The annual celebration of Mahaska

The reduction in the expenditures
OF last year, as compared with the

Guests of Mr.. Leishman.
When Col Roosevelt arrived yester-

American ambassador. In the evening
Mr.. Roosevelt and the staff of the en-
bassy entertained at dinner.
Tomorrow Col Roosevelt will pay
his visit to the Vatican to be received
by the pope, and he will be accom-
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt and all the
members of his family and party, as
Plus Y. has expressed desire to
meet them all. After the audience
the party will call on Cardinal Merry
del Val in his state apartment, and a
reception in the Vatican gardens will
follow.
Declines to Visit Pope.
Mr.. Roosevelt has declined an invi-
tation to visit the pope through ex-
actly the same causes which forced
the pope not to receive former Vice
President Fairbanks, the question of
preference over the American Method
list mission here.
Negotiations had been opened
through Ambassador Leishman here
for the contemplated visit of Col.
Roosevelt. The latter explained him
self as anxious to see the pope. The
latter in reply said he hoped that no
such unpleasant incident as that
which marred the visit of Mr.. Fair
banks to this city would occur.
Mr.. Fairbanks declined to visit the
yatican's before seeing the Method
lists. Col. Roosevelt replied that he
could not visit the vatican under such
conditions, and when he got a reply
saying that 1t would be impossible to
lift the restrictions Roosevelt cabled
saying that the visit was impossible.
The affair has created tremendous
sensation here.
Had Arranged to See Pope.
1t is learned that Col. Roosevelt
had made no arrangement whatever
to visit the Methodists here. The
only audience which he had arranged
was with the king. The distinguished
American felt that as an American
citizen, it was to say the least unfair
for anyone to attempt in any way to
hamper his movements and he felt
that was the effect of the conditions
imposed by the vatican.
1t is learned that Col. Roosevelt has
given out a statement In America de-
Tending his course and at the. same
time expressing his regrets that such
an incident should have occurred.

BUSY DAYS At
THE G|ROUX
HEAVY MACHINERY BEING
LOWERED TO THE f200-FOOT
STATION WHERE BUSY WORK
MEN WILL SOON INSTALL.

Thing have been going ahead with
a rush at the Giroux Consolidated
during the past week, and there is a
marked advance in all the work in
progress in and about the mine.
During the week they have been low
ering the big pump to the 1200-foot
station, and this has been no little
task. Some of the parts weigh as
much as seven tons, and after being
lowered piecemeal the pumps must
be reassembled, and the fittings, all
of which are on the ground, put in
position. This will take several
weeks yet, but the hardest part of the
work is over.
The assembling of the pump parts
will be done by the men of the Giroux
Consolidated, and at the conclusion
of the work will be then inspected by
the people from the east. From this
on, big things are ahead for the
mine, for it will not be long after the
installation of the two pumps when
sinking will be resumed to the 400
foot level, where another pump with
a capacity of 500 gallons a minute.
will be installed. This will give the
mine capacity of lifting in all, 2,4O0
gallons a minute, one of the pumps
at the 1900 having a capacity of l.
200 gallons a minute and the other,
600.
The steel head frame. 75 feet in
height, is up on it's foundation over
the fiye-compartment shaft, and is
nearly completed, the men being now
engaged in riveting The change
from the wooden frame to the new
one will be made without interrupts
ing the work of the shaft.
The permanent hosting plant is
now entirely in frame, the boilers are
in position and are being bricked in.
The foundations for the engines have
been completed, and the engines will
be installed as soon as the concrete
settles. They have been rushing
things with a vengenee on this prop
erty, and still no word comes with
regard to the construction of the
concentrator.

MUCH ACTIVITY AT NEVADA con.
I Blasting Going On In All Directions
Preparatory For Winter.

From the noise coming from the
steam shovel pit, the Nevada Consoli-
dated is evidently doing more work
than ever. There never was so much
blasting going on, and 1t is in evil
dence at all times of the day and
night. On the western edge they are
taking off another slice, and the
blasting is going on right at the en-
trance, further up the hill, on top
of the hill and inside the pit.
They are still going ahead with
their preparations for the winter,
and on the etstern side of the pit
they are double-tracking the B line.
In addition to the extra track they
are putting in a switch for the Ely
Central, the b line extending over
the Weber and Grand Central claims
of the latter company.
The railway line is one of the
most important outlets of the pit,
leaving the big excavation on the
eastern side. and following the hill
to the east of the pit around to Star
Pointer. Up to date they have been
using the track for carrying out the
overburden, but with the second
track laid, they will undoubtedly use
the B line for ore as we'll. The lay
ing of the new track is no little
task, for Nevada Consolidated has
considerable levelling to do, and this
week there has been a number of
scrapers at work reducing the hill
to the present level of the track.
In the pit there are still six steam
shovels at work. Two of these are
always working in the ore and the
remainder in the overburden at diff
trent points. They are cutting away
at the southern edge, from where
they have been getting their best ore,
and are making the biggest inroads
here and on the western hill.
