ORE CONDITIONS
CONSIDERED GOOD.
The Gold Coin at Cripple Creek Ex-
PerienCing Similar Conditions to
Those Found in the Old Abe.

OON,O
Investment company, in speaking
of the condition of the Gold Coin
mine today, made a statement of
the utmost significance as touch
ing the future both of that great
mine and the Cripple Creek dis
trict. He said: Our ore is
gradually but surely changing
from a tulluride of gold to a sui
phide of gold. The change has
been going on gradually for some
months past, in fact we have al
ways found more or less sulphides
on the way down. The point is,
the sulphides are increasing,
while theatellurides are gradually
disappearing. lean also say that
we note that the general average
of our ore is increasing as greater
depth is attained.
What is the character of the
sulphide?' was asked.
1T is a white iron sulphide,
he answered, and the veins are
getting more permanent and rich
er.'
This is very significant, for
anyone having a general knowl-
edge of mining knows that all
permanent camps have to fall
back on the sulphides for lasting
qualities. That is, gold seems tc
be associated the world over more
generally with sulphides and ir
a more permanent form than II
connection with tellurides. There
fore the change of Cripple Greek
from telluride camp to a sui
phide amp, as depth is revealing
the fact to be, argues well for al
future time. It is learned tina
the Portland and Last Dollal
particularly, and the other mines
of the district as they are one by
one getting deeper, are finding
out that what is transpiring il
the Gold Coin is their experience
also. Gold te1lurides result il
very snowy ore bodies, as wa
seen last week in the Elkton
when such deposit of sylvanit
was opened in the 700-foot level
but all such fabulous bodies ar
more or less treacherous, and tn
good miner would rather have ;
steady body of sulphides than an.
other form of ore"
This same condition prevail
in the Old Abe as regards tn
change to Sulphide ores wit
depth, except that the change ha
been from a free-milling quart
to the sulphide ores with the sam
features of white iron, as are de
scribed in the foregoing article

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Contest Between "A Spider and Cater
pillar in Which tn ArachRidaR
Was Victorious.

An exciting battle between a spider
and a caterpillar, which lasted nearly
an hour, was witnessed by crowd of
men and boys in West Manayunk, Pa.
The spider won the contest after los
ing two legs.
The fight occurred on a rail fence
on William Shindle's farm. Two boys
were attracted by the combat, and
gradually the audience grew until
there were about so spectators. Many
wagers were made on the result, the
spider being the favOrite. 1t is be-
lieyed that the fight was caused by the
caterpillar getting caught in the spi-
der's web.
Being wedged in the meshes of its
antagonists parlor, the caterpillar
was at great disadvantage, and could
only fight from the one spot, while
the spider could slide up and down

but he did not recognize il without the
tail. The case was TO have come 10
hearing the other morning, but at the
appointed hour Campbell appeared,
withdrew the suit and paid the costs.
He then explained the reason TO Alder
man Means.
Early in the week Campbell bought
COW from John McGuire, who, he
said, lives in FrankstOwn road. He
brought the cow home and turned her
loose in his garden, but was astonished
in the morning 10 find what appeared
TO be a strange cow in his patch. The
animal had no tail He was told by
some neighbors that the animal be-
longed TO Meller, and the same morn
ing he entered suit before Alderman
Means. He also chased the COW out.
When he returned TO figure up the ex-
tent of damage done in his garden he
found a cows tail with bits of rawhide
sticking TO it. This and other infOrma-
tion convinced Campbell that the cow
was the one he had bought, and which
had switched off her tail. For this rea-
son he withdrew the suit.

IN APPEAL.

Every effort has been made bV State
and National Organizations 10 inaug-
urate plans and methods 10 cure the
evils that have taken a hold of the
minds of the American people and
even permitted every Southern legiS-
lauve body in violation Of the Ameri-
can Constitution and the law govern
ing law and order, pass unCOnstltution-
al laws. What methods, therefore
mus. the negro adopt 10 protect him
self. Shall he appeal 10 the shotgun?
No. Shall he use force? No. The
BEE would suggest that a representa-
tive conference be held in the District
on or about the middle or latter part
OF November and through that con
ference let the American people make
an appeal to thu President and the
President TO the Congress of tie
United States There sh uld be
something done at once to ameiiorate
the condition OF the negro In this
country. Il IS hoped that the entire
press Of the country WILL take hold
Of this matter and do ali IN its power
TO pnt this movement on foot. Let
this conference he void of politics en-
tirely. Th7re ShOHid not be the least
reference 10 politics but, simply meth
DDS TO be adopted, where By the Pres
ident and the Congress OF the United
States could adopt such methods TO
protect all classes of American Citi-
Zens. IL IS hoped that The churches
through out the country will take an
interest in this subject and do all in
their power to make his gathering a
success. There IS every reason TO be-
lieve that the better element OF the
American people Is opposed TO the
methods adopted by the mob in JuSti
fying such acts thai are perpetra, ed by
said mob in satistyitg z the ends OF
Justice. The BEE maintains that mob
law is in violation Of the Constitution
of the United States and II never
was intended by The f.amerS of the Con
stitution OF the United states, that the
violators Of the law Snou q 90 unpun-
ished. The American Negro doStn't

The negro, IS an American citizen,
and while there are some, who don't

others who are just As patriotic, hon

may be charged with. Those who
have the laws TO make and the power
to'eXecute them shou d be able TO dis
Crimiuate between those who are good
and those who are bad. Therefore,
the American people are appealed TO
take such action IN this call that they
deem best and wise. 1t is proposed
TO have this conference of representa-
tive citizens from throughout the
country to assemble, IN National Con-
fernce on or about the latter part Of
November 1901 and adopt such an ad-
dress to the American people through
the President Of the United States and
Congress. Those who favor such a
movement will so Indicate X. by ad-
dressing the Editor OF The Bee,

Of politics will please give this call
