safes for Males.

The number of combination safes
In use in Wales Is limited. Many
causes have contributed to this re-
suit In the first place burglary Is
not common. and "cracksmen" are
practically unknown. Then. the dan
ger from fires cannot be great when
practically all the buildings are built
of stone or brick. Police protec-
tion and fire prevention leave little
to be desired along that line. Last
ly, the conservative methods and the
economical bent Of business men OF
all classes make them satisfied with
lock and hey safes. some of very
ancient patterns. Notwithstanding
these facts, there Is an opening for
combination safes on account of the
number Of new enterprises estab-
lished annually, for safe dealers re-
port that they frequently take orders
for such safes. Ordinarily such safes
are made to order, and the cheaper
price of American safes should give
them an advantage with such pur.
ehasers. ~

WANTS ROOM FOR MORE PATIENTS
State Hospital at Newberry Now Con-
tains Fifty More Than 1t Can
Well Accommodate.

| The state should without DELAY de
something to relieve the crowded
condition OF the asylum at Newber-
ry. The present buildings can only
conveniently accommodate about CSC
patients, but there are now over zoe
in charge. Six patients we're taken
to the asylum the earlier part OF the
week. Four OF these were men and
on their arrival at the hospital it
was necessary to place cots for them
to sleep on in one of the halls, as
there was not vacant room on any
OF the male wards. Superintendent
Campbell says that the problem of
furnishing accommodations for the
patients had been a serious one for
some months past. He has advised
probate judges OF the condition at
the hospital and requested them to
commit only violent cases, sending
those who had become deranped
through the use of drink or drugs TO
county jails and having them looked
after by the county physicians. But
though the courts have endeavored
to help him out in every way, DR.. |
CaMpbell says that it was utterly
impossible for him to discharge or
parole enough patients to furnish
new arrivals with proper accommo-
dations. He states that he has been
compelled to release many patients
whose liberty was menace to So
ciety, but was absolutely necessary
that those more in need of medical
attendance should receive it.
DR.. Campbell believes that the
easiest way in which the present
congested condition of the hospital
could be relieved would be by max.
ing two cottages out of the present
administration building and then
erecting q new structure for Offices
and quarters for the medical force.

True Western Friendship.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The body OF
Eben Green, who was killed in an ac-
cident in the Ophir mine, was buried in
Mount Pisgah cemetery. and Frank
Sheafor. brother OF District Judge
Sheafor, in an odd way paid his re-
spects to the dead. Sheafor hired and
drove the hearse, and just as the re-
mains were about to be lowered into
the grave he stood over the casket and
said: "Old boy, we were friends for
many years, and this is the last thing
l can do for you. Goodbye, good bye"
Not desiring to see earth thrown over
the cold form Of his. friend, Sheafor
quickly left the grave. mounted the
box OF the hearse and drove
back to town. Sheafor and
Green became staunch friends
in Pitkin county fourteen years ago.
Acquaintances Of the deceased from
Pitlkin county were ths pallbeare9.

Socialists Denounee President.

Seattle, Wash.-President Roose-
velt's designation Of Meyer and Hay
woods as undesirable citizens" was
accepted by Washington Socialists as
their own Characterization at the state
convention of the Socialist party here.
The convention almost unanimously
passed a resolution declaring that IL
Meyer and the other accused officials
ere undesirable citizens" they wish
to be known in the same way
The same resolution demanded that
President Roosevelt show proof for his
statement that the officials melted to
riot and bloodshed A resolution de-
claring that the President himself is
the most undesirable citizen in the
United States to-day" was barely de-
feated, and then only because the con-
vention went on record as refusing to
handy epithets used by capitalists"
The Socialist convention has been
marked by the ousting of Walter
Thomas Mills, author Of The Struggle
for Existence" and a very prominent
nan in the party. He was refused a
seat on the convention floor. He Is
now leading the minority faction in an
attempt to gain control Of the party in
this state.

NEWS FROM THE MINES ANO MILLS
BIG Find i, Clear Creek.

II appears from the facts below
elected in an Interview with F. W.
Dickerscn. the general manager. that
the Almaden mines. located one half
mile above the Lucania tunnel on Fall
river, Clear Creek county, are about TO
bring forth results calculated to make
something of sensation in that quar-
ter, where no sensation has ever before
occurred. In the last few DAYS they
have struck ore worth S352 sc per ton.
The story OF its development and of
the excellent prosperity in view, runs
follows.
The original opening was by an adit
tunnel commenced at a point on the
steep mountain about 400 feet below
the valley, which was extended a dis
tance of 3T5 feet. When 200 feet in
the miners struck into and subse-
quently penetrated a shoot of ore some
four feet in width and l25 feet long
which carried in addition to mill stun
from six to tweDty-four inches OF
smelling ore that contained shipping
values of $40 TO 500 per ton.
An upraise of 100 feet TO the surface
showed it 10 be continuous. The next
step was TO build a shaft house and
place a whim. after which they started
a shaft in the floor of the adit that was
carried down ninety three feet, expos
ing the same character OF ore but in
larger measure. This was followed by
the construction of an aerial tram from
the adit to the base of the mountain
In the lower tunnel the men soon
opened a shoot four inches in width
that ran $40 ounces silver which to-
gether with the other metals, gave a
value of s252.60 per ton II is as,
sumed rather than positively known.
that this shoot will lead to the Virginia
vein. owned by the GoIconda company
which crosses the lode of the Almaden
Mines Company a short distance ahead
and is now being worked by leasers,
who are shipping excellent ore, and OH
which the Almaden people own coo feet

the workings defined above there has

and for economical handling Of the
products
Mr.. Dickerson has thus far shipped
about 100 tons of material that carried
from $40 up to $500 per ton from the
various openings. If his conjecture
that the heading of the lower adit is
nearing the Virginia lode proves cor

These men are organized as the

1t is declared by experts that the ruby
'1line in North Carolina will rival in
productiveness the famous ruby field
of Burmah, India.
The owners claim they have discov-
cred matrix, or collective deposit
ot rubies. and in color and quality they
ARE said to equal the Iniian product.
They assert that this is the only spot
,outside Of Burmah where true matrix
Of ruby has heen discovered.
The property owned by the company
consists OF 2,500 acres along a fork of
Cowee creek. a branch of the Little
Tennessee river, and he contour OF
the country is said to resemble closely
that of the Burmah district.
Eleven years ago residents of the
'Cowee country first discovered pieces
o. red corundum on the surface of the
ground and shortly afterward experts
from Europe and this country began
systematically prospecting for the real
gems. Since then explorations have
been going on constantly and few
weeks ago there was unearthed what
lis said to be the encasing material for
iruhies
With Mr. Moffat the matter is. OF
course. purely a business investment,
hut it looks like a good cne. A ruby
is worth almost as much as diamond,
and II any should be found the returns
will be enormous.
