AN ARMY OF G0LD-HUNTERS.
Hundreds of Men Quit Other Work and Start
for the Utah Placer -Diggings.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 23.-The greatest gold
fever that has stricken Colorado since the
Ruby and California gulch diggings drew
thousands of miners into those camps has
now complete possession of the West.
Here. ss we'll IS in every camp in Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona. there Is nothing
talked of except the new placer fields of
the San Juan river in southern Utah. At
Durango, Rico ana Dolores. this State,
many outfits have already started for the
new fields, and by Saturday it is estimated
that three hundred miners will have left
these three points for the Eldorado. Min
ing men in almost every town are Clubbing
together and offering big inducements 10
professional Drospectors to visit the mines.
At Albuquerque. n. NJ. and at other points
on the Atlantic ~ Pacific the excitement is
intense. and railway officials and clerks
have thrown mp their positions and headed
the great army of gold hunters. The fact
that of the many who have already gone into
this country none has returned is strong
evidence that the sand Is rich enough to
keep them there.
A dispatch from Flagstaff, A. T.. says:
THE San Juan river gold excitement has
about subsidized. Parties are returning
from the placer fields every day. The-ma-
jOrity say that there il no gold to amount
to any thing in the placers. If there is any
kind of development done on the river
it will have to be oone by CAPITALISTS.
and the proposition as to whether
or not it will pay is doubtful one. 1t is
from twelve to thirty feet to bed rock and
lots of water to contend with. There has
been no gold taken out of San Juan, not
withstanding iS has been reported that
large sums have been panned out. The
camp is no place for poor men. The coun-

CHOLERA.

Cholera is in New York city. It may
be brought to Richmond tomorrow. A
Pullman car leaves New York for Rich
mond every morning, running through
and stopping here. Another leaves in
the evening and does the same. An Old
Dominion steamer leaves New York for
Richmond every other day. Cholera may
be brought by either one.
To deal with the subject intelligently,
it is necessary to understand it. Cholera
is this An infnitesimslly small insect
gets on food or in water and is swal-
lowed 1t multiples itself with extreme
rapidity. After getting into the bowels
it attacks the inner coating Of them. 1t
eats holes through this inner coating.
The Serious or watery particles of the
blood ooze through these holes into the
intestines, leaving the blood too thick to
course through the arteries and return
to the heart through the veins. The
heart is thus unable to perform its func-
ton of pumping the blood through the
system, and the sufferer dies of asphyxia,
suffocation. This is all there is about
cholera. The insect is taken into the
system through the mouth. Guard against
this and you guard against cholera.
The insect breeds most favorably in
filth. The chances of perfectly clean
place being exempt from cholera are in
finitely greater than the chances Of
filthy place.
RICHMOND Is NOT CLEAN.
Many of the alleys have filth heaps
that should be removed. Decayed vege-
table and animal matter can be found
lying in many places.
RICHMOND SHOULD AT ONCE BIZ MADE CLEAN.
The Council should take the matter in
hand without an hodr's delay and make
such provision as is necessary for clean
ing tie city thoroughly and effectively.
