SARATOGA Is Connected.

The raise from the lateral on the Sara
toga vein from the Newhouse tunnel to
the tenth level of the Saratoga mine
was opened up again yesterday, and
there is every reason to believe that the
connection has now been permanently
made. A force of timbermen has been
engaged for the past ten days in getting
the tenth level in passable condition.
The work has been difficult as well as
dangerous, but the undertaking has
been completed without an accident of
any kind owing to the precaution taken
by the management z---S--.---..sl-s
Now that the connection has been es-
tablished permanently, and the ventila-
tion will permit of continuous work, the
rock and mineral on the track in the lat
eral will be removed as soon as possible
1t is the intention to drive the lateral
ahead of the upraise for connection with
the bottom of the main shaft, several
hundred feet to the east. 1t is likely
that work will be resumed in the slopes
above the lateral shortly, as there is
now nothing to prevent the working of
an almost unlimited force of men in the
lateral as well as the lower workings of
the big mine.
/ 1t will require some time for the Sara
toga Development company to get the
mine in shape for the production of a
heavy tonnage, as the raise is not large
enough to handle ore through it, but
was put through for the purpose of ven
tilation and drainage only. The New
house Tunnel company is not equipped
for the handling of any considerable ad-
ditional amount of ore and waste, and
will require hundred or more cars as
soon as the Saratoga is ready to ship.
All of the present rolling stock owned
by the tunnel is engaged in handling the
material from the Old Town, Mammoth,
Jefferson-C Calhoun and Gem veins. The
tracks in the tunnel also require con-
siderable amount of repairs, including
new ties and in some places the grade
needs attention. Idaho Springs Sift-

LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
4 COMPLETE SUCCESS

being able to perform this feat. While
Mr.. Gates was arranging his wire col
lection was taken from the spectators
and popular purse was presented him
as token of appreciation of the SER
vices he had SO willingly rendered in
playing in the ball team, inconvenience
ing himself in coming up from Denver
whenever he was needed. The people
contributed literally toward the purse
and $42. 90 was raised.
The days entertainment was conclud-
ed with grand ball at the Armory in
the evening. An exceedingly large
crowd filled the hall and enjoyed the
dancing until an early hour Tuesday
morning. Supper was served at Pete's
restaurant and the music was furnished
by an eight-piece orchestra, composed
of local musicians. The music was
very good and was the means of the
dancers having most delightful time.
The committee having the celebration
in charge was composed of John Cor

SCHOOL OPENS.

School began on Tuesday with an en-
rollment of 316 pupils.
Twenty-eight little folks entered
school for the first time.
A number0of students have enrolled
from Russell Gulch, Nevadaville and
Black Hawk. This is true of both the
high school and the grades, although
grade enrolment of non-residents has
not been solicited. Central City is Of
fering this year exceptional advantages
to high school students, and prospective
high school students from these places
are urged to visit the school and investi-
gate the conditions for themselves. We
have one of the best high school libra
ries IN the state, ard plans are under
way to add largely to the number of
volumes on hand and to facilitate the
use of the books by the introduction of
the card system. The physical and
chemical laboratories have been refitted
during the summer until they are sec
ond to none. New chemical work tables
have been provided and have been
plumbed so that city water is available
at each desk. These tables have been
fitted with hoods and fume cases and
are connected with outside ventilation.
The physical apparatus has been over
hauled and material has been purchased
to make our equipment complete along
these lines. The chemistry class this
year is the largest in the history of the
school and with the new equipment will
do some notable work. Mr.. Wiedman
would be pleased to receive visitors to
the science work at any time. The high
school course of study has been revised
to meet the demand for higher stand
ard of work and the work that is being
done in each department will speak for
itself. We believe that we have begun
one of the best years in the history of
the school and we are particularly de-
sirous that its advantages and oppor-
tunities shall be known to the young
people of this county. Every day is
visitors day. Come in and see US.
The high school boys held a meeting
Wednesday evening and organized an
athletic association for 1907-S. The
officers elected are, general manager,
D. E. Wiedmann; general secretary,
Thurston Matthews; general treasurer.
Francis Noonan.
Frank Morrison was elected manager
of the football team and Geo. Williams
will officiate as captain. The outlook
for strong football team is very
promising as there is plenty of good
material and the boys are taking live
ly interest in the game. The first game
will probably be with the West Denver
high school at Denver. A number of
games will be scheduled for Central
City and we trust the team will receive
the heartiest support of our citizens,
not only in financial but in personal
way.

BOOSTERS Win.

In the series of three games played
between the Cordoves, of Denver and
the Boosters, of this city, for a first
prize Of 10000 and second of $50. 90,
the home team won two out of the
three, which gave them the long end of
the money. The first game of the SER
les was won by the visitors and the de-
feat of the Boosters, following the de-
feat of Saturday, made it look rather
dubious for the home boys. Monday
mornings game was hotly contested
and better game of ball is seldom
seen on the local grounds. 1t was won
by the Boosters by very close margin.
In the afternoon, the game which was
to determine the winners of the first
prize, the playing on the part of the
Cordoves was very loose and the Boost
ers virtually had walk-away. The
afternoon game was not finished as the
Denver team had to quit in order to
catch the train. When the game was
called the score stood II to 2 in favor of

the series and half of the players of the
regular Booster team did not partici-
pate. Following is the score and sum-

mond, lent his services toward coaching
the home boys and did good, effective
work.

went .94 ounces gold. This ore was
taken from a good-sized streak in the

Schmilz and the Trust Magnates

The sentencing of Mayor Schmitz to serve five years in San Quentin penitentiary will go a long way to- ward stopping graft among municipal officers. He extorted from French restaurant keepers of San Francesca s1175, and a jury promptly found him guilty. He has appealed his case and possibly he may be allowed to give bail while his appeal is pending. But the moral value of his conviction will not be lost. That conviction will stay the hands of grafters in many cities.
 Just what has been accomplished in political circles will yet be accom- plished among the trusts and monop- olists. Schmitz was assailed because he was the man primarily responsi- ble. He was the real offender rather than a subordinate who collected the money And so 1t should be in the
 
 cases of the trust magnates who yio- late daily the laws of the land, who grant rebates and deal out discrim- nations secretly, and who consider themselves above all law. Contempt for legislatures and courts they had bought in the past had led them to think that no law could be fitted to them. When a responsible trust mag nate is placed in Schmitz's shoes, all this will be changed. The nonrespect for law will disappear in moment. Public sentiment really demands the punishment of a trust magnate who has set up a private monopoly con- trarv to the terms of the sherman antitrust law, but mere fines would not be an adequate punishment in such a case. A trust magnate in a penitentiary cell is the remedy need ed. and it will soon be forthcoming. There is no other way to break down private monopoly, and the people have determined that monopoly shall be checked and if possible crushed.

YAMAMOTO IS GRATEFUL.
Japanese Admiral Says Americans
 Have Been Very Kind.

New York, July 14.-Upon the eve of his departure for New England Admiral Bar Yamamoto, the distinguished Japanese who has for several days been a guest in the city, gave out a formal statement expressing his appreciation of the courte- sies received and rejoicing that he had been instrumental in eliciting sentiments of international amity. Through his aide, Captain Kato, Admiral Yamamoto tonight said:
 My deep sense of appreciation for my welcome again to America (for you know I have been here several times), forbids my going away without saying to my friends I am proud of your welcome. Es- pecially has the press been very kind to me. I am glad if in any way I was in strumental in ellciting from your great President his statement that the feeling between Japan and the United States is understood by both governments and both people to be very friendly"
 The admiral and his staff will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning for Boston. During their stay in New England the party will visit the yards of the Fore River Shipbuilding company at Quincy.

A Public Library

No thoughtful citizen can fail to appreciate the value of free public library Birmingham of all cities of it's size needs just such an institution Gs the Public Library association has projected This associa ton is doing good work in it's campaign of eduea- ton. The second mass meeting in 1 furtherance of the movement was held yesterday afternoon and the speech of Thomas NJ. Owens of Mont gomery, director of the department of archives and history, and the shorter addresses by local speakers were ami mating and were listened to with keen interest.
 MT. Owen discussed the library question from practical, educational point of view and made 1t clear that library in Birmingham should be re- garded not so much as a luxury as a necessity. Our modern social and in- dustrial life must have a solid intel lectual basis for it's larger develop ment. Schools and colleges give the young a start in education; but 1t is only start. Systematic pedagogy must be followed by reading and in order to stimulate the reading habit books in abundance and free of access must be at hand. In other words, the work of the class room should be supplemented by public library.
 If the people of Birmingham do not respond to the demand for a library, it will naturally be taken as a reflec- ton upon the public spirit and taste of the community. But they will re- spond; and in time the men and wom- en who thirst for knowledge will find themselves reveling in books
