Denver News.I
When the train arrived from Choy-
enne Monday, amiddle aged gentleman.
cscortlng 4 beautiful girl not more
than sixteen, got off at the depot aud
inquired what time the cars on the
Kansas Pacific started out. There
was that about the couple which at
tracted immediate attention. The
gentleman's face wore a hard-set, de-
termined look, and the girl was cry
ing. If an expression of despair was
ever photographed upon a young and
beautiful face, it was upon hers. They
were well dressed and evidently re-
spectacle. As they left the platform
for an uptown hotel, a passenger re-
marked, that girl has a hard fate"
The remark caused an inquiry into
the reason. The gentleman replied
that she had run off from the perse-
BUTTONS Of a step-mother, and that her
has caught her and is taking
her home" This was sufficient to
stimulate inquiry, and a News repre-
sentative soon obtained the facts in
the case. If they are not romantic.
they are of a nature to stir the heart
to pity, and awaken sympathy for the
misfortunes of a motherless Girl.

Gold and silver.

By Wells, Fargo Il Co. IS statement, given
to-day, it will be seen that the metallic prod
ucts of our great mining regions on the
Pacific side Of the continent reach the
sum of eighty-one million dollars for
1878, which is q handsome crop. But this
is more than seventeen millions less than
what was produced from the same sources
in 1877, which difference has by some been
hastily attributed to the exhaustion Of some
of the great lodes, and by others has
been more nationally accounted for
on grounds less likely to disturb
the even temper of stockholders.
Readers who will go through the exceed
ingly interesting sketch of the history OF the
ComstoclS lode, which we give with dia-
gram to-day, will see that it is possible to
account for variations in the yield of these
great deposits of mineral wealth without
assuming that the deposit is exhausted.
Few stories are more startling to a prosaic
world than these chronicles of the product
of enormous wealth; and few differences
seem more clearly 10 follow from the rep
etition of these stories than the pleasant
one that we have as yet in reality only
tapped the great deposits of orc that are in
the continent.

JUDGE CHARLES T. SHERMAN.


Judge Charles T. Sherman retired in his usual
health at his residence Prospect street. Cleveland
Ohio on Tuesday night last. but at about O'Clock
yesterday morning he awoke and complained OF
severe cough and trouble in the chest He obtained
soothing medicines but failed to relief
and died in few hours afterward with.
out struggle. Deceased was born at Lancaster
Ohio. in 1910. He graduated at Ohio University in
1892 and was admitted to the Bar in 1885 He began
the practice of law in Mansfield, Richland county,
Ohio where he resided until 1867. when he was an.
pointed District Judge of the United States for
Northern Ohio. He held this position until
about four years ago. Judge Sherman gained
some prominence as railroad manager, being
director oil the Petersburg. Fort Wayne and
Chicago and Mansfield and SandusKy railroads. and
for four years he was government director of the
Union Pacific Railway. He filled the office OF provost
marshal of twenty counties OF Northern Ohio
during the war and organized as o colonel
four colored regiments. He was always 2
great reader and fond of social life. and
of late years i'll health had compelled him to
confine himself to his library and family circle:
His surviving brothers General William T. and
Secretary John Sherman, Sampson Sherman, the
banker, and Hoyt Sherman, merchant, Of Des-
moines Iowa. Judge Sherman leaves a wife;

Railroad Building I'm 1873.

According to q return just published by
the Railroad Gazette the number of miles of
railroads constructed in the past year ex-
ceeded, but only slightly, the construction
of 1877. In 1872 7,34O miles of railroad
were built in the United States; in 1873
the mileage fell to 1883; in 1874 2,O25 miles
were built, and it was not until 1875, two
years after the great crash, that construc-
ton of this kind touched bottom with ,561
miles. In 1876 there was an increase to
2,4GO miles; in 1877 it fell again to 22S1,
and in 1873 it rose to 1920, the largest
mileage since 1873.
During the year 1878 Minnesota built 1888
miles; Iowa, 255; Colorado, 1913. Of which
sc were of three-foot gauge; Pennsylvania,
1872; New York. 142; Texas, 11S; and Mt the
other extreme, New Jersey, but 3 miles;
Massachusetts, 6, and Arkansas, z.
That the construction of railroads has in
creased so very slowly, during year when
money was overabundant and both labor
and material approximately cheap, shows
how serious was the blow which the period
of imitation and of railroad building on q
great scale, antecedent to 1873, inflicted on
this business. It is notorious that new
roads can now be built and equipped at
less than half the cost of the cheapest exist
ing roads in the country; but the credit. of
this kind of enterprise has been SO fatally
shaken that even where new roads could be
profitably run capitalists do not venture
their money
