IN VIRGIN GROUND.
Mining Men Declare Vein the Great

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Cripple Creek, Colo.-A gold discov-
cry said to surpass anything ever
within the last few days in the Vindi-
Gator mine at Cripple Creek. The far
famed "jewelry box" opened in the
Cresson mine a year ago is said to
pale into insignificance beside this
new find. A completely new vein sys-
tenn has been tapped that is in virgin
territory, and that may extend clear
to the surface.
Following the strike in the six
teenth level, developments to open
the new vein were started in the
fourteenth with view to determining
its possible extent. In the meantime
the drift at the original discovery
depth was being prosecuted, with the
result that recently while the new
work at the fourteenth was bearing
fruit the drift at the lower level was
proving a new shoot length of 400
feet and width of from thirty to for
ty feet. Practically the entire vein
filling is high grade ore.
Cripple Creek scarcely needed this
fresh stimulus to deep mining. The
story of the Vindicator is being re-
Elected in kind by all the new work
being prospected in its great mines at
depth. Everywhere the story is one
of new ore bodies. increased values,
reserves that guarantee heavy pro-
duction for many years above the
level of the Roosevelt drainage tun-
mel. The "jewelry shop" of the
Cresson was extraordinary in the con-
centration of values in its ores, but
the Vindicator strike. in quantity and
total worth, bids fair to far exceed 1t
both in ultimate extraction and i'm
portance to the mining industry OF
the camp.

Thirty Saved in Hospital Fire.

Pueblo.-Fire gutted a portion OF
the west wing OF st. Mary's hospital,
endangering the lives OF thirty pa
tents in that end of the structure and
for half an hour threatened the des-
truction of the entire building. Due
to the heroism of the sisters. nurses
and firemen not life was lost and
no serious injuries reported. The
fire originated from unknown sources
in the basement near the main en-
trance to the west wing and had
eaten its way through the first floor
and into the partitions of the wooden
walls before 1t was discovered.
When the fire department arrived
flames were bursting from the doors
and windows and Chief Christie
turned in second and general alarms.
Before the arrival of the firemen. the
sisters and nurses of the hospital
staff had removed the more critically
i'll patients from their rooms and to
more remote sections of the hospital.
Without confusion and excitement,
but with extreme rapidity. the sisters
and nurses handled some twenty pa
tients, and then turned the rescue
work over to the firemen.

the inducement held forth by public
advertising would bring every editor
into line. The land office patronage
in this county is appraised at several
thousand dollars a year, which is cal
culated to arouse the cupidity of the
average editor. According to the rul-
ing of the land office the Daily b.
nanza or any other Republican paper
in Nevada could have increased its
revenue by simply overlooking the
faults of the administration and re-
garding its performances with the
friendly eye of charity. The Bonanza
refused to be whipped into line or
surrender principles for which it had
fought manfully for the last fifteen
years, and therefore the Bonanza has
not been included in the papers pull
ing at the public teat for sustenance.
However, since such an eminent au-
thority as Woodrow Wilson has estab-
lished the practice, there is no reason
why the Hughes-Fairbanks admins
tration should not follow the prece-
dent. Furthermore, since there will
not be another Democratic admins
tration for the next fifty years, the
prospect for Nevada editors, who sur
vive the four years of prescription,
suggests a new feet of Super-Sixes

~WATCHFUL WAITING
AT LAST

Carranza, after taking all the time
he needed for reflection, has notified
Washington that he is ready to sub
nit the differences existing between
the American and Mexican govern
ments to diplomacy. While the Will
son administration was "~watchfully
waiting" for an answer to it's concili-
atory note addressed to Carranza, that
gentleman's troops, at Carrizal, while
negotiations were being carried on
between commanders under a flag of
truce, treacherously attacked the
American troops, killing a dozen or
more of them. Leaving all other Mex
lean outrages out Of the question, 1t
is hard to see how this massacre a
be adjusted by diplomacy, or what
guarantee a government that will
countenance such conduct on the part
of its officers can give for its future
good behavior.
The Mexicans have been generous
ly treated by Americans, in return for
which they have pillaged and plum
dered our border towns, killing many
i~noffensive citizens. While diplomacy
is all right in its way, there comes a
time when patience ceases to be a
virtue, and if this handful Of Carran-
za's vagabond followers will not be
good, it is time for the American gov
eminent to make them good.
