ROBBERY ON THE COLORADO.

Under date of January 18th, Daniel
Bonelli at Rioville, on the Colorado river,
writes H. w. Turner here as follows:
Last Monday night, (the l2th), rob-
berry was committed here by three trav.
ellers who came after dark enquiring for
hay for their animals. They stayed in
the yard and during the night broke the
lock off the skiff by filing and knocking
and went off with it down the river,
leaving note at the camp saying that
they wanted to get away, and for me to
keep the two horses and if they got away
I would hear of them later. The two
sore.backed cayuse ponies are of course
no equivalent for my boat aside from the
great inconvenience in doing without it
till I can get another one here. The one
stolen cost me $l36 delivered here. My
son Frank went down to Ell Dorado Can
yon to try to head them of, but did not
succeed, as he got no help to watch and
the thieves probably passed there quiet
ly in the night. l sent to the Sheriff at
Needles, but no doubt they would reach
and pass there before my letter could
reach.
supposed that they had done some
misdeed and expected pursuit. l saw
only one boy WHO came to enquire for
hay; my men saw another boy and an
old man, the man claiming toothache,
having his face muffled up, may have

have any idea who the persons may be
and what they have done I would like to
hear.

NEW FURNACES.


The Phoebe Con. Mining and Reduc.
ton Company, satisfied with the success
of the one stack which for year past
they have maintained at the Reduction
Works at the head of Meadow Valley
st. here, have concluded to change the
location Of the smelling part of their
plant, and will at once begin the work OF
erecting two stacks on their new site
north Of town.
When the building Of the Reduction
Works here was begun the operation OF
smelter was not considered, the com.
pany having in mind the ores OF the prin-
cipal mines of this district which they pro-
posed to reduce by roasting, amalgamat-
ing and teaching. Outside properties Of
the company however, subsequently ac-
quired, showed smeltingto be the method
of treatment which could most pro6tably
be employed to the ores in general and
from the first it was seen that the pres
emit furnace site could not be made avail.
able for operations of any great extent,
for want of room. Through all the com.
panies operations development work on
the various mines has received liberal
attention and the mines are now in such
shape that it will be matter Of no diff.
Guilty to keep two stacks steadily at work.
The present so ton stack will be moved
to the new site and another Of equal size
placed along side it. Bids for grading
are now going in and contracts will be
let in few days.
THE NEW SITE
is located about IL miles north of town.
where the company last year made an
extensive entry Of land. At the site the
ground falls away to the north and east
making fine dumping ground while to
the southwest it broadens out with a
gentle raise toward town and affords
oceans of yard room for the accummula-
tson of ore and supplies. The tramway
from the mines here along the hillside
west Of town will be extended to the new
works, which from the lay OF the ground
will bs a comparatively easy matter and
this will greatly facilitate the moving
Of the present stack to the new site.
The new furnaces will be but little
more than mile distant from the pres
emit graded terminus of the U. P. extern
sion in the fat below, and the building
of q switch to them will follow as ,
matter Of course when the rails o
that road are placed.
All building operations here are ham
pered for want of materials, but this new
work is to be pushed as rapidly as posi-
BILE and it is hoped they will be read.
for work by May next. The building
and operation Of these works means
good future for US and the company
present action is very gratifying to tn
community generally.

he Was ASHAMED
TO Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got 1t for Him.

A few months ago one of the unfortunate
inmates in the San Francisco Almshouse
was inspired by the sensational statements
in the newspapers with the belief that joys
Vegetable sarsaparilla would help him. But
without money, how to get 1t was the ques-
ton. Finally he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and it was
not unheeded, the coveted preparation be-
ing sent by the next parcel delivery. Its
effect is best told in subsequent letter, from
which we quote the following:

and my circumstances and condition. AL
though improving, ask OF your generosity

Tho Commissioner Gcncrai Here TO Organ.
irc West Virginia In Its Interest.
The lSrELLlGExCrn has already had
something OF the particulars Of tho pro-
iect to unvcil ut Chicago in 1893, in
connection with the Worlds Column
bian Exposition, n monument in com.
momoration Of the emancipation OF the
American slaves. Tho movement has
already made good progress, and gives
every promise OF being All entire, ste
cess. Tho plan has been approved and
the work Of raising the funds needed Is
making encouraging Roadway.
DR.. George Wellington Bryant, u Ken.
tuckian by birth, u physician Of high
standing and minister OF the gospel
az well, arrived in the city oil Saturday
on mission connected with tho monu-
mcnt project. lie Is the commissioner
Of the monument, and is now engaged
in travelling over the country and organ
izing the several states. lie has just
finished this work in Ohio, and expects
to DO in this stnte for some time. lie
thinks West Virginia will do her full
share for this noble monument. lle
will probably be hero oil Thanksgiving
to meet Hon. John VI. Iangston, and
may preach tho sermon at the a. NJ. L.
church OH that day. lie occupied Rev.
Mr.. Jones's pulpit Inst evening and
preached an eloquent sermon. lie also
talked in 4 ringing way to Holiday
Post Ct. a. r., Saturday night at its
regular meeting. lie is IN old soldier
and prominent member OF that order.
Mr.. Bryant has had quite history.
Hc does not lool: to be over thirty-live
years old, but he was old enough to Ell.
list in Mr.. Langston's regiment at
Xcnia. Ohio, and 10 serve with distinc.
ton through tho war, being wounded
several times. lie Is graduate OF the
heidelberg University and OF I.incoln's
Inn, London, and is probably rs efficient
a man for his position us could have
been found.
OF the $4,000 1t is desired TO raise by
popular subscription, $4,000 has al
ready bcou raised. The monument is
TO cost about $4,000, and it is expect
cd the remainder, after the subscrip-
tons have been raised, will come from
appropriations from states, the con-
gress and the city OF Chicago. Tho de-
sign chosen is an imposing and appro-
PIRATE one. 1t is shaft los feet high,
surlnountcd bya statute of the ideal
soldier, the man chosen for the figure
being Andre OalIiaux, who was killed ut
Hudson. The statue is by Taft. The
pedestal is Of noble proportions, and on
it will be figures OF William Lloyd Gar
rison, John Brown, Robert b. Elliott,
Charles Sumner, Wendell Philips,
Owen Lovejoy and Abraham Lincoln,
with an eighth person not yet chosen.
The unwilling OF such monument ut
the celebration OF tho discovery OF
America would give to the occasion
especial significance in addition to all
the other features OF the Worlds Fair,
and the movement ought to and no
doubt will receive the cordial support
OF all patriotic citizens, white or black.

Speaking OF the proposed new bridge
from the Island to Kirkwood. Il project
with which readers OF the INTELLlGEScER
are familiar, Captain John NJ. Sweeney,
OF the Wheeling bridge company, says:
ave intend 10 20 ahead with the
work US last US men and money can

ncer is now making the necessary
plans. AS soon Us they eau be COM

do not anticipate shat we will have any
trouble whatever, and expect TO have
the bridge ready for travel in very few
months comparatively"
"Will you continue sunningmulc cars
over the suspension BRIDGE" Captain
Sweeney was asked.
ave will tomorrow discontinue all
our mule cars over the suspension
bridge with the exception OF one. We
will continue that line, but OF course
the greatest amount OF travel will here
after DO by the other bridge. The cleo
trio cars arc now running around the
Fourteenth street loop, and We are in
good shape to handle big business by
that route.

Greets tho First Appearance OF DIR. j.
Charles Harrison Mt the Opera House.
Last night tho Opera House was
packed TO its utmost capacity to greet
DR.. Harrison's first appearance this sca-
son.
DR.. Harrison well sustained the cx-
ccllent impression lie made here last
year, and the lecture last night was q
most pronounced success III every way.
The doctor is one OF the most enter
tanning and forciblt lecturers in the
country. But few men can equal him,
and he is the peer OF any man now be-
fore the public. As Il general lecturer
upon medical subjects he has no equal
upon the American platform. Through
out the entire discourse, which lasted
for two hours, he held the closest at
tcntion OF his large audience, which
ut times demonstrated their apprccia-
ton OF the eloquent speaker and OF the
beautiful views by outbursts Of hearty
applause.
Although some OF the medical SUBJ
)ccts discussed were oil inc most dell
cate character the doctors language
was chaste and eloquent. The candor
oil speech was there, but tho truths pre-
sented were clothed III the choicest OF
English. Although technical terms
were spriuklcd throughout the dis
course, they were such as were gener-
ally ineligible to every auditor and
absolutely necessary in lecture OF this
kind.
Taken all in all it was m intellectual
feast and was highly appreciated. The
eye was treated to.a succession OF dis
solving views which were shown upon 4
mammoth canvas stretched across the
en- tire stage, and which were vivid in
their intensity, correct in detail and
potent in their effect. The views were
not bristling with exhibitions OF anato-
mical horrors, but were only such rs
the demands OF the lecture required.
Scenes in Europe and other countries
OF great beauty were shown.
Wednesday night DR.. Harrison will
deliver his last lecture to men. This is
one OF great Importance and should be
largely attended. Twenty-Five cents
will DC charged.
