coLoRADo's GOLD FEVER.
Three Mining Exchanges-F Fortunes Made
and Lost In Day.

Three Mining Exchanges-Fortunes Made
and LOst In u Day.
Colorado is astir over great specu-
cry of gold in Cripple Creek. Colorado
Springs already boasts Of three min
ing exchanges, and excitement is at
fever heat, says the New York Herald
All three exchanges are so busy with
actual orders that one cannot cross the
threshold without fighting for position
Several thousand persons engage In
nothing else from morning to night.
hundred or two hundred thousand
shares are not uncommon for one brok-
er to hurl at another, while for the day
the aggregate of business frequently
scars to 2,000, 900 shares.
The miner who relied on signs for
the presence Of ore around Cripple
Creek invariably got left" while the
farmer and cowboy, with only stock
of confidence and blind luck, stumbled
on the bonanzas that have become
famous throughout the world. w. s.
Stratton, carpenter, three years ago
working for $2 day, is now the CEN
trail figure of the west with his Inde-
pendence, that pays hiIa at the rate Of
$15O,0OO month, without referring to
the adjoining properties that are neg
lected until the time when the owner
finds some way of spending the wealth
that has been lavished upon him.
Then there are James Doyle and James
f. Burns of the Portland. who are
reaping the fruits of industry in pos
session OF a mine that has been ap-
praised at $6,00O,000. Two years ago
both men were operating drills and
shovels for So a day. These are the
notable men In the district who inspire
others with hope of riyaling their
glories from the same source. Such
careers cast halo Of romance around
the occupation of an ordinary miner
and the incentive is so great that the
denizens of the Colorado city are just
beginning to realize the possibilities
Of the new field for speculation.
Auriferous Sand In His Craw.
People are now. digging for gold In
Franklin county Several days ago
Charles McCune found some specks OF
gold in the craw OF a turkey which he
had won at rattle. He sent the gold
to Prof. Orton, the state geologist, who
pronounced 1t gold, but said that some
of the sand from which the gold came
should have been sent along in order
that some conclusion might be formed
as to the presence Of more of the metal
in the same bed The rest of the con-
tents of the craw, however, had been
thrown away and the sand could not

The Negro press Of the south is
divided between Reed and Nc
Kinley. The Allison boom is not
spoken Of in very tlattering term.
Ono exchange stops long to en-
quire "whether Allison has really
and actually taken positive posi-
tion on any public question:" and
adds that his voice has never been
heard for or against any of the
wrongs being perpetrated in the
south against public decency. The
Negroes Of the south will be rep
resented in the national republi.
can convention at St. Louis.

The Negroes Of Georgia in 1880
returned S., ,764, 293 worth Of prop
erty for texation. This year the
amount returned is $12,941, $50.
In other respects they are doing
well. 1t will be noticed that the
taxable property has increased
over SO per cent since 1880. 1t
seems to be right and proper for
the Negroes Of the south to help
defray expenses of the govern
ment without a voice or even
representation in the councils that
expend the money.

Gov. Mckinley in his farewell
message to the Legislature OF Ohio,
took occasion to rebuke the com
munities Of that state in which
the law had been taken out of the
hands of the constitutional author
tiles, and to say a word in opposi-
ton to mob violence and lynch
law generally. The governor OF
Iowa should read the newspapers
in order to find out what is going
on this country, as well as Ar
menia, and then he could expend
few of his patriotic words on the
United States and her long suffer
ing citizens.

CIV Fire at Marlboro.
Jacob and Henry Spitzer's farm house
and contents In Marlboro were burned
the morning of July 2, the fire probably
catching from defective chimney.
They lighted the fire in the kitchen
about B o'clock and went out to do the
chores, when Jacobs wife smelled
smoke and discovered the fire, which
spread so rapidly that very few of the
contents was saved, not even the cloth
ing, and it was with difficulty that the
children were saved. The loss is esti-
mated at 81, 200, and the insurance was
$3.50 in the Union Mutual, and has been
and paid through the agency of Childs
Il Co.
