refrain from saying that Governor

cept the 5000 salary due him for serv-

COLORAD0's VOLCANO
Fire Issues from Creyices OF a Noun
tain, but Is Supposed to Come
from Coal.

Hot Sulphur Springs, Colo, Feb. 90
Little credence is given here to re-
ports that Mount Sutton has become
an active volcano, and no alarm is felt
over the fire on the mountainside
When the flames wer first seen Mar
shall S. McQueery, sheriff; Solomon
Jones. and J. z. Brown, editor of d
local paper, made an Investigation and
reported that they had found fire is
suing from a ere vice in the rocks.
The people Of Hot Sulphur Springs
are inclined to the belief that it Is a
coal fire. For several month men have
beenprospecting for coal in that region,
and it is believed that they discovered
Il deposit and in an effort to test its
quality set it Oil fire. This theory is
supported by the fact that since a
heavy snowfall the fire is scarcely Wis
ible from here.
