Gilpin County has added
another year to its history and
shows a good healthy increase
in its production of the prec-
ious metals, keeping up the
old time record of a steady
producing camp, and makes a
most decided gain over pre-
vious years, and has now pas
sed the $780, 900 mark in
its production. Several of the
larger mines have not worked
continuously throughout the
year, but so many OF smaller
properties have started up to
more than make up any def.
cheney. Now at the beginning
of the new year the prospects
are bright for a most marked
increase in the county's pro-
duction. Tho larger mines are
all getting in shape for a good
production, and any number
6f the smaller properties are
prepared to give a good ac-
count Of themselves. Among
the principal producers are

mine building on the Buell. property in
this city. as also large stone power
house which encloses powerful hoist
ing plant. The east portion Of the main
building will contain a 45 rapid-drop
stamp mill, the foundation for tho the
batteries being in readiness. The un-
watering OF the Buell. mine workings
was slow task as well as retimbering it,
as the workings had been undcr water
for several years. The manager, Mr..
Martin, after getting the property in
shape, can easily maintain an output OF
ore sufficient TO keep the As stamps con-

gain over the previous year.
Colorado is credited with a
production of $5S, S,s47,,797, an
increase of $7,7Ol,192 over the
year previous. In 1892 the
production was $31, 1,497,2O7,
showing a gain in the past
nine years of S26,650,59O. It
is indeed a remarkable show.
ing when one stops to consider
that the production in '92 was
two thirds silver, and that of
last year was two thirds gold,
showing that although in '93
Colorado was badly crippled
by her silver mines being COM
PEELED to close, yet her re-
sources are so great that in
nine years the production is
almost double.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Weather Favorable for Louisi
ana Crops.

Generally fair weather prevailed
throughout the week, although there
were scattersd showers in the sections
where rain was needed, and drouthy
conditions were generally overcome.
The temperature has been high
throughout the State. There has been
a daily EXCESS in temperature ranging
4 degrees over the southern portion of
the State to 8 degrees over the north
ern portion.
The weeks weather has been, as a
whole, favorable for the cotton crop.
Showers occurred over the northeast
ern portion of the State, and relieved
the threatened drouth in that section.
Heavy rains in the extrerpe northw west
ern parishes overffowed lowlands and
dam aged some cotton. Lice have in
jured cotton in Rapldes parish and ne
cessitated some replanting. AS rule,
however, cotton is making good growth
and is promising for the season.
Dry weather prevails over the ex-
treme eastern portion of the sugar
growing region, but cane is not vet
suffering, while elsewhere the weather
has been favorable for the growth of
the cane crop. Where moisture has
been sufficient, the warm weather has
promoted rapid growth. The plant
generally looks healthy.
The weather has been generally fa-
vorable for the rice crop which is large.
Planting is now nearly completed in all
parts of the State. Early planted rice
| is up to good stands and looks we'll,
and recent planting is coming up to
good stands.
Corn has made excellent growth.
The crop is in good state of cultiva-
tion. The weeks weather has been
favorable for corn, except over some
northern parishes. Early corn was
blown down by high winds. The bulk
of the crop has been plowed the last
time.
Gardens are excellent, except over
the extreme southeast portion of
the State where dry weather is cutting
the yield The cucumber crop is ex
cellent. Oat harvest has commenced
in the southern parishes and the crop
| is maturing over the northern portion
of the State, with prospects for good
yield. Good progress is being made
transplanting sweet potatoes. The
fruit outlook is generally good.
