W. A. Thomas, OF the E. j. Mathews
Mercantile Co. showed us some fine dried
peaches this week. which were equal in
appearance and far superior in taste to
any California fruit we have ever seen.
These dried peaches were purchased OF a
Denver firm and shipped direct from
Delta, where they were dried. They are
proc. enough that this section Of the
state is overlooking a vast branch Of the
fruit industry, that Of evaporated fruits.
The peach crop in particular. is a crop
which must be marketed in a very short
season. and this alone rushes the fruit
I'll into the markets at once, thus often
bringing the crop down far below any
reasonable profit. II more of our fruit
raisers would see the profit in dried fruit.

Important Strike Near Pitkin.

Pitkin. Colo. Feb. u.-One Of the most
important strikes yet made this year was
the opening OF large body Of ore on the
Mineral Farm, territory about two
square miles in extent lying in the north
eastern section OF Pitkin district. This
locality has for long time been noted
for the great amount OF rich mineral
float thickly scattered over its surface
Heretofore the lead from which this
feat came could not be located in place
and hundreds OF feet OF prospecting have
been done in endeavoring to find it. Last
Thursday the discovery was made in the
shaft being sunk between the Al glo-Sax-
on and Citizen lodes by William Friend.
p. Fitzpatric. Thomas Huxtable and d.
z kimlin, at depth OF 2o feet. The
ore underlies the wash and is a well
defined properly located vein. Two as
says give good values, the first 373 ounces
in silver and s2s in gold; the second l32
ounces silver and $3.50 gold. Two men
in two days took out five tons OF the
mineral. A car load is expected to be
shipped within few days.-Denver

People, as . rule, do not want enough
turkey at one time to lay banquet
spread, and consequently they pick for
something small OF not exceeding me-
dium size.
The hen turkeys always sell first,
simply because they are more suited in
size to the wants Of the ordinary FAM
lily. Then the smaller gobblers go, and
lastly the pride of the f,ock-the biggest
tom in the lot-and he usually goes at
. discount Of . or 8 cents o pound less
than the lesser weights.
A turkey that weighs from 10 to 15
pounds dressed is plenty large enough.
The people don't want a turkey as big

The monthly reports OF the county
treasurers TO the state treasurer. for the
month OF January, with remittances en-
closed. are being received by State
Treasurer Kephart in large numbers.
Yesterday he received ~ reports.
The fact that the county treasurers
are able to eend their reports a week or
ten days before the last day Of grace
granted by the Law. is evidence TO Auditor
Lowell and Treasurer Kephart that
money is comparatively easy throughout
the state and that the county collectors
are not experiencing as much trouble as
usual in collecting the general revenue

Almost the only objection that can
be raised to the Black Javas is that they
are black. This is defect in the eyes
Of market purchasers, especially Of
young birds. because the pin feathers
are more likely to show, but this objec-
tion diminishes as the bird grows old

Java makes it a profitable bird to pro-
duce for sale dressed by the pound.

A SUGGESTION.

Count Zeppelin, German nobleman, is
the latest claimant to having solved the
problem OF aerial navigation. And what
is more. men whose opinions, we are told,
are worth something have faith in him,
and have formed a company with capt.
tai of over $780, 900 to back him.
According to Vienna special. scien-
lists have tested his apparatus, or air.
snip, and found it perfect, and 1t is pro-
posed that his first voyage shall be made
from Vienna to New York. four days be-
ing the time scheduled for the trip.
We shall watch for the arrival Of the
apparatus with great interest, but as 1t Is
said to have "a capacity of eight days"
would suggest that IT might not be a bad
idea for the Count to make EN- route a
detour in search Of Andree.
Think of a meeting in midair over the
pole between the Count and the long-lost
Swedish balloonist. It would be evea
more highly dramatic than was the meet
ing between Nansen and Jackson.
Really, the enterprising journal to which
we are indebted for the news of the
Counts solution of the problem ought
TO persuade him TO make the detour

YELLOW-FEVER.

Yellow-fever is widespread in Mississippi
and a portion Of Louisiana. 1t is said to
have emanated from New Orleans, where,
it is alleged, the public was kept in igno-
rance of its existence for some weeks.
Whether the facts justify this charge or
not we cannot say but the policy of sup
pressing the truth in such instances is all
too common in cities where contagious
diseases prevail. But 1t ought not to be
so; the truth ought to be told-that is, if
human life is to be valued higher than
commercial advantages
AS vet the fever has not been very
fatal, but its history, In its epidemcal
stage. is. that it begins in slow trot
and ends In a gallop. And, unhappily, 4
will be month or more before frost can
be relied upon to come and put stop
20 its ravages. Meanwhile, there is "a
plentiful lack of effective quarantine.
The States seem not TO have had an
understanding with one another or with
the Federal Government. Hence. the
disease is not checked in its early stages,
and men and women flying from one Sec
ton carry the fever with them TO other
sections. 1t is horrible to think that this
lack of cooperation continues year after
year. and with dreadful expenditure Of
life.
Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi, left
Jackson some time ago and went TO Bran
don; but he has been made to leave Bran
don. because he came from the worst
infected city in the State. His present
whereabouts are not known. We pre-
sumo the authorities are making him, like
little Joey, keep a moving on. 1t is
disagreeable predicament for any man
TO be in and most extraordinary one
for a Governor.
OF course travel and trade in Louisiana
and Mississippi are greatly interfered
with. and it may be doubted If conditions
will improve until a kindly frost appears
and drives the fever away.

rbe leaders about Republican head
quarters in Washington. are prociaim'ns
that a Democratic victory this fall wou'd
| avail nothing. as there could be no Demo-
| cratic legislation with Republican fres'
| jdsut IN powpr; also. that II the Demo-
Gratis elect a majority OF the House imam
ella, interests will be aroused and make
enormous contributions to the Repuoh-
can campaign fund for 1900.
There is no doubt, that II the next
House is Democratic Hanna VIII, IN i"''
levy mercilsssly on the financial and Kin
dred interests, and that In the eiec-
/ lion OF that year Hannaism Will be more
diegr,cefulIy in evidence than 1t was In
the election of 1906.
All the same. for some four decades IL
has been the almost invariable rule that
the party that captured Congress In the
off wear won in the presidential election
next following and there are many
reasons for thinking that in this instance
even the power of Hanna's barrel ana
the unscrupulousness OF his methods
would not be sufficient to cause the break
ing OF the rule.
1t Is true that a victory for the Demo-
Gratis this fall would not enable them to
accomplish any Democratic legislation
in the next Congress. But IL would en-
able them to prevent a good deal Of
iniquitous Republican legislation that
seems TO be on the cards. II would put
them in position to estop n repetition Of
the saturnala of extravaganza the Repub-
leans have always INDUCED in when,
while In power, they have had plethoric
Treasury, at their command. 1t would put
them In position TO expose thoroughly
the designs Of the Republican party and
its SHORTCOMINGS in connection with the
Spanish-Am war. They could mako
a record In respect of these matters that
would rally to the Democracy the power
of public sentiment-a power that in 1879
would, we believe, prove infinitely more
effective than Hannaism-
So we say that-the proclamation and
the boast OF the Republican leaders at the
national capital to the contrary, not
withstonding-the November elections
hold as bearing upon 1900 great and UNI
usual possibilities for the Democracy.
And, by the way, their boast-or, rather
threat-as involved in their reference
TO assessing financial interests in 1900,
affords one of the strongest arguments
why the Democrats should seek to get
control of the next House, and then open
the way for Democratic victory in the
presidential campaign, two years hence.
That boast or threat, Is brazen notice
that the Republicans have no idea of
enacting any legislation not agreeable to
the financial interests" What financial
interests are alluded to and what those
interests are welded to, we all know.

A few years, ago Richmond claimed
as we believe justly, that its electric lin;
was the longest and best equipped In
existence, and II was but natural to
think II would keep pace with the other
places along this line. Not so. however
and along its principal thoroughfare one
still sees and hears the jingle of the
street-car mule and his bell.-The Black
stone Courier.
Yes; but a splendidly equipped electric
line runs alongside the old track used
by the mule cars. Furthermore, the fran
chises OF the line upon which the mule
cars are used will expire in about eighteen
months time. and whoever gets the new
franchise will be compelled to employ
electric power.
We have eiectric-cars on Main and
Broad streets from end to end, and the
Church Hill and Ciay-street electric line
runs almost parallel with Broad street.
