Fell from Glacier Rocks.

Denver. Aug. 25.-A News special
from Idaho Springs last night says:
Word reached this city tonight of
the painful and narrow escape from
death of two young ladies' while at
tempting to ascend the perpetual gla-
cier at Yankee hill. The injured parties
are Miss Mills OF Iowa, tourist, and
Miss Champion of this city. They were
ascending the glacier about 1880 this
morning and had gone up perhaps 300
feet when Miss Mills lost her footing
She caught her companion and both
were precipitated down the icy sur
face to the rocks 800 feet below.
They were seen by parties fishing on
ST. Mary's lake. just below the foot OF
the glacier. who hastened to their res
cue. The ladies were moved to the
Southern nearby and DIR. Allan B.
Fraser was summoned from the city.

MILE TROTTED
IN TWO MINUTES

Readville, Mass. August 25.-Before
vile yesterday. and with track and
weather conditions perfect, Lou Dillon
trotted a mile in two minutes. a new
record. So that no breeze might in
terfere. Millard Sanders. driver of the
great mare, brought out the daughter
of Sidney Dillon for the attempt early
in the day. For pacemakers there were
two running horses hitched to road
carts-Peggy From Paris, driven by
DOC" Tanner and Carrie Nation, driv-
en- by Scott Mccoy.
The first score was fruitless, Lou Dill
Ion making a break Just before reach
ing the wire. On the second attempt
however, the word was given. Start
ing Judge Walker rang his bell bat
Tanner nodded for him to say "go,'
and turning to Sanders called TO him
to come along Tanner kept Peggy
From Paris directly in front of the
Peerless chestnut trotter. while Mccoy
lay at her wheel. In this way the trio
went to the quarter polo in 30i4 sec
onds. With never a skip. Lou Dillon
went SO smooth gated down the back
stretch as TO lead those not timing the
mile to believe that her speed was not
alarmingly fast The half was click
ed on in 1:00A. Around the turn to
the three-quarter pole the clip quicken
ed. the third quarter being 3Oh sec
onds, making that mark of her journey
in 1:3l. Faster and faster came Tan
ner with the runner. and right with
him trotted the handsome California
bred mare. Sanders was sitting per-
fectly still. but Mccoy was crying aloud
to his runner to cheer on Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all. the quarter
was driven in 30 seconds. thus making
the mile in the wonderful time of two
minutes.
When Sanders logged the mare back
to the wire those who had witnessed
the performance leaped TO their feet
and sent forth cheer after cheer. Lou
Dillon apparently was as fresh as
though she had only been out for n
jogging exercise.
Sanders said he fully believed that
before the season closes he will drive
the mare in 1859 or better.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
School Lands a, sowerman.

II the strike at Bowerman camp. is
ms rich as II has been reported. and II
1t is proved. as has been asserted, that
the camp is in the midst OF gold-bear-
ing land. It is probable that the state
of Colorado will be Immensely benefit
ed by II, says the Denver Republican
of August 22d.
Yesterday Register Woodruff of the
state land board received applications
for three leases in section 16. township
so. range east. which is in the Bow
erman district m Gunnison county. One
OF the applicants has asked that he be
given ten lots. making In all 100 acres
of the land. The applications will
come up for consideration at the next
meeting OF the board. Others OF the
proposed lessees ask for similar
amounts.
When state land is found to contain
mineral the township is divided up
into sixty-four lots OF ten acres each,
and after half of the lots have been
taken II is the duty of the state to sur
vey the township. Up to that time
those who have leases on the lands
have to take their chances as TO what
land they will get After the land has
been surveyed the lots are awarded to
the different holders In the township.
The leases under the new law are to
run for eight years They-formerly have
been running for twenty years. but II
was found that after the coal on GER
tain sections OF land belonging to the
state had been removed that the land
was still good for agricultural purposes
and the lessees have been in the habit
OF holding the state up on the ground
that their leases are still in force For
this reason the time of the leases has
been decreased.
Under the new law the state is to
receive fiat rental of $40 per lot and
this is to be paid semi-annually In
case that mineral is found on the land
the state is to receive 10 per cent. of
the gross production of the mine. II
1t should happen that the Bowerman
district proves to be rich one the
state will receive a large revenue from
Its lands.
Some OF the lands belonging to the
state are now leased on this basis, but
up to the present no considerable sum
has been realized from them. The
state owns some land In the Cripple
Creek district. II is located on Bull
hill. east Of Cameron. This. however.
is Just outside of the collaborating zone
of the district and the state has re-
ceived no revenue other than the Hat
rental of $40 per lot of ten acres.
All of the revenue from the state
lands goes into the school fund of the
state.

The revolutionary committees are
doing their utmost TO force the hands
of the Bulgarian government and the
immediate outlook is exceedingly ser
ious.
1t appears that the Turks have OBJ
tanned the upper hand In the vilayet
of Monastir. and the insurgents are
planning to remove the center OF their
activity close to the Bulgarian frontier.
Dispatches arriving to-day from the
disturbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
From Adrianople comes the news OF a
Turkish defeat and the extension OF
the revolutionary outbreak; from Mo-
nastor the news of Turkish victories,
accompanied by barbarous excesses.
According to the Sofia Dnevnik the
Turks committed unspeakable atroci-
ties at Krushevo.
The mutilated corpses of ninety
women and children were found in one
building; pieces of the bodies had been
thrown into the street; fifteen of the
principal merchants of the town were
killed and their heads exhibited on

The Dnevnik also asserts that gen

whole yilayet of Monastir. Nearly all
villages have been destroyed. The
trsacherous murder of eighty insurgent
prisoners by their guards has made an
especially bad impression here.
Many rumors are current or massa-
cres in the city of Adrianople. but con-
firmation is lacking. The situation
there. however, undoubtedly is serious.
The people are afraid 10 leave their

bitches on state lands.

Endless litigation is in sight for a
large number of the ditch companies
of the state, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Under present conditions 1t is
possible that at any time steps can
be taken to question the right where
by they have constructed their canals
on state lands.
II is not the intention of the State
Land Board to embarrass these compa-
mics, which have done so much TO de
yelop the state. but for the protection
of the ditch owners themselves an eff
fort will be made to enforce the law
and compel them to obtain the legal
right TO occupy state lands with their
canals.
"A large number of the ditch com
panies constructed their waterways
without taking the trouble to obtain
permission of the state to build on land
belonging to 1t" said Register Wood
run yesterday in discussing the sub
Ject. Under the law they have abso-
lutely no right to use the land, though
they all seem to believe that posses
sion gives them that right.
Complaints have been made fire.
iquently of this condition and In some
cases the fact that the ditch crossed
the land caused difficulty in disposing
of it. Such condition of affairs
should not exist. and there is pros
pect of great deal of litigation as
the result. 1t seems to me that this
matter should be Strengthened out at
once"
Many of the big ditch companies
have followed their own bent in CON
STRUNG the waterways. According to
the register of the land office they
have built on lands belonging to the
state without even as much as a by
your leave" This has made the con
ditions such that the state can inter
fere very seriously with their business
at any time 1t chooses.
