| Mr.. Conlon, of this city, who went
out with the Black Hills exploring cx-
pedition last April, hus returned after
M unsuccessful journey into the disput-
ed lands. He organized an expedition
to the San Juan region Of southern Col
Orado, i'll Boulder county, which has
been prospectrd for years. lie found II
rich gold bearing lode which WAS work.
ed profitubly for weeks, which proves
that the country, by some supposed to
be exhausted, is still better field for
operations than the famous Blnck Hills.
OF the great army of adNcnturcrs who
visited Nebraska in search of gold in
the Black Hills not one las brought
back II hundred dollars in gold. The
Superintendent Of the Chicago Swansea
Smelling works has made over twenty
different nssays Of gold quartz taken
from the Black Hills and says not one
| specimen has reached II value of $50 to
the ton. Compare these two locations,
one i'll Dakota, hard Of access, and the
other i'll Colorado, where every conven-
fence of life is Mt hand, one with barren
wealth of $50 per ton, the other with M
assay Of $2i09U ca per ton, nnd the fool
ishnsss of miners i'll lending themselves
TO the scheme Of the Indians is appa-
rent. During the six weeks Mr.. Condor
was i'll Magnntia district Of Boulder
county he prOspectcd lUdcs Of fabulous
wealth which put a termination to his
wild goose chase TO the Black Hills.
Having natural local pride Condor
hns returned to Chicago with u splcnd-
cd cabinet OF specimens Of ores, etc.

hcrS "f his congregation, read his poe
