The Omaha Bee says: "A number Of
Omahans have gone to Cripple Creek to
gain fortune in a day. They will soon
return, wiser, If poorer, men. Reports
from that great gold district are to the
effect that people are focking in from
all parts of TIE country and that want
and distress already stare many in the
face. An Omaha business man has just
returned from the diggings. He pre-
diets great hardships and suffering for
ninety and nine who rush in blindly
without the requisite means of subsist-
ence. Omaha is not booming. but des-

Demands for Mica.

The remarkably rapid demand for
mica as the progress in electrical appar-
atus to develop energy for driving ma
chinery advances, the impetus given to
the mica industry is equally as progress
sive and promising. To give partial
knowledge of what the development of
electrical machinery means to the indus
try Of mica mining We need only to cite
the requirements of those street car
companies Of st. Louis, Mo-, who are
using electricity for motive power.
The Suburban Street Car Company
employs / 400 electrical cars daily and
consume upon an average Of SIC worth
Of mica per car yearly, making total
outlay for this mineral of S22,400. The
Lundall company runs 1890 electrical
cars daily with the same consumption
of mica per car, or $2s.sOO for the year,
The Union Depot line runs 1900 cars
each day, paying out for the year $25, ,600
for mica. This amount is exclusive OF
the mica used in the power houses OF
1
the three companies and the electrical
light plants all over the city, together
with other subordinate car lines in diff
ferent parts of the city, which would
sum up to at least $780, 900 each year in
st. Louis alone.
Nowhere in the United Suites is the
outlook for the production Of practically
unlimited quantities of mica mora for
cibly apparent than in Custer county
South Dakota. Hundreds Of granite
reefs in that district that exposes books
Of mica ofs quality and quantity, and
Of such commercial importance that II

The democratic party have achieved
reputation for borrowing money in
time Of peace which fairly eclipses that
of any other political party in the his
tory Of this, or perhaps any other coun-
try. During its administration imme
diately preceding the war of the re-
belion it had to borrow money to meet
current expenses. and during the pres.
ent administration it has been obliged
to do the same thing. No other party
administration ever borrowed dollar
for such purposes in time of profound
peace. This part OF the record is not
especially valuable for democratic cam
paign purposes.

Gratis do not hold their convention in

Another bear hunt was taken last
week. One of the boys went over to
South River for hunters and dogs and
twelve or fourteen men and thirteen or
fourteen dogs we're on hand the next
morning ready for the hunt. OFF they
went. They struck a track and followed
it all day only to find they were on the
track of two boys who wero ont rabbit
hunting the day before. Que Of the
party vhe had been badly crippled with
rheumatism for some time, was the first
and most active man in the hunt, not a
pain being left. Boys be sure and get On
the right track next time.
