A Mining Boom.

Last Sundays Denver Republican

lowing Introductory
mo student of affairs who watches
the course of events in Colorado can
help but see that the present year will
mark permenant advance in the min
ing business. The activity being dis
played in all parts of the state where
gold has ever been mined allows no
have awakened to the fact that mining
is the most promising field for energy
presented, and that il followed with
Judgment and care it can be made as
safe and legitimate as any line of busi-
ness.
More Denver men are talking mines
and dipping into mining than at any
previous time in the history of the state.
They are not all organizing great COM
panies and combining large sums Of
money, but are looking after tile small
things that in husber times were passed
over as unworthy Of notice, and study
ng to find how little money can be en-
ployed to put proposition into pay
Men who served their apprenticeship in
the hills years ago are hunting the maps
and geological charts to find the field
where they may enter and resume the
hunt for mines. The younger element
has recruited the ranks Of the prospec-
tors and will take to the hills in large
numbers when the snow goes.
Early signs Of the coming rush can be
seen in the starting up of old mines in
camps half forgotten, but that were
prominent in the minds of all. st. Elmo,
the London, the Almo and Fairplay
properties, the Holy Cross, Buena Vista,

longer be left to quietly grind out their

yield up their stores for the many. The
same might be said Of dozen other

One Of the favorite modes of robbery
indulged in by the late chiefs of depart
ments in the Colorado state government
was that of drawing large salaries for
subordinates and paving them half Of
the amount drawn, the other half being
retained by the said chiefs. This new
species of robbery was literally prac-
ticed in the secretary Of states office,
in the attorney generals Office, super
intendent's Office, the game warden's
Office, and the treasurer stood in with
the warrant shayers. A fine lot of re-
formers!

CAPTURED BY GOMEZ.
The Spanish Troops Near Puerto
Principe Surrender.

The most serious news of Spanish dis
aster received since the outbreak of the re-
bellion reached Havana last evening. The
garrisops of two towns have surrendered
and the places themselves have been burn
cd 10y Maxine Gomez. Firing was heard
constantly around Puerto Principe Tuesday
night, and extraordinary precautions are
being taken to protect that city.
Owing to the restrictions placed by the
government upon the transmission of tele-
graphic nsws concerning the Instruction
only the most meager details of the dis
aSter to the Spanish arms are obtalnaDle.
1t appears certain, however, that the gar
rison at Ell NIulato, in the province of
Puerto Principe and capital of the prov
ince, has surrendered TO Maxine Gomez.
The garrison was charge of Lieut.. Romero
and was quartered in strong fort. The
place was also provsioned and contained
a considerable stock of ammunition.
During the unexplained absence of Lieut..
Romero. the fort was surrounded by about
1000 insurgents under the command of
MaXimo Gomsz. The latter sent q message
tC the garrison Of Ell Mulato announcing
in which TO surrender, with the alternative
of being fired upon, by the full insurgent
force if they refused to do so.
The soldiers were willing to fight and
were preparing TO do when Lieut.. Ro-
nero arrived at the fort and his presence
being made known to Maxine Gomez. the
latter sent him q second note, saying the
insurgents had no desire to shed blood I'M
necessarily anu. therefore the lieutenant
was given five minutes more in which to
surrender the fort and its contents to the
insurgents.
Thereupon, the lieutenant surrendered
the garrison against the desire of his SOL
diers, who were indignant at being COM
PEELED to capituate without firing shot.
When the garrison was in the hands of
the insurgents Maxine Gomez ordered the
village of Ell Mulato to be burned, and af-
ter depriving Lieut.. Romero of his arms
set him at liberty. The lieutenant was
afterward arrested by the authorities of
Puerto Principe and it is thought probable
that he will be promptly tried by court
martial and shot.
The town of San Geronimo also surren-
dered with its garrison of about fifty men.
The city of Puerto Principe is also in
vested by the insurgents.
