A COLORADO SILVER STORY.
Denver (Col.) Tribune.

The La Plata Miner reports another rich
discovery in San Juan. This time the
lucky finder is Charles Gibbon, and the
find is second to none in the country for
richness in silver from the very surface.
Last week Mr.. Gibbon, accompanied by
Messrs. Wood and Frazier, started for the
San Miguel lakes for the purpose ofspending
a few days fishing. AT q point eight miles
up Mineral creek they went into camp, and
Mr.. Gibbon started out to hunt mountain
sheep. In ascending the mountain he came
upon a piece of rich float, and his curiosity
thus excited, he commenced a search for
the lead and after looking the ground over
nearly all the afternoon, was rewarded by
the discovery of the vein. He returned tc
camp, and the fishing excursion was post
poned by a unanimous vote. In the NOR
ming the boys went up to the discovery, and
having no pick or shovel, they sharpened c
stick at one end and fiattened it at the
other, and began taking out mineral. They
secured la pounds, which they brought tt
the Silverton smelling works andhad mil
run made, which gave 267 ounces in silver
to the ton, which we believe, is the bes
mill run ever m ade in the country from
ore taken at the very surface, withou
the use of either pick or shovel. The or,
which was brought to the smelter is not
fair average of what they are now taking
out. They have put a force of men at worI
upon the mine, and are now taking out OH
ton of first class ore per day. They will in
crease their force as fast as they can worl
men to advantage. They are striking
shaft now, and will be able in a few week
as soon as they get stopping ground-t
take out two or three tons per day. Thi
rich 6ndis located about eight miles from
Silverton, on the San Miguel trail. TIL,
gentlemen who are interested in this new
ind-Messrs. Gibbon, Moore, Frazier ant
Wood-are all temperate, hard-workin!
men, and in every way worthy of tn
good fortune which they have met.

in vain, and then concluded he'd go to some
other hotel.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

AS reports of the excellent results of the
season continue to accumulate, our sugges-
tons in regard to a territorial fair are be,
ginning to meet with responses. Everybody
is of the opinion that we should have one
and it now remains the duty of the execu-
tive committee appointed two years ago to
bring matters to a head. We can make a
good display of agricultural products and it
will do the people good to get together and
compare notes.

OuR LIBRARY. in tns year 1872
a movement was started here for the
establishment Of City Library. Thir-
II life members were procured at $50
each; q considerable humber Of yearly
mem berships taken at s. each, and al
together 81 800 were expended in the
outset for books. Since then about
5000 more have beea expended in tho
same way by the association, besides
considerable number Of books have been
donated, including copy of the Amer
lean Encyclopedias. The collection now
embraces 800 volumes, embracing a
great many choice and valuable ks.

can not DO argued that ours are d Eon-

they are extensive purchasers of books
is evident from the success with which
numerous book agents meet, who can
vass the city continually. Still they
DO not, for some reason, appear dis
posed to support public library a'so-
citation as they should. and have al
lowed its membership to dwindie down
To almost the original number Of thirty
charter members. But few OF us can
sford TO purchase all the new books
that come from the press, which We are
de,irous of reading, and which are Of
no use to Us after we have read them.
Still! we can all afford 10 become men,
bers Of public library association at
al expense Of only 81 year. or 81 for

the matter in this light, and contribute
generally to the support of the libra

more a year. for books, and keep sup
piled with oil the new publications that
come into the market.
