GOOD FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Colorado Fruit Crop Promises te
Break All Records.

Denver. May 22-The fruit crop Of
Colorado this year viii break all rec

ceived by Secretary Shute of the
State Board of Horticulture. They
are in answer to inquiries sent out by
her several days ago. asking the in
spcctors in each county for informa-
tion along that line The following
communication from Inspector X. s.
Purtee of Parachute. Garfield county,
reflects the general condition through
ont the state:
Never in the history of our county
has there been such good outlook
for large fruit crop as there is in
the valley at the present time. and
the question now is, where shall we
find n market for 1t? believe il
each shipping point could select some
good person and send him either to
LeadvIllc, Aspen or Cripple Creek and
have the growers ship their fruit di-
rect TO him and let him sell 1t for
them. instead OF shipping to commits
sion houses and seldom realizing
transportation charges. the business
would be more profitable
Thurston White of Canon City
writes:
Prospects for fruit very fine. ex-
cept cherries. Apple trees especially
old onesl that bore heavily last year,

trees very well set. All trees bloomed
heavily, but many bloom blasted.

Fort Collins OIL Prospects.

Denver. May 22.-A News special
from Fort Collins Tuesday says:
The promoters of the Nebraska well
are rejoicing tonight over the prospect
of a strike in their well. 1t is located
eight miles northwest of the town.
near the foothills. The drillers are
down 800 feet and have gone through
several pockets of oil, known to oil
men as oil scum. They are now in
Benton shale and as the well becomes
deeper oil pockets increase in size and
number. The sump Is covered with
oil scum and every bailer that is
brought up serves to Increase the in.
dications of big strike at very shal.
low depth. While these indications
so near the surface are common
enough In the oil fields of Pcnnsylva.
MIA. they have not been found In Col.
orado nt anything like this depth. The
public has renewed its interest in the
possibility OF striking oil and 1t is
likely that the Colorado Hawkcye
Company and others will start down
wells south OF the Nebraska loca ton
and nearer the foothills within few
weeks.
The Chase and SanbOrn people are
backing the Nebraska well.

credit the report. until he was con-
vinced of its truth.
From mouth to mouth the news flew
and people of Boulder We're perhaps
never before SO joyous over piece of
oil news.
When Senator Johnson was asked
how deep in the sand the oil had
been struck he said, I'VE did not
strike 1t in the sand. we went through
that and struck it in the shale."
Specimens of oil were brought to
town In bottles. 1t is similar to the
Mckenzie, perhaps little lighter,
carrying more gas. This is said to be
the deepest well yielding oil west of
Green county, Pennsylvania.
Ed Monroe. manager of the Oil Well
Supply Company, said: Il believe it is
the best well yet found. To think of
1t yielding SO much oil and only half
screw in the shale.' Mr.. Monroe
was among the first to go to the well
this morning to see for himself. and
then TO telegraph the substance of his
observations to various parts of the
United States, especially to Florence
and Pittsburg.
w. X. Rathvon of the United Oil
Company also went out to the well
early in the morning. He returned de.
lighted. The significance OF the strike
lies in the fact" said he, that the oil
was not found in the sand but in the
shale. People have been anxious to
avoid shale and get sand, yet 1t is in
the shale where the oil is found in
this section"
W. w. Degge of the Consolidated
said. This will stimulate others. The
Keystone and the Alamo will imme-
diately resume operations. This well
proves the oil Is here. All we mus
do is to drill down for 1t and well gel
IT." Mr.. Degge is especially interested
in the Wellington and is prepared tc
go $500 feet II necessary.

PROGRESS OF COLORADO SHOWN IN OIL
STRIKES AND RAILWAY AND POWER PROJECTS

Denver, May pa Boulder dis
patch of the Goth instant published in
the Republican says:
What Is believed to be the greatest
oil strike in the Boulder field was
made in the Boulder Basin well at
depth of $500 feet mt o'clock this
morning. Tonight the well is half
full of oil and a heavy flow of gas has
been coming from the hole all day.
only about half screw had been
drilled into the shale when a rush of
gas burst from the casing and, becom-
ing ignited, threatened TO burn up the
derrick. With considerable difficulty
the blaze was eXtinguished before any
damage was done. Then the gas con-
tinued for some time to bring up small
particles Of oil. sprinkling the workers
about the mouth of the hole. Drilling
had to cease temporarily and pumping
machinery was ordered from Florence.
The owners are confident it is the
best by far of the producers opened
in the field. With lightning rapidity
the news was spread in Boulder this
morning that oil had ben struck, and
for while the wires We're kept busy
informing interested parties in Den
yer, Colorado Springs, Florence, Ne
braska and Pittsburg. The news was
all the more gratifying, because Of the
fact that the report that the Basin had
reached oil was circulated last even
Ing, and proved entirely groundless.

the well. drove out and returned last
night about the bluest man in town.

I'VE have to 90 $500 feet. Well go
that far and then we'll quit" Senator
Johnson admits that he had little
doubt that the hole would prove all
the way down las dry as n bone"
That he was bitterly disappointed was
evident. That he WIS vexed at the
false reports was apparent.
About sunrise this morning he was
relieved OF his worrq and anxiety by a
report direct from the driilers that oil
had been struck. He did not At first

Great Labor Strike in Denver.

Denver, May 26.-To-day all building
by union workmen stops in Denver. and
the stoppage will continue, from pres
cnt indications, until either the owners
Of the planning mills agree to grant an
eight-hour day, or the members of the
building trades are compelled by lack
OF money to go back to work. There
will be no demonstration whatever ut
the inauguration OF the big strike, the
union leaders say, but the carpenters,
the stone masons. the brick layers, the
sheet metal workers. and the members
Of the other trades involved in building
will simply not appear for work.
There is considerable doubt, however,
that the carpenters will continue in the
strike, owing to previous agreements
with employing contractors.

we have one man here with courage
enough to go down deep"
G. II. McVay, who has charge Of
many wells here, says he thinks the
Basin will prove hummer"
Senator johnson returned from the
well in time TO meet Interested parties
who came up from Denver on the
noon train. Asked what the pragram
was, he said: "Oh, we are going to go
right along with the drilling. We are
down only half screw, and have a
wonderful flow for that depth. We
will put the drill down further il the
oil does not bother too much.''

The Boulder Basin is about half n
mile south of the Mckenzie and the

The Monarch people, who are but a
trife south of the Basin. are in high
spirits and say this means they will

Basin. said: This makes it sure that
we will get OIL
The Phoenix and Eagle folks feel
the same way. In fact every compa-
ny is now buoyed up with great hopes.
Judge Henderson, who is considered
the best posted geologist in this sec
+, ton, says he considers the find of oil
in the Boulder Basin the best yet
made and of great significance. He
says it proves that tins is TO be a good
oil field.
Rev. r. f. Inglis of the King well
said that well would be pushed down

til there is no more TO 90 through, IL
it is necessary to do this before strlk-
ing oil. Then the well Will be shot.
Local biologists figure this well ought
to go $500 feet deep.

BATHED IN THE CRATER.
Story Of Denver Man Who Lived on
St. Vincent.

James A Small. inspector in the
Denver postottice district, was for ten
years sugar planter in st. Vincent,
and during that time Travelled all over
the slopes of Mount Soufriere, which
has lately caused the devastation of
that island.
1T was in 1855 that l went to st.
Vincent" said Mr.. Small, land l was
then only seventeen years old. l went
right into the business of making su-
gar. being known as the youngest
planter in the business. l worked there
for ten years, doing well. The island
was covered with fine plantations. II
was hard work, and for ten months of
the time | did not sleep in bed. 1t
was working to get my plant ready for
the cane, overseeing things about the
place and being general boss of every
thing
The summit of Soufriere was pret.
tily wooded when | was there with
dense tropical growth. 1t had been an
active volvano in 1872 and had scat
tered its ashes ninety miles away, but
l never saw any evidences of any
threatened activity. At its top were
two immense craters. the large one
three miles across and the smaller
about a mile and half
Dozens of times, yes. hundreds. l
have climbed 10 the small crater and
bathed in its waters. The big crater
was harder to get at.
The only man l knew of or at
least he was the first man TO make his
way to the big lake in its center. was
DR.. 'Sandies Robertson. He armed
himself with an axe, worked his way
to the top and down the 800 feet TO the
borders of the lake. Here he cut down
tree that he followed into a canoe
He had a line of several hundred feet
but was unable to sound the depths OF
the lake. l do not know that any one
ever did. 1t was believed TO reach
down to at least the level of the ocean
1t is hard to believe that all this
beautiful lake region has been de
stroyed and thrown up by volcano.
Il notice that the Caribs are sup
posed to have been totally destroyed,
wiping out one of the greatst fighting
races that the new world ever knew.
When the country was discovered

more trouble to conquer than any of
the others. They were pretty husky
