from the eager consciousness OF our
people that in him they have leader
who embodies all The high traditions OF
New England Republicanism. calm, dis
passionate. restrained and resolute.
The sentiment of New England Repub-

the hothouse growth. No clique has

Geyser Mine Reopened.

The deepest mining shaft in Colo
rado, that of the Geyser mine at Silver
Clif, is once more in use. 1t is over
2.l00 feet in depth, was equipped with
an expensive plant of machinery and
passed one ore vein after another
without halting to drift or make spe-
cial effort to ship ore. The lode is OF
high grade silver-lead variety with
some gold. The company proceeded
for some years under spiritualistic di-
rection but never held a place in the
dividend list. although money for de-
velopment was never stinted.
President Isaac c. Atkinson of the
Geyser Silver Mining Company, which
is now in possession of the Geyser
property, arrived at Silver Cliff from
Boston recently accompanied by his
son. and put a force of sixteen men to
work the number being increased to
twenty-five since. The work of clean
ing up the great plant of machinery
and putting it in shape to run, relay
ing the floors in the boiler room. dig
ging trench and building fiume to
carry the water. etc. is in progress,
and the raising of water will soon be
commenced.

Cripple Creek Tunnel.

All previous records for breaking
ground in he deep drainage tunnel were
broken February 14th, when the bore
was advanced twelve feet two inches.
The first round of shots under the Carl
ton contract was fired a week ago to-
day, and in the six days, including Fri
day, fifty-five feet had been driven. The
tunnel, prior to commencement of work
on the present contract, had been driv-
en- LABS feet. The contract calls for
$50 feet month, but Superintendent
McIlwee expects to advance 300 feet in
the first thirty days and $50 1t

news FROM THE MINES AND MILLS
Cripple Greek Samplers.

One OF the strongest features con
nected with the mining revival that
has been in progress throughout the
district for the past four months says
a Cripple Creek correspondent, is the
immense amount OF Work that - no"
being done at the various samplers III
the district 1t is probably true thal
the maximum capacity OF those Hills
has not for several years been SO iuliS
taxed TO feep pace with ore produc-
Iion. II is true that the total crush
ing limits of the three samplers Is
equal to the absorption OF a very large
daily tonnage. During the last four
or five weeks more ore has been
sampled at the local mills than for sew
eral years Immediately past. In fact
il is quite likely that at no time since
the mills were built were SO many
cars OF ore assembled at one time on
the sidetracks in the mill yards. TINS
is especially the case at the Eagle
sampling works. on Battle mountain,
where within the past two weeks more
than eighty cars OF ore have been
awaiting treatment
Proportionately heavy business also
has been done at the Taylor & Brun-
ton and Cripple Creek sampling works
on the south slope OF Bull hill, not far
from the Eagle mill There also Is
every reason to predict that the pres
ent large output of all grades OF ore
will keep all the samplers busy almost
to their full capacities until the end
of the year at least.
specific cause for the large in
crease in ore production is due i'll ma
terial measure to the fact that for sew
eral years a grade of ore that was
too low grade from the commercial
point OF view had been blocked out in
mines in all parts OF the district. but
could not be shipped at profit be-
cause the treatment rates at the cy-
anide mills were prohibitive of net
profits. The recent reduction in treat
ments costs has brought that class OF
values into the market, and as the
average cost of breaking ore in many
of the mines where il occurs in large
bodies is less than it ordinarily would
be for the reason thai it is already in
shape to be broken without expense
Of heavy preliminary work, there will
be good profits assured as a rule on
the big tonnages of low grades that
are now being mined.

Portland's Big Shipments.

Twelve carloads daily OF ore that
averages $22 per ton are being hoisted
from the Portland mine and shipped
to that company's mill at Colorado
City. The total daily output from the
Portland is approximately 300 tons.
But that tonnage does not fully ac-
count ,or the total production of the
great property, as a good percentage
of its higher grade ore has for years
been sent to the smelters.
According to the annual report OF
the Portland directorate, issued a few
weeks ago. development work at the
lowest level of the Enthusiastically
1,500. 1,400 and 1900 feet vertically
has shown the existence OF fine com
mercial ore shoots. These bodies have
been explored only superficially in a
mining sense, but within the next few
month; probably will be opened up to
such an extent that number of big
slopes will be well under way. The
major portion of the daily shipments
now come from comparatively lower
levels.

Worry has never been known to benefit
anyone; on the contrary. it always Injuries
by sapplng the nervous energy and robbing
the body of the strength necessary to any
degree OF happiness in life.
If woman allows worry to take hold of
her she finds it extremely difficult TO over
come the habit 1t so presses down upon her
life that usefulness vanishcs and she becomes
morbid ultra-sensltivc creature of little
use To either herself or others.
Worry brings in its train the tagged brain,

of lassitudc and premature loss Of youth
