 MT Hearst asserts that Governor Hughes's sole claim to public esteem is his opposition to race track gam bling-one lone service rendered the people set over again how many, many to the corporations" MT Hearst seems to be as reckless in his attack upon Hughes as he is in his charges against Bryan But he is very careful not to seriously attack Taft, merely referring to him as Roosevelt's "overgrown messenger boy.'' Members of the independence league are beginning to realize MT Hearst's motive which is clearly pro- Taft, as is proven by the considerable number who are repudiating his vest pocket presidential ticket.-Bridge. port Farmer.
 John Zett, whom the state of Con- necticut has sentenced to hang next December, may be classed as an ordi- nary murderer. That Is, he is no Thaw. No experts testified to his in- sanity and no alienists came to his defense. He killed his little child with an axe, butchered his wife and then tried to kill his grown up son. How many more he would have killed If he had not been stopped, is not known. He was arrested, tried, found guilty-and ignorant-and sentenced to die. Would the process and its re- suits have been the same If he had been a millionaire? Perhaps. At any rate there is distinct difference between the way the law is admins tered In Connecticut and in New York.-Ansonia Sentinel.

 The disaster to the air ship of Or vile Wright in which the inventor was badly wounded and his com panion killed is felt keenly in Wash ington where the experiments were being made. The official test was to have been made this week and MT Wright and the officials of the war department as well as the crowds who have daily attended the trial flights were confident that the aero plane would easily pass all of the tests. It lies now in the shed where 1t had been kept, a mass of broken wires, splintered wood and torn mus lin. Lieutenant Selfridge, who &C., companied MT Wright, is dead and Mir Wright with broken leg, sev- eral broken ribs and many bruises, is lying in the Army hospital at Fort Myer in the suburbs of the city, still unaware that his companion in the flight was killed. Of course every one has reason why the pro- pelIer should have broken and why the machine should have fallen bus it takes little technical knowledge to see that when flying machine gets anything wrong with its machinery while in air it has but one thing to do and that is to obey the laws of gravity and reach the earth by the shortest line. When an automobile stalls on a hill 1t may be annoying but it is not dangerous. When a flying mechanism fails 1t is not only dangerous but probably fatal. This fact postpones by many years the time when flying machines will be useful either for war or transporta- tion and before that time it will doubtless demand heavier vital toll than those who have already fallen victims to the experiments. Lieutenant Selfridge was clever promising young man of 26. He had for several years taken the keenest interest in all airships and had made many ascensions. He was also the inventor of some of the parts of the Baldwin dirigible balloon and was fearless in experimenting with them.

The presidents letter to a friend
 in Montana as well as later epistles which has been published far and wide throughout the country, sug- gests that the republican party fears it may lose big portion of the la,
 bor vote, and that the electoral vote in several heretofore republican states may go to the democrats. The writing of political letters by presi- dents, in behalf of the candidates whom they wished to succeed them, has few if any precedents in Ameri- can history, but MT Roosevelt Is an iconoclast as regards precedents and it is predicted by many that he will not stop with writing letters, but will take the stump in person for his candidate. The whole country knows that he favors the election of MT Taft and the president is not a man who will let CT dare not wait upon I would" The president discusses the candidates attitude to- ward reforms, railroad and trust and labor organizations, and he says: There is no fight for decency and fair dealing which I have waged in which I have not had his heartiest and most affective sym. pathy and policies as we'll as mine. =

CTS tell what they think of the Unit ed States consular service. On the average, their opinions coincide pret- ty closely with the more or less vague ideas popularly held as to the efi- ciency of our consuls and their re- ports; if they afford any surprise. 1t is that the service Is given so high rating. These views are of special interest to the iron and steel indus try, as they are very largely the ex- pressions of those connected with the steel trade, either directly or indi- rectly. One of the noteworthy facts developed by this symposium Is the limited circulation and lack of ap- preciation of the Daily Consular and Trade Reports. Although practically all the concerns interviewed are in- terested in the export trade, less than 65 per cent receive these reports and only about 40 per cent have followed up the foreign trade opportunities" there regularly presented. These letters can hardly be considered an enthusiastic endorsement of the ser vice as 1t exists to-day, but they do indicate unmistakably that, with its growing influence, 1t is making rapid progress in the right direction and Is proving of considerable value in the struggle for wider foreign mar kets. The German agent of an Amer ican manufacturing house declares our service now superior to that of Belgium and of France, but still in ferior, in points of results produced, to the German service, where special commercial agents are attached to the consulates.

From all quarters come signs of anxiety in republican ranks. MT Bryan is forcing the fighting and his opponents are hard hit. So much so that there was talk of removing Republican Campaign Manager Hitchcock. He is not aggressive enough to suit the candidate who is running on the "my policies plat form. Taft at last accounts had given the word that Hitchcock must stay No doubt he has in mind that old saying about changing horses crossing a stream, so Hitchcock will continue to manage.

The calamity howlers are busy these days sure enough, and If they keep it up until election day the poor voter will be in quandary, if he is not already. Republican papers and republican officials are doing every thing in their power to throw scare into voters and make them think that the country Is going to the dogs If the democrats elect Bryan. These voters have heard this thing before and they have their eyes open now. They know what a panic is without being told. They know they are just passing through the worst one on record, and they know, too, that the democrats had nothing to do with bringing it on. That is why they have tired of republican rule and are turning to the democratic party for relief. It is surely coming this fall, too, and that is why the republican campaign committee has gone into the calamity bowling business. That is why factories and other places are being posted with scare notices and threats like the following which is being sent broadcast:

 Not so that you can notice 1t, MT Editor. He is not so speeches. but that he can lay it all over Roosevelt and Taft, so much so that both of them are on the run and seekers for clubs with which to combat him.

Celebrated Eureka a SHINING Star.

The usual steady production record
has been maintained by the celebrated
Eureka mine in Prosser gulch. This
mine is owned by John C. Jenkins and
is operated entirely on the leasing sys-
tenn. The property is noted for numer-
Gus high-grade finds that have been
made at various points in the workings.
Not long since pocket was uncovered
carrying values in gold so high that one
coald hardly realize the richness of the
ore. The ordinary values of the mill
dirt average, first grade, about $50 and
the second grade varies from $40 to $50.
The sorted ore runs several hundred
dollars to the ton.
Several parties have been trying to
purchase this rich producer and it was
frequently reported during the latter
part of last year that it had been sold.
These reports were not well founded. 1t
appears that the owner knows good
thing when he sees it and has no inten-
tion of selling the Eureka unless he can
get what it is worth. VIM. Bray is
superintendent and also handles the
brakes. He is in position to keep well
in touch with what goes on on the sur
face and is pretty much alive to what is

of very high grade. The property is
owned by the Cover Mines Syndicate.
A force of twenty men or more has
been retained throughout the year, the
property being worked entirely on COM
pany account and no ground is leased.
Monthly shipments have averaged about
fifty tons of smelling ore and between
forty and fifty tons of concentrates.
Several times during the past year bod
les of ore were struck carrying values
ranging from $3.50 to over s4OO to the
ton. The Cover Syndicate is thinking
of putting in heavier plant of mach
inery and sinking deeper for new
ground. The shaft is now down 1850
feet. AS depth is attained the values
in the ores increase in gold, the silver
values diminishing. This condition is
exactly what is wanted at the present
when the panic is on and silver is down
and gold, of course, continues as the
standard metal. The Running Lode has
been under the expert management of
Thomas Dunstone for several years and
the results he has met with speak we'll
for his ability as mine manager.

Fisk mine, when operated separately,
paid dividends for years.
The crosscut to the Bobtail, which
was driven 200 feet, opened up an
eight-foot vein Of the richest ore that
has ever been found on the Bobtail
since the sixth level was passed This
Crosscuts are now being run to cut
the New Jersey, Gregory and other
veins and as soon as the Gregory vein
is reached sinking of the shaft will be
resumed. 1t is the inrention of the
management to sink the shaft to a
depth of 1000 feet. The object in ac-
quiring this depth is to enable them to
make an output of at least 1000 tons
daily, and as the ore values at the
present time show an increase as depth
is attained, this property promises to
be one Of the largest and richest pro
ducers in the country.

he has been for the purpose of order
ing two large electric pumps, which

will drain all the mines of the company
which are now drained through the in
cline. This will mean a remarkable
saving to the Fifty company, as at the
present time it is necessary to carry
the steam through 1,S00 feet of pipe,
which causes great loss of power, to
the incline pump. These new electric
pumps will have a capacity Of 300 gal
Ions per minute and will throw suffi.
cient water to keep all the properties
dry. The electrical power will be sup
piled for the pumps by the Georgetown

GiIpin County Chamber Of Commerce.

The Gilpin.C County Chamber of Com
merce was organized two years ago, and
since that time has taken very active
part in all the business and mining in
terests of the county.
Its work has covered every section of
the county and phase of it's industry.
Every section of the county has been
visited by committees this last year to
assist different persons in explaining
about the mining industry and inform
ing the unacquainted with the resources
of Gilpin county.
A large amount of direct inquiries
have been made to the Chamber of
Commerce necessitating great deal of
work to get correct information con-
cerning the property in question. We
have been assisted greatly by our min
ing and business men in acquiring this
information. The number of letters
written in reply to these queries and to
get the required information is 5S5 since
March 1st, '07, this is exclusive of other
correspondence relative to the work of
the chamber
We have been instrumental in leasing
several properties this past year, get
ting in touch with the owner and OBJ
tanning favorable terms for the lessee.
Property has been better protected
the past year THAN in some time past;
1900 reward notices have been posted
up, and with the assistance of the dis
trict attorneys office two convictions
secured and rewards paid.
The benefit of having an organization
was very apparent last summer when
we secured the prompt delivery of the
U. S. mails IL to 20 hours ahead of the
government schedule.
Also when the coal famine threatened
to drown and shut down our mines dur
ing the strike of the trainmen last sum-
mer, number of men who meant bust
ness went down and brought up all five
engines could pull of supplies and coal.
The railway officials seeing we meant
business kept US better supplied than
any other city on this division during
the remainder of the strike.
To the mining promoters our influence
has been most patent, those who have
had occasion to call upon US have found
us ready and willing to help them to the
best of our ability at any and all times,
and best of all the predictions made by
the men composing these committees
are being more than fulfilled.
Finally the year 1908 finds US and our
properties in general in much better
condition than 1907, with the present
outlook 1908 should be one of the best
years in production that the county has
ever had.

The largest proposition in the county
under active operation is the properties
OF the Fifty Gold Mines Corporation
whose holdings consist of fiftyfour pat
ented claims and mill sites on Gregory
and Bobtail hills. This corporation in
January, 1907. raised the capitalization
and during the month of August per-
fected arrangements and the working
of the mines was commenced on a
larger scale than the mines had ever
been worked before. Sinking was
commenced and the Cook shaft which
was down 1900 feet was sunk an addl-
tional depth of 100 feet, from which
depth crosscuts have been run, cutting
the Mammoth. Fisk and Bobtail veins,
opening up pay ore in large quantities.
This ore encountered is at the present
time being blocked out ready for ship
ment. Every foot OF drifting on the
above veins shows increasing ore val
ues.
The Mammoth, as the name implies,
is the largest vein on the property and
where 1t was tapped by the crosscut.
Judging from the values found in the
levels directly above, which were very
low, 1t was thought by the manage
ment that drifting would be done be-
fore striking the ore body. But the
crosscut coming directly into the ore
body goes on to prove that the ore
shoots not only extend down, but in.
crease In size as greater depth is
reached.
On the Fisk a six-foot vein has been
