How Small Investors Have Acquired Large Inter-
ests in Cripple Creek Gold Mines.

1t is not generally known that almost all
the fabulous wealth which has been taken
out OF Cripple Creek in the last six months
has gone to small but shrewd investors,
who bought up shares in the different mines
at very low prices. From investments of a
few hundred dollars, many a comparatively
poor man has come to be able within few
months to write his cheque for hundreds of
thousands.
number of these mines are to-day pay
what the entire stock cost less than year
ago.
One of the shrewdest moves made, and
which is likely to net millions to its pro-
jectors, is the tunnelling of Bull Hill, by the
Bull Hill Gold Tunnel Company.
This tunnel is to be run entirely through
the mountain which is in the heart of the
Cripple district, and has already struck some
of the richest leads in this section, although
they have only about 800 feet of it completed
A force OF men are now working night and
day on it and, from surface Indications, they
Will strike at least twenty rich veins within
| the next three months.
The company practically owns all the
veins IN the mountains, and will develop
them through their tunnel, which will give
| 1t full ownership to what will be equal to
more than twenty mines, in this the richest
section of all the Cripple Creek territory.
| For limited time Messrs. Denslow, w ard
4 Co., of $40 Broadway, New York, who are
the Eastern Agents of the Tunnel CO., will
take subscriptions to the stock and give full

"A Sermon to the Grand ARMY.

The members of Major How Post At, of
Haverhill, Mass, G. A. r.. and TIL Woman =
Relief Corps, attended the morning service
at the First Parish church Jan 9th, when
Rev. +. A. Gilmore delivered an able dis
course upon Universal Peace In his re-
marks the speaker referred to the terrible
loss of life and the sufferings incurred dur
ing wars, and showed that famous generals
had always counselled peace instead of war.
Peace, he said, was preferable, and the age
OF reason advocates it. He quoted scenes IL
Illustrating the terrible carnage and horrible
loss of life that had happened during wars
even from the early years.
The present age, he claimed, was not in
favor of war, but rather in favor of the set
Element of disputes by arbitration, and he
predicted that in the near future an inter
national peace alliance would be formed,
The cost of the new battleships and the ex-
pense incurred in the maintenance of the
standing armies of the various nations was
driving them into bankruptcy, and already
they were counselling for universal peace
The three causes for wars in the past viz.
personal am btion for renown, desire for
more territory and religious differences, do
not now exist, he asserted, and his belief
was that in the existing troubles the COM
mission would settle the difficulty or open
way for the settlement.

Gen. Charles Hamlin of Bangor in exam
lining the records for the biography of his
father, the late eX-Vice President Hannibal
Hamlln, found some valuable historical pa
pers. Hannibal Hamin's grandfather was
Eleazer Hamlin, who was a major in the
Continental army, and he enlisted four of
his sons in the company of which he was
captain. Major Hamln named several of
his children after the continents America,
Africa, Europe, Asia OF these Africa was
on the staff of George Washington, and kept
a diary of all he heard and saw Washington
say or do that was of Importance. Major
Hamlin after the Revolution went to Russia
and entered the service of the Gar. He be-
came a colonel and fought against Napoleon.
He left his diary in the United States, and
for many years it was great demand among
the Revolutionary soldiers and their de-
and Gen. Hamin is correspon ding with va
rlous Revolutionary societies hoping that it
may be found.

The Seymour Quartette happening to be at

tleman asked them if they would favor the
crowd with song while waiting for the mail
to arrive. Being very obligng set of

few selections. which We're greatly appre-
ciated by all. The rich. clear baritone of
Mr.. Faxon and the sweet tenor of Mr.. Chap
man, in combination with the melodious
| soprano of Mr.. Raymond Smith and the
deep rolling bass of Mr.. William Smith, at
once held the nearer. For country quar-
tette it is hard to beat and after the hayseed
gets thoroughly sifted through their luxuri-
ant locks, we wouldn't be bit surprised if
they should receive very fattering offers to
appear in concert. Time will tell.
