COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Feb. .2-Flor-
issant, a small town thirty five miles west
of here on the Colorado Midland railroi I'd,
is the scene of much excitement, and 10
onlookers it is certainly most amusing
spectacle. Prospectors with picks, stakes,
shovels and pans are running wildly about,
and the hill is already staked out, and hun
dreds of dollars have been paid for a
hole in the ground. Samples of the dust
have been sent into town and most care
fully scrutiniZed by experts.
Ten Thousand to the Ton.
Those competent to judge say the dirt
taken from the blastings is great and
the sand will yield $4,000 to the ton.
Miners have expressed their opinions en-
enthusiastically and say it is 10y far the
richest pan they have ever seen. The dust
brought in-only double handful-con-
tains as much copper and gold "a is gener-
ally seen il twenty pounds of sand.
