The marvellous reception which Phil
adelphia gave the veterans of the Grand
Army last week, shows what hold
these heroes have on the heart of the
nation. 1t proves that in spite of the
seeming indifference exhibited each
Memorial Day, the memories of the
struggles to preserve our Union made
by these men will never pass from
the minds of our people.

pool was decidedly weaker to-day and sold
freely here during the opening hour, the
offerings were absorbed by outsiders. and
the early decline recovered by noon. The
ouying for Southern account has not been
general, but apparently New Orleans
bought more freely than the other sec
tions of the cotton belt. While the selling
from Liverpool is upon a very large scale
the demand from the outside speculation
throughout the North is upon scale suf-
hcient to absorb this selling. Rain fell
throughout the cotton belt yesterday, and
to-day clearing weather Is predicted for
tomorrow in the Southwest. Southern adj
vices state Hide cotton has been picked

disposition TO reduce crop estimates from

MADRID In MOURNING.
Its Beautiful Elephant Died Before
1t Could BE Tortured to Death.

III could BE Tortured to Death.
Madrid dispatch in London Mail.
All Madrid was in a state of excitement
the whole of last week in anticipation of
a wonderful fight between a couple of saw
age thoroughbred Spanish bulls and a
huge tusker elephant. which was to have
taken place to-day.
All the seats in the great bull ring had
been sold at fancy prices, innumerable
bets had been made, and nothing was
talked of but the forthcoming struggle.
But the happiness of the Madrilenos did
moi last long. During the night preceding
the day of the encounter the poor eggplant
died, and the newspapers came out with
its obituary. They all said it was such a
beautiful elephant.
The following are the words of the I'M
parcial upon the sad event:
THE lovers of sport have seen their
hopes dashed to the ground. The elephant
"a beautiful specimen Of his race-who
was TO have contended with the two bulls
on Sunday Is no more He arrived in
Madrid in perfect health, but alas! the life
of the elephant is no less uncertain than
that of man.
"A simple glass Of water-or, rather five
or six buckets of that liquid-gave him
cold which achieved in a few hours what,
perhaps, the noble bravery of two bulls
would not have succeeded in doing The
elephants death will necessarily be sin
cerely mourned."

LAKE BOTTOM FULL OF GOLD.
Water Drained on and Millions Elk
posed to View.

BONGO 10 tAGWs
From the New York Press.
Tacoma, Jan. 14.-The steamer Cottage
City brings news from S:tka that Gold
lake, in the Pane basin, was emptied sue
cessfully Of the greater portion of its water
on Jan. 5.-Many spectators witnessed the
sight OF draining this lake into the Pacific
ocean by a tunnel 800 feet long through a
mountain spur. The escaping water surg
ed down a ravine through the small creek
the natural outlet of Gold lake, and plung-
cd over the,.ce Of a second lake below. The
weight of water broke the ice with a
thunderous noise and threw il around IN
great masses.
Gold take fell sixty-one feet to the tunnel
level, and the volume of fresh water, sixty
one feet deep, 5000 feet long and 1000 feet
broad, escaped into the ocean.
The gravel exposed by the drainage runs
from So to $40 a ton. The bottom Of the lake
thus contains millions Of gold. Capitalists
from New York and San Francisco are be-
hind the scheme. Much decomposed
quartz was found to have dipped from
the hedges around the lake and was expos
ed to view. This quartz is richly dmpreg-
mated with free gold.
Tony Lad Bush and two companions
have discovered a mountain of quartz
within days march of Skaguay, which
runs 1900 TO $50 ton.

Statement OF Col Dodge Concerning the
Company's Intention for the Future.

The following interesting statement OF
Col d. c. Dodge Is published by the
Denver News,
The Rio Grande Western has about
fifty miles more Of track this year than
It had last year. This f. not such a
great amount. but 1t represents a great
deal as far as the development OF the
country Is concerned. Every mile that
was built led somewhere. and will
eventually lead farther, The most I'm
portant extension was that Of twenty
seven miles from Provo 10 Hober city.
That leads directly into a country that
SIS rich agiculturally and Is a good
feeding ground FOR stock. This route
viii lead into the Ulntah reservation

are also glsonite beds there richer ac-
cording to report, than any yet opened
Another road which viii be Of great
service TO W. this winter runs from
Mounds. about twenty miles east Of
Price TO the Sunnyslde coal mines, At
the mines matters are In such condition
now that We shall De able TO ship about
800 tons OF coal q day beginning next
Monday. Az full capacity the output Of
these mines will be probably 1000 tons
q day. Another coal branch which has
been IN operation for a month runs
from Scofeld TO the Clear Creek mines.
The mines have about the same ca
pacity as those at Sunnyside. We have
about as much more work planned TO
be done next year.
'The greater part Of construction
next year probably win be done on the
branch which runs from Thistle to-
ward Marysyie. The line Is operated
at Belknap. at the head Of the valley.
Next year we shall begin building fur
Their up the canyon and out over the
hills. How much work will be done
there II Is hard 10 say. There are rich
gold and silver mines. and some valu-
able iron districts upon the line OF our
proposed extension, particularly In
Cedar city where. rumor gays the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company has had
representatives looking over the
ground. Among other improvements on
the line already In use Is a steel bridge
