"A company has undertaken to do

Colorado City and run in southern

beyond Independence and Victor. 1t

leave the main tunnel at a point un.

Prefers the Gun.

The writer visited Gilt Edge for the
first time last week, examined her
mill and machinery, which was an
enigma to him, although familiar
with free gold milling, heard Samuel
L. Putnam deliver one of his mimi
cal free thought lectures, heard his
Grafton the Fourth on the causes
which led to the separation of the
American colonies from the mother
country, the principles on which our
government is founded and our
duties in relation thereto, which
should have been heard by every
voter. He also saw a crowd of well
dressed and well behaved men and
women accompanied by more than
an average proportion of well
dressed and good looking children,
also saw large ballroom filled
with well dressed and well behaved
men and women. The music and
dancing was very good. Sofargood.
He also saw oddly and sparcely
dressed men throwing, hitting, catch
ih6 vi ditti a pdh
der a burning sun. This appeared to
be "a waste of time, strength and
muscle and by some that are not SO
fast in using it in useful employment.
AS a celebration, the appearance of
those present, the Grafton and the
ball, it was a success, but there it
ends. The drinking and the fighting
about the saloons was disgrace to
our civilization. Experience on the
frontier has led the writer to prefer
the gun in such cases to the clubs.
chairs, boot-toes, beer bottles and
tumblers. The death of two or three
such fellows, who are generally cow
ards when confronted with n revol-
yer and hardly worth preserving.
soon makes a civil crowd out of a
drunken mob, and as a general rule
where the gun is used there are fewer
brawls. The writer prefers tn
gun as an instrument of civilization.

MExIcO'S IRON FOUNTAIN.
| 1t is Estimated to Contain Over q 1iiiIon Cubic
Feet of Ore.

Within the corporate limits of the
city of Duran go, Mexico. is a noun
tain of solid iron ore. The mountain
is one mile long, 3SS yards wide, and
$40 feet high, and represents a total
Of DAG, ,9S4 ,2H cubic feet of ore. This
supply all the foundries of Great
Britain with ore $50 years, and the
value Of the metal so obtainad would
be nearly ten billions of dollars.
Besides the ore exposed on the sur
iece, there are reundoubtedly beds eX-
tending for thousands of feet below,
so that the supply of iron that may
be obtained i'm this mountain may
fairly be said to be inexhaustible.
The ore is i'm the form OF the ses-
quioxide of iron, called martite, a
mineral having the form OF magnet
ite, but the composition of hematite.
From it may he obtained from 60 tC
| 40 per cent. of the pure metal. The
mountain is surrounded by beds o
jasper and quartz-bearing rocks not
unlike those out of which the IrOI
Mountain of Missouri rises. Whether
the mass is eruptive or has been de
dosited by chalybeate waters is :
question which geologists have ye'
to settle.
The mountain is called Cerro de
Mercado, or Hill of Mercado, in hon
or Ginis Vasquez del Mercado, ;
Spaniard who came to it in 1Jti2, le,
by the report that it was "a noun
tain of silver. Till within "A few
years the ore has been worked onl
by local artisans, who sold the meta
which they made for thirty-five cent

With the advent of the railroad t.
Durango, a million-dollars smelter ha
been erected near the mountain. an

(Revised and brought down to date.)
Maud Muller on "a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
OF large red freckles and first-rate health
Singing, she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from town
Upon the hill-slope coasting down.
The sweet song died. and IA vague unrest
And a sort of terror filled her breast
fear that she hardly dared to own.
For what if her wheel should strike "A stone
The Judge seorehed swiftly down the road
Just then she heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
Of the apple trees to await the maid,
| And he asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
! She left her wheel. with IA sprightly Jump
| And in less than iiffy had produced her
pump.
And she blushed as she gave it, looking
down
At her feet, once hid by "a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge, as he pumped away,
'Tis very fine weather we're having to-
day"
He spoke OF the grass and flowers and
trees;
OF twenty mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over bIoomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed alack- a day,
| The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighgd, "Ah mel
That the Judges bride might be,
my father should have "A brand new wheel
OF the costliest make and the finest steel.
And I'd give one to ma of the same design,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back as he climbed the
| hill,
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"a prettier face and n form more fair
I've seldom gazed at. / declared
Would she were mine. and today
Could make her put those bloomers awayp
But he thought of his sisters, proud and
cold,
And shuddered to think how they would
scold
IL he should. one of these afternoons,
Come home with bride in pantaloons!
He ma rried a wife OF richest dover.
Who had never succumbed to the bloomers
power;
Yet, oft while watching the smoke wreath
curl
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
OF the way she stood there, pigeon-toed.
, While he was pumping beside the road.
She married "a man who clerked in "a store
And many children played round her door
All. then her hloomers brought her Joy,
She cut them down for her Oldest boy.
) But still of the Judge she often thought,
| And sighed DER the loss that her bloomer
Il wrought,
Or wondered IL wearing them was a sin.
, Aud then confessed: 1T might hav
been"
e Alas for the Judge! Alas for the maid
, Dreams were their only stock in trade.
: For all wise words of tongue or pen,
The wisest these: Leave pants 70
menl"
Ah, well, For US all hope still remains
, For the bloomer girl and the man of brains
: And, in the hereafter, bloomers may
Be not allowed to block the way!

Z CINCINNATI, O.. Oct. IA special
to the Times-Star from Lexington, KY,
says: 1T Is stated here to-day on what
seems to be reliable information that
State Senator Charles j. Bronston, md
the ex-chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, John D. Car
roll. are on the verge of duel. The
trouble grew out Of the late Frankfort
convention. when Carroll caused Brons-
toms defeat by throwing his strength to
Evan E. Settle, OF Owen county. It
seems that Bronston had counted on
Carroll to nominate him. and was mad
when his opponent was benefited by the
withdrawal of the Henry county man.
The report says that Bronston cursed
Carroll roundly and that Carroll cody
told him to think over the remarks and
apologize. Bronston proposed to settle
them In a personal encounter. but Car
roll refused and told him that he should
have time to take back his objectiona-
BILE language.
Letters have passed between them,
but 1t is stated by those close to Brons-
ton tina. he does not intend to retract
what he said, and they see no way out of
the trouble except In accordance with
the code adopted in settling such griev-
ances. Both are brave men, and IL the
field Is resorted to as the only. way of
settling the matter, 1t is believed each

Jennings Bryan began early this morn
Ing on his actual work for this weeks
campaign. The special Idler was pull
cd out OF Minneapolis with the Bryan
party aboard Mt s o'clock and,in short
time the citizens OF the small towns on
the Northern Pacific road between tho
twin cities, and Duluth, were listening
to silver doctrine as preached by the
standard bearer of that principle.
Shortly after 0 o'clock the little city
Of Anoka was reached and Mr.. Bryan
defined the Democratic platform as
much as possible In three minute
speech. He told the several hundred
people who gathered about the car step
that he believed In that platform from
one end OF 1t to the other. A similar
stop was made ut Elk river and at
that place many OF those gathered
about the depot did not hesitate to ex-
press their preference for the Republic
can nominee. A bunch of Mex inleyltes
had assembled at one end Of the depot
platform and checred long, loud and
for the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Bryan spoke from n stand erect
ed few feet from the railroad tracks
and made one of his usual two minute
speeches. A majority OF the crowd
cheered him. and seemed to try to over
come the demonstration OF their polit-.
ical opponents.
AT the little station OF Big Lake,a few
farmers welcomed the nominee. A flag
OF large proportions and OF home make,
with a shovel handle as the STAFF. was
waved enthusiastically in front of Mr..
Bryan by an excited stalwart farmer
as the nominee spoke. Mr.. Bryan said
this country was large enough to at
tend to Its business and that he did not.
believe foreign financial policy. should
be tolerated.
