San Antonio, Tex, May 25.-(Special
Correspondence of The Republican,
Last night was one of our greatest
nights. Carl Beck's famous band gave
q concert in the park for the benefit
of the rough riders. This band is the
best in the state of Texas. 1t rem
dered many difficult selections, but
interspersed popular airs. The elite
Of San Antonio were there, and fully
5000 people were present in the park.
For the first time since we have been
In camp here have the officers granted
wholesale pass for the boys to leave
and return to camp at will. And they
certainly enjoyed their privilege to
the fullest. The people of San An
tonic take the keenest interest in the
rough riders, and anything they can
do to make the sojourn of the boys at
this camp a pleasant one is done. The
Texan has a fellow-feeling for all cit
liens of the great southwest, and feels
that he is naturally one of us. Many
little dinners and parties are given to
the boys by groups of newly made ac-
quaintances. Cakes and jams are
brought to the grounds and given out
to the men, or a small number are
invited TO a spread under some great

Wild rumorS are af1Oat to the effect
that we shall leave FOR Washington,
ID. c., for the summer. The men were
wild with excitement on Monday morn
ing when the report was spread that
we were to leave here for Cuba within
th1rty-siX hours. This rumor seemed
partially confirmed when the colonel
asked all who had things they wished
to express to prepare them Tuesday
evening for shipment. Then word
came that prominent senator had
written to member of the troop to
the effect that grounds had been Sc
lected eight miles from Washington,
D. c., on which we would camp until
October. Two drills a day continue
to be in order, giving us about six
hours day. All agree that it is suf-
ficient.
commissioned officers are los
ing their stripes each day because of
violation of orders, especially that of
remaining out of lines after 10 o'clock.
This has caused quite a change in the
list of non-commissioned officers in
each company.
A roster OF the non-commissioned
officers is in course of construction.
Then each man will know his COM
parative rank in the regiment.
Today the photographers of San
Antonio had possession of the grounds.

the officers, as such, were reproduced.
These different groups may be looked
for from time to time in Frank Leslie
or Harper's or the Century.
The number of accidents SENS to be
on the decrease of late. The only
serious one was that of J. c. Goodwin
of Tempe This, however, was not as
serious as was at first thought. We
were marching over a piece of uneven
ground at a trot The dust made it
impossible to see the horse ahead.
His horse stumbled and fell. The
troops behind him had not time to
stop, so they fell over him. Luckily
Mr.. Goodwin was able to crawl out,
nothing more than severely bruised.
Major Brodie's squadron consists of
the three Arizona troops and the one
from Oklahoma. You are particularly
interested in the three from Arizona,
so 1 will give the list of officers Of
each as they now stand:
Troop A-Captain O'Neill, First
Lieutenant Franz, Second Lieutenant

Denver Men Interested In Claim in the
Desert.
A party OF Denver capitalists. head

Dodge. will leave tonight over the
Santa Fe road for southern Nevada,
where valuable gold mine has been
opened through the ability OF Den
YER prospector. The prospectOr hns
spent Il year or more In the region. and
samples of ore which he sent to this
city convinced his hackers that he
knew n good thing. Larger samples
confirmed the impression. and the
prospector finally secured several prop
critics of desert miners who could not
summon the cash necessary for deep
mining. The region has been looked
over by mining experts at different
times. but their reports were not en-
couraging. as the railroad is twenty
or twenty-five miles away. and the
country Is exceedingly dreary and dry.
The Denver men are of the opinion
that they have struck II great fortune.
but are saying nothing.
At the edge of the new bonanza land
Is the turquoise belt. which was dis
covered by George simmons. u pros

what lie was after. Simmons was re-

The deposits We're worked by ancient
inhabitants of the desert, who filed
up the workings when they departed
from the country.

BICYCLES NOT BAGGAGE.
So Decides au English Court and Railways
Can Collect

:. A test case of great Importance to Eng
lIsh bicyclists which. curiously enough.
was the first of it's kind submitted for de-
cision. was decided at London recently.
The question was whether or not n bicycle
was personal baggage and whether or
not. accordingly. the railways were re-
quIred by act OF Parliament to carry 1t
without extra charge. the passenger being
by law entitled to "a certain weight Of per-
sonal baggage free. The plaintiff sought
to recover the sum charged by the COM
pany for the transportation of u bicycle.
which It declared was extra baggage;
that the wheel was clearly personal as 1t
was something which the traveller carried
for his own personal convenience and use.
There was no distinction. 1t was argued.
between n bicycle and n gun case. u case
OF fishing tackle. an artists easel or n
pair of roller skates. The railway COM
pany argued that "A bicycle was not an
article which n person ordinarily took
about with him. II bicycle We're to be
urged. then a boat forty feet long would
have to be 80 regarded and carried free.
The court held that bicycle wns not per-
sonal or ordinary baggage. and that the
railway company was entitled to make
charge for Its carriage.

In addition seed was sent TO many
persons In other parts of the state. In

were distributed to 1900 persons.

inclosed a set of blanks as sent to the
beet growers in one OF the counties.
The others were the same as to rules
and regulations. but varied in the num-
Der and amount of the prizes offered.
The samples for analysis We're all
sent TO the Colorado Agricultural Col
lcge at Fort Collins and We're analyZed
by the chemist of the college and his
assistants. Through the courtesy of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. the college was granted the
franking privilege so that more than 81
600 pounds of beet samples We're sent
through the mail free of postage.
The accompanying tables give the re-
suits of the seasons work. A few
words Of explanation seems necessary.
1t was desired that the crops be hnr-

sible at about the same time, between
October 18th and November 1st.- In

the Chamber of Commerce In contunc'
tlon with the board OF county commits
sioncrs of the several counties. 1t was
recognized last spring that the time
had come when there should be Il we'll
organized effort to get the most eXnc'
information possible on the adaptation
of the sugar beet to Colorado soil and
climate. Nearly all the estimates OF
previous beet crops In Colorado have
been based on the yield from hundred
square feet of ground. 1t was recog'
nlzcd by all that this was too small u
plot for commercial estimates. II had
been adopted because the beet growers
dlsliked to spend the large amount of
time and trouble necessary to make eN-
act experiments on large scale. II
was seen that some substantial induce
mcnt must be offered before 1t could
be expected that better results could be
obtained than those of former years.
Acting on this idea, the Chamber OF
Commerce offered $1,000 in cash prizes
to those who grew the best crop of
beets, these crops to be grown Oh Il
commercial scale and each to cover p
700 square feet of ground. This offer
OF the Chamber OF Commerce was con-
ditional on the appropriation OF certain
sums for the same purpose by the
boards OF county commissioners In each
county. This was done by the county
commissioners of the following coun-
ties: Conejos. Delta. Logan. Mesa
Otero and Weld. In Larimer county
the money was subscribed by the busI-
ness men of Loveland; In Fremont
county by the Canon City Chamber Of
Commcrc: while in Garfield county
prizes We're offered by the Denver X
Rio Grnnde and Colorado Midland rail-
roads. The results from Garfield coun-
ty are included In this report because
the rules of the contest were the same
and II had the same general purpose.
The best seed was obtained principal
ly from the United Stntcs Department
OF Agriculture mt Washington, but some
from the OXnnrd Sugar Company ut
Grand Island. Nebraska. through the
efforts OF the officials Of the Union Pa
ciiic. Denver X Gulf railroad, some
from the sugar factory nj Rome, New
York, through the efforts of Mr.. n. B.
Colt OF Alamosa. and when, near the
end Of the season. all these sources had
become exhausted. the Chamber OF
Commerce purchased in open market
enough seed to supply the remainder
of the demands. In each case the seed
was furnished to the farmer free of
cost.
Applications We're received from and
seed sent to the following number Of

Situation Brings to Notice Possibilities of
Prospects In Western Colorado.
One of the most remarkable ad-
vances in mining stocks ever recorded
in this country occurred Il few days
ago. when the value of the copper
mines of the Lake Superior region i'll
creased in value more than $1,000, 900
In forty-cight hours.
Copper is in heavier demand to-day
than 1t has been for several years. 1t
sold a week ago for 13 cents pound.
the highest price since 1888. when it
was sold for II cents Il pound. Dealers
in the metal believe 1t will advance
another cent within the next few
weeks, despite the fact that the season
of the greatest demand Is closed for
the year.
Wire manufacturers say that the out
look for business next year is that all
previous figures will he cast In the
shade. An advance of l cent n pound
makes differ ancc of S1TO per mile
in the cost of .rolley wire and n pro-
portionately greater cost for electric
light wire.
The immediate result of this ad-
vance In price was an abnormal activi-
ty In the market for copper stocks.
The copper industry has received
weeks. and quick advance in the
price of bar copper is looked for. The
supply of copper bars in the market Is
being constantly diminished. while the
demand Is increasing rapidly. The re-
ports from London for the early part
of October gave the visible supply OF
merchant copper ut G.6OO tons. The
last reports are to the effect that this
was reduced fully ten per cent during
the past month. The copper produced
having been entirely absorbed for cur
rent use. and the reserve drawn upou
to the extent Of hOre than 600 tons,
copper mines which have been aban-
doned as too poor and expensive to
work have been opened during the past
few months and are now paying a fair
profit, and the industry is to-day the
most popular branch of mining.
In noting the success of cOncontr,
