Colorado Jewett and the Grand Mining

AS Minerva sprang fully formed from the
brain Of Jupiter, and as Venus rose in maturec
beauty from the sea, so the Chevalier Colorado
Jewett burst upon an admiring world in the
complete perfection Of his powers Minerva
was not more wise than be, nor Venus fairer To
| look upon. His classic features, his ambrosal
locks, his manly and symmetrical form en-
tranced and delighted the eye. His massive
mind, composed of conglomeratiou Of the
most original ideas, demanded and compelled
respect. The diplomats Of the Old World and
the New acknowledged him their superior.
Palace gates few open at his approach. and
kings, queens, princes and princesses were bis
most obedient servants 10 command When

1t is not wonderful, therefore, that we should
now find all the spectators and bankers OF
New York and Boston following in the Cheva-
lier Jewett's train a. his eager aud faithful dis
ciples
1t will be remembered that when this magni
ficent ambassador from Colorado first burst
upon us as aforesaid he had two missions: one
to bring peace to his distracted country and
the other to pay off the national debt in gold
In pursuance Of these noble and patriotic OBJ
jects be crossed the raging seas; correspondent
with Queen Victoria, the Emperor Napoleon
and the Emperor Of Austria; followed up his
letters by personal visits; devised and arranged
the International Peace Congress. and did all
that mortal man could do-and more. But
alas! Colorado Jewett's peace projects failed
He leaned upon deceitful reeds, and they broke
with him. Palmerston refused to 90 into the
Peace Congress. Horace Greeley, his friend
and pitcher. deserted him. Secretary Seward,
10 moment Of jealous envy, declined to have
anything to do with him. and told him to 60 to
Gurowski. President Lincoln was engrossed
with Zacbarie. the corn cutter, and would at
tend to nobody else. So, after few more
letters to people whom he did not know,
and brief call upon the eyled Waliandigham,
in Canada the Chevalier Jewett concluded to
let the dogs Of war howl on unmuzzled, and
at once fsll back upon his mining schemes.
Thus We see that great genius may be baflled
but can never be defeated. What the Chevalier
Jewett might have accomplished, had he not
been interiered with, is matter Of conjecture.
What he has accomplished is sslf-evident
The 6nancicrs Of New York aud Boston are
wild about mines. That is tho Chevalier
JeweH's work They say that they are going
to develop the resources of the country in
order to relieve US from our immense debt.
That was the Chevalier Jewetts idea. They
state that the revenue from these mines will
more than pay the interest upon the govern
ment bonds. The Chevalier Jewett stated the
same thing, and even went 20 far as to desig-
nate the Identical mountain Of gold which he
intended to devote to this purpose. The specu-
lators have organ zed thirty or forty mining
companies here, and as many more in Boston,
where, IL our memory serves US rightly.
the Chevalier had bis spiritual photograph
taken, with gold mine in the background.
This is all the result of Colorado Jewetts teach
ings, and we have no doubt that he has him
self organized plenty Of such companies in
Europe. Some Of our leading bankers and
brokers are presidents, or secretaries, or direc.
tors, or agents Of these mines, but Colorado
Jewett is at the head Of them all They prom.
Use piles of gold; but Colorado Jewett promises
mountains and ranges Of mountains Of the pre-
cious metal. What, then, are all our financiers
compared with the great Chevalier? Sour,
sensible people sneer at these companies and
call them bubbles; but bubble blown by
Colorado Jewett must have something golden
or silvery about it, il it be only refraction Of
sunshine or moonshine, aud is consequently
precious The same people say that this
rage for bubble spsculations always fol-
lows inhation-tbat it did so in 1925,
when Malapart and George Pride aourished; in
1887, when the crisis came; and again in S5I
though not to so great an extent; and that the
mania is more furious now, because the infa
ton is more tremendous. But the Chcvalier
Jeweu laid the foundation Of his schemes
months ago, and his object is 70 make history,
not to be ruined by such historical references.
The same people say that there may be gold in
quartz. just as there is silver held In solution
by the ocean, but that il costs more 10 get il
out than the gold or silver i worth. But the
Chevalier Jewett asserts that his gold is in
mountains, not 10 quartz, aud may be had for
the picking. Are We TO listen TO the sublime
Jewett or to ordinary common sense! Our
6nanciers prefer Jewett and therefore he is
leading them, like a modern Moses, across that
Red Sea-the Mississippi to the promised land
