Labor Day throughout the Union
was distinguished by immense parades
and public assemblages—it was a gen
eral holiday.
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, is
the senior surviving officer of the
original organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
The open season for ducks and other
water fowl began last Sunday, except
in altitudes of 7000 feet and over.
There the season does not begin until
September 15.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi
dent of the Woman's Suffage associa
tion, said in a recent speech at Ocean
Park, Me., that one-fourth of the mil
lionaires in America are women.
It has long been considered an es
tablished fact that the vice presidential
office of the United States is the politi
cal tomb of aspiring politicians, but
“Teddy” Roosevelt is still in the pub
lic eye, and will not be entombed in
that distinguished cemetery.
Public interest in the great interna
tional yacht race has increased to a
fever heat and fabulous sums have
been staked on the result. One wager
of $250,000 to $150,000, between Ameri
can and English syndicates, has been
made.
Commercially, all we wish is a fair
field and no favor, but if we are wise
we shall strenuously insist that under
no pretext whatsoever, shall there be
any territorial aggrandizement on
American soil by any of the European
powers, and this, no matter what form
the territorial aggrandizement may
take.—Roosevelt’s Labor Day Speech
at Minneapolis.
That the Boer General DeWet is not
without grim humor is shown in the
story of the captured British soldier
who complained of the quality and
sameness of the food issued to him.
The general told him he had nothing
better. “But,” said DeWet, “I’ll
capture a convoy in a few days and
then you shall have better food.” Sure
enough, he did capture a convoy, and
the complaining soldier received full
rations according to promise.
The result of the bribery trial in
Denver is that Judge Mullins does not I
believe that the accused are guilty and
has doubts as to whether there is any
law against them, even if the charges
are true. Outside of the judge the
opinions will remain very much as
they were before the trial. Some of
the Denver papers are attacking the
decision, and there are threats of con
tempt, impeachment, etc. The people
of the state at large are sick of the
whole business and call for a great
big rest. ____________
School days have come again and
the gentle school marm holds sway.
It has been asserted by the unlearned
and untutored that the presiding gen
ius of the school-room is not alto
gether gentle. This is a libel of such
magnitude that one pauses in awe at
the awful charge. In the course of a
useful career the teacher—of the femi
nine gender, be it understood—has
never bean known to lose her temper
or be cross. Has she cause? Not in
a hundred. There are not any of her
pupils who are not just what they
should be. If a boy, he never plays
any pranks in school, he studies as
hard as he can—and sometimes harder.
He is often afflicted with sore eyes on
of the severity of his applica
tion and thirst for knowledge. He is
good, never annoys and loves his dear
miebay. A girl never whispers at all,
only goes after her studies for all in

Fuel Company’s Operations.
The Osgood marble quarries on Yule
creek, Gunnison county, to be opened
on a scale commensurate with the im
portance of the best and largest beds
of marble in the west, says the Denver
Times of August 29th. Transportation
facilities to the outside world, lack of
which has been the chief cause of the
slow development of the Crystal river
mining country, is to be atforded by
the extension of the Crystal River rail
road from Placita to the quarries, a
distance of about ten miles. This is
the report received in Denver by par
ties who are heavily interested in that
localty and which are not denied by
officials of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, owners of the railroad
and controlling the quarries.
The Yule creek marble beds, the
product of which is pronounced by
Professor Arthur Lakes and other
strictly reliable geologists the finest
white marble in America for statuary
purposes, comprising as well black,
clouded and serpentine marble and of
all the varieties in quantities greater
than contained in any of the Tennes
see, Vermont or Georgia quarries. It
is not even surpassed in texture and
adaptability to the purposes of com
merce and the arts than the famed
Italian product. Dr. Cline, of Phila
delphia, who accumulated a vast for
tune in the patent medicine field, ac
quired large holdings in the marble
beds many years ago. At the time of
his death he had plans on foot to have
the great quarries properly opened
up and connected with the transconti
nental lines of railroad crossing the
western part of the state by an inde
pendent branch line. His death pre
vented the consummation of the plans
and the quarries have remained idle,
except for the small amount of stone
taken out for use in laying a portion
of the tiling floors in the capital
building.
Last year terras satisfactory to both
parties were reached whereby J. Q,
Osgood became master of the situation
and started systematic work to deter
mine the value and possibility of plac
ing the marble on the market. De
lays occurred, but within the past ten
days shipments have been made to
Chicago of a number of immense
blocks for the purpose of having thor
ough tests made of the stone. Ample
capital is ready to operate the quarry
on a large scale, and it is understood
that it will become another of the nu
merous auxiliary enterprises of the
Fuel company.
So confident are officials of the com
pany of the result of the tests that an
engineer was sent ten days ago to re
port upon the feasibility of extending
the railroad to Prospect, about three
miles below Marble, an I operating an
electric railway from that place to the
quarries. The report received was
favorable. Right of wav for the road
is already owned by the company, it
having acquired the rights of a former
company, which had its grade com
pleted almost to Marble, seven miles
from Placita, the present end of the
track. The quarries are located less
than three miles from the little town of
Marble. A few months ago a wagon
road was constructed between Marble
and the quarries and it was built on a
railroad grade, so that it will be but a
matter of small expense to lay the
track and open the new road to opera
tion.
A significant fact in connection with
this is the report from Marble that a
representative of the Fuel company is
closing contracts for the purchase of
mining properties in the Rock creek
mining district above Marble. This
may indicate the purpose of the com
pany to open up on a large scale some
of the known producing properties of
that district and extend the line to af
ford rapid transportation.
At Marble is located the plant of the
Hoffman Smelting and Refining com
pany, a copper matte smelter, adapted
to the treatment of the ores of that
district. better transportation
facilities for ore, fuel and also for its
product that may form the neuclus of
a great enterprise and all of these
things combined denoted more pros
perous days for « mining district that
has been greatly retarded in its devel
opment by lack of facilities which
would encourage greater development
aud production. The opening of the
quarries on a proper scale means the
development of a new and highly
profitable industry for the state and
the big company behind the movement.
In development work on combination
claims, where the testimony tends to
show that mining claims were consoli
dated or worked for development pur
poses, that work on the |unnel and
shafts was done to apply'on the re
spective claims, that the party doing
the work had an interest in all the
claims, and that the development
work was a benefit to all the claims,
t! ‘"stimony is sufficient to sustain a
finding that the work done in the tun
nel and shafts was beneficial to his
claims, under provisions of the laws
the United States (Revised Statutes,
section 2324) providing that where sev
eral claims tire ield in common the ex
penditdre-bf ilfork required by law to
be expended tftnnually on mining
claims may be TBade on any one of
the claims.— Fiasurf Mining Company
vs. Old Susan Min}Company (03
Pacific Reporter, supreme Court
of Utah.
Mystery Cleared Up.
A special dispatch to the Denver
Republican, under date of September
2, from Crested Butte, says the mys
tery of the disappearance of Joseph
Harlow, a miner, nine months ago,
was cleared to-day by the finding of
his dead body.
Harlow was employed at the Silver
mine, near Gothic, and with a com
panion came to Crested Butte for sup
plies. Three weeks went by, and as
Harlow did not return to the mine his
fellow workmen concluded that he had
decided to remain in town. Then it
was learned that Harlow had left on
Dec. 1 on his return journey to the
mine. His friends commenced a vigor
ous search, but heavy snows had com
pletely obliterated the trail, and the
search was reluctantly abandoned.
This summer, after the snow had
melted, the search was continued, but
it was not until to-day that R. Hallo
way,his companion on the trip from
the mine to Crested Butte, discovered
the body.
Strange to say, the body was found
near the mine. It was resting against
a tree, with the supplies strapped to
his back, just as it was when he left
town. The supposition is that he be
came lost in a blinding snowstorm,
and exhausted, sat down against the
tree to rest, expecting to resume his
search for the mine later. But, as in
many such cases, the cold aud exhaus
tion overcame him and he died where,
he sat. Harlow was within half a mile
of the mine, but did not know it.
