GunneIl Pumpina Water.

Water is being pumped out of the
Gunnell workings at the rate of 200
gallons minute or 90, 900 gallons every
shift of eight hours and there are three
shifts working every day or "a hours,
making in all 2SS,O00 gallons. This is
really little river and it is estimated
that it will take from four to six
months to finish the unwatering of the
big mine. The water is now down to
the 700-foot level and the mine is 1900
feet deep, but down to the 10OO-foot
level the workings of the mine are i'm
mense, there being miles and miles of
levels and slopes that are completely
filled with water. This mine also
drains the Grand Army, Concrete and
numerous other properties in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the Gunnell mine.
A number of miners and timbermen are
working steadily keeping the levels
clear of debris and retimbering the
shaft where necessary. When the
water goes down to the 1000-foot level,
the levels will be opened up with large
force of miners.

GrOcers and Butchers Defeat Farmers.

A bunch of ruralites from the section
of Guy hill, claiming to have the play
ers, material and experience of base
ball nine, strolled into the city Sunday
morning and crossed bats with picked
nine composed of the butchers and gro
GERS of this city. 1t is rather difficult
to designate what was played but moth
ing transpired during the two hours
that the park was occupied which in
any way resembled ball game. The
only thing about the visitors that bor-
dered on correctness was the name they
carried-"Guy Hill Farmers This
was indeed appropriate. Although the
affair was not interesting it was anus
ing to the highest degree and the spec
tators were in an uproar of laughter all
the time. When the grocers and but
chers and farmers got through tearing
up the ball park the score stood 25 to 5,
with the farmers on the short end. A
challenge was issued to the home boys
by the ruralites for return game for a
side bet of $500, to be played at the
Guy hill grounds some Sunday after the
Fourth. The grocers think they will
accept the challenge, feeling that there
is some easy money in sight.

Good Values in Eureka Mine.

Shipments from the different sections
of the Eureka mine, situated in Prosser
gulch are being made this week and the
returns are expected to come up with
the usual run of the ore that is shipped
from this mine every month or so.
Drifting is being done in the 200-foot
level mostly for development and les
sees are working in the 800, 400 and
500 foot levels. Returns from the 400
foot level for the last shipment ran
three ounces gold to the cord for the
milling ore and for the smelling iron
ore shipped the values were, 3.17 OF.
gold, 13 OF. silver and IA per cent lead
to the ton. In the 3OO-foot level the
milling ore ran three ounces to the cord,
while in the 50O-foot level the milling
ore ran one and one-half ounces to the
cord. All these values are good for
expenses and nice little profit above
wages for the miners. The streaks
vary in width with the different ores,
some of the milling ore being from four
to five feet wide and the smelling ore
not being found in as large quantities.

Lecture on Prison Work.

R. A. Hoffman, field secretary of the
Colorado Prison association, residing in
Pueblo, was in the city this week. Sum
day morning and evening he delivered
addresses at the M. E. church, touching
upon the work of the organization he
represented. His talk was of intense
interest to his hearers as it informed
them of a movement which had been
inaugurated in this state to assist Grim
inals in leading better lives after serv-
ing their terms of Imprisonment. While
all were aware of the existence of this
association few were thoroughly famil-
lar with its purposes and what had been
accomplished amongst fallen humanity
during the few years of it's existence.
Mr.. Hoffman spoke mainly on "The
Prevention and Cure of Crime"
In looking after convict during his
imprisonment and providing employ
ment for him after his release, the
Prison association adheres to the theory
that "to save is cheaper than to pun
ish. " To prosecute a criminal, accord
ing to the Prison association, costs on
an average of 81, 200; his depredations
cost 81, 800 and upward annually. The
association claims it has demonstrated
that worthy ex-prisoner can be saved
from relapsing into crime for $500.
The Colorado Prison association report
shows that during the year 1906, 154
persons or families of poisoners had
been rendered aid. The association is
maintained and the work carried on
through contributions given by resi-
dents of the state.

0 Be Careful Shows Up Well.

The Manhattan Pool Co., of which ].
H. Frank Smokey is at the head, has
been operating the o Be Careful mine
on Academy hill the past few months
under the able management of James
E. Rule of Nevadaville, and the prop
erty is now beginning to show the 1e-
suits of good management. There is a
small shaft house over the mine and
the mineral is being hoisted by means
of whim. A nice streak of milling
ore has been found in the 15O-foot level,
this being the bottom of the mine, and
is beginning to show up very good.
This is in the breast of the west level
where they are drifting. For some
time this ore has been followed and
now has become more solid and of a
better grade A lot of this ore has
been taken out and is awaiting treat
ment, which will be received soon, as a
shipment will be made this week. From
the assays taken of the same it is ex-
pected that the ore will run at least
three ounces to the cord if not better.
The ore is to be shipped to the Buell.
mill. Later plant of machinery is to
be installed at this mine and much de-
velopment work done, and from the
looks of the mine at the present time
it will pay handsomely to do this.

OF Course, Central Wins,

Sunday the Stockyards team of Den
yer came up to cross bats with the
strong Central City team and met the
inevitable defeat experienced by the
city mines that come up here to play the
mountaineers. At the beginning it
looked as though the home boys would
be given tight run for honors as the
Denver team started out strong, but be-
fore the second inning was finished the
visitors became excited and went all to
pieces, permitting the Centrals. to make
seven runs. After the second inning it
seemed impossible for the Stockyards
to collect themselves and the local team
had no trouble making from two to five
scores every inning thereafter. Good
batting was done by both teams and the
work of the Central boys was unusually
good. Good headwork was used by the
Centrals which the visitors seemed to
lack. The new grand stand, although
not entirely completed, was in shape
that it could be occupied and the fans
showed their appreciation of the clean
and airy structure by filling every avail
able seat. The attendance at Sunday s
game was the best of the season thus
far. Next Sunday the Colo. l. W., one
of the leading teams of Denver, will
play here and doubtless will receive the
same trimming up at the hands of the
Central City Boosters that the teams
which preceded them have received.

with members of the Swiss diet. They
are rewarded with 16, shillings day.
on condition that they do not absent
themselves from work
To go fulther east, we find that
Roumania thinks her lawmakers
worth one pound sterling day. Six
teen shillings day is the salary Of
those who compose the Bulgarian Sob
ranje, but members who live in the
capital get 12 shillings daily
Denmark is about the stingjest OF
all European countries, so far as re-
munerating her lawmakers is con-.
cerned. Danish members of parlia-
ment get but six shillings eight
pence a day; but, on the other hand,
they have the odd privilege of a free
seat in the Royal theater at Copen-
hagen.
While the members of the German
reichstag are not salaried, yet the
lawmakers of the various German
states do not work for nothi'.g. Sake
Coburg members of parliament are
paid 13 shillings, Of Bavaria ten, and
of Hesse nine.
At first sight Hungary seems to do
her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for
her members get e2OO year in cash.
But they are not so badly off, after
all, for a liberal allowance is made
into the bargain for house rent. Aus
tria-Hungarys two legislative assem-
blies cost the country about 916O,OOO
year in all. Both the Austrian and
Hungarian Legislators can travel first
class with second-class ti,kets.
Besides the United Kingdom, Italy
and Spain are the only countries
which pay nothing to their members
of parliament. Nevertheless, the cost
of the Italian parliament is estimated
at 9S5,000 year.
In Portugal, also, the state ,.oes not
remunerate legislators, but they re.
ceive free railway passes, and their
constituencies are legally permitted
to pay those who represent them a
sum of about Is shillings for each
day of the session.
