avenge their
deaths by stern measures.

We Have More OF 1t.

The biggest strike made in recent
years considering the location OF the lind,
the size of the streak and the value OF
the ore, was made the fore part OF the
week in the face of the lateral being
driven on the Saratoga vein from the
Newhouse tunnel, three miles in from
daylight and at depth of quarter OF a
mile below the surface.
The streak has been exposed along the
hanging wall for some distance and is
from sixteen TO twenty inches in width
Assays made last Monday gave returns oi
7.oo ounces gold and 1860 ounces silver
per ton, the gross value of which is sI72
z9 per ton.
There is no gu sstion but what the main
Saratoga ore shoot has been reached.
In the eighth, ninth and tenth levels the
vein was from eight to twenty-five feet
wide and everything between the walls
was pay ore. The shoot at that point
was over 500 feet long, and it is estimat
ed that the block Of ground produced
several millions.

AWARD CONTRACT
ALFRED FREEDMAN WILL DRIVE THE
BIG CENTRAL TUNNEL.
WORK WILL START IN A FEW DAYS
COMPANY HAS AMPLE FUNDS TO
COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

REPRESENTATIVES of the Big Five were
asking for bids for driving the Central
tunnel single and double track size, or
SIS and SKIS feet, and this morning
verbal award of the contract was made
to Alfred friedman, and the contractor
vii b. expected to start work within .
few davs. The contract price is not
made public, but it is reported to be
St2 50 Per foot for the single track and
sos, PER foot for the double track size.
No premium or bonus for footage is in
Guided or cor plated, but it is expec-
ted that the CONTRACTOR will make min
imum OF rso feet per month. 1t is opti-
oual with the company whether 1t
accept th. bid for the single or double
track s}z', the management is as yet
undecided. 1t is admitted that there IS
no necessity for a double track tunnel.
| ard that The latest tunnel practice is in
favor OF the single track size because its
object is to penetrate the territory ahead
as gu cKIg as possible. 1t may be sever
al Years vet before the Central tunnel will
| lie in need of double tracks, and the prob
! abilities are that several miles OF laterals
will have 20 be driven before the need
of Two tracks will be apparent. The
present heading is in 4 7e5 feet and the
contract awarded will place the face
Of the tunnel well into G lpin county.
The first vein of importance which will be
cut by the tunnel is the keutuck, 500
/ feet ahead OF the breast.
| The Genital tunnel has been idle for
some months, largely because of the lack
OF funds, but the officers OF the Big Five
have been uuremitting il their efforts
to accumulate money with which to con.
tiuue the tunnel.

Civ Dads Deliberate ..

The cisy council met in adj ,urued ses-
Oh last Monday night to decide upoa
the issue of the hour-the water work
supply system. On the day previous a
number of members OF the council had
gone up the south fork of Chicago creek
! and located the Idaho springs Reservoir, a
little over half way UP the lakes fork t.
Chicago lakes. The new reservoir is
idway between Echo lakes aud lower
Chicago lake on fiat place in the main
chanpel. Being inside Pixies peak
timber reserve, a reservoir if built at
that place will come under the regula.
tons ofthe government. 1t is proposed
to build a dam of timber and earth, of
which there is an abundance of the LAT
ter, while the former may be purchased
| from Uncle Sam through the local forest
ranger, The dam if built toa heighth
of twenty feet or more will have to be
constructed in accordance with the plans
approved by the state engineer. 1t Is
estimated that wagon road to the new
reservoir site will not cost less than
! s., 900 but it is said that properly con-
structed earthen dam will hold the
water and make the building of dam
with rock and containing reinforced
concrete core unnecessary. The
question has also arisen as to whether
the city interferes with the regularity
filed appropriation of the food waters of
| Chicago lakes made by Mr.. Bancroft
under the irrigation provisions of the
legislature passed some years ago. The
proposed city storage reservoir is located
in the channel of the left hand fork of
Chicago creek where Mr.. Bancroft pro-
poses to run ditch or pipe line to Echo
lake where the flood waters will be i'm
pounded to be released in August and
September for the irrigation of growing
crops in the valley between Golden ana
Denver.
The council still has under consider
alton the Edith lake proposition, and
number of the members are in favor of
building dam at that place, together
with half mile or more of pipe lice
or flume to take in the headwaters of
West Chicago creek. The only objec-
ton to the plan SO far, is the fact that
bedrock has not yet been located at any
place where a dam I, 900 feet or more
in length is contemplated. This pre-
seuts a feature of a dam construction
that must be considered before any es-
tim ates of the cost of the building can
be made, The fact that the funds left
for the completion of the city water
works system are limited. makes it in
cumbent upon the council to use its
best judgement in securing q water
supply, which will forever set at rest
any controversy over the rights of the
city to the use of water from Chicago
creek at any and all times.
The matter of extending the supply
pipeline from DEVILS canon 10 Cascade
creek, the distance being little over
5000 feet, has been talk ed over, but
no decision has been arrived at as yet.
and it is not likely that anything will
be done until after the city secures
adequate storage facilities.
AT the council meeting Monday
night it was decided to secure the ser.
vices of Q hydraulic engineer to look
over the two propositions for reservoir
purposes. and the council will be
guided largely BY his recommendations.
