Rich Ore In Iron Duke.

News of a good strike in the Iron
Duke, in Russell Guch, made last
week has circulated throughout the
county. 1t Is the best find made since
active work commenced on this lode.
1t was made in the east drift on the
500 and is a foot wall streak. The
ore is of a smelling grade and the
vein is two feet in width, assaying
s.s oz gold 1.3 OF silver. giving it a
value of $176.65. With this IS three
feet of mill dirt.
In the King Bee drift west on the
500 is six inches of ore that assays
1.3S OF gold, 2.3 OF silver, and is
worth $2s.25. The King Bee is be.

Ready for New Smelter.

In anticipation of the early open.
ing of the Carpenter Smelter the

ing large amounts of copper sulphide
which shows very good values. Sew

orable. In addition to this leasers

ton in freight rates. Several years
ago when the independent sampler

GunneII May Start.

w. F. Hogan was an arrival Tues
day from Cirellos, NJ NJ, for a brie
business stay. When asked If there
| was any likelihood of the Gunnell be
ing started Mr.. Hogan said that he
had nothing definite to give out
operations may be resumed within a
few months or year. From the con.
versation it is presumed that the
Gunnell will be working by the time
the Newhouse tunnel reaches the
property and at the rate the big bore
is being driven it will cut the Gun
nell within year.
The Gunnell suspended work near.
ly two years ago after equipping the
mine for extensive development and
long period Of activity. When work
was started it was supposed that
some satisfactory arrangement could
be made by the Gunnell people to
get possession of the Concrete, an
adjoining mine. For some reason
odtlSldClOTy arrangements COulQ not
be made and work came to an abrupt
stop The object in getting the Con-
crete was for additional working
ground. The Gunnell people in un-
watering their mine would have had
to unwater the Concrete as the prop
critics are connected. They did not
want to bear the expense of pumping
the Concrete water unless they could
work the mine.
With the cutting of the Gunnell by
the Newhouse the mine will be un-
watered and none of the properties
on Gunnell hill will be given further
trouble from this source. The Gun
nell has a large substantial shaft
house and the equipment is the very
best in every particular. Everything
Is in such shape that operations can
be commenced at any time with very
little preparation.

Church Anniversary. A

The Semi-Centennial celebration
of the beginning of Methodism in
| Central City, last Sunday proved to
be a great occasion and one which
has already given the church life new
energy. The day was ideal in all
ways. The weather was favorable
and the people took advantage Of it
and came out to hear the men who
had been secured to take part In
the services. In the morning DR.. B.
T. Vincent, former pastor and pre-
siding elder preached the anniversary
sermon from the text John 1887.
The sermon was up to the standard
of Mr.. Vincent's splendid reputation
as a preacher. All who heard him
were delighted and profited. Many
spoke words Of praise and apprecia-
tion of both the preacher and his
message.
In the evening there was held q
platform meeting and the Rev. James
Adriance, who preached on the occa-
sion Of the organization Of the church
July 10th, 1859, was given the place
of honor both on the program and
platform. In his address he described
his coming from Nebraska, as mis-
sionary, in a wagon which contained
his earthly effects and provision to
last for six months. On landing in
Denver he announced that there
would be preaching services on Sun
day July 3. 1859. The following week
he came to Central City and preach
ed the next Sunday afternoon in
Mountain City; and then organized
the church. He told Of the hardships
and disadvantages which were met
with in those early days. The ad-
dress was interesting and listened to
attentatively by the entire congresa-
ton. Rev. J. F. Coffman, Of Eaton
Colo, former pastor and DR.. Vim.
cent delivered addresses. A telegram
message from Rev. R. H. Forester
was read by the pastor.
The sermon, the addresses, and the
very splendid special music by the
regular church choir made the day
one Of profit and pleasure. 1t will
long be remembered as a memorial
occasion in connection with the his
tory of the church in Central City.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

That Kansas is finally being given
the recognition in the east that this
great state deserves is evident by some
editorial comment which appeared in
a New York Tribune of recent date,
brief portion of which has been print
ed heretofore in these columns. The
whole article is such a fine tribute to
this commonwealth, however, that it is
well worth reprinting in its entirety;
not simply because it is filled with high
praise of the conditions that exist in
this state but for the better reason
that such praise is based on facts which
are handled by the Tribune in a dis
corning fashion. The editorial, in ques-
ton, follows:
There used to be an impression that
Kansas was entitled to sympathy. When
a prairie schooner hove in view from the
east in those days the first thought was
that some one was moving to Kansas,
and no one was surprised to see the
same team, leaner than before, pulling
a dilapidated wagon out o. the west

ton. Today no one dares to say any,
thing against the Sunflower state be-
fore a present or past resident. for the
figures are available to prove that Kan
sas has a little the advantage of every
other section of the world.
Now comes the president of the
Kansas Association of Charities, who
has lust completed an investigation of
the conditions surrounding his work.
with the statement that in half the
counties of the state he found no pris-
oner in the jails. And as if to settle
once for all the statement that farm
life is productive of insanity, Mr.. Knapp
shows by figures that Cook county,
Illinois, furnished more insane to the
state hospitals than the total popula-
ton of all the state charitable. cor

Perhaps it might not be out of place
to add that many Kansans believe, and
not without good cause. that one of
the controlling reasons why ignorance,

Kansas has a prohibition law which is
pretty generally and most successfully
enforced. The enforcement of this law
has not done away entirely with the
consumption of alcoholic liquors on the
part of those Kansans who care for
them and who are able to secure them
through shipments from outside the
state but it has abolished the saloon
cities, and its equally iniquitous proto-
type, the joint. and in doing this much
great deal has been accomplished.

A CHRISTMAS REvERIE.

Lo! This is the dream of doubter.
Who measures by loss and by gain.
When the bells break the shadowy silence
And ring out holy refrain
Dim Judean hills in the purple
And gray of a mystical frame,
One star, like the eye of Jehovah,
Sets the Syrian skies all aflame.
A child lies asleep in the manger;
Uncover, o children of men!
For crowned is the head of Christ s
mother,
And men become children again.
Faint glimpse of Gethsemane's garden,
Gray Calvary CLEANS in the gloom,
The wall of a woman, wOe-Str1cken,
The door of desolate tomb
So mothers and children of mortals,
BY the wondrous old story enticed.
Still grieve for the son of dear Mary,
Still weep with the Mother of Christ.
Like visions of weary, wan faces,
Peering from memory's wall.
The thrice-tender tales of the Chr1St-chfld
Encompass the sum Of it all.
Creeds crumbie and fade in the telling,
But love, passing under the rod,
Still hears in the kisses of mothers,
The syllabled whisper of God.
And this was the dream Of doubter.
Who measured by Joy and by pain,
When the bells broke the sorrowful silence
And rang out a blessed refrain.

Race Test of Citizenship.

The declaration of the state depart-
ment on the subject of naturalization
OF immigrants from the Ottoman en-
plre clears up some misapprehensions
which former statesmen from other
sources have caused. though it repeats
our suggestion of the complications
and difficulties which beset the way
of. any attempt to base acceptabiIity
for naturalization on technical ethno-
ioglcai lines. instead of on personal
qualities and conditions.
Apparently the crux of the matter,
SO far as the courts Interpretation of
the naturalization statutes is con-
cerned, is the phrase white persons"
which occurs in the old naturalization
law OF 1902 and again in the revised
statute of 1875. In 1902, no doubt,
it was meant chiefly. if not entirely.
to exclude negroes In 1875 It was
confessedly meant to exclude the
Chinese, and perhaps also the Japan
csc. The question is, What is meant
at the present time by white per-
SonS?"
In the dispute over Turkish SUBJ
jects It is, of course. borne in mind
that the Ottoman empire is peculiar
ly composite The Arabs and Syrians
are undoubtedly Semitic Caucasians,
and the Armenians are as surely
Aryan Caucasians AS for the true
Turks, they were unquestionably of
Monaghan origin belonging to the
Mong olo-Tartar division of Cuvier's
Monaghan race. But for centuries
they have made a speciality of inter-
breeding with the purest Caucasians,
so that at the present time the aver
age Turk is probably far more eau
casian than Monaghan.
Unquestionably there should be
some tests of fitness for citizenship.
But if they are established on ethno-
graphic lines we shall have the ano-
maly of accepting Afghans and Abys-
sinians as Caucasian white men and
of rejecting Firms and Magyars as
Monaghan yellow men. If they are
to be established on geographical lines,
we shall see enlightened Armenians
reject as Asiatics and Polacks and
Slavonians accepted as Europeans.
The subject Is one to which the state
department, the immigration bureau,
and the courts will doubtless give the
careful and deliberate consideration
which it deserves.-New York Trib-
une.
