So soon as the facts concerning the
destitute family referred to in our yes
terday's issue, became generally known,
immediate steps for their relief were
taken. 4 subscription list vas started
by Smith Van Dreilcn, and as every
body appealed to cheerfully gave

realized. As this amount will be more
than sufficient to carry the lady and
her two little one to St. Louis. Mo.
whore they have relatives, She has de-
tcfluined upon going to them, and will
start within q few days. The small
amounts required Of orr citizens has
Impoverished nobody. but the sum of
these small donati us has relieved the
dire necessities OF n worthy family, and
fgladdeIed Ia heart bowed down by
misery and deep misfortune, a~trording
another illustration of the happy re-
suits Of charity, even though insight

slowed. w

Rock Greek.

The outlook for this highly interest
ng district isei4ths most favorable
character. We learn from AIR. James
Smart, tie Superintendent of the Rock
Greek Silver Mining Company (scor.
pion lode), who visited our Office yes
terdoy, the following facts in relation
to some recent important developments
in the Rock Creek mine. 1t will be re-
membered that this company erected
substantial hosting works with new
machinery, late last Fall, together with
an Office and other necessary buildings.
Upon the completion OF these improve
nleuts, the work Of development was
Immediately commenced by, the oxca-
walton, four by eight, which has now
reached the depth OF no feet. and
substantially timbered; at which point
they encountered n large mount of
water, which will neccssitate the pur-
chase and erection OF a-pump before n
greater depth can be reached. In
view Of this fact, Mr.. Smart commenced
Il cross.cut running eastward, in which
he developed a blind lode of two and a
half feet of splendid ruby ore, which
will work by mill process, about 500
per ton. The main lode which lies
further cast, will be reached in the
course OF tho next eight or ten days.
At this point rich developments are
expected. -..a.y .s,f.
Still further east is another lode of
great value which will also be pcnetra-
ted by this crosscut making in ali three
Iodes within the scopion location: hence
the stock is held FIRMLY AT 81 per share
with an upward ;cnlepcy. The devel-
opnents that are now being made at
the Falcon. Ella, AspIn, Virginia,
VIVA; Not and other locations are be-
yond the sanguine expectations of the
owners thereof. From the signs Of the
times we are OF the opinion1that Rock
Greek will be the winning card next
season.

sad DcSiitution.

The saddest case Of restitution and
suffering that has existed in this sec.
ton through years was brought to our
notice last evening. The case alluded
to is that Of u family MINED Woods,
%Eo for the past two months have been
! occupying II small frarao building on the
fiat near the river back of town. Their
! condition becoming known, yesterday
the house was Yisitci by some humane
persons, who found the father upon
what in a few hours after proved his
death bed. aud the mother with two
small children without the commonest
ncccssnics OF life.
The story Of their sufrerings for some
time past is well calculated to enlist
general sympathy. embracing as it Toes
cold, hunger aud finally death to him
wEo might have been their support
and protection. all. or tho greater
part OF this might have been avoided
by making their condition known, for
in no instance has the poor and des
t!iuto called upon our citizens ior help,
in vain; but kept back by Il strong
nntipathy To make Shown their wants
to strangers, and, Perhaps, from a
dread Of being denIed, they suffered lin
silence until change discovered the
mOurnful facts, when money, clothing,
provisions and bedding were c~hecrfully
given for their relief. The support of
herself and tvu l.ttlo ones will now
devOlye upon the mother and As the
donations just made would soon be
exhausted. the mother is anxious TO
find some scli-suprortiRg employment.
Any capaci,y where her services could
be made available, she is wiling to fill.
aud any assistance in the way of pro-
curing u livelihood Tor herself and little
ones, by our citizens will be thankfully
received. "r

suit Of misfortune nlon', for which

The Eldorado Times figures on
the increase of population in Kan
sas this year as follows:
There are seventy organized coun-
ties in Kansas. Butler county, one
of the largest in the State, has in
creased 1857 in population during
the year; Harvey county. one of the
smallest, has increased 1923; Ne
maha, 894; Pawnee, 3,751. Here
are four average counties. The sV-
erage Increase of these four counties
is 2,240. Taking the seventy conn
ties at this rate, we have 156, 800 as
the increase in the organized coun-
ties for the year. Twenty or TWEEN
ty-five thousand people will settle
in the unorgsnized counties during
the year, which will give an increase
of about one hundred and seventy
five thousand for the year ending
March 4th, 1873. Taking the year
1873 from the beginning to its close,
Kansas will increase at least 100000
in population. Next year we will
do full as well if not better than we
will this.
