Susan Hubbard Martin, daughter Of
our old friend Judge p. L. Hubbard of
Denver, is fast gaining a national repu-
tation as a story writer and poet. In a
late number of the Ladies World, New
York publication and one of the best
literary journals of the country, appears
thanksgiving story by Mrs. Martin,
which deserves to rank among the noblest
works of short story fiction of the day.
The story's eloquent, pathetic, appeals to
the tendesest impulses of the reader, and
would bring tears to the eyes of Cardiff
giant. The journal containing the story
has had an unprecedented sale of this
number in Colorado, attesting the grow
ing popularity of the author among state
readers.

The Ladies Home Journal has secured
what promises to be the great magazine
feature of 1898. 1t is entitled THE In
ner Experiences of Cabinet Members
Wife" In series of letters written by
the wife of Cabinet member to her
sister at home, are detailed her actual
experiences at Washington, frankly and
freely given. The letters were written
without any intention of publication.
They give intimate peeps behind the
curtain of high official and social life.
They are absolutely fearless, and study
Washington life under the search-light
as it has never before been presented.
The President and the highest officials
of the land with the most brilliant men
and women of the Capital, are seen IN
the most familiar way. As these are all
actual experiences the name OF the writer
is withheld. The letters will doubtless
excite much shrewd guessing by readers
and study of internal evidence to discov-
er the secret. The Experiences" which
will be beautifully illustrated. begin IN
the December number and will continue
for several months.

The numerous new strikes in Crystal
camp and immediate vicinity the past

in the progress that will be made in this

existence of good ore bodies is developed
from a reasonable theory to an absolute
fact, and capital will be forthcoming in
any required amounts to work the pro-
ducers. and open up plenty more. Next

the entire winter.
Murray & Ward, the contractors on

work progressing favorably. The tunnel
has been driven about 80 feet since they
began work, and they expect to complete
it early in the winter.
The Bear Mountain Tunnel is again
being worked after being idle few days
and an iron formation is now being cut.
The tunnel is being driven straight into
the mountain, and promises to become
the gateway for the mineral bodies Of
Bear Mountain.
The Catalpa closed down the last of
the week, for the winter, in accordance
with one Of the owners desire. Mrs.
May, who has unlimited confidence in
the mine and an intimate knowledge of
its prospects, regrets the action of her
until about the middle of December.

1t is a curious fact that the two great
political parties have each had fourteen
terms pf the presidency in this country.
The United States has been governed by
each, the Democrats and Republicans, an

believes in strict Interpretation of the

think are hidden deeply in our hearts,
only lie fallow. possibly to bear fruit in
our sons and daughters. whatever we

fact that what We SOW others may reap,

BY a recent decision of the supreme
court, the state may go beyond the four
mill levy in extraordinary. cases to pay
the expense of putting down insurrec
tions or rebellions, and in conformity
with this opinion the state board of
equalization has made the state levy one
tenth of mill above the constitutional
limit for the purpose of paying the inter
est on the bonds issued in consequence
of the Cripple Creek and Leadville wars.
Seems to US that while thir indebtedness
must be met, it could be done yitksat
adding to the peoples taxes. A little
more economy in the state institutions
