TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF LA PLATA MINER

MANCOS, Dec. 31.-William Schu-
bert continues to improve from his ter
rible eperience which came near end
ing his life. Mr.. Schubert is miner
owning claims on the Mancos side of
the La Plata mountains, and was
working alone, his sole companion
being faithful dog Eight days be-
fore Christmas Mr.. Schubert was in
jured by an explosion, having one leg
and arm broken. In this condition he
suffered untold tortures, not only from
the injuries but from hunger and
thirst and cold. His dog remained
with him seven days, when 1t became
so starved that it left the tunnel and
went to a neighboring camp. The
dog was recognized and attempts were
made to get 1t to go home, but without
avail, SO some of the men concluded
to visit Schubert's cabin. Not finding
him there they went to the tunnel
where the poor man was discovered
in crazed condition and begged to
be killed. A sled was improvised and
the poor fellow taken to Mancos on
Christmas day. That he lives to tell
the tale is remarkable. 1t is seldom
one is able to endure such pain and
hardship.

WHY PAPER KEEPS COMING.


We were asked this week by a de.
linquent subscriber why we kept on
sending the paper after the subscrip.
tito ndate expired. Every weekly
newspaper in town of this size are
forced to do this. Should we stop
subscriptions when the time expires
nine times out of ten the subscriber
would give us calling down" for
insinuating that his credit was not
good. Rather than cast reflection
on the honest of subscriber to pay
small debt, it is next to a necessity
for home paper to continue sending
the paper after the time has expired
1t is not necessary for the city dailies
or weeklies to follow this rule, as
their subscribers live at a distance
and are not personal friends as is
the case with a majority of our sub
scribers Our subscribers should deem
1t all honor to know that we do not
doubt their integrity and continue TO
send them the paper after the time
has expired. Should any desire their
paper discontinued, they should mott
| fy us and remit TO date II they have
not already done so-Rifie Reveille

Besides this the coin in the valuts
averages 100000, 900 or more. In fact
available cash balances often come
nearer being s400 100000. The treas
urer holds probably $650,O00,000 OF
bonds for national banks which have
issued currency against them. He has
public deposits in some 1900 national
bank repositories, which money is Sc.
cured by pledged bonds of say $780,

is SO regulated that In handling bill.
