College of Bishops Declines
to Accept Carnegie's
Money.

Nashville. Tenn, June plat {
called meeting of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
attended by nine members of the
College of Bishops, a veto message
was drawn up, setting forth the fol
lowing objection to the action o.
the board of trustees in accepting
the recent gift form Andrew Carne.
gle to the Vanderbilt Medical Col
lege:
THAT the action of the board Of
trust of Vanderbilt in accepting
the gift is a breach of trust vested
init, and by virtue of the resolutions
of the Memphis convention, which
constitutes the foundation of Var
derbilt University; that said action
is beyond the powers of the board
and that it constitutes a diversion
of large portion Of the funds anc
property of the university from the
trusts upon which said property is
held is contrary to the terms OF
other gifts to the university, and
illegal, null and void"
A copy of this action will be GER
titled and forw arded the the secre-
tary of the board of trust of the
university. Those attending the
meeting were Bishops Collins Den
ny, E. r. Hendrix, w. r. Lambeth,
E. d. Mouzon, j. C. Kilgo. J H.
Mccoy, E. +. Hoss, H. c. Morri-
son and w. A. Chandler.
In addition to veto message,
the bishops addressed a general
message to the Church, stating
their reasons for opposing the gift
They say in part:
eff this gift had been offered
without embarrassing conditions,
as all other gifts to the institution
have been made, we could have
offered no objection to its accep-
lance. But the condition attached
to this gift and the letter accompa-
nying it, which must be taken as
expository of the conditions, are
such as led US to believe it cannot
be accepted without a breach OF
trust; and without dishonor to the
Church if conditions are fulfilled in
good faith to the donor.
The resolutions vetoing the 81 )
100000 gift by Carnegie were adopt
cd unanimously by the College Of
Bishops

Brittany's Hair Harvest.

It is at Easter time that the curious
''hair harvest" of Brittany Is "reaped''
by the travelling merchants, who go
from village to village buying the
beautiful hair for which the Breton
bellies are famous. This Is later de-
stined to be made up into "transfor-
nations" "fringes" and other mys-
terious arrangements with which Ia
dies less abundantly endowed by ma
ture make up their shortcomings In
the matter Of "woman's browning
glory" The clients Of the hair buyers
are chiefly country lasses in the re-
moter districts, who are only too
pleased to sell their tresses In order to
obtain little money to spend at the
Easter fairs. The harvest" however,
is said not to be SO good as formerly,
as with the spread of education and
the love of display many girls prefer
to keep their hair.-Wide Awake Mag

Wonderful Crater Lake.

Where once lowered the highest
peak in this country Is now only a
part Of the shell, and within 1t lies
wonderful Crater lake, in Oregon.
This is the view taken by biologists.
This was Mount Mazama, a great vol
cano, which, probably before the
dawn of life upon earth, lowered high
above any mountain now within the
boundary of the United States. Thou
sands of years ago it disappeared into
the bowels of the earth. Crater lake,
six miles in diameter, Is 1000 feet
deep in places, and parts of the walls
rise perpendicularly another 1000 feet.

GOVERNMENT REPORT ON
QUARTZ HILL P|7CHBLENDE

siIbilities which cannot be replaced:
The value of the radium in this ore
at the minimum market price would
be $528, 200.
"The figures given show very plain
ly that the United States has taken
the palm from Austria ais the radium
producing country of the world. Very
few people have been cognizant of
the fact that-the United States has
such deposits within her borders. Up
to tine present time one firm has EN-
gagged in the extraction and refining
of radium i'm this country-a condition
which is deplorable. This firm has
not yet entered the radium market.
"The applications Of radium are
still too little understood to admit of
definite statement. Its discovery and
marvellous properties have already
changed our ideas regarding the con-
stitution of matter and scientific in
vestigations will undoubtedly lead to
valuable results which we cannot now
even foresee. The best medical au-
thorfties appear to agree that up to
the present time, radium has not been
proved to be specific for any dis
ease, although it has been shown to
be helpful in many cases and the out
look for its future application to GER
tain diseases not easily treated other
wire are decidedly encouraging.
at is the purpose of the Bureau OF
Mines to encourage the development
of radium industry in the United
States"

The Pts are feeling rather disccurag-
ed, having received SO many defeats,
but there is still time and they may
yet come out ahead.

NEW SYSTEM OF ASSESSMENT

In mahlng assessments under the
new law passed by the last legisla-
ture, the county assessor has no dis
cretion in the matter but Is bound
by the instructions of the Colorado
TaH Commission. Every property
item set forth in the schedule and
make affidavit to the truth of his
answers. A penalty of $25.00 Is
charged against the assessor should
he accept the schedule Of any per-
SON not made, and sworn to.
Money, credits, book accounts and
all other accounts not evidenced by
writing are to be listed at their full
value. Poultry and bees are to be
taxed. A taxpayer is allowed to de-
duct his debts from his credits in
LISTING his property for taxation. In
case a person claims he has no tax
able property, he will have to make
oath in the schedule to that effect.
In assessing mining property, it Is
divided into two classes, producing
and non-producing Mines annually
producing precious metals exceeding
Sc, 900 in value are assessed accord
ing to their output. Valuation for
assessment shall be found by taking
500 of the gross output and adding
thereto the entire net output. Gross
output is defined as the value Of the
mill or smelter returns, without al
lowing any deduction for expense OF
extraction, transportation, or treat
ment. improvements and machinery
on mining claims shall be assessed
separately at their full cash value.
The assessor is instructed, in de-
termining the true value of taxable
property, the market value shall be
the guide. When property cannot be
fairly said to have a market price,
the price 1T would bring at a fair vol
untary sale and not dts price at a
forced sale. What the owner is will
ing to sell a piece of property for
does not constitute value. An under
standing of the new law will faciH-
tate the work of the assessor as he
is bound to follow the law impartial
ly under penalty.

GUY HILL SURVEY FINISHED

County Surveyor, l. B. Williams has
the survey for the new
road over Guy hill. This survey
makes the road cnly lis feet longer.
but puts the road on a uniform grade
of about per cent. whereas the old
road now has short stretches where
the grade is more than 20 per cent.
The new survey takes the road
away from the creek bottoms and
puts it back from all danger of high
water. hence makes it much easier
and cheaper to keep up.
The patrons of this road have rails
ed a large sum of money and pro-
pose to donate much work, agreeing
to do much OF the dirt work asking
the county to do the rock work.
This is one Of the leading roads
into the mountains and Black Hawk
Central City and other towns on
North Clear Creek propose to help
build this new road.-Golden Globe.

FIFTY SALE POSTPONED

At the sale of the property OF the
Fifty Gold Mines Corporation held
yesterday noon on the court house
steps. large number of local and
out of town buyers were present in
addition to numerous spectators. In
offering the property, Fermor ]. Spen-
Ger stated that the title to the real
estate and personal property was
without dispute and all bids subject
to the approval of the court. The
real estate was first put up for bids.
A bid of $4,000 was offered but as
the court had decreed that no bid of
less than $4,000 would be consid-
cred, it was not accepted. The per-
sonal property was then offered, the
trustee stating that the property had
cost $4,000. Outside and local par
ties bid. starting at 5000 and gradual
ly raising to $575, the last bid. The
trustee refused to consider any bid
below 81. 900 in the interest of the
creditors. The third parcel was pass
ed as there was no bid. The sale
was then postponed until Tuesday,
June 10th. Much disappointment was
manifested by those present, including
the trustee in bankruptcy as it was
supposed that several parties were
prepared to bid for the property un-
der the terms of the court.

THE FIRE LADDIES

To show the estimable opinion of
the Golden FTemen for their broth
ers in Black Hawk, we reprint the
following excerpt from the Golden
Globe:
"Toot ,toot! Have you got your

which leaves Golden at 1885 this eve-
ming for Black Hawk? If not you
had better be getting one, because
the committee only had a limited
number to start with and you surely
do not want to. miss a good time
such as you are bound to have If you
leave with the Firemen tonight on
the special to Black Hawk. We will
state for the last time that you Will
have more fun for dollar tonight
than YOU could have for twice as
much any where else on earth.
Now just think of this. good
long enjoyable ride, a most enjoyable
dance and a-well you will see when
you arrive at Black Hawk what a
good time you will be greeted with.
Have you ever gone to the noun
tains with the Firemen and regretted
it after you got home, or did you
ever see the time you were not treat
ed right by the Firemen Of Black
Hawk? No, and you never will"

mine.

Some great ore has been disclosed
in the 275-foot level of the Gilpin-
Orion property on Bobtail hill. Man
ager w. A. Miller reports assay val
ues of $1.533.S6 per ton. The ore
contains SO ounces gold, 213 ounces
silver and 1870 per cent copper. De-
velopment work is progressing on the
215- and 275-foot levels with the re-
suit that the dead work Is more than
paying its way. Recent shipments
of smelling ere gave returns of $6S.96
per ton. The showing on this prop
erty warrants the belief that with
conservative handling it will prove
as great bonanza as any mine on
the famous Bobtail hill.
