The most important strike of the year
has been made BY the Big Five com.

Of the old Nj Wos vein after the com

quarters of mile. The point Of con

bottom Of the Nj Wot shaft. which was
about $50 feet deep. The ore encounter.

a large body of it has been cut. The Nj

thirty years ago of million dollars of
high grade pyrite. 1t has been prac.
tlcally abandoned for twenty FIVE years.
Its product was concentrated at mill
whose stamps we're hauled by mules
across tie plains and cost nearly as
much delivered al silver stamps would

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1.-THE
final count of the population Of Colora-
do gives the state II total of $50, 700 in.
habitants, an increase of 127 500 since
1890, or 300 per cent.
After two weeks discussion the
general opinion now prevails that the
basis of congressional apportionment
under the new census will be about
100000. 1t is certain that the figures
must be something above the present
basis of 173,OOO, and If 1t goes above
100000, the representation of a number
of large and influential states would
be reduced. On the basis proposed
Maine is the only state of influence
whose representation will be cut.
On this basis Colorado is absolutely
sure to have three representatives in
the Fifty-eighth and succeeding Con-
crosses, but could not get n fourth on
any reasonable apportionment. Whe-
Their the state is to be redistricted, or
the new member Is to be elected at
large, Is question for the state Leg
islature.
Colorado had in 1860 n population of
34,2I7, and In 1870 population of 3d.
S64, but in 1880. the first census taken
after It's admission as state, it had
grown to 1a,327, representing an in
crease in ten years of 154 1853. or 1914
per cent. During the decade from 1880
to 1880 1t again increased by consider
aDiy more than 10 per cent. giving n
total in 1880. as previously stated, of
412, 1913.
The population of Colorado in 1900
is nearly sixteen times as large as the
population given for 1860. the first

CABINET DISCUSSION
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Washington, Nov 12.-At the meet
ing Of the Cabinet, two of the three
hours that the session lasted We're &C.
cupied In discussion of foreign af-
fairs, necessitated in part by the fact
that the President intends to exhaust
lively treat this subject in his forthcom-
Ing message to Congress. Reference
was made to the expressions In por-
lions Of the European press that the
United States policy regarding China
would undergo marked changes imme-
diately after the election
1t is authoritatively announced that,
after a most exhaustive review of ev-
cry step of the Chinese difficulty, from
its inception up to the present moment,
delivered by Secretary Hay, the Cabl-
net ratified every detail, and, more
over, unanimously expressed its judg.
ment that the policy so far pursued
should be continued without change TO
its logical conclusion. Accordingly, the
present legation guard at Pekin will
be maintained, and such troops as yet
remain to be withdrawn, according TO
the original program, Will be shipped
to Manila.
With this addition to his force, Cen
eral Macarthur is expected TO renew
the campaign against the reDeillous
Filpinos with the greatest energy. AL
ministration officials here think that as

Warrington, Nov. Ex-senator Proc
tor of the Senate committee on military
affairs and Adjutant General Corbin
held an informal conference with the
President Saturday. relative to legisla-
ton to be asked of Congress in connec-
ton with the proposed increase Of the
regular army.
Under the existing law" said Sen
ator Proctor, Mt the conclusion of the
conference, the present strength of
the army, $1,000 regulars and $4,000
volunteers, will be reduced on the first
day of next July to 2T.0O0 regulars.
This Is an nbsurdly small number, and
Congress will be asked by the Presi-
dent to reorganize the army upon
larger basis. 1t will be impossible to
keep any troops in the Philippines I'M
less the army is increased. to say moth
ing of the garrisons for the forts in
this country.
my own judgment is that Congress
will provide n regular army of about
$4,000 or 10000 men, with discretion to
the President to raise the total to 100,
600 If he finds the larger number nee
essary. | have no doubt that this leg
islation will be enacted mt the coming

Theory of the Limon Murder.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 12.-The Denver
detectives seem to hold the following
theory in regard to the murder OF lit
tie Louise Frost:
The crime was committed by some
man who was acquainted with Louise
Frost He knew the time she passed
along the lonely road on her way from
school and the postotiice. He waited
for her. She knew him. When she
came along Thursday evening he stop
ped her Perhaps he had done so be-
fore. They talked for few moments
and upon some reasonable preteXt ne
coaxed her out of the buggy. she
wrapped the lines around the whip ana
threw the laprobe forward across the
dashboard When driving she had her
mail upon the seat by her side. When
she left the buggy she naturally picked
up the mail and holding it in her
hands climbed out of the buggy and
went to her death unsuspectingly. 1t
is possible that as soon rs the man had
coaxed her away from the buggy he
struck her down and that falling she
dropped the mail. Then he caught her
I'D in his arms and carried her into the
tall weeds that border the roadside
that she struggled to save herself is
shown by the trampled condition OF
the weeds. After the commission OF
the crime he beat and stabbed her to
death, for she knew him and he knew
that he would not be safe from de-
lection and retribution as long as she
lived. Near the point is n deep gulch
in which the murderer doubtless took
refuge after the deed was done. He
could follow it for n mile without de-
lection from anyone passing In the
main until night and under the cover
of darkness make his escape. The
horse, waiting for its driver, becoming
tired, walked slowly home, with the
line still wrapped around the whip and
the laprobe across the dashboard, just
as the girl had left them.
