yapaness Fast, in colors.

The Japanese dress very quietly, even more so than Ameicans. The babies are decked out in very gay col ors. contrasts of purple. yellow. red. etc. The children wear mostly bis patterns of "kasuri." This is the name for the large patterns of squares. blocks. lines. etc. which are mostly white patterns on blue ground. Blue is favorite color in Japan. prob ably more 50 than any other single color. varying from indigo to very dark blue. The older they get the more soberly they dress. and the men wear no loud colors. Black may be said to be the national color in cloth. and the clothing mostly used is very narrow striped gray and black. The younger girls affect gay colors, and on holidays that is true of large DOT ton of the people. but ordinarily the "daimio jlma" Is the national costume. The namc "daimio jima." which means "daimio stripes" Is said to have been derived from the fact that anciently 1t was the distinctive dress of the daimIos. Next to the stripes, small white dots on . blue ground are in most common use.

MAYOR WILL OPPOSE IT
Not in Favor of Act 10 Create As- sislant Prosecuting Attorney.

The legislation to create new office in Waterbury. that of assistant prosecuting attorney in the city court, will. 1t Is said. be actively opposed by Mayor Thoms, not on financial grounds, but that the work of prose- cutting attorney can be done by one lawyer and that there are enough offices in Waterbury at present, par ticularly offices held by republicans. The new office, if created, would carry salary of $1,OOO, and the mayor does not think there is work sufficient to establish an auxiliary office to the prosecuting attorney snip.
 Twenty-two years ago. when Judge Burpee was prosecuting attorney in the police court, as 1t was then called, his salary was $500 a year and tees which including both amounted to about $1,400. The late Earle Smith, who was quite active in public Efe at that time and was always opposed to the fee system of paying public officials, started an agitation to put the prosecuting officer on salary. He spoke to Attorney Burpee about 1t and on his recommendation the prosecutor, who was himself, was put on salary of $1,500. The work of the office has about doubled since then, and it is now maintained that If $1,500 a year was sufficient salary then, doube that amount ought to be paid now because there is double the work of that time to do. Mayor Thoms does not dispute this argu- ment. 1t is said. He is opposed to the idea of creating another office on the grounds that there Is no just req son for so doing.

This phrase originated with . poor slave. It was prophesied of king. and the prophecy was fulfilled. When Ancaeus was king of Samos in the Grecian archipelago. he planted an ex- tensive vineyard. and oppressed his slaves so heavily in It's cultivation that one of the bolder ones prophesied that he would never live to taste any of the wine.
 The king laughed and had the slave beaten Then at last when the wine was made he sent for the slave to wit ness him drink ihe first glass in order to show him that the prophecy was false When the servant appeared. the king. raising the glass of liquor, said: What do you think of your prophecy now" There is many a slip 'twixt cup and lip.- ~as the an- sver. The words we're scarcely ut tered when Anczers ves informed that a wild boar had broken into the vineyard and vas running t. Drop ping the wire untasted. the king has tened 10 the scene to drive out the boar. but he vas killed Ia the encoun- ter. and the slaves prophecy vas ful- fllec--The Sunday Magazine.

TALK TO SOCIALISTS.
President of, Stanford University on
 the Japanese Situation.

San Francisco Jan 14.-"No con gross could pass Japaneses excllI- sion act and no president would sign one. because it would be a hoodluln act" said David Starr Jordan. president of the Stamford university, last night in addressing a meeting of socialists.
 Dr Jordan quoted President Roose- welt in saying that as a general rule 'ft paid for nation to be gentle man" and he was of the opinion that the remedy of the immigration tron- bles did not lie in lawlessness nor yet in mass meetings denouncing the Japanese as nation," because they did not go to the same Sunday school we attended"
 Tt is all nonsense" he said, "that we have to fight with Japan to see who shall have the mastery of the Pacific"
 He said he believed Japan was sin cere in it's desire to stem the un- skilled labor immigration to this country.

KING BEE GOLD N. 8 N. CO.
GETTING READY FOR DEVELOPMENT

Perhaps the most extensive opera
tions under way in Gilpin county are be-
ing formulated and put into execution
by the King Bee Gold Mining & Milling
company, which has secured possession
of number of the best claims in the
district. These are mostly located on
Pewahic mountain in Russell district,
in the heart Of the gold belt. Several
buildings have been put up and others
are in the course of construction. A
16x20 engine house is being placed on
the Waterloo lode, which is situated
near the Pewabic mine, and this will
he used temporarily while the shaft is
being sunk several hundred feet, after
which larger holster will be installed
and an addition to the engine house will
be made.
At the Iron Duke large shaft house
has been built and everything is now
in readiness to install the machinery,
which is expected to arrive at any time.
Besides the hosting equipment, con-
sisting of engines and boilers, a large
Blaisdel 12x12 air compressor will be
placed. This compressor will be run by
electricity, SO h. p. motor being put
in to furnish the power. From this
compressor pipe lines will be run to the
various other mines of the company s
holdings and power furnished to run the
machine drills which will be used in de-
veloping the different properties.
At the Clifton Bell mine there was a
good shaft house and machinery stand
ing when the company took hold, and
as this has been repaired and added to,
makes very creditable showing. Here
active mining has already been started,
the work of sinking the shaft and run
ming cross-cuts to the other veins known
to exist on the King Bee company's s
ground having commenced. The shaft
is now 260 feet deep, but several lifts
will be made before much more work
is started. However, three cross-cuts

Writes About 6ilpin Countq.

Gen. Frank Hall, mining editor of the
Denver Post, in an article preceding an
interview with H. C. Eastman Satur-
day, spoke very encouragingly of the
outlook for Gilpin County. Gen. Hall
at one time was engaged in newspaper
work in Central City and watches the
conditions and progress of the county
with interest. In his article he said:
Recent events have made it entirely
clear that the mining industry of Gilpin
county is at the outset of a new era.
At no time in the long history of that
section. which has aptly been termed
the Cradle of Colorado, since it was
there the industry had its actual begin
ming, have its material affairs been so
substantially founded as they are today.
After nearly fifty years of development
without pause that threatened cessa-
tion and also without in the last thirty
years any really great advance toward
big production, the yield being about
the same year after year-steady, of
course, but in no sense exciting things
are gradually nearing the point where
it is likely to progress on lines equal to
the best in the state. By this is meant
that ways are being opened whereby
the normal output of the ore will soon
be doubled.
again, the rapid extension of cleo
trio power and its recent supplement,
compressed air, as arranged for by Col.
A. G. Brownlee in the big plant he is
building on Clear creek, into the mining
section of Gilpin county will have de-
cided influence toward cheapening the
cost of producing ore. New capital is
finding many places for sound invest
ment in and around Central City, New
adaville, Russell Gulch and Black Hawk.
The situation is therefore Frightening
in all those sections. The present man.
ager Of the Newhouse is beginning to
feel that the great enterprise in his
charge that has SO long been conducted
at loss will soon derive revenue suf-
ficient to warrant the payment Of divi-
dends."
