Abandoned Mines.

Old worked out mines are often high.
ly dangerous. When they are almost
forgotten the ground above them will
sometimes cave in with disastrous re-
suits. 1t is not an uncommon thing
in an old mining district to see a
house or even part of town that has
been wrecked by dropping into an I'M
suspected and long abandoned tunnel
beneath. The ordinary preventive
method used in American mines is
more or less extensive timbering A
method used in European and Austria
liam mining districts is the filling of
abandoned workings with sand. This
is a somewhat expensive method to
start with, but once done no further
thought need be given to it, as the
abandoned mine has practically become
once more part Of the solid crust Of

years before under Republican ad-

employed. The only difference was in
the money paid the two. Was one
right and the other wrong? Where
does the wrong of employing special

At present we have Republican sher-

a Democratic prosecuting attorney,
each doing his duty according to law.
We have democratic board backing
both with equal fairness in the dis
charge of their duties. Each one Of
these Officials was elected upon a
platfornt which called for law enforce
merit and the Times believes they are
all doing their duty. 1t then comes
down to the motive which actuates
any one making criticism of expense
incurred in enforcing the liquor laws.
Either it must be in favor of boot
logging or else it must be purely poll
tical. True reform does not consist
of clamoring for one upward move
ment at the expense of the others. 1t
cannot be built up by tearing down.
The Times fully believes that economy
should be practiced in all county OK

not be commenced with leniency with
law breakers.

Three men were hanged for the MUIR

that he was able to escape losing his
life. Naturally this experience made a
very deep impression upon him.
1t was almost a year later that he
took the same train and by a strange
chance was assigned the same chair.
During chat with friend whom he
had just met he glanced out Of the
window and recognized the landscape
and the very spot of his narrow escape.
He told the friend the story of the bro

climax Of his recital, saying. "The cold
