DRY WASHING FOR GOLD.
Big Pay in A Number of Claims on
the Colorado.


Eldorado Canyon and the sur
rounding country in the extreme
of Lincoln county are so far remoy-
ed from quick mail service, that,
coupled with the fact that the base
of supplies for the entire region
thereabouts, lies to the south, at
points along the Santa Fe railroad,
we consequently, in the northern
part of the county learn of opera
tions and prospectings going on
there, only at intervals and then
usually from someone who has per-
sonally visited the section.
Prospecting for gold continues
there with lively interest and a new
phase of mining for this section has
been successfully followed for
number of months past.
What is known as the Eldorado
Summit, is mountain top or ridge
about IA miles this side of the river,
which extends for a distance of
about 25 miles along the river. In
this ridge or chain of mountains are
found the quartz veins which have
furnished ore for the Eldorado
Company for the past 30 years, and
numerous other gold bearing lodges
which have been prospected and
worked at intervals with various re-
suits.
During the past winter prospec-
tors began to use dry washers on
the summit of the ridge, and with
such success than in several in
stances 81. 90 and $500 a day was
recovered to the man.
A man named Barrett, two broth
ers named Wagner, and a man
named Clark are among the lucky
ones and they hold several groups
of good claims.
John Heuss, we'll known herea-
bouts, few months ago found a
prospector operating a dry washer
on claim of his, which Heuss had
always prospected for quartz in
place. Heuss notified him that he
must vacate and himself immedi-
lately constructed a crude wash
er and on recent visit showed a
Phoebe man two pounds of rough
gold which he had obtained in
about two months work.
The success of these men will
stimulate prospecting on the same
lines in other quarters thereabouts,
and it is but reasonable to look for
other important and valuable dis
coveries.
Water is scarce along the ridge
and the few springs which have
been found supply barely enough
water for domestic and other neces-
sary uses.

Insurance Patrol Works for the Poor
aE Well as che Fpsured

Insurance Patrol Works for the Poor
RE Well she Insured.
At fires in the homes of the poor these
detaehments of the patrol work lust
as earnestly and conscientiouslv to save
property as they would in the expen-
sively furnished mansions of the rich.
At tenement house fires they are of
great service. First they aid in getting
the people out; then. gathering the
goods together, the patrolmen protect
them from water with tarpaulin covers.
The majority of these fires break out in
the Easements or cellars; then. follow
ing the air and light shafts to the top
door, they spread, and do the greatest
damage in the upper stories. To ex-
tinguish these fires, the other floors be-
low have to be flooded, and were il not
for the fire patrol in many cases the
poor families would lose everything
they owned.
One of the captains of the patrol re-
marked: why. it would do your heart
good il you could hear how profuse
these poor people are in their thanks.
and the blessings they shower on us
when they find we've saved their things.
They go running around, wringing
their hands and crying: 'Everything's
lost! Everything's lost!' and then.
when the fire is out, we lead them back
and show them their things, as dry as a
chip under the covers, and-well, say
there isn't anything they wouldn't do
for us Half the time they're not in
sured, and it isn't our business to pro-
tect people who are not; but we're not
supposed to know everything and our
orders are TO protect property first and
find out whether it is insured after
wards; and it is not our fault if we save
the little all of "a lot of poor creatures
who half the time haven't a change of
clothes to their back. You bet, we get
to work just as quick in tenement
house fire as in big house on Fifth
avenue and we do the same work in
both places, no matter whether it's for
the rich or the poor, CHARLES T. Hill,

A slim, middle-agcG man with "a new

His persistent watching attracted the
attention of one of the attaches of the

The recent night attacks on Brit

suggestion that all such exposed mill
tary camps be provided with power
full electric search lights, like those
used by war-ships. With bright beams
playing over the surrounding coun-
try, it is argued, the danger of night at

MIGHTY WAR FLEETS.

Not since the revolution in naval
architecture have there been gather
ed by government as many battle
ships and cruisers in battle forma-
ton. There have been larger fleets
assembled, as on the occasion of the
Queens jubilee, but these have rep
resented several nations, and have
been without hostile intent
Admiral Sampson has in his fleet
forty-five vessels, including five
battleships, two armed cruisers,
nine protected cruisers four moni-
tors, two dynamite cruisers, six of
the larger gunboats, and seventeen
light gunboats and torpedo boats.
The battleships are manned by 2204
officers and men, and carry eighty
four guns in main batteries and l7S
guns in secondary batteries. The
cruisers, armored and protected,
have 1926 officers and men, and
carry 135 guns main batteries and
are manned by S64 officers and men
The larger gunboats, like the Nash
vile, have each crew of ITO men
and the dynamite cruisers crew OF
l40 men. Not counting the dyna-
mite cruisers or gunboats Admiral
SIMPSONS feet would carry into
action 7714 men and 631 guns.
The formidable British fleet that
bombarded Alexandria in 1882 con
sisted of eight battleships carrying
l02 guns and 3539 men. In the
great naval battle at Yalu September
II, 1896 the japanese had clever
warships and the Chinese fourteen

The Bore Who Talks About His
Health or Ailments.

A group of men were talking in ho-
tel corridor uptown recently when a
man with dark beard and rather long
hair entered. The members of the
group began to scamper away Instant
ly, and it was a curious fact that not
one remained to exchange greetings
with the new arrival, although they all
knew him intimately.
Col David L. Harbaugh, who came
from Ohio and knows President Nc
Kinley and all the big orators and
statesmen, explained why it was that
they all avoided the man.
"That man is a gentleman and a
scholar, but he is the most unmitigated
bore that ever wore out the patience
of his friends. He should read Don't,
