DENVER, Dec. 3.-The splendid career
of Cripple Creek may be repeated and
possibly eclipsed by West Creek, which
is within so miles of Denver, and d.
most in sight Of the dome Of the capitol.
The greatest activity prevails among
the miners and prospectors and town
site boomers. There are now several
hundred assessments worked and the
surveying of claims has just begun.
There will probably be several thousand
claims surveyed and recorded before
spring. The miners claim the mineral
is richer than that at Cripple Creek on
the surface. 1t is lodged in clearly de.
fined veins and can be easily traced.
While the entire country is covered
with q thick growth of magnificent
timber, the drift is shallow and does
not operate as a barrier to the discovery
of leads as in many other camps. The
accessibility Of the camp is certain to

According to the new census returns

According to the new census returns
OF South Daksta, although the state as a
whole has gained in population, there
have been losses and the returns show
that these have occurred in the counties
along the Missouri and Jim rivers. The
exception to this is in the southern
counties all of which gained. But along
the Missouri from aud including Charles
Mix TO Potter, there was a loss, and the
counties of the Jim valley from Sanborn
to the north line of the state all show a
falling off in population. With the ex.
ception OF the counties Of Mcpherson,
Walworth and Campbell, all the counties
of the state from the Jim river to the
of population while the counties along
the eastern border, and along the Mis-
souri, on the south, show IA gain. In the
Black Hills section, all the counties but
Lawrence and Butte show "a loss, these
two being the only ones in which q gain
is shown IN that part Of the state. Min
nehaha county has the highest number
of inhabitants to the square mile with a
fraction over "a. While Or the face Of
the returns Armstrong has the fewest
number of white residents with one to
about every seven townships.
