WYOMIN AND DENVER.

The chamber of and other
local organizations of that kind can
hardly find anything more worthy of
their consideration than an improve
ment in the relations betweeen Denver
and Wyoming.
The southern boundary of Wyoming
is nearer to Denver than Pueblo is,
and the distance required to reach Du-
ming would extend far into the inter
ior of that state OF for many miles
westward along the line of the Union
Pacific.
Wyoming. and particularly the
southern part. is territory in which
Denver may with good reason look for
trade, and one of the best ways to
profit by its proximity is to establish
relations OF friendship and goodwill
between its people and our business
men. Denver should always take az
interest in whatever may promote the
material development and welfare OF
Wyoming. investing capital where
needed and joining i'll advertising the
resources of the country, When Wyo.
ming people find that in Denver they
have a warm friend they will not be
slow to respond.
In proportion to the degree hat Den
yer aspires to be considered the com
mercial and financial center of the
Rocky Mountains, it should be ready
to extend its sympathy and it's aid
The people living in the surrounding
country. whether within or outside tho
limits of Colorado, should be made tt
feel that in Denver's prosperity mi
growth they may take pride, since in
measure it is their city, and the!
have helped to make it what it is

Very few persons leave such progeny
as the late Mrs. Mary Taylor, who was
buried recently at Lancaster. She had
ten children. more than a hundred
grandchildren and fifty great-grand.
children. Around her gravesile were
a hundred descendants. But a still
more remarkable case is recorded by
Lord George Lyttleton in his "Miscel-
laneous Works. in an account of a
tour in Wales. He mentions the death
of a Welsh farmer, near Festiniog, at
the ripe age of 1O5. The Welshman
had married three times. BY his first
wife he had thirty children. Not de-
tered by this family. he married
again, and had ten by his second. BY
his third wife he brought the children
to forty-four. the last child being
eighty-one years younger than the eld-
est. At the farmers funeral there was
an attendance Of 500 DEFENDANTS.

SPECULATION CAUSED HIS RUIN
American Career of European DipIe
mat Ended IuRiortously.

America an CAreor Of European Dlpl0-
mat Ended InEioriousiy.
Portugal has a new minister to this
country. He Is a man Of fine appear
ance, polished manners and long ex-
perience as a diplonatist. 1t is to be
hoped that his career here will be hap
pier than those Of his immediate pred
ecessOrs.
Ten years back the little kingdom
of Portugal was represented by Souza
Rosa. who was the Apollo Of the Dip
lomatic Corps. the most popular man
in society of that day. whose dinners
and little suppers, whose languishing
eyes and fascinating ways are still re-
membered. But the handsome Souza
had need of money. His salary and al
lowances fell far short Of supporting
the establishment he maintained here
and he ATTEMPTED to increase his re,
sources by gambling in Wall street, re-
ceiving tips from the beautiful wife Of
a noted senator.
All went we'll at first, money came
flowing into the Golfers Of the diplo-
matist. there were many more dinners
given in his bachelor apartments,
many more little suppers. But one day
poor Souza got caught, was sold out
and found himself thousands of dol
lars in debt.
There was only n thing TO be done
to sell all he had and ask for his re-
call, and this he did as speedily as cir
cumstances would allow. The king of
Portugal and the queen, who is said
to be very fond Of her handsome com
patriot, saw to it that Sousa Rosa did
not suffer by his indiscretion, and
caused him to be transferred to Paris.
where there are no beautiful wives of
senators to give him tips and no wick
ed American stock brokers, and where
he has lived in happiness and content
ment since his unfortunate American
experience.

That Senator Thomas c. Plat finds

to New York from Washington, the

for a local paper while walking on the
street met him accidentally. and, with
the longing for an Interview pc
culiar to his kind, saluted him with:

FOR LARGER MINING CLAIMS.

Senator Kearns of Utah, from the
committee on mines and mining, has
reported a bill amending laws relating
to the location of mineral lands.
The amendment gives the locaters
exclusive right OF possession of all sur.
lace land within their lines, and AL
veins, lodes, etc." throughout the en-
tire depth which lie within surface
lines, extending downward vertically.
Locations are to be 1900 feet square

n do not prevent. The existing le-
gal provision concerning tunnels is re-
pealed.
The present law in regard to loca-
tons gives an area OF 600 by 1900
feet, but permits owners to follow the
vein outside the lines. The effect of
the proposed amendment would be to-
extend the are and conhne mining
