Jan. 6.—[Special Corre- spondenceof Trn Bre. ] —There has been more | talk about gold mines than politics at the | capitol this k recent discoveries near Durango in Colorado leading statesmen have made or lost money in mines and you hear more gossip | about fortunes in gold and silver than about | the monetary conference or the new schemes | for equalizing the r arly every sen- | ator has at some time or other been engaged | in mining and quite a number of the mem- burs of both houses are interested in gold mines in the south, The late Senator Hearst had mineral fields in the Carolinas and John ©. Spooner used to keepa quart cup of gold nuggets on his library table which had been taken out of these diggings ator Sawyer made the only bad specula- tion of his whole life in his gold mine near Washington and 1 learned the other night that he has put £30,000 into the red el white quartz lands along Rock creck., is a sprinkling of gold all over the South Atlantic states and the veins run up through Virginia and crop out here and there about the national capital. Just above the city very good indications have been found, and a year ago Suwyer bought about 400 acres old land and st oxperts to mining it. A stamping mill was put up and shafts were sunken, and T understand today that the out- put is between $30,000 and §5,000 behind the expenso account. In fact, the irreverent people about the scnate who have been out to look at the land facetiously say that “‘the only things you can raise on it are hell and Christmas trecs.” Its sole value consists in the gold under it, and this seems to be liko the Irishman's ilea—“when you put your finger on it you find it is not there.” Senator Wolcott' he \ave who of this Big Minlng Speculation, I called upon Senator Henry M. Teller last night and chatted with him about Colorado’s new mineral regions. He said e supposed the roport was to a large extent sensational, but that the mineral regions of the west were as yet practically unprospected and no one could prophecy as to the “finds” of the future, “We know." said he, “more about mining than we did in the past and some of the ground which has been gone over again and again has been lately found to contain mines which are turning out_for- tunes and the Creede and Cripple Creek regions are still doing well. Colorado ha vast amount of mineral. wealth can never know what will be the discoveries of the next few weeks.” 2 “How about Senator Wolcott's mine?" “Senator Wolcott is interested ina num- ber of mines,” replicd Senator Teller, “and he has ma 1 of money in min- ing. Heis a shrewd investor and he has many mining friends. I am told that he ha made $125,000 during the past year out of h Creede mine, and the story of this mine illus- trates how casily and how quickly a man may make a fortune in precious metals. The ion by a friend of his named Saundc man who | has made several fortunes in mining. Saun- | ders had been offered the mine for 000, of which 0,000 was to be paid in cash and the remaining 70,000 was to be delivered within six months after the taking of the mine. Saunders said that he had ex: the mine d that it promised and he ad 1 Wolcott to take interest. This Wolcott did and over 83,000, his share of the cash Wolcott's brother took another tenth and thedeal was consummated o year ago. 1 don't think the stockholders paid anything except this first £0,000. Tho mine turned out well from the start. During 1ts first three months they took out enough ore to pay the $70,000 which they owed and within a year from the time they bought it they had reimbursed themsolves the 30,000 they had put in and had taken out a million and a quarter dollars’ worth of ore, which is_all clear profit. There scems to be no end to the lead and they are doing bettor than ever. Senator Wolcott's share of this amount, as I have said, would be $125,000 and he is a lucky speculator.” . Senators Who Raise Fish, “ls Semator Wolcott much of & money spender?” 1 asked. “Yes," was tho rop! living well.

Wolcott is fond of fishing and he has dredged a big fish pond out of the flat 8oil and he is trying to raise game fish in it.” “By the way, senator, how about thut big farm of yours in southern Colorado? I have heard it said that you have more land than any other senatoc?” T don't think that statement 1s corre replied Senator Teller. “Senator Stanford has tens of thousands of acre could drop Washington City dow tor Sawyes big Texas f: for days among the vas without knowing it was there. other senators have large have.

He lives, you kn at Oshkosh. When this base ball' éraze went over the country thé Oshkosh bays wanted to establish a club, Edgar yor, the sen- ator's son, and who, by the way, looks almost as old as tho scuator himself, was anxious to see the club succeed and he gave them 82,500 to organize it and get good men as pl Somehow or other the nine ‘was mot & successful one. It was beaten again and again, and at last the Minneapolis club came down to play it. The Minncapolis nine was a celebrated one in the northwest and their coming o Oshkosh was quite an event. Edgar Saw- yer took his father out along with him to see it and the two sat side by side on the grand stand, The Minneapolis club white- washed the Oshkosh boys from the start. The strikers would send a ball out into right field away out of reach of the ficlder, and the man would get in a home run without' trouble. The next man would send a ball away over into the left field, and he would make an- other home run. ' This went for several innings, until at last the sena could stand it no longer, and left. As he went out he suid to a friend: is is my l)n{)' Edgar's nine out there, and he put $2.600 into it to make it go.

The Germs May He in a Parls Library or a Woman's Braln, And now that crinoline and hoop- skirts, to the aisgust and dismay of all sensible women, have neen formally de- clared the fashion in Paris, a sudden curiosity asks: Whenco and how aviso these evor-varying, never-to-be-dis- obeyed dictums of that intangiblo power, fashion? All women know that in Paris the conception and fulfillment of every mode first appears, ns the cholera first shows its head 1n Asia. Then, as the cholera, the French-born fashion spreads like wild fire through the western world, and no quarantine can stay its course or prevent its voluntary adoption. Whence came ;tho trained skirt, the crownless bonnet, the rosette, and today the wretched eringline? From Paris. Why Paris? Begause, in the French capital the propagation of fashion germs, as one might call them, is a wreat and honorable profession, carried to its highest point of perfection, and more or less followed by every dress- maker. This is how a fashion ismade: In the summer months, when Paris is empty of carringe folk and the business day i aull, the libraries, where, in dusty rani the books of reference, and in the picture shops, the littl2 dressmaker and the sartorial artist of wealth and fame engerly con dusty'illustrated tomes and the portraited elogantes of other cen- turi They are searching for ‘an idea for something new, for a cit or color, & bow or rufile that by reason of long disuse has revived its youth, and convention- alized and adapted to modern fabrics will pass as & novelty. Thoe head of a great establishment, though ho knows his public, enjoys a world-wide nume for skill and high prices, and is an authority onall matters reluting to his art, studies long and deeply, ponders carefully, and labors as- siduously when he is about to introduce a new fashion. A manager with his play, a publisher with his book, are not more wary and thoughtful of the public taste and pref- erences than the great dressmalker about to design his model costumes. His fabr from the manufacturers must be ordered, their color, texture, ete., decided upon, a thousand ventures and expeuses must be incurred and should his ideas. not find appreciation, the loss would be terrible. The world islovking to Paris for idens that must be forthcoming. At a moment an inspivation arrives, or, happier @ispensation of Providence, a timid little woman, who at bare living prices has been making gowns for slow- paying ladies, comes trembling in to reveal to monsieur her conception, her design. She details her echeme, duces a drawing. He knows—ex- perience has taught him — that among the dusty prints and in her own busy ambitious brain the little dressmaker has fallen on the design that will dominate the scason. Happy fortune for the little dressmaker! for monsieur’s gratitude has a_practical as well as spiritunl side, and her narrow road in this world begins to wind up the mountain of succ little ink s pire from by long Ct aves, wh nd finish striking or pro- JF | ADIES EXPECTING ToBECOME ) % [ MOTHERS " MOTHERS" Avic T?‘fliflj ELD REGULATOR €0.
