MED a friend to hear lecture de-
livered by Bishop II. NJ. Turner,
(col., of the African Methodist
church. The subject was" Gods
Purpose in the Negro Race.n He
is native of South Carolina, was
corn a slave. His appearance is
striking, indicating man Of intel
igence and force. His voice was
full, flexible aud sonorious, and he
handled it with the magic Charm Of
a natural orator. His lecture was
delivered to Il large audience OF
negroes and few whites. He took
fair view OF slavery, as a mere
incidental in Gods providence, to-
wards the development Of the in.
habitants of Africa. He dwclt up
on the fact that Africa never could
elevate itself. Never could know
God. Slavery was an old institu.
iion indulged in by Ham, us repre-.
seu:ed in the Egyptians, towards
the Israelites. Hard headed, and
tieshly minded rs were the negro
race, il took slavery to make them
feel the need OF Gods helping hand.
In the United States the negro has
found God, aud now preparation
must be made to prepare ministers
and teachers to enter their father
land and tell of Jesus aud His love.
The lecture abounded in passages
Of thrilling eloquence. He is
firm advocate for prohibition Of all
forms Of strong drink. On the
whole IL is wonderful that this man
is SO proficient, in so short tune.
Speaking upon the subject OF the
Providence of God in the negro
race, every inquiring, thinking

Never before in the history of this
town has business been so good. All
our principal business firms complain

there will be a scarcity Of some neces-

parties lately looking around fr1ln

breadstuffs. Those who live in luxury
have been compelled to grade down

en-, on the merest, Aimsiest technicali-
ty. A miner of 20 years experience
told US the other Gay that there was
the least jumping and illegal reloca-
ton in this camp Of any camp that he
was ever in, yet We must bear the
name that is given us in Denver and
other portions of the state, and We
would say to those parties elsewhere
who are SO oficlous in talking about
our camp that if they feel inclined to
possess themselves of any of our prop
erty in that way, all they will have to
do is to make the attempt.
This is one of the most remarkable
camps in America for its richness and
the enormous big leads, and to-day
moneyed men are coming in and
seeking investments, therefore we say
1t behooves you to work your proper
ty, and we dare say that every ten
feet of depth gained enhances the
value Of your property at least a thou
sand dollars, for in every instance so
far property has grown better the
deeper it has been developed. The
one great drawback is cheap market
for ores, which we dare say will soon
be remedied. When the eight or ten
mines get their machinery in that is
ordered and commence the work of
development and take out ore in guam
titles then we may look for big
change IN our camp.
Another thing we wish to speak Of
is the talk about the Indians. Persons
east think that because we live on or
near the reservation that we must be
surrounded by Indians and that we
are in danger Of losing our scalps any
day. We will state for those who
come here with that expectation that
there has not been an Indian here for
two years, and the people here are in
no more danger Of seeing one here
than any other civilized country. In
dians are not in the habit of visiting
communities that are so far advanced
in civilization as this.

Our hotels are doing good business
these days, numerous visiting capital
lists being on hand to secure interests
in the big fssure vein camp of Colo
RADIO, with its rich ore bodies. As
the railroads near US their numbers
will increase. There is chance fol-
them to take hold and Join us yet.
Some who come in to invest complain
that the prices at which property is
held in this camp are too high, but
We consider that in view of our facili-
ties and the quality as well as the
quantity Of our ores. that prices are
low for good mines or Aattering pros
poets. 1t should be borne in mind
that when a fissure vein has been
worked ten years and several millions
taken out of 1t, it is what is left gives
It its value more than that taken out,
for when ten million years have passed
away eternity has just begun to dis
close the assures.
