RUN 10000 HEAD OF SHEEP.

G.. NJ Winkleman, foreman of
Cossriif Bros sheep company, has
been in the city the past ten days
experimenting the crossing at
this place of the large bands OF
sheep of his company that have
been grazing on the west side of
the North Platte river. The last
lot. consisting of four big bands,
were crossed here early Tuesday
morning. In all there are 10000
head of sheep belonging to the
company. They will be ranged
out north of Walcott and down in
about the Big Ditch country and
Medicine Bow during the coming
winter. The sheep are all in
most excellent condition, as the
range never was known to be
better than at present.

turn for so valuable a concession. Hamilton's successors. the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company, have made a fortune out of it. but Castro alleges that they have not discharged certain obligations assumed by the cOncessionaire, and on this he bases his action in having the contract de- clared invalid by the Venezuelan su- preme court. The lake is now in the hands of a receiver and is being work ed in the interest of the Venezuelan government.
 The Bermudez lake is nine times as large as the Trinidad lake, but much shallower. It is the principal source of asphalt supply in the world and its possession would add greatly to the resources of the Venezuelan govern ment. It must be highly exasperat- ing to Castro to reflect that such val uable piece of property was parted with for so insignicant a consideration, and his stubborn refusal to submit the matter to arbitration indicates that he doubts his ability to make out a good case

The Venezuelan Asphalt Case.

Asphalt, the peculiar substance which makes the best street paving material yet discovered, is the cause of the present contention between the government of the United States and Venezuela. Just as the gold deposits of South Africa led to the Boor war. so the vast natural stores of asphalt in Venezuela have led to he ConlpIi- cations which involve two nations and have blighted the careers of two dipIo- mats. The analogy is not complete, however, for England forced a war on the Transvaal in order to gain pos session of a rich territory not right fully hers, while the United States is merely endeavoring to protect an American company in the rights guar anteed it by the Venezuelan govern ment's concessions.
 In 1884 a man named Hamilton re- ceived from the Venezuelan congress a concession for the exploitation of some 10000 square miles of territory m the state of Bermudez. At that time nei- ther Hamilton nor the Venezuelan gov

  Unquestionably the Venezuelan gov eminent got the worst of the bargain, but it granted the concession with its eyes open and with quite as good an understanding of its value as the con- cessionaire possessed at tha time It IS said that in the twenty-one years since then the payments on account of duties and taxes have amounted to only $I02.- 900. When it is considered that the asphalt lake is now estimated to be worth $1O.O0O.000 this seems d small re-.

Fortunes Then and Now.

There has been considerable talk lately, of the enormous fortunes some of our American multi -miilionair4s
 have amassed. The methods " which these fortunes sometimes are accumu- lated have been severely criticised par ticularly since the controversy about Rockefeller's offered gift of s10O. .OOG for the conversion of pagans. Henry CIews now publishes an estimate of some American fortunes. John D. Ro.kefel . Ter heads the list with half q billion dollars. Andrew Carnegie, who has given away S115,OOO.OOO, is still rated as worth a quarter of a billion. Will owner of about S2O0.O0 600 worth of American real estate. His cousin. John Jacob, has .5.OOO, ,OOO. The Gould family is put down for $150.OOO 900 Marshan Field Chicago's richest man. is rated at e1OO,o00,OO0 The Wander bilts, Russell Sage and many others al- so have more than they need.
 It has been thought that never before in the history of the world, were there such fortunes accumulateI. l. But Will Han: E. Curtis corrects this impression. In the glorious days of Rome there were still wealth!er citizens than snv in this country. Ptolena.Is PhiIadeI- phus was worth a billion dollars re like cur Rockefeller. was of a ,i-=rary taste. and he made Alexand ria a eat of learning of Undying fame.
