coLoRAoo.s BIG MINES.
A List Of Those Producing Over 500,
600 a Year.

From the Mining Industry.
Tho annual report issued from the q. 8.
Mint department giving the production OF
gold and silver of the United States for
the year 1889, Is at hand. The reports do
not state how many mines made confident
tial returns, SO that 1t is impossible to tell
whether the number Of producers il in
creasing or decreasing. But Of the Colora-
do producers whose names are given there
were $40 in 1888, and Az in 1889. This
would show decrease in number, which
every well posted man knows is not the
case in Colorado. However, the report
does not include tho counties Of San Suan,
Miguel and Ouray, which in 1888 contained
s5 that are published. Supposing the num-
Der remained the same in 1889, the num-
Der Of producers in the latter year would
have been shown to be SIS, or only eight
less than tho former year. There were
probably 100 in the latter year that pro-
duced some value which made no reports.
The largest single producing mines re-
ported in each State were: Arizona, the
Congress, S340, 900; California, the Idaho
Quartz, s479, ,eo9; Colorado, the Aspen Com
promise, &, ,7s2 ,92l; South Dakota, the
Homcstake, ts9s, 760; Nevada, the Consoli-
dated California and Virginia, e., 725, ,9l7 ;
Oregon, the Hoggum, $50, 900.
In Colorado, in 1889, there were fifty
properties which produced gold only; l67
produced silver without gold, and 246 pro
duced both gold and silver; l65 produced
lead in mcrchantable quantities, and 81
produced copper in association with gold
and silver, while only one was worked for
copper alone, and not one for lead alone.
Tho Colorado mines which produced
over 500, 900 either year, and their prod
uct for two years, were As follows:

The following story Of a monkeys
heroisin is told by an Indian paper: "a
large ourang outaug was very much at
tached to his master and to the baby boy,
who was the pet of the whole family.
One day n fire suddenly broke out in the
house, and everybody was running here
and there to put it out, while the little
boy in his nursery was almost forgotten,
and when they thought of him the stair
case was all in flames. What could be-
done? As they were looking up and
wondering, a large. hairy hand and arm
opened the window, and presently the
monkey appeared with the baby in his
arms, and carefully climbed down over
the porch, and brought the child safely
to his nurse. Nobody else could have
done it, for a man cannot climb like a
monkey, and is not nearly so strong.
You may imagine how the faithful crea-
ture was praised and petted after that.
This is a true story, and the child who
was saved was the young Marquis Of Kill
dare"

An American actor who is travelling
through England writes: Let me assure
you that am as patriotic as when | sail
ed out Of New York, but really | must
take of my hat to the superb railroad
system of carrying theatrical troupes in
England. We have been on n tour two
or three months and we have always had
two elegant carriages or cars entirely to
ourselves. These are not compartments
like the ordinary English carriage,
but saloon carriages, with another for
our star and her maid. The roads make
up these special trains on Sunday for
theatrical people only. For instance, our
troupe desires to go from Birmingham
to Manchester; another troupe is booked
from Birmingham to Derby, and still
another from Derby to Liverpool. The
railroad makes up its special, takes the
two companies from Birmingham, drops
one at Derby, takes up the other there,
and carries the last to Liverpool. 1t is
economical and it is comfortable. This
is going On all over the Kingdom on
Sunday, and the Midland carries an i'm
mense number of travelling players."-

Some statistics recently published by
the city Of Berlin show hat London
streets are, on the whole, the most
crowded Of any city in Europe. In 1878
it was a~scertained that 1904 people

MORE MURDERS SUSPECTED.
Frank Krulish COolIy Confesses that He
Butchered Winnie Croupa.

Frank KruIish Coo11y Confesses that He
Butchered Winnie Croupa.
SAYvtLE, N. Y, Dec. 90. The funeral
of Winnie Croupa, the young man who
was killed in the woods back of Bohemia
vile by Frank Krulish, took place yes
terday from the home of his parents,
near the scene Of the murder.
A large number tramped through the
snow from the surrounding villages to
get glimpse of the murdered man. The
remains were in a stained pine coffin,
which rested on two stools in small
room, which was crowded to suffocation
by excited Bohemians who chartered in
loud tones.
graveyard known as Union Cemetery, not
more than a stones throw from the
street where young Croupa was killed.
The murder was committed while Kru-
lish was under the influence of liquor,
and it was he who informed the neigh
bors Of the crime and led them, with the
dead mans father, through the snow to
the place where the mutilated corpse lay.
When arraigned before Justice O'Brien
Krulish confessed the crime and was
committed for the action of the grand
Jury. Coroner Bennett of Patchogue i'm
panelled jury and the inquest will be
held this afternoon.
In Riverhead it is said that Krulish
while stopping at that place some weeks
ago amused himself by torturing animals
and frightening women.
1t is now strongly suspected that Kru-
lish killed the 17-year-old son and name
sake of Constable Josef Shasek, who
arrested him.
1t is also recalled that Krulish lived in
Breslau four years ago when an aged
couple named Sheidler were brutally
murdered in their home and their bodies
mutilated much in the same manner as
young Croupa's was. The mystery of
this double tragedy was never cleared up.
