DOUBLE-HEADER
CASE BRIEFED.
ATTORNEY CAMPBELL PRESENTS
HIS CASE TO THE COMMISSION.
ttaramlng Up the Testimony In the Double-
Header Investigation—Bridge on a Joint
Track Burned-It Delays Traffic on the
T. & F. and the G. H.-Local Kallroad
Gossip.
Col. T. M. Campbell, attorney for the
complainants in the double-header in-
vestigation has submitted hie brief in
the caee to the railroad commission. In
part he says:
"The evidence introduced at the hear-
ing before the railroad commission be-
gun and holden on March 27, 1900, dis-
oloees the fact that thre* railroad com-
panies, viz: The Fort Worth and Den-
ver City, the Galveston, Harrisburg and
San Antonio, and the Gnlf, Colorado &
Santa Fe Railroad companies are at
this time engaged in the practice of
operating doubleheaders in Texas, and
these lines of railway have filed, through
their oonnsel, arguments herein oppos-
ing interference by the railroad com-
mission. Attention is called to the
fact that the arguments above referred
to assail the new law and question its
policy rather than the unreasonable
degree of hazard to employees as a re-
sult of this unnecessary and useless in-
novation in railroading.
"If the commission after a full con
sideration should concur in our view as
to hazard then yon will correct, regn
late or prohibit altogether the practice.
That the danger can be lessened by re-
ducing the number of carB per train to
ing at 7.20 for San Antonio, did not
leave until 2 o’clock this morning. Sup-
erintendent Martin iH on the scene and
expects to have a temporary bridge
ready for traffic early this morning.

Special correspondence to the Times.
Chloride, A, T., May 11—There are
a large number of new mining capital-
ists in town from various parts of the
country brought thither by the sale of
the Tennesse mine and the merging of
it with the Elkhart company. The
amount involved in the pm chase of the
Tennessee mine is Dot made known at
present, bnt it is estimated by the char-
acter of that well known mine to be en-
ormous. The company, which now in
eludes both the Elkart and Tennnessee
mines, will at once proceed to make el-
aborate improvements, one of which
will be the erection of a large company
store on Tennessee avenue between
town and the mines Both mines are
equipped with reduction works and
steam hoists and further expense and
outley of money will adhere directly to
development in the vast underground
workings in both properties.
The Schuylkill mine, lying directly
between the Elkhart and Tennessee
mines, is making ready to resume work
on an extensive soale. First in the be-
ginning of work will be the erection of
a 100-ton concentrator which will be on
the gronnd before this reaches the
eyes of the readers of The Times.
Next will be the letting of a 400-foot
sinking contract near the old workings
and drifts of 100 feet each way from
each 100-foot level of the new shaft.
Simultaneously with this, work in the
old 250-foot tunnel will commence,
where there is already a.fine showing
of ore to begin on. The work thus laid
out will require the services of thirty
or more men to begin with, and as the
work is developed more will be re-
quired.
The late strike of rich galena and sil-
ver ore on the Redemption mine, be-
longing to Robert J. Fergusson Sons &
Co., is quite a windfall for the happy
owners. From a six inch pay streak at
the time of the discovery less than a
month ago, the vein of rich pay ore
now measures about thirty inches, and
is of a more solid character. That is,
being freer from qnartz and other mat-
ter. Galena is an exception in this dis-
trict, as bnt little of it has ever been
found in very large quantities, but al-
ways of a rich character in silver, and
not infrequently with high grade per-
centage in gold an copper. Four of
the owners are now at work on the Re-
demption with day and night shifts
and one man sorting and sacking ore.
As these lines are being penciled, ore
from the Jnno mine is being loaded on
the oars bound for Denver. This will be
the largest shipment the mine has ever
made from its new workings and under
its new proprietorship, Mr. E. T. Lay.
The shaft is being pushed downward as
fast as two shifts of men can do it, and
the ore is growing better in size and
character.
The Oro Plata mine in Tood Basin, a
mining district ten miles southeast of
here, is receiving a new ovation of
work and interest oaused by the open-
ing np of a new body of gold qnartz in
its 550 foot tnnnel. The ore is said to
be of almost fabulous richness, the
quartz hanging together by threads and
strings of gold. The mine has been
worked for a number of years and has
been a great and good producer of pay
ore, but for the past few years has been
worked mostly by leasers, many of
whom have become rich by the product
of their labor. As might be expected,
the mine has many hundreds of feet of
these long drifts which opened up the
new ore body.
In Weaver gold district some new and
very rich ore is being taken out at this
time. The principal ore producers are
the Virginia and Ramrod mines, bnt
there are others just coming in which
are taking ont shipping ore. The ore
is free milling and carries no by-pro
ducts of any nature.
Between White Hills and the Colorado
river there is a gold district beiDg
opened up which, for all the work or
notoriety it has ever had, might be
termed a new field for the miner and
prospector. M. D Lattin went in there
over a year ago with his dry washer
from the Chimeubevis placer district
and began work. His labors were re-
warded by the finding of placer gold in
qnantitiee of from half to full miner’s
wages, and sometimes more By this
means he was enabled to prospect for
ledge matter, and succeeded in doing
so and took ont and shipped
some of the ore. The returns from
this justified him in continuing
work at the same place with the recent
result of the finding of a larger and
better body of ore. This discovery and
success of Mr. Lattin in a small way,
has been followed bv others until now
there are five or six miners and pro-
speotors in the locality. This section
of Mohave county attracted a great deal
of attention by the acquirement and
working of a mine called the Jumbo by
the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Pat-
terson, N. J., and about that time there
was quite a rush of people and miners
to the new camp, bnt which is several
miles away, and the nearest land mark
to the new district referred to above.
Union Pass seems to have dropped
ont of sight in the mining pnblio and a
recent visit of Mr. Richardson from that
old camp to this city made known the
fact that there was nothing doing in the
mines whatever. Formerly this was a
dlstriot which produced fair quantities
of ore, but one by one the mines were
deserted and the steam hoists, horse
whims and other improvements were
either hauled away or left standing
idle. In fact the camp wonld not have
been heard from bnt for Mr. Richard-
son, who keeps a water station in the
pass and came here to attend a celebra-
tion May 1.

BOILS f CARBUNCLES
These unwelcome visitors usually appear in the spring or summer, when the blood is making an extra effort to free
mi
itself from the many impurities that have accumulated during the winter months.
Carbuncles, which are more painful and dangerous, come most frequently on the back of the neck
eating great holes in the flesh, exhaust the strength and often prove fatal. Boils are retarded bv some
pr _________
people as blessings, and they patiently and uncomplainingly endure the pain and inconvenience'under
the mistaken idea that their health is being benefited, that their blood is too thick anyway and this is

u...™ idieved the entire system will suffer. The boil or carbuncle gives warning of serious internal
troubles, which are only waiting for a favorable opportunity to develop. Many an old sore, running ulcer

Keep the blood pure, and it will keep the

IT,flier O’Leary’s Narrow Escape at
the Battle of Pnnrdeberg.
Chaplain O’Leary of the first contin-
gent, writing to his brother, James L.
O’Leary,of the postofflee department at
Ottawa, from Bloemfontein, says:
“One particular incident may interest
you. In Sunday’s battle (Paardeberg),
when the enemy’s fire was most furi-
ous, we had taken shelter In the open
as best we could until a lull In firing
would allow us to rush forward. Be-
hind an ant hill I lay prone, sharing the
tiny shelter with one of the Black
Watch. Finding that there was not
room for two. I decided on making a
dash for a little mound some 50 yards
forward. As 1 raised myself 011 my
hands and knees preparatory to a dash
1 remember him calling out: ‘My God,
sir, take care. God speed you.’ Just
then a volley was directed at us, too
late for me, but alas for him. Next
moruing at early dawn 1 found him
behind our friendly anthill just as I
had left him, but pierced through heart
anil body with bullets that perhaps had
been Intended for me. Do you kuow
that a feeling of guilt came over me as
I gazed on my poor companion of an
hour7 But still had I remained a min-
ute longer this letter would never have
been written.
‘Another trying moment was when
In the early hours we were lying al-
most within touch of a laager. Oh,
hdw that hell fire mowed down every-
thing around us! But we held our
ground, and when day broke the Boers
hoisted the white flag and surrendered,
the best tribute ever given to Canadian
worth and Canadian bravery. While
every one of the other regiments is
loud in our praise we can well afford to
be proud of our brave boys. They are
Indeed worthy of It.”
