by which it will once more be.
come a great wealth produc el
and a money making place for al
engaged in business or other avo.
cations there. A novel feature o1
the celebration was a luncheon
given in the Wolftone mine more
than thousand feet under gruond
in stope chamber 10 feet long
fifty feet wide and forty two feet
in height, this chamber was cut
out of a solid body of carbonates
of zinc ore and over two hundred
guests were dined within the me-
tai walled banquet hall, from
which 1000 tons of 40 percent zinc
was mined since the first day OF
this month.
1t is claimed that there are
over ten million tons of zinc ores
now in sight in the old mine slopes
of the camp already developed
and waiting to be mined, milled
and turned into money and in one
mine alone there is sufficient ore
exposed to permit the shipment
of 500 tons per day for the next
ten years.
For over twenty years Leadville
bore the reputation of being the
greatest ore producer in the world
and she is nov coming back" to
her old record which was really
the occasion Of the celebration
which occurred on the 25 of jan,
thn birthday and anniversary OF
Robert Burns.
The location of Leadville was
once the site of the ereatest gold
pla-er mines in this state and
known as California Gulch, which
produced more placer gold than
all other placer diggings COM
bined IN the territory. 1t was
found that the great difficulties
tn" placer mines had to contend
with was the filling OF their sluice
boxes with a heavy substance
discovered to be carbontes of lead
and from which the great camp
obtained its name with the re
suit of soon becoming the bigg est
lead producing dist let in the
world.
With the recent discovery Of
such immense bodies of zinc in
her mines, Leadville is sure to
soon become the heaviest producer
of this metal in the world, fir, m
the fact that her ore bodies are all
developed and ready for extrac-
ton in an unlimited tonnage. The
great revival of the mining indus
tries of Leadville can but have
a beneficial influence upon that
of every other mining district in
the state especially SO where zinc
ores predominant as is the case
with mines in this locality. Lead
vile has the advantage over all
the outside mining camps in
having several broad gauge rail
ROADS leading up to her mines;
with mills and smelters located
within the distri:t; the time is
drawing near when these things
will come to other low grade min
ing districts within the state as de-
velopment proceeds and the great
ore bodies are exposed. Capital
lists are already turning attention

BURNS SENSATIONAL CHARGES

According to the story presented by

largely complied from confession by
McManigal, one Of the persons arrest
ed, J.. j. McNamara, secretary of the

Iron Workers union. is monstrous
travesty on the image of COG.
Mr.. Burns charges Mr.. Mcnamara
with having directed and managed 66
dynamite outrages, in which there
was great destruction of property and
100 lives lost. 1t was upon informa-
ton of these crimes that the detective
arrested McNamara and his brother
and McManigal at indianapolis and
rushed them out of the state before
they could make any movement in
pursuance of their constitutional
right to q hearing.

OF the s1euths Of the land suggests the

DANCED SEVEN HOURS.
Barber and His Girl Friend Test
Their Endurance.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 6.-After
dancing for seven hours, A. F. Scott,
a barber, took his lady partner to a
refreshment stand at Dreamland, in
this city, last night and toppled over
dead as he was about to drink a
glass of soda water.
Miss Mamie Webb, Scott's partner
stood by his side as he toppled to
the floor.
1t was in the spirit of fun that they
had proposed to try out each others
endurance. They started to dancing
as soon as the pavilion opened at 6
o'clock and kept at it constantly,
save for the 80 seconds wait of the
orchestra, until 1 o'clock a. M, when
Scott, exhausted, decided to give up
the struggle. The pain walked over
to the refreshment stand, ordered
soda, and as Scott was about to raise
the glass to his lips he fell in a
swoon.
He was dead when bystanders
started to lift him to his feet.

TEXAS COTTON CROP LARGE.
Will Probably Break Records Judg'
ing from August Sales.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. g.
That the cotton crop of Texas will
probably break all records is indi-
Gated in the number of bales receiv-
ed at Galveston for the month OF
August. During the month, 2O6,-
900 bales, valued at SIS, $4,000
were received. This breaks all
records at the Galveston port for the
month of August. Last years Au-
gust receipts were 125,923 bales,
and the next largest August receipts
were 1880 bales in 1908. Com
pairing the receipts of both July and
August of this year with that OF
each year since 1906, when the
State produced more than 4,000,-
900 bales, the indications are that
this years crop will exceed by sew
eral hundred thousand bales any
crop ever produced in the State.
While the crop is short in certain
sections, in others it is very heavy,
and those in touch with conditions
predict that the Texas crop this
year will be more than one-third of
all cotton produced in the United
States.

STRANGE SIBERIAN HOUSES.
One Enters by Hole in the Roof
and Climbs Down 8 Pole.

There are many kinds Of queer
houses in the world, but for diff
Guilty of ingress and egress the huts
of some Siberian fur hunters, Kor-
yaks by name, take the palm.
From distance these houses have
the appearance Of huge tunnels ris-
ing out of a snowbank. The crater
like top of the house, besides form
ing a roof, is used as a. general stor-
age place for food and all sorts Of
articles. This slopes downward to
an aperture in the centre which
serves as a smoke hole, ventilator
and passageway below.
A number of logs arranged IN a
circle support the rickety framework
of the roof, the lower end of which
rests on a secondary pile of timbers
forming the walls of the living quar-
ters. For nearly nine months the
whole house is covered up to the pro-
jecting roof with tons of snow,
chinked with frozen earth and DEBRIS.
the inmates being about ten feet be-
low the surface.
The most peculiar feature Of the
house, according to Fur News, is the
means of entrance. This is accom-
plished by scaling narrow split log,
having holes cut in for feet and
hands, which extends down from the
roof at an angle of almost 80 de-
grees. Getting inside Is feat which
none but the experienced native can
accomplish with comfort.
The interior is reached by descend,
ing another perpendicular tree log
stairway, the holes being covered
with slippery coating Of grease and
SCOT. A misplaced step of any Wis
iting white fur trader or agent would
result in his landing in pot of
blubber always kept boiling at the
base.
The whole enclosure has ground
floor, and is barren of anything In
the shape of furniture. A large ves-
sci for cooking seal and blubber and
a kettle used for melting snow are
the chief household utensils. The
diet is limited almost exclusively to
raw and half cooked seal and whale
flesh, with Russian brick tea and
American tobacco as an extra luxu-
ry.
Before entering one Of these Arc
tic households it is customary for the
white visitor or trader to send word
ahead prior to his arrival. On reach
ing the house he will usually find as
sembled on the roof awaiting him
the host and all his family, including
dogs. Dogs play an important part
in their primitive religion and are
thought to be a potent agency for
keeping away evil spirits and bring
ing good luck in the hunting of fur
animals. For this reason the stuff
ed form of a dog is always kept dang
ling from the rooftop of the houses.

DEER KILL RATTLESNAKES.
Once Animal Sights Reptile It's as
Good as Dead.

! II was trout uSQ1nS III Tue lower
part of the Pennsylvania hemlock
belt this season." said an Orange
county citizen, according to a story
in the New York Sun, "and seeing
and hearing more rattlesnakes than
was pleasant I asked native of the
district If those cheerful reptiles
weren't more plentiful than usual
thereabout. He said they were, and
told me why.
cts because the woods have been
cut away so, said he. The cutting
| away of the woods has made the
deer scarcer. Naturally the thin
ming out of the deer has taken out
of the woods one of the greatest foes
the rattler ever had. A blacksnake
hates rattlesnakes beyond everything,
but he doesn't hate them bit more
than a deer does.
"'Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as
persistently as good dog will hunt
birds. When deer once gets it's
eye on a rattler that rattler's fate
is sealed.
"'The deer waits until the snake
coils to strike. Then it raises on it's
hind feet and strikes the snake with
the sharp hoofs of the forefeet, kill
ing it instantly. After killing the
snake if there doesn't seem to be any
of it's kind at hand requiring the
deer's attention, it will cut the dead
one to pieces with it's hoofs.
"'In tho fall of the year, when
the snakes are returning to their
dens for the winter, and in the
spring, when they are coming out
again, deer visit the dens and kill
rattlers by the score as they pass in
or come out. In this way while deer
were plentiful in our region they
undoubtedly kept the rattlesnake
population down by thousands every
year. There are not enough of the
snake killing deer lett with us to
hold the poison peddling reptiles in
check.
"tOld hunters used to say that
even if rattlesnake was quick
enough to get it's work in on deer
before the deer's razorlike hoofs end
ed it's career the poison would have
no effect on the deer. think that is
a mistake. I came across a big buck
one fall lying dead in the woods. In
one of the nostrils, fast in the flesh,
I discovered the fang of a rattle
snake.
"'I could come to but one conclu-
sion from that. The buck had at
tackled rattlesnake and the snake
had managed to strike it in the nose,
setting fang deep in a nostril. The
buck, Jerking its head back suddenly,
had pulled the fang out Of the
snakes jaw. The poison from it
had killed the buck
"That same native of the hemlock
belt told me that if I carried black
ash stick with me I needn't be afraid
of all the rattlesnakes there were in
that or any other region, for rat
| tier wouldn't come anywhere near
black ash. He said, too, that I could
always be sure of huckleberry pie or
pudding for dinner wherever there
was rattlesnakes, for rattlesnakes
and huckleberry country invariably
went together. He said, too, that I
needn't be afraid of getting malaria
as long as I was in a district where
there were rattlesnakes.
81 didn't carry a black ash stick
to test its efficacy against proximity
Of rattlers, but there isn't any doubt
at all but I had huckleberry pudding
or pie right along while was in that
bailiwick, and I never had malaria
