Denver. Colo, April 1S.-A New
York dispatch says that when the
White Star liner Oceanic, which on
Tuesday arrived from Queenstown,
was on Sandy Hook lightship Wednes-
day morning, Robert o. Old, a
wealthy Colorado mining man, died OF
neuralgia of the heart. He was sew
enty-twO years old.
Mrs. Old, who was with her hus-
band on the voyage, will proceed at
once to Colorado, with the remains.
The Republican this morning says:
Robert Orchard Old was Mt one time
ing men in Colorado, although In these
latter days Of sudden Cripple Creek
millionaires his fortune appeared In
significant by comparison. His
wealth, his progressiveness and the
fact that over forty years he has been
resident Of the state, has given him
prominence enjoyed by but a few
Coloradoans.
His most valuable mineral holdings
at the time o. his death were the
Mendoza and Frostburg mines, the
Victoria tunnel and other properties at
Silver Plume, the Mineral Chief mine
on Republican mountain, below
Georgetown; the Ophir group at Sill
yer creek, and properties Of lesser i'm
portance in other camps.
Mr.. Old came of pure Saxon stock.
residing in England before the Nor
man invasion. His grandfather. Rob
crt, was born in Dorsetshire. and was
miller until Wellington annihilated
Napoleon Mt Waterloo, on which occa-
sion he served as an aldede-camp to
the famous commander. Mr.. Old's
father, Thomas c. died Mt the ripe
age of eightyfour, at Vineland, New
Jersey.
Robert Orchard was the Oldest Of
thirteen children, and had but one
brother, Thomas s., resident of
Georgetown, and one sister living III
England, surviving him. He was born
Mt ieovil, Somerset, October %, 1929,
and received the greater portion OF his
education Mt Broadway Hill.
He sailed from Albion In 1S47. land

two years. He looked over the situ-
alton In Michigan and Wisconsin and
not liking the prospect started n book
store in Chicago, and one in Elgin. H.

In Chicago In 1852 he became the local
editoc of the Courant. which later de-
veloped into the Times. at the spme
time handling the greater part OF the
circulation of the Chicago papers.
His first visit to the far West was
in 1857, when he toured through Ne

PIONEER DIES
ON STEAMSHIP OCEANIC

Undaunted, he decided to push still
further westward, and walking across
the plains In a forty-two-day trip, he
arrived In Denvxer, July Q. 1890. He
became associated with those who
helped to lay out Canon City, and ran
a general merchandise store there un-
til the activity of the rebel guerrillns
to the South stopped his trade. He
then plunged 100 miles further into
the mountains to the little mining
camp OF Montgomery, and later resid-
ed at the camps Of Gold Run and Still
son Patch in Summit county. Mr..
Old returned to Denver in 1854 and
ran u wholesale and retail merchan-
disc establishment at Fifteenth and
Wazee for two years.
About that time he commenced to
take decided interest in Colorado
mines. and While on visit to London
established the British and Colorado
Mining Bureau, which was operated
until 1872 In the spring Of GI he re-
turned from London and mined in GIL
pin county, and one year later went to
Georgetown and identified himself
with the Clear Creek mining interests.
Two years later, through his London
bureau, he sold the Terrible mine to
Iondoners for S5OOOOO, netting himself
a large profit. and still remaining man.
ager OF the property.
| He commenced the publication OF the
Colorado, U. S. A.. In 1872, turning out
10000 copies, and doing much to I'D
vcrtise the resources OF the state.
About this time he purchased the Dun
derberg mine, which yielded him over
100000, and later sold it to an Eng
lish syndicate for $GOO,o0O. Mr.. Old
then commenced the acquisition of the
famous Mendoza group OF mines Mt
Silver Plume, the sale of which was
rently negotiated to a Chicago syndi-
cate but without result.
The purpose of his return from Eng
land, wnere he had been for GONE
months recupcrating his health. was to
straighten out this sale. His death may
| cause the deal to fall through entirely.
Mr.. Old was married to Miss Annie
Il. Taylor at Elgin in 1855. She died
ten years later. He married Miss Ellen
Harvey. n native of Bath, England, in
October, 1866, by whom he had three
children: Carrie L.. now Mrs. Il. II.
Park OF Denver; John William, grad
uate OF the State School of Mines, and
his fathers assistant, and George Har-
vey, also connected with the Old min
Ing interests.
Mr.. Old has an ideal home south of
Georgetown mt the foot of Republican
mountain and Silver gulch, which is
famous for Its flowers and fruit In the
summer time Politically he was an
ardent member of the Peoples party.
He became n Mason Mt Elgin In 1865,
and was leading member OF the vari-
Gus Colorado Pioneer associations.

GOVERNOR ORMAN
SIGNS SEVERAL BILLS

Denver, Colo. April 1S.-The follow
ing bills have been signed by the gov
ernor:
S. b. 257, by Senator West of JEFF
ferson county, Is designed to add to
the secrecy of the ballot by preventing
the ready reading, through the paper,
of the number that Is pasted in one
corner before the voter pushes his
ballot in the box.
S. b. 3O5, by Senator Parks, abbre-
viates the boundaries of the city Of
Denver by setting outside the city
limits small tract of unplatted land.
S. Is. $50, by Senator Roe. gives the
Soldiers and Sailors Home $4,000 for
maintenance and $4,000 for new
buildings.
S. b. 1874, by Senator Seldomridge. to
appropriate $4,000 Tor the school for
the deaf and blind.
II. Il. 134, by Weldon. TO nppropri-
nte 5000 for n barn and for student
labor at the state agricultural college.
II. b. 132, by carringer, to approprl-
ate $4,000 for support, maintenance
and extensions OF the boys industrial
school in Golden.
s. j. II. Z, by Senator Taylor, to au-
thorize the attorney general and the
governor to select counsel to fight the
claims of Kansans to the waters Of the
Arkansas. The resolution authorizes
the work to be done, but there Is no
law which provides for the payment
of the attorneys or OF the expense for
filing or maintaining the suit. The
state of Kansas has done little bet
ter, for 1t gives Its attorneys $500.
The attorney general and the governor
will undoubtedly go ahead with the.
defense of the states claims to the
waters of the Arkansas and will bring
n relief bill before the Fourteenth
General Assembly for the payment of
whatever expense Is incurred In the
case.

Thereis alwaysa a great fascina ton connected with the settle ments of new countries or the new sections of old countries. Ever since the settlement of America a large percentage of the people have been classified as. pioncc~s-the men and the women-have been possessed with great nerve and persever- ance. They have loved to blaze their way through the forests and across the plains, or over the deserts to prepare the way for the coming civilization. The opportunities for new settle ments under the St2~c cr3 Stripes are not so plenty as they were half a century ago, and the opportunities are becoming fewer each year as thecountry becomes settled.

THE ALGODONES.

The Tucson Star says: The citizens of Yuma county are to be congratulated upon the pas sage of the bill protecting the bonafide settlers of the Algodo- nes Grant. The land will soon be thrown open for settlement, by order of the Department of the Interior, and then look for a mad rush for these lands, for there is not another such deSir- able tract of land in the United States as the AlgOdOnes. It is superb citrus land. It is located in the frostless belt of the south west. Fruits ripen one month earlier in that locality than in any part of California, or else where in the United States. There is an abundance of water constantly flowing through the Colorado river to irrigate millions of acres of land. This water is the richest for irrigation pur- poses of any water on earth, car rying twenty-five per cent more vitaliziDg clements than does the river Nile. Hence the import ance>of the bill just pass ed by Congress.
