lowing June, when, through for
tunate circumstance. he fell in with
the South Bend company.
BY the time our valiant band of
pioneers had proceeded well on its
way 10 the goal of its hopes and
ambitions news of the failure Of the
mines on Cherry Greek had been
spread broadcast by returning emf
grants. who gave out doleful and
discouraging reports Of mo gold at
Pixies Peak" but, with a purpose
characteristic of South Bend pio-
neers. these determined men plod-
ded on in their dreary and weary
journey, and finally reached Denver
on the first day Of June 1859. on
their arrival they unhappily found
confirmation OF the reported failure
of the mines. but they also heard
during a few days rest preparatory
TO their return journey. that some
men were making day wages at
placer mining on Clear Creek, some
10 miles west of Denver, and 10 this
point they at once made their way.
They arrived ut Clear Creek dig
gings' at 500 o'clock in the after
noon, and, as customary. made camp
and turned their horses out 10 Craze.
II was always the duty of one of
the members of the company to go
out a little before dark and bring in
the horses to be tied up for the night
and on this particular occasion it
was John W. Zigler who performed
this service 4 short time before
Mr. Zigler died he related the fol-
lowing incident TO the writer:
The horses had wandered away
about a mile from the camp, and as
I reached the herd | saw in the
gathering dusk human being ap-
preaching which / mistook for an
Indian. but when he came within
speaking distance and began talking
in plain gut somewhat primitive
English. he introduced himself as
John Gregory and said he was the
man who had discovered gold at
Denver. and related further than
when the pocket played out he had
given up mining and had Joined

been living with them ever since. He
also said that the Indians and him

Certain circumstances preceding
this last great event require some
reference TO an uneducated but eX-
perienced miner named John
Gregory. who had gained minor
knowledge i'm the small gold fields
i'm the hills of Georgia. During the
early spring OF 1858 Mr. Gregory
and companion left their southern
homes and started FOR the gold fields
OF California by way OF the old Sante
Re trail When they reached The
vicinity Of Pixies peak in the Rocky
mountains they began prospecting
for gold along the numerous streams
of water running from the noun
tJins out through the plains. From
the very first they found what
miners call color" tshght indica-
ton of goldl. and finally abandoned
the California trip and proceeded in
their INVESTIGATIONS. working north
from the Hrst indication OF valuable
mineral deposits By mid-summer
they had reached one OF the tribu-
jsries of the south branch OF the
Platte river. where the city OF Den
yer now stands. and found substan-
tial indications OF the existence of

imports during the year imme.
diately preceding the war, just
as there had been a constantly
continuing increase in our i'm.
ports both under the Dingley
tariff ard the Payne Aldrich tar.
iff, but the ratio of increase in
our total, as of our free imports
under the Democratic tariff, were,
during that period, no greater,
indeed, not so great. as the aver.
age annual increase under the
Payne -Aldrich tariff during its
whole life. Indeed, our imports
for that year were $12O, 900, 0OC
less than / estimated when I, as
chairman of the Finance commit
tee. reported the bill to the Sen.
ate in 1913"
Democrats point out that this
is a further confession of failure
of the Underwood Simmons law.
If the bill did not encourage i'm
ports, as Simmons declares it did
not, then the Democratic tariff
theory goes to the discard, and
what is the use of giving public
ity to its failure? The people
know that the law was a failure
as a revenue producer, that it did
cause business depression, and
now Simmons has robbed the free
traders of their last argument in
favor of the Democratic law by
declaring it was not an encour-
ager of imports, a falsehood which
the party is estopped to deny.
Altogether, Senator SimmOps has
got himself in dutch, = and will
probably keep quiet the rest of
the year.

Columbus, o. (Spocial.) - Indus
trial Commissioner Williams of Col
o"ado was in Columbus recently at,
tending TIE national convention OF the
state industrial commission boards.
In an address before the convention
regarding recent strikes in his state.
Mr. Williams explained how pronibi-
ton had aided in the settlement Of
these strikes. The passions o, the
ren were not inf1amed by drink, there
was less violence. and arbitration was
r.ade easier and more satisfactory. .
Mr.. Williams asserts that prohibit
ton is exceedingly popular in Col
CIado, as the state is now more pros
porous than at any time during the
years the licensed saloons were in
operation. Banks are full of money.
there is plenty of work for everybody
al d good wages, and the men are buy

each year over saloon bars.
Under the prohibition law OF Col
orado packages of liquor shipped into
the state must he accounted for and
g record filed with the secretary o.
state by the railroads During the
month of March railroads reported
E,1S6 packages of liquor shipped into
the city of Denver, the value of the
liquor so imported being $4,000.
Prior to Colorado becoming dry Den
yer had 465 licensed saloons and sew
eral hundred other places aside from
drug stores, which held internal rev.
Gnue receipts.
1t is estimated that wnen Denver
lad her 465 saloons her liquor bill
vas $6,000,000 a year. or $500,00O a
month. As the March importations
of liquor, according to the ofieia!
records, were but $4,000, Denver in
that one month saved $450.000, which
under the license system would nave
been spent for booze.
The liquor press is trying to make
capital out of the amount of intox-
itants now being shipped into Denver,
hut these official records show that
tlis amount is but a drop in the
bucket compared with the volume Of
liquor sold in that city when saloons
we're permitted.
Mr.. Williams says many former
liquor dealers are making good in
other lines OF business and expressed
themselves as being glad they are not
selling liquor Those who wanted to
keep on selling intoxicants have NOV
ed to other states, and with them
have gone the thugs, gamblers and
that undesirable element which is
Getriment to the state.
There IS some talk on the part of
tie old liquor crowd about resubnit-
ting prohibition at the coming cleo
ton this year Mr.. Williams is Of the
opinion that if this is done Colorado
will roll up much heavier dry ma
1ority than when she last voted.
