Denver.-A Republican special from
Hot Sulphur Springs says Shortly af-
ter noon, Wednesday, while Agent Sea-
man was absent from the Moffat road
depot, two men broke into the ticket
Office by boring holes around window
lock and removing it. They then raised
the window, entered the office, broke
open the cash drawer and took S53.
Sheriff Jones was notified shortly af-
ter the burglary was discovered and
has had posse after the thieves. They
were trailed into the thick timber about
two miles from town. where the trai
was lost. One of the men is said to
be tramp printer named Phillips.
The other is unknown, having come

concuering SaIton Sea.

Los Angeles, Calm ten days, ac-
cording to official estimates by the
Southern Pacific company, the work
of diverting the Colorado river back to
it's old course will be finished apd the
beginning of the end of the Saltop
"sea" will be an assured fact. The
company has three steam shovels at
work at the quarry and will transport
the rock to the river at a trest;e just
completed on eighty cars. The COM
pany officials have not the slightest
doubt as to the success of the scheme
and say 1t will be worth all the money
spent on 1t. a figure now totaling
close to q million dollars.

Libel Suit in Ireland.

Dublin-Richard Croker Wednesday
formally inaugurated the libel suit
which will bring to definite issue
the question whether he used his posi-
tion as chief Of Tammany hall for pur-
poses of financial profit. The suit is
against the London Magazine, which
published in its current number a
scathing article against the growth
of so-called "Tammanyism" In Eng
land, incidentally detailing in alleged
chapters from New York the opera
tions of Tweed and Croker. The lat
ter's affidavit makes a sweeping denial
of any wrongdoing while head of Tam
many hall, and especially denies using
the organization for purposes of ex-
tortion or personal profit.
The case will be tried before an Irish
jury and it is sure to attract much at
tention.

BY CONTRACTORS
GOVERNMENT WILL LET OUT
PANAMA CANAL WORK.
CHINESE MAY BE EMPLOYED
Commission Finally Decides On Con-
tract System-President Still In
tends to Visit Isthmus.

Washington.-It has finally been de-
cided that the Panama canal will be
completed by contract. In few days
the commission will make public a
statement setting forth its reasons for
favoring the contract system, and at
that time form of contract will also
probably be published showing ex-
actly the sort of document believed by
the commissioners 20 be necessary for
safeguarding the work.
President Roosevelt is known to
support the commission in its position
that the work can be done more salts
factoIily by contra ctors than by the
government. He had a long confer
ence with Chairman Shonts to-day on
the subject, and thu various arguments
m favor of the contract system were
discussed fully.
This chanage In building the canal
will in no way affect the employment
of Chinese labor. Proposals for fur
nishing the Chinese labor were made
under such conditions that they can
be transferred to contractors and the
terms can be fulfilled in such man
ner that the government can give the
coolies just as much protection as it
could if the government were the di-
rect employer.
1t is likely that no disposition will
be made in the bids for supplying Chi
nese labor until after the return Of Sec
retary Taft from Cuba. as he assisted
in drawing the specifications under
which proposals were offered and Is
much interested in the conditions un-
der which the Chinese are to be taken
to the isthmus.
President Roosevelt still intends to
visit the isthmus this fall, and, unless
there be change for the worse in the
Cuban situation. will probably leave
for Colon a short time after election.

smelter Company is to Boost the State
and Boom Zinc Mininl

and Boom Zinc Mining
Zinc mining in Colorado will be sent
booming by the recent action Of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, which will install a series OF
magnetic separating plants and double
the capacity Immediately of its zinc
plant in Pueblo in this state. The
cost of these various improvements
will be enormous and will be an under
taking of a pioneer nature, nothing OF
the kind on such a huge scale hav-
ing ever been attempted before in the
United States.
The zinc ores of Colorado were
formerly shipped abroad to be treated.
They came principally from Leadville
and the San Juan country, and 1t is
only recently that the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company decided to
treat these ores in Colorado. The COM
pany has been working in small way
for two or three years to perfect a
system for treating these ores. The
result has been that they have been
buying a great deal of zinc ore in this
state and have raised the price to the
producer of this mineral about Sc a
ton. Although the cost of labor in Colo
rado is three times as great as in
Europe, the operation of the zinc plant
in Pueblo, incorporated as the United
States Zinc Company and originated
by the Guggenheims, has sent up the
price of these ores and stimulated
their production to what promises to
be a magnificent scale.
Eight times as many men are
required to handle zinc ores as is
necessary to properly treat the same
tonnage where zinc is not present. The
action of the company was recently
taken by its board of directors who
have under way plans for the greater
development of the zinc industry of
Colorado. 1t is probable that a zinc
smelter will be established in Denver
to encourage the production of the
northern Clear Creek district ores,
which. with the increased price of
zinc. can be successfully handled.
1t is said that the increased market
for zinc ores will stimulate activity
in a score of mining camps in the
state and have an immediate effect
upon employment of labor. The COM
pany is satisfied that the ores in
Leadville, the San Juan country and
various other sections of Colorado are
so valuable for their zinc contents
that what was formerly such low
grade ore that it could not be treated
with profit to the miner will now be
produced in abundance to the benefit
of all concerned. The innovation on
the part of the smelter company means
more for Colorado than any action that
has been taken in the development of
its mining industry for many years. A
vast sum of money will be spent in
the development Of the zinc industry
and Colorado will become the central
supply point Of the world for this metal

Railway Equipment Company.

Chicago.-Plans are on foot for the
organization of gigantic railway
equipment company, the object OF
which will be to take the place of pri-
vate car companies in furnishing re-
frigerator, live stock and other special
kinds of cars to the railways at the
seasons during which they are re-
quired by the different lines. 1t is
proposed to capitalize the projected
company at s100,000.000. 1t will not
be private. but strictly railway en-
terprise, the stock of the corporation
being held by the various railway
companies and the profits pro rated
among them. The plan is expected to
be in working order within three
months.
