SAN Francisco, Jan. S.-The mining
world has been set by the ears by the
developments in the Kennedy mine i'll
Grass Valley within the past four days.
At a perpendicular depth of over ,, 100
feet. a body of rich ore, fully 30 feet III

ably with any yet found, and the great
depth at which it lies explodes long
cherished and heretofore believed infal-
lible tradition of the search for gold Oh
the Pacific coast. 1t is all old theory
which has almost crystallized into Il
formula, that gold ore disappears after
a certain depth has been attained. This
is a creed of every other p~rOspector
from the Yukon to the Panama
isthmus. The developments i'll the
Kennedy not only topples over this old
time belief, but may lead o a revolu-
ton in mining i'll this state, for the
deeper progress is made i'll the Kennedy

CAPITAL is COMING.

Colorado was very unpopular among
the goldbugs of the East during the
campaign OF last fall, and dire threats
were made of the withdrawal OF capital
from all investments in this common
wealth of independence and great re-
sources. But there were lots OF people
here who winked at the idea and called
it q bluff, and SO it wus. Wall street
ducats are finding their way out this
way At lively rate, and town, city and
county bonds are quickly snapped up
when offered; hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars are being put into mines, to say
nothing of the large sums invested in
large buildings, agricultural lands and
the like. And now comes the great
financial octopus, the Central Trust
company OF New York, and has Just
closed deal by which it is to loan the
large amount OF s500,0O0 for the con
struction of the Cripple Creek District
Railway, a tourist and traffic line that
will take in all the important points of
the Cripple Creek mining district. Talk
about Eastern capital being withheld
from Investment in Colorado? No.
Just SO long as this state offers the best
inducements it will be sought out by
Eastern capital as well as English capi-
tai and French capital.
