The Fertility of Broom Corn.

It is estimated that an acre of land in
broom corn will make 1000 pounds at
each of the two cuttings per annum, be-
sides thirty BUSHES OF seed and four tons
of hay. Two good workings will make
the crop, thin it out, leaving from three
TO four stalks in the hill. and requiring
no other cultivation. The first cutting
should take place about July 10 and the
second about November l. The seed is
fine for feeding purposes for any kind of
stock, and the hay superior to prairie
hay. There are parties willing to guar
antee the purchase of 500 tons of broom
corn-will enter into bond if necessary
delivered at depot, agreeing to pay
$50 per ton cash, which insures as ready
sale as cotton.
Five hundred acres will produce that
amount, one ton per acre, and the eX-
pense OF preparation fer market is much
less than cotton, and if cured we'll and
handled we'll it classes No. l. The seed
can be procured for 81 per bushel, and
one bushel will plant six acres. In view
of the fact that the price of cotton is
so low as not to pay for its cultivation,
in casting about for other products for
the farm the cultivation of broom corn
should come in for share Of the atten-
ton of our farmers, especially as the
broom factories in the State are import
ing their material from St. LouiS.-COl-
Orado Citizen.

A Mystery Which Is Worrying the Share
holders of an English Company.
DENVER, Jan. 23.-The directors Of the
Tarryall Creek Gold Company, Limited, are
very anxious to learn what has become of
5000 ounces of gold which, it was claimed,
were shipped from its mines in this State to
its London Office
One of the shareholders, Mr.. Bolton,
was angry at his associates for not accept
ing the offer he made to them year ago.
Then, he said, he was willing to journey to
this State and make the necessary in
quiries about the mine. Mr.. Bolton added
that he did not wish to say anything against
the character of Mr.. Fortune, the superin-
tendent of the mine, but he would speak
about his carelessness, and he thought it
strange that the company could not compel
this man to report to his superiors. He in
dorsed the suggestion that someone be sent
to Colorado to investigate what had become
of the 5000 ounces.

OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP

The features of local business the past
week were the best Clearing House state
ment for several months, improvement in
the real estate market and activity in specu-
lative circles. Money was abundant and
easy to get on acceptable collateral There
was notable absence of unfavorable infu-
ences. The Chilean imbroglio caused
scarcely ripple, SO strong was the feeling
that the outcome will be pacific. The
country has successfully emerged from its
financial embarrassments and started upon
career of prosperity under highly favorable
conditions for commercial and industrial de-
velopment. In broader than local sense,
trade exhibited an improving tendency and
confidence in the future was strong all over
the business world.
