pecting and prepared for q clash with tho ad-
herents of billiard and Frey. but the latter ap.

The little British fishing schooner Spinaway
sailed from Cadiz for ST. Johns, Newfoundland,
seventy-lve days ago. About tho middle of
January, when she was within three miles of
the Newfoundland coast. she got caught in the
ice. and a florce storm of sleet and snow made o

with q foot or more Of 1t. Under her frosty
burden she sank nearly two feet below her bal
last water line. A northwest gale sprung up
and drove hor far out to sea again. Nearly all
her sails were carried away in tho blast. Her
skipper. Capt. Richards, had a vague idea
of his position on Feb. 4, when he sighted
tho Danish oil-carrying steamship Christine,
which arrived here yesterday from Shields.
The Bchooner's provisions had given out, and
she was flying q distres signal. Capt. Larsen
Of the Christine lowered a boat, containing pro-
visions, oil, tobacco, medicine, and a patent log,
which were taken aboard tho schooner. some of
whose crew were in bad shape. Capt. Richards
ascertained that he was about $50 miles north
cast of the Azores, ana nearly 1900 miles
from ST. Johns. He said that he thought he
would make for the nearest port. He was within
1000 miles of Cadiz, whence he had sailed sixty
Ave days before. Ho had covered IN all about

COLORADO SPRINGS. Feb. 13.-The Eldora
gold camp, about 125 miles northwest Of this
city and which was not known a few months
ago. is believed by men Of mining experience to
be q camp which will in time prove a rival of the
Cripple Greek district.
Eldora. q town Of near 1000 population, is the
centre Of the camp which takes its name. Tho
camp Is about thirty-two miles long and eight
miles wide, and nbounds in gold, silver, iron,
sulphide. sylvanite, and tellurium. Gold was
discovered L in this region several years ago. but
no excitement was created until about eight
months ago, when prospecting began in earnest
and since when values of upward Of $780, 900
per ton in gold have been discovered. The camp
now has forty shipping mines.
Eldora will soon have railroads. The first to
reach tho field will probably BIO built by tho
Colorado Northwestern Railroad Company. But
little prospecting can be done at present, owing
to deep snow. but the hills about the camp are
being rapidly staked, and people are rushing in
to be ready for operations in the spring.
