A GOLD HUNTER.
An Z Enterprising Southerner wh o
is Making q Fortune Digsine for
O6e Yellow Metal In Colorado

The unceasing attention which The
Colored american pays to the efforts
of our people towards the higher life,
never fails to be rewarded. There is
always some new character in the
forefront to whose struggles and sue
cess we can be pointed out with pride
and from which can be deduced a
moral The man, whose career should
be most widely known as of distinct
honor to his race is Mr.. Nj c. Johnson.
of Cripple Greek, Colorado. But a
decade ago he was a poor, friendless
Negro, among the submerged mil
hons Of the race in the South, but
discomfort with his surroundings was
in his very blood. He absorbed it Wit
every breath. Fate or fortune, am
bitten or advice, whatever the moving
cause led him up out of the Southland
and Westward to the land of greatest
possibilities. He settled in Colorado
and at once gave his entire attention
tC the various kinds of mining.
His active and retentive memory
his unfagging industry and his con
| suminS thirst for knowledge soon
| made him an expert both in the valu-
able mines and in systematic methods
/ of operating them when located. With
his partner, Mr.. w. a. Smith, Mr..
Johnson has acquired some of the
most desirable mining properties in
Colorado and is fortunate enough to
have gained a competence as the re
| suit Of his expert knowledge and
thrift. This Is also true of Mr.. Smith.
The partners own jointly large pro
pertieS within a mile and a half Of the
town of Cripple Creek, Colorado, and
they are seriously considering wheth
er they will not afford others of their
race the opportunity to share with
them the golden promises of their
ventures. It is, however, Mr.. John
sons personal success to which atten-
| tiOn is directed. and no less to the
moral which it teaches. Here Is one
| Negro who did not see fit to remain
within the iron chains of environment,
who struck out manfully and faced his
| fate in an untTied field. sustained
only by a conscious mental and moral
rectitude and a strong right arm.
Why he just compelled success, and
so can each and all. of the Negro race
with the same conscience and the same
| apDlicatiOn tC the duties, which face
| them Mr.. JOhnson's financial pos
sIbilities are only circumscribed by
| the probable duration OF his life, and
should his present mental and ply
steal Vigor continue to attend his life,
he will in a few short years doubtless
be described as Colorado's great mil
| lionaire Negro.

BETTER NEWSPAPERS.
The Average Tone Now Far in
Advance Of Ieferson's Time.

Phe press was SO bad In Jefferson's
day that he used to say truth itself was
suspicious when 1t appeared In that pol
luted vehicle. and Jefferson did not great
~ exaggerate tho case. Neither tho aver
age newspaper nor the average politician
Of the good old days would BIO tolerated
to-day in any American community II
means existed for the community to rid
itself OF the nuisance. The very COM
mcrclalism, which the speaker complain
ed Of, has been the means of producing
newspapers that are honestly commercial
instead Of dishonesty partisan.
Nobody pretcnds, Of course that nows-
papers are uniformly able or honest or
even Intelligent. They are much like
doctors and lawyers and preachers In
that respect. Some are good and some
are bad and some are Indifferent. They
are much like tho people that rcnd them
and the people that edit them so far as
their moral and intellectual character Is
concerned, Yet OH tho whole they aver
age better than society.
