Rochester and Buffalo bowlers have al

There are any plumber of older bowling
organizations in New York and vicinity

boasts of such large aggregation of stars
as the Brooklyn club. The Linden Groves
were organized in Brooklyn during the
season of 1890 and 1891, with a member

CRIPPLE CREEK, Jan. 25.-Perhaps the
biggest event that has happened for
Cripple Creek for week is the advent
of Kansas men in the camp. 1t is said
'.biggest' because Kansas is our neigh
Dor and these men are only an advance
guard of thousands of "Jayhawkers" that
will come with the Ihawiug SHOWS and
early spring.
Tae delegation is headed by Colonel
c. Il. Edgecomb of Portland. Me-, the
president of the company; W. G. Ed
wards, the secretary of state of Kansas,
and Geo. Leis, of the Leis Chemical
works of Lawrence, Kansas. With the
exception of Col. Edgecomb none of the
party has been in Cripple Creek before
and it is not to be wondered DIT that
they met with many surprises in this
seething district. The push, and hustle
and wealth is far beyond anything they
had conceived, and it is hard TO make
themselves believe the truth when prov
en- by their own eyes.
The company which these gentlemen
represent is capitalized for $5,C00,O00,
aud controls 200 acres of ground near
Victor, and is developing as rapidly
as possible. Three shafts are being
sunk, and on February l twenty-seven
additional men will be put to work. The
party went over the property in the aft
ernoon, and express themselves highly
pleased with the outlook.
But aside from our interests here"
said Dir. Edwards. 81 want to say that l
never saw the like Of this camp. Some
of our people in Kansas donbt the stories
they read about the place, and l don't
blame them. Why shouldn't they, when
we can scarcely credit what we see in
broad day light? Kansas has been pros
porous of late, and many Il man who has
made money there will invest it in this
district before it is too late The Sun
flower state will be we'll represented
here"
Mr.. Leis. who is pioneer of Kansas,
and man of wealth and influence, and
who has seen all the booms his prolific
state has furnished, cannot give ex-
preston to his opinion of the Cripple
Creek district.
The gentlemen will remain in camp

Provision Prices Going Up and starva-
ton Is Imminent.
HAVANA, Jan. 25.-The authorities
now have to face a serious problem
here. The prices of all kinds of pro-
visions are going up rapidly every day.
In spite of this people are docklng into
Havana from the country districts and
other provinces and in many cases the
refugees are people who have lost al
most everything they possessed and
very great numb ers of them, here and
elsewhere, are depending upon
charity. The cost of the war has been
enormous, and the drain created by
provisioning the army has been very
great
The increase of crime in all the
provinces is said to be enormous
Business is almost at standstill and
commerce is practically a thing of the
past
Under these circumstances it is not
astonishing that feeling in favor of
some compromise arrangement is
steadily growing, and all eyes are
turning toward the United States as
likely to be the great factor in bring
ing peace and prosperity once more to
unhappy Cuba.

RUSH NOT BEGUN.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Jan. 25.-That the
rush to this district has not yet begun
may be proven. by the evidence furnished
by The hotel registers.
A careful inspection of the Portland
register for month past tells tale that
can not be questioned, but which will be
a revelation TO Coloradoans rs we'll as
fasteners. The observer may see, as he
reads the names down, page after page,
eight out of every ten representative cit
liens of Colorado. From this it must be
conceded that a vast proportion of the
people arriving here are home folks.
But in the course of three days at the
outside, names will appear whose owners
have come from every quarter of the
United States.
But no matter how many may come, all
will be properly cared for. The city has

A GREATeBOWLER.
Nick Thyme and His Wonderful Team. the
Linden Groves of Brooklyn.

One of the best known bowling teams in
the country is the Linden Grove aggrega-
ton of Brooklyn, which is captained by
the famous bowler Nick Thyme, the hero
of many hard fought battle on the alleys.
Thyme is an old hand at the sport, having
been through many bitter campaigns, and
naturally understands every point of the
game. His only trouble lies in the fact
that he cannot control his temper when
it comes down to a tight pace. He has
made many high scores in his day, and
one member of his team, Albert silver,
claims a record score of 500 pins. Not
long ago the Linden Groves announced
that they were ready to play any team OF
three or five men for $3.50 a side or more.
Individual contests would also be made
feature if it were desired. The style OF
game was to be the American ten frame

NO BOOM HAS ExcELLED.

The Cripple Creek Excitemsnt Has Not
Been EquaIled in Years.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Jan. pm. w. Levy
of ST. Louis, has been in this camp
for some weeks on behalf of St. Louis in :
vestors They have invested quite heav-
lily in mining properties.
Mir. Levy describes the development
of gold mines, the prospecting, the in
corporation of mining companies and
the sale of mines at Cripple Creek as
being equal to any boom which has
taken place in connection with the
search for gold in any part of the world
in recent years.
The extent of the mine dealing in the
district may be judged of by one fact, for
which Mr.. Levy makes himself respon
sIble. From the last day of Decembe
1895, to the Goth day of January, 1896,
The receipts in the office of the secretary
of state through the incorporation of
mining corporations amounted to $72-
600. The meaning of this can be ap-
preciated when it is stated that
the fee for the granting of a charter
TO company is calculated on basis of
81 for every $4,000 for which the COM
pany is Incorporated. Thus a company
with a capital stock of 100000 would
bring to the state treasury 800. There
fore, the amount of the capital stock of
mining corporations organized during
this short period is S72O,O00,0O0. taking
the stock, of course, at its face value.
Corporations, Mr. Levy says, are organ
lied to the extent of from twelve to
fifteen day.
