THINKS" AND COMMENT

Business in mining stock Is keep
ing up remarkably well at the local
exchange. While there are no large
blocks changing hands. there is a
little doing every day.
One would naturally suppose that
the meets and bounds of mining
property on the Comstock were well
defined, and that there was no chance
for litigation in a district which has
been worked, turned over and work
ed again, then re-worked. Under
Virginia City is perfect honeycomb
timbered for depth of many hum
dred feet, and it would seem to be
impossible to trace any ledge for
971 feet on the surface of the
ground" But the Comstock Golden
Gate Mining company has COM
menced suit in the federal court
at Carson City against the Ophir and
Con. Virginia. two of the Oldest COM
panies on the lode, for $4 900, 900.
Railroads! Railroads! More rail-
roads and cheaper railroad rates are
the appealing cries going out from
numerous mining camps of the west.
says the Denver Mining Record. A
close investigation of prevailing con-
ditions proves that the demand is a
just one and the most casual observ-
er is easily convinced that with rail-
road facilities extended to the new
camps and more liberal rates granted
the older camps, the tonnage of ore
throughout the country would be
greatly increased and profits more
widely distributed.
There are today, in the states of
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming. Nevada,

California, Arizona and many others
mining camps with ore bodies of al
most incalculable extent, some re-
naming absolutely untouched and
others being extracted and shipped
at cost that all~but removes the
profit. The costly method of trans
porting ore by means of the jack
train and teams is not yet eliminated
though we may boast of our progress
and the adaptation of late-day i'm
proyements. Naturally, under the
circumstances, none but the highest
grade of ore can be handled, while
the low grade, which is usually
found in the largest quantities is per-
mitted to lay, it's wealth lost to the
good of the world.

TROUBLE WITH A CHECK.

The stamp put on checks by the 1o- cal banks, Payable only through the New York Clearing House." has large ly increased the number of visitors to the handsome marble building in Cedar street, which is the home of that institution It illustrates the diff faculties met by many people who for the first time, perhaps, are being paid in checks, instead of cash. One of these callers was woman, who ex- pressed a desire for the cash on $20 check. She was informed that they paid out no cash there, but that she had only to deposit the check in any bank of the city and it would be prop erly credited.
 She called on several banks with the check, but as she was a stranger she could not get recognition without an introduction. She thought it was very, strange that she was put to so much trouble to get little money. She finally told a stock brokerage friend of her predicament, and lie explained that the only thing for her to do was to open an account at some bank, with the check deposited to her cred-. 1t; that with such a keen demand for currency it was hardly to be expected that she could get the cash but that her money was perfectly safe in any bank
 Yesterday the broker received a let ter from small institution which said that the woman had called to' open an account, and they had ac-8 cepted the check subject to identif- cation. The broker was asked to con- firm the signature. III thus trying to get her rightful dues she had spent time worth perhaps a tenth the value of the check. New York Evening Post. -sss-,. F

To those of his friends to whom he talked to-day the President declared his conviction that his statement of last week would inevitably force a .line-up of the two elements in the Republican party-one, which sup ports his policies. behind Secretary Taft; the other, which opposes his poll ieies, behind some other candidate.
 He regards it as obvious to every intelligent observer that there is en- ergetic and possibly widespread oppo- sition to the policies for which he stands, and he feels that it must be equally obvious to the verlest tyro in politics that success is to be attained by those who stand for his policies only by their standing absolutely to- gether

FAIR HAVEN.

Two years ago the women's civil league to encourage home gardening among the pupils of Strong school offered prizes for the best cultivated gardens. The prizes have just been awarded for the season of 1907 as fol- lows; Genevieve Thompson. Strong school, No. 12, first prize, $1; Donald Rowe strong school No. 9, and Mar garet Graham, Woolsey school No. Il, each second prize of 50 cents.
 Exercises bearing on Whittier's cen tennial were held in room 19 Strong school yesterday morning, A recita- ton on The Life of Whittier" was given by Isabelle Grifiths and sixty pupils each gave quotations from Whittiers poems.
 1t has been decided to omit the Jan uary meeting of the mems club of the Grand avenue Congregational church owing to the Chapman revival meet ings Supervising Principal Graves of the Strong district is arranging to in vite the members of the mems club of the different churches to listen to an address in Granniss hall, Strong school, for some evening in February to be announced later At this meet ing Superintendent Beede will give an address of interest to fathers of chil- dren in the public schools.
 In connection with the meetings of the mems clubs Charles F. Bates said yesterday that he thought it would be good plan to take up for consider ation some topics of especial interest to Fair Haven. One topic that he pro posed was the location of an isolation hospital. He said that from the slow progress in this matter it looked as if the city would wait until some epi- demic broke out in the city before anything is done towards establishing the institution. Regarding the location MT, Bates said that by reason of op- position coming from residential neighborhoods, he would favor estab- fishing the hospital on the grounds of the New Haven hospital. He said that while he recognized that there was no danger to any neighborhood by reason of having such an institution there, there was an objection by owners of property. In view of those objections he said he thought the hospital should be established on the grounds of some public institution. No more time should be lost, and he thought 1t very proper that the subject should be dis cussed by church clubs.
 The Sunday school which has been held as a branch school in the old Ferry street church. under the man agement of the Grand avenue Congre- gational church, has been discontin- ued and the furnishings of the room have been removed preparatory to the tearing down of the old building.

 There was a little excitement in the office of Strong school right after school yesterday afternoon. A citf- zen who was driving a team made complaint to Supervising Principal Graves that he had been snowballed by some of the pupils, one of whom he accompanied to the office Mean while two Grand avenue precinct policemen had got word of the trouble and they called at the office and asked If they should put the offending lad under arrest. This lad told a pretty straight story, remarking that he did not throw any snowball at the man and didn't know who did. This was totally contradicted by the citizen. and for a time the arguments were spirit ed. The superintendent believed a mistake had been made, but he said: If any boy from this school snowballs you again, you can spank the lad and l will spank him, too. The citizen at last seemed to be little wavering of his ground and told the policemen that they needn't arrest the boy Mir Graves said last evening that he had received very little complaint about .snowballlng of citizens. He said that among an aggregation of nearly 1000 pupils there might be occasionally the throwing of a snowbau at a citizen, but he would not countentnce it and proposed to have authority over pu- pills until they reached home. He be- lieved that the pnpils of Strong school were pretty well behaved, but in cases where there was any infractions of the rules he proposed to make an ex- ample, of such pupils.
