Here the winter is over and spring is here. Plowing and the putting in of crops by the armers has commenced. Grass is spring- ing up; the stock has wintered well with but little loss and is in good condition. ~ Pros- pects were never better for a good harvest of everything planted and every farmer Is making an extra effort to Increase his acre- age and crops in anticipation of a greater mand for farm products, owing to the in- flux of emigration which is sure to come. Many will coma on account of the rich gold flelds at the head of the Mancos river and its branches, and the unsurpassed mineral wealth of the La Plata mountains, especially in gold, and the rich placer mines along every stream leading from them. Rich dis- coverles are oceurring la the Ute mountaing, which seem (o increase as development DProgresses. There are also the most inexhaustible placer fields of the San Juan river, from the mouth of the Mancos river to the Colorado river, where shipments of placer gold are even now heing made daily, notwithstanding the primitive methods by which the gold is being recovered. With the new and im- provéd machinery now- being introduced our population must increase rapidly. The La Plata gold fields, situated in Monte- zuma and La Plata counties, are unquestion- ably among the richest in the world. Ce tainly they are the most extensive and con- tain the largest gold deposits in the state. Here are large deposits or contact veins of free gold ore and innumerable mines of euriferous sulphides, arainical-phyrituous and tellurium ores, the latter often rich in values per ton, but pockety, the former averaging from $10 to $40 per ton. Arrangements are now belng made for the introduction of the sholoric system and a mill will be erected as soon as a demonstration can be made that this process can treat these ores suc- cessfully. ~ This demonstration will be made by shipping a quantity of the La Plata ores to a plant now in operation, which will de- termine the value of the process for the La Plata mines. ) IMPORTANT DISCOVERIBS. Two discoverles, which have just become public, are of vast -importance to Cripple Creek, as they not only extend the region far north of ‘its previous supposed limits, but, belng widely separated, prove that the mineral bearing beit is fully as wide in this locality as further south. Prospec ors who recently arrived brought news of an immense strike of free gold at a point one mile east of the Midland station in a gold bearing lode The other strike is which i two miles west of here. The ore is reported to run $250 to the ton. It was encountered at a depth of 32 feet, and an assay of twelve and a half ounces was re- turned by Hersey of Leadville. A carload of the mineral is ready for shipment to Denver. CAMP FLOYD PROSPECTS. Some very substantial and gratifying news comes from Camp Floyd, Utah’s great gold fleld, Messrs. Sherman & Jacobs have struck a body of pay ore, one and one-half miles southeast of the Glencoe property and about five miles southeast of the famous Mercur, which enlarges this rich district wonderfully, and verifies hopes and predic- tions of men experienced in mining. Sam- ples of this ore have been brought to this city, and it is almost identical in appes ance with the Mercur and Marion ore, says the Salt Lake Tribune. It carries ciunabar, and an average of a dozen assays shows that It runs from $2 to $7.60 in gold. Tho ore body is being developed by double shifts, and is about four feet in thickness. The strike is an fmportant one for the district, as It shows the vastness of the field, and I8 an indication that the prediction made that it will prove the most wonderful gold belt over discovered is about to be verified by tangible results. Messrs. Sherman & Jacobs have done a great deal of prospecting in the distriet since last November, and the strike 18 the first commerclal ore found by them. They are Colorado men and will endeavor to make the most of the golden opportunity presented to them. BLACK DIAMONDS OF MONTANA. Next fo the gold mines of Montana the coal deposits are today attracting the most attention. It has been known for years that Montana has extensive deposits of coal of excellent quality, but it has only been during the last five years that capital has been interested and has gone system- atlcally to work to develop them. Wher- ever this has been done the investment has pald, and as a result the coal deposits of the state are today more nearly apprecin- ted at their true value than they have ever been before, says the Helena Independent. In fact conservative men say that at the present rate of Increare in production the miming of coal will swon make up for the eiggnation in the silver mining in- dustry, and that in the next five years th coul output in Montana will reach a value that few unacquainted with the subject would belleve. There is no reason why eoal mining In Montana should not have as great a growth as in Colorado, where it has increased from 376,000 tons in 1883 to 4,- 200,000 tons in 1893, The coal output in Montana in 1893 was 500,000 tons, the prin- clpal producers being the Rocky Fork, Helena & Livingston, Sand Coulee and Timberline mines. Al the blg mining companies of the state, such as the Ana- conda, Butte & Hoston, Boston & Montana, Parrot, the works owned by W. A. Clark, and a number of others, are using coal, and the consumption of this fuel by the mining companies will Increase very rapldly from this on, as wood Is Erowing scarcer every yéar and the contractors are compelled to §o every season farther and farther away from the railroad after their supplies. In quality the coal produced in this state in the Ruby mine, { 18 equal both in heattg and ecooking capac- ity to the conl produced both in Wyoming and Colorado. Montana imports thousands of tons of coal every year, but this will pound of coal burned in this state will come out of Montana mines. The larger the rail- road mileage in the state the more valuable do the coal flelds become and the more anxious are capitalists to invest. GOLD MINES AT CREVASSE. Lawrenco Link of Cinnabar, who in in- terested In gold properties at Creveasse, Mont., believes that will be the liveliest camp in the state during the coming n. He says that the Montana Mining and Milling company are only running from five to ten stamps of their mill at present owing to a scarcity of water, but they contemplate the construction of a water ditch this summer which will furnish all the water necessary to run the mill at fts full capacity—twenty stamps. This diteh will tap Knowles' creek, will be about four miles in length and will cost In the nelghborhood of $25,000, Mr. Link also says that the Campbell ciaim has been bonded to a syndicate who will crect a mill on it this and that within the past few days William Snearley has bonded a valuable claim for $7,000 to another syndicate who will also erect a mill this season. He believes that a cus- tom mill at Creveasse would be a good in- vestment, as the Crevasse company does no custom work, and there fs a large quan- tity of ore in small quantities awaiting treatment RIO GRANDE PLACERS E. H. Durgin of this place returned from the newly discovered placers on the Rio Grande sixteen miles east of Tres Plodras, bringing with him at least $1 worth of gold, the result of panning seven shovels full of gravel. It Is all coarse gold, says a s| to the Denver Republican. Among t a nugget worth at least 25 cent fs found fn a bed of gravel on of the Rio Grande. It underlies the malpl and voleanic rocks, and its extent up and down thie river is as yet not known. It is beyond question a rich placer district and unlimited water privileges to work it. There are about twenty miners on the ground, and they held a meeting and passed mining laws and named the district Meigs camp, in honor of R. 8. Meigs, the discoverer of the gravel strata. W. A. Gipson and E. W. IIiff, old Creede miners, acted as chairman and secre- tary of the meeting, which passed resolutions that no stake should hold a claim more than ten days without bona fide work being done on the ground; also, that no claim should cross the Rio Grande, making the center of the stream the dividing line between the enls of claims. £on, ither side THE DAKOTAS, The fce gorge in the Missouri above Cham- berlain has broken. The river is completely filled with running ice, and is slowly rising. At a meeting of the Lake Madison Vet- erans’ association, held at Sioux Falls, it was decided to hold the annual district encamp- ment of this organization in Sioux Falls, June 19, 20 and 21, Four gentlemen, forcrunners of a large Danish colony from Wisconsin, have been looking over Roberts county lands with a view of settling. They express themselves as greatly pleased, and say that about 100 families will be hear in the early spring and buy deeded lands, The Missouri river bridge engineers are still at work sounding the river bed at Yankton for bridge piers. There are twelve men in the gang and they will be employed at this work until April 15. Recent devel- opments indicate that the bridge is to be built for the Great Northern road exclu- sively. Insurance Commisioner Cudhie has fssued an advance statement of the insurance busi- ness done by the fire and marine companies in the state diring the past year. This statement shows that the losses incurred in the state during that time have amounted to $1,210,802.80. The total losses paid during the past year amounted to $1,179,660.85. The artificial rain committee of Brown, Marshall and Spink counties met at Aber- deen and effected a_combinaiion of interests.

Mr. Nel- son, not content with prospecting on the north side, crossed over to the reservation, where he found gold-bearing quartz. Governor Sheldon‘has fssued a proclama- tion quaraniining southern cattle from ex- port into South Dakota. The boundaries of the district quarantined are the same as adopted by the department of agriculture and the restrictions about shipment of cattle from infec'ed districts is the same. The quarantine holds good from March 15 to December 1 of this year. The state Board of Health and the state veterinarian and his deputies are charged with the execution of the proclamution. COLORADO. Three new strikes of gold ore are re- ported in the Bear creek district, Idaho Springs. The city waterworks at Greeley are being improved by the addition of a new pump with a capacity of 1,500,000 gallons daily. The Carr mine, Gilpin county, shipped seventeen cars of gold-iron ore to the smel- ters last week, which netted $100 per ton. A party of Denyer men, among whom is Judge Yeaman, will develop the Phenix mine, Boulder county. Stamps will be used. Gulf railway officials will assist the Cheyenne county commissioners to construct a good wagon bridge across the Platte at Wendover. The question of issning $25,000 in bonds to construct a sewer system will be sub- mitted to the voters of Grand Junction at the municipal election in April. The Camfleld reservoir system near Crow creek is nearing completion, and it s ex- pected that work will al, be done in about thirty days. The system's capacity is about 800,000,000 cubic fee The sheep men are beginning to realize that the Plateau valley in Mesa county is no place for them, and are fast with- drawing their flocks, while the settlers are organized agalnst any new comers. Durngo, says the Herald, is fast filling up with strangers, and by the time snow disappears in the La Platas there will prob- ably be several thousand people ready for the spring campaign among the hills of southwestern Colorado, The excitement over the gold flelds at Canon City s still at fever heat, and sev- cral prospecting outfits have left thére for the new camp. Two town sites have been laic out. It is claimed that one claim which is down ten feet shows wirc gold. Pros- pectors are coming in from other places and from present indications Cripple Creek has got another rival. The Florissant Beacon week while out driving with her father, Miss Mae Frost discovered some very fing | Jasper float. They traced it to a lead which showed a vein running from five to twenty- five feet in length, and showing for over a quarter of a mile. Miss Mae located the clalm and has named it the Sadie D., and will immediately begin developing it. A party of seventy Swedes has arrived at Las Anlmas to examine the agricul- tural lands of the Arkansas valley. They were taken in charge by Manager Cooper of the Calorado Farm, Land and Irrigation company, who provided carriages und drove through the farms of the nosth side. They are all favorably impressed with the lands, and quite a number of them have already expressed their intention to invest und make their honies in the valley WYOMING Arrangements are being perfected for the construction of a creamery at Laramle, Wyo.

Mhis cannot be repro- duced at second-hand and so the writer will not attempt it, but many of the stories are 50 valuable from an historical point ¢ that it would be a loss to the community if they were not prescrved, imperfect as the attempt must necessarsly be, One of these stories of ea related to a Nebraska City recently. It fs as follaws Barly in the '60s John and Jed Gilman kept a ranch at Cottonwood Springs on the Platte river. Hoth were known far and wide throughout this country, and John died only a few years ago in this city. Jed is the jovial farmer who lives just west of the city and has even more friends than he has corn. One winter's night in the early '60s, during a severe and driving storm, an_Indian to the ranch and asked for lodging. was sick and almost dead from exhaus They took him in and made a pallet of skins for ‘him near the fire and there they kept him for several days, taking good care of him until he quite recovered from his sici- ness That crisp ly days was Press reporter Indian’s name was Two-Face. He was @ half-breed, Ogaliala Sioux and Cheyenne, but none of his friends among the white men will ever tell you that his name significant of perfidy. Notwithstanding the end to which he came later, which I shall narrate, he always acted lonorably toward the settlers, and were it not for his generous asslstunce many a_white man would have bit the dust, who lived on to grow rich at the expense of the Indians, Two-Face recovered toward spring from his sickness, but he did not leave the Gil- man ranch. He acted for them as a trader among the Indians, and for about two years went back and forth from the ranch to the tribe- with merchandise and furs, often having in his possession many hundred dollars worth of goods. And in all of his transactions he was found honest and faith- ful. In the winter and 1863-4 Two-Face told the people at the Gilman ranche repeatedly that there was an Indian uprising im- minent, and that it would break out with the opening of spring. He warned them to make all needful preparations and to be on their guard; and the actions of the Indians seemed to establish the truth of what he sald. They had already toward the end of winter begun to make raids upon the ranches and to drive off stock. One night in August, 1864, a runner came to the Gilman ranche from Two-Face. The Indians were ready for the attack, and were even then on the way toward the valley to fall upon the white settlers. The warning had not come any too soon. Believing implicitly in the word of Two- Face, John Gilman took his family and fled to Fort McPherson, fifteen miles west of the ranche, and there they were afforded protection. Jed Gilman and two or three men, one of whom was H. W. Angell of this city, remained behind to do what they could o' protect the property and the cat- tle. They corralled all the stock in the stockade; and with their guns in their hands awaited the coming of the Indians. Jed says now, when reminded of the time, that both e and ‘Angell were so'seared that they wouldn’t have bled a drop if their heads had been cut . off. Well, the Gilman ranche was not molested, except only that a few cattle were driven off, a very inconsiderable loss, but the other set- tlers in the neighborhood were almost ex- terminated. Only a short distance below the Gilman ranche five men werc killed. This was the beginning of what has been known ever since as the Platte Valley Sioux war. Many ranchmen and their families were mas- sacred, their ranches burned and their cattle driven off, and others escaped only by flight. During ail the latteripart of the summer the business of overland transportation was impeded, and the few trains that crossed the plains after that time did so only under guard. Two-Face, the falthful Indian who saved the lives of the Gilmans and many other settlers at that time, was afterwards hung at Fort Laramie at the order of Major Baumer, after whom the Grand Army post in this city has been named. He was accused of complicity in other Indian depre- dations, yet those who knew him best be- lieved him innocent, as he himself claimed. His - friendship and’ gratitude to the white man dated from the time he was taken in and cared for at the Gilman ranche, and just before he was hung he called several of his red brethren about him and made them a speech, as only an eloquent Indian can. With protests of innocence he said that he had ‘always been a friend to the white man, yet this was his reward. He advised them not to follow his example. = And who shall say that the stinging rebuke of Two-Face at the injustice and perfidy of the white man, that went on ringing in the ears of his Sioux comrades, was not one of the incen- tives to the greater uprising of 1876, which culminated in the massacre of Custer's brigade? of Croup and Whooping Cough. “I have three children who are subject to croup, and have found that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will cure them quicker than anything else 1 can get.
