TRINIDAD, Col, July y23.-Information
reached here this evening that about
noon to-day 100 settlers rode to the ranch
of George Blosser, near Ration, and re-

are part of the public domain, has force

ASHLAND, Wis, July 23.-The Won
derful discoveries of gold at 1shpeming
few days since have had tendency to
work up sort of an excitement along
the Gogebic range where prospect9rs
for gold and silver are at work, and the
all-absorbing talk now is gold and not
iron. Business men and miners fondly
anticipate as big rush and as much ex-
element along the south shore of Lake
Superior as there was year ago. 1t is
no longer matter of speculation in re-
gard to the gold and silver finds on the
Gogebic. During the past month
number of experienced mining experts
have examined the finds, and the reports
they give are most flattering. The rock
milling, with nothing refractory in it.
However, it is termed lOw-grade ore.
but the large veins in which it is found
prove that the quantity will more than
make up for the quality. Several OF the
leads have been traced over 5000 feet,
giving the property holders an abund-
ance of territory to work on. Average
samples of ore from leads which have
been traced by these same examining
experts. show that the rock contains
from S12.5O to $1,000 in gold and silver to
the ton. These results have been OBJ
tanned by the amalgamation process. 1t
is estimated that this rock can be mined
and milled for S3 per ton. which would
leave handsome profit to the owners.
Capitalists are beginning to interest
themselves in these properties, and it is
said that reduction works will be
erected at once on the Washburn prop
erty, which is the best developed of any
at present. This company has a vast
amount of ore in sight. There is no
doubt expressed among mining men
that it will pay handsomely from the
start. If S4 ore can be mined at a profit
in the Black Hills, S25 ore where there
can be handled at an immense profit.

who came in from the west yesterday
makes a good report as regards crops.
There are some chinch bugs, but the
ground is so moist and cool that they do

the heavy growth of grain. The wheat
is attacked with the red rust, but that is
not serious matter. ALI things con-

could be desired in Southern Minnesota

age has been done by chinch bugs, but
it is only in scattered fields, and the
general crop promises large. The grain
harvest follows the hay crop so closely
that there is not a minute for rest.
Everything promises well, including
corn, about which no anxiety is felt.
The fact that homegrown sweet corn is
in the market will indicate how rapid
the growth has been for the past month.

use of his name in connection with the

At the same time the news is conveyed

all this remarkable change in
this form: MY family have

not confirm this statement of Nelson
going into their employ, but it comes to
the GLOBE from sources that leave but
little doubt of its correctness.
