Busy at Georgetown.

Georgetown, Colo.--The mining sit
uation in East and West Argentine
and the Peruvian districts is unusually
brisk, and many properties are beln
developed extensively. Scarcity of
men has greatly retarded work, but
with top wages being paid, a number
of miners from the lower end OF the
county are coming In and 1t is be-
lieved that within the next few days
the full quota OF worlmen will have
been secured. An operator from Mot.
nezuma spent few days In George
town endeavoring to secure men, and
offers of $3.50 day and board seemed
to have little effect. .
At the Sidney tunnel In East Argen-
tine another big strike was made. In
the west drift body Of sulphuret and
lead ore two to three feet wide has
been uncovered. It assays into the
thousands OF ounces In silver. This
drift has been extended forty feet and
Manager Sidney expects to start sto.

Debris stops Saratoga.

Idaho Springs. ColorThe raise from
the lateral to the Saratoga mine, three
miles in from the portal Of the New
house tunnel, which was connected a
week ago and became clogged after
several shifts. Is still in that condition,
although every effort has been made
to open the passageway.
Some of the timbers in the raise
have been loosened. but several blasts
of dynamite have failed to dislodge the
debris. A stream of water carrying
about 100 gallons a minute is still CON-
ing down the raise, making the work
more difficult. Candles could not be
used for light, and a string OF electric
globes was run up the raise, but al
though the wire was insulated the
lamps were short-circuited. A num-
ber of storage battery flashlights were
ordered from Denver for use in the
raise.
Attempts were made. but so far the
wOrkmen have been unable to effect a
connection. The men can get within
fifteen feet of the top of the raise, but
cannot get into the Saratoga mine
level above. on account of the air and
condition OF the lower workings of the
mine.
The work is dangerous. but the man.
agement is taking every precaution to
see that none OF the men is injured
should a cave-in occur.

Treasure In Old Dump.

Deadwood. 8. D.-Underneath the
recent announcement that s. T. Nc
Kinney. a mining man who has been
working over the old dumps around the
idle Golden Reward smelter in this city
has netted over $4,000 since the first
OF the year. lies an interesting story
which is vouched for by one OF the
pioneer mining men here. Something
like ten years ago. when the old Dead
wood & Delaware smelter passed into
the hands of the Golden Reward COM
pany, Of which 4. II. Hartman. the
New York railroad magnate. is the
head, SOW" OF matte which was val
ued at 10000 was taken out and put
on the dumps. Although the ID. & d..
people knew its value they figured that
1t was too heavy to carry of and that 1t
was perfectly safe, as no one out
side the company knew OF its value.
Later it was to be broken up and sent
TO refinery.
Slavonian workmen. not believing IT.
to be of value. soon after covered 1t
up with other Stag. and the SOW"
which Is matte run into a trough to
cool, was lost sight Of.
II is believed that this Is what Nc
Kinney found while cleaning up the
old dumps left by the ID. & ID. people
and that 1t furnished the start of his
large stake here.
By the installation OF a magnetic sep
arator. the Beaver Creek Mining Com
pauy hopes to save practically all the
values In the pay dirt It is handling
by the placer system. The company
recently put in large steam dredge
and extracts gold at cost of but 30
cents a ton. The lodges which are of
magnetic iron contain not only a high
per cent. OF gold. but sufficient iron to
make the loss In recovery heavy un-
less a separator is used. So far the
company has made a neat cleanup.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions Of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers Of the United States.

One of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. II during a
year each Of those farmers can be
saved $40 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, 1t means a saving OF
sSO.OOO,000 annually; but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation of the good roads
movement saves each farmer in tho
land from $50 to 800. Thus 1t can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds OF millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has be-
come SO recognized that wherever
there exists live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates OF road improvement, and
there is civic pride and friendly COM
petition in the matter Of having good
roads leading to the towns. The work
Of road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number OF state legislatures
have taken up the work and during
the next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the building and
maintenance Of public highways.

Alaska. Coal output.

The United States Geological Survey
reports that the total production Of
coal in Alaska in 1906 Vas 6.S41 short
tons, having q spot value Of 317 50. an
increase of 1.767 short tons In quantity
and S4.724 in valns over the ngunsa
for 1905, when the production amaunt'
cd to 3.774 tons. having . value Of
$13,25O.
Prior to 1905 the returns from the
producers Of Alaskan Goals were very
incomplete, but in that year the col.
lection of statistics on the subject was
undertaken by Alfred H. Brooks and
George C. Martin Of the surveys d.
vision of mineral resources OF Alaska,
and the returns obtained are believed
to be fairly complete. The production
for 1904 was reported as 694 tons, and
for 1908, TAT tons, but Mr.. Martin
states that in each Of these years the
total output was at least 1000 tons
and was probably between $500 and
5000 tons.
In view OF the quantity of fuel con-
sumed in Alaska and by steamers ply
ing between the territory and the ports
Of the Pacific states, the tardy develop
ment of the excellent coal beds in
Alaska Is somewhat remarkable. The
consumption of coal In the territory
appears to be about 100000 tons. COM
pared with which the local production
is insignificant.
A report on the coal fields Of Alaska,
prepared by Mr.. Martin, was pub
lished by the survey In Bulletin No.
314, and survey parties now in the
field are continuing investigations.
An advance chapter from Mineral
Resources Of the United States, Cal
endar Year 1906" on the production

board Music Both DID and New.

Arthur whiting Agreeably Performs krS-
board Music Both DID and New.
Arthur Whiting gave a most interesting
recital yesterday afternoon AT Mendelssohn
Hall. He played a programme Of clavier
music. old and new. using a grand piano
for the modern compositions and a harpsi-
chord for those written for that instrument.
His programme wa well arranged, placing
the harpsichord numbers in the middle so
that the hearers might benefit by two con-
trasts Of tone. the one from the powerful
piano Of to-day to its mild forerunner. and
the other in the order made by historical
progress. from the less TO the greater.
The piano pieces at the beginning Of the
list were Schumann's Novelette," in +
sharp minor and B~eethOven's sonata in r.
minor. opus ~. Then followed two pieces
by Rameau, three by Scarlatti and one Of
Bach's English suites, that in G. minor.
Returning to the piano Mr.. Whiting played
ChOpin's c sharp minor nOcturne and four
Of the shorter pieces OF Brahms.
As a harpsichord player Mr.. Whiting
proved TO be we'll equipped. The instru-
ment has been called -soulless. and in truth
its powers OF expression are not wide Yet
within its narrow limits it can sing with
much gentle nuance. Sebastian Bach
showed composers how to impart TO its
style a more fluent cantilena than il had
been supposed possible for it TO attain
and his son Emmanuel discloses what
wa doubtless the secret Of his style by
urging continual practise of the clavichOrd,
from which a larger variety Of tone could
be drawn.
The Clavichord was the elder Bach's fav-
orite instrument. and il was probably by
transferring to the harpischord some Of
the methods OF touch employed by him in
clavichord playing, and also some features
OF the manner Of writing, that he called forth
from h less expressive instrument of the
two new accents He believed IL to be pos
slble to play cantabile on the harpsichOrd
as well as ON the clavichord and ne wrote
accordingly. His son Emmanuel carried
this principle into the daily practice of
composition for instruments Of the clavier
family
Mr.. Whiting disclosed a pretty command
OF tone and nuanc on the old instrument
and he played the early music with excellent
effect. II was most interesting TO hear the
gavotte Of the Bach suite from a harpsi-
chord. for the brittle and sparkling sounds
OF the instrument gave II a peculi lar %piquancy
which could not be obtained from a piano
OF to-day. The old ~graces" of the harpai-
chord. too. came out with a propriety and a
quaint distinction which they quite lose
when played on the contemporaneous key
board.
Mr.. Writings good playing was not con-
fined wholly 70 the old works. FOR he deiv-
cred himself Of the Beethoven sonata in a
clean, digniied and reposeful style alto
gether in keeping with the music and far
away from any leaning Toward the self
Acknowledgement OF the mere virtuoaO.
IL II worthy OF note that the harpsichord
used yesterday Ia a newly built instrument,
made in this country.

CANDIDA. rs REVIVED BY day.

Indeed, after all the tumult and the shout

personally a certain WEAKNESS. He has

is an honorable exception. In this play
technical skill in building, zap subtle and
human situations wit, humOr, a power for
brilliant dialogue and above all an interest
in his characters for once greater than his
interest in the ideas Of q. B. 3. are combined
to produce a little masterpiece.
Mario BOrsa, the Italian, in his recent
boOk on the English stage calls il the best
English play OF the decade. And in some
measure surely his opinion ia justified.
Certainly il il the most real and human Of
Shaw's own plays. n al brilliant in COM
