Mining Notes.

In anticipation of steady, profitable
and consistent market, many companies
are extending themselves and making
preparations for heavy and prolonged
winter operations.
The Merry Christmas, the Harris,
and the Cox & Martin mines at this
place are being operated, mostly on
dry bone and jack.
The Milwaukee road proposes to
make improvements in its sidetracks at
the mining towns in Wisconsin so as to
accommodate more cars.
The old Empire Mining company at
Platteville has been dissolved. 1t is
now owned by the Wisconsin Zinc com
pany and is considered the greatest
single producer of zinc ore in the world.
lmhoff Bros. have located big depos-
its of zinc ore with drill upon the home
farm one mile east Of the village of

THE Court of Claims of the United
States is to hear the suits brought by
traders on the Menominee Indian Res
ervation in Wisconsin, brought to re-
cover from the Government out of the
Indian fund held in trust the amount of
money alleged to be due for supplies
furnished the Menominees to enable
them to do their logging and from
which the Indians derived considerable
fund from the sale Of timber. A large
number of cases were filed in the Court
of Claims in August and previously un-
der the act of March 3, 1909 and deposit
tons have since been taken in Wiscon-
sin to establish the claims. Some Of
these claims aggregate thousands of
dollars. The Indian Commissioner as
sured the traders that If they would adj
vance the supplies to the Indians he
would recommend to Congress the pay
ment of the account, provided the In
dams failed to do So The accounts. for
the most part, were not paid and it was
on the recommendation of the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs that Congress
authorized the traders to go before the
Court of Claims and upon proof of their
claims and judgment the Secretary of
Treasury is directed to pay the judg-
ment out of the Indian funds in the

DODGEVILLE NEWS.

From the Chronicle
VIM. Fieldhouse, proprietor of The
Fieldhouse Nursery and Vineyard in
this city celebrated the 40th anniver-
sary of his arrival in the United States
on Tuesday.
Three new concrete bridges are being
erected in the town of Dodgeville this
fall near STANDARD and Union Mills. The
structures are l0xl4 feet with approach
es. These substantial improvements are
a credit to the town board and VIII be a
great convenience when the floods come.
as these roads are at those times al
most impossible.
Alice Reese, the trotting mare
owned by DR.. VIM. Reese, arrived at
her home stable Saturday, coming from
Jefferson where she went her last race
for the season. Alice has surprised
many horsemen and has done about as
she liked in the races, winning when
ever her driver, Jack Clark, cared to
have her do so. Her record now is 2:171.
Two yearling pigeons belonging to ].
j, Hahn of this city were liberated in the
city of Mineral Point Tuesday after
noon. One of the pigeons took three
minutes to get its bearings, when it
started for Dodgeville reaching Mr..
Hahn's place in just twelve minutes.
The other bird took up FIVE minutes of
time before locating the directions but
vas only one-half minute behind the
first one in reaching its roosts.

is Operation for Appendicitis A Crime7

AN operation for appendicitis should
be called a criminal operation, and as
such should be prohibited by law. So
declared DR.. Charles Z. Page, one of
Boston's best known physicians.
81 have been following the records of
appendicitis ever since the craze for APP
pendectomy started" said DR.. Page,
"and confidently believe that the day
is coming when the people will finally
realize that appendectomy, cutting Of
the appendix, is a criminal operation.
LAS for the widely proclaimed bene-
fits and saving Of life by operations to
cut the appendix, it seems hardly neces-
sary to cite the long list Of deaths fol-
lowing the operation. Only recently we
have the striking instances Of Clyde
Fitch, the great playwright, and Gov.
johnson of Minnesota. The surgeons cut
off Gov. Johnson's appendix year or
so ago; they operated on him second
time, and on the third he fell victim
to mistaken modern theories. | have
kept track of the appendectomy deaths
for twenty years and the list is APP

Harriman's Methods.

In his visions, Hartman time and
again stood alone. 70 him the the new
West was as clear as print: "Popu-
lism is dead; dollar wheat is paying of
mortgages and piling up bank ac-
counts But ten years ago no one
else saw it. 1t was suicidal. cried the
world of finance, to pile fortune after
fortune on the lettering Union Pacific
Harriman's own board of directors
voted against him to a man. He an
swered by casting some personal mil
lions on the pile and forcing his will
upon them, until the gu. p. and the
rs. p" had been enriched by $780,
600, 900 And because of his absolute
vision the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific last year earned $500, 600, 900 in
all, instead of the 500 600, 600 of 1898;
and stockholders got $40, 600, 600 instead
of SO, 600, 600.
1t was suicidal again, the experts
agreed, to run a railroad from a point
400 miles east Of the nearest rails.
Yet it was from Chicago that J C.
Stubs directed the traffic and Julius
Cruttschnitt the maintenance and oper-
alton of their 20, 600 miles so well that
their expense ratios down to 90 per
cent Of earnings beating the record of
j. j. Hill himself, And the Hartman
lines have the best equipment in Amer
lea, rolling over the best roadbeds.
Finally. it was vicious, indefensibe,
according to much Of the press Of
America, England, Germany, and
France, when in May, 1906, Hartman
declared dividend of 10 per cent on
Union Pacific (which had been paying
per cent? and per cent on Southern
Pacific (which had been paying moth
ing). Conservative editors warned
against such "breeehes Of trust, such
"stock market tactics
Yet today the Union Pacific is earn
ing twice as much as it needs to pay
that 10 per cent and the Southern Pa
cifc is earning 9 to 10, and therefore
well able to pay 6-From Hartman

Indianapolis News,
The motor has given us speed but it
also has given us a fresh acquaintance
with casualties. The newspaper head
lines record them daily. Long Island
contests for stock cars begin with catas-
trophe, but the dead and wounded are
removed and the races continue, " is the
headline in New York paper of this
week A Chicago paper says Eighty
six killed and more than 200 wounded
in automobile accidents in this city so
far this year." another headline is to the
effect, "A Portland (Ore.) banker and
young woman were burned to death UNI
der an automobile that turned over,
and there are machines going over en-
bankments, or Off bridges, or skidding
on city pavements or on graveled coun-
try roads every day, and there are col
lisions with interurban and steam cars
and with vehicles drawn by horses.
But all this does not argue against
automobiling, the most facinating sport
Of the new century. There is no more
delightful way to travel than by auto
mobile, and the fact that thousands of
people take their summer trips, and
make business journeys in machines
without accident, shows that after all,
comparatively few that ride in them 90
to their deaths. The automobile is a
powerful engine, not to be trifed with.
but in competent and careful hands it
is tractable and safe Thousands Of
Americans see Europe and other foreign
countries in them, and wherever there
are good roads in America the whirring
motors fly through town and country. |
and their occupants arrive safe and
sound at their destination.
The automobile with its swifness has |
brought two feelings to the average mo- /
torist. One is an Impotence at the tor
toise speed of other means Of travel. |
and the other is callousness regarding
accidents to the machines and their oc-
eupants. What would have been SER
ious affair a few years ago has become
commonplace Mankind is not more
hardhearted than formerly, but famn-
iarity with danger has robbed it of ter
ror, and in this generation it takes
something different" to attract atten-
,ion and comment

Ia Church Attendance Declining7

The assertion that church attendance
has fallen off to an alarming degree is
not merely made, but assumed as mat
ter of fact, without argument or evil
dence, says Edward Tallmadge Root in
the Delineator for November. When
figures are given, little examination
often shows that they are inconclusive
because only partial in place, time or
details. Nevertheless the decline is as
sumed and its causes gravely asked and
enumerated.
1t is to be admitted, at the start, that
church attendance to-day is not salts
factory to those who Loyalty believe in
the church and its mission There is no
need Of multiplying statistics. One illus
tration may suffice. According to cen
sus of church-going in the upper section
of Manhattan, New York City, Novem-
Der Is, 1904, with population of 43S,
165, only 1850 per cent. were at church,
7.20 being Protestant and 1910 Catho-
lie. But even this means that religion
attracts more than any other one human
interest 1t is not fair to contrast it
with all other concerns combined, sheer
WEAKNESS and laziness included!
