A Display of Reliable Wash Silks.

Ladies who do nice embroidery want their work to be lasting.
 There is nothing much more provok- ing than to spend many days perhaps weeks, on a piecIe of work and then find it worthless after washing, because the silks were inferior quality and colors not fast.
 Experienced embroiderers every where, who have tried all kinds, are agreed that Brainerd x Armstrongs wash silks can always be depended on. These silks have been i'm constant use by the leading societies of art, and the most experienced embroiderers for many years, and have always proved to be exactly as represented.
 There is at present being conducted in this city by Miss Camp, at No. 14G Orange street, a very interesting dis play of the $50 or more shades in which the Brainerd & Armstrong Silk Com pany is now dyeing their wash em- broidery silks.

COLORADO'S MINING BOOM.
Six Hundred Companies Organized to Ope-
 rate in the Cripple Creek District.

Denver, Nov. 2S-Two weeks ago speculation in the mining stocks of Cripple Creek companies was confined to Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek. The brokers in the former city had for some time been advertising the gold stocks of the camp throughout the country, but sales were confined to El Paso county. The Denver Mining ex- change was dragging along with little life.
 To-day the change is marked. Over fifty brokers were shouting about the pit at midday, great crowds of specta- tors witnessing the call of stocks and the entire state has become greatly aroused over the subject of stock spec ulations. The real estate exchange will call stocks next week.
 Down in Colorado Springs three ex- changes are doing a great business; one was started in Pueblo on Monday, one exists in Cripple Creek and one will be opened in few days in Victor. Brokers in eastern cities are seeking to be placed in telegraphic communica- ton with the Cripple Creek quotations by daily wire reports, and inquiries from all over the country and from Europe indicate that a sudden interest in Colorado gold mines has been awak- ened
 Nearly all of the trading yesterday was done in Cripple Creek stocks. They may be placed generally in three class es: Companies paying dividends or shipping ore, companies energetically developing mines in favorable locations and companies formed within the past few weeks mainly to sell stock based upon unpatented and undeveloped min ing claims. The buying orders for the Colorado stock are heavy, trading in stocks of prospective value was good and but little high priced stocks could be purchased. More that 1,500, 900 shares were sold in the six exchanges yesterday. Of the high priced stocks the Isabella was most in demand. though but little was offered at an ad- vance of cents over yesterdays quota tions.
 About seventy-five different stocks are now called on the exchanges, and many companies are asking to be listed. New companies are incorporating daily. and there are now over 500 companies incorporated to perat in the Cripple Creek district.
