MILL FOR WARREN.

locator and principal owner of
the Skylark mine, in the Warren
district, arrived in town last
night with teams loaded with his
machinery for his mine. He has
a 100 pound one-stamp mill, s.
ton capacity, a 40-horse power
engine and boiler, all up-to-date,
and complete. The Skylark is
situated about four miles east of
Warren, and is one of the most
promising properties in the camp,
and has made a fine showing
right from the start. Mr.. Smith
has set an example that is wor-
thy of emulation and if followed
will prove of profit to the mine
owners and the entire camp. He
expects to have his mill in oper-
alton. by Sept. LIST, after which
date he will be turning out the
yellow stuff" in the shape OF
bullion. He will add supplies
here and "treck" out today.

THE WORD

1t is not thought in Topeka railroad
circles that President Ripley of the
Santa Fe will allow his mechanical de-
partment to be placed on division
basis The divisional system places a
superintendent of motive power on
each of the districts of the road with
the one big headquarters in Chicago
Something on the order of the system
used now in the operating department
of the road.
in Topeka Is that President Ripley in
tends to make the shops in this city the
big construction shops of the Santa Fe
and in order to maintain the heavy
work on the road in Topeka the pres
ent system Of the superintendent OF
motive power in Chicago and the as
siStant superintendent IN Iopeka 1nuss
remain unchanged.
Topeka officials do not take sides on
the question. They are too wise TO
think that any objections or approvals
will have anything to do with the real
dent Ripley does not advise or counsel
with them-far from that-but that he
will find in his own aggressive man
ner the true merit of a change
With the present equipment and the
plans of the Topeka shops-the largest
of their kind in the world-everything
is in readiness now for the real con-
struction headquarters of the system.
In the past the Topeka shops have
handled a big part of the work-for in
stance, the way cars, the switch en-
gines and other equipment has always
been built here.
It has been found on other railroads
in the country that a system of shops
over the country was not a paying
proposition-that is, a system of shops
for actual new construction and heavy
repair work 1t has been discovered
through expensive experience that with
a main shop in one locality and local
shops in other localities the best work
of the road could be accomplished.
If the mechanical department was
placed on a divisional basis the work
would be divided up to such an extent
that no one shop would be the head
quarters for the real general work of
the road.
Several railroads in the last few
years-roads that at one time enter
tanned the divisional power-have gone
back to the headquarters scheme.
And it is not figured that the Santa

shops in Topeka will attempt the sys-
