Chance for Americans,

1t Is said that week of the fog so COM

supply a town of 40, 900 people an entire

expense annually, and in winter enjoy
sunshine only one-fourth of the time, to

the fog is aggravated by the outpourings
of smoke-laden chimneys, which infect
the air, bringing periodically an alarm

The case is arousing considerable in

November 7th last, Good, who was
visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Long, was stabbed by his brother-in-
law during a family quarrel in which
Long attempted to punish little three
year-old stepson against the protests of

lungs to protrude. Long then disap-
peared, going to Texas. Through diff

Novel Charity.

When there were only few rich
people society left them to shift for
themselves. AS the number increased.
says Youths Companion, we envied
them, abused them, reminded them,
not without some hypocrisy. that they
might not be as happy as we poor
folk. The world was willing to give
them relief of their money, but never
sought to ameliorate their unhappy
condition. In New York city is new
settlement of expert workers in char
1ty, situated near the mansions Of the
rich, and designed to uplift the down
trodden millionaire. The member OF
the board who writes of the work in
the Outlook appreciates the humor OF
the idea, but he is in earnest. Just
as charity has introduced rich people
into the settlements among the East
side poor, now by compensation
charity is bringing the power of the
East side to inspire philosophy, enthu-
siasm for the arts, patriotism, civic
pride and human sympathy among the
heretofore abandoned rich. The set
tement is teaching wealthy women the
domestic joy with which many of the
huddled poor are blessed because they
nurse their own children and do not
make them orphans in the care Of
hired nurses. 1t is teaching the one
half to respect and initiate the best
that is in how the other half lives"
Human character enervated by wealth
is no more to be blamed than human
character debased by poverty. Both
need teaching. Each class has those
who successfully overcome circum-
stance and those who fail. The failure
among the poor is a tramp with no
visible means of support" The failure
among the rich is happily described as
having no invisible means of support,
no resource within himself. To teach
helpless milliolaires how to work and
how to play is to uplift potentially
good citizens out of the wallow of gold.
just as other settlements have raised
good citizens out OF the mire of penury.

tro Martini, Paul Zills, leader of the
rioters, and Antonio Mazuca. The boy
who was fatally wounded is Charles
Foster twelve years of age.
An eye witness of the riot in describ
ing the affair said the trouble started
ct o'clock, when Deputy Sheriff w.
H. McMullin went to a mass meeting
held by the striking miners in wood
at the edge of the town. Many of the
miners had been drinking and the sight
of the deputy made them furious.
The officer was quickly surrounded
by miners who threatened to kill him.
McMullin, realizing that his situation
was desperate. fled for his life. finding
refuge in the house of Councilman
Charles Davis. Practically every man
who had gone to the mass meeting
Joined in the chase after the fleeing
deputy and soon after the latter had
entered the Davis house it was sur
rounded by a mob of 1000 shouting
cursing miners. who challenged Nc
Mullin to come out.
When McMullin failed to appear
the mob attacked the house and liter
ally wrecked it. The deputy sheriff
was roughly handled, but again man
aged to escape. The members of the
Davis family fled to the homes Of near
by neighbors for shelter. Other dep
uties who had been on duty guarding
the property OF the coal company had
been notified of the trouble by this
time and twenty of the rioters were
landed in the lookup at Windber The
mob, headed by Paul Zills, then
marched to the center of the town and
prepared to storm the Jail and release
the rioters. The deputy sheriffs fixed
bayonets to their rifles and sur
rounded the Jail to keep it from the
mob's possession If possible. The
members of the fire department were
also called out to help restore order.
The foreigners were urged to be Or
derly and leave the town. but infiamed
by liquor, they refused to listen, greet
ing the efforts to pacify them with
boots and peers. At a signal the mob
began to close in on the Jail. shouting
W lu6 ueputleS W luIOW away tuCii
guns and give up the prisoners.
The officers first tried to keep back
the mob with bayonets, but the effort
was Intellectual and when it became
certain that the little band of deputies
and firemen could not stand before
the bowling, infuriated mob they
opened fire.
Those of the foreigners who were
closest to the Jail had already begun
using knives in the attempt to disarm
the deputies, while others flourished
revolvers. The deputies fired but one
volley, when the foreigners broke and
fled in wild disorder, leaving three of
their number dead in front of the Jail.
The wounded who were able to walk
were hurried to their homes, while
an ambulance took the more seriously
hurt to the Windsor hospital.

The habit of keeping punches Of 500
bills in shoe boxes in bedroom closets
up to $4,000 is not to be commended.
It is unsafe to keep over $40 1000 in the
house. advises the Abilene Reflector,
though doubtless many Kansas farm
ers grow careless through handling
their increasing wealth and do not
realize how ltrge sum they have on
hand. 1t is good plan for farmers
to count their money every week or
two and deposit all above $4,000, Just
little handy money, in some good sub
otantial bank.

David W. Brunton Sees a Great
Future for This Ore Re-

PROSPERITY IN MINING CAMPS
Says il Prevails All over the West

Picking Up.

David w. Brunton, who is well known
throughout the west as a mining engi-
neer, and also because OF his connection
with the Taylor & Brunton Samping
company is in the city on his way TO
Tonopah and Goldheld
Although Mr.. Brunton was here sew
eral months ago he has noticed quite
a change taking place in the general
prosperity Of the city. and sees no rea-
son why It should not go forward with
leaps and bounds.
"Salt Lake Is certainly becoming
great smelling center, and is so well
situated geographically that II Is going
to become one OF the greatest In the
world. The smelters OF the valley, I
understand, are giving treatment to
about 900 tons q day. That Is n whole
lot of ore. but that Is small in COM
parlson to what 1t will be when plans
for further engagements are carried
out.
''rhe general condition OF mining
throughout the west IL generally good"
continued Mr.. Brunton. ''the Develop
ment of Nevada goes forward steadily
and Is resulting In the nnding of a lot
OF new shippers of ore. The most Of
81 win come 10 Salt Lake for treatment.
Hence the city VIII be benefited.
In Colorado, prosperity seems to pre-
vail everywhere, and even such old
camps as Leadyile and Aspen are look
ing up and have recently reported some
important strikes
Mr.. Brunton was asked to give his
opinion as to the future of the copper
market. to which he replied
II am confident the copper market Is
going to be good for some time TO come,
because OF the tremendous demand for
the metal by manufacturers. 4 great
many electric railroads are being built
and some of the big companies of the
east contemplate electrifying their lines
and there being no substitute for trolley
wires, that means there Is going to be
q demand for the products Of the cop
per mines. While the price may fall be-
low present quotations, | never expect
20 see copper sell as low az or 10 cents
again. Yes, the future looks very bright
for copper"
