but l found out that the company hired
clerk to record the deeds and them
selves received the fee. There are about
ten lots Of the size Of the one they gave
me to an acre, so they receive S12.50 per
acre for the ground from the fees, and
you could buy all the land about that

DENVER, Col, Aug. IA most re-
markable story reached here to-day from
Aspen, COL, regarding an unexpected
find in one Of the principal mines on
Aspen Mountain. Last Thursday night
the night shift in the Minnie mine, Mr..
Donnelly, G. w. Mackey, Chas. Z. Tay-
lor and c. w. Gilnllian, put in two
thirty-inch holes in the breast OF the
observation-disclosures level and fred the
blast just before leaving for the sur.
face. On returning to the mine 1t was
found that the two shots had broken into
cave, the extent Of which they pro
ceeded to explore. Going in q few feet
they found the walls covered with crys-
tallized lime and lead that glittered
like diamonds. Here and there little
stalactites hung from the ceiling. The
lime formation resembled lace and
frieze-work Of wonderous beauty. The
cave had descent Of about twenty de.
grees, and they found rooms and cham.
bers grand beyond description. They
had entered about two hundred feet
when they found q flint axe; q little
further was pool Of fresh water, and
strong current Of fresh air ws5 felt.
Further on another chamber was dis
covered that was covered with brown.
ish muck thatwas very sticky. GilHllian,
who was in the lead, suddenly stopped
and cried Goodness, there
sits boyr' Sure enough, there sat
human form. The head was resting on
the knees, the arms drawn around the
legs, Indian fashion. A stone bowl and
axe were found beside the figure.
The body was we'll preserved, butin try.
ing to lift it one arm broke of. Other
bodies in different attitudes were found
in the chamber, and when disturbed
would crumble. One stone man was
brought out with the loss of arms and
feet. and turned over to physicians at
Glenwood Springs. The discovery has
caused great excitement in Aspen, as
the bodies do not seem to be those Of In.
dams.

Experience in Careful. Breeding.

1t having been estimated that

Wilkes colt, bred in Kentucky,
and brought him to our county.
He afterwards sold him stallion
for $1,000 and subsequent pur-
chaser for 81, 900. His numerous
progeny are the admiration of
lovers of fine horses. A few in
stances of the profits to those who
bred to this horse which will
demonstrate the wisdom of raising
instead of buying horses abroad.
Mr.. Hunt, from an old bay mare
that peddles milk around town,

five colts. The first he sold for

third for $50, the fourth he swap

Cherokee Strip.

Gherokees are somewhat exer-

Joel B. Mays with regard to the

toward purchase is the calling to-

Chief Mays, however, refuses to
convene the legislature for such a

Cellulose is a fbrous substance,
produced in France, by a secret
mechanical process, from cocoa
nut husk. When compressed, its
specific gravity is far less than
that of cork. It is the ightest
solid known, and therefore invalu-
able for life-belts and life-mattres-
ses, while in large quantities its
buoyancy will make a ship non
sinkable. 1t is used to fill CON-
partments in ships side, and ser
yes to prevent water entering the
ship through a hole made by a
projectile or rock, because the in
slant the water enters the cellulose
is expanded by it to an impenetra-
bic tightness. It does not decay
or emit any odor, and has been
packed in ships compartments
without undergoing any change.
If a mass of cellulose be penetra-
ted by proiectile, it will not be
ignited by the friction.
