French Flag To

Captain c. S. Ripley arrived

and i'm I'm ediately began prepara-
tions to resume work on the
French Flag mine in ellison gulch
The boiler and holster are now
being thoroughly overhauled and
put i'll first, class condition and it
is expected that everything will be
in shape to commence work by
the first of the coming month.
Stephen Harper, the we'll known
mining man of Gilpin and Clear
Greek counties, has charge of the
work. The French Flag mine is
the eastern extension OF the Silver
Age and is equally as good as the
parent property. 1t has produced
several thousand dollars and has
never been fully developed. With
the opening of new territory OH
this vein it should become one OF
the best dividend payers in the
district.
II is encouraging to see the old
reliable mines again placed in CON-
mission and it reflects the optimis'
tic feeling prevailing among the
investors who forsee prospect.

Many Citizens See
Their Elk UnlOaded

The receiving of twenty five head
Of wild elk proved an attraction
sufficient to draw several hundred
people to their unloading near the
Roberts mill early las, Saturday
afternoon.
Contrary to expectations the elk
did not make a break for liberty
as soon as the car door was opened
but required considerable effort
before they would venture down
the incline provided for them.
After time one animal left the
car, looked about and started for
the hills at good speed but did not
go in the direction it was planned
to have her go. Soon another ca me
out and followed closely her fo--
mer compan nion. Then third one
ventured out and followed up the
creek. After that all went well,
for the fourth elk out of the car
stayed close in, apparently not
much frightened and as the others
were driven from the car they soon
grouped together presenting a
pretty sight and even affording
opportunity to have their picture
taken by ambitious kodakers. The
group of 22 beautiful elk were
then quietly driven up the creek
and they slowly climbed the steep
rocky side of the mountain and
were soon lost to view.
The elk were shipped rom Bill
ings. Mont, instead of Wyoming as
was at first thought. There were
2o received here but one was IN
jured and was taken out of the car
and removed to Curnow's barn
where It was given medical attep-
ton but died.
1t is reported that the full herd
has been seen grazing at the head
of Spring gnlch.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 4.-The
immigration bill has been laid away
in its little alright pigeonhole until
next December 1t will net be attach
ed as a rider to the child labor mea-
sure or any other proposition now
pending. 1t is pronounced dead for
this session Of Congress. 49,.
This final disposition of a bother
some question followed another eau
Gus of Democratic senators. The de-
claration by Senator Borah that he
would offer the immigration bill in its
entirety as an amendment to the child
labor bill placed the Democrats in
a deep cavity They were much dis
tressed and sought means of extrica'
ton from the predicament that prom.
ised much Of evil and nothing of good.
Hence, the caucus. ..
1t was deter lined after solemn
conclave to jump in and vote down
the immigration bill when suggested
as an amendment, thereby throwing
it over until next winter. A conclu-
SIGN to that effect had been prey1.
ously reached, but the announcement
by Mr.. Borah threw if all out OF
plumb. T.. -.
Unless the Democrats followed the
course indicated nothing could have
prevented the adoption of the immi.
grafton bill. More titan two-thirds OK
the senator's, without regard to party,
ere in favor of such legislation. 1t
would have been accepted in conjunc-
tion with other legislation, or as a
separate measure. .=r%
AS the situation now stands the
immigration bill will be passed some
time during the coming short session
of Congress. All indications are that
it will be vetoed by Presidents Wilson,
as he did before, following the ex-
ample of President Taft. "A count OF
noses has been made in both senate
and house, the result being an asser.
tion that sufficient votes will be
found to make the legislative effective
despite the executive disapproval.
The political advantage derived
from pcstponement of the immigration
bill will be evenly divided between
the two big parties. Each can safe.
ly declare their interest in the alien
and make promises for future protec
ton. In addition, each can place all
blame for failure to pass the bill on
the other side. i

PROHIBITION in
HAWAII TO WAIT
ANOTHER YEAR
Senate Votes Down Ruling of
Marshall on Amendment
BY Three to One
By c. s. ALBERT.

ASpecial Star.Bnlietln C0rrespondence)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 4.-The
last hope for prohibition in the terri
tcry of Hawaii has gone glimmering
for this year. There will be no action
by Congress, either in the direction
Of positive restrictions or reference
to the people of an indication of SEN
timent The abandonment of the
Sheppard proposition has thrown the
matter over for disposition at the
short session.
1t is true the various senate and
house bills providing for prohibition
in Hawaii never have reached the
stage of actual consideration. The
best chance seemed to be short cut
instead of the longer journey around
the township. The Sheppard plan ar
ranged drastic prohibition for the dis
trict of Columbia. A brief amend:
ment including Hawaii would have
been added at the proper time when
ever this bill came to the last stages.
II was pressed with great vigor by
Mr. Sheppard.
Within the last few days Ii seemed
almost certain that the Sheppard bill
would come to a test vote, being Of
fered as an amendment to the district
of Columbia appropriation bill. The
opening was afforded when Vice Presi-
dent Marshall held that another
amendment, ordinarily held to be not
geimane. was in order. This greatly
enheartened the advocates of temper
snce. The antis Of the capital city
were so taken by storm and surprise
that they largely augmented the inter.
nal revenue receipts. 1t was naturally
believed that If the one amendment
stuck providing prohibition it would
come to decisive vote, And with
il Hawaii would have been dry or
wet
1t turned out that a vast proper
tion of senators did not agree with
the vice-president that outside amend
ments were in order. More than three
to one they voted the proposition pro-
nounced in order Senator Sheppard
Immediately permitted it to become
known that 10 further efforts for
prohibition in Washington would be
laade until. Congress reassembles next
December. -
Thus endeth another legislative
chapter. .-. -.
