A miner says that fl the Eastern people knew how rosy and bright the outlook throughout the wild and woody West is, the people footloose enough to take Greeiey's advise would be falling over each other in their hurry to reach the R Ickie-, Sierra Nevadas and Cascades. All over the West come reports Of a revival in mining, says the Mining Review, the resurrec- ton of districts long supposed 10 be dead and forgotten, and the opening of new regions hitherto supposed to be barren. The great mother lode O! Cal ifornia is receiving sn attention by in- vestors never gwen it before; in Utah the Mercur districtis creating boom and steadily adding . population that is a genuine surprise to the conserva- tive old residents; the Trail Creek re- zion Of British Columbia is awkening up the sleepy old Csnadians to realize golden dreams Arizona is now com manding attention, new strikes being made and in Colorado there is . reyiv- al and activitythat astonishes the most sanguine and paralyzes the crosker. Cripple Greek is coming up to expecta- tion. The old reliable San Juan is preparing for an active summer Leadville is developing e gold belt that is to be a wo.ld beater; and re, ports from all over shows that the miner is at work in apractical method si reieeming the Union from the wreck and ruin of . false, unwise, mis- guided, abortive financial policy.

Wonderful Cripple Creek.

Cripple Creek is the most wonder ful gold camp in America and probsb- ly in the world. It is actually pro- ducing s1 .OOO, 900 per month in gold while five years ago there was not such . place on the map of Colorado.
 It is hard to believe the most con- servative and reliable statements about this most wonderful gold camp. For instance. The postoffice department of Cripple Creek shows by its last quarterly report that it is handling more letters, money packages and re- gistered letters and doing . larger business than any postofice in the state outside of Denver, while the monthly reports of the last three months of the Colorado Telephone company shows that Cripple Creek is doing the Isrfest business in the state with the exception of Denver.
 There are now two railroads running into Cripple Crsek-The Florence and Cripple Greek, ard the Midland Ter minal-both of which have teen obliged to put on two extra trains Tor the accommodation of passengers in the last two weeks. A new short line railroad has been surveyed. Rooms gre being engaged weeks in advance Blankets, cots end beds are at . pre- mium nightly.
 There are ct least 5000 to 4O,OOO rsople iu tho Cripple Creek mining district, which is about five miles square. Everything is running wide open. Gambling of every kind aud nature is not hidden or obstructsd from the view of the passsr-by. Dance halls, saloons, gambling houses and variety theaters reap . rich hsrvest such e never before in the west, with the possible exception of the early days of Lesdville.
