a WORD FOR woLcoTT.

This from that staunch Populist
organ, the Aspen Daily Times, pub
lished by B. Clark Wheeler, is more
truth than is usually found in the
radical organ of that party. 1t is
every word true and should be the
more believed and appreciated coming
from the source it does:
While Bell and other members of
congress, during the vacation were
attending to their private affairs, and
receiving larger fees for their SER
vice in their profession, besides draw
ing $4l9 2-8 month from the
United States treasury, Senator VOL
colt, as head of a commission, nearly
obtained the consent of several other
nations TO open the mints to the free
coinage Of silver, and by that work
aroused more attention to the silver
question than any other fifty mem
bers Of congress, which attention
some day will bring good results. His
speech on the Monroe doctrine in the
Venezuelan question is receiving less
criticism. The fearless manner in
which he lambasted Secretary Gage,
lost him none, but gained him many
friends. Few men could have added
the seignorage coinage rider to the
war revenue bill and had it passed.
Among the powers that be, he is one
of theks which his greatest political
enemies cannot deny II is just that
the Rocky Mountain west should have
place in the cabinet of the next ad-
ministration which is already conceded
to the republicans. We believe that
the place will be given to Mr.. VOL
colt, SO that he will not be in our
way.

A Mysterious Occurrence.

A peculiar incident is reported as
recently occurring in the Doctor mine
which at first glance sayors strongly
of the supernatural. The mine has
been idle for a long time as all know
on account OF large body OF water
accommodating in the workings. At
the time the water took possession an
unusually rich body of ore mad been
uncovered at the bottom Of the shaft.
and when it is said the ore body was
unusually rich this means something,
for, it must be remembered. the Doc
tor has produced some OF the richest
mineral-bearing rock ever shipped
from the Cripple Creek district. In
order to reduce the water it was
necessary to put in large pumping
plant, which Messrs. Cone and Robi-
son prepared to do. The other day
just as the final preparations had been
competed and the owners We're on
the point of ordering the machinery
TIE cage was lowered with an inspec-
tor. Reaching the lower levels what
was the surprise of the man in the
cage to find the mine entirely free
from water and in condition to resume
work at once. The signal was given
to hoist the cage and when the story
was related on the surface the good
news could scarcely be credited. The
cause Of the disappearance of the
water is as much mystery today as
ever and can only be accounted FOR in
one way that the Doctor workings
are in some manner connected with
some other mine whose drainage af-
fects the Doctors water level.

Increasing Miles, Army.

WASHINGTON, August Adj. Gen.
Wade arrived here today and almost
Immediately held an interview with
Secretary Alger. He received in
structions to proceed at once to Porto
Rico to reinforce General Miles with
a division of fifteen thousand men.
General Wade probably not return to
Chickamauga, where be has been
stationed, but will select his men
while here. 1t is not defiitely known
when he will be able to start, but it is
believed the troops will leave camp
before Wednesday. and embark from
Newport News.
General Brooke with eight thous-
and men is due to arrive at Porto
Rico some time tomrrrow. These
troops will give General Miles an
army of almost fifteen thausand and
it is not intended to have him wait at
Ponce for General Wade, but immed-
lately proceed toward San Juan. It
is thought Wade will land some place
near San Juan and form junction
with this division.

In Dangerous Attitude.

WASHINGTON, August L. General
Merritt has again cabled the war de-
partment in regard to the situation
at Manila which is very unsatisfactory
and dangerous, owing to the attitude
of the insurgents. In the opinion of
General Merritt their attitude is SINH
lar to that assumed by General
Garcia's Cubans, upon their rights to
enter and possess themselves of the
city of Manila. Secretaries Alger
and Long are now in conference with
the president on the serious nature
of the reports from the Philippines.
They have important dispatches from
both Merritt and Dewey. Secretary
Alger admitted that some significant
dispatches had been received but de-
ciined to state their exact nature.

c.non's Bicycle Track.

Canon City has one of the best
bicycle tracks in the state. That is,
it will be, when Warden Cleghorn has
completed the work in hand. For
some time he has had force of con-
victs employed in hauling shale and
raising the banks of the track, and
when this is finished the force will
cover the whole with fine sand from
the bitches. This sand will readily
mix with the shale and with usage
viii soon become as hard as adamant.
The end banks have been increased
from two to four feet in height, form
ing much greater protection to the
riders in race, who win also be en-
abled to secure some relief and gain
considerable impetus by permitting
the wheel to ascend these banks at
one turn and descending at the other.
1t is also the intention to level and
otherwise improve the track, probab-
ly improving it for base ball grounds.
