Growth of Cities 1seo-1eoo.
New York SUM.


BY the census of 1880 there were
$50 cities or towns in the United
States having more than 4 900 popu
lation and the total number of inhab
itants in these towns and cities was
l2,OOO,00O, or one-quarter of the whole
population of the country at that time
In 1890 there We're 905 cities or towns
in the United States having more than
4 1000 population each making up a
total of 20,000.000. or one-third of the
whole population of the country at
that time, the percentage of city popu-
lation being steadily on the increase.
The combined population of the cities
and towns of the United States having
more than 1000 population was 49,
of the total population of the country.
There are now 10.602 incorporated
towns or cities in the United States of
which 3S have more than 100000 pop.
ulation each.
Among the states, Illinois leads with
$50 Incorporated towns and Pennsyl-
vania follows with S33. New York
lids 100, 90 per cent Vi Iue people VI
the Empire state living in the cities
and towns. In six other states, Mass
achusetts, Illinois. Rhode Island, Penn.
sylvania, Colorado and Connecticut,
more than two-thirds of the peape
live in the incorporated cities and
towns. Mississippi has the smallest
percentage of its people living in the
cities and towns. American states
which do not contain any cities having
a population as high as $4,000 are
Mississippi, North Carolina Vermont
Nevada, Wyoming. North Dakota,
South Dakota and Idaho. Massachu-
setts has 20 towns of more than 25.-
900 population each. New York
has only l2; New York. Buffalo. Au-
burn, Binghampton. Elmira. Rochester.
Schenectady, Syracuse, Troy. Utica
and Yonkers.
The general tendency of the people
of the United States is to congregate
and to a greater extent each year in
the large cities, and the evelopment of
superior railroad connections has re-
tarded the increase of population in
some of the "backwoods" districts
while stimulating it in the minor
towns.

sILvERToN-EUREkA STAGE LINE.

The good old days have come again
for Eureka. Her prosperity is thing
of the present. while steady growth
and development of the abundant re-
sources round about her indicate a
stiil more brilliant future. Proper
ties that have lain idle for years are
now being worked. improvements
and buildings are being erected. A
new impetus has been given to bus
mess conditions The various
means of transportation are being used
to their fullest capacity
One of the chief of these means of
transportation is the SilvertonE Eureka
stage line, owned by Messrs. Charles
Hale and Jim Moffat. Its headquar-
ters are in Silverton, where Mr.. Hale
resides. Daily. including Sundays,
the stage leaves for Eureka, making
the round trip to Silverton the same
day. The owners of the line have
made every effort to secure comfort
able, easy-riding vehicles and good
cams. Mr.. Hale also has the con-
tract for carrying the mail and drives
he stage himself Mr. Moffat
remains in Eureka, in charge of the
livery stable, general freighting and
backing Office, which the firm owns at
that place In rigs and saddle horses
the owners can compete with any.
not only with respect to vehicles and
'eams sent ont from the stable. but al
so In prices Messrs. Hale e. Mof-
TAT guarantee to their patrons the fin
est kind of accommodations in the
livery line, at most reasonable rates.
Strong teams for freighting and haul
ing machinery or other heavy loads
may be procured at their stables.
Burro trains for packing articles to the
mines or to any points in the vicin-
ity are always on hand.
In short, the Eureka stage
line, livery, general freighting and
packing stables are fully equipped to
take care of any amount of business.
Anyone making the trip from Sill
verton to Eureka. or vice versa. will
find 1t both pleasant and profitable to
make II by stage. The owners are
very accommodating as well as
thoughtful to provide their passengers
comfort. At the Eureka stables any.
thing in the way of accommodations
for travel and transport to the mines
may be found. There is every con-
venience at the lowest possible rate
