There promises to be large High
school attendance this year. .Gradu-
ates of Gilpin county common schools
are admitted into the Union High school
without examination.
The chorus work under Miss Sawyer
will be greatly aided by the increased
enrolment; the boys under Director
Weidman will have lot of exceedingly
promising football material; every stu
dent and teacher will feel the stimulus
of the enthusiasm of numbers, and the
year will be written down not only as
memorable one in the history of the
High school but as a year of advance
ment in the life of many boy and
girl confronted this September with the
unexpected opportunity to secure a
High school education. We trust that
every common school graduate of 1908
and every graduate of previous years
who has not been able to enroll hereto
fore may decide to enter this year.
Call at the superintendent Office Sat
urday afternoon, September 9th, and
talk over your work with Superintend-
ent Momyer and Principal Green A
definite plan and purpose are needed.
Let us help you.

Bricklayers who have been bricking
in the large boilers at the Pewabic mine
have finished their work and the same
will be ready to steam up within the
next week or two when the walls and
covering have settled. Two better boil
ers for size and strength cannot be
found anywhere. They were made by
the Stroehle boiler shops in Black Hawk
and are strong endorsement of the
high class of work turned out by this
concern. There are two boilers, each
of l25 h. p. They are supplied with the
Western furnace which makes a fuel
saving of 80 per cent. Another boiler
of the same make and horse power will
be installed at the New York mill as
soon as the Stroehle works can build it.
The installation of the boilers at the
Pewabic mines will not only increase
the power but will be the result of the
force of men employed on the proper
ties being. increased. The boiler equip
ment has been insufficient for the power
required to run the compressors and
other machinery and for that reason
only limited number of machine drills
could be used. The hoist on the Pc
wabic will be moved in few days and
new foundation will be built.
Shipments from the Pewabic, Iron
and Richardson mines are being made
regularly. This is mostly smelling ore.
On the Grasshopper two sets of lessees
are working and are ready to commence
shipping. Their ore is both milling and
smelling.

a good-sized force of men, number
ing about 10, is now employed on the
Empire mine in Moon gulch, operated
by the Siren Gold Mines company.
Sinking, which was started as soon as
the equipment was in shape for opera
ton, is still being carried on. Two
shifts are now being worked. The
driving of drifts has just been commen-
ced. Since sinking was commenced, all
the ore taken out showed good values.
This is being saved, as the company
contemplates the erection of mill near
the property in the very near future.
The Empire is supposed to be on the
same vein as the Smuggler, which is
now producing very good grade of ore
and is maintaining steady output.
Since operations were started on the
Empire in the early spring considerable
money has been expended in the cree
tion of the top buildings and other i'm
provements. A % h. p. gasoline en-
gine was recently installed and the
equipment on the mine is about the
best in the Moon gulch section.

The Troublesome on Winnebago hill
is now employing force of six men
who are taking out three ounce ore
right along. Drifting is being carried
on east and west at the l60-foot point.
All the ore has been coming from the
east l60-foo level. A shipment will be
made for the first time this week from
the west level. This looks about as
good as that in the east and it is very
likely that it will run as well. Ship
ments are made every day from the
Troublesome and these will be swelled
as soon as the west level commences to
produce. AS soon as the drifts are
driven little further, sinking will be
resumed and it is anticipated that
something very good will be opened up
with increased depth. There is not a
prospect in the county that is making a
better showing than the Troublesome,
although it has been the belief of many
that there are no values on Winnebago
hill.

KILLING OF HARTNETr.

A naval board that has been inves-
tigating the killing of Apprentice Sea-
man Hartnett of the United States
navy in the boxing contest on the Cum
berland, Jan. IS. has found that the
greatest precautions" were taken and
that "the death of the seaman was a
contingency that could not have been
guarded against We are informed
that the affair was SO well arranged
that there was even a surgeon at the
ringside; that the contestants fought
with heavy gloves ''of the regular navy
pattern" and that no serious injury
could reasonably have been expected or
even thought possible"
It does not seem to have occurred to
the board that made the inquiry that
if there had been no contest there
would have been no death as result.
1t was well known to the officers of
the Cumberland that the fight was to
take place. Most of them, in fact, were
at the ringside and vigorously eheered
the combatants. If nothing more is
done with regard to the punishment of
the men who are responsible for this
homicide, it must be taken as an indi-
cation that the administration endorses
prizefighting on our battleships.
That fight originated in a manner
that will seem curious to laymen. Hart
nett was a new man in the service, I'M
accustomed to discipline, and one day
he refused to obey an order given him
by petty officer. Now the general i'm
preston is that it is the duty of a sea-
man or a soldier to obey the orders of
his superiors, whether they be petty or
commissioned officers. The only way
this petty officer seemed to have been
able to enforce his authority was to
engage in a prize fight with the man.
who had to fight him.
1t would seem that the normal pro-
cedure would have been to place the
man under arrest, to discipline him in
such a way that he would understand
he had to obey orders. The rule of brute
force in the navy or in the army would
very quickly destroy discipline and
impair the efficiency of the service.
The secretary of the navy or the pres
ident should take steps at once to pre-
vent any prizefights in the navy that
may be scheduled for the future. In
nearly all of the states such contests
are prohibited by law. We see no rea-
son why the federal authorities should
encourage them.

TEN NEW COMMANDMENTS.

A New York bank that has suffered
TO some extent through the populations
of some employees has framed ten COM
mandments, and placed them in the
hands of all of its people. The en-
ployes have been notified that any in
fractions of the commandments will
be considered sufficient reason for i'm
mediate discharge. The rules are 50
good that employers generally might
adopt them with profit, not only to
themselves. but TO their employees.
We quote:
You must not drink any intoxicants
with meals in public restaurants.
You must not enter any saloon.
You must not enter any gambling
house.
You must not enter any pool room.
you must not visit any race track.
You must not enter any bucket
shops.
You must not speculate.
You must not attend prize fights.
You must not have vicious compan-
ions.
You must not frequent Broadway re-
sorts or become conspicuous where the
the great white lights blaze"
Now, employees. as fast as they are
taken on, are told of these rules and
given to understand that they must not
be violated. Drinking and gambling
have brought ruin to more homes and
want into more households than all of
the wars and pestilences since the
world began. They have sent more
men to the penitentiaries and reforma-
tories than any other evils. The surest
way to avoid becoming enslaved by
them is to avoid them altogether.
This is preaching. but it is a preach
ment Of sound doctrine. No banker
viii willingly keep in his service a man
who is known TO be drunkard or a
gambler. This because the man v no is
dissolute in his habits is more apt to
steal than the man who is not dissolute,
and because depositors in banks do not
feel as secure when they have reason
to believe that employees of the bank
are dissipated, as they do when those
employees lead clean lives The bank
that employs men who drink and gam
BILE takes d chance not only of losing
money directly by the populations of
the employe, but by a lack of conf
dence in the bank itself.

The revolution was scarcely over; but
even then, in that quiet corner of Mas

stirring. and its first result was to
precipitate a violent church quarrel.
Deacon Colman had scruples against
slavery and he expressed them with
vigOr, and not always with entire re-
spect for his slave-OWning pastor. He
was suspended; there were meetings,
discussions, appeals and denunciations,
and only at the death of Mr. Parsons
was he so far softened as TO admit,
while yet maintaining his principles,
that he had urged them with undue
"vehemence and asperity." He was
then restored TO the church and his Of

THE RURBIDeE CASE.

Mayor Bransford is quoted by mis-
friends as saying that it is not his de-
sire to make a political machine out of
the Salt Lake police department. 1t
is said he merely wants to make it
an effective organization for the pre-
vention of vice and the punishment
of criminals The information is Civ
en- out, further, that the mayor labored
under a misapprehension when he
asked Captain Burbidge for his resig-
nation.
He had been informed that the cap
tain was a disorganizing influence in
the department, and that it was neces-
sary, in the interest Of the harmonious
conduct OF that most important branch
of the city government, to bring about
his removal Nobody who is familiar
with the affairs of the department
and nobody who sincerely desires to
maintain it at a high standard Of ef-
ficiency, is DESTROYS of removing Cap
tain Burbidge. The movement TO GUST
him had its origin in politics, pure and
simple.
His place was sought for a partisan
of the dominant party, and the only
excuse that has been or can be ser
iously alleged for the displacement of
this officer, is that he is not active in
the politics of the American" party.
For that matter, he is not active in
the politics of any party, and never
has been. The fact that Burbidge
has been on the force for close to twen-
ty years continuously, serving under
administrations of various shades of
politics, and under executives of many
types. seems to US a sufficient indica-
tion that he has attended to his duties.
And now there is no general demand
for mis- removal. We do not believe
that a majority of the American
party, or. rather, majority of the per-
sons who elected the American" tick
ct at the last election, desire his remov-
al It is much to be hoped that Mayor
Bransford, before he presses the mat
ter further. viii consult the business
his investigations to members of the
American" party, so that they be
citizens of standing and good repute.
We should be sorry, however. for him
to take the ADVICE of men who make a
living of politics and who do nothing
from one end of the year to the other
except NEEDLE with partisan affairs.
Captain Burbidge has announced that
he will not hand in his resignation, and
he is correct i'm taking this attitude.
If the opposition TO him knows of any
thing in his record that viii justify his
removal and can prove that before an
unbiased court, The Herald will be
glad to join in the demand for his
removal But it is perfectly obvious
that there is nothing in the captains
record TO justify his discharge from the
service If there had been, it would
have been brought forward long ago.
We would like very much to see the
wrangling and jangling in the police
department stopped. We believe Chief
Pitt is making an honest effort to inn
prove conditions. We believe that il
he was left alone he would not think
of removing Captain Burbidge. He
should have the absolute. final author
ity in all matters pertaining to the de-
partment. The appointing power should
be his. It is difficult to see how any
sort of discipline can be otherwise
