as reservoir No. T. II was originally
called Mystic Lake" and is about
three miles from the Seven lakes, now
well known to tourists. The old Mystic
lake had an area of about eight acres
and was a favorite resort as a hunting
and camping ground for the Utes.
Somethingof the superstitious seemed
to be associated with it's placid waters,
sheltered under the summit of a great
peak. Mystic lake was about IS feet
above the bed of Ruxton creek and 100
feet back from its bank. The geoiogist
now explains that he lake was OF gla-
cial origin: hence. when a dam was con-
structed, and the old Mystic lake be-
came a part OF the water works system,
the name was changed to Lake Mo-
raine." This has an area OF over 90
acres and has been stocked with brook
trout. From Lake Moraine the water
flows along the natural channel of Rux-
ton creek to a point near the HALFWAY
house. whence IL is carried in pipes
along the side OF the cog wheel route
as far as Manitou. Thence IL Is con-
veyed in two pipes. the smaller one
being tapped at Colorado City. located
between Colorado Springs and Mani

CASH WHEAT MARKET.

No. northern on spot-There Is good
demand for the small offerings Of this
wheat at July price, and in some cases
little better than that is paid. The large
milling concerns are not SO anxious buy
ers as they have been in the past. and the
small milling concerns are the principal
buyers of this wheat on spot now. The
offerings are so small that the trade on
spot Is assuming but little Importance.
No. / northern to arrive-The trade in
wheat to arrive is of but little Importance
owing to the very small amount Of wheat
offered and the buying and selling side are
too far apart. Millers are bidding about
INC over May and occasionally 11ac over,
but these are exceptional cases. Line COM
panies do not care to sell even at July
price, much less at the price Of INC over
May offered by the millers.
No 2 Observation-Disclosures Of this grade
of wheat are small and what is received
sells on the basis of 11a@1Ac under No. 1
northern. The demand is good.
No. 3 northern and rejected wheat-The
demand for these low grades of wheat is
fair on the basis of &c under No. north
ern for good cars of No. wheat. The
offerings are 50 small, however, that bust
ness Is Of little Importance.

ITALY rs IN A STORM OF RAGE
Disaster in Abyssinia Grows Worse as
Reports Come In.

Rome, March 4.-The kingdom of Italy
today is in a storm Of excitement, grief
and anger almost beyond description
Every dispatch from Massowah adds to
the gravity of the disaster to the Italian
army at Adoway Alsais. When the
first news Of General Baratieri's defeat
reached the city the report had only 500
men killed; then yesterday afternoon
the number ran up to 5000 killed, with
SO pieces of artillery captured This
mornings dispatches place the number
of killed in battle and a long harassing
retreat which followed at 5000. It is be-
lieved that not even these figures tell
the full extent Of the disaster No men
ton is made of the wounded, and there
is good reason, based on the stories of
recent italian defeats by the Abyssin-
ians, to believe that those who fell
wounded during the retreat Of over so
miles met more horrible fate than
those killed on the spot
Throughout the night the garrison
here was kept under arms and mounted
patrols traversed the principal streets.
The streets were filled with people until
daybreak, and after early morning ev-
cry public place was crowded with ex-
