FOR SANE FOURTH
Mayor Billiard Opens Fight on
Old Time Celebration.
No Fireworks Permitted to Be
Sold Here This Year.
PUBLIC CELEBRATION
City Heads Fund to Have Big
DOings in Fair Grounds.
All Day and Evening Display
Band Concerts.
PUBLIC CELEBRATION

The Topeka city officials have de-
clared Sane Fourth this year
Furthermore, they have pledged as a
starter 500 to create a fund for the
purpose of giving on the Fourth of
July public celebration in the state
fair grounds.
AS warning to Topeka merchants
who may be figuring on July Fourth
fireworks and explosives, Mayor Bill
lard has issued a statement that To-
eka would be quiet this year.
Just after the celebration last year
the city commissioners passed an ordi-
nance forbidding the use of firecrack-
ers, pistols, guns, canes, or explosives
of any kind. Furthermore. the ordi-
nance prohibited the merchants from
selling stock of this kind.
In order to insure a sensible cele-
bration this year the mayor mas given
everyone months warning.
Topeka will have sane, sensible
and intelligent Fourth of July this
year" said Mayor Billiard. 81 think
the people have come to know that the
broken arms, burned faces and, poison
Gus powder are poor ways of celebrat-
ing the declaration of independence.
Our ordinance of last year pro-
hibits the sale of fireworks and we are
going to enforce it.. Also, we are go
ing to enforce the ordinance against
the firing of these explosives. Enough
patrolmen will be on duty to keep a
SAOoS
The real plan for the Fourth of July
celebration will be presented to the city
by Commissioner Bone.
1t is planned to donate 500 to head
fund for $1,000 to give mammoth all-city
in the fair grounds all day
and evening. 1t is figured by the COM
m1ss1oners that experts could be hired
to put on day and night fireworks for
less than $1,000 MarshalTs band and 9TH
er bands could be hired to play all day
and evening at the grounds.
This would furnish all the amusement
the kids" could wish. 1t would cost very
little compared with the amount of money
spent by every family in the city for
each year. The fund and sub
scriptions will be received at the office
of Commissioner Bone or the State Jour
nal.
The Sane Fourth movement was a big
feature in reducing the number of deaths
and accidents in the United States last
year This year the societies and clubs
behind the movement have started out
early and already they are under full
Roadway in their attempts to cut down
noisy and dangerous celebrations.
In Topeka the campaign will open at
once. The fuse has been lighted by
Mayor Billiard and Commissioner Bone.

Occupants of Offices in New Mills
Building Moving In.
Will All Be There by First of
Next Week.
SPLENDID LIGHTROOMS
Everything for Convenience Is
Being Done.
Work OF Finishing Rooms Pro-
crossing Rapidly.
,PLENDID LIGHTROOMS

By June l practically every Office
room in the Mills building, Ninth and
Kansas avenue, will be occupied. AL
ready several physicians have moved
their Offices there, while others are
waiting impatiently in inconvenient or
temporary offices for the finishing of
the floors and woodwork in the SPLEEN
did new building.
The task of finishing is being crowd
ed as much as possible and an army of
carpenters, plasterers, tile layers,
painters and electricians are swarming
about in the two office floors and up
and down the rear elevator shaft. To-
day the tile floor in the lobby of The
street entrance is being put down.
Elevator service is at the disposal
of the occupants of the offices and the
public regardless of the unfinished
condition of floors and rooms.
Nearly every office and suite of
rooms n the building have been
physicians and dentists. have
taken H4hces in the building than any
other Business or profession. As one
physician said: 1.-THE Mills building
offers the best location for our pro-
fession of any in the city. The loca-
ton of the building is central and con-
venient TO car lines, the elevator SER
vice is first class, being "a hour service
and every day."
Every room in the two stories of
office suites is light and airy. Extra
ordinarily fine views of the city may
be obtained from the sixth and seventh
floor and when any air on earth is
stirring those people up there will get
first chance at it.
Truly the Mills building is a model
of modern construction, arrangement
and convenience.
1.-THE wiring placed in this building
for power and lighting systems is al
most equivalent to the entire electrical
wiring of such a town as Emporia.

this building" said w. w. Mills, while
the work of going over the walls of
the eight stories was in progress.
Pretty big job this building of eight
story buildings, but every detail is
carefully executed, every convenience
furnished to add comfort and advant-
age to occupants of the building.

HE SEEKS a NEW TRIAL.
Attorney for Swearingen Wants An
other Chance in Court.

Motion for a new trial in the Mills
SwearinSen damage suit was filed this
morning by Otis Hungate, attorney for
the defense, who recites Is reasons why a
rehearing should be granted in the ac-
ton.
Hungate refused to state whether the
case would be appealed to the supreme
court in case the motion for a new trial is
overruled. The lawyer is not at all sat
isfed with the s., 2O5 Judgment which Mrs.
Mills received against his clients. He
takes particular exception to the iudg-
ment for 500 punitive damages, and de-
clares this portion of the verdict should
be set aside
AS reason for his contention, Hungate
declares that in the plaintiffs petition,
there was no demand made for punitive
damages. He asked the court to instruct
against the punitive damage clause, but
in his special questions submitted to the
jury, he asked the amount allowed for
punitive damages as well as damages for
personal injury, loss of health and hui
initiation and mental suffering, be set
aside.

HIGH-GRADE VS.. LOW-GRADE
MINES

A quarter of a century ago, when
mining was comparatively in it's in
fancy in this western country, when
business ~centers were few and far be-
tween, when nearby camps Of today
were Their isolated sections in a coun-
try of magnificent distances, nothing
appealed to the miner and prospect
or more strongly than a high grade
proposition. This, however, was not
from choice, but was owing to condi-
ditions then existing; to the long dis
lance from market, to the lack of
transportation facilities, and the high
prices paid for labor and supplies, to
say nothing of the inadequate milling
and reduction methods then pertaining.
Now, however, with almost every con-
dition of that day and date reversed,
it is the big low-grade mine that APP
peals to the experienced mining man
and mill operator; and, as a general
thing, it is the great low grade propo-
sition which pays the most in divid-
ends and whose production continues
for years after the exhaustion of the
rich mine.
We know that high-grade ore APP
peals to the imagination and cupidity
of the tenderfoot and to the public at
large, and that the inexperienced will
go into raptures over a few inches of
exceedingly rich mineral; but, in the
long run, the mine with vast bodies of
milling ore in its workings will win
out and maintain a paying basis long
after the small vein of shipping ore
has become exhausted. 1t has been
stated, and correctly so, that a foot of
ore that yields from 500 to $50 a ton
in the precious and baser metals, is
not to be compared in value and source
of profit to the eight or ten-foot body
Of $40 and $25 ore. In the mining
of the small vein, but few men can be
employed, while a large amount of
dead work must be performed in order
to take out a small tonnage. In a large
zone of low grade or milling ore, a
small army of men may be employed in
mining operations, and but little lead
work is required. Cross-cuts, upraises,
drifts and wines can be driven ON the
ore, and thousands of tons broken
down and extracted at a nominal cost,
and without the waste incident to the
operation of a mine where Nature has
deposited her treasures in small but
rich veins.
The investor, seeking a producing
and paying mine, is generally much
more favorably impressed with a great
low-grade proposition than he is with
a mine having rich ore, but in small
bodies. Nearly all of the great camps
OF the west are, comparatively speak
ing, low-grade propositions; the rich
mines which nave made fortunes for
their owners being exceptions to the
general rule. Furthermore, the low
grade mine is much better for a camp
than is a high-grade, small-vein produc-
or, az such a mine necessitates the en-
ployment of more men, the erection Of
mills, smelters and reduction works.
while more money is in circulation as
a result, and the masses, accordingly,
are more benefited than if the camp
possessed mines with small veins but
OF high value.-Mining Review.
