Cleveland, Ohio. May 11-Aside from
O few minor disturbances the street
car strike situation, today, bore no
evidence Of violence, while the service
given by the Municipal Traction Co.,

was hurt.

MINES DESTINED
TO BE GREAT

Grangevil1e Globe: Chas. w. Green
ough, county superintendent of public
instruction, returned Saturday noon
from trip to Elk City and Orogrande,
where he went to visit the schools of
those two mining camps. He found
both institutions in very fiourishing
condition and speaks highly of the ex-
cellent standard in school work main
tanned by both schools.
eek City certainly has very bril-
liant future, as far as can see, " said
Mr., Greenough. 'The mines of that
locality are going to be big producers
some day. The Buster mine is being
worked every day and numerous other
properties in that vicinity are also being
developed steadily. Business seems tc
be good in Elk. Both the hotels are
crowded and / understand large addi-
ton to one is to be built soon. Orc
'grande. too, is looking up. Work OF
the immense Hogan property, it is re
ported, is to begin soon. While at Orc
grande l saw some of the richest ore
samples / have ever seen and it is my
opinion that both Elk City and Orc
grande are destined to become some
thing big in the way of famous golt
camps at sometime in the near future.

THE HUNGER
FOR GOLD
More Acute Now Than at Any
Time in Human History.
MONEY TO GOLD CAMPS
Drop in Base Metals Helps
Gold Camps.
MONEY TO GOLD CAMPS

San Francisco Mining and Scientific
Press: Our Denver correspondent refers
the increased activity at Cripple Creek,
and to the numerous new leases granted
on mines in that district by reason of
an influx of miners from Nevada and
Utah. This is one manifestation Of the
fact that the depression in the prices of
the base metals has tended to enhance
the attractlveness of gold mining. Un-
questionably profitable gold mine is
the most desirable of all enterprises to-
day, for the owner of it can turn his
product into coin by sending the metal
to the nearest mint, so that he is inde-
pendent of banks, and even of smelters,
if his ore be docile to stamp milling or
cyanidation. He pays for his labor and
supplies with the metallic product of
the mine. and this product has a fixed
value, in terms of the monetary unit,
while being actually enhanced as relates
to the amount of it exchanged in the
purchases Of labor or machinery re-
quired for the operation of the mine.
We expect to see an intensified interest
in gold mining, and notable stimulus
given to the metallurgy of refractory
gold ores. The hunger for gold is more
acute today than at any time in human
history.

RESUME WORK

The Major is owned by Mike Bagley

George v. Harrington, of Spokane. 1t
is good prospect. The ledge has been
exposed on the surface for distance
of 300 feet; two shafts have been sunk,
one 35 feet and the other 65 feet. The

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
A Little Talk on the Matter Of Paying
Your Subscription.

Publishers of weekly news
papers throughout the United
States have received notice from
the postoffice department that
papers cannot longer be sent to
subscribers who owe on sub
scription longer than one year.
There are a number Of subscrib-
ers taking Mining News who are
affected by the new ruling. The
time is short the publishers are
given to collect back accounts.
To a number of our delinquents
we have sent statements, but the
greater number Of the accounts
have already been placed in the
hands of a good. reliable collec-
tion agency. We hated to do it,
but business is business, you
know, and besides, Uncle Sam
tells us to hurry. We expect to
hear from people who have no
recollection of ever having sub
scribed for the paper, but we call
the attention of such persons to
a ruling by the U. S. supreme
| cOl1rt &c follows.
Taking a periodical from the
postoffice is prima facie evidence
that the person so taking is a
subscriber, unless the periodical
is marked sample copy or
marked copy.''
In this connection it might be
we'll to mention a new ruling that
was put into effect by Mining
News recently. The publisher
has found by experience that
it is not best, and far from good
business practice, to permit him.
self to be under obligations
for more than a year to a reader
who takes the paper without
paying for it. Our ruling is that
we drop the name from the list
when the subscription expires
unless we know positively tha,
the subscriber wants the paper
to continue coming, and will pay
for it., Again we remind yol
this is business, and no reflection
on the credit of the subscriber.

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Lee Kay, Box Sing and Rest Of Celestidls
Hold a Great Pow-wow.

Lee Kay, Box Sing, Sleepy and
the rest of the local sons of the
orient have been celebrating for
several days the beginning of a
new year. 1t hasn't been diff
cult to understand that something
very unusual has been taking
place down at. "washee" head
quarters. All the boys in town
have been called in to help the
celebration and, the amount of
powder and noise would put to
shame the most patriotic celebra-
tion of the American Fourth of
July. The chinks have been
Froyal, hosts. The refreshments
were "dlinks" for the male adult
visitors and dandy" and nuts
for the boys and girls.
There is custom in connec-
ton with Chinese New Year that
should commend itself to people
in western nations. On the last
day of the old year the law COM
tpels everyone to settle accounts
with his creditors so as to. begin
the new year with clean ac-
count. If anyone cannot'pay the
debt is Cancelled, but there is a
great deal of feeling shown. 1t
lis considered so disgraceful to
leave a debt unpaid that the un-
lucky debtor who cannot dis
charge his pecuniary obligations
at that time is liable to be treated
with insult and injury. Among
the coarser classes they often
bear out and smash the furniture
of a debtor and annoy his family
in every possible way, and then
he cannot get any protection
. from the magistrates, no matter
how seriously he is injured, as
the fact of his not paying up cuts
Thin off from ali sympathy.
