Artesian Water.

DEL NoRrE, Colo, Dec. pa fine
flow of water was struck in the Del Norte
artesian we'll this morning at depth of
125 feet, and the entire town is rejoicing.
The water Is as clear as crystal and tastes
very much like the Manitou soda water.
The six-inch bore is full and overfowing
with this water. The contractor will sink
to even a greater depth, as the flow seems
to be increasing all the time. Del Norte
being foothill town it was hardly ex-
pected that water would be obtained short
of 500 feet, consequently our people are
jubilant. The bore for about Is feet was
in gravel and boulders, but the last few
feet has been in blue granite. Other
wells will be put down as soon as ma
chinery can be put on the work. A crude
analysis of the water shows it to be the
very finest quality for domestic use and
possessed of medicinal qualities. This
flow of water effectually settles the arte-
sian question at Del Norte.

The Mexican Loan,

CTY OF MEXICO, Dec. 24.-The all.
nouncement of the success of the Mexi
can loan created considerable excitement
here. The press took up the question
and demanded an explanation from the
government, which has been denying
that negotiations for a loan we're on foot.
Now the Official Gazette says it is true
that the government has negotiated a
loan, but it is intended for the construc-
ton of the Tehuantepec railroad. The
loan was placed in different European
money centers and in Germany was
taken ten times over.
On the Montery & Gulf railroad work
is progressing rapidly.
Officials of the Mexican railroad to
Vera Cruz say that the Inter Oceanic rail
road is not hurting their business.
An English company recently made an
offer for the government telegraph lines,
which was refused. The same company
now asks for the concession of the line to
the Guatemala frontier, with branches
through the country east and west. 1t
also proposes to establish lines throughout
Central America.

HydrOphObia on the Conejos.

ANToNrTo, Colo, Dec. 23.-Quite an ex-
citement was caused last week by the dis
covery of two cases of hydrophobia twelve
miles west of here. A dog belonging to a
Mr.. Mcintyre bit couple of cows, and
was biting other stock and fighting all the
dogs that came in reach. His vicious
habits caused his death, but for several
days no one suspected hydrophobia, and
then not until one Of the cows went mad
She was speedily killed, and as fast as
other stock showed symptoms of madness
they were killed too. In the mean time
a dog hunt was instituted, and now for
miles up the Conejos river not dog is to
be found. Fortunately no human beings
have been bitten so far, and the dread
disease is believed to be stopped

Tidings
WHOOP-LA FOR SILVER.
1t Looks Very Much as II the White
Metal OF the West Is Ahead.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-No one here
appears to have any really positive knowl-
edge of the opinions of the majority of
members of the newly appointed house
coinage committee. The only New York
paper to contain any reference to the sub
ect was the Herald, which said edtorialy ::
"The speaker has settled apparently for
silver and against the national banking
system. The committee on coinage,
weights and measures contains nine west
ern and southern and five eastern men,
with an Iowa man at the head. OF the
eight Republicans on the committee six
are western men, OF the thirteen mem
bers of the banking and currency com
mittee eight are western and southern
men and five eastern men, with the chair
man from Nebraska"
The above opinion, it will be noted, is
based entirely upon the geographical loca-
ton of the homes of the members of the
committee, and not upon the individual
opinions of the congressman.
The examination Of other records shows
that no less than nine of the members OF
the coinage committee are new members OF
the house at this session and consequent
ly have not a public record. Two more
are members of the 50th congress, but
not of the 49th, and consequently have
no printed records upon the silver ques-
ton. Mr.. Bland, the father of the silver
Dill, and Mr.. Conger, together with Dele
gate Joseph of New Mexico, are the other
members of the committee.
1t will be seen, therefore, that with SO
many new men, some of whom have
probably not made up their minds at all
upon the question and all of whom have
no public record, very little can be fore
told at present as totheir probable action.
