& o . FORTUNES OF CRIPPLE CREEK Its Third Railroad, Now Burveyed, Will Terminate at Colorado Springs. LABOR TROUBLES GREATLY EXAGGERATED Rumors Floating at Leadville of a Fabulous Strike—A Forty-Foot Shark, Weighing Ca d at Tons, Over Thirly Monterey - Northwestern News. Prospects that the third railroad to Crip- ple Creek will be bullt from Colorado Springs by way of Bear Creek canon are becom ing very bright, says a dispatch to the Den- ver Times. H. I Reld has completed a survey, which shows a grade of only 1 per cont for of the way. The distance to the camp, as run, is but twenty-one mil easlly covered in less than two hour The road up the canon for &ix a of most 1 one- fourth miles Is to be cog, with a & of 121 per cent, Instead of 10 per cent, as first Tun *rom Bear creek divide to S lakes divide, two and one-fourth miles, to Middle Bear croek, one one-fourth miles it s 3 cent. The road at this point passes a quarter of a mile west of the Seven Lakes hotel vo miles from here is the Rasp berry mountain pass, at an clevation of 11,170 feet. From that point it descends on a 3 per cent g to West Beaver cres passes through Bison park, and to West Beaver crc which 1s crossed 400 feet from the Summit company's mill. Tende foot hill pass is crossed at the same point used by the Hayden divide toil road. Krom that point it is one and seven his miles to Cripple Creek on a 6 per cent grade The greater portion is easily constructed and will not be even as costly as ordinary mountain road As 18 now contemplated four trains a day will be running to accommedate the passenger traffic, and two trains a day from Cripple Creck would carry out about all e output of the mines at the present tim and four trains a day from Cripple Creek would certainly dxhaust the output of the With the short ation of the to come, safe transpo camp for all distance and ores, it 18 not overestimating it to say that a majority of the ore could be treated in the Pueblo smelters five hours after it is holsted from the mines at Cripple Creek, and returns rgade complete within three to five days after shipment, which would make it advantageous in every respect to every man interested in any way with the mining industry. Domestic affairs n the Cripple district aro being so greatly exaggerated by the press of the country, that an impression seems to have become circulated through- pple Creek cond *“Coeur west that Cf out the east and is at present suffering a s d'Alene’” trouble. This is not the case however. There Is not a more order! mining camp in the west than Cripple Creek. It is true, capital and labor are ut variance, and pending a settlement, the majority of the ‘“produccrs” have been closed down. This is but a repetition of the experience of ali the prominent mining camps of our country. That the present state of affairs has greatly affected the business of the camp is readily admitted. That good sense and moral suasion does and will control the present trouble is also a fact. Allowing this to be the case, is it advisable or kind to circulate wild reports that would nat- urally have a tendency to participate further disruptions? Cripple’s troubles can be settled amic- ably if ‘“‘would- mischief makers and busy bodies could be kept outside the cir- cle. There is no animosity existing between employers and employes, simply a difference of opinion, and this they themselves are eminently fitted to settle without any out- side interference. THE LUCKY THIRTEEN. A splendid_strike was made last week in a claim on Bull hill, known as the Lucky Thirteen. It is owned by J. G. Woodruff, D. F. Fletch and W. B. Cooper. The ore rTuns $250 a ton. Development is progressing rapldly on the Pug, another Bull hill claim. The shaft is now down sixty feet and a good vein has been encountered, which runs from $30 to $150 a ton. Excellent ore Is_being hoisted from the north shaft of the Wolfe lease on the Orpha May. It is very high grade stuff and bucket after bucket shows free gold in quantity, the yellow metal being scattered through the ore in pleces as big as grains of wheat, A thirteen-inch streak averages $380 a ton. The Lafayette, on Bull hill, has made a rich strike at a depth of fifty feet, a few feet from the west side line. The == is ‘wonderfully rich. It s iron and manga- nese, and sixteen sacks of it brought to town ylelded assays ranging from $2,000 to $8,000 a ton. EXCITEMENT AT LEADVILLE. Leadville Is agaln in a quiver of excite- ment. For several days past there have been quiet whispers of immense gold strikes made in the vicinity of the Littla Johnnie, but the owners of the property in that dis. trict keep very still, refusing to reveal any- thing regarding the matter, says a special to the Rocky Mountain News. Nevertheless it 18 based .on reliable information, and sooner or later the matter must como to light, A rumor afloat is to the effect tha Henry Smith, a leaser on the Garbut, located near the Little Johnnie, California mining dis- trict, has struck a vein yielding 1 ounces in gold and 400 ounces in sllver. Of course, this may be exagg , but it is sure there has been a rich strike in this proper It is also reported that another big body of old has been met within the Fanny Raw- lings. The managers will not say what the highest assay is, but say the lowest is one ounce In goid. Some mining men say that Leadville is to receive a startling revelation in the next few days. It is hoped some- {hing definite may bo learned in a day or wo. A MONSTER SHARK A monster baskIng shark, probably the largest ever captured on this coast, was caught about 500 yards from the Del Monte bath house whart and towed ashore, says a Monterey dispatch to the San Franeisco Examiner. S. M. Duarte, a fisherman, had set his nets for small fish the night before, and accompa- nied by his partner set out to take in the cateh. Upon their arrival they were some- what startled and vexed to find that their nets had disappeared from vie Rowing around for a while they at last discovered fragments of the nets, and when they found some of the floats they proceeded to in- vestigate. Slowly they hauled In the lines to which the floats were fastened, and after tugging away for a while up came a large dark ob- Ject In & tangle of netting. It was the car- cass of a busking shark that came to view. There lay the big fish with the waves rip- pling against its dun sides for a length of forty feot Then the flshermen began the tedious task of recovering the remains of the nets in which tho fish had entangled itself. With much difficulty they accomplished this, A rope was passed through the large fins and the fishermen towed their prize to the Mon- wharf. They made the trip of half a in just three hours and thirty-five min- utes. Orowds soon began to gather “while the fishermen were mooring the fish to the plles of the wharf. When asked by the Examiner correspondent if it was a frequent occurrence to catch such a large fish so near the land, the fishermen stated that it was the first time that 50 big a fish had been caught at Monterey, and they say they cannot account for its being there 1t will be remembered that a basking shark was caught botween Sata Cruz and Monterey some months ago, and It Is generally thought that this is its mate. This supposition is bo- Lieved, as these fish go in pairs. For several years the Hritish museum has offered a reward of $1,000 for the skin of & basking shark, as there is no perfect speci- men of this fish in existence in the world, unless 1t is tho which Stanford univer- sity bought s nonths ago, but whether the curing of that specimen was & success s not known Tho spe dom ¢ one imen is not rare ught.

The state of South Dakota has formally accopted the Fort Randall military reserva tlon, which reverted back to the government when vacated over a year ago, says the Sfoux Falls Argus-Leader. It was ceded to the state under the indemr act by an appropriation bill passed March 3, 1893, Sen- ator Pettigrew getting the amendment through Ahis reservation comprises about 96,000 acres of choice farming and grazing lands in South Dakota end Nebraska, fully thr fourths lying within the boundaries of this state. as a river frontage of twenty- seven A good many squatters are located on the land along the river and streams, and more are settling thereon every diy.

One died from exposure and lack of food. The others are doing what they can to make a living in Ielena. Grove's fabulous bonanza mine has been hed for a debt of $200. News was received a few days g0 that Grove had recruited another colony at Lex- ington, K and would bring them on. If they come they will find that Grove's visions of a great city of colored men, for colored men, by colored men, is a fraud and a myth, and they, too, will have to look to the charity of the people for bread to eat. VERY ANCIENT RELICS, Mr. Eagan of the Canadian Pacific rail. road, who recently arrived from Lylton, B. C., reports in the San Francisco Chronicle the unearthing from the ancient Indian burys ing ground near that town, from the grave of a presumably prehistoric Siwash, two crockery plates with scenes of Siwash life rudely painted upon them. The cemetery is in one sense prehistoric, for the Indians in the surrounding country say that their most ancient traditions do not tell of a burying ground in that viciniy. The city of the ancient dead is white with human bones that the ages have turned into lime, but jawbones with perfectly preserved teeth and human skulls are abundant. One skull has been unearthed running to a point at the apex and measuring nine inches from the bridge of the nose to the crown of the head. The countless arrow heads are of agate, beautifully formed and very large. Many stone bowls have also been found, some with human faces carved upon them. NEBRASKA. Bloomfield needs an opera house.

It only took one ballot for the jury to decide in favor of the prisoner. It has been suggested that J. Warren Kelfer, be nominated for the legislature by the republicans of Nicholls county. J Warren's claim to fame is that he is the son of his father, and people with good memories may recollect that the “old man” was once speaker of the national house of representa- tives. If the storles told by the Blalr papers ot the treatment by Oliver Huddleson of his wife, who has just died, are in any degrea corréct, no punishment that could be meted out to him by any human tribunal could como up to his deserts. The hottest corner in Hades is belng reserved for mer of just his stamp. A careless hunter shooting at prairle chick ens on the fly missed his mark and the bullet struck the horse of Clate Riley as he was returning to Osceola from Shelby. The accident took place about two miles from home and Riley drove forward into town, where he bad the wounded animal at- tended to. George Widner, at one time a painter resi- dent at Lyons, has been killed in a horrible manner at Whiting, Ind. He was caught in the belt of some machinery and was thrown thirty feet.

The Two Kettle band of Indians who re- side west of Plerre upon alloted lands along the Bad river will be furnished with fencing this year, which will enable them to engage more extensively in farming.
