Sun and Moon Active.

The Sun and Moon mine is now in
the way to resume its standing as
one of the prominent producers of
this mining section. This week o.
w. Lowell and several mining men
of this city secured a three years
lease and bond on this group of
twenty three claims and are arrang-
ing to begin work next Monday. The
new company has had various appl1-
cations for sub-leases but 1t has
been decided to work the entire prop
erty and not sub-let any of the
ground The claims are located in
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties and
the west end is cut by the New
house tunnel. An upraise of HOO feet
connects the tunnel level with the
shaft workings. The upraise begins
about twelve hundred feet east of
the Newhouse. The production rec
BIRD of this group largely exceeds 81
-, 900 and there are large bodies of
Ore waiting the action of the drill
and pick. There is no question but
that the members of this company
will go for these ore bodies in
thoroughly systematic and mine like
manner for they are first class bus
mess and mining men and do things
in the most reliable manner. The
ore found at the tunnel level of the
Newhouse proves the continuity or
the ore bodies as found in the upper
workings. The former production or
output was taken above the twelfth
level and the future output will be
from the twelfth level down to the
Newhouse tunnel There is much fine
ore in sight and especially in the
thirteenth level 1t is matter OF
public pride to know that this prop
pefty will resume operations and the
parties instrumental is doing this are
entitled to unrestricted praise and
congratulations

VACCINATION BATTLE ON AGAIN
tearing Before Legislative Committee at Hartford-Doc
tors Accused of Revenue r1unting

Hartford April 29.-The battle which
has occurred at every session of the
legislature for years was on this aft
ernoon in the hall of the house between
the v&ccinationists and the anti-vacci-
nationists. The latter opposed the
hearing before the committee on pub

leafiet upon which they asked
number Of medical questions regard
ing smallpox and ending with the de-
Inand that the characterization bill be
reported favorably by the committee
They then explained their position to
the committee and cited instances
where persons had sustained serious
diseases and the speakers even claimed
that many deaths have resulted
through infection from tetanus and
other diseases.

ers the cause of smallpox.
The Accusation Denied.
DIR. w. H. Smith, who is in charge
Of Bellevue hospital ana other hos
pitfalls in New York, denied that the
doctors want the law retained for
mercenary motives and stated that
smallpox would probably have been
entirely wiped out by this time had re-
vaccination been followed up, as ii
should have been. He quoted stats
ties to show that physicians who had
made over two million vaccinations
only knew of 35 deaths following vac
cination and in no case could the death
be traced to the effects of the vacci-
nation. He said that he had seen sore
arms but no serious results.
Vaccine Virus Not Dangerous .
Health.
The proprietor of laboratory where
vaccine virus is made washed his
hands in the virus to show that ne was
not afraid Of 1t and that it is not dan
gerous to health. He explained how
the virus is made and tested. The
committee reserved its decision.
