THE SAN JUAN PLACERS.
The Rush from Durango - An OK
Train ana stage Line.

DURANGO, Colo.-There is no abate-
ment to the excitement over the gold
fields in southern Utah. From fifty to
sixty people left here yesterday by bull
teams and pack animals, via Mancos.
The rate has been established from here
at $l5 to the camp. This rate covers the
carrying of blankets and some wearing
apparel, six days rations and the priv-
lege of riding most of the distance. Sew
eral letters have been reported to have
been received from parties who are there,
but as to their contents no definite in
formation can be learned. The letters
are reported to have been mailed from a
point called Riverside. Definite and
positive information is expected from
the camp in few days from reliable
source.
Denver King & Brownson will to-
morrow start their stage line from Do
lores to Bluff City and will in time ex-
tend it further in the direction of the new
gold fields in the San Juan country. The
stage line will connect with the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad at Dolores north
west of Durango and it is expected that
Bluff City can be reached in twelve hours
from Dolores. 1t is expected that this
will cause a great deal of travel to the
fields by way of southern Colorado.

think any serious attempt would be made
to force those bills to vote, In both
houses he thought there was Il large ma
jority against the repeal of the act which

the law in the senate was sufficient to

/ knew a gentleman who married q
sweet and lovely girl. She was very
devoted to him, and when she discov-
cred his dissipated habits she endeav-
ored to shield him. When he stayed
out at night she would send the serv-
ants to bed, while she waited and
watched for him; and then, in her
night-dress, and pair of slippers on
her feet, she would glide down very
gently and let him in. One night he
came home late The servants were
in bed. The house had a front door;
then a marble vestibule, and then an
inner door. She opened the one,
stepped upon the cold marble, and
opened the outer door. The drunken
husband entered, seized her by the
shoulders, swung her round, opened
the inner door, quickly passed through,
and locked it before his wife could en-
ter. She would not speak or cry ont,
lest she should disgrace her husband
before the servants. In the morning
she was found with her night-dress
drawn under her feet, crouching in
the corner almost chilled to death On
her deathbed she told her father all
never have been known. There is
much that is never known, as well as
a vast amount OF misery and degrade
