The fake National Concert
company" that held forth here last
week was the rankest imposition
upon the public that has come to
our notice for some time. You
paid Is cents and got to hear some
antiquated jokes and some very
bum singing, also dilation upon
their wonderful remedies. The
gullibility of our people in patron
izing the concern was surprising.
The old popular lady" deal was
worked to perfection, and the town
was by it skinned out of a couple
of hundred dollars. Other towns
should give the fraudulent crowd
notice to move on"

That interest in this section is
reviving at every point is evidenced
by the great number of inquiries
this office is constantly receiving
from eastern parties regarding this
locality. On Saturday we received
an order from E. Fl. Edwards, of
Bangor, Pa, for the PILOT. Mr.
Edwards stated that he was inter-
ested here in the early days, and
had resolved to try mining again.
He will come out here in the
spring with party of mining men
from Bangor whom have become
interested in our mineral resources.
That Crested Butte is entering up
on thriving era is beyond any
question, After darkness comes
sunshine.

Gunnison County Cattle.

Stock Inspector Chas. Biebel in
forms us that during the past
season (fall of '99), 1850 head of
cattle were marketed from Gun
nison county. AT the very low
estimate of S26 per head, net,
this would mean that our ranch
men and stock growers broaght
home with them the nice little sum
of S110,500. In addition to this
the cattle that have been slaughter
ed and consumed in the local
markets will amount to not less
than from $4,000 to $4,000. And
this is only one of our little in
dustries.-People's Champion.

Some of the big boys played a
good joke ON Jerry Olney Saturday.
They circulated hand bills to the
effect that Jerry would give a big
show at Geo. Wilson's on that
evening and that it would positive
ly be his last appearance in this
city. The bill was comical crea-
ton and elected much merriment.
About fifty gentlemen friends of
Mr.. Olney assembled at the appoint
ed place and at the proper time
and he treated them to a fine
gramaphone concert.

Louisville Dispatch Mr.. II. X,
Jones, the active engineer OF the
indianapolis Southern railroad, says
that unless some things unforeseen
occur, work will begin within thirty
days. The company has been vot-
ed subsidies in eighteen townships
in which surveys haze been made.
The subsidies amount to about
100000. The towns of Ferdinand,
Paoli, salem, Br, W lstown, Grand
view, Rockport Nashville and Ow
ensboro have guaranteed to build,
free of cost to the railroad, hand
some passenger and freight sta
tons.
The surveys made two weeks ago
develop that the road in Washing
ton county, will touch the Bedford
rock region, where the veins are
from twenty to sixty feet deep, and
a solid shaft, sixty feet in height
without seam or flaw may be cut
from the quarries. The coal fields
touched in Dubois and Spencer
counties are capable Of producing
coke as fine as that Of the celebrated
McConnellsville field. In Washing
ton county the Portland cement
stone field is unequaled anywhere.
In Brown county, sand stone, such
as is used in glass-works, is found
in almost inexhaustible quantities.
In Jackson county there are five
miles Of shale such as is used for Wit
ritied brick. The oolitc limestone
quarries in Washington county are
large enough to turn out 5000, 900
barrels of lime annually. The rail
road company has been figuring
OH these natural resources, because
the road will be largely one for
freight traffic, opening up as it does,
a closed field of Indidna's mineral
wealth. The capitalization scheme
is about completed.

On the editorial page of the Hartford Daily Courant of October 12 is an ar- ticle entitled "The Makeup of the Legislature" Said article tells the inn portanoe of nominating the best men as candidates for the legislature. and it states that in the election of the legisls- ture two years ago "A members were elected by pluralities so slight that a change of not over six votes in the town would have elected the other man and defeated each of those elected. The article urges voters to go to their party caucuses and nominate their best men because it is idle to look for good legis. lation from bad legislators.
