They visited many min ing properties, among them the Su- perior mine, which is being developed at the mouth of the Queen creek can yon. Through the courtesy of Super intendent Sieboth, they were invited to inspect the work. Most of the work done up to the present time is drifting aud tunneling. About forty men are at work. Great bodies of rich copper ore have been unearthed and many SaliciOus ores bearing gold, a Id from ali indications this mine in the near future will become one of the great bullion producers of the terri tory. The Pinal district, which ex. tends from the Silver King south for five miles, lying along great fault, is destined to be one of the great camps of Arizona.

Denver. Aug. S.-The Republican

the distinction of being the birthplace
of direct lincal descendant of Alvar

first white man to set foot on what is
now the United States making the dis

can claim Colorado as his birthplace.

a possible error as to the correct com

for assuming or paying the warrant
The material requisite is that the
voucher be acted upon by the board,
and the signature OF the officers Is on
ly ceidence that this has been done.
Tho attorney general also says that
Commissioner-in-Chi Wilson is the
proper person to sign vouchers, and
that their payment Is protected by the
action Of the board of which a quorum
is three.
The contention that the members OF
the board were appointed by the Leg
islature Is deemed a fallacy. as In the
act calling for the increase OF the board
from three to five members 1t was or
dered that the governor should appoint
the new members, so showing that the
Legislature meant that the appointing
power should be in the hands OF the
governor. The opinion also cites arti-
cles of the constitution which permit
the governor to remove any person ap
pointed by him for misconduct, mar
feasance or incompetency In ofice.
Unless Van K. Rouse gives up the
$4,000 belonging to the fund. which
he has in his possession. within the
next few days suit will be commenced
to recover 1t. Rouse has said that he
does not want to hinder the board In
the performance OF It's duty. but that
he has been advised by his attorneys
not to give up the money until the mat
ter Is. .settled In the courts.

been ordered to prepare for the calling

silver coins of large denominations are
now on their way to Manila via San

nearly 100000 in nickel and bronze
coins. They will be sent to the far
East on the Indramayo. The coins are
packed in 5S3 kegs. The total number
OF coins constitutes 900 pieces.
Their value is s306 900. All were coined
at the mint in Philadelphia. Their
weight is estimated at seventy tons.

patch from Longmont yesterday says:

as at first supposed. The stones did

total destruction, while in other places
In close proximity scarcely any loss

The principal damage is to the spring

ter wheat had almost all been harvest
ed. and comparatively little loss will
be felt. Fortunately, too. the acreage
OF winter wheat Is abnormally large,
owing to the extremely wet weather

plant larger acreage in the fall than
is their custom. Potatoes are not in

COL LORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY

The Board of Capitol Managers at a
meeting held Aug. 5th. spent most of
the time in settling up old debts owed
by the state for the state building.
Among other things they turned ST.
570.75 over to the city Of Denver on ac-
count Of the money owed for paving
the streets surrounding the capitol.
This money Is part Of the appropria-
tion Of 1899 which has not been avail
able until this year This leaves them
still owing the city some $12. 900. Then
they paid little over $4,000 to the
contractors who have had charge Of
the painting and decorating of the in
terror of the capitol. Ten per cent. of
this. or 81 100. is still held out as Sc
curity reservation until the work has
been approved by the state architect.
II Is claimed that the best and most
extensive list of premiums ever Of
fered In Colorado is included in the
pamphlet just issued by the Colorado
State Fair Association and these pre-
miums will be paid in full. no matter
what happens with the state appro-
priation and the promise of the Fair
Association to this effect will be suf-
fcient assurance to those who were
former exhibitors and are familiar

ment. II there is only one time in
the year that the people Of Colorado

roundings and give themselves

be when the people OF the state get

pany. under a contract with the state OF

and 60 miles long. When finished, this
canal will be one OF the largest and
most perfect irrigating systems in the
world. BY its means valley OF 100, 900
acres OF the most fertile and productive
fruit and farm land in America will be
reclaimed
The climate of this valley is ideal.
Cyclones, hot winds, floods or destruc-

Grain, grass, vegetables and all varie-

ESTIMATES OF DAMAGES TO
CROPS IN NORTHERN COLORADO

Northwest of Longmont a few miles
many large orchards of fruit are lost
There are about 5000 acres of beets
about Longmont, and the tops Of these
are cut to ribbons.
Perhaps the heaviest single loss in
this section was sustained by the Emp
son Packing Company This concern
had more than l40 acres Of peas that
were ready for the harvest. every acre
OF which was pounded into the ground
by the hail. The company estimates its
loss on these peas alone at $4,000. In
making an estimate of the total loss
in this section, the spring wheat Is
made the basis, though it is very diff
ficult matter to even approximate
First reports put the loss as high as
s., ,OOO, 600. but this figure is known now
to be very much too high. One Long
mont miller estimates the loss Of 200
900 bushels Of the yield of spring
wheat, while another places it as 3O0.-
900. II the loss be placed half way
between the two estimates the loss on
spring wheat alone will be nearly $780,
600. However, figures made by con-
servative business men who have care
fully canvassed the situation place the
total loss to this farming community
at from 3175 900 to $780, While the
damage is very heavy it could easily
have been worse. and the wonder of 1t
all Is that it was not worse consider
ing the character of the storm.
Greeley advices state that the dam
age of the severe hailstorm of Wednes-
day to the country one mile wide and
from five to six miles long. lying between
North Pleasant Valley and South Lone
Tree valley. about nine miles east OF
Greeley. is now estimated at fifty per
cent loss as far as grain is concerned.
with a good prospect for three-fourths
of the usual potato crop being har-
vested.
The storm spent its fury on the north
side of the Platte valley, Kersey and
the country south escaping.
1t is difficult to estimate the loss in
dollars and cents. as many of the farm
ers hope that the potato and beet crops
will compensate for the loss of grain.
but conservative estimate places the
loss in the district somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

CARNEGlE'S GIFT
TO DUNFERMLlNE

London Aug Sin handing over to
fifteen representative citizens of his ma
tive town, Dunfermline, who were his
guests at Skibo castle early this week,
a trust deed transferring to them $2,-
10000 in Ave per cent. bonds OF the
United States Steel Corporation, and
Pittencrieff park, Andrew Carnegie ex-
planned the objects he had in view in
these words:
'It is an experiment, the object of
which is to attempt to introduce into
the monotonous lives of the toiling
masses of Dunfermline more of sweet
ness and light, to give them, especially
the young, some Improvement some
'elevating conditions of life which their
residence elsewhere would have denied
SO that 4 child in his native town will
feel. however far he may have roamed
that simply by virtue of being such
his life has been made happier and bet
ter"
Mr.. Carnegie added that he had pro
vided for this experiment in his will
more than twenty years ago. but his
retirement from business enabled him
to put the scheme into operation during
his lifetime. The problem set to the
trustees was: What can be done in
towns to benefit the masses by money
in the hands of the most public-spirit-
ed citizens?" II 1t was proved that
good could be done, the trustees would
open new fields to the rich, which. Mr..
Carnegie said. he believed they would
hereafter be more and more anxious
to find for their surplus wealth.
MIR. Carnegie exhorted the trustees
not to be afraid of making mistakes.
to try many things freely. but to dis
cuss Just as freely. keeping in touch
with the masses and constantly aim
ing to improve their tastes and give
Dunfermline something beyond what
what was possessed by other cities.
