Think Strangers Brinq Disease

iniHH StTdH9eTS 6TinS OlSedSes
The inhabitants of st. Kilda, like
those of Niue, regard the landing OF
strangers as fraught with danger to
their health John Sands. who thirty
odd years ago spent some months in St
Kilda, writes that 1.-The most extraor
binary complaint that visits the island
is called the strangers cold. The ma.
ttves firmly believe that the arrival OF
a boat communicates this disease
They say that the illness is more Sc
we're when the ship or boat comes from
Harris and that they suffer less when
the vessel comes from Glasgow OF
London. 1t is curious that every one
caught this distemper when an Aus
uian vessel visited the island during
my stay there. Not one St Kildan es
capped. The symptoms are severe
headache and pain and stiffness in the
muscles of the jaw, a deep rough cough
and rapid pulse. Chronicle.

Child MARRIAGES In England.

Child marriages were common enough
In England century or two ago
Wards Of the crown in particular were
frequently married before. they reached
their teens. Some children were mar
ried at the age of five. while from nine
to twelve was considered quite a mar
riageable age for girls. Little Moll vii
ners, daughter of the Duke of Bucking'
ham. was not merely a wife. but a
widow, at the age of nine. and there
are descriptions of her romping in the
garden and climbing cherry trees in
her Widows veil.

HIGHEST AND LOWEST POINTS.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton Of land in United States is a.
III feet, according to the U. s. Geo
logical Survey. Mount Whitney, the
highest point, is 14,501 feet above sea
level, and a point in Death Valley is
276 feet below sea level. These two
points, which are both in California,
are less than 80 miles apart. This
difference is small, however, as COM
pared with the figures for Asia. Mt.
Everest rises 29,002 feet above sea
level whereas the shores Of the Dead
Sea are 1890 feet below sea level.
total difference IN land heights Of
30,292 feet. Mount Everett has never
been climbed
The greatest ocean depth yet found
is 32,0S8 feet, at point about 40
miles north Of the island Of Mtndanao
in the Philippine Islands. The ocean
bottom at this point is therefore 1I1s
miles below the summit of Mt. Ever
est.
The difference in the land heights
in Europe is about 1865 feet.

HUBERT PUMP WORKING

The new electric pump which has
Just been installed on the Hubert
mine, was put in operation Sunday.
It. worked satisfactorily from the
start and is throwing water at the
rate Of $4,000 gallons every "a hours.
The water is being lifted from the
450-foot level. at which point rs per
cent of the water flows in.
The shaft win be unwatered to the
bottom. a depth Of 1850 feet. Below
the 450foot level, the water will be
hoisted with the bucket. When the
mine Is drained, another electric
pump win be put in at the bottom
and the water raised to the 450foot
level and the present pump will force
II to the surface. Manager Bolsinger
estimates that the time required to
unwater the Hubert will be from 60
to 90 days.

MIN @
STARTING BLACK JACK
AND LINDEN MINES.

A lease and bond have been taken
ON the Black Jack and Linden mines
in Silver Gufch, near the old sampler
works in Black Hawk. The properties
will be taken over by the Dividend
Gold Mines Co., which Is being form
ed by D. D. Shirley. prominent min
ing man Of this county and the Sill
verton section. Mr.. Shirley has been
very successful in his mine operations
in connection with the Bezant COM
pany in this county and the Mines
Milling & Reduction company, of Sill
verton.
The properties that will be operat-
ed by the new company were located
some years ago by James A. Perley.
They were worked in the early days
and Notwithstanding the primitive
methods of mining then in vogue, pro-
duced upwards of $4,000, which
would insure the more than profitable
production of the mines under the
modern methods OF operation and
treatment in practice today. The de-
velopment on the Black Jack con-
sists of two shafts, one lao feet deep
and the other 120. There is a tunnel
100 feet long, connecting the two
shafts. The tunnel is in ore Of fine
grade. In fact, the average value of
the ore that has been shipped from
the mine is $125.00 per ton. The ore
carries more than an ounce of gold
and is very heavy in silver, the val
ues in the white metal running from
125 to $50 ozs. to the ton. The per-
centage Of lead is also very heavy.
running as high as 359o.
Equipment, consisting Of the neces-
sary shaft house, ore house. coal
bins and a steam plant Of machinery,
is on the property, ready for work as
soon as the company commences op-
erations, which will be but a short
time. Mr.. Shirley will manage the
proposition, and that the operation
Of the mine win be conducted in a
systematic, business like and econom-
ical manner, goes without saying.

TUNNEL COMPANY
Is UNREASONABLE

Robt. Sayre and associates are pre-
pared to make an upraise from the
tunnel workings of the Phoenix-Bur-
roughs to connect with the main
shaft OF that property. This would
mean the immediate unwatering Of
the north side Of Quartz hill. Since
the drill holes were put through to
the lower workings of the Phoenix
the water has gone down 290 feet,
which means that an immense vol
ume Of water has passed out through
the Newhouse tunnel from this prop
erty.
The one thing that holds back this
work from being done at once is
the attitude Of the tunnel manage
ment in insisting on being indemni-
fled for all possible damages that
might result to the tunnel or its
equipment through an excessive flow
Of water in making the upraise con-
nection. The Phoenix management Is
willing that the tunnel people make
the upraise: In fact has offered
them the contract, which they have
declined. At the present rate OF un-
watering 1t will take some two years
to drain the property sufficiently to
start sinking operations.
With the present attitude Of the
Newhouse management 1t will be Inn
possible to make the upraise at the
terms and conditions insisted upon.
It Is hoped that satisfactory agree
ment. modifying the risk Of damages,
acn be SO arranged that this much
needed improvement can be started
at once as 1t means the employment
of several hundred miners just as
soon as the mine is unwatered.

Citizens in the northern portion OF
the county are complaining that the
road from Rollinsville to Tolland has
been impossible all winter for teams,
on account Of snow piling up below
the railroad bridge where 1t crosses
the creek. Travellers going to Tolland
by team have to tie up their rigs
and walk the ties to finish their trip.
The road should be kept open in
some manner as the Jenny Lind road
is impossible during the winter
months and the only way to reach
Tolland and Baltimore from here. is
via Rollinsville.

HENRY p. LOWE
RETURNS TO CENTRAL.

Manager Henry P. Lowe returned
Sunday evening from London where
he attended the annual meeting Of
the Frontenac Consolidated Mines
Limited. Mr.. Lowe expresses him
self glad to get back to Central
City. On the trip over ON the Maure-
tania, he encountered one Of the
worst storms that the Atlantic has
seen for many years. The Cunarder
was severely damaged. At one time.
with a 100 mile gale, it looked as If
the vessel would never reach port
The properties under Mr.. loves
management are to be pushed to
their full capacity. The company is
we'll satisfied with the progress
made and the outlook for the future
was never better for greater tom
mage.
In ore reserves the Frontenac and
Aduddel mines have a tonnage block
ed out sufficient to run the mill for
years to come. The management has
aimed to maintain a reserve, rather
than to mine and ship ore as fast as
exposed. ALI development work has
been on these lines. The Newhouse
tunnel developments have proven the
continuity of the ore bodies found
in the upper workings. With the ad-
vent OF spring, the mill will be put
on "a hour basis of three shifts
OF eight hours each. A high saving
is made in the min at a minimum
cost.
The Caribou mine in which Mr..
The Lowe Is interested. Is to at once
be placed on a producing basis. The
machinery and tanks for the new
mill have been designed and ordered.

Hawk 40 years ago. will once more

ducers OF the state.
Mr.. Lowe in an interview. had
nothing to say regarding the Fifty
Gold Mines or the possibility Of Its
being placed in operation at an early
date. The legal entanglements sur
rounding the property are such they
may take months to straighten out
and be placed In such shape that cap
