 Assaying around Cripple Creek seems to be an unhealthy calling at present. A telegram from Victor says that a reign of terror exists there owing to a preconcerted attack upon the assay offices doing business in that vicinity. Beginning at 8 o'clock Monday morning and following in rapid succession, six explosions wrecked as many assay offices in Vic tor,, Cripple Creek and Goldfeld. The raiders did not hesitate to jeo- pardize life, as all but one of the buildings were also occupied by sleeping families. Men, women aud children were hurled out of their beds by shocks and serious injuries were inflicted. The full extent of the damage cannot be estimated. Sheriff Robertson has put at work force of deputies in an effort to discover the perpetrators of the crimes. The gen eral impression is that the acts are the result of general movement to rid the district of all institutions which buy high grade ore in small quantities. The big mines of the district, it is said, have been systema- tically robbed of much high grade ore, and fifty to hundred assayers, it is alleged, have made handsome profits by dealing in this ore. The mine owners association recently discovered that high grade ore was being shipped by the sssaysrs from the district, but all efforts to stop the traffic were unavailing.
