Newhouse Tunnel 10 Busy.

There has never been q time In the
history OF the Newhouse tunnel when
there was equal activity with that
which now prevails. A larger num-
her OF mines are being worked than
ever before and In every case the work
is being pushed as hard as possible.
In the Saratoga upraise to the old
workings had. on the first OF the
month, just $50 feet to go and 1t is ex-
bectcd that II will break through this
month. The accomplishment of this
work is OF scarcely less moment to the
tunnel than It is to the Saratoga mine
itself. BY that way the tunnel will be
ve:,tilated automatically for three
miles OF its length and In n much bet.
ter manner than Is possible by mo.
chnnical means. The benefits OF the
ventilation will accrue to all other
properties operated In the tunnel also.
ms 1t will be merely necessary to drive
the gases out Of the comparatively
short latcrals into the main tunnel
where It will be drawn out quickly.
The Hot Time tunnel is progress
Ing well and II the work can be re-
gumcd shortly In the shaft Of the Old
Town mine, which has yet to be sunk
several hundred feet, the connection
will be made by the end Of the year.
The laternls on tho Great Mammoth

being pushed and very heavy opera
tons are going on In the Gem mines. -

Try for Factories.

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business OF any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of city or town.
and any meane of supplying this need
is commendable. But there 10 one
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration. and that 10, It Is
better for the citizens OF town to
build up industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus
tries. A manufacturing plant is ben
eficial to n place in accordance with
its payroll and its output Of goods
that bring revenue to the town.
Some small concerns that will en-
ploy.a dozen hands will have q pay
roll Of perhaps $35 or $40 day. The
value OF Its products may amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character OF the
business. But what is most consid.
cred Is the payroll. From the aver.

UMPIRE IS BLAMED
FOR ALL TROUBLES
Defender Of Indie ator-Wield SAYS
His Life Is Made Up Of
Series of Horrors.

Joan OF Arc may have been played

have been fed to all the agonies of a
lonely exile on the desolate island of
st. Helena; Dreyfus may have suf-
fered the worst tortures of Jersey in
a gloomy dungeon on Devils island.
But the trials and tribulations of this
trio all put together and multiplied
by 46 would resemble a May day jubi-
lee compared to the horrible tortures
that are daily inflicted upon the mod

berg.
"A society should be established
for the prevention of cruelty to UNI
pires. Every umpire, from the bush
league of Oklahoma to the National

When you consider that 80 out of

Cripple Creek district is again evil
Genced by the rush of work on two
new mills, which are expected to De
in operation before August 1st.. The
plants are the w. P. H., on IrOnclad

The former mill is being erected by
the w. p. H. Leasing Company, and
the other by the Blue Flag Gold Min
ing Company. Each OF the mills, when
completed, will have a capacity OF 100
ton. per day, and 1t is claimed that
ere Df as low grade as 81 In gold to

q good profit. An electric motor, TO

both mills, and the construction Of

A two and half-foot ore body, CIV
ing returnsof three ounces In gold u

King property gulch, the first gold pro-
ducer OF the Cripple Creek district.
The vein was encountered at depth
Of 800 feet, and at point short dis
tence north of the shaft. This strike
now makes three ore bodies exposed
in the Gold King mine. Shipments
of ore ranging in value from one and
a half to three ounces in gold are reg

between $40 and $50 are expected. The
ore IL said to be increasing In value
as depth is attained in this mine.
1t is understood that the fore of min
ers employed on the Granite property
will be increased by seventy-five. The
pumping of water from the Gold Coin
property. belonging to the Granite COM
pany, has dried the lower workings OF
that mine, and rich ore bodies. which
lie at great depth, will be developed.
The Granite company is now shipping
on an average OF two cars of ore per
day. The mineral gives returns Of
from one and half to four ounces in
gold to the ton, with an occasional
consignment OF nigh grdue, WHICH ruuS
upwards of 500 to the ton.
Chris Vein, leasing on the Black
Bellies property, on Bacon hill. cut a

This is the second ore body opened
by the lessees on the Black Bellies
property in less than one month.

operating on the Jennie Sample claim,
ON Raven hill, is now breaking ore of
two-ounce grade from four-foot

Proscription Is a Poor Policy.

LOUISVILLE Courier journal.
We took occasion to say-and 1t is
the only criticism we have passed up
on Mr.. Bryan-that, considering the
lapse of time and the political situa-
tion his attitude of open hostility to
those Democrats who could not go with
the party upon it's ill-starred Free
Silver Crusade of 1896 reflects credit
neither upon his good nature, nor his
good sense. Statesmen who look for
results should be at once more circum-
spect and more tolerant. None of those
who led the revolt eleven years ago re-
mains upon the scene to be punished.
Everywhere Democratic discipline
hangs at loose ends. elimination and
recrimination is the sheerest waste of
time and votes. The effect of Mr..
Bryan's prescription could only be to
warn. off the thousands of sound mon
ey men who never held Office in their

DAYS OF REST.

From an editorial in a recent issue
of The Chicago Tribune we take this:
The agitation in favor of Sunday
rest on the continent of Europe has
led to an inquiry into the value OF rest
as a preventive of accidents. In France,
Belgium and Germany statistics have
been obtained which show that rest
has a value which not even the abuse
of the rest day by some as an occa-
sion for debauchery is able to offset.
In both Belgium and France the small
est number of accidents in connection
with industries is found to occur on
Monday, and the number increases to
a maximum on SATURDAY me increase
is regular except that Thursday shows
a larger number than Friday. Friday
mas a number larger than any of the
first three days of the week, but
slightly smaller than Thursday.
The Tribune goes on to give the per
centage of accidents occurring on diff
ferent days of the week, and at diff
ferent hours of the day. all going to
show that as body and brain become
weary through continued strain the
danger of accidents increases, and
adds:
The Congressional investigation in
connection with the bill limiting the
hours OF work for railway employees
proved that many railway accidents
were due to overwork. The European
figures show that the same thing is
true of accidents in factories. The
general adoption of the Saturday half
holiday in this country has the effect
of cutting out the most disastrous pc
Rod of the week. From that point of
the saturday half holiday is more
generally observed may also be ex-
pected to diminish the number of ac-
cidents to workingmen.
From one point of view It matters
little how the Sunday is spent We do
not of course mean that 1t is imma-
terial whether the day is spent in
vice and dcbauchery or the opposite
What we wish to convey is that men
who occupy positions of great respon-
sibilfty, where constant care and
watchfulness are required, should
have one day out of seven to rest
both mind and body. and this without
regard to Scriptural commands or re-
ligious observances. The interests of
those whose safety depends on the fit
ness and alertness of railroad engi-
neers and others occupying positions
of like responsibility demands that
such men should not be overworked.
Whether they spend the Sunday at
church and in the quiet of home, or
spend 1T in a way not to be approved
by good people. is not the point from
a practical view of 1t. The important
point is that the mind and the body
should get comnlete rest from the
