Gold Accumulation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE gross
gold in the treasury to-day" said Ellis
III. Roberts, United States treasurer,
sis $3.50. 709,O05, breaking all records.
AT the end of March, 1899, the treas
ury held S32S, 293, ,9O1, which was the
largest sum accumulated during any
administration in recent years until
within the last two or three years.
Our immense gold holdings are due, of
course, to the great prosperity of the
country, to the increased production Of
gold in all directions, and in large part
to the fact that the United States is
now the creditor nation of the world"
Mr.. Roberts thought that for the
present ut least there would continue
to be an increase in the the treasury
holdings of gold, but 1t might be re-
duced somewhat should the reduction
of the war revenue taxes be so heavy
as to run the expenditures close to the
receipts.

FARMERS COMING
TO COLORADO

Denver, Colo. Jan. 7.-"There is an
astonishing number of inquiries con-
cerning farming and ranch lands in
Colorado and adjoining states this
winter" remarked Land Agent Want
land of the Union Pacific road to a
News reporter. Enquiries are arriving
from all parts of the country and espe-
cially from the colder regions of the
northern states, where people appre
ciate the advantages of more eQuable
climate. The chilly winters are freeZ-
ing them out and they want to come to
Colorado. Last year probably 5000
600 acres of ranch land We're disposed
of in the mountain states and the sales
will be much larger this year. A dis
tinct movement, started last year, is
growing like snow ball rolling down
hill"
Mr.. Wantland says colonization is not
popular as applied to lands in this
state, but colonies are forming in sew
eral of the eastern states to settle in
Idaho. The cultivation of the sugar
beet is the only occupation in Colorado
holding out special inducements to en-
tire colonies. The small percentage al
lowed agents who attempt the colony
system is another objection against the
movement of large numbers of people
in one body. The agent would rather
take his chances in conducting west
ward n carload of eastern farmers in
easy circumstances than to land 100
families of colonists who require assist
ance during the first year after arriv-
ing at their new homes. The class of
farmers willing to break away from
old ties in the East for Il wider field
under the Italian skies of Colorado is
improving each year. One land agent
has on his books the names of 800
families he has brought to Colorado.
''In the entire list" said he, there is

p. ID. Armour's Wealth.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Referring to Mr..
Armour's fortune, the Chicago Chroni-
Gle says:
"Mr. Armour's wealth is subject
that may never be accurately known.
1t is estimated to be not less than $780,
100000 and by some is said to exceed
S5O,OOO.OOO. The combined wealth of
the Chicago Armours is fixed at $780,
100000 In one sense the total Is the
wealth of Philip ID. Armour, but just
how much has been carried in his name
and how much in the name of his sons
is unknown. He has not been n bor-
rover. He has always been able to
pay cash for his purchases, and he has
never asked customer to discount
bill.
I'm his great wheat deals he has al
ways had ready cash.. In times OF
panic he has showed vast resources in
spot cash. In 1898, when n run was
made upon the banks of Chicago and
the credit of the city and the fate of
the exposition was hanging in the bal
ance, Philip ID. Armour bought half
n million dollars of gold in Europe and
offered help to the big institutions OF
the city from his cash resources In Chi
cago. With business of $1OO,OOO,OOO
a year in the packing department
alone, grain business of half that
amount and practically the owner of
great railway system, the estimates of
his wealth ut the utmost figure appear
modest instead of exaggerated.

that the police In the streets have had
to be frequently relieved and the
schools TO be closed. At Moscow the
temperature Is thirty degrees below

Tremendous gales are blowing over

GREAT RAILWAY
CONSOLIDATION

st. Paul, Minn., Jan. 5.-While no
confirmation could be obtained here
from an authoritative source of the re-
ported combination Of the Northern
Pacific. Great Northern and Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroads, 1t Is
the general belief in well Informed rail-
way circles that the deal, If not al-
ready accomplished in fact, Is In pro-
cess of confirmation.
President James J. Hill Of the Great
Northern was naturally disinclined to
talk upon the subject for publication,
but In the course of an interview he
had this to say:
II have made no loan In Montreal.
Does 1t not stand to reason that If
needed money, ! can get It without go
ing to Canada? No deal by which we
get control of any western line has
been consummated yet. / will say,
however. that some of the big lines
hope, by getting together, to reduce
working expenses"
Mr.. Hill does not state that there is
no deal under way. The announce
ment was made semi-oilicially to-day,
ana the information did not come from
n New York source that the big deal
by which the Hill Morgan Il ock efeller
interests Were to secure control of the
Northern Pacific and st. Paul roada Is
practically consummated, and that in
side of a month the system will be In
