To the Editor of The Miner;
In looking over a magazine few
days ago ] noticed a very interesting
article Oh the subject of roads. There
is always something to he said and
done on roads. and something to be
learned about them. Since the days
of the first wheeled vehicle of the
crudest kind to the present day the
road question has ever been live

district was constructed by Captain

there is no travel more pleasant and

"The ores of Cripple Creek were SO

by some Of the many assay offices In
the district.

1T was customary to pay for about
ne-half of It's value. There was one

ores that the boys brought him, until
he paid them less than rs per cent Of

not denounce him without involving

In recent issue of the Engineering
nd Mining Journal q. l., Sheldon
contributed an interesting article on
| High Grading" 1t Is only in the
amps that produce extremely rich sill
| 'er or gold ore that this practice of
p, theft can prevail Cripple Creek and
Goldfeld have afforded notable exam
: pies of it in recent years and 1t Is not
yet entirely suppressed. Change rooms
and guards have done much to lessen
the practice.
1t would be wrong to charge every
miner with this offense. AS a class
they are as honest as other craftsmen,
tradesmen or professional men Many
there are who would no more think or
taking a chunk of ore worth $50 than
of taking a 500 gold piece with Uncle
Sans stamp on 1t from the safe or
pocket of their employer And this Is
the right view of honesty. But the
surprise has been that so many APP
parently honest in all things of every
day life, seem sincere in the opinion
that 1t is not wrong to take rich ore
from another mans mine.
! There is nothing of this practice In
o lead. zinc or copper mining camp,
nor in the low grade silver and gold
camps. IT is only in what are called
1 the "pockety' lodges, where extremely
rich ore in bunch may be encoun-
tered at any time, or where very
rich streak of ore lies alongside, often
with some regularity, of ledge Of
lower grade ore,
Following is Mr. Sheldon's COM
ment
One Excuse for High Grading.
1T Is an undoubted fact that the
majority of miners the world over VIII

Why, it is hard to explain. have
known many miners that | was per-
fectly willing to trust in any ordinary
business transaction, men who could
be relied upon ordinarily, but given the
opportunity, they would invariably
take rich ore, If 1t appeared safe to get
away with it. Once, to partner 1T

JAMES cRisT, OF HANNA CITY,
ILL, WANTS $4,000 FOR
WiFE's INJURY.
DEFECTIVE RoADsED
CLAIMED IN PETITION
All But $1,000 Of the Amount Asked az
Damages 10 on Account OF Wifs's
Injury-SmaIIsr Sum For Plaintiffs
Detention Here Owing to Wifs's
condition-cass Filed at ST. Paul.

The first damage suit resulting from
the wreck of No. s. the Twin Cities
Limited on the Minneapolis & St.
Louis railroad, which resulted on the
morning of March Is six miles north
of this city. was filed at st. Paul Fri
day afternoon by James Crist, of
Hanna City. Ill. Mr.. Crist asks dam
ages in the sum Of $4,000 for injuries
sustained by Mrs. Crist.
Mrs. Crist Is the young woman who
was probably thu most seriously hurt
OF any of the passengers on the train.
She had her scalp almost torn off, and
was injured about the back.
Defective Roadbed Claimed.
The allegation In the petition sets
forth that the company's roadbed was
defective, and that the wreck was due
at least in part to this condition.
In scheduling the damages $4,000 is
asked for the injuries sustained by
Mrs. Crist, and $1,000 is demanded as
damages resulting to the plaintiff by
being detained here on account Of his
wife's injuries, and the loss Of BUSH
ness opportunities in the west. Mrs.
Crist and three children were on their
way to Wenatchee, Wash, at the time
Of the wreck. and the husband had
expected to join them in the new home
in the west.
1t is said that the railroad company
had offered in settlement as damages
owing to Mrs. Crisis injuries the sum
of s1.700.
Mrs. Crist has now recovered from
her injuries, and expects to leave ST.
Thomas hospital either this evening or
Sunday.
