western railroads by the InUretaWeommerce commission as to the eanse-o-

the reported shortage of cars forntohportatlon of fuel by reason of

whleh suffering is entailed, PresidentHoward Elliott of the Northern Pact-fJc- .

,reiegraphs to the commissionfront t5t Paul, that while there Is ashortage of coal In some parts of the

country along his line, he did not

know rt any shortage in other neces-

sities. (He did not think the cause

was the extraordinary delay In mov-

ing coat, s alleged, but was ratherdue to the domestic trade, as In Mon-

tana and Idaho not enough coal was

mined to the increasing de-

mand in North Dakota and Minneso-

ta. He said rte difficulty was partlydue to trying to move too much coal

In a very short time, and party to the

Increased consumption of fuel that la

greater than the facilities for haulingand moving and storing. The severe

weather in North pwkota also aided

la the delay.

NEW SHAFT

Work was started this week n thell for the new shaft, to be dug wkiii

by the Santa Klta Mining company ,

on hill, near the Oslde property,The large and extensive hoisting ina -

enlnery from No. 7 shaft is to lie mov -

ed to the site of the new Mhaft atonce. The new shaft will be sunk toa depth of l.OHO feet by the companyto ascertain the truth of the

assertion of mining men tliat largebodies of workable copper ore would ;

lie found with greater depth in theSanta Rita district. The cost ofing the new shaft will be Immense j

and demonstrates that the Santa RitaMining company Is determined to fully

exploit their large holdings In the dis-

trict. The result will be watched withinterest by mining men all over thecounty, as a number of eminent miningengineers have predicted large bodie

of copper ore underlay the blanket

deposits In that district. Enterprise..

In Praise of Chamberlain's Coug'iRemedy.

There Is no other medicine manu-

factured that has received so much

praise and so many expressions o!

gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough

Remedy. It is effective and promptrelief follows its use. Grateful parents evety where do not hesitate to

btest ify to Its merits for the benefit

of others. It is a certain cure ircroup and will prevent the attack if

given at the first appearance or tno

disease. It is especially adapted tochildren, as It is pleasant to take andcontains nothing injurious. Mr. E. A.

Humphreys, a well known residentand clerk in the store of Mr. E. Lock,of Alice, Cape Colony, South Afric.i,savs: "I have used Chamberlain'

Cough Remedy to ward off croup andcolds In my family. I found It to be

very satisfactory and It gives me

pleasure to recommend it." For sale

be completed early In the year.More than a thousand men are now

working at the Dawson coal campsand almost as many more in the cokeovens, but it was decided at the meet-

ing to Increase the scope of the min-

ing operations.While the first object of the new-roa-

company to ship Its coal direct to ItsBishee and Douglas smelter. It Isstated on excellent authority that theultimate destination of the road Is

Denver, thus making a realization ofthe old plans for a Denver-E- l Pasoshort line.

This means a direct connection tothe gulf, a short line to El Paso frimDenver, and railroad competition forthe whole territory involved.
