Hard Money Only.

The State treasury vaults now
contain nothing but metallic cur
rency, there being no paper money
of any kind or description on hand.
This condition is quite unusual, espe-
cially as there is nearly a quarter of
a million dollars in the vaults. The
bulk of this money is silver coin and
tome gold. Persons who have war
rants amounting to any great sum
have to carry the heavy metal with
them. Treasurer Carlisle prefers to
have the metal money on hand, as it
does not present a very inviting pic
ture to the burglar trade. A man
could not carry away enough silver
to induce him to take such chances
as a raid on the treasury would re-
quire.

Walnut stumps have assumed an
unlooked-for value in Tennessee,
where an Indiana firm has been buy
ing all that it can lay hands upon.
The stump of a tree felled several
years ago consequently brought
more than its trunk and branches
formerly did. The uglier and knot
tier the stump the better the price.
1t is said hat the stumps are used
in making veneering material used
in the manufacture of ~high-grade
furniture.

One of the native rulers of India,
who was educated in England, has
issued a decree permitting the re-
marriage of widows. When it is
known that in India there are more
than 100000 widows, many of them
children under ten years of age, and
that the condition of widowhood is
virtual slavery, the significance of
this decree as an entering wedge in
removing one of the curses of India
its child widows-is plainly appar-
ent.

L. Junts OIL Well.

c. II. McVey, the Hibernian oil
expert, was in town yesterday and
visited the La unta oil well to see
how the work was progressing.
The well has now reached depth
of about 1000 feet, and every
thing is progressing satisfactorily,
the only drawback being that the
supply OF water encountered at the
second sand has been leased off"
completely, and hauling water
from town has been resumed. The
La Junta and Manzanola wells,
geologically speaking. are the
same depth, although the Mama
nola we'll is SIS feet deeper than
the La Junta well. The second
dakota, in the La Junta well, was
reached at depth of IT'S feet, and
in the Manzanola we'll at 1850
feet, the "dip" averaging about
thirty five feet to the mile.
MIR. McVey says that the Otero
and Bradford wells in the Boulder
district are still the best wells in
the district The Bradford was
"shot" last week and there is now
1000 feet of oil in the well. The
Otero is being pumped constantly
and averaging about $50 barrels
per day. Stock in the Otero is
now being sold in Boulder at 10

The democrats Of Colorado were
formerly an inappreciabie guam
tity, The party name stood in
variably for a sacrifice, and each
election was a hopeless struggle
until the ali-powerful republican
enemy bad been beaten by popu-
lism when persons calling them
selves democrats were fused into
Office.
AT the recent state convention
the beneficiaries of fusion evinced
their gratitude by rejecting fusion.
but this exhibition Of indepen-
dence does not indicate that their
convention vas dominated by the
true and tried veterans who voted
for Tilden in 1876. Evidently
something has stuck from the
mixture with populists and silver
republicans, and the piebsld as.
