All reports from Colorado concur in
the statement that there is a drowsi-
ness about that country In nowise in
ferior to the sleepiness existing here.
The editor of the RANGE while in
Denver last month noticed that not
w~itbstanding the exposition was In ac-
tive progress and that eight hundred
locomotive hremen were assembled in
conclaVe that the place was dull and
full of complaints of slow times. The
hotel men and those engaged In bu j..
ness generally talked that the city had
not been so dull since the years anteda-
ting the Leadville excitement. And
Denver is a reliable index of the entire
state. The fault however is not in
Denver and it is not in Colorado any
more than it is in New Mexico but it is
the reaction which is taking place after
IN undue excitement and wasteful pro-
LAGRANGE in the business of mining.
The Leadville boom made fortunes for
many and ruined thousands. While 1t
lasted everybody OF a speculative spirit
dashed recklessly into the mining
business and we are simply raking the
seed gown by the whirlwind. People
noted in times past that there could
be money lost In mines and they want
none Of 1t. Now they want stock
ranches and other investments where
there is no chance for loss as they
think. In, a few years they will find
that there are two sides to every cloud
and that the silver lining does not ex.
tend clear around and they will eschew
that which they now covet and will
return to their old loves. Times are dull
and prospecting uninviting at present
but let us all hold on and the moving
ball will bring US to the top sometime.
We are too late now for the mining
boom Ut 1875 0, but. we can be here for
the one to follow Or. many II fortune
has been made IN mines without the
lid Of looms and who knows but there

The trial Of Moore and Casey for the
murder of GTossteJ and Elsinger in the
American Valley last May, is now in
progress at albuquerque and it prom
ises to 90 hard with the accused. The
testimony Of McAlister, II of the
parties IN the gang which is supposed
to have done the killing, was particu-
larry damaging and after it was given
the accused who heretofore were out
on bail were locked up. AS usual, in
such cases, the leader of the crowd W.

10 remain out. He is the smartest and
therefore the worst one Of the lot. Clti.

Prominent high class houses are intro

will probably soon become popular and
general They are making a great many
| walking coats shorter and less Gu: away
than formerly, The regular lengths are
still in vogue, but the shorter coats with
fuller fronts is rapidly gaining in popular
ity. The very short WASTED and long
skirted coat, with the skirts cut away
almost to point, has had so long a run
that the newer form is a welcome innova
ton. The lengths for this coat for man
of average height, say five feet nine inches,
are eighteen and one half and thirty three
The sleeves are made shapely, but are
gradually increasing in size, the proper
tions most in favor being sixteen at elbow
and twelve at hand. They are finished
with imitation cuffs closing with the holes
and buttons. Flaps are frequently put
on the waist seam, and seem to be grow
ing in favor. Diagonals and other fine
goods, which during the past season.
were almost invariably finished with
binding, are now generally stitched-one
row as close to the edge as possible, and
the other three eighths of an inch back
The disposition is to close double
breasted frocks, five holes, with narrow
lapel, but where the customer is large or
tall they are closed with six. The lengths
for an average height range from eighteen
and half to nineteen waist, and from
thirtyeight to thirtynine full length
Narrow fiat braiding is quite popular,
but when the goods will admit of it the
edges are almost always double stitched,
as for walking coats.
Sacques are cut close and long They
are made to fit the form as frock, and
range from thirty to thirtyone inches in
length. The edges are stitched, and the
sleeves are fnishad with a small vent,
with or without buttons. Coarse, rough
goods are very popular, with a decided
tendency TO favor indistinct plaids
OVercoats are about the same as last
season. They are made rather longer,
no owever, the average length being about
forty two inches. The edges are generally
piped with velvet OF cloth, and are some
times finished with tubular cord The
sleeves are finished with cuffs. though
generally made to initiate them. and have
three holes and buttons.
Pantaloons and vests are being made
