combating the cast iron covering neither
lead nor cables will be exposed to their
ravages. The new work will, of course,
require great expenditure, and the ques-
ton arises upon whom it will fall The
administration of posts and telegraphs will
no doubt, endeavor TO impose it on the
uamway company, declared by divers eX-
pert opinions to be the author of all the
trouble But the latter administration as
serts anterior rights. in view Of its in
stallation having been made prior TO that

the postal administration should, at the
beginning, have adopted the precautions
which they have deferred until now. In
the end the difhcult question of the re-
spective shares of the cost to be borne by

doubt, be determined by process OF law
before the council of the prefecture Of

Locomotive Firemen Losing Places.
1HE steady advance of electricity
as a motive power at railroad
~ terminals seriously involves the
IfHSNN positions of locomotive fremen.
Sa@S Usually the locomotive engineer
shifts from one job TO another, but every
change from steam to electricity aboltshes
the hreman's job. Dispatches from New
York regarding negotiations between the
railroads and employees for better pay give
expression to this prospect. Some Of the
leaders fear that the days OF the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Ffremen are NUM-

that there have been several important
strikes in the vicinity Of the Lead King
during the past few days. His son,
Francis Brim and Joe Oldfeid he said,
had encountered a fine body Of lead in
the workings Of the Last Chance mine,
and would probably form a company to
take hold Of The development Of the
mine and the adjoining group Of claims.
He said that the Ely-Duck Creek
company had struck a three foot vein
Of lead ore running from Is to 30 per
cent in the metal, and two foot vein
of ore carrying b per cent zinc.
The Last Chance is about one and a
half miles south Of the Lead King and
the holdings Of the Ely-Duck Creek
compony about the same distance north.
Mr.. Brim said that development work
now in progress shows that the lead
ore body extends throughout this area
of three miles.

AFTER TAYLOR's
OLD SILVER Mines

J. Il. Pearce, q Denver capitalist,
accompanied by VIII Stewart, spent
Tuesday and Wednesday at Taylor,
going through the old workings Of the
Argus and Monitor silver mines which
were shut down when the price of the
white metal fell. Mr., Pearce came
here with the intention of gaining con-
troll of the old properties and resuming
work upon them. He was able to Sc
cure the interest Of Sol Hip, but found
that the other owners Of the mines
had bonded the controlling interest to
eastern capitalists.
The Taylor mines are dry and the
ladders and timbcrs in the workings
are still in almost as good condition as
when the properties were shut down a
generation ago.
Mr., Stewart played in The streets Of
Taylor when he was little boy and
his recent trip was the first time he
had returned to the old place in eigh-
teen years. He said that some OF the
old warehouses are slill standing, but
that The old town has almost dijap-
peared.

were forced to content themselves with
"outside" claims, have returned to Ely
during the past few days with fine
samples Of ore taken from their loca-
