MADE RICH IN A YEAR.

Lieutenant Governor Tabor, of Col
orado, is one of the newly arisen million.
aires. If reward were offered for a
man worth $4,000, 600, nobody would
pick him out On Broadway. He was a
poor Vermont boy, who drifted West,
and when the diggings were found about
twenty years ago around Orc City, he
moved there and kept little store. He
had no early advantages, and seemed
doomed to remain for life on the sum-
mits of the Rocky Mountains with about
81 900 of stock under his roof. Two
cobblers came along year ago, a little
poorer than himself, and wanted food.
He gave them what is called "grub
stake" that is, barrel of flour and a
bag of bacon, saying: "You might as
well work if am to feed you! Go dig
somewhere for ore." These two men
found the Little Pittsburg Mine within
a few weeks, by which one of them re
ceived $262, 900. the other 1926, 600, and
Tabor has already had more than 81 ,0OO,-
600 out of the property, besides being in
the consolidation. He is a modest, un-
affected man, who has not changed his
habits in the least. The discovery, how
ever, made bim Lieutenant Governor of
the State.

Postmaster General Key on the
Recent Election.

WASHINGTON, August 11.-Post-
master General Key says that there
ia no doubt that the plan of the COM
promise, to pay fifty cents on the
dollar, 10 defeated. When asked
what he thought the real significance
of the election was, he stated that it
clearly indicated that majority of
the people of the State were in fa.
vor of absolute repudiation. Judge
Key says that the position of Gov
ernor Marks on this question 10 not
very clearly defined, but it is gener-
ally understood that he is a slow
tax" man, which means repudiatien.
As there was $4,000 interest due
to January last and the annual in.
terest due in January last and that
the annual interest amounts to ST.
200. 900, and that continuance OF
the present rate Of taxation could
be constructed to mean nothing else
than reputation.
