Colorado Farm Products.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 20.--The News pub
fishes reports from all parts of Colorado
showing the condition of crops in this
state. Generally the situation is extreme
ly favorable.
In the San Luis valley the great grain
fields are whitening for the harvest and
the crop will be the largest ever gather
ed. Good judges estimate the crop in
that district alone at 100000 bushels
each of wheat ana oats, 1000 cars of
potatoes, and the same number of hay.
From Rifle, Oh the Grand river in the
western part of the state, the yield of
alfalfa, oats, wheat and barley is reported
as unusually large, white potatoes were
never better, and fruit trees, except pears,
are bending to the ground.
Rocky Ford reports crops in the south
eastern part of the state as remarkably
large. The production of corn will ex-
ceed all records. Almost as much can be
said for fruits, melons, wheat and oats.
The only dismal reports of the entire
state come from Julesburg, in the ex-
treme northeastern corner, where only
potatoes and hay have done we'll.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Admiral Kirk

for Havre, France, and it is possible the
cruiser may continue on to the Mediter-
ranean, though it has besn thought by
officials here that the Merblehead would
be considered sufficient to protect Amer
lean interests there.

BLAND BREVITIES.
What Is Being Done at the Bustling
Metropolis of the Cochiti
Mining District.

Bland would be good market at
present for forty or fifty good burros.
A test run is being made at the Beck
man mill on ore from the Little Mollie
mine.
The Lone Star mine has shipped two
cars of high grade ore 20 Pueblo this
week, and will ship two cars next week.
Very hattering reports come from Pc
ralta canon. Some of the claims being
worked there are showing fine veins of
quartz, giving good assay returns.
Until further notice A.. Horne's stage
line will carry passengers from Thornton
to Bland for 81; round trip, $1.50; ex-
press 4 cent per pound.
E. Beckman & Co. are contem plating
filling said store with general stock of
merchandise.
Jas. May returned from trip to Col
den, San Pedro and Albuquerque this
morning, where he has been prospecting
for the past six weeks.
Work has been resumed on the Black
Girl mine and will be pushed with vigor.
A night shift will be put on next week
and the shaft which is now in good ore
will be sunk as fast as possible. All ore
taken out goes to the Beckman mill for
treatment.
The Good Hope mine which has been
idle for some time resumed work this
week. chute about 300 feet long will
be built to convey the ore to the wagon
road The shaft will be sunk to depth
of 100 feet and drift run to connect with
lower tunnel.
The fact that the Beckman mill is sue
cessfuly treating the Cochiti ores seems
to have given new life to the camp.
The L. Beckman mill has been running
day and night, putting through about
twenty-five tons of ore every twentyfour
hours, to the great satisfaction of all who
are concerned. Messrs. Greenwood &
Bletcher are highly elated over the result
and If the cyanide process is a success,
there is great future awaiting Bland.
There is rumor of another stamp mill
being erected at Bland. 1t is known
fact that the mill at present operating
can not treat half the ore that either the
Lone Star or Crown Point can furnish,
without greatly increasing its capacity.
Preparations are being made to resume
work on the Bland tunnel some time this
month. We understand the company in
tends putting in air drills and pushing
the tunnel as fast as possible until the
great Washington lead is tapped, which
will be at depth of 1000 feet. After
this point is reached this enterprise will
without doubt pay good dividends to the
ockholders.-BlandH Herald.

Springfield, Ohio, Aug. 2O.-The Dem
ocratic state convention which opens to.
morrow has attracted crowds of people to
Springfield.
HOW 1T STANDS.
Since the selection of delegates in the
different counties it IS evident that there
will be close fight between the free sill
YER men and their opponents on the finan-
cial plank of the platform. The free
silver men control the state executive
committee, of which A. W. Thurman is
state central committee, of which NJ. A.
Smalley is chairman.
The free silver men claim that the re-
turns from the late county conventions
show that they have majority of the
delegates, but this is not conceded by
the Brice men, who certainly have the
better organization.
1t IS conceded that there will be hot
fight for members of the committee on
resolutions and for places on other COM
mittees.
BR1oE MAKING THE rIaHT OF HIS L1rE.
The district caucusses and other pre-
liminaries of the Democrat state con-
vention were held here to-day, prepara-
tory to the assembling of the convention
at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Senator Brice is making the fight of
his life for platform in harmony with
the views of President Cleveland. He is
not taking an aggressive part over the
nominations. He is believed to have q
ma ority of the SOS delegates, but the
free silver men claim 304 delegates,
enough to make trouble if no concession
is made to them. To-day Senator Brice,
ex-Gov. Campbell and other leaders dined
with John Il. Thomas, and it is under
stood that compromise was outlined.
Senator Brice is to be temporary chair.

sure to be for "honest money" without
regard to the outcome of the fight to-
night for the organization of the CON
vention.
FIRM STAND OF SILVER MEN.
| Just before Senator Brice arrived at II
a. M, the city WAS flooded with dodgers
bearing the following resolution adopted
at meeting of the silver delegates: "W.
favor the immediate restoration of tht
Law providing for the free coinage of bott
gold and silver coin and their use without
discrimination, as provided for in th'
| constitution"
| The silver men assured Senator Brict
that they had no fight on him and that al
they wanted was this plank. The senator

Gov. Campbell, at noon, Campbell badger
were distributed broadcast in anticipR
tion of his nomination. All the Leaders

4 EhiioIn Pest Turaed TO Coed Account
BY Paper Manufacturer.
The sunaower grows all over this
state very luxuFiantly, and the
great fields Of these plants are seen
through the summer, forming beautiful
seas of gold when in bloom. They have
been the bane Of the farmer, as they
take possession Of every uncuItiyated
field and wave their yellow medsllions
from the tops Of eight and 19-foOt
stalks for six months in the year. The
difficulty has been TO get rid of these
stalks when clearing the field for spring
crops, as it was thought they we're use
less. At last a use was found for them.
The president Of paper mill in SaIina
had difficulty in procuring straw with
which to make paper. He looked UPON
the acres of sunfoWers that grace the
bottom land of the Smoky Hill river,
and went to experimenting. With a
fiat iron and hammer he pounded up
the stalks and decided that the pulp
would do. He arranged at once for
trial OF the stalks in lieu of straw at
his mill, and the results surprised not
only those who witnessed the exDeri-
ments, but himself as well. The fibre
proved to be better than that of straw
and produced better paper, as the
toughness enabled them to make a
larger amount Of paper from given
amount Of pulp. The gummy substance
that destroys SO much paper at the
press rolls is absent, and the sheets
run through driers and finishing cal
anders without sticking or tearing.
The entire stalk of the sunhower is
used, and the small cost of the raw ma
terial, being merely that of gathering
promised to make a new manufacture
profitable. The mill is now turning out
the unique product steadily and others
will soon take it up. Thus far only
express and hardware papers are being
manufactured regularly, though suffi-
cient paper Of a better quality was
made to print The Daily Republican of
Sailna on the day of the trial, Oct. q,
1873. Kansas seems to be only Just
learning the extent Of her resources.
The seed of the sunfower given to
chickens in the winter answers as we'll
as animal food for them, and helps to
produce eggs early in the season when
fresh ones are scarce, so profitable in
every market. The young fiower-cups
when taken before the seeds are formed
and dressed like artichokes, are very
palatable. One species, the H. tuberosa
a tall, wild plant, known as the Jerusa-
lem artichoke, is also useful plant
when cultivated so as to increase the
size Of the tubers. They give a whole
some vegetable, and will prosper where
potatoes fail and make a good sub
stitute. Thus it will be seen that the
sunfoWer is one Of the most valuable
crops the farmer can raise on his waste
land, as it will grow where other crops
fall.

CoNQUE8T8 OF SILENCE.
Washington, Jefferson and Napoleon Were
Very Poor Speakers.

Washington, Jefferson and Napoleon Were
Very Poor Speakers.
Washington never made a speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed and gave it up, con-
fused and abashed. In framing the
constitution of the United States the
labor was almost wholly performed in
committee of the whole, of which
George Washington was, day after day.
chairman, and he made but two
speeches during the convention, of a
very few words each, something like
one Of Grants speeches. The c0nven-
ton, however, acknowledged the mas
ter spirit, and historians affirm that
had it not been for his personal popu-
larity and the 30 words of his first
speech, prOnOuncing it the best that
could be united upon, the constitution
would have been rejected by the peo-
pie.
Thomas Jefferson never made a
speech. He couldn't do it.
Napoleon, whose executive ability is
almost without parallel, said that his
difficulty was in finding men of deeds
rather than words. When asked how
he maintained his influence upon his
supeTiOrs in age and experience when
commander in chief of the army in
Italy, he said: "By reserve" The
greatness of a man is not measured by
the length of his speeches and their
numbers.
