Wild Beasts Of India.

A statistical paper on India. late
ly published in London, makes the
statement that in 1904 the total num-
ber Of persons killed by wild beasts
In India was 24.O34, of whom nearly
$4,000 fell victims to snakes. Tigers
killed nearly 800, and leopards nearly
400. On the other side of the ac.
count are $1,000 snakes killed, and
10000 other wild animals.
To many persons it may seem
strange that country so old as In
dia should still harbor SO many wild
beasts, and that they should be per-
mitted to commit such depredations.
says the Youths Companion. 1t must
be remembered that the country is of
vast extent, much of 1t still covered
with dense jungle; and that religious
scruples prevent many of the inhab-
4tants from taking the life of any ami
NAL. hence general measures of exter.
minaton receive little native support.

Street Car Riot In Canada.

Hamilton, Ont.-Never in Hamil-

cars were running at intervals under
heavy guards, but they did not carry
passengers, and continued to be the
targets for fusillades of stones and
bricks from side streets and alleyways.
Drastic as were the measures taken by
the authorities, 1t was plain that the
mob spirit had not been broken.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Phenomenal Iron Strike.

What is expected to result in one OF
the richest strikes in years was made
by the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
at Fierro, N. M, the report of which
has recently been received at the gen.
eral offices in Denver. In the iron
mine at Fierro approximately 100000
tons OF iron have been discovered and
the engineers on the works believe that
much more Of the ore will be found on
further working the present vein. Ac-
cording to Attorney Cass Harrington,
the company has been working the
iron mine for ten years, tunneling
higher up in the mountain. On driving
several tunnels lower down on the hill,
veritable mountain of iron was found.
According to the officials of the COM
pany, the strike, If it pans out as 'ex-
pected, will do away with any possibil-
ity Of an iron famine, such as afflicted
the company last winter, when 1t was
compelled to purchase iron ore for its
plants from the Lake Superior, Wis
consin and Michigan districts, and haul
it to Colorado. The earnings of the
compeny were cut down considerably
anu consequent ulSdppTOfdl u inc
measure followed. Now there is little
or no anxiety Of similar occurrence
this year, according to the officials, as
all the iron that can be used by the
immense steel plants of the C. F. & I.
can be mined at Fierro.
The ore of the Fierro mine is OF what
Is known as the "Bessemer" quality
1t is of pure quality and high grade
and contains little sulphur or other de-
letericus substances. The impure ore
Is used in the open hearth furnaces,
while the Fierro ore is burned In the
Bessemer furnaces at the great Pueblo
Bessemer plant Of the company.
A scarcity of this class of iron ore
would necessarily mean a shutting
down of the immense plant and hun
dreds of men would be thrown out of
work. This is what was threatened
last winter by the temporary iron
famine.
Other mines of the C. F. & 1. are pro-
ducing well, and even some of those
which have been shut down for some
time are either being worked at
profit by the company or under lease.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
regard the iron outlook in Colo. ado
brighter than it has been for years.

Two Fisheries Questions.

Two important fisheries questions
affecting America are under consider
alton. One is the problem of stop
ping pelagic sealing, that is. the shoot.
ing of the migrating seals at sea, and
the indiscriminate destruction of fe-
males. II the Canadians agree TO
stop the practice, 1t is probable that
Japan will come into the agreement
says the Youths Companion. The
other problem concerns the use Of
purse seines by Americans on the New.
foundland herring-grounds. and is be-.
ing discussed by representatives OF
the British. American and Newfound-
land governments. Great Britain ad.
mits the Justice OF the colonial po.
sition that the use OF purse seines
threatens destruction of the fisheries,
but may under pressure OF the Amer.
lean interests conclude an agreement
over the heads Of the colonial com.
missioners.

Bright Future for Creede,

Among the many mining camps in
Colorado there is none with brighter
prospects for future growth and devel
opment than the Creede district, says
the Pueblo Chieftain. Located in Min.
eral county, In southern Colorado, its
climate Is such as to interfere but lit
tie with work during the winter
months. This. therefore, has ten.
dency to make the miners contented.
and as a result there Is comparatively
little change in the working force In
the district.
But important as is the question OF
holding the men to their work, there
are other, more important, factors in
the outlook Of the camp. One of these
is the increased richness of the ore
secured from the lower leveels of the
mines. In the early history of the
camp. silver. lead and zinc ores pre-
dominated. but as development work
proceeded and the shafts and tunnels
were driven further into the noun
tains increasing gold values were Sc.
cured. In the first two years of the
camps history the gold production
amounted to less than $4,000. In 1901
1t amounted to s92.532. and last year
the gold produced in this camp
dihouutcu W ooJJ,lSU. Wnlle Otner
ores are produced in paying quantities
the output Of gold in ever increaSing
amount gives added assurance of the
camps continued prosperity.
The camps production this year will
approximate S2.750,OOO; this amount
being from producers that comprise
only very small portion of the min.
eral belt of this region. The camp is
located on three large fissure veins
about one-half mile apart. Prospects
opened beyond the present producers
and preliminary work done in this re-
gion gives every promise of the event
ual opening of properties the equal
OF any OF the producers during the
camps discovery. At present new
tunnel is being driven into Mammoth
mountain that will cut several rich
veins and add materially to the produc-
tion of the camp.
Though, as in all OF Colorado's min
ing camps. there is now a shortage of
men. the conditions at Creede are
such as to insure the retention of the
present force of mon in the camp.
Wages are satisfactory and with con-
tinuous work there will be little cause
for the men to leave the camp. In fact,
large part OF the men engaged in the
mines and mills own their own homes
and this will act as a potent force in
keeping them In Creede. Conditions
are most satisfactory TO the operators
and miners, and It will not be surpris.
Ing II the coming year surpasses all
others In the history of the camp.

MUST HOLD CUBA
NOT YET READY FOR sELF.oov-
ERNMENT.
so MANY OFFICERS THINK

Uncle Sans Soldiers Must Stay Until
Peace is Fully Assured-PoliticaI
Feeling Between Factions is Still
Dangerously Bitter.
Washington.-It is said here that
the United States is in Cuba to stay
for some years to come, and, perhaps,
for all time. How long the soldiers
stay, and how long the affairs of the
Cuban government are administered
by Americans, depends wholly on the
Cubans. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon are
declared to have come away from Ha-
vana thoroughly convinced that the
people Of the island, in their present
state of political development, were
incapable of governing themselves.
Before leaving Havana, Mr.. Taft told
the Cuban political leaders that our
troops would not be withdrawn, and
we would not leave the island to itself
again until confidence had been re-
stored and the affairs OF government
put on a stable, sound and permanent
basis.
Since it has been determined to re-
tain control of the island, every con-
sideration demands that the work Of
putting business on normal basis
should be undertaken at once. Dis
patches that have come from Havana
since Governor Magoon assumed con-
troll have not been reassuring in tone.
General Bells plan to give the
troops practice marches" through
the island, it is acknowledged, is moth
ing more than plan to impress upon
the Cubans the fact that the United
States is in armed control of their
country and will not permit another
outbreak Another reason for these
marches is to preserve the discipline
of the troops.
The peace that exists in Cuba to-day
is only on the surface, and every one
who has recently visited the island re-
alizes that if our soldiers were with
drawn now a condition Of anarchy
would follow. The feeling between the
defeated Moderates and the Liberals is
bitter to a degree. Recent cable dis
patches report harsh dissensions in the
Liberal party. The Cuban political
leaders that the Taft commission came
in contact with proved themselves
nothing more than grafters; shrewd
and keen hunters after political Office
and perquisites that accompany politi-
cal position in Latin-Amcrican coun-
tries.
The ignorant low-class Cuban is a
lovable fellow. Obcdient, pleasure-lov-
ing, polite, and hard working when he
must be, he is as clay in the hands or
the unscrupulous politicians who have
gained an asccndency in the island.
It is these men who have made Cuban
independence impossible.
When President Roosevelt returns
to Washington he and Secretary Taft
will go carefully over the entire situa-
ton and determine when the election
shall be held and what method shall
be taken to insure a continuation OF
peace and normal conditions in Cuba.
That this will mean the retention OF
troops and a certain number of civil
officers is now definitely known.

VAN wYks CONVICTED.
Found Guilty Of Numbering Mrs. Van
Wyk's Sister.

Denver.-A dispatch from Wray,
Colorado, November 23rd, says: After
deliberating for nearly twenty-four
hours. the jury In the case of Gerrit
Van Wyk and his wife, Wourtheje Van
Wyk, this morning at 1913 brought in
its verdict finding the two defendants
guilty Of the murder of Gerretje
Hast. The verdict read:
Guilty as to both, with penalty of
life imprisonment" Thus ends the
murder trial that has held the atten-
tion of the people of the state for sew
eral days.
For the first time since the begin
ming Of this remarkable trial the two
defendants showed more than a pass
ing interest in the proceedings in the
court room. Mrs. Van Wyk collapsed
when she heard the reading of the YER
dict and creid out continually that she
was innocent Of the killing Of her sis
ter, Miss Hast.
Il did not do it." she cried, "and 1
do not know who did 1t. What will
happen to my children and baby?" Van
Wyk himself did not give vent to any
spoken expression, but the lines of his
face were drawn and he was pale. AS
the jury left the court room, Van Wyk
turned to one OF them, Claude Terb-
bett, and said:
Shame. and you pretend to be an
honest man."
Isaac Pelton, attorney for the de-
fense, as soon as the verdict was an
nounced, asked for an arrest of SEN
tence and time in which to file a mo-
tion for a new trial. He was given f1f-
teen days in which to prepare his mo-
tion.-
The Van Wyks were charged with
the murder Of Gerretje Hast, the sis
ter Of Mrs. Van Wyk, December 9th
last. The dead body of the young
woman was found in her lonely cabin
on the plains, and the Van Wyks were
arrested and charged with the crime.
The testimony showed, among other
things. that the Van Wyks held an in
surance policy on the life of the Hast
girl for $4,000. This, the prosecution
said. furnished the motive for the
crime.

The Teaching Profession.

There was a time when the school.
masters profession was adopted by
many college graduates as pis aller,
or as temporary means of livelihood
before taking up some other kind OF
work. The qualities and the special
have given him much more indepen-
dent and even more honorable posi-
don than he formerly held. Conse-
quently, there have been an increased
esprit de corps. and greater zeal in
the profession. In his address before
the Middlesex Teachers association,
President Eliot spoke of the enthusi-
astic devotion for their calling and
preference for it above all others:
which are often demanded and which,
he might have added, are often found
among those who are engaged in the
work of education. For efficiency can
not be secured by high salaries and
pensions. Like the profession of arms,
that of teaching is one that is chosen
more often for glory than for gain,
but 1t is important that glory should
not have to be sought at the expense
OF ordinary comfort, says the New
York Post. I'm Harvard college,"
said DR.. Eliot, "the salaries are high.
er than in the teaching profession
generally, yet they are lower than can
be had by men of the right quality In
