Governor Waite on the 10th issued
an order removing Messrs. +. A. Ray.
nolds, Charles Boettcher and l. b.
Chamberlain fro m the position Of pen.
itentiary commissioners
The specific charges against Com
missioner Reynolds and Boettcher are
the appointment Of W. II. Loar, q de-
tective for tho penitenti,,ry and re-
formatory at salary Of $50 month
from each institution, and for paroling
prisoners from the peniten tiary to the
reformatory. Commissioner Chamber
lain was not charged with participa-
ton in the Loar business, a. he was
not = member Of the board when Lcar
was appointed n detective.
Whether tho commissioners will
obey the order to retire admits Of very
grave doubt, according to statements
credited to them during the investiga.
ton. They rest their claim to the lc.
gality Of their procedure in paroling
prisoners from the penitcntIary to tho
rcformatory on an pinion rendered by
cx-Attorncy General Maupin. This

The Fremont county coal miners,
inding it impossible to secure trans
portation out Of Florence, started on
Saturday afternoon to walk. They
reached Pueblo that evening but
found little prospect Of getting to
Rouse or Trinidad unless they walked.
This they decided to be too great an
undertaking, and Sunday afternoon
they boarded two empty passenger
coaches which the Rio Grande al
lowed them to occupy and were taken
back to Florence.
Very hard times are predicted for
the coal camps Of Fremont county in
the very near future. Many Of the
miners had only sufficient work dur
ing the winter to keep them. They
have been out Of work now one month,
so that even now many must be de-
pendent upon charity and what little
money is raised at other camps and
sent in. Business men at Coal Greek
are very Respondent.

Striksrs IA Trsmont County Wast {,

strikers IA fremont County Want to
Maks the Other HiasFs Quit
Work.
In the a ,ass-meeting Of the strikers
in Fremont county, held on the LIST Of
May, sgitato RS were instructed to 60 "a
New Castle, Boulder and to all mi mes
working in the southern part Of the
state to urge tile miners to quit. These
men went to the places mentioned, as
directed, but their efforts have been
unavailing. Recently the leaders Of
the strike decided to send larger del
sgation Of miners to urge strike.
Accordingly, on Friday night, min
srs began to arrive in Florence from
the coal camps Of Coal Greek. Rock
vale, Williamsburg and Chambers,
until 600 men were congregated at the
Rio Graude depot awaiting the arrival
Of freight train, which they intend
I'd to board in body and compel the
trainmen TO carry them to Pueblo, and
from there, by the same method, they
expect to 60 to Huerfauo and Las An
imas counties, where several thousand
miners from all sections Of the state
will congregate for the purpose Of COM
polling the miners in every southern
coal camp to quit work.
The gang is made up chiefly Of Ital-
ii and Austrians and each man car
lbs small package Of Lunch.
The Rio Grande officials decided not
to allow their trains to be captured If
they could help it, and NO trains stop
ped at Florence Friday night or Satur-
day. 1t is said that there are $50 dep.
uty sheriffs in charge Of the mines in
Las Animas county, force sufficient,
in the Colorado Fuel & Iron Compa-
ny's opinion, to amply guard their in
terests in the district.
Thursday night about 400 striking
coal miners went from Rngle and Sopris
through Trinidad to Berwind and Has
tings, to compel the miners there to
cease work. A sherifi's posse, with
injunctions and Winchester rifles, met
them and they dispersed without fur

THE IA PLATA GOLD FIELDS.

Covering an area Of over 100 square
miles, the La Plata mountains offer .
wide field for the active prospector and
miner. Experienced men, having been
in nearly all the gold camps Of this and
1 other states, declare "they nowhere
found as much mineral to the square
mile, and that the camp, if properly
worked, will be one Of the best.
The mineral is found in vertical
veins or horizontal strata Of great mag
-nitude. Last falls discoveries, the
Baker contact, the Columbus, the Mon
texuma, etc., were only small begin
ming to prove to the world the i'm
nense bodies of low grade ore that is
hidden in the La Plata mountains.
The Baker contact for instance, has
been disclosed in several places miles
from the original discovery, and seems
to be horizontal ore zone, penetrat-
ing the whole mountain group. If
the mineral bearing strata should, Us
now is said, contain the metal in o
FREQ state, or SO as to make it workable
by stamp, this alone would bring the
La Plata the fame Of being the. largest
body Of free milling ore yet discovered.
But from the character Of the ore,
showing that the gold is associated
with iron, the conclusion may be
drawn that it is only partly free mill
ing, OF, so far as the oxidizing action
has gone.
Where Col Baker made his we'll.
known discovery the mineral stratum
is lightly covered, and then the action
may have spread over large area, but
where it is capped over to several hun
dred feet, it is doubtful as to its "free
milling character. And az a fact, it
has not yet been demonstrated that
any part, except the surface ore, is
Of that kind.
Among the perpendicular or assure
veins the Montezuma ranked first un-
til the Honest john, with 36.foot
vein, was discovered. This large body
of quartz porphyry gives an average
value OF ~ per ton, and SO far as de-
v!elopEents show, is partly free mill
ing.
The Fredericton, being located on
the same lead AS the Montezuma, has
the largest nliueralized body, being
over 100 fe.t in width. The vein
matter here, as in the Montezuma, is
porphyrict'.o matric, in which several
strata OF porphyry arc imbedded. 1t
has been opened now to q width Of 49
feet.
The latest discovery Of importance
is on the Lightner Greek, where a
lar 60 body Of high grade ore was struck;
according to information, it is over
FOUR feet wide, and assays 289 ounces
Of silver and Sc in gold. The vein
matter differs from anything seen be-
fore in La Plata, and carries, beside
silver and gold, gray copper.
Another rich strike is reported from
tho vicinity Of Parrott, where, also,
a body Of high grade ore was disclosed,
giving an assay return Of 200 OF. silver
and 5 OF. gold.
Prospecting is going on vigorously,
but very little Of mining has yet be-
gun, owing to lack of necessary capt.
tai. 1t is, however to be hoped that
capital will see the merits of the camp, |
and develop some promising prospect,
which, without aid, will be nothing
but prospect.

The trio Of commonweal leaders,

the order Of the lower court.
Counsel for Coxey, Browne and

tice Bradley for q writ Of certiorari to
take the case out Of the Police court
and certify it to the Supreme court 4

an understanding has been arrived at
by which the sentence Of the defend.

cision. 4

Browne were fined IS each additional
for trespassing upon the grass, the al
tentative being another ten days in
Jail. Jones was acquitted on this last
charge.
Coxey, Browne and Jones, with
handouts on their wrists, were placed
in the police van with dozen white

Immediately conveyed to Jail.
Coxey did not relish this, and when
he was told that he was to be taken to
the district prison he asked to be al

quest was not granted, and he and
his companions were compelled to ride
