Life at Cripple Creek.

from Chicago Tmes-Herald letter.
CRIPPLE Creek is a district rather than
a town site. 1t lies around and over
four or five hills. 1t rests geologically
upon granite. with an upthrust and
overflow of porphyry. The gold is
mainly found in porphyritic rock and
in well-defined limits. Within these
limits the mines are very rich, running
from to 40 ounces to the ton. Nearly
all the rock in this district shows gold,
but it does not pay to work under one
ounce to the ton, unless it accompanies
side by side higher grade ore.
The town at night swarms with peo-
pit, but l saw little drunkenness and no
disturbance. 1 was surprised to find
the camp mainly American. Unlike
mining towns and lumber camps, it is
made up Of adventurous young Ameri-
cans-types familiar to me from boy

RED BLOOMERS rs. RELfGToN,

Bloomers are blooming in many parts
of this blooming land, but nowhere are
they blooming and nowhere have they
bloomed as conspicuously as they did
in the Methodist Westinghouse in Ma
son, Ohio, the other evening. Then and
there there was. sight which caused
the good Methodist sisters who do not
wear boomers to say "Oh N.Y." "Mer-
cy on usr och, the dreadful" ETC.,
ETC., and caused the good Methodist
brethren to try to shut their eyes in
order not to see that which Miss Cole
man, the organist of the church, flaunt-
ed before their reluctant and yet fas-
cinated gaze. Miss Coleman is up to
date. She wears bloomers, and red
bloomers too. She isn't ashamed to
wear them, for she is so constructed
| that she can make boomers look well,
and she enjoys making the populace
| look at her. She has cavorted around
the town of Mason for some time in red
glory and having caused all the sensa-
ton she could in that way she took 1t
| into her head to give her good Metho-
1 dist friends real STARTER. So the
| other evening, when there was a large
| attendance at the weekly prayer meet
| ing, she waited until verybody there
was wondering where the organist was,
and then she pranced down the middle
aisle like queen, clad in natural roy
atty and red boomers. The minister
was in his pulpit, and acted just as a
minister would be obliged to act If a
peacock or pig should come walking
down the middle aisle in the middle of
a meeting. He never winked, and made
as If he saw nothing unusual. Miss
Coleman acted as if there were nothing
unusual to see. She took her seat at
| the organ and played and sang
with vigor and accuracy. But
though she and the minister were
equal to the occasion many
of the others present were less com
posed. Indeed, they were decidedly dis
composed. So much so that they felt
that the prayer meeting could not be a
success while their eyes and minds were
fastened on those red boomers. So one
| by one they left the room, until the
man was not broken UP or down. When
she got good and ready she left her seat
mounted her bicycle which she had left
at the meeting house door and rode
as she had played the organ.
Nobody knows yet what will happen
to Miss Coleman. She is the daughter
of a rich man, and it is evident that she
has something in her own right. Sc
she can afford to wear red boomers il
meeting if anybody can. But can any,
body? Can prayer and praise ever b.
reconciled with red boomers, and car
growth in grace ever go on under the
influence thereof? Is not woman who

The scarfs are of soft chiffon or lace,

Cooperation has been remarkably
successful in England. The first socie-
ty for cooperative distribution in Eng
land originated at Rockdale in 1914, and
started with a capital of $40, raised by
assessments upon it's members Of to 3
pence week. One of them went to
Manchester and bought at wholesale a
stock of flour, sugar, butter and oat-
meal, from which each member bought
as he required at current prices, and
the profit resulting was distributed an
nually among the buyers according
to the amounts of their purchases. The
first year they amounted to $3.50, the
second to $500 and the third to $500,
showing successful operation from the
beginning. On the fiftieth year of it's
institution it signalized the event by a
gift of $1,000 to the Rockdale Infirmary.
The example it set was followed else
where, and there are now LOO co-opera-
tive societies in England, with 100000
members, an aggregate capital of $780,
Oo0 1000, an annual business of $3.50, 1000, 900,
and annual profits of S23, $780, 600. In 1867
the united societies formed a central
one and established wholesale store
in Manchester and another in Glasgow,
the business of which now exceeds $780,

Electrical experiments that promise
much for the prosperity and develop
ment of mining in the West are being
made in Nevada county, California. A
large part in the mining industry of
that region has been suspended during
recent years because Of the great diff
Guilty and cost of securing power to run
the machinery. With steam or direct
water power the cost is from $3.50 to
$500 horse power year. The attempt
is to be made to generate cleo
Hricity by water power at CON
siderable distance from the mines and
Ito transfer the power to the mines by
wire. Two $50 horse power generators
are being put In at a point on the
Yuba river, seven miles above Grass
valley, and the power will be trans
ferred this distance to run the mining
machinery. The engineers believe power
can be supplied in this way for $1O0 a
horse power at the most If the scheme
is successful very many similar plants
will be built to utilize water power
now going to waste in that region, and
the system will undoubtedly be adopted
all over the West.

IA bulletin from the Agricultural de-
partr1ent shows that the area under
vineyard cultivation in France has been
gradually decreasing during the twenty
years 1S75-1S94. This is mainly due to
the abandonment of vineyards in dis
tricts where the ravages of the phyl-
loxera have made wine-growing I'M
profitable. There has been remarka-
BILE falling off in the production Of wine
during the period 1879 to 1892 inclusive,
but the good effect of restocking af-
fected vineyards with American vines
became apparent in 1894 when the pro-
duction again arose to 1850, 100000 gal
Ions, which exceeds the average pro-
duction during the ten years 1884, SO
by 2Ss, 100000. Since 1880 the imports Of
wine into France have been largely in
excess Of the exports, and the home
consumption of wine is enormous.
