uOLgs AT cRIPpLE CREEK.

All hail TO the promised land OF Grip
Ile Creek, where gold seems TO flow like
water. All Colorado is naturally gone
half crazy over the geld Developments.
We hear no more from the silver sonti-
meut. Missionary effort IN the East is
now devoted 10 selling stock for the de-
velopment of gold mines, real, prosrec-
tive or only on paper.
Undoubtedly there are lots OF holes in
the ground in and about Cripple Creek at
the bottom of which no gold viii be
found. The gold mines in Colorado are
numerous and rich, but beside them the
gold mines that are only on paper will
be as forest leaves to pint OF peanuts.
"Mining exchanges" ore developing in
Colorado somew hat faster han the mines
themselves, though perhaps no faster than
the holes in the ground. Already it is
plain that the exchanges cannot get
enough stock IN companies OF any stand
ing to I'LL the orders OF investors and
speculators in this country and abroad.
! The deals on one exchange alone were re-

shares in one week, while the amount OF
all the stocks on the market that are ex-
changeable cannot be over two or three
times that amount. This is evidence of
| lively trading in gold stocks at small
margins. The temptation, in view OF the
tremendous demand, is inevitably to re-
spond with anything in tho shape OF .
mining stock to satisfy the greedy in-
vestors. New corporations are sprmging
up over night. Holes in the ground are
being dug wherever anything resembling
mineral is trsceable or in the neighbor-
hood of paying properties. Few OF all the
corporations and the holes III the ground
arc yet shippers, and many OF them are
not even likely to be. The mines that
arc actually shipping the precious metal
have little stock TO sell, and most of those
that are being developed" with

investors will never develop apyth ing

Investors are buying right and left and
are seemingly regardless OF the facts and
figures that govern bona fide mining
operations.
Cripple Creek is great country, just
now, but the Eastern investor would bet
ter be cautious.
Our hustling Western friends have COB
bled up lot OF Eastern money by one
scheme or another the past ten years.
And holes in the ground are capable OF
swallowing a lot more with only a re.
mote chance OF ever rendering an ac-

New York, Sept. 1.-THE stock mar
l1et presented a somewhat ragged APP
pearance at intervals to-day and the
bears succeeded in making a decided
impression upon prices, owing chiefly to
further break in wheat and corn, the

formation concerning the intentions of
the Belmont Morgan bond syndicate
with reference to making good the inn
pairment of the treasury gold reserve.
The fact that London turned up as a
seller again to-day, coupled with a sud
den decline of per cent. in the new

comment about the probability of anew
bond issue, contributed to the weakness
of the market. The bears operated

Ar THE HOSPITAL.
Mrs. .Inhnson Gettlng Rotor.

Mrs. Olaf Johnson, who was taken
to the hospital a few days ago suffer
ing, as it was thought from hydropho-
hia, is now getting along nicely, the
violent stage having been passed and
the Inflammation in the bite ON the arm
having to great extent subsidized. The
physicians at the hospital said last
evening that it was not surprising that
certain physicians thought the lady
had hypdrophobia, as the symptoms
were almost exactly the same. Three
cases of simulated hydrophobia have
been received at the hospital during
the last year, Mrs, Johnson will be
so improved as to leave the hospital in
few days, If no complications set in.
