Colorado is now the largest gold pro-
ducing state in the United States. Close
estimates place last years yield at
about $7,OOO,o0o more than that Of Cal
ifornia. The indications are that the
yield this year will be much larger,
and that California must take it's
rank as second place in the gold
producing states. The production
OF Colorado last year was s23 SOC, 900 in
gold and $50 100000 of silver, while Cal
l1ornla produced 100000 in gold and
about $1,O0O,00O in silver. In addition
Colorado produced lead to the value of
$4,5oo,ooO and about 81, SOC, 900 worth of
copper. This places the total mineral
product of Colorado for 1898 at $780,
oOo,ooO. New copper districts are be-
ing developed, and these, with the great
er activity in developing the new gold
and silver mines, will increase the total
yield of the present year at least rs
per cent. 1t there should be another
great strike, such as Creole or Cripple
creek, the yield of last year may be
even doubled. There is perhaps moth
ing more uncertain than ''strike" in a
mine, and the most uncertain part is
otter the strike. The lucky prospector
becomes a millionaire in a day, and he
cannot estimate within several millions
the extent of his fortune. The Cripple
Creek mines yield nearly. 81, 600, 900 a
month, and experts who have sunk dia-
mond drills as far as it is possible to
drive machinery are of the opinion that
these mines will yield, at the present
output, for at least quarter of CEN
fury. What the owners will do with
this vast amount of riches is also prob
lematical. The production of the pre-
cious metals at this rate may also have
depreciating effect upon the money
market of the world, considering the
increasing yield and the proba bility of
other rich discoveries. The increase per
month is now about $7,COO,OOO.

that the total amount of gold and silver
in the United States is So, 500, OOO, 900.

You have often been told that the
asphalt streets of this city make BIZ
cyclists love the place, because of the
thousands of miles of smooth road
way; and now it is timely to tell you
that our aggregate acres of lawn make
this paradise for croquet players.
Everybody, old as we'll as young, seems
to enjoy the game.
1t is a great game for young folks
particularly. People past 80, with bald
heads, who wear porous plasters for
lulnbago, do not often participate. Our
lawns are thronged with players just
after breakfast and just before dinner.
Students of human nature can get a
great deal of quiet pleasure out of the
game. The honest and dishonest ma
lures will assert themselves, just as
surely as in poker. The quarrelsome
ard peaceful dispositions also show
themselves. One cannot always tell on
the croquet field whom to marry, but
it is not hard to tell whom one should
not marry. T..
One of the popular society young
1uen, an OIHclal OF lne patent once, THIS
afternoon talked in an interesting man
ner about the game, and gave it's his
tory and rules. The name indicates
the French origin of the game. It
became popular in Ireland, then in Eng
land, and then was brought to this
country, where it was taken up eagerly
by the young of both sexes. In 1867
public croquet matches were played in
London and Dublin.
Th e field, rules and practices of Gro
quet have been modified since the game
was first brought to America. Orig
inally it was so simple that no skill
was required and no skill was devel-
oped. 1t was simply a, time-killing pas
time. But in this country the number
of arches has been doubled, the posi-
tions have been changed and the
grounds have been contracted. Differ
ent kinds of grounds are prepared, and
the arches have been made smaller
from time to time. The original Gro
quot arches were big enough to roll
cannon balls through without difficult

Gently which saves a great deal of the
ores that under a more rapid system
would be lost. AS far as drills have been

give an idea of the total amount of
the yield of gold in that country dur
ing he next generation, and its ultimate
effect upon this country and upon the
money market of the world.
One of the causes of our importation
of such a vast sum of gold is the tourist
travel to Europe. Millions are spent
there yearly by our millionaires. The
amount is estimated by some experts

STATION ON A COLORADO CATTLE TRAIL.

The total product last year in all OF
the mining states and territories was
$54,000,O00, about 100000 less than
the preceding year. But the product
this year has already exceeded that of
1897. The yield will be at least $50, OOO,-
GOO. At this rapid rate of production we
shall soon quit importing gold. During
the past IL months we have imported
about $60,O0O,0OO. The discovery of a
few bonanzas will give us the balance
of trade,' especially if the production
OF our mines increases at the present
rate.
These figures appear large and the re-
port of mines producing millions in
gold and silver may sound fabulous,
but the yield is small compared with
that of the Transvaal. That district
produces $6,25O,OOO a month. Mr.. j. C..
Butterfeld, mining engineer who has
visited all of the mining districts of the
world, and who represents an English
syndicate, stated to me that these mines
were practically inexhaustible. His in
vestigations led him to believe that the
mines could produce even more than
the present amount for at least so years.

A FINE CROQUET SHOT.

ty. The finest playing was done at
that time and, in fact, up to within
few years ago, on closely mown grass,
but the scientific player now prepares
a ground better adapted to his needs
and the exhibition Of his skill.
But if you study the game you will
find that it is as scientific as billiards.
There is greater field for strategy, the
exercise of deliberate judgment, nerve,
GOODNESS and boldness of play in croquet
than in Billiards, much as some may
question the truthfulness of this as
sertion. Croquet stands in strong con-
trast to the game that took it's place
in England-lawn tennis-with it's de-
iberate strokes, it's moderate exercise
and non-fatiguing efforts.
The level, hard surface of the croquet
court, with the wooden cushion with
which it is surrounded, makes possible
some shots. that were unheard of on
lawn court. Some illustrations of the
nicer shots and the everyday plays seen
in almost any game are given herewith.
The expert will pay just as much atten-
ton to the object balls as does the bill
lard player. He generally fixes his
opponents ball that he is to make the
next shot with, so that it cannot be
effective in one shot, and then proceeds
to play on the other two. Thus an OPP
ponent is kept from making a point
sometimes through seven or eight shots
by this mode of expert placing or set
ting up.
The boys who play billiards are very
apt learners of croquet. They learn how
the striking of the balls at certain
angles will produce certain results.
They handle cues on ivory balls; but
when they come to handle mallets they
are somewhat awkward. Nevertheless,
they very soon learn the difference be-
tween cues and mallets, and between
heavy wooden balls and ivory balls. The

Railroads have recently opened wsysto
this matchless scenery, but much Of it
is appreciate only by that peculiar
western animal, the burro mule. Pros
pecting for gold has led to the discovery
OF much of this scenery, and in the mar
row defiles of the grand gorges the
prospectors have built their huts by the
margins of the roaring cascades. These
furnish stopping place for the miner
and the student of natures charms, and
the simplicity of these primitive cabins
adds picturesqueness to the weird sur
roundings. The state is rich in scenery,
and many poor ranchers have made
fortunes by selling their magnifcent
locations and mineral springs to corr
porations for the erection of palatial
tourist hotels. One of the chief re-
sources of Colorado is the tourist
crop"
Next to its mineral product the cattle
industry is the most lucrative. The ex-
cellent mountain ranges and heavy veg

the greatest cattle-raising states in the

are yearly shipped to the Chicago stock
yards; also to other points east. This
state also sends thousands Of sheep to
Chicago, her best market, and tons OF
wool. Cattle and wool buyers from the
city by the lake make thorough can
vass of the state, and have many stories
to tell of their rough experiences among
the cowboys and "rustlers." The chief
drawback to the cattle industry is the
''rustlers." They are organized bands
of thieves, each band acting independ-
emily of the other, but all are united
in a bond of protection, having pass
words and places to meet to plan their
raids.
The principal bands of these rustlers
| are the ones who have recently been

Bad Lands of Wyoming. Their trail
extends from the Bad Lands, through
Colorado, to New Mexico and Arizona
They steal cattle at one end and pass
them along the line and sell them to-
ranch ers or cattle buyers. Those stolen
from Wyoming are sold in Colorado,
and Colorado cattle are run down to
New Mexico or Arizona. Along this
trail are shanties, Or log cabins, which
are combination of saloon. hotel and

these stations their headquarters on

are unusually lively, especially if
