Penalties of Prosperity,

After all is said it must be conceded
that the apparent disregard for human
life in the United States is largely a
tribute to progress and to the indus
tries that constitute prosperity. Even
fatal railroad accidents, the largest
item in the list. cannot be wholly
eliminated, though they can and ought
TO be greatly reduced in number. But,
says the Indianapolis News, railroad
accidents are only one item in the list
of annual fatalities. There are fatal
accidents in mining, building, manu-
Featuring and agriculture. They all
claim their victims as a sort of tribute
to progress, though very costly one.
Carefully compiled statistics show that
i'm the five great industries of railroad
ing, mining, building, manufacturing
hnd agriculture no less than 536,
persons are annually killed or injured
in the United States. This is at the
rate OF over one minute, and Il in
Eludes only few of the largest in
hustries.

TO CURB INSPECTORS.
House Passes Crumpacker Postal
Fraud Order Review Bill.

Washington.-The House Monday
passed a bill providing for judicial
review Of orders excluding persons
from the use of United States mail IA
cilities after debate lasting most Of
the day.
In presenting reasons why the bill
should be passed Mr.. Crumpacker Of
Indiana, It's author, said the power
given to the postmaster general under
the statutes to issue fraud orders was
not at all an administrative discretion.
It rather partook of the nature Of po-
lice power for the regulation Of the
morals Of the people of the country.
Mr.. Crumpacker contended that the
whole fraud order law was an unusual
proceeding, in that If 1t had been con-
fined to institutions and practices that
were essentially fraudulent or were in.
herently bad and criminal, such as
green goods concerns, lotteries and
the like, as originally contemplated by
Congress, there would be no complaint
against It.
Mr.. Mann Of Illinois read from sew.
eral advertisements which he said
seemed to show that concerns were
still doing business that ought to come
within the scope of fraud orders. He
said the bill was defective and that
there should be no letting down OF tho
bars to permit doubtful concerns to
fleece the public.

citation in Colorado will hold their an.
nual convention at Canon City, Janu-
ary Gath to 9th, and the associations
all over the state are making prepar-
atlons for sending delegates to the
convention.
The year 1906 has been one OF un-
exampled progress and prosperity for
Y. NJ. G. A. work throughout the state.
Value OF association property has more

The railroads have granted a rate OF
one and one-fifth fare for the conven.
ton, and the people of Canon City will
entertain large number of the dele
gates. The convention will be open,
not only to members Of the associa-
tons, but to Christian men all over the
state. A remarkable list Of speakers

Big Smelling Dividend.

II is stated at Boston that the next
dividend Of the American Smeltipg
and Refining Company, to be declared
at the dividend meeting in March, will

stead of the present seven per cent.
The company's earnings on the pres.

Few Americans received more
notable marks of respect during their
lifetime than John Hay received dur.
tng his, and none has ever been the
Subject of more interesting or more
Unusual honor after death than that
which has just been paid to his mem
DRY in Philadelphia. In the presence
of Secretary Root, Mr.. Hays sue
fessor, the congregation of Keneseth
Israel dedicated the new stained-giass
window in its synagogue, placed there
in memory of Mr.. Hay. No other in
stance is known in which a Gentle

synagogue; but Mr.. Hays services on

elimination against Jews in this coun-
try, endeared him to the whole race.
The memorial window is an express

How deep in the bowels of the earth
must one go to avoid trespassing upor
another's property? That is a ques-
tion which an energetic Jerseyman
proposes to solve. This gentleman
owns land near the terminus of one
of the tunnels being constructed under
the Hudson river, and despite the dis.
claimer Of the tunnel company sus.
poets that the bore penetrates his
ground. To settle the matter he in
tends to sink artesian wells on his
premises. He may strike water or he
riay strike the tunnel. In the latter
case he thinks he will have a case
against the tunnel company. And the
latter is of the opinion that there are
other bores than those connecting

Memorial Building at Arlington.


One of the kindly suggestions in
President Roosevelts annual message
Is that there be constructed at Airing.
ton a memorial amphitheater, an esti-
mate for the preliminary work on
which Is contained in the report of
the secretary of war. The Grand
Army of the Republic in its annual
national encampment has recommend
ed such structure as necessary for
the appropriate observance of Me-
mortal Day and as fitting monument
to the soldier and sailor dead buried
in the beautiful cemetery, and the
president heartily concurs in the prop
osition. The old soldiers are getting
fewer and feebler, and when they take
part in the Memorial Day exercises.
says the Troy Times, it is right that
they should be made as comfortable
as possible. That is part of the idea
of erecting such an amphitheater. The
structure would be still more i'm
pressive as honoring the dead at Ar
lington. And it would most aptly
symbolic the reunited nation. Ar
lington itself was formerly the home
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the knightly
confederate commander, and in its
soil rest not only thousands of union
dead but many who wore the gray and
who afterward served their country
when the call came and was respond

mortal should be erected as aoon as
possible.

coIorado's Zinc Production.

The Colorado zinc output Of over
five millions for the year just closed.
and total production Of over twonty
millions during the last six years,
makes a splendid showing for the
states newest metal industry These
values are taken from rock which only
a decade ago were comparatively
worthless, and previously when the
zinc values exceeded ten per cent. in
ores carrying precious metal values a
penalty was charged at the smelters.
The demand, output and price is
steadily increasing and the industry is
growing in importance. improvements
In the metallurgy of zinc are advanc-
Ing, and changes are often made in the
several plants over the state, with
more separators in use at many mines
having ore carrying low percentage
Of zinc the annual output would be
greatly increased.
Larger capacity has been strictly in
order during the year in the several
plants scattered over the state. The
Colorado Zinc Mill, located at Virginia
avenue. near Broadway, this city, are
doubling their capacity and will con-
centrate from seventy-five to one hun
dred tons every twenty-four hours.
The Canon City plant of the Empire
Zinc Company practically doubled its
magnetic Wetherell machinery, and at
present has a capacity of $50 tons per
day. new testing plant for low grade
has been installed during the year.
This is an important addition, for
every miner should know the proper
process before any new separators or
concentrators are put in at a mine.
A new fifty-ton concentrator at Ko-
komo has lately been erected, also the
thirty-ton plant at Leadville.
The Sunnyside and Mogul mines at
Silverton have put in Blake separators
during the year to handle their zinc
material.
The capacity of the United States
Zinc Smelter Company's plant at Pu-
eblo will be doubled and extensive i'm
provements are in progress. This Is
one OF the properties of the American
Smelling and Refining Company. The
town of Blende has grown up in the
vicinity of the smelter, and there is a
probability that the Pueblo Traction
Company will extend its electric line
to that place. The present capacity of
this zinc smelter is 1,SO0 tons of ore,
making 600 tons of spelter per month,
but the new improvements when COM
pleted will give them a 1000 ton ca
pacity, with a production of 1000 to
1900 tons of spelter monthly
High prices have stimulated active
zinc mining during the year. and a
larger tonnage has been produced of
an average grade of twenty-seven per
cent. The mills have had as much as
they could handle, and all reduction
plants have been running full blast
