ssoa.oOO,oeo In Denver Mint

Securely lOc.lsl in the vaults of the
Denver Mint there is $500, OOO.oO Ill
gold and silver coin and bullion. says
the Denver Mining Record. The nor
NAL amount on hand has usually been
about $50. 600. 600. but within the past
six months there has secretly been re-
ceivcd from the San Francisco subtrcas'
ury gold coin 10 the enormous amount
of S2a5. 600. 600. thus making the Denver
mint the st0rehouSc for Il large share of
Uncle Sans treasure.
Ii is the announced intention of the
secretary of the treasury at Washington
that Denver is to be made 4 central
point for the storage of government
gold and silver.
Through Il system of express ship
ments, S~afeguarled by perfect secrecy,
the government last August began
sending large amounts of gold coin
from the San Francisco sub.treasury.
\ shipment Of $1,000. 600 was secretly
received here last August.
The treasure WAS in charge OF United
States Marshal Elliott of san Francisco,
Il number of deputy rnarshals and 20
Wells-Fargo messengers. sworn i'll for
the special duty. The shipments have
continued, and the last, amounting to
500. 600. 900. was received and rerripted
for by +. NJ. Downer. superintendent OF
the Denver mint, . few days ago.
The report of shipments because OF
danger OF war is denied by Secretary OF
the Treasury Cortelyou. The secretary
gives as the reason for the transfer that
the San Francisco mint is over-supplied
and Denver has been chosen rs 4 point
Of storage on account of its excellent
system of vaults and To relieve the con
! geStion on the coast.
Superintendent Downer of the Den
yer mint said that it was obvious that
the greatest secrecy should be main
tanned in connection with the ship
ments on account of temptation Il
holdups.
This is the largest transfer Of gold il
! the history of the country.

Was II Ghost Of Rrnther7

Miss lsla Stewart, for 81 years ma.
tron OF st. Bartholomew's hospital.
London, recently told this story at n
public dinner given In her honor:
Some years ago, In one Of her wards,
lay a little boy who was dying OF hip
disease. He was an orphan with only
one brother, a sailor then serving
on a British warship in Chinese wa.
tiers. One morning the boy told her
that he had had such a happy night. as
he had dreamed that his brother was
with him at his bedside. When the
night nurse came to report she said
that she had had n curious experience.
When looking along the ward during
tho night she had been astonlshed 10
see n sailor In the ward beside the
boys bed. R~esentlng the intrusion,
she had gone to the bed to inquire Into
the matter. when she found there was
nobody there. Twice afterward dur.
Ing the night she had scon the same
apparltion. At last she turned down
the gas and altered the position of
some plants. After that she did not
see the sailor again.

The Change OF Time

\ good deal has been said lately
about using railroad time in town. The
argument in favor of the change is that
the use of two different standards Gre
atcs confusion. When the argument is
carefully considered. there is very little
confusion has arisen since the Southern
Pacific adopted mountain time and
there is 10 reason for believing that the
use Of the same time by the Western
Pacific will 50 confuse people that they
will not be able to attend to their bust
hess in rs good shape us they do now.
Yesterday we We're interviewed by
two prominent men o. the town who
were very much opposed to the change.
In the conversation. one of them re-
marked that when the Oregon Short
Lines lease of the Southern Pacific ex.
PRED. the latter would change back to
Pacific time. If this should occur. the
Western Pacific would ulSr change and
that of course would compel the people
of ElkO 70 make the same change. The
| result would be more confusion than
ever.
We understand that the district court
will continue to use Pacific time and
that most. if not all. of the county Off
cialS will do the same. So far Us tho
INDEPENDENT is concerned, it has III
! fault TO find with Pacific time. Ii i,
nearer sun time than mountain time
Ii anyone in town is 80 permeated by
the spirit Of change that he mus
follow every fad that comes along, lei
him 20 it and keep any old time he
wants To. No one will bcgrudge him
this privilege. Neither will IN,
follower of the present order bc Offended
if he is referred 10 rs an old fOgy
He will simply remember the sourc,
and let it go AT that.
Until some goJl reason IS shown fo
the change of standards. the INDEpEN
DENT will jog along the best it cal
under Pacific time. If that is not fas
enough for our neighbors, they can Z,
faster.

JUST A womAN's L,rrLE JOKE.
How It led to a Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty. one CT Brat

planned and enacted a joke: now she
Is the defendant in an action at law.
while the society of that Vermont city
is awaiting with glee the outcome OF
the affair. says the Boston Post

ed a little diversion 10 distract him
from the righteousness of SO busy a
summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
of work beside him that promised to
keep him In his Office into the wee
small hours of the night. the telephone
ut his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice OF Mrs. Gatty, one Of his &C
quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared TO
be greatly o~verwrought and explained
that a dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of a sum OF
money, that the alleged swindler had
left a handbag behind, and would Mr..
Hooker come up Immediately and open
the bag and discover, II possible, the
identity OF the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and fastened up to Mrs.
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley t-c lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
yellow emon. Then the lignt broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from different
recesses Of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt thai the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received 4
bill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous ~revenEe
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill a pigeonholed.

Candelaria Shipping Again

Candelaria, the once famous camp, is
again on the shipping list. This week
the Potosi Mining Company of Nevada
made IL shipment of 10 tons of ore to
the srncltcr ut Bingham Junction, Utah,
says the Nina Miner. For about a
year this company has had Il force Of
men busily engaged in r%copcning this
famous old property, and the shipment
made this week is to he followed up
with others right along. The spur from
the main line to the camp has been put
in good condition and it is not probable
the rails will rust again soon. In the
past ore running 5000 ounces of silver
and $3.50 in gold to the ton has been
taken out and there is today thousands
Of tons on the dumps that will average
S12 to S15. 1t looks as if il was again
to become a dividend produced.

Increasing Mineral Entries

That confidence in Nevada mines and

shown by the extraordinary number of
final mineral applications lile.! this
month for U. S. patents. Up to date
rs final mineral entries have been made
by Register l.. J. Cohn since the first
day Of December involving Il payment
to the land Office by applicants Of nearly
thirty shousand dollars. This is an
increase Of about three hundred per
cent over what was made during the
month Of December of last year. There
is probably no other land Office in the
United States that has ever cqualled
this record. 1t also speaks volumes for
tho mining interests Of Nevada.

Accidental Deaths

y recent report of the department of
commerce and labor indicates hat be-
tween 30. 900 and b, 600 wOrkmcn lose
their lives in the curse of their employ
mcnt in the United States each year,
says Bradstrcct's Census reports
covering the years 1900 to 1906 show
that out of over 1000, 900 deaths of
males more than . per cent were due TO
accident, and a large proportion of
these deaths were due to causes more
or less related t. the occupations of
the injured persons. OF persons
employed in factories and workshops
probably the most exposed class
are the workers in iron and steel. In
miscellaneous steel and iron work i'll
Pennsylvania, for ten years, the fatal
accident rate was l.3 per 1000, and
among nut and bolt workers "a per
loco. The c"thrNrito ,"ineS Of Penn.
%Svlvania have averaged BIB fatal
accidents per 1000 for the same period,
while the death rate from accident in
the British coal mines has beer only
l.29 per 1000. The death rate among
railway train men, rs shown by the
reports of the interstate commerce com
mission, WAS 7.lG per 1000 employees.
The death rate among electricians is
exceptionally high. One of the matters
which should come in for discussion in
dealing with industrial accidents is us
to the possibility of adopting rcgulativ,
measures which will reduce the number
and the seriousness Of those mishaps.
