The study OF the sponge rcids of
Florida Is to be undertaken by the gov
ernment with n view to developing an
important industry. Florida is the
only part OF the United States produc-
ing spongcs OF commercial value
There are $40 vessels with more than
1000 men employed in the industry.
and Il Is estimated that the l9O0-ls0j
crop will have n commercial value OF
ss5o.00o Sponges arc found on the
eastern and western coast. owing to
the equable temperature and moderate
depth OF the water. and the absence OF
fierce hurricanes. The sponge grounds
of the Gulf OF Mexico extend from the
Florida reefs to ST. Marks. and for a
distance OF fifteen miles from the
shore.

fy has made the most important oil
discovery of the past ten years. Last
Thursday noon he drilled in mighty
gushcr In Southeastern Texas, located
on n 4,SOOacre tract. eighteen miles
from Sabine pass, on the Sabine river,
and fourteen miles from Port Arthur,
In Jefferson county. No tankagc had
been provided and the oil runs into n
stream to the Sabine river. This well
Is located about 2lO miles southeast Of
the Corsican field, and the oil is the
same In specific gravity, about thirty
seven degrees. but was reached at n
depth of less than 1000 feet.
MIR. Gnlfy stated tonight that he
thought 1000 barrels day would be
conservative estimate of what the
well Is producing and he thought 1t
would reach 10000. which would make
1t the largest in the world.

The value OF the vegetables PRODUCED
in Colorado during the year 100 Is cs'
tImntcd mt about S3UJ.uD.
The Arkansas valley Il Justly famous
for Its cantaioupcs ana wn'crmelons.
The crop for 1900 was large and profit.
able, and WAS worth. according To sen
ntor Swink. mt least $50 per acre. In
some cases the net Income was over
$lOO nm acre.
AZ the lowest estimate the product
Of the t,OOO acres OF cantaloupcs and
wa,crmclons was worth $4,000. To
move this crop to market 200 cars
We're used-cnough to make train hrc
miles long.
This immense train was made up
into n great many sections. New York
md Pittsburg took most OF the crop.
Chicago. st. Louis and Kansas City
also took n liberal supply OF these
Rocky Fords."
The growers In the valley believe In
organization. and have four associa-
tions at Rocky Ford and one ut each
OF the following places: Pueblo. Fair
mount. La Juntn. Las Animas. Lamar.
Holly, ManZanola and Fowler.
But the Arkansas valley h not the
only place in Colorado where cantn-
loupcs are successfully grown. Grand

OF this toothsomc fruit OF the vine
and Arapahoc county Is taking the
Denver market from the Rocky Ford

The coming marriage OF the Prin-
cess Of the Asturias with the Neopoli-
tan Prince Charles Bourbon seems to
be causing much discomfort in Spanish
political circles. The princess is the
present heir of the King, who does not
attain his majority until seventeen
months hence. and debates in the
House of Deputies concerning the mat
ter are frequent. The general impress
sion now is that very few weeks are
likely to elapse before the government
