THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1906.

Textile manufacturers the world over, says the New York Journal oi Commerce, will be interested in three plans for the scientific regulation ol wages now under discussion in Eng, land. The problems are very diff. cult, but give promise of an early so- lution. The principle is that of bas- ing the wages on the returns on the capital employed. There is to be es- tablished a conciliation board, and the rate of wages that is to be stand ard rate was that paid before the last 5 per cent advance. When there is an increased return on the capital of per cent above the fixed rate of profit, then there is to be an increase in wages, but no advance or reduc. tion of wages is to be made unless the rise or fall in profit, as the case may be, reaches at least 2 per cent.

EAST HARTFORD sruNG.
Local Ice Crops Have been Sold to
 Hartford Dealers.

Hartford, May 24.-The visible supply of ice in East Hartford has been sold at wholesale and no ice has beenpdelievered to private houses this week except by Gilbert A. Sprague, a local expressman, who has rigged up a one-horse wagon and is peddling ice which he buys at the cars in Hartford. His equipment is entirely inadequate to supply even a small part of the town properly. J. H. Boardman, wholesale dealer, has sold his entire crop to the Trout Brook company of Hartford and Leon Le Court will complete a deal in the morning by which the Aetna Brew ing company of Hartford takes his entire crop. Le Court has been the largest ice merchant in town for a number of years. but has been forced to give the business up on account of physical disability. Mir Le Court is under contract to supply the local stores and markets with ice and the local tra6rsmen are anxious to know where they ''are at" in the deal. In past seasons the Hartford ice companies have delivered ice to resi- dents. but as yet they have not ap- peared this year. Most of the citizens who have wells are storing their per- ishable foods there, but since the wa ter supply of the town was developed some years ago many wells have been abandoned.

eration of the tariff bill, could rally enough members to his support to carry such motion. It seems as though it would be piece of very bad generalship for Senator Lodge to risk a decisive defeat at this time and no one has ever accused the astute Massachusetts statesman of being bad general. But suppose Senator Lodge should make the mo tion and it should be carried? There remains but little time for the sen. ate to deliberate on anything except appropriation bills and there are a dozen or more senators who are pre-. pared to talk on this subject indefi' nitely. to open up the tariff discus sion. and. in short, to employ all the tactics known to obstructionists in that body.

At the present time the senate is not ia the humor to take kindly tO any measure so distinctly associated with the administration as the Phil ippine tariff bill. says our Washing ton correspondent The relations be- tween the White House and the sen ate are so strained that there are not wanting those in the senate who would take delight in further harsss. ing the administration by holding Hg or ofheYrise defeating any measure vith which it vas identified.

The attention of the navy depart ment having been called to the varia- tions of compasses on ships plying in the great lakes, Commander Nichol- son, assistant chief of the equipment bureau, has been ordered to Cleve- land, O., for the purpose of setting up prominent marks in proper places so that the captains of passing ships may check off any error in their compasses and make the necessary ad- justments. For some time past many complaints have been made by lake captains of the cratic behavior of their compasses upon which the safe ty of their ships depends. Cargoes of iron ore and metals capable of affecting the magnetic needle were undoubtedly the prime cause of these complaints, but it was realized that it might be possible to reduce the evils arising from such causes. Commander Nicholson takes with him the necessary instruments to es- tablish true north" at these marked places and will call upon the nearest branch Photographic offices for any needed help. Such marks will he placed on the banks of the StnClair river and in the straits of Mackinaw, which will enable captains of ships passing between the three great lakes of Michigan, Superior and Huron to make the necessary correc- tions in their compasses.

Wes. Cannady met with an accident
las. Saturday night at the Burns Moore
tunnel, which very fortunately did not
result seriously. He had gone in to the
breast shortly af' 'er q round of holes had

thick cloud ofpowder smoke still hang

climbing back over the muck he was

enough to crawl ON his hands and knees
some dis;a ance before the blast went of.
He wa, unconscious when found about
sixty feet from the breast, about hal
an hour later, and removed as quickly
as possible to his home, and a physician
was summoned. Beyond a number Of
bruises and cuts on the head and body
he was not injured. He inhaled con-

Nsw Ore Conditions.

The Jackson Mining. Leasing and De-
velopnen, company, operating the Silver
Queen vein from the Ne~house tunnel
level, Is considering somewhat new
condition in its operation, and, as we are
Informed. is making thorough exam
iuation of its ore conditions for the pur-
nose of determining the future course OF
esperations. 1t will be remembered that
about a month ago the company opered
about ten inches of ore averaging nearly
fso per tor. The DRIFT had been in an
ore shoot for some time, but of too low
grade for shipment, and the ore shoot
continued for forty or fifty feet Several
tons of nre were taken from the pay streak
but il WAS found that at no place did
the ore go up more than five feet above
the noor of the drift, while it has contiu-
ued stroug in the bottom. THIS condi
tion is reported from other properties
worked from the tunnel level aud has
given rise to the theory Of a zone OF rich
ore below the level Of the tunnel the
ory that APPEARS to be justified by the
experience in sinking the Wine from
Gem " 1rkings.

At times in ones life there comes an
impulse to return to one 5 first love, a
sweetheart, perhaps, a place, or an
avccation of the past. Associated
with the thought is some pleasant
recollection OF happy period, maybe
boyhood, school or college days. An
illustration of this is found in the pio
neer prospectors some of whom for
years have Joined every rush or stam
pede where the newspapers and the
railroads have started mining blooms
in some particular locality. These
prospectors have gone to far away
places, endured the discomforts and
hardships in isolated spots, and they
invariably return to Golden, Colorado.
These men who find fortunes tor
others, usually know the opportuni-
ties are greater here. Colorado was
their first loye-and the old proNe erb
says, the first love IS the best" The
Clear Creek mining district is the old
est. and Idaho Springs the first mining
camp in the Centennial state.
1t was here. on the banks of Clear
creek, that the first discovery in the
state of gold in paying quantities was
made. nearly half a century ago, since
which time Colorado has shown with
resplendent glory in the galaxy of
states. for she has added to the worlds

Of the precious metals, is due to the

terms. There are no frozen miles of
Alaska, nor the miles of trackless des
ert waste with its sultry, burning
sands, as in the southwestern section
of the United States. Every necessary
adjunct to successful mining-timber
coal and water. and the fuXes for

During the year 1905 Colorado
added forty-two tons of gold and 44o
tons of silver as her contribution of
precious metals for use in the arts and
as a medium of exchange. OF the to

the United States, including Alaska,
Colorado alone furnished thirty per

the output, and mining is carried on as

A local pool is being formed to take
lease on the Trentina vein in the New
house tunnel. This lode was purchased
BY the tunnel company over two years
ago for $500, and Two men working
FIVE weeks in driving a DRIFT east froru
the tunnel, took out ore enough to pay
all expenses and pay in full for the pro
erty. This was the only mining ever
done in the Newhouse tunnel by the
owners of the tunnel. In four mouths
they took out over IS 900 worth of ore,
and after reaching the edge of the ore
shoot at the level Of the tunnel no fur
ther work was done The local pool ex-
poets to raise on the ore shoot with ma.
chine drills. In the back of the drift
there is three inch streak showing,
which will run over $500 per ton.
