THE PASSING THRONG.
TALKS WITH TRAVELLERS

"The last time was in Southern Europe I
met New Yorker who asked me what
thought of that part of the world in compari-
son with Southern California. told him that
| 10 my mind the one. was woman OF 80 and
the other dainsel of 49," said G. G. Lieb-
hardt of Denver at the Nadeau hotel last even
ing "Since then have been here often and
each time come like my comparison better.
Certainly Southern California is the mos beau
tiful corner OF the earth, and l am in love
with the damsel of u.s. And when soy this
do not forget the greatness OF my own state.
This year Colorado will take the lead in the
gold output Recently we have developed
some remarkable gold mines"-Mr. Leibhardt
is VIII olessle fruit merchant--"and California
will not be ahead of us in that respect this
year. The name of Leadville ought to be
changed to Goldville. There and at Cripple
Creek they have struck blanket-like layer of
quartz that seems to be about inexhaustible
and as rich as any quartz ever struck. The
Little Johnnie takes out 100000 month OF
gold, besides the silver that comes with It,
There are several mines in the vicinity that
are paying fully as well.
Colorado is big patron of California in the
matter of early vegetables and fruits and al
ways will be- of course. But we can beat you
in peaches and apples, and before long Colorado
will supply the best markets in the world with
these fruits. We get all our early potatoes
from Southern California, and yet you may be
surprised to hear me say that Colo ado has
tract OF la nd that produces potatoes to as good
advantage to the raiFers as the oranges arctic
the growers of Southern California. Or, per-
haps it is better put this way: At Greeley and
Eaton there are potato patches worth about as
much as your orange groves. OF course, they
do not come until late, but they bring excel
lent prices down in Texas"
at is almost impossible far a foreigner to
get reliable information concerning the life
and habits OF the imperial family OF Russia
said George KEENAN, the lannon's lecturer
on Siberia, at the Westminster last evening
Il have told this to great many newspaper
men recently who have asked me about the
new car. What little l know about him IL
this That he was less dissipated than any OF
his brothers, that he has kindly face and
manner and think, disposed to be far more
liberal in his policy than was the car his
father While at ST. Petersburg met the then
cza owitch and heard some gossip ab1ut his
Jewish mistress, but 1t was only gossip, and
such little thing as that in Russia
would not make man dlssipated. AS nave
said, it is extremely difficult to gain any in
formation about the imperial family, and what
did obtain came to me in rather u peculiar
manner. There happens to be an English
dentist in St Petersburg and he is recognized
as the best dentist in the empire. Conse-
quently he did all the work for the imperial
family, and could and did tell me great deal
about the grand dukes and their intrigues and
designations"
mot few residents of Southern California
were born and reared in Nova Scotia and
thereabouts," said the Rev. william II. Ness
Presbyterian clergyman of that far-off PENN
sula at the Nadeau yesterday. sand many
more of our people will ultimately come here
to settle. Our climate is peculiarly trying to
those who have weak throats or lungs. There
is cold dampness in the atmosphere that
causes much illness from these complaints. l
have suffered good deal from difficulty in
the throat, and If 1 find this climate beneficial,
l shall ultimately leave my pastorate there
and come and settle here. good many other
Nova Scotians have done the same in the past
few years, so 1 shall not feel lonely when l
come to stay
