putrefaction, or of abnormal fermen-
tative changes.
The chemical nature of poisons gen
Grated in this manuer-of which the
number is possibly targets rs yet
little understood, the compounds
themselves being probably very un-
stable, and so easily altered in any
attempt to isolate them. One which
is generated in cheese, and sometimes
in milk, has been identified, proving TO
be an exceedingly unstable body. This
has not the reaction of an alkaloid, as
some other poisonous products of
putrefaction (ptomaines) have.
i received also some articles taken
from the tables (condimentsl and
from the waste barrel, which l have
examined somewhat in comparison
with the vomited matters, but thus
far only with negative results.
There are, of course, numerous poi
sonous substances, the chemistry of
which has not yet been studied, and
this circumstance must be borne in
mind in forming any conclusion.
Respectfully submitted,

Prof. A. d. Lyons handed in his
report on Saturday regarding the
Barracks poisoning case. The
chemist does not arrive at con-
clusion, but he is inclined to think
that the poison originated in the
stomachs of the men, as result
of incipient putrefaction.'
To people who were present at
the Barracks ON last Tuesday night
the report of Prof. Lyons is not a
disappointment, as it is known
that he did not have the proper
material to work on. In the first
place the stomach elections which
were handed him to analyze were
obtained from men who had been
attacked with several fits of vomit-
ing, and by some oversight the
original stomach elections, or the
ones which would contain the
poison, if any, had been thrown
away.
Another unlucky circumstance
came to light when it was learned
that the food which was not eaten
by the men had been thrown in a
waste barrel. and as a result was
all mixed up.
Judging from the chemists re-
port it looks as though the mystery
viii not be cleared up, for the pres
ent at least.
No amount of talk can convince
the men who were poisoned that
they suffered through an accident
as they feel sure that they were the
victims of some diabolical plot.
Appended is the report of Prof
A. B. Lyons:

Gosse Creek writes as follows:
CRAWFORD. CoLo.. Nov. II. 1898.
We arrived at the Carpenter gold camp
which is situated on the head Of Goose
creek about miles from the Sabol hot
springs. There is quite an excitement
over the rich returns from assays which
ran $500 per ton in gold. The Carpen-
ter Bros. have a group of eight claims III
one body. So for there has only been
assessment work done on these. Wright
and Winters have built large cabin, the
only one erected in camp. but others are
under way. Your correspondent then fol-
lowed down Goose creek about 4 miles
from Carpenter camp. When we arrived
at Gooee creek camp Mr.. Griffey whom
We met in camp. informed US that there
were about 10 cabins now built, and about
l25 men in camp who have claims.
There are about three hundred men in
from Ouray. AS We left camp We met
several wagon loads of men from Ouray,
The County Surveyor of Gunnison coun-
~ is now surveying a road from Gun
rison to Goose creek camp. There is also
talk of a railroad from Sapinero to the
camp. which is about ii miles away. We
were shown some fine specimens Of free
milling ore which assayed about $4,000
per ton. All parties going to the camp
must provide for their own wants, as there
are no hotel accommodation. 1t will
prove to be good camp as they have
some rich looking ore.

NOT ENOUGH GRAIN.
Delta County Did Not Have Enough
Acoraso for ;so3.

A lite investigation shows that the
wheat and oat crop in Delta county is not
as large as usual, and for the reason that
the acreage was short.
Last spring our ranchers put in thou
sands upon thousands Of fruit trees and
neglected 10 SOW IS much grain as usual.
1t was perfectly right TO plant the fruit
trees rs fruit will be the chief industry
of these valleys. but il will be three or
four years before many Of these are bear
ing, and there should be n larger crop OF
grain in the meantime.
There will be no wheat to spare in this
valley this year, when there should be a
quantity 10 ship. Oats are none to
plentiful in the comfy, and both oats
and wheat are bound to be high this
winter.
1t is 10 be hoped that 1894 will see
larger acreage. of all kinds of grain.
Fruit is all right, and the principal re-
source Of our county, but we must have
more grain for the next few years.

AN EXTRA SESSION.


Bloody Brides Waite has made an
other bad break. He has been threaten
ing to convene the Legislature, and give
Colorado another severe blow after bust
ness is slowly picking up from his bad
breaks last summer. He was not satisfied
with his speeches and threats last sum
mer, but add to the injuries if there is
not a great pressure brought to bear
against il.
At first he gave the date of his call
December 1st, but large petitions and
visits from miners and business men have
been pleading with him not to take such
action.
1t is certainly humiliating, when the
citizens of State are obliged to go en-
masse to their Governor to try and pre-
vent his bad breaks. He has finally been
persuaded not to call session until next
winter, and it is to be hoped he will not
then.
He claims he will not advocate any
stay laws. and seems to be unable to say
what he wants. His wild talk and threats
even though he does not carry them out
will have bad effect on our State credit
and reputation. What a pity the Cen
tennial State should be dishonored by
such Governor at time when able
man is most needed.

operation to the device in use in large,
