The recent conference in Philadelphia
has revived the old plan of avoiding the
Hatteras by an inside canal. Work on
this has already begun in the canal
across Cape Cod, and the connection
between Delaware and Chesapeake Bays
has been officially examined. 1t will

connections between the Carolina
sounds, and an inland waterway, 900
miles long, from Barnstable, Mass, to
Beaufort, S. C., is one of the probabili-

this Winter, as the crop is the only one
that is larger than the average. Ii is

been produced this year, against sone-

1906. The yield is about two bushels
per acre more than the average.

Has Had an Exceptional Cabinet Record.

Mr.. Cortelyou has had the happy
faculty of winning the friendship and
support of every considerable body of
men with whom he has been identified,
which is saying great deal for any
man. 1t is also noticeable that the
three Departments he has presided
over since he entered President Roose-
velt's cabinet, have been three of the
largest Departments of the Government
with officeholders scattered in every
town and hamlet of the United States.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor, altho the newest of the Depart
ments, has an enormous pay roll. 1t
includes several very large bureaus
Census. Geological Survey. Reclama-
ton Service, Fisheries, Corporations,
Manufactures and others. The special
agents and other employees of these bu-
reauS, who travel extensively, feel very
kindly toward Mr.. Cortelyou, who was
the Departments first Secretary. The
Postoffice Department, which he next
presided over. following the campaign
of 1904, has an army of postmasters,
who, at least, are very familiar with
Mr.. Cor;efyou's name as Postmaster
General. Then he became Secretary of
the Treasury. another Department that
has an enormous roll of special agents,
customs and internal revenue collec-
tors and subordinate employees. All
this makes it certain that the name
Of Cortelyou will not sound strangely
as Presidential candidate anywhere
in the country and, as he has been a
popular Cabinet officer. with the EN-
ployes under his jurisdiction 1t is prob
able that he will have many official
friends.

but the Secretary is closely associated
with the issue of the Treasury threes
and it is hardly a secret any longer
that he has taken J. Pierpont Morgan
as his chief financial adviser. a storm
of protest and detraction in Congress
this Winter would lower over the Sec
retary of the Treasury as well as over
the President. If it is backed by pop
ular sentiment, the SeCretary's hopes
for further political advancement
would be blasted.
The trails of his boomers are already
seen in many States. He has, as Il
matter of fact, been looking forward
to the possibilities of a nomination for
more than three years. The word
leaked out while he was Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
with an office in New York during the
campaign of 1904 that Mr.. Cortelyou
had already conceived the idea of be-
thought he was a little "chesty' and
that his ambition was something TO
make a man laugh. But the former
Chairman has been forging ahead in
the public service ever since and has
enjoyed the constant favor of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t is said that Mr.
Roosevelt has been n little amused at
times over the earnestness with which
his Secretary of the Treasury worked
for the nomination
Predictions have been made that
Mr.. Cortelyou, familiar with the con-
ditions in the South, has lines down
for quite a bunch of Southern dele
gates. 1t is well known that he has
strong support inside the National
Committee. The Acting Chairman,
Col. Harry New. and the Secretary,
Elmer Dover are working for him on
the sly, but none the less effectively.
large portion of the National Com
mittee membership is also favorable
to him. The old Hanna following OF
the Republican Party looks upon the
Secretary in kindly way. They
would not object to his nomination,
would in fact like to bring it about.

UMPIRES DREAD DARK DAYS
Dislike to Work Owing to Many Pos.
sibIe Complications.

THE days when it looks like rain
are the troublesome times for
umpires," declared Billy Evans, of the
American league staff, in a recent
tanning bee. When the day is clear
and there are no clouds in the sky
everybody feels good and the Jumps
have comparatively easy time, but
just as soon as 1t looks like rains the
players become restless and If it COM
mences to drizzle then there is some
thing doing. Frequently the weather
leaks little in the early innings. If
one team is ahead then that team
wants to hurry to complete the re-
quired five innings, while the other
team backs water just as hard and
tries to get the game called before the
five innings are completed, so they
will not be charged with a defeat
Then the umpire's troubles begin. Be
tween the team that desires to hurry
and the team that wants to go slow
there is always something doing. It's
one of the hardest things in the world
to make a reluctant athlete get into
the game if he wants to stall. Some
of the older players are so clever at
working delays that 1t is a pretty hard
matter to tell when they are blocking
the game unnecessarily All the
umpires in the league bump into this
state of affairs many times each sea
son and it is about as trying as any
position in which the umpire finds
himself. Give me the bright clear
days when the sun jumps out of the
sky and sets on your shoulders like
a heavy weight. Then everybody is
full of ginger and the game goes
through to quick finish''

carnotte in Rio eIaneo County, Colo.

In 1899 by Cumenge and Friedel to a

Uranium and vanadium have attracte
much attention in recent years, ura.

as color in glass manufacture, AM
vanadium being added to steel to in.
crease its tensile strength, elasticity
and ductility. Uranium also has the
property of increasing the hardness
end elasticity of steel and of aluminium
but has not yet been much used for
this purpose.
Carnotite has been discovered at a
numDer of places in Colorado and ad.
jacent parts of Utah. Particularly in
teresting deposits are found near the
valley Of Coal creek, about fourteen
miles northeast of Meeker, in Ric
blanco county. in the northwestern
part of Colorado. This locality was

NEWS FROM THE Mines and MILLS
EIkton is a Winner.

A fine example of conservative mine
management is presented by the Elk
ton Consolidated Mining and Milling
Company in the Cripple Creek district.
The annual report of the company de-
scribes the fiscal year ending May 81,
1907, as "one Of the most prosperous
In the history of the company"
This is attested by the fact that Elk
ton shares sold yesterday at 56.5 cents.
In 1902, when the market for such
shares was more active than at pres
ent, they sold for 33 cents to 35 cents.
The Elkton company is now awaiting
the completion of the deep drainage
tunnel at present under way and mill
for dump material and low-grade ores
in the levels of the property.
To the drainage company the Elkton
management has subscribed 100000,
and will add more II necessary. 1t is
calculated that the completion of the
tunnel to the Beacon Hill mines will
add TAO feet to the available ore terri
tory in Elkton ground. This practically
doubles the present value of the group
as based upon the ore in sight.
With regard to the proposed mill the
Elkton management is noting the prog
ress made at the Vindicator, Mary Nc
Kinney, Stratton's independence and
other large mines. The experiments
made by Manager II. b. Lien at the
Ironclad mill are also useful. In the
latter case 100 tons Of low-grade ma
trial, averaging $2.85 a ton, is being
handled daily by the cyanide process.
The extraction of gold runs eighty per
cent. Of the assay value, making the
cash returns from the mill $4,000 a
month.
When the Elkton management is
ready to act it will have the results of
a half dozen different notifications of
the cyanide process to choose from.
