Composers Cannot Tell just Now
They Do Il.

A ST. Louis composer. whose operas
have achieved popularity all over the
United States. was recently asked how
he composed music.
Il don't know" he said. sometimes
a melody is suggested to me by the
words Of a poem. sometimes by
sound like the rumble of street car.
or the rattle Of the wheels OF a rail
road train, and sometimes it comes as
m inspiration without any origin that
can be traced. People occasionally
have the idea that, after a melody is
written, the composer must sit down
at the piano and hammer out a har-
mony, but. as fact, no musician ever
hears melody without al the same
time heading in his own mind all the
harmonies that are appropriate to 1t.
A St Louis orchestra leader. who is
also composer. says that he never
tries to write music until he feels the
inspiration.
Sometimes days will pass without
writing line, simply because I feel
no inclination to write Then, all OF
a sudden. without any notice, melodies
come crowding into my mind SO fast

your Mexican friend may meet you a

The salute in passing on the street

A shipment of ore from the Gold
Treasure mine on Alps mountain was
made the first of the week by Peter
cellars, which returned OG6 ounce gold,
and sc. a ounces silver. or a net value
of $54. so per ton at the sampling works.
The ore came from the winze several
hundred feet in from the mouth of the
adit, but did not contain any of the
high grade native silver streak. 1t is
the intention of the lessee to sink the
winze, now about 100 feet deep, an
additional lift as soon as improved
hosting liabilities can be installed.
In the Gold Reserve claim. owned by
the Continental Mines, Power and Re-
duction company. an enormous ore
body was recently encountered, the
value of which cannot be determined
until it is tested in commercial quanti-
ties in the Lombard mill, some l,5OO
feet distant. 1t is believed, however,
from the many sack sample runs and
assays that the entire ore body will re-
turn handsomely when the ore is han
died in large quantities. Tests by PAN
ming show the gold to be free and the
mineral easily separated from the vein
material in which it is deposited.
The Leviathan in which the Cont
mental company recently purchased a
three-fourths interest is expected to be
reached by the Seemann tunnel within
the next 300 feet. and Captain Seemann
anticipates world of ore when the
vein is reached at the depth it will be
cut by the tunnel. The Leviathan is
one of the strongest big fissures in the
Yankee Hill section.

St. kcxis PushinG

The breast of the St. Regis tunnel on
Chicago creek, at distance of 453 feet
in from the portal and at a depth of
26O feet below the surface, is showing
an immense body of mineralized vein
matter, which as yet, is considerably
broken up. The heading is in spar,
quartz, porphyry, schist and granite in
no definite arrangement, but apparent
ly is huge dyke running almost par
allel with the line of the tonnel. When
the material was first opened up an
assay showed .0S ounce gold and 3.6
ounces silver per ton, but no assays
have been made of the stuff more re-
Gently opened. There is every indica-
ton that when the walls are disclosed
and the mineral body is found in place,
there will be found large quantities of
pay ore. Throughout the mass there is
white and yellow iron and copper, lead
and molybdimum and some indications
of gray copper. The tunnel has been
driven by double-hand work, making
the progress slow on account of the
hard rock and the manner in which it
lies, it breaks with difficulty. The
company intends to install power drills
in the near future, at which time the
dyke or big vein will be thoroughly ex-
plotted. Manager Frank Percy is con-
fident that he will be able to show his
people result that will amply repay
Them for the outlay in a very short
time after the installation Of machinery.

The Merry Monarch Mining and De-
velopment company is the cheerful
name of recently organized company
owning a group of ten lode mining
claims on Fall river opposite Cumber-
land gulch, which will be developed by
the Majestic tunnel which has been
driven distance of 80 feet. On We'd
nesday the first vein was encountered,
but as it is too near the surface to de-
rive much benefit from drifting, the
tunnel will be continued to cut other
veins in the group. When the tunnel
has been extended /, 500 feet, the head
ing will have attained a depth of 600
feet.
The company is incorporated under

proposition was wired to the New York

Donlin to start for Los Angeles. The
proposition at first seemed agreeable to
Donlin, but later he decided not to accept,
giving as his reason the fear that Brush

salary. Donlin announced he would stand

CITIZENS OF COLON OBJECT.
Protest Against Sanitary Regulations
on the Isthmus

The particular petition referred to in dis
patches from Colon, said to have been pre-
pared by citizens of that place. protesting
against the action Of the United States Of
ficials in connection with the -administra-
ton of the sanitary regulations, has not
been reported to Secretary Taft. But 1t Is
said that there have already been numerous
protests of the same kind, and in every case
the officials have been obliged to support
the local administration or suffer the dan
gers of an epidemic of yellow fever and
other tropical diseases. Much the same
difficulty was experienced in Cuba in the
early days OF Intervention. for it is said that
many of the inhabitants Of these tropical
cities have an invincible repugnance to the
adoption Of the simplest sanitary measures
that involve expense or manual labor.
The case is a little different on the 18TH
mus. however. because under the terms OF
the treaty between the United States and
Panama, whereby the former became
charged with the sanitation of the canal
zone, including the cities of Colon and
Panama, it was provided that "all dam
ages caused to the owners of private lands
or~private property Of any kind by the
operations Of the United States. or Of the
works Of sanitation and protection herein
provided for. shall be appraised and settled
by a joint commission. whose awards as
to such damages shall be paid solely by the
United States"
1t is under that provision that the prop
erty owners at Colon. or some OF them, are
protesting against the regulations of the
health officers. But Secretary Taft holds
that the provision Of the treaty referred to
does not in the slightest degree relieve the
Inhabitants of Colon from the duty imposed
upon the residents OF all cities In civilized
lands of keeping their private lots and
properties clean and wholesome. and II
that involves the filing In of sinkholes and
the clearing away OF rubbish from q private
lot, the owner will be required to do those
things at his own expense, as he would In
any other city. Therefore the petitioners
are likely to get little comfort from the
government at Washington when their pro-
test comes to hand.
