Colorado is receiving its quota
of the prosperity that has extended
over the country in. the past few
years. From every part OF the
state comes a similar story of de-
velopment and progress along many
and varied lines. One of the most
noteworthy instances of the change
that is even now taking place is
to. be found in the increased value
of Colorado railway and industrial
stocks for the past six months.
During that period Colorado d
Southern, d. & K. g., and G. F. d
l., stocks show an average increase
in value of 90 per cent, and that
appreciation has been from level
very much above the prices of
poor times.

THE TWO RIVERS.

"There's river called Luck that
runs through our lives, but her
flood, it is sluggish and slow; and
the treasures, which by her false
current arrives, will never make
very much show. And the man
who sits down by her treacherous
shore, vainly hoping his fortune to
win, will wait till his locks are
frosty with hoar, for his ship-it
will never come in. Bat fair
other stream is the River of Work
ON her swelling and vigorous
tide no place is reserved for the
drone and the shirk-they must
loiter and die by her side. And
the man who with confidence, bold
ness and pluck, embarks on her
affluent breast, will sail smoothly
on and catch up with his luck,
by generous fortune caressed. =

LAW AND HUMANITY.

The jury that found T. G.. Bar
ker guilty of murderous assault in
a New Jersey court acted strictly
according to statute law, but ignor-
ed the higher unwritten law to
which all mankind appeals in sim
liar instances. Barker had the
best reason to believe that Keller
had entered his home in his absence
and had done that which dooms
men to the vengeance of an outraged
husband. For acting as the first
principles of nature have prompted
him, he stands convicted by the
human law, but acquitted by the
law of nature. AS the strict rules
of New Jersey practice permitted
no further investigation than the
immediate provocation, the desc
orator of firesides was vindicated,
while his victim is to be still more
Inundated. This stringent law,
interpreted by an inexorable judge,
upheld by jury bound and gagged
with instructions, has done just
what it was intended to do. or it
has disappointed those who framed
it. 1t is sad case. AS one con-
templates the consequences of ex-
Guiding testimony of crime such
as that which drove Barker to des-
peration, the last vestige of pro-
lection for our firesides against
such human parasites as Keller,
seems to have been removed.
There is something in the action of
the authorities in this case that
causes everyone who reads the
proceedings to wonder if there is
such thing on the American soil

OFF co THE STAMPS.

People generally will hail the day
when the internal revenue STAMP
will bother them no more A gooC
many of these stamps will cease tc
be of use after July l. The gen.
eral public is especially interested
in the bank check stamps, and
the stamps on telegraph messages
and express receipts. These taxes
are all repealed and altogether the
revenue stamps on twenty-six ar
ticles are to be abolished with the
close of the month.
1t is estimated that as result of
this change there will be a reduc-
ton in the government annual rev.
erue of from S40,OOO,O0O to $45,-
100000. The latest circular issued
by the department relative to the
redemption of revenue stamps
states that the stamps will be re-
deemed when presented in guam
titles of 50 or more, face value, but
no claim will be allowed unless pre-
sented within two years after the
purchase of the stamps from the
government.
Claims for the redemption of
stamps must be prepared in the
district where the claimant resides
and forwarded by the collector of
of that district to the internal rev.
enue bureau at Washington. The
circular further states that under
the law and regulations all stamped
instruments and all imprinted
checks, drafts, etc. presented for
the redemption of stamps thereon
must, when the the stamps are re-
deemed, be retained with the claim;
therefore no such instrument can
be returned to the owners thereof" !"
We publish this fact as matter
of good news, and also to inform
PILOT readers how they are to pro-
ceed to redeem any stamps they
may have on hand when the same
become useless. Our only regret
is that there will still be uses for
revenue stamps after July l. But
another year may do away with all
of them.

MINING ON THE ASCENDENcY.

| Inc ume OF year has arrived
when "Jack trains" and Grub
stakes" are the most talked of
things in the English language, that
is, so far as the Elk Mountain
country is concerned. Prospectors
from all parts of the country. are
drifting into town, and wistfully
scanning the peaks to ascertain if
the snow has left that particular
spot, beneath which they are sure
a fortune awaits their coming.
But the snow has lasted longer
than usual this spring and those
who have properties that lie near
the summit of the ranges, have
lost considerable time on account
of bad weather. Unusual interest
is being manifested in the Gothic
district and several claims near the
town are being worked, while Rust
ler Gulch, and the Copper Queen
Basin properties are being over
hauled preparatory to beginning
work. Pittsburg is also coming in
for a share of the summers work,
and quite number of mining men
have already visited that vicinity,
and those who have property in
those parts anticipate a revival in
that once busy and prosperous
camp. Irwin is busy, and while
there is no boom in the strict sense
of the word, there is a steady
growth of business, and good ship
ments will be made during the
summer from several properties.
A great many new claims have been
located throughout the country,
and assessments are furnishing
employment for number OF min
ers. If surface indications go for
anything, there is no doubt but
that large bodies of ore exist
throughout the Elk Mountain
region. The trouble with mining
in this part of the country, has been
the tendency to locate all claims on
or near the apex of the veins. The
country is heavily capped, and as
all mineral leads show better, or
are more easily found near the
junction of the cap rock and lower
formations, ninety per cent of the
claims located in this region have
never attained any considerable
depth. AS all precious metals pre-
cipitate and seek the deeper
ground, it is no wonder that those
claims on the apex of the lodes
show large per cent of the baser
metals. Owing to great amount of
alluvial soil, and the hindrance
caused by slide rock, trenching and
prospecting for the veins at point
where they could be tapped at a
depth of several hundred feet, has
always been avoided. Mining
men have just begun to realize
this fact, and it is hoped that adj
vantage will be taken OF the local.
ties which offer excellent oppor
tunities for deep mining.

Judge Palmer and the preachers
of Denver are at present involved
in little controversy, and curious
ly eaough, no points in dogmatic
theology are at issue, either. The
trouble in the first place was due
to the fact that Judge Palmer be-
came too logical in his reasoning.
When the law placed man and
woman upon basis of equality so
far as suffrage was concerned, the
eminent jurist held that all legal
distinctions were obliterated and
that a woman could drink out of a
schooner with as much impunity
!, as a man 1t was not question
of law, being altogether matter
6f taste in which the law was not
concerned. The pulpit can anath-
ematize the bench when it errs,
but the bench can effectively re-
taliate, for contempt of court" can
be made to carry divers pains and
penalties.
