BLESSED BY THE POPE.

Our readers have been advised that the
Pope sent his blessing to the National
Convention of the Catholic Total Abstin-
ence. Union of America assembled at
Providence, R. l., last month. Because
of his "desire to encourage the efforts
Of the Union he confirms the privileges
accorded the Union by Leo XIII and
grants a number of others which will be
highly esteemed by Catholics. The Pope
closes ut is hoped that by comforting
such abundant favors not only the
bishops, priests and members of religious
orders but the rest of the faithful will
resolve to bear witness and become men,
berS of the Union.''

THE CAUSE OF GRAFT.

This is the way the Indiana platform
puts it:
I'VE assert our belief that the present
tendency to graft has it's origin in the
purchasing of exemption from prosecu-
ton by law-violating saloonkeepers, and
has been fostered and encouraged by the
bride of high license which the liquor
to live, and we declare that the spirit
of graft can never be overcome so long
as a business which is condemne1 by the
churches, the courts, and all Christian
civilization, is legalized for the money
it will pay and the revenue it will bring"

WILL WITHDRAW IF JONES WINS.

J. D. EngIe, Hennepin county PrOhibi-

nomination. He will withdraw after the
primary election if Mayor Jones is chosen
again to head the Republican ticket
This action is in harmony with the pur-
pose of the PrOhbitiOnists as declared
at an informal conference held some
weeks since, a policy which, as we have
before noted, has received the general
appreciation of Prohibitionists and all
friends of law and order.

Alpine Mill Resumes Operations

The Alpine concentrating mill, owned
and operated by the Indiana Gold Min
ing and Milling company, will start up
with couble shifts beginning Monday
morning, with its entire capacity of 100
tons every "a hours, engaged in the trea at
ment Of the output of the Addudel mire
in Russell gulch. A reserve supply of
within the past week to start with and
from three to FIVE aston carloads OF ore
will be delivered to the mill daily, the
ore being shipped by way Of the Gilpin
tramway and the Colorado & Southern
railway,
The Addudel mine is operated by the
Tawasa Mining and Cyaniding company,
and the output will come from the upper
workings until slopes have been start
ed in the laterals from the Newhouse tun-
mel. The crude ore concentrates about
three tons into one and carries values
OF near 81 per ton, A considerable
quantity was being shipped direct to the
smelters when treatment charges were
raised, and a trial shipment of seven
carloads made to the Alpine mill last
week, lave such good returns that Man
ager T. II. Tracy decided to treat the
ore by concentration.
The equipment Of the Alpine mill is
particularly adapted to the concen
tration of ores of the character of the
Addudel and . most satisfactory saving
of values has been made on that class of
ores. Ed. Shoellkopf is the manager
of the mill and is a thorough business
man. The millman w. b. Gilmore has
had years Of experience and is consid-
cred one of the best men in his line in
the state.

Chanpe Made in Yankee Mail Route.

By order OF the postal department at
Washington, beginning Monday, Febru
ary 10, mail for Yankee and Alice will
90 by the way of Dumont, aud the ser
vice from this city will be discontinued
HE new contract has been awardtd to
Alexander Cooper at $500 per year, and
the new road built last year by popular
description and state appropriation,
viii be used, The mileage from Du-
mont to Yankee by the new road is about
eight miles.
As soon as the announcement Of the
change had been made, the people Of
AIce and Yankee made vigorous protest
against it, alleging that they did not de.
sire the change aud bad not been con-
ited in regard to it. Those residing
on fall river and adjacent to the present
route Of the mail aud stage line, ilncd
in condemning the change, and a pro-
test will lie sent to Washington. The
present route now serves twenty, six
rural mail boxes representing about 100
people, and during the summer months
this number is increased by at least a
third, all of whom will be deprived Of
mail service by the change. 1t is as sscrt-
ed that with three or four exceptions,
every resident of Alice and Yankee, as
well as those residing along Fall river,
v i. sign petition to have the order
revoked and the service resumed from
Ilaho Springs.
In addition to the argument made that
many citizens will be deprived of daily
mail service and none benc fitted, the
statement is made that the new Dumont.
Yankee road is practically impossible for
many months of the year, and that al
the present time it is impossible for a
man to pass over it horseback owing TO
the numerous snow blockades. On the
contrary, those at interest say the road
now being used is open at all times Of the
year and the mails 60 back and forth
daily without hindrance.
Naturally, Idaho Springs loses by the
change, for the people Of this city, Alice
and Yankee have for years enjoyed the
closest pleasant relationship made pos
sible by the daily mail and stage line,
and to the thought of interrupting this
the people do not take kindly.

Don't Want Hell.

Mrs Justins Wlllim ina He'll filed suit
against her husband, Julius He'll, in the
Denver district court on Wednesday of
this week. The complaint alleges that
the couple we're married in Georgetown
on Jan. 6, 1908, and it may or NAV not
have been the name, but few days
after their marriage her husband refused
to provide for her. and since that time
has not contributed to her support. upon
which grouuds the divorce is asked.
The defendant, Julius He'll, lives in a
cabin near the Humboldt mine on Ute
creek, and was one of the pioneer pros
pectors of that section and George
town IN the '7os He came to this
country mediately after the close of the
Franco Prussian war, in which engage
ment he served with distinction in the
German army. For exceptional brav-
cry he was awarded the Iron Cross and
wears the medal attached to his watch
chain. Less than 5000 of these coveted
medals were distributed in the vast army
of German soldiers and Mr.. He'll prizes
the honor highly, although it is difficult
to get him to tell the story of how he
won the distinction. Some years ago
Mr. He'll. discovered a rich ore shoot in
Silver Ring mine in Eclipse gulch, from
which he took out over $40, 900 IN a
little over q years time, but the money
however, lasted about as long IS snow
