SAFETY FIRST ON SUNDAY

The news columns carry accounts
of two accidents on Sunday, in which
seven persons were killed, through
automobile collisions with trains. In
each of these the result was due to
the inexperience of the drivers. These
are but two of many similar accidents
recorded each summer. Sunday is
especially day on which such things
occur, for then folks lay aside their
usual vocations and seemingly their
caution as we'll Engaged in the pur-
suit of pleasure, no matter how harm
less or reasonable, they act different
ly, and get into trouble. Safety first
is a rule that ought to work seven
days in the week. Its observance will
prevent the happenings, recital of
which shock the readers of the Mon
day morning newspapers. This does
not apply to autoists alone but is COM
mended to all who seek recreation
outdoors on pleasant Sunday af-
ternoon.

CUMMINs' CHANCES
FOR PRESIDENT

'As far as the nomination Is con-
cerned, my chances were neve,
brighter than they are at present, .
said Senator Albert b. Cummins,
candidate for the republican presi-
Dental nomination, who stopped in
Des Moines Monday, en- route to
Washington, ID. c., from Oregon,
where he has spent week speaking
in the interests of his candidacy.
Senator SCummins' friends who
spent yesterday comforting with him
in Des Moines, and Louis G. Kurtz,
who returned with him from his tour
of Oregon asserted that the result of
the primary election in that state
which showed large majority for
Justice Hughes was not unexpected
and that their chief interest in Ore
gon was to defeat Burton, who hau
made three weeks campaign there.
They were assisted in their cam
paign in Oregon by the Roosevelt
forces, who are making strenuous eff
forts to defeat the Hughes movement.
Hughes own success in Oregon
will react to his disadvantage, they
say, in that he is placed in the posi-
ton of an avowed candidate and will
no longer benefit by the element of
uncertainty as to his probable ac-
ceptance of the nomination should
1t be offered to him. AS justice of
the supreme court he canot afford
to take anything less than prac-
tically unanimous nomination by the
convention, and he has signified that
he would accept nothing less, &C
cOrding to the Cummins forces. They
are certain that he will never get
such support, they say.
Senator Cummins predicted long
drawn out session of Congress which
will last at least until August and
perhaps later, il the administration
insists upon the completion of its
program of legislation. Republicans
have little chance to get anything
done, and no measures will receive
any attention until the administra-
ton has disposed of it's own meas
ures. He gave the army bill which
has been passed by congress his APP
proval.
Cummins' headquarters will be
opened in Chicago on June l., at
which time Charles A. Rawson ex-
poets to arrive in the convention city.
Mr.. Rawson received formal notifi-
cation yesterday that he has been
elected one of the assistant secretar-
les of the convention. Lafayette b.
Gleason of New York City will be
secretary of the convention.
The Iowa delegation will meet in
Chicago on June to select its COM
mittee members and complete other
details of organization.
Arthur Farquhar of this city is one
of the alternate delegates to the Chi
cago convention, but he will not leave
until June 9Th.

WHY MOST CARS FAIL

In the 13 years since Mitchell start
ed hundreds of makers have fallen.
And hundreds more will fall.
They fail through lack of service.
Time proves that rival ears can 'out-
wear them.
So in every line. Records show that
not one in ten meets the test of time.
This concern was 20 years old when
it built the first Mitchell car. We
knew what Time s verdict meant So
we never attempted a quick success.
We built for the years to come.

Citizens Indignant
Over Road Condition

Even county commissioner has
his troubles and right now they
are multiplied. The condition of
the county road east to Floyd Hill,
which IS undergoing repairs is in
such condition ~ places that to
travel over it means serious dam
age if not ruination to tires.
Tourists coming up to the city
have gone back to give the road a
black eye. The business people of
idaho Springs are indignant, fear
ing an almost total loss of auto
traffic for the season. In some
quarters the feeling has been SO
bitter that an indignation meeting
is threatened. The gist of the
complaint seems to be that entirely
too much of the road is torn up at
once and left in an unfinished con-
dition for too long time, with
sharp broken rock covering the
road and cutting the tires. 1t is
contended that if sections of the
road were completely finished be-
1 fore other stretches were torn up
/ the travellers could overlook the
| condition and realize an apprecia-
tion Of the finished road.
The men IN charge of the work
contend that thev are handling
their gangs of laborers in the way to
secure the greatest economy for the
county. they assert that to have
larger force in each place would
not result in the eff cheney now OBJ
tanned.
Some of the business men actu-
ally favor finishing what has
been started and abandoning fur
ther work until fall but Others pre-
fer to go on through with the job
in more systematic manner and
suffer the consequences IN the
meantime.
AT any rate the work was start
ed six weeks too late in the season.
1t will require al least six weeks
more to finish.
When completed, the road will
be Is feet wide wide with a two
| foot ditch on the inside and will be
one OF the best mountain roads in
the country.
| In the meantime the commits
sloners are having their ubles
and SO are the auto drivers.

Old MiXSell Mill
Running Steadily

The old Mixsell mill, now operat-
ed by the Idaho Bride Mining and
Milling company, is running stead
lis on mill ore from the company's
lease on the Seaton vein. The ore
carries very fair value of silver,
lead and zinc.
. No attempt is made to amalga-
mate, concentration being the only
method used. The finished pro-
duct is separated into two classes
lead and zinc concentrates. An
average of $50 tons of crude ore is
treated every week, which returns
from 20 to % tons of concentrates.
1t is the intention of this company
to inaugurate a system of develop
ment of the mine this month that
will increase the output to more
than twice that of the present time.
Jack Kemmerer is now in charge
of both mine and mill and he is
one of those hustling mining men
that generally get what they go
after.

HaughtOn Encounters
Rich Ore Streak

w. r. Haughton and associates,
who secured lease on the Bell
man mine in ellison gulch some
time ago, have been developing the
same and last week encountered a
body of ore in the 2SO-foot level
east of the shaft that will amply
reward them for their labor. The
streak is Is inches wide and in
creases with every foot of advan-
cement in the drift. The ore car
ries gold, silver, lead and copper
and is of higher value than the
average ore of that district, and is
directly beneath the ore body that
was taken out on the level above.
The Bellman mine has in the
past produced many thousands of
dollars worth of high grade ore
and is in the best part of the fam
Gus ellison gulch district, situated
between the Gem and Santa Fe
mines, and carrying the same
character of ore that made these
two old reliable properties the
, best in the country.
There can be no good reason
why it should not in the near fu-
ture rank among the very best
| dividend PAYERS in the county.

Pipe Is Here For
New Water Line

The water pipe in East Miner
street for distance of 1880 feet is
to be relaid with a new heavy six
inch iron pipe. The old pipe is
four inches and is said to be bad
ly filled with corrosion, and could
never be properly flushed as the
outlet extension to the creek is
only two inches in size.
The city advertised for bids for
the work, but Water Commissioner
Jones and the water committee
have decided that it will be best
for the city to do the work under
the supervision of the water COM
missioner.
1t was planned to dig a trench
along the line of the old pipe and
lay the new pipe alongside the old
but it is found that the pipe does
not lay in conformity with the
line of the street. Test holes
have been dug to locate the pipe
as no city records show the exact
location. 1t will be possible to
follow the old pipe for one-fourth
the distance, but east OF the cold
spring the pipe runs close to the
middle of the street and will be
abandoned. The new line will be
laid close to the north curb line
and will not materially interfere
with the street traffic.
The estimated cost, as figured
by Mr.. Jones, is S1125 for digging
and back filling. The pipe and
fittings cost S27OO, making total
estimated cost of S3S25. This will
be exceeded, however, as different
complications develop and since
the city will make the new con
nections for the consumers. The
only bid submitted for the excava-
ton work was by O. II. Waldo who
offers to do the work for Al cents
per ineal foot. The city expects
to do it for less than 80 cepts.
