TWO STORIES.
Conflicting Reports About the New
San Juan PIacerS.

Dan Juan PiaCeFS.
DENVER Dec. 23.-The greatest gold
fever that has stricken Colorado since the
Ruby and California gulcb diggings drew
thousands of miners into those camps, has
now complete possession of the West.
Here, as we'll as in every camp in Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona, there is
nothing talked of except the new
placer fields on the San Juan River in
Southern Utah. At Durango. Rico and
Dolores in this State, many outfits
have already started for the new fields, and
by Saturday it is estima tea that 300 miners
will have left these three points for the new
FL Dorado. Mining men in almost every
town are clubbing together and Offering big
inducements to professional prospectors to
visit the mines.
At Albuquerque. n. Mex. and other
points along the line of the Atlantic and
Pacific the excitement is intense. and rail-
way officials and clerks have thrown up
their positions and headed great army Of
g1ld-hunters.
The fact that Of the many who have al

Colo, on the line of the Denver and Rio
Grande. The gold fields are probably most
accessible by way Of the latter points,

worn during the day. Poor rest and ia
tigue the next day is the result.

the stockings and garters inside the
shoes, aud hang them in the net. A
