Colorado's Fame

With decreased expenditure
of labor and other items, the
South African gold mines expect
this year to output s75,0oo,OOO in
the yellow metal. This will ex-
coed the total thus far claimed for
the United States in 1898, the gen.
eral estimate being close to
$6O,00O,O00, Of which nearly one
half will be furnished by Colorado
alone. The increased output in
South Africa is credited to the
factsthat the mines are now oper-
ated by American mining engin-
GERS, who have introduced Ameri-
can labor saving machinery and
other economic methods. These
officials are also introducing
American furniture and house.
hold implements into their homes
and are even importing American
cottages and dwelling houses,
which are set up in this country
and then taken apart and packed
for shipment to South Africa. AS
Colorado has furnished fair

titled to share in the credit the
Americans have won.-Denver

SALT AND OIL.

After lapse of "a years, E. w.
Shipper is again pumping oil from
a we'll on his farm in Venangc
county, Pa, near Sugar creek, and
near where at that time he struck
oil that ior three days netted ST.,
800 per day.
1t was two years ago that he
started the present we'll, and at that
time J. c. Sibley's men, when they
saw what he was doing, put down
a we'll within 100 feet of it, and
when both were completed and
pumped, salt water was the result,
excepting that when the Sibley
we'll was in operation the Shipper
we'll produced oil with the salt
water.
Mr.. Shipper has opened these
old wells and started the pump in
both, obtaining oil in small quaint
ties and salt water at the rate OF
1900 barrels daily, which, with
proper machinery, would make
about 200 barrels of common salt.
Enough gas is also secured to run
the gas engine which keeps the
pumps going night and day, so that
Mr.. Shipper has sort Of perpetual
motion in operation.
Mr.. Shipper and his engineer,

the farm, and Mr.. Shipper is nego-
