"HOUGH lovers be perjurers at
whom Jove laughs, George
Washington, whose inability
to tell a lie is traditional, was
none the less a notable lover. Indeed,
1t seems to have been but shortly after
the time of the alleged incident of the
cherry tree that Washington made the
acquaintance of Dan Cupid. While
still a ~schoolboy, according to the late
Paul Leicester Ford, he was "caught
romping with one of the largest girls"
and more serious romances quickly fol-
lowed. AS early as 174S, when Wash
ington was only sixteen, he was deeply
enamored of a "Iowland beauty" of

the Incorporation of the Durango Girl
Gold Mining Il Milling company. he
stated this morning that thousand
foot tunnel would be run through the
Portland claim to tap the rich vein
of the Durango Girl at great depth. A
small force OF men are now at work,
and 1t is understood that force Will
soon be increased and mining Will be
carried on on larger scale than here
tofore. No definite plans have yet
been decided upon, it seems, further
than the running of the tunnel men
toned Mr.. Cornforth was asked as
to the truth of the report that the
new company had $4,000 in the bank
to spend for development work, and
he said those figures were just guess
that they had some money to pros
ecute development with-and left the
question open for another guess.

THE VENETIAN EXCURSION.

The excursion party, who are mem
bers of the Venetian Mining company
are due in Durango this evening, com
ing down on the regular train from
Silyerton. There are twenty-six in
the party, and they will stop at the
Strater over night and continue on
east In the morning. The party Is In
charge of Major Il. II. Cooper. They
have been looking around in San Juan
county few days. This excursion
was gotten up by Major Cooper, who
organized the company in the East
and gave every purchaser of GER
tain amount of stock an excursion
Stops we're made at Salida, Gunnison
Montrose. Ouray and Silverton, and
the company's mines, which are To-
Gated at Gladstone, were inspected
Major Cooper issued a little booklet
telling of the objects of this excur
sion and giving the itinerary. The lit
tie booklet says that the excursion is
given for pleasure. health and profit
and will be the most enjoyable ever
undertaken by any party of excur
sionists. II further says:
This excursion has been arranged
so that every shareholder of the We
netian Mining Company, and every
prospective shareholder of said com
pany who so desires, may have an op
portunity 10 examine the value of the
company's properties. The purpose
OF this proposition is to educate the
shareholders of the Venetian Mining
Company. and those who may become
interested in the mining industries oi
southwest Colorado and the great Sar
Juan country, affording each person al
opportunity TO examine the mines and
see the method of operating the mines
and of reducing ores for the values
they contain"

A NOBLE SULTAN.

The Sultan of Morocco may have
faults, but he possesses one virtue
which will be likely to endear him to
a large majority of the women of this
country. Pictures of the sultan are
not reassuring. He is shown in gar
ment that appears to be cross be-
tween a bathrobe and a mother hub
bard, and. although he Is only twenty
three years of age, he is reported to
be so stout that 1t is impossible for
him to display much agility in getting
around.
But recent letters from his capital
convey to us the information that the
sultan is trying to inaugurate n re
form in his harem. This will at once
make him an object of interest to ev-
cry woman in our broad land, for II
there is anything concerning which
American women are especially anx-
ious it is reform in the harems of
those potentates who continue to get
married early and often To prevent
any Misunderstanding about the mat
ter let It be said at once that the Sui
tan of Morocco has no intention of
giving up his extra wives and settling
down quietly and decenuy with one.
This is disappointing but the lact that
he is endeavoring to get his ladies to
put off the outlandish garb they now
affect and wear Partisan gowns and
corsets at his expense will at once
raise him high in the esteem of many
of the good women who might be in
clined TO condemn him for his polyg-
amous inclinations.
1t will be hard to convince the
women Of this country that there is
not something truly noble about any
man. be he Christian or follower OF the
prophet. who not only approves of cor
sets for his wife or wives. but is will
ing to let her or them go to Paris to
be dressed. Let the sultan get ready
to respond to requests for his auto
graph.

WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

The proprietors and makers of DR..

fully warranted in offering to pay $500
