REFUSED THE PRESIDENTS RE-
QUEST.

The SULTAN OF TURKEY has refused |
to accede to the request of President
CLEVELAND that Consul JEwETT be
allowed to accompany the Turkish
commission to ARMENIA and make
an independent report.
The wisdom of this decision can
be readily understood when 1t is
stated that no rumor or evidence
has been presented that American
citizens have been massacred IN
that country.
What could then have been the
object of such a suggestion ? .
| Certainly not in the interest of civil
lization as alleged, for there is album
dant material upon which to work
Ia this country.
i 1t seems strange that President
? CLEvElAND can do In foreign coun

: to do In his own.

LIFE At CRIPPLE CREEK.
Thomas B. Everett's Story of the
Wild Craze in the Stock
Market.
Has a Floating Population of 10000
and Is Producing $95o,ooo in
Gold Monthly.

Thomas B. Everett of Cripple Creek,
owner of the Mohawk Belle, Atlantic and
other mines, is at the Grand.
He formerly resided for some years in
Ell Dorado and Placer counties, and was
the Republican nominee in the latter in
1892 for member of the Assembly.
Mr.. Everett says the excitement at Grip
pie Creek, Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo over the mining stocks of Cripple
Creek is intense. In some of these places
there are as many as four exchanges, and
several of them have two calls each day.
II never saw anything like it," he said,
"and it must result event ually in great in
jury to those who are gambling, but do
not think it will in any way hurt legiti-
mate mining. There was first one ex-
change at Denver and another at Colo
RADIO Springs. Now there are four at Colo
RADIO Springs, one at Cripple Creek and one
at Pueblo; and now the Real Estate Ex-
change at Denver has listed mines and is
having two calls day.
Hitherto the single exchange in Dem
yer has handled as many as 800, 900 shares
in day, the original exchange at Cripple
Creek 100000 shares in day, and lately
the four exchanges at Colorado Springs
have handled as many as 100000 shares
a day. 1t is strange how the excitement is
running.

The Merchants Association Has
Now Taken Up the
Cudgels.
ADDRESSED THE SUPERVISORS.
Attention Called to the Way in
Which Property Owners Are
yelked Into Signing.

Since the Board of Supervisors decided
that no more street work should be done
bv private contract those who have made
fortunes out of this class of work-the
contractors been putting forth every
effort to influence the Street Committee to
reconsider the matter.
At the last meeting OF the committee
they argued the subject long and earnestly,
though without definite results. The
Merchants Association has taken.the mat
ter up in the fear that the contractors may
finally prevail upon the Supervisors to
change their minds
A communication on the subject. pre-
pared by the associations engineer, IN
which the matter is treated at length and
the Superintendent of Streets severely
commented on, was sent to the poaro
yesterday. 1t is as follows:
In this private work the solicitor goes among
the people on an entire street and enueaVors 10

do the work. If he is good, plausible lalker
he secures some names, and by asslduously
working may get the names OF all the owners
on the block. If he cannot secure all ne N
some way gets the Supervisors to order lhe
work done by public contract, and before the
time expires in which the people can protest
he gets the other names.
Some may be inclined to protest, but seeing
that majority has already signed a contract
give in and go with the majority. Further
proceedings are stopped by the BOARD when
showing is made that three-fourths have
elected 10 take up the work.
The ordering of the work done is effective IN
making people sign, but sometimes it does not
have the desired effect or does not have TO be
resorted to. The thing which is first tried is to

for 100000 shares. the par value of each
share being 81. A year ago the stock was
selling at 30 cents. Now it is up to 50 05,
par value for the mine of over So, 600, 600
But believe IN this case that the mine is
really worth it. 1t is the biggest one at
Cripple Creek. OF course there are hun
dreds of properties on the stock market
that are worth but fraction OF what the
stock is selling for.
There are eight camps in the Cripple
Creek district, having, in all, a population
of about 10000. The biggest is the camp
OF Cripple Greek, With about 600O.
about 450G men are employed in the
district, and they are producing about
$3.50, 900 in gold monthly. Some of the
mines are shipping as much as 300 tons OF
ore day each. The mill capacity is IN
sufficient and other mills are going up.
81 presume there are over 100 paying
mines there. 1t is stated that there are
1859 that would pay if the seienite process
was used in treating the ores.
1.-THE population is scattered over an area
of about six by six miles. Of the 10000
people I presume about 10000 are per-
manent and the other half floating.
1t was, at first, very wild re-
gion, but it has settled down a good
deal now. There is, OF course, an occa-
sional shooting, as in all camps. The alti-
tude is about 5000 feet, but it is not very
cold there, for the camps are protected by
high mountains.
THE probability is that Cripple Greek
will produce this year $1,000, 600, and the
entire State SIS, 100000. Colorado was orig
inally gold State, and undoubtedly it is
destined to rank so in future. l lcok for it
to surpass California in gold. Then the
miners, farmers and cattlemen stand to-
gether. There are no fights between them,
as in California. The cattlemen own
mines, the ranchmen do, too, and the
miners, again, buy ranches and get inter
ested in cattle-growing. So they all work
hand in hand. There is no framing of OPP
posing laws.
zone thing that greatly aids Cripple
Creek and all Colorado is the cheap rail-
road rates. There are many roads, COM
petition is strong and the people are aided
in the development of the country. There
is an abundance of coal. Smelling is at a
low rate. There are many advantages
over most other regions. Ore. coal and
coke can be transported cheaply."
Mr.. Everett was one of the organizers of
the California Miners Association here.
He yesterday called on Jacob Webb, w. G.
Ralston and several others of his old
friends They have been much interested
in his story of the condition of things at
Cripple Creek. He has already organized
company here to develop Cripple Greek
properties.
Mr.. Everett left here for the wild camp
OF the Rocky Mountains in 1893.

TO DEATH
Frank Kloss Must Hang for the
Murder Of William
Deadly.
His Motion for a New Trial Finds
Little Favor in the Eyes of
the Court.

The death sentence has been passed on
Frank G. Kloss for the murder of William
Deadly. A motion for q new trial made
upon number of grounds and supple
mented by several affidavits was denied,
and Judge Bahrs sentenced the prisoner
to be hanged.
Among the affidavits presented was one
from Isaac Leipsic in which he repeated
the tale previously published of how he
had believed the verdict he rendered was
for life Imprisonment and not one allow
ing the death penalty. This affidavit was
not allowed on file, as the court held that
Leipsic could not impeach his own verdict.
Fred Frye also had an affidavit telling
how Leipsic had come up to him in the
corridor of the hall and had remarked that
Kloss' life was saved, anyway and how
he, when told the real purport of his
verdict, announced that he had not in
tended to agree to such a result This
affidavit was also thrown out on the
ground that it was based ON hearsay.
DR.. Robbins came forward to tell how he
had treated Kloss after he had been hurt
in the Orpheum Theater, and how he was
of the opinion that no man taking to drink
after such an injury could retain his
sanity. This third affidavit was also ruled
out because the defense had ample time to
call DR.. Robbins to the stand If they had
wanted his testimony.
Then the prisoner got upon his feet and
made long speech assailing the foreman
of the jury and repeating a great deal
which was said by Leipsic-how the fore
man had forced the repentant Juror to sign
an erroneous verdict. and how the entire
jury was preiudiced against him. His ad-
dress to the court awaited him but little,
however, and at its conclusion the motion
was denied and Kloss was sentenced to be
hanged, ~
Kloss' crime was committed April is
last. He entered saloon on Hayes street
one evening, and seeing Deadly asleep near
the door, he said, "I'll wake him up"
and then with an oath he drove cheese
knife into Deady's throat. Deadly bled to
death in a very few minutes, and, Kloss is
now sentenced to die for the crime.
