Proposed Minias Draina2s Law.


The proposed District Aisiag Tunnel
Drainage La~. if enacted, will pat
permanent blight upon mining in Colo
ratio. and ~ill end in the conhscstios
of many mall properties.
The pro oos-d Law puts it in the power
of ten persons, owning or operating
mines, whose aggregate Of assessed
values is on~-,hird that of all the proper
ties IN the proposed drainage district, to
create such drainage district if they can
get The d stric, Judge to consent 70 the
plan. A board of supervisors OF the
drainage district is then appointed and
this board has the power to create debts
and issue bonds and assesses tax as
hiph as Eve per cent annually on the
assessed sluatiou of all properties.
lues can in one hour, create . bonded
debt, which will he enforced to the
last dollar by judgements in the State
and Federal Courts, against all the min
ing properties OF the district, although
the drain ge tunnel has not been built.
Cass Coiuty, L., had such an ex-
perience under a similar law, permitting
the Coun Cuur, to authorize the issu-
ance Of bonds for building a R, r.
through the county. The bonds were
issued aud the K. X. was not built. The
aryfy people shot to death the county
Judges they hal elected but the debt
iemained aud was enforced in the Fed
eral Court by the Innocent purchasers of
the bonds F many years the blight
was on thai county and ITS land values
shrunk IA, d IT'S growth Was arrested.
Ii is ofIeu the case that the assessed
value OF large district containing
numerous small properties. Therefore
the owners of that mine by getting a
few 20 joi them could construct drain
age tunu.l for their m'ne and put two
thirds Of Tie COS, on the owners of the
Other properties.
Every miting --a~ k-""s that v-rv

district would be directly bench red
by such tunnel. The cost of conuest-
ing each properly so as 10 make Its
drainage eff frctive would in most cases
be v-ry large An IN many cases p'ohib-
tive.
The only ist way for those who wish
drainage tunnel, Is to form company
{ their own for Its Construction. and TO
make a charge upon all who wish to
connect with it.
ANY district drainage tunnel Law
upon the statute book "f Colorado, will
create dread and be a big hit upon all the
mining districts { the stat-, and 1t will
he uriltz,d by schemers to discourage
mine owners and TO make them par
with their properties at low prices by
promoting and threatening the creation
Of a dra.nage district involving their
properties.
The mere existing of such a law will
seriously Injure the mining industry of
Colorado and its actual operation will be
d heavy annual burd-n upon and will
often end in the oufscation Of most of
the smaller properties.

A Pleasant. Simple, but Safe and
EffcctuaI Cure for It
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings. a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and il the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
tion is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment Is to use after
each meal tablet, composed of dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being patent

safety and assurance that healthy APP
petite and thorough digestion will fol-

writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold In the
head, whereby the lining membrane OF
the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches
the stomach. thus producing catarrh OF
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for ca-
tarrh of stomach without cure, but to-

would withdraw the charge against
her She compiled with this condi-
tion and Attorney Spicer has an

statement Miss Boden of the Sunnyside
school is said to have made to George
Hood, milk inspector and deputy, when
he entered the school Friday morning,
attracted by the outcries of the chill
dren.
Mr. Hood was driving past the little
tWo-room building which is the temDor-
airy school of the Sunnyside district,
about II o'clock Friday morning when
the noise of a good rod welded by a
strong arm on boys tender anatomy
fell upon his ears 1t was evident that
il the process continued much longer
there would be no rod left to keep an
other child from spoiling so Mr.. Hood
who wears an officers badge, entered
the school yard. The scene that met
his gaze was remarkable one. Behind
an outbuilding a group of boys were
standing. In the school all was tur-
moil. AS he reached the door several
girls came out, one Of them declaring
my God, 1 can't stand 1t any longer"
A youngster came out, shouting back
defiantly you can't whip me with
that rawhide, 1 won't stand for it,"
Could Whip Little Ones
Within, conditions were no better.
Mr.. Hood said last night: "The wo-
mans eyes were glaring almost like
mad dog; she didn't seem to have any
control over herself. She was laying it
on to a little fellow as hard as she
could when 1 came in. 1 asked her to
stop and she told me I'm running this
school, and | propose TO run 1t as
please
II asked her what the trouble was
and she told me. II seems she had told
the boys she would thrash them all

after recess. and so a large number
didn't come to school. She said: I can't
whip the big boys, but / can the little
ones 1 asked her whether she thought
that altogether fair, and she told me
that she would run the school as she
pleased"
By this time almost all the pupils had
left the school, several of the girls be-
ing hysterical. Mr.. Hood urged them
to go back to their studies. There will
be no more whipping today" he prom
ised
At this juncture several of the larger
boys came around the side of the school
carrying long rope. I'VE know what
to do with her." exclaimed the leader.
Were going to drag her out. There'll
be no more whipping this afternoon"
Here Mr.. Hood had to play the role of
protector of the teacher. This business
of throwing out teachers won't CO." he
told them. go back to your rooms and
sit down, and take up this case with
your parents and the trustees later on"
Show Dig WeIts
Several of the boys exhibited huge
welts and scars, mementoes of previous
applications of elbow grease applied
through the rod, and one boy was pro-
duced on whom blood had been drawn
the day before. Mr.. Hood said that
when he came there were about twenty
pupils outside several of whom would
not return, but went home.
II suppose" said Mr., Hood, "she had
great provocation, but the teacher in
the room beside her didn't find 1t neces-
sary to be so severe. She has the en-
tire school against her. and l don't be-
lieVe she'll be worth 10 cents for the
next fifteen years. If l had child OF
mine in her room / would take the ut
most pains to have her transferred to
another school without further delay. L
don't want to do her an injustice, but
there is a deep-seated feeling against
her and 1 believe her days OF useful
ness in that school are at an end. L
didn't feel like 'butting in" but L
thought that the events justified it,"
When Mr., Hood left several of the
girls thanked him for stopping the
scene, and some Of the boys wanted to
shake hands with him; but he told
them he hadn't come there to shake
hands, and simply wanted to restore
order.

BARON RoTHscHILp's
ENVOY BUYS OIL
ny THE EAvBsDROPPBR

The personal representative Of Baron
Edward Rothsohld, w. Melscke Smith
of Shanghai, arrived at the Alexandria
yesterday.
Mr.. Smith has just closed an oil deal
in Southern California which involveh
the exchange of H,500,000
In addition to being the personal rep
resentative of Baron Rothschild, the
John ID. Rockefeller of England, Mr..
Smith is representative in China of the
Aslatlc Petroleum company, which Is
to the eastern hemisphere what Stand
ard Oil is to the western hemisphere
The company has headquarters at "a
and 2S st. Mary avenue, London, and
its influence extends over the greater
part of the world
For the last week Mr.. Smith has been
the guest of the Santa Ynez Valley Oil
company, which owns 10000 acres of oil
producing land in Santa Barbara
county. In company with the president
Of the company, 70. II. Edwards and
the secretary he inspected the oil lands
and they have bonded to him 10000
acres of the property for s1500,O00.
He is a remarkable man in many
ways. A linguist with ten languages
on his tongues end, man of keen per-
ception, unusual education and
young men of the day can duplicate.
An incident of his trip to Southern
California and one which has given him
more pleasure than almost any other
feature, occurred last night in the Alex
andria corridor when he walked into
the hotel and discovered party of dis
tinguished Russian army officers who
had just arrived on q late train.
A year ago. while making an expedi-
tion from Shanghai through the Jungle
In the heart of which mysterious coun-
try Tibet is situated, he met there
Russian officers, Major General p. M.
Zakharon, Lieutenant General c. A.
Kondratovich and Lieutenant Colonel
Glushanovsky He has not seen them
since then and had not the remotest
| idea that he would meet them in Los
Angeles after \the parting in that re-
mote part of China.
Inc Russians all saw service in the
Japanese-Russian war and are now on
their way to st. Petersburg from Man
churia. All three of them express
themselves as delighted with America
and say that the most friendly rela-
| tionS imaginable exist between Russia
and America.
When asked of present conditions in
Russia Lieutenant General Kondrato,
Vtch answered that he does not know.
| Il am fighter, l know nothing of
politics." said he in English that was
remarkably good for a man who says
he knows almost nothing of the Ian
| guage.
His companions were only able to
extend greetings and to shake their
heads when questioned in English, but
their tongues We're unloosed with de-
light when Mr.. Smith addressed them
in their mother tongue.
"The one thing that am mad about
is that 1 was not born in America"
said Mr.. Smith, and he also said some
other things about the country that
were nothing if not complimentary.

NEW YORK; Nov t7.-The Times
today prints a letter, said to have been
written by Captain Karl Reichman'
L. S. A., until recently a military In
structor i'm West Point and military
attache representing this country In
Mgnchurie and South Africa during
The Russian and Boer wars, in which
the statement is made that Captain
Reichman is refused admission as a
member of the general staff of the
limited states army because, as he al
leges. he was born in Germany.
The letter was written to friend
in this city, it is stated, and relates
a series of suspicious entertained by
brother officers against him. Captain
Ileichman. it is stated, never intended
that the letter should be made public,
but his friends are said to have
thought differently about it.
An extract of the letter published
follows
II almost wish 1 could have died
without knowing I was not trusted
by my superiors. In nearly twenty
five years of service | have done my
duty without looking to the right or
to the left, yet L am not trusted.
II do not want any scandal and the
! last thing I want to do is to involve
the general staff in a scandal, for even
though they refuse me admission my
duty as an officer impels and compels
me to assist them in their work in so
far as lies within my power and
province.
My heart is broken. l shall always
feel that l am under suspicion; that
| cannot even go and visit my old
mother without arousing suspicion OF
my disloyalty in the minds of the gen.
eral staff
The Times says a movement has
been started to bring the attention
of the president to Captain Reich
mans case.
