the grazing lands of this region, but
up to this time no one had considered
the rock to be worth much.
AS Stratton walked ever the roads he
noticed one stone, the corner of which
some former prospector had Clipped
off. He picked up the broken piece and
sent it to Denver to be assayed. 1t
yielded over $500 to the ton. This was a
surprise to Stratton. He at once gath
cred wagon load of other stones lying
about the place and sent these to the
assayer's. They told him that the last
was worth only $40 a. ton. This, how
ever. showed Stratton that there was
gold there. and he staked out claim
about the big boulder, and went to
work. 1t was the Fourth Of July when
he began to mine, and he named his
property 1.-THE Independence" in honor
of the day. He found gold almost from
the grass rots. The ore grew richer as
he dug down, and, after a short time
he found pockets and assures filled
with gold. The gold did not run reg
ularly. Sometimes there would be a
pocket as big as the average parlor,
and sometimes the rock containing the
rich ore would extend only to the size
of a tumbler. He sank the shaft, how
ever, and ran into laterals from two
to three hundred feet on either side.
He soon began to find gold everywhere
Even the rocks lying on the surface of
the ground netted him a fortune. There
were some great boulders near his
shaft. He had these broken up with
dynamite, and from them alone he got
100000 1t was not, however, all clear
sailing. At one time the gold seemed
to have played out, and he offered to
sell the mine for $150,0O0 His offer was
refused, and within a few days after
this he made another rich strike, and
for twenty-five days he took out about
$1,000 day. At present he has gone
between six and seven hundred feet
down into the earth. and there is no
doubt whatever that there are millions
of dollars worth of gold between the
levels which have been already mined.
The mine seems to be growing richer
as it goes downward, and his refusal

Holze Will Not Attend the Bryan
Ratification

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 15.-Hoke
Smith. secretary of the interior, will
not attend the big Bryan ratifica ton
meeting at Augusta next week, and
for two weeks he has been advertised
as one of the star speakers. A letter
was received from him today stating
that he could not come The comment
here is that while the secretary is for
Bryan and Sewall. and would like to
come, he cannot afford to. do SO while
the relations between himself and the
president are so strained. After ex-
pressing regret that he. cannot be
present, he says:
The opinions which l often expressed on
financial questions, l still advocate, but l
also had occasion then TO say that when the
national Democratic convention named can
didates for president and vice president no
matter what might be the action of the con-
vention upon the financial question all Demo-
Gratis should support the nominees. This
position then believed to be correct and
am prepared to sustain it with equal sincerity
now The Democratic party does not confne
its platform to single issue, nor will it's
power to serve the people cease with the
solution of that issue 1t stands for just taxa

CRIPPLE CREEK, Aug. 13.-Thou-
sands fail in mining Hundreds make
a living. Tens amass a competency, but
it is only now and then one who by
lucky stroke of the pick finds an enor-
nous fortune and keeps it. David Mof-
fatt, the mining king, says that fail
ures are not so great as in other bus
mess. 1t is certain that the successes
are more phenomenal I write today
not of the failures, but of the successes,
the millionaires of Cripple Creek Out
of this gold camp, within five years,
has come $13,OOO,OO0. The gold dug out
last year was worth $4,000, 600, and this
year the output promises to be fully
as large. The stories 1 hear Of gold dug
out and gold in sight make my avari-
cious mouth water, and, like the hun
CRY, ragged newsboy on the street out
side the confectionery store, 1 press my
nose against the glass and long for the
riches within.
STRATTON, THE MINING KING.
Take, for instance, w. S. Stratton,
who owns the great Independence
mine, which has been turning out near
ly $4,000 day for the past year, and in
which it is estimated there are from
four to seven million dollars of gold in
sight. How would you like to own
that? 1t would be enough for yourself
and your family for ages to come. 1t
is one of the richest gold mines of the
world, and the man who owns 1t was
working five years ago at the carpen-
ter's bench. Up to that time he would
have been glad, venture, to have net
ted from the work of his hands $50 a
month. His mine last year, 1t is said,
produced $96O,OOO, at a cost of about ten
cents on the dollar, and the ore is so
rich that he has to keep back his work

KICK OF MINNEAPOLIS.

The cry Of discrimination which
has gone UP from the Minneapolis
Knights Of Pythias encampment man
agement over the proposed establish
ment of a joint city ticket Office in ST.
Paul during the G. A. r. encampment,
is listened to with some disgust by
local general passenger agents. The
Minneapolis people claim that the
Western Passenger association has dis
eliminated against their city in or
dering all holders of tickets, who desire
an extension of time, to deposit their
coupons with the st. Paul agents. 1t
may be the fear of the Flour City pat
riots that if their guests ever get to
st. Paul they will never return In
stead of working against the Mime
apolis event, the Western Passenger
association has done all in it's power to
further the Mill City encampment, even
going as far as refusing to grant
special rates to the Cleveland meeting,
in order not to detract from the Min
nesota encampment. 1t it believed that
if the Minneapolis kickers will go about
the matter in the proper way, they can

New York, Jan. 24.-The modest
volume of business transacted on the
New York Stock Exchange to-day cen
tered in three stocks, Tobacco, Sugar
and st. Paul. Regarding the two first
named there was circulated gossip of
an unfayorable character, inclp.Ilng
revived rumors of hostile actio.i by the
Legislature of the State of <ew Jersey.
Both stocks not onL proved a super
ior 10 the attacks but displayed eX-
ceptlonal strength on buying, chiefly
for snort account. Although the trad
ing in the general list was quite limi-
fed improvement was noted all along
the line.
Trading was fairly animated in the
carly operations, then became almost
st,auant and so continued until the
1Iaet hour when another spell OF actiyi-
- occurred i'm which the top figures
