The litigation winch has for some

adjusted and about the first of Feb
ruary the company Of Boston capi-
talIsts headed by F. Austin Wilson
will begin operations. Those close

pie and Sumner p. Smith.
the Camp Bird is one Of the most
promising prospects in the Rocky
mountains From a shaft l7O feet
deep, 600 tons of ore of high grade
has been taken from prospect drifts
Much of this was treated at the
companys mill just below Bower
man and in spite of the fact that the
old mill barely saved l5 per cent. of
the values, it paid expenses and re-
turned several gold bricks. Part of
the ore was shipped. The vein is
large and while surface ores are free
milling, the character is rapidly
changing to sulphides of still richer
quality.

Under the above caption thu
Moutrose Press says:
In 1908 water district No. 40
was created in the Maher county,
taken from the counties Of Delta,
Gunnison and Montrose. The
law specified that the expense Of
maintaining this district should
he borne equally by the three
counties. However, this has not
been done ia the past, but an ef-
fort will he made to have the ex-
pense shared by the three in the
future.
Up to the present time Mont
rose and Delta have maintained
the water commissioner, and only
recently was it discovered that
Gunnison county should pay its
share. Our er-watchiul board
then presented the matter to the
commissioners OF Gunnson coun-
ty, but they have refused abso-
lutely to settle for the past or bear
their share in the future.
The amount owing Montrnse
county is about Sl5OD and the
board has instructed County At
torney Catlin to enter suit against
Gunnison county for settlement
and an order forcing them to pay
their prop prtion in the future.
As it 10, the maintenance OF water
commissioners for the various dis
trlcts is quite heavy expense
and when "A county Is called upon
to pay that belonging to some
other county, the burden becomes
a heavy one.
The first part of the above is yer,
badly in error. The Monirnse com
missioners have never presented th'
demand to Gunnlson county for an
debt, either past or present. Th'
over watchful' board of Montros'
was asked through the clerk t.
adopt the same action GunnIsol
county has taken, in investigatin,
these bills before they were allowe'
wholesale. II seems that the waite
commissioners aud l3-count them |,
deputies apparently spent all of las
summer, nirht and day, looking
after the water in section of Delt
county.
Gunnison county is not denyin,
any Just account, but Messrs. Block
Collins and Custer, acting under tn
legal advice of County Attorney Q
T. Sapp, have concluded to let then
prove their bills and show what the
mean by charging this enormou
sum for looking after few dltche.
Outside the legal phases of tn
question-and we do not disput
the law-it hardly seems equitabl
that Gunnison county should b
obliged to pay close to $500 70
services, very little if any, of whic
was connected in the slightest de
gree with her territory For thes
alleged services, they brought in
bill Of near S3400.

TON AT VALENCIA IN.
vEsTiGATIoN.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. I. - AT yester-
days session of the investigationNin into
the loss of the Valencia, G. Allison Of
st. Paul, a passenger, testified that
the sea was not rough. He explained
that he had himself been a sailor, and
that the surf that finally battered.
the Valencia to pieces could not be
called high. This testimony caused
a mild sensation, as all published &C.
counts of the wreck have been de-
scribed as high seas" and a terrible
surf"
Every one seemed to shun u.s.
said Mr.. Allison; "all seemed to be
afraid to help. All those that sue
ceeded in. getting ashore Immediately
left the scene. The vessels at sea
stood off and made no attempt to
lower a boat. In the morning afteN
the last raft put off from the Valencia
there was no great sea running. Not
a wave had a comber on it."
Allison said that the hurricane deck
was rising and falling with every
wave that struck the ship. That
caused many of those on board to.
leave, thinking that she was about to
break up.
A. Willis, another passenger, testi-
fed that the first boat was not low

Prince Frederick, his eldest son, who
will be known as Frederick VIII. will
be proclaimed today.
Officially Announced.
The following official bulletin was
issued last evening:
Ellis majesty died at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon. After his majesty had
brought this mornings audience to a
conclusion he appeared to .be quite
well and proceeded to luncheon as
usual. Toward the end of the meal he
gave evidence Of in%disposition and
was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30
p. m. His majesty passed away
peacefully, the symptoms indicating
heart failure"
This bulletin tells. concisely the
story of the death scene, which found
every one, even those who realized
the increasing feebleness Of the king,
unprepared for the sudden shock.
Half of Europe Mourns.
The death of King Christian has
plunged half the courts of Europe
into mourning and brought a sense Of
personal loss as we'll as of sincere
grief to every one throughout the
kingdom of Denmark, even to the
humblest cottage 1t has cast a pail
over the palaces Of the monarchs of
Great Britain. Russia. Norway and
Greece.
Every nag in the city is at half
mast; all places of amusement are
closed, and the people walk the
streets as though they were passing
through the chamber Of death Itself.
Many Shed Tears.
Yesterday afternoon when the flag
flying " the palace was placed at
half-mast, the news spread from
mouth to mouth. It vas not believed
by the great crowds which gradually
assembled in the square in front of
the palace. but when uncertainty gave
place to certainty many in the assem-.
blage shed tears and all dispersed in
respectful silence, barring their heads
andasaluting the palace as they went
by. e
Nothing is definitely known con.
serning the arrangements for the
funeral, and it will, necessarily. be
some time before anything regarding
it is officially announced.

a gunshot wound accidentally inflicted
by his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Schrann
were out hunting rabbits with n

Schrann, who was wearing mittens.
Suddesly Mr.. Schrann sighted a rabbit
scurrying through the brush and urged
his wife to make haste and shoot it.
She endeavored to cock the gun, but
the mitten that she wore caused the
hammer to slip and the gun was pre-
maturely discharged. Mr.. Schrann
had t~boughtlessly stepped between his
wife and the rabbit. and he received
the discharge from the gun in his leg.
Mrs. Schrann hurried for assistance.
