ASSAY OFFICES BLOWN Up
CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO.
several Assay offices Doing Be.iness
In the District Were Blown In nv
Dynam fte-Much Damage Done
Several Persons blown Out Of Bed
-Cauae Of Trouble.

Victor, Col, Feb. 25.-cripple Creek is
in a state Of terror, owing to a precon-
certed attack upon assay offices doing
business in the district. beginning at 3
o'clock in the morning and following in
rapid succession six explosions wrecked
as many assay offices in Victor, Cripple
Creek and Gold Field. The raiders did
not hesitate to jeopardize life, as all but
one of the buildings were occupied by
sleeping families. Men. women and chill
dIen were hurled out OF their beds by the
shocks and serious injuries inflicted. The
full extent of the damage can not be esti-
ma ted.
In this city the Davenport office was
wrecked by two explosions, involving a
loss of Sl20O. Almost at the same time
the assay offices of Vanderwalker, Nor
gan and Williams were similarly de-
stroyed. The loss was approximately as
large as at Davenport's. A miner was
passing Williams office at the moment
of the explosion. Flying debris struck
him in the face, gashing his eyes, and may
result in total blindness.
In Cripple Creek Benjamin's assay
office, located on Exina street, north of the
Florence 4 Cripple Creek depot, was
blown up, but was only partially wrecked
In the town Of Gold Field, about mile
and half north of here, almost stimuli
taneously Boyce's and Swinehart's offices
were blown up. Mrs. Boyce was blown
out Of bed, but escaped without fatal in
juries.
A family living in the other assay office
was also blown out of bed, but fortunately
escaped serious injury. The giant pow
der was blown through the windows at
Gold FieldA
In this city the powder was placed un-
der the building. The house in which
family lived next to Williams assay office
here was much damaged and q woman
was prostrated by the shock and 10 at
present hysterical.
Sheriff Robertson has called his depu-
ties, and his force is taking all means to
diacover If possible the perpetrators Of the
crimes.
The general impression here this morn
ing 10 that the acts are the result Of q
general movement to rid the district Of all
institutions which buy high grade ore in
small quantities. The big mines Of the
district, 1t Is alleged. have been systemati-
cally robbed Of much rich ore, and SO to
100 aasayers, it i said. have made hand
some profits by dealing in this ore The
mine owners association recently discov-
cred that high grade ore was being shipped
by assayers from this district to smeiter
at Salt Lake and to the Selby smeIter at
San Francisco. but all their efforts to
stop the traffic were unavailing.

charge Of the arrangements ut the depot,
and Count Quadt and two other attaches
from the German embassy awaited the ar
rival Of the train 1t the depot. They re-
mained in an improvised reception room,
the walls Of which were heavily draped
with INTERVIEWING American and German
flags. The atmosphere was raaolent with
the fragrance Of flowers. The embassy
officials were in full uniform. A bugle
call by navy artilleryman announced the
arrival Of the train. It was halted just
outside the depot, the engine detached and
the cars backed to position opposite the
receiving room, midway down the train
shed. The welcoming party passed quick
" into the princes car and informally ex-
tended to him the welcome Of the city.
A few moments later the party emerged
and passed to the reception room. Com
'mander Cowlea, President Roosevelt's
brother in law, and Adjutant General Cor
bin were the hrst to alight, and the prince
was not far behind them. Walking rapid
" and with the erect bearing Of trained
naval officer past the group Of officials,
detectives and newspaper men, through =
double line Of whom he passed, aalutin9
with touch Of his hand to the siittesing
chapeau he wore. he crossed the carpeted
depot iale and entered the reception room.
There he remained 10 minutes Assistant
Secretary Pearce and Chief Wilkie stood
at the door while the prince was waiting.
Finally Prince Henry. accompanied By
Secretary Hay and Rear Admiral Evans,
entered the last Of the open carriages.
The carriages Of the others were drawn
up in lima, and tn prince's carriage
dashed at rapid speed to the had Of the
column. Instantly the police and mill
tary escorts wheeled into position and
the party started up Peansylvania avenue
for the White house.
Rarely in its history has the White

spectacle than Monday. when President
Roosevelt welcomed to the United States

THE FRUITS OF FINEST FLAVOR.

varieties are noted. Six.year old
Concords yield sixty pounds to the
vine.
Practically all Of the plum and
prune families are represented--the
San Juan cap sheaf and crown Of
this fruit being the superb Prunes
Simona, which reaches the size of
tomato and combines the aroma
and flavor Of the musk melon and
the banana.
San Juan county is becoming
known as one of the great fruit
sections of the southwest, unsur-
passed by California. Fruits have
a fine rich flavor. and for shipping
and keeping qualities are unexcell-
ed. During the fall of 1000 there
were shipped from San Jurn county
alone 100 cars of winter apples to
the city Of Chicago, most of which
were handled by the firm Of Porter
Brothers. Most of this fruit, after
reaching Chicago, was sorted,
packed and exported to foreign
countries, A famous label of a
train load Of apples from San Juan
county was: " A million apples, and
not single worn"
One II-year-old orchard yielded
an average of twelve ffty-pound
boxes to the tree last year, worth
from 40 to- 90 cents a box on the
packing table, the buyers doing
their own packing, With 1ootrees
to the acre, such an orchard yields
snug income. The trees begin to
yield paying crops the third year
from settling. Premiums are won
wherever this fruit has been exhib-
tied, especially in competition with
Colorado and California fruit.
The San Juan County index. (Aztec, N.M.) 1890-19??, 1902-06-13

In dealing with the subject Of
San Juan county's famous fruit
yields, a recent bulletin of the terri
torial bureau of immigration says:
San Juan fruit includes apples,
peaches. pears, plums. prunes, april
cots, nectarines, cherries, grapes
and all of the berries, orchards
ranging from ten to eighty acres.
Apples and peaches bring one cent
per pound on the orchard delivery
table, with a yield per tree for
peaches from 600 to 500 pounds
and apples from 500 to 1900
pounds, with exceptional apple
trees climbing as high as g.
600 pounds. In apple production
twenty ounce apples are not rare,
the largest individual apple ever
grown in the valley weighing 28H
ounces, while the crack San Juan
premium box Of this fruit con-
tanned "a apples with anI aggre-
gate apple weight Of twenty-five
pounds.
Pears sell at two cents per pound
in the orchard which means $500
per acre. Bartlett pear trees reach
1910 ponnds of fruit, while the
great Idaho variety frequently at
tains an individual weight of one
pound and a half. The delicious
sugar pear is, probably, the most
prolific and profitable Of San Juan
pears,
Cherries, with 100 trees to the
acre, return from s. to $4 per tree;
while grapes, including the princi
pal table, wine, and raisin variety,
are of heavy yield and profitable
market, In one San Juan county
vineyard thirty-two different grape
