Gold Discovery Makes No Difference

Gold Discovery Makes No Difference.
Denver-Claims that gold running

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-
voir and Irrigation Company. At,
Golden the jury decided that the land
is worth S6750 an acre, and no more,
and unless an appeal to a higher court
results in a 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 Il result of drilling for coal. an
nCunced that the drills, at a depth of
something over 700 feet had pene-
trated a blanket vein of gold ore as
saying S2S a ton. News of the find ere
ated a mild excitement, and for a few
days geological experts were busy af-
firming and denying that such find
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 if the irrigation company
carries out its plans, the gold find
will be covered with a few score feet
of water as a reservoir site.
The farmers most concerned have
maintained that the Farmers Reser-
voir and Irrigation Company never in
tended to build reservoir. but was in
reality anxious to get possession OF
the land because of the coal beds un-
derlying it. This is denied by the
company which states that work will
begin or dam as soon as title to the
site is secured.
The total amount of land passed
upon by the jury, and which is wanted
by the irrigation company, is 492 acres.
By the verdict the value of this acre
age is fixed at S33 ,260

Colorado Springs.-"Tll stay In Jail
until | rot before | tell them where
the books are, unless they pay me
what is due me first" declares Miss
Exine L. Fuller, young, handsome and
determined. now confined in jail Tor
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 Teton
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 $50 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
Just 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 it 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.

Annoy, CHINA great battle be,
tween the imperial troops and rebels
is reported in progress near Swatow.
Thousands of men are engaged. No
word has been received Eere as to
which side has the best of the fighting,
While the movements OF the rebel
and imperial armies are not definitely
known, it is believed the soldiers were
able to overhaul the revolutionists In
the race for Swatow. 1t is hoped the
troops will be able to prevent the reb'
els from capturing the seaport, but II
iJ admitted by the authorities that the
issue is in doubt.
Fighting in the recent battle, while
not long continued. was of the fiercest
character. In very short engage
ment nearly 900 men fell. The rebels
were heaviest losers in the fight and
quickly retired. 1t is believed only
their advance guard was engaged and
that with the arrival of reinforcements
the struggle for the possession oi
Swatow was resumed.
That the rebels in the neighborhood
of Swatow far outnumber the troops
IL well known. Reports are that as
many as 10000 armed men are in the
rebel army. 1t is doubtful if the i'm
perial forces number over 1000 men
The soldiers, of course, have the ad'
vantages of training and discipline and
superior arms, but it is known that
many former army officers are VIII
the rebels. and they have been able
to bring the rebel forces to higher
state of efficiency than usually obtains
among revolutionists.
Throughout China the situation is
much worse, and every dispatch says
the revolt is spreading. Another rebe!
army was reported near Chang Chow
threatening to attack that city, one OF
the largest in Follien province. Three
provinces are now affected by the re
volt. and agitators have been dis
patched into other provinces to arouse

hands of the revolutionists 1t VIII give

1t Will be noted that some OF the
pi incipal varieties show marked in
crease in prices this season, and In
spite of the higher values noted there
is less unsold stock In the market to-
day than was the case last year. In
this connection prominent operator
said to a reporter for the Guide on
Thursday: "There is still good deal
of ordinary stock coming into the
market from up.river sections, and
some OF this stock, condition consid-
cred, Is doing remarkably we'll. There
Is no accumulation worthy OF the
name to hamper the dealers. 1t is
true q share Of the stock arriving this
week did not bring its value because
of the financial conditions and the
holiday interval, but shippers are not
complaining. The market as a whole
is fully 81 per barrel better than it
W today year ago, in addition to
fruit coming forward. Up In the
Rochester section my advices state
that the apple harvest is practically
closed. The crop there has been SO
small in comparison with the usual
yield that the unsold balance in grow
ers aDd speculators' hands Is being
safely housed. Most of the fruit In
that section has been contracted for,
but The few growers who have apples
above the average are holding their
fruit for higher market.
"lf, as it is reported, the United
States crop is only $4,000, 900 barrels,
there ia bound to be higher market,
and the holders OF fruit late In the
winter will reap considerable croft,
provided the stock is well stored.
There is going to be shortage Of the
fruit for the late winter wants, and,
in my opinion, instead of lower val
ues Oh even common stock, there will
be higher prices There IL no other
fruit that can take the place of the
a lple, and while for a time
consumers may leave it alone for
oranges they invariably come back to
it. There has bean some buying of

ONIONS AND ASPARAGUS.
The Manner Of Bunchins and Packing
For Market.

The Manner Of Bunching and Packing
For Market.
Like asparagus and rhubarb, winter
onions planted last falD are harvest
ed at time when It is comparatively
easy to get help 70 take care OF them.
Women and girls are usually employed
to clean, bunch and tie them. From
four to six onions nre put into bunch,
depending upon the size. They are
shipped In fiat cases which have a
division through the center. The on
ions. after they are punched and tied,
are cut In lengths about an inch shorter
than the space between the ends OF
the crate and the division board. In
packing the punches are placed length
wise OF the crate. BY placing the
butts OF the first layer snugly against
the end OF the crate and those OF the
next against the division board an inch
space is left between each layer OF
onions. This space Affords ventilation
and prevents heating. A crate holds
ten dozen lunches. Onions must be
cleaned. punched and packed just right
to secure the top price on the market.
II the cases are 'slack packed they
are docked. If packed too full and
close the onions are liable to heat.
Asparagus should be cut clean every
day. taking the small as well as the
large stalks. To get the most out OF
asparagus strict attention must be Civ
en- to all the details OF cutting. sort
ing, punching, tying and marketing.
The stalks should not be left long In
the sun after they are cut. The bese
growers make three grades. and those
catering to a fancy market use a DIFF
ferent colored tie for each grade. Mar
row tape Is generally used.
The demands OF the different mar
lzets vary in regard TO size OF bunches,
length OF stalks and kind OF package?
No general rules can be applied to
these matters.-Farm Journal.
