Gold Discovery Makes No Difference.


Denver.--Claims that gold running
SIS ton and of coal of high grade un-
deriving the rich farming lands in the
neighborhood of Semper, apparently
had but little effect on the jury which
has been hearing the condemnation
suit brought by the Farmers. Reser-
yoir and Irrigation Company. At
Golden the jury decided that the land
is worth $67.50 an acre, and no more,
and unless an appeal to a higher court
results in change, the Midway Real
Estate and Coal Company, composed
of farmers who own the lands wanted
for a reservoir site, will have to sell
their holdings at this sum per acre.
The farmers who were parties to the
suit opposing the reservoir company
are w. r. Churchill. Frederick Wick
and William F. Smith.
These men claimed that their land is
worth at least $3.50 an acre for agricul-
tural purposes, and a few days ago,
as a result of drilling for coal, an
nounced that the drills, at depth OF
something over 700 feet, had pene-
trated blanket vein of gold ore as
saving $2S a ton. News of the find ere
ated amid excitement, and for few
days geological experts were busy al

was possible.
Around Semper and Bloomfield,
towns nearest the supposed gold lands,
farmers began to talk in millions and
speak slightingly Of the returns from
wheat and corn. Now they are all back
to the plow and the indications are that
before long II the irrigation company
carries out Its plans, the gold find"
will be covered with few score feet

Rather Rot in Jail.

Colorado Springs.-"I'll stay In jail
until ] rot before l tell them where
the books are. unless they pay me
what Is due me first" declares Miss
ESine +. Fuller. young. handsome and
determined. now confined in jail for
contempt of court for refusal to give
up the books of mining company OF
which she has been secretary.
She was brought into court because
she refused to surrender the books of
the Mary Murphy Mining Company.
which she acknowledged TO be in her
possession. Miss Fuller is bookkeeper
at the Hayman market. IA South Tejon
street, and was employed to keep
books for the mining company during
her spare time. Edward Jones. secre-
tary of the company. alleges that he
demanded the books but when he en-
deavored to get them he found them
missing.
Miss Fuller claims about SEQ salary
for work done on the books. When the
mining company demurred to immedi-
ate payment of this sum. Miss Fuller
is alleged to have informed the officers
that as long as payment was deferred
lust SO long would they seek in vain
for the books. She admits that their
whereabouts Is known TO her and TO
her only.
The matter got into the courts when
Jones had issued from Justice Ruby a
writ of replevin demanding the books
from Miss Fuller. When the writ was
served on Miss Fuller at the Hayman
market by Constable w. P. Orrabee.
she read the document looked at the
constable and decided that it would
take more than the strong arm OF the
law to force her to reveal the hiding
place of the books until the $50 was
forthcoming. She refused to turn them
over as ordered in the writ.
Accordingly warrant for her arrest
was issued and she was brought into
court for explanation. She explained.
All there was to 1t was that she
wanted the salary, and until the salary
was paid the books would not be
found, jail or no jail. Neither court
nor counsel could persuade Miss Fuller
to give up the books demanded by the
mining company, and with head erect
and a look of determination on her
countenance she heard the sentence OF
the court that she be incarcerated in
Jail until she would turn over the books
of the Mary Murphy Mining Company.

What If He Lived Today!

reporter, he showed me in his uptown
house his superb collection of old news

papers have improved?'
He smiled, his shrewd and kindly
eyes twinkled, and ne answered:

thought of our Sunday papers.
They are marvellous. he replied.
They are encyclopedias, Whenever l

Poor Grau, in our discussion, said
that he went at music as a certain per-

primary idea of producing something
excellent, but with the primary idea of
producing something novel, bizarre,
profitable.

THE MILD. HAMMERED BARBER
Saturday Evening Post.)


4 laxative and self-important young
court stenographer went with a detailed
Judge to one of the feud towns in the
kentucky mountains to do his part in
holding a term of court.
1t was a small place, far from rail-
road, and the inhabitants were ali feud-
lists of one clan or another. After a day
or two at the little hotel the stenOgrapher
said TO the hotel keeper:
where's the barber shop?"

face replied. eve all mostly lets our

and found the cobbler to be a mild-man-
nered old man, with flowing gray whisk-
ers and a pale and beatific blue eye.
Uncle Joe said he could shave him. and
he got out razor and shaving mug
and leaned back. He waited in some
trepidation, but the old man was skillful
and gave him a good shave

to talk, so, when the barber was on his

NEARING THE DANGER LINE.

Unless the sober sense of conservative
leaders is submitted for the unreason-
ing ana unreasonable epidemic of
strikes throughout the country. the
genuine workingmen of the country are
likely to find that the limit of produc-
tive returns for capital has been
reached and that improvements now
contemplated will be stopped forth
with. From New York, where the dock
laborers have suspended shipping bust
ness, to san Francisco, where nearly
every trade is involved in some sort of
difficulty, higher prices are asked for
labor than have ever been known be-
fore. and the demands have been fol-
lowed by disturbances which must in
evitabIy react unfavorably on capital
and labor alike.
The dispatches yesterday brought re-
ports Of meeting of the executive
committee of the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad at which the commit
tee discussed seriously the abandon
ment of the projected line TO the Pa
cifc coast with terminals in Seattle.
President Earring urges the cessation
OF work on the extension if it can be
done without too serious cost in outlay
already made. To provide funds for
this great transcontinental project the
company had issued 100000. 900 in Sc
