THE NEW YEAR BEGAN RIGHT

Six pro perties were mentioned last
week in the Observer that had been
taken over in some form or other
to be operated in a manner best
suited to those who had acquired
possession. That is good start for
the year. The mere announcement is
news. The better part of the fact
that these were properties which
could be acquired at most any time
by responsible parties. Further, II
accentuates all that has been repeat
edly said in these columns; that
there are any number of properties
in tAis district that merely needed
good management to place them in
the producing stage. tbs proof, too,
that this paper did not err in stat
ing that great number would be
found with veins intact ready to be
extracted with the aid of little pre-
liminary work.
The mere mention thai six are to
begin operating is a >source Of en-
couragment. Many others can be ac-
quired which will show equal oppor-
tunities; maybe better. 1t seems al
most sin that these mines be idle
1t is too big a contract to know all
the good things in mining in the dis
trict. Owners must be sought and
asked about the possibilities of their
property. But that would hardly be
satisfying. They might exaggerate.
Local tradition is pretty reliable
source Of information given by a
'disinterested party. Miners know a
thing or two concerning properties in
which they have worked. This class
often seek a lease.
OF the six properties mentioned,
there may have been a number Of
others taken over Of which public
notice has not been given. 1t is be-
coming Of common occurrence for
sofne one OF the mines resuming op-
Grafton. 1t is immaterial whether
they are handled by a local pool or
with the aid Of outside capital. 1t is
all die. 1t is gratifying that any
one is able to do it. Better still. it
is OF Importance that there are mines
that can be operated with the hope
Of gain. Gilpin has them and of a
variety that should satisfy the most
exacting.

full attempt Of congress to change the
old common law rule that an en-

recover damages from the carrier for
injuries received in his employment
when the injuries resulted from the
negligence of a fellow servant. The
first law, enacted In 1905, was de-
clared unconstitutional in 1908, be-
cause it embraced within its terms a

Justice Vandevanter announced the
opinion, which was unanimous and
complete victory for the government

Justice Vandevanter declared that
congress had the right to regulate the

sulting to employees from the neSii-

Thirty thousand hands are idle and
extra precautions are being taken to
save the mill properties from destruc-

made during raids by strikers on the
plants and a dozen operatives were
injured, none seriously.

from Sc to 81 hours a week. compelled
by the new state law, which became
effective January /. The law applies
to factories where women and chill

at the Wood worsted mills and the
Prospect wooden mills. The attempts
at both places were repulsed by the
police, who used their clubs freely.

WOULD OWN WIRES
HITCHCOCK ASKS U. S. TO Ac-
OUIRE TELEGRAPH LINES
AND OPERATE THEM.
SAYS RATES WOULD BE LESS
Postmaster General Points Out That
Postal System Would Be Made
Much More Profitable and Public
Better Served by Acquisition.

Washington. Acquisition of the
telegraph lines by the government
and their operation as part of the
postal system is the latest idea of
Postmaster General Hitchcock. A
resolution to this effect will be Of
fered to congress at the present ses-
sion.
He believes such consolidation
would result in important economies
and permit the adoption of lower tele-
graph rates. Post Offices are main
tanned in numerous places not reached
by telegraph and proposed consolida-
ton would afford a favorable oppor-
tunity for the wide extension of tele-
graph facilities.
In many small towns where tele-
graph companies have Offices the
telegraph and mail business could
be readily handled by the same en-
ployes. The separate maintenance
of the two services under present
conditions results in a needless ex-
pense. AS a matter Of fact, the first
telegraph In the United States was
operated from 1914 to 1S47 by the
government under authority from
congress, and it is most desirable
that the government control be re-
sumed
A method has been already pre-
scribed for the taking over of the
telegraph lines by section 5267 of the
revised statutes, which provides that
the government may, for postai, mill
tary or other purposes. purchase
telegraph lines operating in the
United States at an appraised value.
Mr.. Hitchcock hopes that congress
will speedily enact legislation in
harmony with this law providing for
the taking over by the government OF
the existing telegraph systems at
terms that shall be fair to their pres
ent owners. Every reason for the
transmission of intelligence by mail
under government control can be
urged with equal force for similar
transmission of telegraph communi-
cations.

GOOD HAMBURG STEAK
LONELY DISH MAY APPEAR IN
MANY GUISES.
Some Recipes That Are a Great I'M
provement on Usual Way Of
Serving It-How Butchers
Cheat the Housewife.

That plain but neurishing dish
Known as Hamburg steak may APPEAR
in various guises that are great inn
provement on the usual way OF serv-
ing it. A very nice dish with cakes
and coffee for an autumn breakfast
is prepared with about two-thirds of
Hamburg steak and one-third OF sau-
sage The sausage should be rich
with sage and other seasonings. The
dish tastes mucn like sausage. but
without the greasy quality Therefore
persons with delicate digestions can
partake of it when they might be
forced to refrain from eating unadul-
terated sausage.
Another nice way of serving Ham
burg steak is the following: Moisten
cupful Of powdered cracker crumbs
with little milk-enough to make
a mixture of pudding-like consistency.
Stir this through a pound of Ham
burg steak and season the whole with
| pepper, salt and powdered sage Two
teaspoonfuls of the powdered sage
will be about right. Some palates may
like little more and some less. At
| ter seasoning knead the mixture with
the hands until all the ingredients
have become properly amalgamated
Form 1t into a roll and slice the roll
into cakes. Fry the cakes in very hot
suet or butter. If the Hamburg steak
seems to be lacking in fat it is we'll
to add little chopped suet when mix
ing the softened crumbs into it
Probably more housewives are
cheated through the medium of Ham
burg steak than in any other way
along the meat line The best way to
manage is to buy piece of first class
round steak ana have it ground be-
fore ones owr eyes; then one knows
exactly what one is getting.
One of the interesting specimens at
a recent food show was the Hamburg
steak shown in the exhibit conducted
by Uncle Sans meat inspectors The
Hamburg" looked fresh and healthy
but their appearance was most de-
ceiving. They were in reality old
minced scraps of meat freshened and
coiored with a preserving liquid that
comes especially for the purpose-a
yeritable invention of Satan. As
butchers seem to have the power to
elude the inspectors at times and as
meat treated with this preparation is
likely to deceive any one. 1t is best
TO avoid all Hamburg steak that has
been previously chopped, unless the
buthers's sense of honor is above sus-
| picion, and even then it is just as
we'll not trust to ones own opinion.
IT may be we'll to warn young house
Keepers in particular against tempt
| ing specials" in this line.
