a neighboring town about sixty mics
distant natural gas well has recently
been sunk 800 feet which produces an
immense flow Of fine quality of gas. This
same company are going down 900 feet,
with every indication of soon producing
flowing oil well. The same conditions
exist on this side Of tho mountain. Places
can be found where the earth will burn;
particles Of oil can be found at tho waters
edge of some streams. and it needs but
the drilling machine to bring it to the
surface.
The system Of irrigation Of Delta coun-
ty as yet is not complete, but is well
advanced and in short time will be
perfected. The opportunities for irriga-
tion are good, and within short time all
will be supplied. The natural facilities
are such that it makes it comparatively
easy to convey water up to and over the
most elevated portions Of the mesas. This
is true Of California, Garnet and Rogers
mesas.
Along the valleys OF the Uncompahgre,
Gunnison, North Fork, Smiths Fork,
Muddy, LIE Roux, Tongue and Surface
creeks, there is an abundance OF water
for all purposes. In addition to this, a
complete system of reservoirs have been
established along the Grand Mesa, which
afford sufficient water for purposes re-
quired along the valleys or table lands
bordering thereon. The advantages to
be derived from the facilities for procur-
ing abundance Of water throuhout the
county is OF incalculeble value, and one
that should be taken into consideration,
as upon this depends lorgely the success
Of the toiler.
One of the latest markets which the
valleys west Of the range must supply is
the Goose Creek gold camp, where the
new town Dubois has been started, and
which will doubtless surpass Cripple
Creek All these mining camps do bust
ness on cash basis at fabulous prices.
Old fruit growers claim they can mako
money raising fruit at one cent per pound,
and whom from four to eight cents per

can be realized.
In the consideration OF DoIta's markets
much credit is due to G. L. Wright, the
leading commission man and his force OF
"hustling" employees. He has brought

The business of the burglar is for more
dangerous than it used to be, owing
principally to the emancipation OF the
modern woman. In the days Of Claude
Duval and Dick Turpin heroines tainted
gracefully away when asked for their
jewels, and indeed until a comparatively
recent date all we'll regulated females
tainted when they counted over the men
OF their families and found strange one
among them. All the old fashioned
burglar had to do was to await the depar-
ture Of the "men folks" and then help
himself; the burglar OF to day has to make
different arrangements, especially if he is
operating in Chicago.
Only few days ago burglar invaded
the sacred premises OF an old maids
paradise, where four girls were "baching
together. Did they faint? Not much
One Of them fell upon the burglar and
hugged all the breath out OF him. and the
other three lifted up their voices and
yelled for a policeman. When the patrol
arrived they handed over the bruised and
mashed remains Of 4 man who had once
been an honor to tho profession.

Tailors' Dummies. [

Wax figures are slowly disappearing
as advertising agencies. The cheap
tailors use figures of wire with heads
of plaster and papier mache, and the
cheap dentists have taken in some of
their horrible heads with staring eyes
and teeth that were gnashcd by ma
chinery. The effect of summer sun on
a few of the wax figures that are still
used in shop windows is ghnstlv.
There is one figure of woman whose
arm is dropping into u half-circlc, and
there is n taiior's dummy whose fore
head is falling into his eyes, giving
him very malign expression. In II
certain farce comedy q loud laugh is
raised ut an incident in q tailors shop.

has been standing stifiiy against the
wall moves forward with clnsped
hands, makes gesture Of agonized en-
treaty, and walks off like an autom-
atom. The singer stops.

rHE EMPEROR RESENTS ADVICE
His Young Majesty of China Has Notions
ns tn His Own Education.

His Young Majesty of China Has Notions
ns to His Own Education.
The Pclin Gazette lately contained
n curious decree from the emperor re-
fc,1ing to certain proposals that had
been made for his proper education.
An of.icious censor presented mcmor-
ial suggesting that the emperor should
rcstabiish the former practice of hav-
ing the classics and other sacred writ
ings daily cXpounded to him. Upon
this his majesty observes: "Since we
have undertaken the task of govern
ing in person. we have daily received
in audience the officials of the metrop-
oils and the provinces, and done our
very utmost to rightly discern the
proper men and pass Judgment on their
actions. Such time as remains at our
disposal after transacting the multi
tudinous affairs of state we devote to
the study of the classics and historical
records. often engaging in discussion
with the imperial tutors, and never
permitting ourselves for n moment to
indulge in luxurious case"
The great Kicn Lung explained his
objection to the old practice to be that
the ccnsors whose business it was to
e,:Eound the classics in rotation, and
hereby to raise the standard Of moral
virtue. made use Of the opportunity to
tender their advice on things in gen
sral, and to air their private views. "A
lew years later the same great ruler
publicly announced that after listen
srg for more than ten years to the ir-
relevant comments of his tutors on
public affairs he was tired of them.
ard that these unenlightcned and un-
statesrnanli!se expositions must stop.
A later emperor said much the same.
With these preccdents of his anccs-
tors to guide him, the present emperor
concludes his decree as follows: ''Two
cmperors have thus expressed their
views with regard to this matter, and
the conclusion they arrived at was
that these expositions we're a mere
fraud; that they did not advance true
understanding Of the principles of gov
crnment; that those concerned endcav-
ored to put forward their private
views and by fiattery carry ont their
false designs. We see through all
this quite clearly, and 1t would be well
were the censor to revcrently peruse
the views Of former sovcreigns in re-
gard to this matter. His memorial is,
moreover, in many respects obscure,
and his arguments not to the point.
His proposition need not be enter
taiued" ~. a.

LAID BY THE FAeLED ROC.
Important discovery In Madagascar Of the
Egg of tho Extinct Gigantic Bird.

i1hCOtcEy III mau1EAAcaf OI the
Egg OF tho Extinct Gigantic Bird.
A large specimen of the egg of the
tabled roc of the arabian Nights or
Hpyornis, as the extinct gigantic bird
of Madagascar is called, has been se-
cured by Mr.. j Proctor, of Tamatave
and Princes square, W.. who has
brought the curiosity to London. 1t
was Uncovered by some natives about
twenty miles to the southwark of st.
Augustinc's bay, on the southwest
coast of Madagascar. 1t was floating
on the calm sea, within twenty yards
of the beach, and is supposed to have
been washed away with the foreshorc,
which consists OF sand hills, after o
hurricane in the carly part of the year.
The chiidlillc longshorcman of the
antipodes, opining tNat the egg had
value, showed the ..uusunl piece of
hotsam about with &. view to sale, and
it thus came into the hands of Mr..
Proctor. The egg, which is whitley
brown in color and unbroken, is fine
specimen, 331lx2S inches, and nn even
higher value is placed upon it than
upon the egg Of the great aux, which
lived within the memory of man. The
Brobdignagian proportions of the egg
arc better demonstrated by compar-
ison with the eggs Of the ostrich and
crocodile. An ostrich's egg is about II
inches by Is inches, and the contents of
sig such are only equal to one egg of
the Epyorris. The measurements of
the egg Of the crocodile arc normally
inches by 81 inches. 1t would re-
quirc the contents of 161I cmu's eggs
to equal the contents Of this great egg,
or l4s eggs of the homcly fowl, or 3O,-
600 of the humming bird. The last egg
OF the kind disposed of in London sold
for R100, though cracked.

dergolng erection that was brought from Wales. Wales Is itself a copper pro- queer, and likely they have been trou. bled with sulphur there. Some ippeni- ous Evans or Jones or Hughes there conceived the idea of blowing the sul . phur out of the molten metal. The plan was success. but, Oh! what a heat t requi es! The fiery furnace that Dan- lel's frieUds were put into wasn't a cir cumstance to the awful heat that will be required here. Blowers and coke and facilities can produce almost any degree of heat, though, so with the regulation smelter and supplemental furnace that the sulphurcus ores can be run into hot from the emelter, the required figure of heat can be obtained. The molten stuff will then go into the Welshman's sppa- ratus for blowing the sulphur out. It resembles a soda fountain generator somewhat, except that it is a hundred times as big. A twelve-inch current of air will be sent through each of them at rate that will shoot the sulphur far from the miniature hell within.

Hail to the Chief!"

This is half the title of an old song. The balance is, "who in triumph ad, vances." The public, the press and the medical profession chant this refrain as especially applicable to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, chief among American remedies and preventives for malaria, constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, unquiet sleep, rheumatic twinges and the trou bles incident to ad- vanced age. It is also universally rec ognized as reliable tonic and appetizer. As family medicine particularly suita- ble to emergencies it has no equal. The nervous, the feeble seek its aid, and the happiest results follow. The convales- cent, the aged and the infirm derive inf nite benefit from its use. Against the influences of impure air, bad water. un- accustomed food, overwork and expos ure it is genuine preventive.

THE METAL BECOMES USEFUL.

Copper, that has almost an infinity If uses. 1t may, witL it's impervious qual- ities, become the sheath of the bottom of some noble vessel and carry men Tn se- curity to the ends of the earth for dec- sdes to come.
 It may, with its marvellous conductive properties. become good wire that in a hairs space of time will convey the thoughts of men to other continents.
 With it's cohesive property it may be utilized to destroy the race of man. Perhaps it will go to Russia and be made into cannon. A great deal of to- days production of copper has that function.
 Some of it will go east and be trans formed into articles of manufacture and may come back enhanced ia value a hundred or a thousand fold. A little of it may be utilized to copper plate the rims of popular bicycle. If any Bls- bee copper is so used, and it comes to Arizona again, it will have grown in value a million times
 This copper is wonderful stuff.
