lessees ship from Chase Mine.

Leonie & Co., this week shipped from
their lease on the Chase mine in Willis
gulch ten-ton lot of smelling ore
which went through the Chamberlain
sampling works. This comes from the
2O0-foot west level and promises to run
very good. Reiva & Co., who are
working in the same level in back
stope sent carload of some excellent
looking ore to Argo the first of the
week and this also promises to run far
above the average. Mannelli & Co.,
are alsSshipping some ore from their
lease in the SO0-foot level. This is Of a
milling character, however, but usually
gives good returns and this is not likely
to be an exception. The returns from
the above have not been heard from as
yet. All the lessees are making good
money.

the mayor and all the aldermen, was
read, which warned the council against
going ahead with the scheme of the old
council and taking the water from
James Peak lake. This lake is tribu-
tary to Boulder creek and the water be-
longs to half dozen of the ditch COM
panies doing business in Boulder coun-
ty. Action in the matter was deferred
to an adjourned meeting, which was
held Friday evening. At this meeting
the mayor (not the council as it wasn't
put to vote) went into executive ses-
sion. This was done to shut out rep
resentative of this paper, the mayor
fearing that the Observer would divulge
the procedure and would expose the
foolhardy action of himself and the
council he presided over before the
present one was elected, in appropriat-
ing water that belonged to others and
which the city had established no right
to. AS is known thousands of dollars
have been expended in building the
James Peak dam in which to store
water that the mayor and his council
men thought they could have merely for
the taking. 1t is learned that in some
instances steps were taken in the water
matter which We're contrary to the adj
vice of w. c. Fullerton, who was city
attorney at the time the James Peak
proposition first came up. Nothing
definite was decided upon at Friday
nights meeting and nothing will be
done by the present council until it is
absolutely certain that the city will not
become involved in litigation as the re-
suit of something which might be done
inadvisedly. Within short time every
thing in connection with the James
Peak water proposition will be given to
the public, SO the people may know how
the matter stands.
At Thursday evenings meeting the
license bonds of Zanella & Mathes and
Ignatz Meyer were approved and full
liquor licenses were issued, something
that had not been done for years, it be-
ing the custom of the former clerk to
just give a receipt for the money re-
ceived. This was done because some of
the fees were paid on the installment
plan, which is contrary to the or
dinances, the ordinances saying that
''No license shall be issued for any
other term than twelve months or six
months, not until the whole of the Ii
cense fee due therefor shall have been
fully paid" Any arrangement other
than provided for by the ordinances
was an injustice to some Of the saloon
men as some paid their full fee while
Others were permitted to pay by the
month, if need be. Political motives,
it is needless to say, were back of this
action.
City bills to the amount of s2055. 40
and water bills amounting to S504. %
were allowed.

$4,000 Ore In East Nollawau.

Another shipment of high-grade ore
was made few days ago from the
lease of Edwards & Co., in the 555-foot
west level of the East Nottaway Imine.
The returns were received ::from the
smelter yesterday, the ore running
$3.50. so to the ton, the metal values be-

such as was enacted against the Chi
nese.
If the japanese refuse TO accept the
conditions imposed, they can make a
lot of trouble for the administration.
The Republicans are afraid Of the stu
alton. Reports are current, undoubted.
ly exaggerated, that the entire Pacific
coast will desert the Republican ticket
in the next national election, unless the
japanese question is settled satisfac-
torily to them. William Jennings
Bryan has been prompt to make the
most of the prospects by declaring in
magazine article for the right Of the
San Franciscans to run their schools as
they please. Therein he is in line with
such an eminent authority as ex-Secre-
tary of State Olney, whose letter Of
like purport was given to the public
few weeks ago.
At the japanese embassy here IL II
insisted that the school question could
not be made a part Of the controversy
over the exclusion of japanese coolies
by passport but that il must eventually
be settled independently and that Japa-
nese children must have the same rights
in the schools of this country as are
accorded the children of other foreign
ers residing here.

The administration is anxious to quiet
the agitation over japanese affairs and
it is to this end that the misrepre-
sentation, if any there has been, was
made. 1t undoubtedly had the effect
in this country of quieting the hostile
press for the time being, although stray
accounts have been printed of incl
dents that indicated everything WIS
not as pleasant as it might have been.
The effectual enforcement of the
passport provision depends entirely up
on the japanese government, which can
issue passports to San Francisco, if
it so wishes. The holders of those pass
ports must be admitted to all parts
of the mainland
But there is a feeling here that the
end of the japanese trouble is not yet
and that there are to be developments
before the final word is said. These
may come soon after Congress adjourns
and the President has more time to
listen to japanese representations. If
the exclusion by passport is continued,
it is unlikely that the majority of
the Californians will loudly elamor for
further action. Some of them will not
stop short of an actual exclusion law,

A SORE POINT.
House bill No. is, introduced by Mr..
Silva relating to the practice of County
and Territorial officials in engaging in
occupations not connected with their
official positions, caused another stir in
the House. This bill, It is claimed, is
intended to deal with affairs in the
Attorney Generals Office, the officials
OF which, it is said, are practising law
in civil cases with which this depart
ment has no official connection. Mr..
Rawlins took exception to the action of
the officials affected by this bill, whom
he said did their explaining outside in
stead of before the committee He
moved the bill be recommitted to the
judiciary committee for amendment.
The motion to reconsider was OPP
posed by Mr.. Kaniho as lowering the
dignity of both the House and the
member who proposed the bill. 1t
seemed to him. he said, that the Legis-
iature was being run from the outside,
1nsinuating also that the judiciary
committee appeared to feel this influ-
ence. This woke up Mr.. RawIins That
gentleman denied strenuous1y that he
had been Influenced by anything other
than desire on the part Of the COM

Sharp County record., 1907-04-05

That conference of 1853 accom-
nlished prodiaies of successful labor
within a year Lt drew into its COM
pact the concurrence of two-thirds OF
the imDortant countries OF Europe,
which proceeded to establish aid or
central societies for relief in war; as,
for instance, Austria, Spain, France,
Great Britain, the Netherlands, Prus-
sfa. six German states, Sweden. Swift
zerIand. Italy, Portugal and Denmark.
Although thorough advocates, these
societies were merely stng.e-handed
and national, each ready to act with
oil humanity and generosity to friend
and foe. but there was no bond be.
tween them, internationally they had
no existence. The established laws OF
war held IT'S impenetrabIe mantle over
hem and internationally there was no
link between these civil aid societies
aud the military Of even their own
Countries. The surgeons whom they
would send could still be captured,
their wounded could be left on the
Geld to suffer and die, the material
could become the spoil Of the con-
1ueror; hospitals could be robbed and
their inmates either left destitute or
dragged off to prison, according to the
,aprice OF the conqueror. international
law sanctioned these things.
Il was clearly, therefore, interna.
Honal law that must be remedled In
lhIs respect. This conference Of 1853
5ravey called for another to be held
in 1864. which should take on the char.

It will be recalled that although Of
icially invited to every conference the
United States was too sadly occupied
TO give attention to anything Outside
itself, until the close Of our civil war.
Then 1t was too worn, tired and glad
OF the end Of war TO ever want TO hear
Of It again. Thus it happened that
when Dr. Henry w. Bellows, the great
apostle Of war relief and president
Of our sanitary commission, having
come in contact with the Red Cross at
the Paris exposition In 1858, and per-
ceivlng its great utility, undertook to
interest the American people and in
duce the government to unite with the
treaty and actually formed a society,
failed both with government and peo.
pie, was compelled to abandon his So
cIety and relInqulsh his efforts. For
eign nations regretted this and con-
tlnued their efforts to interest Amer.

Red Cross, by full approval Of the
Prussian authorities, removed 10000
of these and brought back 5000 prts-
oners from Germany. I speak Of these
from personal observation and partic-
iparion
In July, 1876, 5eryia and Montenegro
entered Turkey All were in the
treaty. The Turkish officials, inteIli-
gent and educated, understood the
origin OF the Red Cross and respected
it, but DrudentIy feared to place
cross in the sight of their Ignorant,
fanaticaI soIdiery. and the Red Cres-
cent was substituted which remains
until to-day. In 1877 Russia came
down and crossed the Danube. PIev-
ma tells it's terrible tale. The Servian
Red Cross, young and poor, estab-
lished its wonderful hospital at Bel.
grade and Roumania nursed 1,042'
wounded Turks. Fifteen million dol
lars in Red Cross relief was spent by
Russia alone
The Japanese are one of the most
advanced Red Cross nations, the em-
peror being the active head Of the CEN
trail society. Their work for the relief
Of suffering during the late war with
Russia aroused the wonder and ad-
miratiOn of the world.
OF civil wars there has been no
end Italy had it's Garibaldian and
papaI war. Spain had it's CarIist war.
Russia led its armies to the region of
Persia and it's Red Cross sent III per-
sons after them, who followed the ad-
vaacad guard, six being wounded and
Y killed.
The Dutch established it's Red Cross
in the Malay war in 1873. Bolivia and
Peru entered the treaty during their
civil wars of 1879 to 1881.
In the early Transvaal war the
Beers, without being in the treaty,
lived up to its highest precepts.
Civil wars are usually considered
the most cruel and yet, singularIy, the
CarIist war in Spain was said to have
been exempt from cruelties; doctors
and nurses we're respected, prisoners
were well treated and even the wound
ed insurgents were set a. liberty at
PampeIuna. Spain has always regard
ed its Red Cross and even in the
height of the 5panish-American war
sent fits official testimonial of regard
to the president Of the Red Cross Of
America.
