CANNOT "SHELVE" BEN.
Politicians Fail 10 Sidetrack BeI
Lindsey to Denver.

Lindsey to Denver.
That Judge Ben B. Lindsey is to be
'shelved" sooner or later, and by
some means or other, is the deter
mined dictum which long ago went
forth from the camp of his political
enemies, and that these enemies are
still working overtime to devise
method by which this purpose can
be successfully carried out is evil
denced by the latest scheme that has
been hatched against him, says the
Denver News.
Judge Lindsey has positively de-
clared that he will not resign his po-
sition as county Judge and accept the
juvenile court judgship under the new
law until the validity, of that law
has been tested by the courts. This
frustrated one part of the plan to
oust him, but that it will only delay
his downfall is the opinion of those
arrayed against him.
The original idea was to have Judge
Lindsey resign his Office as county
judge to become Judge of the ju-
venile court. Under the cloud that
has been cast upon the new law by
reason of manipulations in the legis-
lature, it was planned to secure an
| opinion from the attorney general
which would declare the law invalid.
This would have had the result OF
throwing Judge Lindsey out of office
completely.
Since Judge Lindsey was too wise
to fall into this trap, the plan now
is to give the place to Grant Hud-

DISPOSAL OF COAL LANDS.
Government VIII Restore Lands to
Entry at Advanced Price.

Commissioner Ballinger while here
policy of the administration, which
has also heen sharply criticised in
some quarters, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. Last fall approximately 64,-
100000 acres of coal lands in western
states were withdrawn from entry,
and much discussion has arisen as
to the policy of the government in
regard to these lands.
practically all of these lands have
since been restored to entry, includ-
ing 20,00e,000 acres of low grade
coal deposits. These can now be filed
upon under the land laws. Approxi-
mately 100000 acres have not yet
been restored. ..a
"These consist Of high grade coal
deposits worth far more than the
$40 or $40 an acre for which coal
lands can be secured under the ex-
listing laws and as rapidly as these
lands can he classified by the geo.
logical survey they will be restored
to entry. The administration simply
did not desire to have these valuable
coal lands gobbled up by companies
at the low rates charged for coal
bearing lands under the existing
laws.
"The geological survey have al
ready classified and valued 100000
acres of the high grade coal land
which are open for entry and all
pending entries where no specific
charges of fraud exist are ordered to
patent as rapidly as they can be con-
sidered."

SOME FAMOUS MINES.
Mount Morgan Richest Gold Mine in
the World.


Curle considers Mount Morgan
the greatest gold mine in the world,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. Those
that most nearly approach it are, the
Homestake in South Dakota, Robin
son, Ferreira Deep, Simmer and Jack
in the Transvall, and the Waihi in
the North Island of New Zealand
Mount Morgan has paid over f5,500,-
900 in dividends. 1t has an immense
ore body, workable for over 20 years
to come. The average value of the
ore is high. working costs are low,
says the Mining Reporter.
The Homestake and Simmer and
Jack treat far more ore, but it is low
grade. The Robinson, and Ferreira
Deep are richer, but they have not
the past record and will be worked
out while this mine is still producing.

ed for one-fifth the cost, but its ore
is eight times as poor. The Golden
Horseshoe is twice as rich. but it has
only one ton in sight to Mount Nor
gan's ten. Mount Morgan is not
hill of solid gold-bearing quartz, but
the great part of it is gold bearing
All the top of the hill, $50 yards
long, 400 feet wide and $50 feet deep,
is being quarried away and more
than half is ore.
The Tasmania mine in New South
Wales is regarded as the wettest
mine in the world. Every "a hours
100000 gallons of water are pump
ed out, and the ground is rendered so
loose by the continual flow of water
that the bill for mine timber is as
heavy as that for pumping.
Water pours in a deluge down the
old stones and is foot deep along
the drives, A whole regiment OF
men are kept at work on the pumps.
The Wahai mine in New Zealand has
one of the richest shoots of gold ore
In the world. Over a million tons of
ore are in sight. The ore shoot Sc
far as developed is 1000 feet long.
Whilst Mount Morgan is the great.
est gold mine in the world, the Home
stake is the largest with its 9OC
stamps and more. The mother lode
OF California is probably the largest
mineral belt in the world. 1t is over
lOO miles long and 20 miles wide
The main fjssure runs through tn,
center Of the belt and has a width Of
several hundred feet.
