The heavy winds of the first of
the week caused the live wires Of
the Central Colorado Electric company
across Soda creek to come in contact
with the wires that are strung along for
protection and which are grounded at
each tower. AS a result, these live wires
for over hundred feet were illuminated
to the highest electrical effect. 1t was
most beautiful sight. The grounding
sary either to tighten the electric wires
or place the others so that contact will
be impossible. 1t is long span stretch

Mine Manager Charles n. Fuller came
down from the Wilcox tunnel this week,
returning Friday afternoon. He is in
charge of the work for Denver pool
that has a lease on block OF ground Of
the Santiago mine. Their lease is 2OOO
feet in length and 300 feet in height.
They will work it through the Wilcox
tunnel. This cuts the Commonwealth
claim but at distance of only forty
feet frem the Santiago Claim. There
is good showing of ore in the work
ngs so far, Mr.. Fuller stays up there
most of the time and will give the devel-
opment work that close and efficient at
tention that is characteristic Of him.
Considerable placer mining is now 60
ing on along Clear creek and it looks as
though this is again going to be one of
our profitable sources of mining. All
along tho creek between this city and
Floyd Hill may be seen new fumes and
working apparatus. Among those who
are thus engaged may be enumerated
Messrs. Coppard, Moscript and Griswold,
who are sinking a shaft in the western
part of the city, near the barns OF E. M.
Moscript. The company will install an
electric hoist and other couveniences
for doing the work properly. AS great
ton Of Clear Creek valley, it is expected
that this venture will prove very remun-
erative.

The Treasure Vault mine is the scene
Of considerable activity and promises to
be one Of the leading shippers of the dis
trict. The shipments that have recently
been made have been of a very profitable
nature and the different sets of leasers
have been rewarded for their labor. This
mine has been one of the standbys in
the district for many years. 1t is now
paying monthly dividends to the owners,
principal among whom is Mr.. John W.
Ward Of this city, who is also the gener-

The property is located short distance

Bishop George Oxley is looking after
the work on a group of claims belonging
to E. NJ. Moscript and located short
distance from Freeland. The group
comprises seven claims and there are
excellent ore showings in them. Mr.
Moscript's property in the Daily district
from which rich specimens of ore have
been taken, will also be worked cotinu-
ously. The veins on this property are
immense ones and, with milling facilities
close at hand, would prove very lucrative.
He will aim to enlist capital with him in
order to push the development work and
secure necessary equipments to mill the
ore. Whether he secures this or not he
will continue this work himself as he has
done in the past.

The close company that has aslease on
the Seaton mine, of which II. Il. Machol

breast OF the lateral that is being driven
from the Newhouse tunnel For some
time the workmen have been following
small streak which has suddenly in
creased to a foot in width. 1t is believed
to be the main ore shoot OF the Seaton,
from which large quantities of rich miner

While complete tests have not been made,
yet it is the opinion of those associated
in this enterprise that the values..will be
excellent.

GERS of the thirteen roads entering St
Paul with view to the early return
of the striking switchmen to work
Upon the answers received from them
hangs the immediate adjustment OF
the strike which has been on since
Nov 80.
If the roads will consent to take the
men back within a reasonable time
Frank T. Hawley, president of the
Switchmen's union, has assured the
governor that he will direct his com
mittee to abide by the Chicago a1bi-
tration, as agreed in the governor S
conference.
The governor thinks thirty days
might be reasonable with some Of the
roads which have large numbers OF
extra men hired A shorter time
might not be unreasonable with other
roads affected.
Concerning the outcome of the Chi
cago arbitration it was conceded in
the discussion before the governor
that some raise, probably not the en-
tire cents asked by the switchmen,
would be granted in the Chicago dis
trict and this the Northwestern
switchmen, under the agreement in

SIX HUNDRED KILLED IN FIGHT
Wounded Cared for by American
Naval Authorities.

Washington, Dec 22.-The disas.
trous defeat and subsequent surren.
der to Estrada of the entire army OF
Zelaya, which has been operating in
the eastern part of Nicaragua, was
announced in dispatches to the navy
department. The victorious Estra.
dams are preparing to advance on
Managua.
More than $500 men killed, wound.
ed or captured were lost to the gov.
eminent and Bluefelds has been
turned into hospital camp, manned
by Americans, to take care of the
wounded of both sides, who are com
ing into the city.
Captain Shippley of the Des Moines
in dispatch says:
''The Zelayan forces were complete.
ly routed after several hours of hard
fighting and surrendered
Generals Gonzales and Castrillo
with 1000 men, were captured, with
four field pieces, $500 rifles and l.
100000 rounds of ammunition. The
fighting of the last two days is esti-
mated to have cost 600 men killed or
wounded on both sides.
Americans Care for Wounded.
'The wounded are being brought to
Bluefields, as hospital facilities are
very inadequate. 1 have established
a hospital on shore, employing sur
geons from the Tacoma and Des
Moines, with fourteen assistants, a
commissary detachment and a gang
of carpenters. No force has been used,
as it is supposed all will be quiet 1t
is estimated that the Zelayans killed,
wounded and captured will number
$500 men,
1t is believed that Estrada will now
push on at once to Managua to Sc
cure control of the Pacific side of the
country, which is the stronghold of
the government. Although the Ze-
layan army was practically concen-
trated at Rama and the biggest part
of his forces have been captured it is
believed that Estrada may meet with
serious resistance, particularly on the
part of adherents of AIadriz, who are
numerous and have by their former
maneuvers shown their determination
to maintain their leader in the presi-
dency.
If fighting continues in Managua
and other points on the Pacific coast
it is possible that a condition of
chaos, greater than any yet reached,
will ensue

Copenhagen, Dec. 21-The Univer.

emily that the explorer had failed to

high honors had been based.
The committee appointed by the

consistory of the university, which re
viewed the deductions of the experts
with the greatest care and discussed
the findings from every standpoint.

and forget the attitude of William

John D., Jr., were in the congrega

DR.. Aked spoke on Gladstone, the

life they were equal in the devotion
to liberty and their belief in the es

and that he recalled his error with
