own Gold Mines but Lack Money.

Prospecting for gold has received o
great impetus through recent events
which have thrown so many men out of
employment. Not only have silver min
ers and smelter men gone to prospecting,
but mechanics and laborers who have
had mining experience in former years
now find their knowledge of minerals Of
utility in the change of occupation forced
upon them by the closing down of mills
and factories. Whatever else NAV be
the result of the additional labor devoted
to gold prospecting, it is sure to be the
means of the discovery of valuable gold
leads and the enrichment of individual
prospectors.
As an evidence that old fields supposed
to have been thoroughly explored are
yet capable of further development.
theH were yesterday shown samples of
ore and assay of some taken from Boul-
der county in the old Jimtown district
which showed fine free gold on 20 differ
ent specimens and gave an average ASSAY
from average samples of over $50 per
ton. The owners of this property are
poor men without means necessary to
get out their ore and have applied to
Labor Commissioner Brentlinger of this
state in the hope that he might know
some one willing to buy an interest and
advance money enough TO enable them
TO get their first carload of ore on the
market.-Colorado Sun.

wan Streets Narrow Escape.

Wall street barely escaped something
worse than Black Friday on July 18. 1t
came pretty near to being black Tues
day. Scores of men on and off the ex-
change will remember it as long as they
live in the way that one remembers a
great peril, and even the men who made
hundreds of thousands through that days
awful drop in values will always look
back upon it with a twinge of terror.
Some time, when these troublous times
have passed and Wall street has chance
to pause for bit of gossip again, great
story will be told about that Tuesday,
story that will astound everybody ex-
cept few of the country's greatest spec
ulators, and q story that will make many
people in this and other cities turn pale
and catch their breaths
They will show then how frightfully
narrow was the escape from financial
catastrophe of crushing magnitude
They will know that the fate of the
street, and with it the fate of scores of
tributaries TO the street, legitimate and
otherwise, of bankers, merchants and
manufacturers. too numerous to stop to
count, hung in the balance. and that a
fingers touch from any one of three
men would have turned the scale ruin
ward. And when they learn this they
will probably come as near to really
thanking God as their religion or lack
of religion will let them, because instead
of the one mans finger touch weighing
the scale down with disaster there was
sturdy shoulder push from all three of
that days destinies of the street to force
it up into safety.-New York Press.

Cost of Seeing the Great Fair

The attendance at the Worlds fair
now exceeds 100000 a day, and it is
likely to increase rather than fall off
now that the conditions are known to be
so favorable. There has been a popular
impression that trip to the fair must
involve great expense. In fact it ap-
pears to be quite as cheap as any other
outing. The following table has been
compiled to show the actual cost of q
journey from New York to Chicago and
return, with six days stay:

BISMARCK VERY WEAK.
He May he Compelled to Stay in KissInger
All Winter.

LONDON, Sept. GA dispatch from
Kissingen says that Prince Bismarck's
illness is dangerous His family does
not approve of the suggestion that has
been made that Emperor William visit
him at Kissingen, as they fear that the
slightest increase of excitement might
prove fatal. The dispatch adds that if
the princes doctors gave their assent,
Emperor William, it is said, will visit
Prince Bismarck as soon as the latter is
removed to Frederichsruhe. 1t appears
now that his return to his home at
present is impossible.
The Standards correspondent at Ber-
lin, in his report about Prince Bis
marck, quotes various papers TO show
that the eX-chancellor is stiu very
weak These papers say, the corre-
spondent continues, that the prince is
pale and emaciated He has no appe-
tite, and he looks a head shorter than
be formerly did. His family are urging
him TO go 20 Friedrichsruhe but the
old statesman is reluctant TO make a
move, and is fearfui of the effects OF n
journey upon him in his weakened
condition. The prince now talks Of
remaining in kissingen for the winter.

DASTARD'S PLOT
TO Blow UP the Reichsrath and
Other Buildings In Vienna.
Thousands OF People Would Probably Have
Been Killed Vienna Police Assert That
Chicago AImrchists are In the Plot
Important Papers Captured.

VIENNA, Sept. 29-In spite OF efforts
to belittle the arrest in this city on
September % of a number of anarchists
IN house on Siebenbrunner strasse.
the fact remains that the police
Of this city did upon that occa-
sion discover the greatest con-
FawlSes in England. On September 23
the police, when they found in the
house on Siebenbrunner street, in this
city, cases of revolvers, bombs ready
for loading, explosives at hand with
which to load the bombs and coats
with leather Innings, TO which hooks
for suspending bombs were attached.
also discovered in the walls and furni-
ture of the house, where the coats
were also found, documents OF
most important nature. The Aus
trian police say that the investigation
made since September "a show that the
anarchists intended TO smuggle guam
tity of dynamite into the underground
portion of the reichsrath, and when
that body met, on October 10, to
blow the reichsrath sky high and strike
terror into the hearts of the enemies OF
the independent group of socialists, to
which the anarchists arrested on Sep
tember 23 here belonged.
But the Reichsrath was not the only
building the anarchists intended to
blow up on October To- They had
their plans also fully prepared To blow
up the town hall. In this building over
n thousand people would have been de
stroyed ON October 10. Even this
was not the full extent of
the terrible conspiracy discovered.
A 'number of other important
buildings on the Ring strasse, one of
the finest streets in Europe, were
doomed TO destruction, with every body
in them, on the day appointed for the
anarchist outbreak. The university,
another building, was also TO be under
mined with dynamite, as was the fam
Gus historical Museum of Vienna and
other fine buildings of a similar nature.
The Hofburg theater opposite the Rath-
haus, was also marked out for dynamit-
ing.
Now comes, so far as the United
States is concerned, the strangest part
Of the whole conspiracy. The bombs
of the Vienna anarchists were manu-
featured according 10 the formula pre-
pared by Herr Most, of New York.
This is not all. The police of this city
insist and claim to be able to prove
their assertion that the anarchists
engaged in the terrible conspiracy
against the city of Vienna were
connected with the anarchists of Chi
cago. This is not a police theory, the
authorities say, but the connections of
the anarchists of Chicago with those OF
this city, they insist, has been fully
established beyond any doubt Cores
pondence between the anarchists here
and those in Chicago is said TO be in
the hands of the Austrian police, who,
it would seem, must have communi.

In Indiana the Greatest Havoc Has Beck
Wrought-An Average Crop in Ohio.
WAsHINGToS, Sept 2S.-At the de-
partment of agriculture il is stated
that the wheat and corn crop through
out Ohio this year are about the aver
age of good yield, and reports indicate
successful harvesting. But in Indiana
reports show that the unprecedented
drought Of the past three months con-
tinues throughout the state, only in
terruPted by light local rains. The
corn crop, that early in the season
promised to be one OF the best has de-
clined to a little more than half crop
and in many counties as low as
quarter crop. Potatoes have suffered
the same decline as corn, making little
more than a half crop of inferior quail
ity. Pastures are burned and dried
out until there is not sign of life in
them. They are really fields of dust
instead of verdure. Fruit is a failure.
Apples, that are apparently twelve per
cent. of full crop. drop TO about five
per cent when quality is considered.
Peaches are trihe better, yet small
and inferior in quality

MADRID, Sept 27.-The police ara
searching the houses of anarchists here
for two anarchists who are suspected
of having been connected with the at
tempt made by Pallas, on Sunday last,
on the life of Gen. Mar tinez Campos.
The two men, the police are looking
for, fed from Barcelona to this city
shortly after the explosion of the bombs
on the review geound.
The newspaper press throughout
Spain is demanding that the strongest
measures possible be taken immediate
ly to suppress anarchism- Owing &c
the desire of the government TO be as
liberal as possible in the treatment OF
the people, and owing TO the wish not
TO interfere more than is absolutely
necessary with personal liberty. things
which should have been put down with
n strong hand have been tolerated.
The newspapers here and elsewhere
are practically unanimous in saying
that anarchists are the enemies of hu.
manity in general and that they should
be stamped out of existence with az
little compunction as poisonous snakes
would be destroyed The eyes OF
Spain seem to have been
opened at last to the danger Of
anarchy and TO the necessity of taking
prompt measures to exterminate the
conspirators, whose numbers are in
creasing day by day owing TO the easy
manner in which they have been treat
ed. Anarchistic papers, it is claimed,
are allowed TO be published, and
anarchist societies exist with
the knowledge of the police, all
because of the theory that the papers
should be given as much personal lib
erty as possible.
As one Spanish paper remarks, why
should anarchist papers, preaching
murder, and anarchist societies, organ
izing for murder, be allowed to exist,
when paper preaching simple robbery,
and society organizing for robbery, say
henroosts alone, should be suppressed.
The only difference, it is claimed, is
that the anarchists protect themselves
by claiming that their bloodthirsty
plotting is of political nature
Such politics" it is held by the press
of Spain, must no longer receive even
the faintest show of federation, and
anarchists and anarchy, the papers in
sist, must be effectively stamped out,
once and for all
1t was necessary, however for the
commander-in-chief of the army TO be
bombarded with dynamite at the head
of his forces before the press of Spain
woke up to the real state of affairs SO
far as anarchy is concerned.
Pallas has confessed that he logged
the steps of Gen. Martinez Campos
ever since May. During all this time
he carried n bomb in his pocket, but
never had chance to use It until Sun
daY last.

AN ALLIANCE
Of Pennsylvania Manufacturers With
Silver Senators.
They Have n dorsed An Open Letter 20 the
senate OF the United states Proposing
Basis For. the Settlement OF
the Great silver Question.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept ga large
number OF Philadelphia manufacturers
have determined 10 make an effort to
protect their own interests by making
an alliance with the friends of silver
To that end they have Endorsed an
open letter TO the senate of the United
States. written by Wharton Barker,
which proposes a basis for the settle
ment of the silver question by which
silver may be continued as a money
metal.
The manufacturers who have innu-
gurated this movement do not attri-
butte the present hard times TO the
Sherman law. They assert that it is
due TO the fear that the protective fea-
ture of the tariff is 20 be undermined
They hold that il assurance were given
that the existing tariff laws would not
be disturbed for the next two years,
business would take an immediate
boom, mills would start in all parts of
the country, and employment would
be given 20 thousands OF the working
men.
While holding these views they also
believe that it would be mistake to
demonetize silver. These manufac-
turers believe that in many respects
their interests are allied with the mine
owners of the silver states. 1t was
that belief which prompted the move
ment among the Philadelphia manu-
facturers TO give encouragement to the
silver senators in their fight TO continue
the white metal as n part of the cur
rency of the United States
While the Manufacturers club, as an
organization, has not committed itself
20 the movement, many of its leading
members are interested in IT, James
Dobson is one of the prime movers, and
his name is ut the top of the list of
signers of Mr. Bankers letter. He has
also sent n letter over his own name to
nearly all the manufacturers in the city
asking them 20 read Mr.. Bankers letter,
which he Enclosed, and II they approved
of it TO sign blank slip and send their
names 20 Mr.. Barker.
