PROSPECT is BAD
A DISMAL OUTLOOK FOR ROMANCE
AND FICTION.
Am.rioan Writers Whose Stars of Promise
Have Faded Away-No Interest In the
Present Nor Hope For the EaSure-Wo-
men at the Front.
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK. Sept. 24-Probably the out
s,ot- was never more dismal since Ameri-
can Iiterature was recognized as one OF the
most important of our national develop
rnents than is the case this fall-at least
for the literature of romance and fiction.
The Young writers of whom so much was
expected few years ago seem either TO
have written themselves out or else TO have
abandoned their pens.
Twenty years ago a young Harvard
graduate who wrote over the nom de
nIune Of J. s of Dale, was thought by
many to be the coming maker OF Amerl-
can fiction. His pretty story of Guerne-
dale was full of promise, but Mr. Stinson,
the busy lawyer who is j. :. OF Dale IN
the flesh, has found dry pleadings and be-
seecbing clients more profitable II not
more to his liking than the writing OF ro-
mances.
Bret Harte expatriated himself nearly
60 years ago, and he is not likely ever to re-
turn TO the United States, since II Is report
ed that he has made a home for his family
i'm England, and that he finds 1t more 10
his profit to follow his vocation OF writer
of stories there than would be the case Ii
he remained in this country. His trlunphs
were the greatest-at least for brief sea
Son, so far as personal tributes were CON
cerned-that any American writer OF nc
tion has received, and his triumphal trip
across the continent resembled more near
iy the sensational journey of Dickens
through this country than has that OF any
other American writer.
Edgar Saltus, that strange, undis-
ciplined genius who, when he was mem
Der of law school in New York, seemed
to his classmates TO have no particular
talent, has almost passed out OF mind,
and. in fact, it is reported, spends much
Of his time in Europe. No first book In
recent years written by a young writer
has gained more kindly criticism or popu-
lar approval than did the story of Sydney
Luska, - written by young clerk employ
ed in the surrogate's office in New York
named Henry Harland. He, too, was
looked upon as the youth who was full OF
promise. Harland came OF good literary
stock. near relative of his, man of
high culture, was n very brilliant officer IN
the civil war General Harland, who IS
now a practicing lawyer in Connecticut.
Young HarlaEd's family was in intimate
association with that Of Edmund Clarence
Stedman, 10 whom Harland owes MUCH Of
his literary inspiration. He, too, has
made of himself an alien, having settled
permanently in London and being assocI-
ated with Oscar Wilde and others of the
orchid set who are producing that strange
periodical, The Yellow Book.
When Professor Hardy of Dartmouth
college astonished his students and de-
lighted the world with his brilliant story
'B1t Yet Woman, he was hailed as one

of those young men who would take up
American literature where Irving and
Cooper and Mrs. Stowe had left it, But
Professor Hardy has now seen fit to stifle
his inspirations because of his duties as
associate editor Of The Cosmopolitan
Magazine.
Gilbert Parker, who is an American by
birth, but not United States American,
Is using the rich material for romance
that the present life and past history OF
Canada furnish. But he is not doing iG
in this country. He makes his home near
London, although he is occasionally seen
in New York, where he makes brief visits,
that he may see his publishers and friends.
Mr.. Howclls never went into finer &c
Btacies than when he spoke the praises of
q little book published some 20 years ago
called An Earnest Trifer" lie was writ
ten by young woman of Ohio birth, II
1assie still in her teens, and it was the
vogue for q season. Great things We're cx-
pccted of the author, but she has disap-
peared as completely rs though she had
passed away, and nothing that the public
recognized ever came again from her pen.
George W. Cable is said TO be at work
upon another novel, bat he produces so
slowly and publishes only after SO great
Intervals of time that be, toe. scarcely
makes any impress upon American liter
Rture. Besides that, he is busy much of the
time in his public readings and lectures.
Mark Twain. too, seems no longer to ne
able TO hold the American public with
that commanding interest of which he was
the master dozen years ago. His latest
story " Pudd nhcad Wilson, " like one or
two other of his recent tales, has com
manded far more interest in Great Britain
than has been the case in this country
Twain has become great transatlantic
traveller, and within the past year has
crossed the ocean a half dozen times.
Mr.. HowellS himself seems TO have in
some measure ut least devoted his work
ing hours more TO the writing of essays.
"reminiscences and social sketches than 10
fiction. His latest completed work. ~ \
Traveller From Altruria. was probably
the least successful of anything that ne
has done. The fear is beginning 10 be ex-
pressed that we already have the greatest
OF Mr.. Howells' achievements
Therefore there Is little 10 hope in the
way OF brilliant fiction or romance for the
present At least from most Of those Young
writers who few years ago wen, looked
upon as the coming heroes OF American
literature. Garland i busy with his lee
lures and his essays, Fuller has not yer

In this country which commands attention
now Is that produced by TWO or three bril-

LEADyILLE, Colo, Sept. 25.-Leadville
is undoubtedly the greatest mining camp
of the world. If its true history is ever
written, it will read like a romance or
fairy tale, for the conception OF its mex
haustible stores of gold, silver, lead. cop
per, zinc and iron has never yet been
faithfully portrayed.
Since 1873 Leadville has been known as
the great carbonate camp of Colorado,
the producer of the famous smelling ores
of lead and silver, as the shipper of the
more refractory roasting sulphides of lead,
zinc and iron and as the great supply de-
pot of argentiferous iron fluxing ores.
New Life For Leadville.
When the fall in price of lead and silver
came year ago, Leadville was apparently
paralyzed and for time it looked as If
this famous camp might become another
