PoLITics in Colorado seem to be
perpetual nightmare. Repub-
licans and democrats are bot b
afflicted with the incubus, and
neither PARTY seems to have the
inclination or the desire to break
through-the state OF lethargy. The
party machinery OF both political
organizations seems to be used
solely and exclusively to further
the selfish ends and political am
sbitions Of "A few men-Wolcott,
Angel Archie Stevenson, Old
Perplexity. c. S. Thomas, Old
Duplicity. the Adams family. and
a few lesser lights. For the past
six years. the sum total OF our
residence in Colorado. there has
been mnddle of some kind siz-
cling in the political pot, and i,
makes one dizzy. weary, sick and
disgusted altogether with any
thing that savors of politics.
James HI. Peabody, our new gov
ernor, has been heralded as a man
OF business, who is entirely free
from entangling political alliances
of any description. We hope il is
true. A business administration
Of the affairs of Colorado would be
such . great relief. and such de
cided change from previous con-
ditions. Now that our new gov
ernor has assumed the helm Of the
great ship Of state. we would like
to see him fight pirates for : briei
season. gather up few Of these
political buccaneers. make them
walk the plank and 60 down into

ANOTHER oil strike has

Another oil strike has been
made in the Boulder district. AT
a depth OF 1900 feet the "Boulder
Valmont' encountered the oil sand
last week. and the pressure was SO
strong that for few minutes oil
flowed over the floor of the derrick.
The new we'll is surrounded by
the three wells of the Otero Oil
and Gas Company. The wells of the
latter company seem to be the
standard by which the value and
prospects of all other wells are
gauged.
