 The daily papers of Denver have seen fit to designate the ore regions of Bt ulder, Gilpin, lower Clear Creek, Park and Summit counties, Colorado, as the "Sulphide Belt" The inference is that the sulphide ores of the state are confined to these regions.

srts-Art Law Travel, Finally Work

Although Hallett Alsop Borrowe is only about 36 years old, his life has been full of incident. He is an exemp- iif'Cation of the truth of the phrase
 zach in his time plays many parts" NOW he is down before Santiago witL t!te Rough Riders and dynamite gun, Of which he appears to be special guardian. He has been reported killed CT wounded once or twice, but a late dispatch from him says that he is neither one nor the other, but all right and expecting to remain so.
 When Borrowe was young he thought he would become great artist and studied art at the Columbia art school. Then he thought that law, and not art, was his peculiar calling, and entered the Columbia law school. After awhile he decided that neither Ia nor art was just what he was cut out for, and went across the water to sce the world. He had already seen something of it on this side. His fath- CT was Samuel Borrowe, vice president Of the Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety, and young Borrowe had the en- tree into New York society.
 In England and France Hallet Alsop was put up at the most expensive clubs and was distinctly lin the swim. When he returned to this country he had become a crack billiard player, a crack shot and man about town gen erally He was fond of dog fights and all sorts of sporty things. In short the mild art student was thor oughly transformed into the gilded and giddy young man of the clubs and the inconsequential world. He stayed abroad good deal and was attracting no particular attention in this country, being regarded by his acquaintances as neither better nor worse than the

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.
Too Much Corn is Injurious to the
 Development of Muscle.

We have protested from rear to year against the excessive use of corn as food for young pigs. It is deficient in muscle making material, has a surplus of fat, and the result of it's continued use in large quantities in pigs is too
 fine 1n the bone, deficient in length,
 breadth and depth; animated lard kegs without constitution and without vitality. Where, however, the farmer has plenty of separator milk he can feed corn with impunity, says Wal lace's Farmer, for the reason. which we have repeated over and over again. that corn is an excellent balance for SC parator milk, and separator milk an excellent balance for corn. Fed to- eether they are the bread and butter. pork and beans of the pigs table. each rich in elements that the other lacks.
 The pig needs the separator milk to prevent the evil results that follow from a whole corn diet, while it needs the whole corn diet to make up what the separator milk lacks, and the far 1ner who is patronizing the creamery needs not hesitate to use both these leeds and thus secure the full benefit of both. If a farmer has ten cows With ten calves, and the COWS are good ones, from one-half to three-fifths of the milk is abundance for the calf: they are better off with a less amount tnan with a greater, and hence the pigs can rightfully claim their share. Nature intended that the COW should give enough milk for the calf. Man nas Improved on natures methods. doubling and sometimes trebling the amount, and he Is therefore entitled to

average man of his type, when sud- denly came the Coleman Drayton scan ,lal The social prominence of all the parties concerned (Mrs. Drayton was a daughter of Mrs. William Astor) and the challenge to duel (which did not take place) between MT. Drayton and Mr. Dorrowe kept society gossiping for a Iong time.
 Finally that passed away and Hal lett Alsop BorrOwe was for time for gotten. It was said that he was liv- Ing quietly abroad, Suddenly it was discovered that Borrowe had returned to this country, forsaken the ways of his former life and was employed as a car starter on the trolley road in New ark. He had started in to work for a living and had begun at the bottom of the ladder.
 He worked hard, and finally was made division superintendent at salary of s75 month. For time his doings in his new sphere of action were written about and talked about and then the young man was forgotten again. He was not destined to remain forgotten long, however, for in Novem Der, 1896, it was announced that Bor- rowe had married Miss Anna Wheeler CYrbin, Austin Corbins youngest Daughter
 It seems that the Borrowe and Cor Din families had been intimate when flallett Alsop was a school boy, and his especial friend had been the young est daughter. The school boy love had remained through all the intervening years, and Borrowe had gone to work on the trolley line to prove that he had reformed and was living a life which made him worthy to marry his boyhood's love.

a share of this skim milk for the pigs. Farmers who raise calves by hand and feed the separator milk intelligently to
 pigs, will never be troubled with pigs too fine in the bone, lacking in consti- tuition and vitality. In fact, the very best pork grown in America, and most
 desirable for export for high priced bacon, good enough to satisfy even the most critical English epicure, is made in dairy districts where separator milk forms large portion of the pigs food

noble steed was none other than the silent
man, the indomitable Grant himself. The
wonderful chieftain had on neither uniform
nor shoulder straps, but instead had on
privates pants and blouse, and on his head
was an old straw hat, partly gone to seed.
And just when we had reached the point
where we were to be placed en- masse for
the awful charge, the silent man came gal
Looping back. We were halted very near
the entrance to the mine which Grant had
caused to be tunneled right under the
enemy's greatest fertilization right near the
historic old city of Petersburg, Va.
The ravine was Just below where we
were in solid mass. That means a myriad Of
troops standing and touching each other all
the way through They had tunneled
from this point for nearly half mile and
directly under Fort He'll, the name Of the
stronghold where Grant wished to break
through at Petersburg.
A large chamber was made in the bowels
Of the earth under Fort He'll, and therein
was placed many tons OF giant powder with
train or fuse Of powder leading thereto.
Three lines of battle were formed in the
ravne below our solid front. Grant was
seen to move up and down these lines,
with stump OF cigar in his mouth, and
his old straw hat in one hand, and see!
great God he is pointing to the lurid hell
beyond.
Not one Of us knew that the terrible
mine was there. But what is the great
chieftain lighting that newspaper for?
Surely he could have lighted his cigar
stump with the lighted match which he
has just thrown away. He stoops and
ignites something at his feet in the ravine
a noise is heard but the Kissing devil
disappears under the ground.
Grant runs up the hill to where we are
en- masse. He gazes for moment, but
only for moment, and great God the
heavens and the earth have at last come
together, and over at Fort He'll, in the
enemy's lines human heads, arms legs and
bodies are hundreds of feet heavenward
and are now beginning to descend to
mother earth again. But we see nothing
more of this, for the awful word has been
given, "Charge bayonets, double quick,
march," and I declare now, thrty-four
years after, that Grant, the silent man,
was leading the van when passing over the
hill.
oh that Grant and Robert E. Lee were
with the boys of the blue and gray near
Santiago, to-day.
We were repulsed by the Doble boys in
gray on that memorial occasion-many of
the enemy were slain and wounded on that
day but twice as many were sacrificed on
the Union side.

For the CECIL WING.
The awful charge at Santiago, the other
day, reminds us of the terrible explosion
of the Grant mine in front of Petersburg,
July 30th, 1864, very nearly thirty.four
years ago.
Then, the people always knew that there
had been a fight because the evidence was
always on the battle ground, thousands of
mangled dead and dying were found on
the field to attest the fact that the two
great armies of the American soldiers had
met and one or the other had conquered,
and the crimsoned fields and thousands of
dead spoke much palmer than we can get
the battle news to-day.
Then an Admiral never was known to
have gone out with his fleet and after hav-
ing blown all the water out of the James
river, and had leveled every mountain for
miles around and sunk whole fleet of
Southern gun boats to return without a
single scratch, oh, no, there was no such
fighting when we faced the brave South
erner, the enemy well worthy our steel.
But how glad we ought to be that we
have our noble Southern brother to lead
and be led. Shoulder to shoulder with
the boys in blue-he wearing the same old
blue of Washington, Lincoln and Grant.
On the morning Of July Both, 1864,
while at Petersburg, Va, and just when
the great round ball of fire, known as the
orb of day, was lifting itself above the
Eastern hills, the order rang out clear and
distinct 'fall in line boys with arms and
ammunition and leave all else in camp"
And every one of the boys knew that this
meant fght-and to look just across one
field to the South and take in the terrible
Gibraltar which was frowning at US from
beyond, we also knew that it meant death
in its oruelest form to thousands Of the
brave boys.

succeeded in getting an appointment to
West Point Military Academy about the
years 1857 or 1853, and was in the gradu-
ating class when the Civil War broke out.
He like others there, risked his life and fu-
ture to the Southern cause. On account Of
his military training he was given an i'm
portant position in the Confederacy. Then,
with the influence of Gen. VIM. T. Sher-
man, he received commission as maior in
the Egyptian army.
While there it was said that he made i'm
portant surveys on the river Nile. He re-
turned home to his father, who had taken
up his residence at Taylorsville, Anne
Arundel county, where he died August II,
1889. His remains were brought to North
East, his mothers former home and inter.
red in the family lot.
year or two after that, on Decoration
Day, while an old veteran, Whitney Day,
since dead, was distributing flags on the
graves of dead comrades, his attention was
called to the grave of the Confederate. He
said: 1--WE will put flags over him too,
for he can't do any harm now. since then
flags and flowers have been put on his
grave with the rest. Every year Decora-
ti"n Day has grown in interest. While
the ceremony of decorating was being car
ried out, when they came to the Confed-
erate graves, Rev. w. A. Wise said:
'Why not have these graves marked by
stones, with propes Inscriptions" After
consulting with Rev. Mr.. Cook, who was
also in the Confederate army, and other
friends, the idea was gladly taken up, and
the needed money was contributed freely.

Sclo II, George A. Blake, Esq, of Elkton,
