Ill Fated India.

An Englishman, just from the
plague stricken districts of India,
tells the Denver Netos of 1000 mile
railroad trip he made from Bombay
to Calcutta, in the course of which
his eyes were greeted with scenes of
desolation and suffering which, be
says, can never be erased from his
mind. He says that the plague is
carrying off thousands and vying
with gaunt famine in its deadly
work. Smallpox and other dread
diseases have broken out in the
country, and if the rains do not
come to the rescue next month,
vast region which has supported
tens of millions of people will be
uninhabitable 1T is impossible to
gain ali idea of the suffering which
is being wrought in India without
visit to the country" he says:
Throughout the entire journey from
Bombay to Calcutta, we were in
constant sight of the devastation
either of plague or famine. The
country passed through by the rail
road is practically a vast sandy
desert. There has been no rain for
eight or nine months, and there is
no possibility of raising crops this
year on account of the drouth. The
crops of last year were ruined, and
on every side may be seen deserted
homes and wretched families fleeing
from the destroyer. The extent of
the destruction may be family un-
derstood when | say that when the
public works were thrown open in
portions of the district as a means
of relief, over 100000 starved
men, women and children applied
for work in the attempt to prolong
their miserable existence. The pay
is 2 cents day, and the laborers
are employed in building highways,
irrigating bitches and canals, and
in levelling the country.

Trans Mississippi Exposition.

Trans. Mississippi Exposition.
OMAHA, May 22-In pursuance of
the original plan of the Trans Miss
issippi and International Exposi-
tion, namely the exploiting of the
wealth and resources of States and
Territories of the West, efforts are
now being put forth to produce a
collective mining exhibit which will
excel amy former exposition of the
products of American mines. The
mineral wealth Of the Western
States includes practically all the
precious metals, and the bulk of
other valuable minerals produced
in the United States. The annual
value of the gold and silver mined
in the West exceeds $100,000,000.
The production of copper and other
minerals exceeds in value the gold
and silver product. The vast coal
beds, which, for the most part, are
lying dormant, produce an aggre-
gate of 100000 tons year, val
ued at from $25,OOO,00O to $30,000,-
600.
The sentiment of the Exposition
management that the mines and
mining exhibit should be one of the
main features of the Exposition has
been we'll carried out by John J.
Humphreys of Denver, who designs
the building in which this exhibit
will appear. He is planning strik-
ing structure Of the Doric order,
with accented center and ends The
MINES building will be the largest
on the grounds, larger, even, than
the machinery building. Mr.. Hum
phreys has been given a plot OF
ground 400 feet long by 15O feet
wide on which to erect the building,
and according to his present ideas
this will be the dimensions. 1t will
be sixty feet in height from the
ground to the cornices, while the
immense central dome will tower
$50 feet above the ground. The
building, which will be finished in
staff. will cost in round figures
100000.

gress from that section. He says
that it has been decided to produce
in miniature the Spear-fish irrigated
farm and the Spearfsh falls. The
Black Hills people propose to make
their entire exhibit in the mines
building. Lawrence county will re-
quire about 5000 square feet of floor
space for its exhibit. Speaking of
the probable methods adopted by
various localities to advertise their
special features, Mr.. Hyner said
that Hot Springs would probably
present miniature plunge, with
brownies disporting therein. Edge
mont would make a display of
grindstones, ranging from one inch
to eight feet in diameter. Lead City
proposes to construct a miniature
stamp mill and have it in operation,
showing the process of crushing ore
and extracting the gold. Ragged
Top has decided to construct min
iature mountain resembling that
famous rugged peak, with its towns,
camps, mines, etc., delineated in
bold relief. 1t was suggested that
Spearfsh might very appropriately
present a miniature representation
of the famed Spearfsh canyon, with
its bristling crags, rocky defiles,
beautiful cascades, the bridal veil
falls, the railway line and electric
light plants, the various mills and
manufacturing plants, the city it.
self, the waterworks system, the
rushing stream, including the fish
ing attractions, and vivid repre-
sentation of an irrigated farm north
of the city, the whole to conclude
with samples of the products Of
ranches-fruits, cereals, etc. At a
recent mass meeting in Galena it
