Workingmen Enthusiastic.

The workingmen of Denver turned
out en- masse the other evening to hear
the principles of the party advocated
by j. N. Van Dyke, Capt. Preston and
Judge Jackson Orr Mr.. Van Dyke
spoke in favor of free silver Capt
Preston said he was formerly repub-
lican, but said that for the last fifteen
years the republican party had been
controlled by the most corrupt set of
leaders with which any political party
was ever cursed. Judge Orr dwelt
chiefly on the beneficial result to be
obtained from the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and showed that the
peoples partyis the only political party
which has the wage-earners' interests
at heart, and that it is the only party
the workingman can support if he con-
suits his own interests.

GARDEN AND DESERT,
The Karroo Country, In South Africa, Sub

ject to Strange Annual Changes.
In the spring, in the year when rain
has fallen for two months, the Karroo
region in the northern part of Cape
Colony is flower garden. AS far as
the eye can reach stretch blotches Of
white and yellow and purple fig flowers.
Every foot of Karroo sand is broken up
by small Towering lilies and wax flow
ers. In space few feet square you
may sometimes gather fifty kinds In
the crevices of the rocks little hard
leaved Towering air plants are growing.
At the end Of two months the bloom is
over, the bulbs have died back into the
ground by millions, the fig blossoms
are withered, the Karroo assumes the
red and brown tints which it wears all
the rest of the year. Sometimes there
is no spring. At intervals of few years
great droughts occur, when no rain
ialls.
For ten or thirteen months the sky is
cloudless. The Karroo bushes dror
their leaves and are dry, withered
stalks; the fountains fail, and the DANG
are Hoored with dry, baked mud, which
splits up into little squares; the sheep
and goats die by thousands, and the
Karroo is desert 1t is to provide for
these long rainless periods that all the
plant life in the Karroo is modified
Nothing that cannot retain life habitu.
ally for six months, and at need for
twice that time, without rain can exist
here. The Karoo bush itself provides
against drought by roots of enormous
length, stretching underground to .
depth of many feet. At the end Of q
ten months drought, when the earth is
baked brickdust for two feet from the
surface, if you break the dried stock Of
q Karroo bush three inches high you
will find running down the center a
tiny thread of pale, green-tinted tissue

TEMESCAL TIN MINES.
Features About the Company's Recent
Annual Meeting.

The San Francisco Newsletter says !:
IA general meeting of the San Jacinto
Tin company has just been held IN Lon
don. Sir John Stokes, who presided, in
moving the adoption of the report and
accounts, stated that great progress had
been ade at the mines. A water dam
had been constructed, four batteries
we're on the ground and the necessary
coucentrators were in working order. At
the present time, however, only one
battery had been erected, and this was
sufficient to crush As tons of ore per day,
and this would give them two tons of
metal per day, which could be easily
sold at $500 per ton, When the mines
had been still further developed the
other batteries would be erected, which
would mean a turnout of an additional
two tons of tin per day for every battery
worked.
"Mr. Purcell, an engineer who had re-
Gently been appointed superintendent at
the mines, gave description OF the de-
velopment of the property, and stated
that the average amount of tin produced
from the ore was per cent. which was
about double that produced from the
richest mines in Cornwall. He char
acterized the San Jacinto as the richest
tin mine in the world. The report and
accounts were, after a considerable
amount of adverse criticism and dis
cussion, adopted"
The Mr.. Purcell mentioned is the
eminent civil engineer, Mr.. Gervaise
Purcell of this city.

the company have so far developed that
it is no longer necessary to keep their
plans we'll hidden. In addition to clos

facilities at Santa Monica and then
build up the coast around Point Magu
and connect at Ventura with the road
coming from the north. This will give
them through line along the coast

truth of Loosmore's story and of his In

wrote to San Luis Obispo, and found cit
izens there who were convinced of the
poor fellows innocence, and anxious to
aid him. They got up a petition to the
governor for his pardon, which is the
largest ever sent from San Luis Obispo,
for the wife and her sons, when they
lett Allen, told the truth about the
Loosmore case, and the people OF that
county believe her.
'These, with all the other papers, are
now in the governments hands. We
hope for a pardon at once. az unless
Loosmore is able to appear in Visalia on
February 10Th next the persons who
jumped his claims and are contesting
his rights may gain an advantage, al
though we don't fear that much, for in
the last day or two they have been
writing to Loosmore and offering COM
promise.

lain, "the case is one of the most fla
grant outrages 1 ever heard of, but
Loosmore's time is coming and he will
return cleared OF the stain by perjury
put upon him and with friends to aid
him to maintain his rights"
The officers of the prison are inter-
ested in having Loosmore pardoned. as
they are convinced that he was rail-
roaded into prison. He has only four
months more to serve in any event, but
they think his immediate release is no
more than his just due. Loosmore him
self says little, but when he returns
home some one will probably be speed
lily made aware of the fact. He feels
keenly the loss of his sweetheart. and
holds Allen answerable for chat, as well
as his other misfortunes.
