Sam McGinnis does not believe in
hunting ducks with brass band. :.
When he has anything to do he just
goes at it in that quiet and determin-
ed manner that accomplishes the OBJ
ject. This Is characteristic of him
both in his private business affairs
and in public matters. AS chairman
of the Streets and Alleys committee
ably assisted by Messrs. Miller and
Cassatt, he is pushing many improve
ments. There is plenty Of room for
this and one will observe it as he
passes down some Of the alley ways.
The latest news in reference to
the foot suspension bridge across
Clear Creek is most encouraging. One
of the aldermen expressed the BELIEF
that 1t would soon materialize. The
further information is given that Mr..
w. E. Renshaw, following out his
characteristic enterprise, would place
at the disposal of the council supply
of cable for this purpose. A place that
will help itself by taking a pride in
its home conditions will sooner or
later find others from the outside
taking a proper interest in its welfare
II one wants to see a good job Of
road cleaning and repairing let him
drive along Simpson Boulevarde from

see it. Uncle Tom Woodward and his
rnderstudy, John Joseph. have been
doing the artistic work and they are
just as tickled over it as are the res
idents along the drive. At the next
meeting of the council of Spion kopJe
it is the intention of the mayor Of that
suburb of Idaho Springs to ask the
suburban council to change the name
of the Boulevarde to Summit Avenue.

results obtained in less than a week
were very encouraging to the opera

as the result of the first clean up. This
is a good showing and is only pre-

The north side of the Mixsell dam
came near succumbing to the raging
torrents of Clear and Chicago Creeks
on Saturday and only promptness and
hard work kept it from going out.
Had this been the case several build
ings along the north side Of the creek
would have been undermined and con-
siderable damage done. Spiles were
driven and the current turned SO as
to prevent further washing out.

The filing cases for the mineral ex-

soon as the card system is arranged,
the work of getting items of imforma-

nies will begin and they will be clas-
sified. 1t is hoped that when this in
formation is asked for it will receive
prompt attention. The committee
wants the name of every mining COM
pany in this section, it's officers, proc
erty holdings, development and other
items pertaining thereto. Detailed
statement of what is desired will be
furnished the different companies so
that the officers will know just what
is wanted. By compiling such inform
alton, complete mining directory
will be at hand which will be valu-
able.

Chales o. Harmon needs no airship
with which to fly. All he has to do ID to
flap his hands and soar. All this buoy
ancy and hilarity is due to great big
strike in the upper workings of the
Syndicate mines at Dumont of which he
is generalissimo. On Thursday the
miners broke into a large rich streak of
chloride ore that shows tangible values
OF $44.60 per ton. Next Monday Al. E.
Straub will draw the lines over one of
his big four-horse teams and begin
hauling the ore from the mine to the
Chamberlain Dillingham; sampler in
this city. Charley Harmon is hustler
and rustler and he has put in his time
most industriously on this mining prop
osition. His friends are glad to see
fortune smiling in his face and in the
faces of those whom he so faithfully
represents.

The fable of the goose that laid the
golden egg daily has not been dupli-
Gated in reality in these more practi-
cal days. but there has been an ap-
proach in that direction in our sister
city of Georgetown. A lady, while
dressing a hen, recently found sever
al nuggets of gold in its craw. The
gold was taken to a jeweler and dis
posed of. The scribe of these columns
was in Georgetown on Monday and
tried to buy few hen gold mines but
the market was too high. hen is
pretty good gold mine when she lays
eggs at forty to fifty cents a dozen
but when it comes to throwing In a
few additional nuggets then she be-
comes a treasure vault.

most accurate and the most effective

the bulk of his camera, he cannot pos
sibly carry a gun in any position to be
Of speedy use in the many emergencies
that may arise. DR.. Edgar Alexander
Mearns, q. S. A, as chief naturalist,
assisted by Edmund Heller, the twen-
ty-six-year-old Riverside (Cal) explor-
er, hopes to discover hitherto unknown
specimens of both animal and vegeta-
BILE life. Professor J. A. Loring. as
field naturalist, completes the scien-
tific department On entering the linn
itless wilds of the dark continent the
party will be recruited up to from 200
to 45O men.
The cost of the equipment of the
members of the party leaving the Unit
ed States amounts to about $4,000 a
man. Part of the necessary parapher-
MALTA consists Of tents. guns, ammuni-
ton, camp utensils, rations, khaki and
leather hunting suits, waterproof bags
for clothing, hunting boots and shoes,
medical supplies, surgical apparatus,
pith helmets, sleeping bags and blan-
kets, filters, hunting and skinn1ng
knives, folding bathtubs, folding brass
lanterns, bullseye lamps, candles, hot
water bottles, alcohol lamps, etc.
Serviceable tents are chief neces-
sity. The African adventurer should
have tents made of the finest green
waterproof silk, free from defect to
exclude poisonous insects, and the
Roosevelt party is so equipped. AL
though each tent can be raised to a
height of eight feet and holds four
persons, it weighs less than one
pound, including the weight of the
pole, thin telescope pole made of the
best bicycle tubing.
The tents are green to escape at
tracing unduly the attention of roam
ing jungle monsters, who are frequent
ly irritated by the glaring qualities of
white materials. Rhinoceroses, for in
stance, have been known to charge at
white tents and crush sleeping inmates
ruthlessly underfoot in the dead of
night, plunging headlong through en-
tire squads Of native attendants.
In the matter Of guns Mr.. Roosevelt
II no novice. He Is no mean authority

and rhinoceroses. They will stop
charging behemoth when all else has
failed. Tearing it's way through bone
or flesh, the bullet leaves a hole as
large as cocoanut where it emerges.
For long range Mr.. Roosevelt has a
high power, high velocity, smokeless
gun, carrying soft, lead pointed, metal
cased bullets that weigh 800 grains
and have a muzzle velocity of 2,15O
feet a second The bullet strikes a
blow of a ton and half. This gun is
used in shooting fleet footed, man shy
animals, such as antelopes and colobi.
The fourth type of gun is without
doubt the most valuable of the collec-
ton, as it is effective at both long and
short range and Is the highest type
of emergency and long distance weap-
on. This gun Is the autoloading rife,
which, it is predicted, will one day
arm the armies of the world. 1t sends
a 35 caliber bullet, metal cased, lead
pointed, through spring steel over a
quarter of an inch thick or through
forty to fifty inches Of pine. The bull
let weighs 200 grains and has muz-
zle velocity Of 1000 feet a second,
striking a blow Of 1000 pounds. In
Germany the corpses Of seven men
were stood in a row in the positions
soldiers would take, and bullet from
this gun went through five of the
bodies Five bullets fixed in clip
and placed in the chamber can be
fired in a second and half by an ex-
perienced rifieman, surely more than
enough Of reserve bat attery to stop
the widest bull elephant tusker that
ever onTushed Il human dssaiiant.
This soft, lead nosed missile, only
thirty-five -hundredths of an inch
thick at its base. "mushrooms' as it
strikes and, passing through body,
leaves a hole as big as mans hand
at its point of egress. This is the gun
that Mr.. Roosevelts head gun carrier
will hand him at that moment that
comes to every invader of the African
jungle-the moment when wounded
elephant, lion or rhinoceros, half
blinded by throbbing pain, charges or
springs madly upon its assailant,
whose life depends on steadiness OF
nerve, eye and hand, with the bloody

Secretary Happen of the National

nesota, sent the following letter to
the Leader under St. Paul date OF
April %, and Is interesting from the
standpoint of the consumer:
Notwithstanding the fact that
about 80 per cent of the leading pa
pers of the country have declared fol
free lumber the House of Represent
atives has voted to keep tariff Of 81
on rough lumber; and while reducing
the tariff on finished lumber, has lef,
the discrimination between the two
greater than in the Dingley law.
Most rough lumber is imported by
manufacturers.
Consumers buy finished lumber
which the tariff excludes.
1t may be therefore, that the effect
of the Payne bill will be to give the
manufacturer more of a cinch thar
ever on the consumer.
In any event there is but small
promise in the Payne bill rates Of any
reduction in the pressure Of the do
mestic forests.
If the rates on finished lumb Der were
reduced so per cent, the same as or
rough, the bill would be Satisfac
tory compromise.
But the lumber lobby is now plan
ming to restore the Dingley rates on
the floor of the Senate. The lobby
expects to accomplish it's purpose by
the same means in the sen ate that 1t
used in the house in defeating free
lumber, viz: Grades"
Massachusetts is a free lumber
state, 50 is Ohio. Press and pulpit in
both cases demand free lumber, the
Ohio legislature memorialized con-
gress for it, but most of the represen nt-
atives of those states sacrificed free
lumber for something else-free hides,
high wool, high barley, etc. Similar
ly the Illinois delegation to a large
extent misrepresented the people.
Only two Ohio republicans, one Mass
achusetts republican and six from IL
linois voted right. A solid free lum
Der delegation from any one Of these
states would have won the day. Sim
liar trades will be made in the senate,
or at least attempted.
AS there is no great business inter
est to fight for free lumber, it is the
eaSy victim of business interest
trades. The individual with thu
pressing private interest wins ovel
the public with the widely distrib
uted interest.
The question now is whether the
active lumber lobby camped at Wash
ington or the millions of plain people
at home are to dictate the tariff rates
on lumber.

Ton and a half of concentrated energy
hits him ON the forehead. 1t is the
weight of the shock and not the veloc-
ity or penetration of the missile that
makes this weapon inhumanly etfec-
tive, and, moreover. the bullet has
hole at its tip, causing the lead to
spread or "mushroom' when it strikes,
tearing an immense hole through a
carcass. The second type of gun is
specially constructed shotgun, which
is used as rifle, for the shell used
therein contains a solid lead slug in
stead Of small shot. Accurate at short
range and crushingly effective, this
shotgun is used only when the animal
is within fifty or sixty yards distance.
Outside that zone the gun is unsafely

bullet hits within its zone will not

Glorious is Iowa.

Clinton Herald: 1t has been only a
few days since the farmers ant all
other residents of the state were be-
ginning to be alarmed over the pros
poets for the making Of crops in Iowa
this year. The long, continued cold
and wet spring had rotted much of the
oats that had been sowed, and there
seemed little likelihood of being able
to get the corn in time to make crop.
And just when the outlook seemed
darkest, 10 and behold! The clouds
rolled away, the sun came out, activity
took the place of idleness ard almost
in a day Iowa had been transformed as
though some good fairy had waved her

A Newton Woman's Find.

Newton Journal: Do you believe in
premonitions and dreams? No; now
listen to my tale of facts before you
condemn those who do. A young lady
living not a thousand miles from the
Journal office, had ON the stairs of her
dwelling carpet that had not been
taken up for number of years. 1t
was but little used. and quite job
to take it up, and she concluded at her
regular housekeeping time this year
that she would not take it up. But
somehow she couldn't get rid of
the thought that she should take 1T
up, and the work Of doing it was put
off time and again. Finally she
dreamed that she must take 1t up.
But again she put off the task. Again
she dreamed that she must take it
up The third time she dreamed that
carpet must come up. The idea be-
came one of annoyance to her, and
to get rid of the annoyance tile task
was commenced, she doing the work
herself. On taking the carpet from
