How He Got a Scoop.

There was only one man in Denver
who could authortatively deny or al
firm a r,lmor that the great Indepen-
dence gold mine at Cripple Creek had
been sold by W. S. Stratton to an
English syndicate. and that was .JohH
Hays Hammond, the famous MINING
expert.
In the lobby of the Brown Palace
hotel stood a group of newspaper
men, and discussed ways and means
for securing the coveted interview, for
Mr.. Hammond had refused to see
them. In the party was Little Lord
Fauntleroy." reporter for a morning
paper. He had said that his mother
and Mr.. Hammond were persona,
friends, and one of the men had re-
marked that that ought to land the
story for him. They saw him walk
to the other side of the lobby and
write upon a card and hand it to a
bellboy One Of the reporters hurried
upstairs, stopped the boy and read
ON the card: -f#a
Vivian Burnett,
Son of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur
nett.
The reporter tore from his copy-pa-
per slip and wrote thereon
Arthur Clark,
Son of old man Clark.
"Give that to Hammond, too,' he
said to the boy.
The reporter joined his comrades,
and presently the boy came down and
said:
"Mr. Hammond says he will see old
man Clark's boy."-Saturday Evening

Report (b)-County Farm.

In accordance with your instruc,
vhich this county's convicts are
quartered and worked and have mad
a careful inspection of the same. We
beg to advise that we find the pris-
oners we'll cared for; the quarters are
comfortable and in good sanitary con
d:tlon, we'll heated and we'll lighted.
They are well fed and the food is
carefully and well prepared and clean
They are given change in diet. The
menu is as follows: Coffee, twice
daily; salt pork, twice daily; molas-
ses, twice daily; corn bread, ;nrea
times daily; one of the following ar.
ticles once daily: Beans. peas or
greens. They are given all they can
eat Of the above There were forty
oEe prisoners from this county there
at the time Of our visit. They were
al in good, healthy. condition, and
had no complaints at all to make We
questioned them closely as to their
treatment, food, ETC., and they made
no complaints. They are comfortably
and warmly clothed. Each prisoner
has two suits and they are washed
weekly. The prisoners are batheG
every Sunday. Separate quarters are
maintained for male and female pris-
oners. The stockades are provided
with hospital quarters, and a doctor
is provided in case of sickness. They
are not oyerworked. A complete dali

Investigation Of Magistrates and
Constables.

We. your committee appointed as
special committee of the grand
jury to audit & the dockets of the diff
ferent magistrates and constables of
the county, beg to make the follow
ing report:
We have examined the magistrates
dockets brought before us and found
a few that were kept right and ac-
cording to law, but a majority of
them are kept in a loose and care
less manner. large number OF them
are in the habit of having cases be-
fore them where the defendants are
declared mot guilty but are forced
to- pay the costs in the cases. Again
We find where the magistrates will
have a warrant issued, and when the
prisoner is brought into court he will
have from two to four charges pre-
ferred, all growing out of the same
crime, and the magistrates and con-
stables will collect a fee for arrest
on seaeh charge when in reality, there
has only been one arrest made. We
have examined the accounts of the
constables of the county and find
them $1.691.12 short, as you will see

RAILROAD ADVERTISING.
Largely Increased and Now Amounts
to Millions Annually.

The various railroads entering New
York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia
and the other large cities spend
thousands of dollars a year in adver-
tiSing the advantages OF the suburban
homes along their lines. Some OF
these publications which the rail
roads issue are really artistic In ad-
diJion to issuing special publications
CT various kinds the railroads also
advertise lavishly in the magazines
and daily newspapers. These adver-
tisements are always interesting and
attractive. Some of the highest paid
artists in the country are employed to
illustrate them.
The object of these advertisements
are twofold. The principal object is.
Of course, to draw the attention OF the
|rublic to the exceptional facilities Of
fered by this particular road. The
second object is broader one. 1t is
e. educate the public up to the advan-
tages OF travelling as an educational
factor and also to point out the indus
trial advantages and opportunities in
the territory served by the different
railroads. The head of every family
that settles in new country is worth
to the railroads from $3.50 to $3.50
year. The advertising of the eastern
railroads is devoted principally to in
creasng the volume of passenger traf-
fic for education and pleasure. The
advertising of the western roads is
devoted principally to pointing out the
advantages and opportunities offered
in the territory through which their
llres run. The western railroads real
iZe that their future development de-
pends on the increase in population
and ,he Development of their terri
tories. Their advertising has for its
object inducing immigration from the
older eastern territories or from ELL
rope 4a
Taking the railroads of the country
as whole, they probably spend be-
tween $4,0o0,oo0 and s5,OOo,OOO a year
ii advertising. The New York Cen
tral alone spends close to 100000 a
year. while st. Paul. Pennsylvania
Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, Northwest
ern. Atchison Union Pacific and
number of other railroads spend
from 100000 to 100000 year
apiece in advertising.
Last year seven railroads-New
York Central. St. Paul, Union Pacific
Baltimore and Ohio, Northwestern.
Alchison and Sou,hern-spent more
than 81 100000 in advertising
Ten years ago all of these railroads
Gid not spend as much on advertising
as the New York Central alone did
last year. James J. Hill is said to
attribute the growth, in prosperity OF
the western railroads largely to
5nair advertisement of the opportu
mites offered to enterprising men in
that section of the country. When
James ]. Hill extended the lines of the
Great Northern into North Dakota he 1
f"nnd there vast stretches of terri
tory practically uninhabited: His first
task was to induce suaicient-numbers
of people to settle there to- develop
the territory. He set about inducing
