Motors Replace Omnibus.

The announcement made yesterday
that the London General Omnibus
Company has decided during the next
three years to substitute motors for
horses on all the main roads will
greatly interest the people of London,
says the London Morning Post. 1t
means that the change from the old
omnibus to the motor bus is to be car
ried out much more rapidly than was
contemplated few months ago. What
the change will be may be partly in
ferred from some figures given yester-
day by Sir John Pound. He said that
at the end Of 1905 the company had
twenty-nine motors at work, but that
by the end OF 1906 they will have no
less than 300.

THE FISHING CASE
NOT so BAD AS 1T MIGHT BE
Though Property Is Protected From
Tresspass, Owners Are Not
All Curmudueons.

1t is to be hoped that the fishermen
OF the state will accept the final decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the fish
case in the proper spirit, and that
there Will be no attempt at foolish
measures of so-called retaliation, says
the Leadville Herald-Democrat We
see 1t stated that some sportsmen had
declared that II the decision was
against the fishermen they would in
stitute other proceedings and drive the
state fish commission out of business.
All this would be extremely unwise,
because it would injure the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-
suit
AS matter of fact the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the case prop.
erly understood is not against the fish
ermen. 1t is the simple assertion on
the part Of the court of the rights of
property and it's protection against
tresspass. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that every owner of property
through which a trout stream mean.
ders Is going to post dogs and senti-
nels so as to keep fishermen away. 1t
doesn't imply that every ranchman in
the state is a crusty old curmudgeon
who intends to play the dog in the
a fisherman is on private land indulg-
ing in his favorite sport that he is
there as privilege and not as right.
II he attends strictly to his fishing and
has some regard for the property and
crops of the rancher it is hardly likely
that one individual in a thousand will
make objection.
The Pueblo Chieftain sums up the
situation thus:
IF the fishermen had always been
reasonably and decently considerate of
the rights of the land owners, it is
probable that this question would
never have been brought into the
courts. But where the fisherman
breaks down fences. leaves gates open.
turns stock into meadows, or tramps
through grain fields. it is not surpris-
ing that the ranchmen should seek
some remedy, and the fact is that
things had come to pass In some VAL
leys in this state, that 1t seemed to be
question as to which has the greater
right on the farm, the owner or the
fisherman"
The Herald-Democrat would suggest
that in case any ranchman shows dis
position to be mean with the decent
sportsman that the case be reported to
the local Sportsmen's Association and
the name be posted so as to give fair
warning in order that the churl be
given a wide berth.

The Life Of a Mine.

What is it? 1t is frequently asked
by would-be investors in mining enter
prises: How long will IL last? Who
can tell? In broad terms. the life of a
mine is that period during which it can
produce ore at a profit. But the varia-
tions are wide. In the Comstock ice
had to be lowered to the deepest levels
to enable the men to withstand the
intense heat. the temperature in that
case determining the possibilities ofthe
mine, while the ore continued as rich
as ever. In the Michigan copper fields
on the other hand depth of nearly a
mile has been attained without seri-
GUS Inconvenience.
In all mines great depth carries with
1t enormous increase of expense. The
cost of raising the ore and waste in
creases in direct proportion to with the
depth, and naturally the time will
come in any mine when the cost OF
hoisting will exceed the value of the
product.
Then come air conditions. The cost
of compresslng air under normal condi-
tions is reasonably well understood
but when air is to be forced down to
the lowest level, the original cost of
the plant Is enormously increased, and
the outlay for maintenance and repairs
with the interest on the invested capi-
tai makes great hole in the profits.
In the Rand of South Africa some of
the engineers are now figuring on 60
ing down to 10000 feet, and the cost of
air Is one of the most serious items of
expense.
Then comes the matter of the time
lost in travelling up and down. Most
miners demand pay from the time they
reach the collar of the shaft. The ma.
jority of the deep mines are not pro.
vided with the great engines which an.
initiate time and space in reaching
the bowels of the earth. and where
lives are at stake the progress up and
down Is slow. The loss of ten per
cent of the miners time is great
draft on the resources even of the best
mines. and of course point may be
reached where this loss becomes pro.
hibitive.
There are so many considerations in
determining this question that no hy-
pothesis could come anywhere near fit.
ting any actual situation. therefore 1t
is probable that the question will al
ways remain indeterminate. Each
mine is a law unto itself.-Ores and

Get RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable Il to
Do lts Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs. especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness. hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness aud
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach Is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that will
rouse it to do the work Of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva G. Ladd. of Ipswich,
Mass, says: ~ had weak stomach

cause terrible faintness, aud / would
finally vomit what l had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense

have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells We're very

Origin of the Hat Banu.

An archeologist points out that the
hat band in the modern mans hat can
be traced to a fillet which in ancient
times held in shape a simple piece OF
cloth. Sometimes this fillet was tied
in a bow behind. the tails of which
survive in the Scotch cap. the sailor
hat and the bishops mitten. A little
bow inside in the lining OF the hat Is
a survival of a lacing which kept the
lining in shape, or possibly it dates
back to time when a lat was made
by putting a string through holes in
a fiat piece of leather and by drawing
1t together for crown.

A Vindication for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court Of the
State, Against the Ladies' Home
Journal.

A verdict has been rendered in
brought against the Ladies' Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Coz by the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, Of which
DR.. R. V. Pierce is president. The
suit was brought by Doctor Pierce
against the Curtis Publishing Co..
for making false statements about one
of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number Of the
Ladies' Home Journal 5000, Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the defend
ant maliciously published this article
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol Is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription. q"
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever: that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some OF the ingredients of said medi-
cine. was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial. the Vice
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated. that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal.

Worlds Gold Production.

The worlds gold production, which
was $57,000,00O in 1850, according to
the United States mint estimate, has
been increased until last years figures
may fairly be taken, according to esti-
mates of competent authorities, at
$375,000,000. In fifty-five years the an
nual supply of the worlds standard of
value has multiplied seven times. In
1860 the figures OF 1850 had been dou-
bled, but in 1870 the output was less.
In 1880 1t was still under the figureS
of 1860, and even in 1890 it was only a
comparatively small trifie above them.
Gold production in the Transvaal first
became factor in 1889, but it was not
until 1895 that it's enormous possibili-
ties were appreciated. In that year
the worlds output had already in
creased eighty per cent. and in 1900
the figures of 1890 had more than dou-
bled. 1t will be seen how remarkable
the increase was in the decade of 1890
1900. The gain since 1900 Is still
more extraordinary, amounting to an
increase of fifty per cent.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Value Of Tunnels.

The economic value of tunnels is be-
ing demonstrated in Colorado at the
present time. Especially is this the
case where the bores have been run
for the purpose of draining mining
district. One of the most notable cases
is that of the Newhouse, at Idiho
Springs. This tunnel was run a dis
tance of 10000 feet and from 1t a num-
ber of laterals were driven. Sections
of the Gilpin-Clear Creek mining dis
tricts which have been closed, or
which have only worked above water
level for years, are taking on new life
as result. In the opening of the
great Saratoga mine the tunnel has
tapped a treasure vault, the production
from which is destined to surprise the
state. The nine miles of workings in
this property, which have been flooded
for years past, are known to be rich,
and the result of underwriting it with
the tunnel has never for a moment
been in doubt.
The drainage tunnel in the Cripple
Creek district has saved its cost, in
pumping charges, several times since
it was driven and it's utility was such
that another bore is to be sent under
the mountains to cut the vein system
at still greater depth.
Another case-and one of the most
remarkable in the West, Is the Joker
tunnel, which is unwatering Red
mountain in the San Juan section. The
mines of this section are famous, CON-
nriginU crch hn Yonkna
Girl, Genesee, Vanderbilt and others,
with international regulations as pro-
ducers OF high grade ores. These prop
critics were closed down, not SO much
because of the low price of silver as
the acid condition of the waters with
which the pumps had to battle, and fin
ally the struggle was abandoned. When
George Crawford started the Joker tun-
mel Red mountain was a deserted min
ing camp-a memory, almost, and
Ironton but the ghost of its former self
"a district with departed glory,
about which the world had all but for
gotten.
The starting of this tunnel created
interest-the tapping of the water
course brought people to a realization
of wat was in progress-still the tun-
mel proceeded on its course-the pro-
GuctlOn OF ore was commenced. Mil
ers are fiocking into the district, and
before the middle of the summer the
output will reach 1000 tons per day
it will increase as the old workings are
recovered, and the population that will
settle about the mines will be greater
than was the case in the days of long
ago, for a lower grade of ore may be
handled to profit now than was the
case then.
And all this because of the tunnel
system.
Everybody is familiar with the his
tory of the Comstock lode of Nevada
the work now in progress there would
be impossible were it not for the Su-
tro tunnel.
The Ontario drain tunnel of Utah is
another notable example, and hundreds
of cases might be cited which, while
they might not be of the magnitude of
those mentioned, are equally impor
tant to the district in which they have
been driven and the purposes whicn
they serve.-Ores and Metals.
