They may not actually have started operations but they congregated at the objective point and once the wr settled they will be out like school children at a pienic Ciipple Creck just full of these sturdy at the present time is miners, notwithstand ing the deplorable trouble that is crippiing the newest bot possibly the greatest gold camp in the state, and it is a marvelou sight to one who views a rising camp for th first time, Po wear a high hut is almost an insult. The capitalist and the miner are alike attjred in sensible and suitable cloth ing for the rough travel of the mountain and fashion for the nonce is contemptiously cast aside. Cy man's apt allusion to It is all day in the day is no night at all in Creede, applied to Cripple Creek, or in- the stat Creede a year time and there may i well be 1 to any actual mining camp for that matter, for they are all “much of muchness,” as Mrs. Gamp expresses it, so far as excitement Is concerned, The gambling rooms 1 dance halls, typical of the miners recreation, are well presented at Cripple Creek and afford teodingly novel exhibiiion to a cily man: They are to be found full to byerflow- g auornnig, noon and night, but the midnight hour is the most interesting to the ‘casual observer. Then can be 1 men by the duzen lying curled up asleep in their blankets on” the floor, while ofhers are drinking, playing faro, the fascinating rou- lette, craps, and any other speculative game, As soon as a faro table is deserted it is quickly monopolized as sleeping quarters, perhaps a couple of men seeking the arms of Morpheus on - the table itsell’ and others underneath.

But there is abundant and fairly good accommodation one in the room, for those who can pay for it at Cripple Creek, although the strects are alive with men Just now stopping passersby to ask for the price of a meal. IS A POOR M CAMP. With the near arrival and opening of rail- roads into the camp real estate speculation at Cripple Creek Is decidedly active. A four lot corner at the Palace hotel that could easily be had for a dollar or two a couple of years ago is now held at $20,000 and busi- ness lots on Bennet avenue are supposed to be worth all the way from $5,000 to $500 ea Really busin is conducted practi- cally on a cash basis as nothing less than alf payment down and the balance in sixty vs is accepted. pple Creek is a poor n camp and affords good opportunity to men of limited capital to make a “strike.” Altman, the founder of the active little town on Bull mountain, which is supposed to be the head- quarters of the dissatisfied miners in the present trouble, ran a billiard hall at Colo- rado Springs before he came to try his for- tune in the Criple Creel district, and car- penters, paper hangers, and “all sorts and conditions of men,” have already made a comfortable living out of the hills in this gold region. One of the earliest settlers in the camp is the authority for the statement that the principal mining men of the dis- trict today are men who never before put a pick info the ground. Under present con- ditions it pays to ship ore to the smelt- ers, but with the advent of the railroads and establishment of chemical processes to ireat the mineral in the district, many of the smaller mines will be actively deve oped, and it only requires a prompt settle- ment of existing difficulties with the miners to give the Cripple Creek district the great- est boom in the west. OIL ON THE COAST. There will be another added to the re- sources of Mono county if the reported dis- covery of petroleum on the big island in Mono lake proves to be well founded, says the San Francisco Chronicle. One hundred and sixty acres have been located by the following vamed persons: H. Boone, Judge Chrisf n, Nat Boyd, Charle: Radclilfe, Janes Patterson, Felix Deguire, Pete Leonlette and some other French Canadians. The 2 formed a company and will develop th to ascertain its extent, It is unde Boone will send for a boring machine once, The Deguire but’ did at principal locaters are Leonlette and They struck ofl elght menths ago, not bring in the petroleum until lately. They only received their natural- fzation papers this year. Some of the stuff brought in in a bottle resembles varnish, and some is In a crude state, of a dark greenish color. Both samples have been tested and found to be genuine petrolew 1t has the coal oll smell and it also bu rapldly. The strike has caused great excitement in and ‘around Bodie, and it is stated that an efiort will be made to Interest eastern capital with a view of putting up refining works on a large scale if the flow holds out. As yet only meager particulars are obtainable. The amount of flow cannot now be stated, but it I8 reported to be sufficent to warrant de- velopment. 1t is sald that men were boring to strike water, and were surprised when they struck « flow of petroleum. There is no doubt about the genuineness of the discovery, how- ever, and it s expected that the vicinity will'be the scene of great activity in a few months A WONDERFUL GLACIER. While wielders of the mighty pen are por- traying in many a magazine and paper the grandeur and unparalleled beauty of Wash- ington's glaciers, which are included in the National park of that state, we never see any account of Montana glaclers, which aqual if not, excel any of those in Washing- ton, writes a correspondent of the Anaconda Standard, About Rosebud, s on the t thirteen miles from Cooke, grand and imposing glacier least 150 feet high. Upon its glistening surface the bright sun looks down as It has for ages and in no way affects this icy mirror below. Here and there are immense cracks or fissures where the awe-stricken venturer can look down and down into unknown lepths and imagine how a misstep would send one hurling Into this gloomy abyss—to death and sure preservation from decay i this tomb of ioe. The strangest part of this glacier Is that all over its surface in vast multitudes, and particularly near its base, lle great grass hoppers in a perfect state of proservation at tne base they are heaped up in wind rows and present a curlous spectacle Whence they came or how many have passed since these destroyers of flelds gnd grain came whirring over the moun tain top In this vast army and met death In the ley breath of the glacier beneath? There is fleld for wuch speculation and room for wonder and admiration as we sand and view this vast glicler and its burden of grasshoppers. As we seo with awe the yawning chasm we wonder what lles bepeath In those caves of ice, cold many hued, impenetrable by man. Doubt less many a prospector searching for glist- THE ( AHA DAILY BE ening treasures has stopped to wonder what wealth might be buried forever from the | | reach of man in the fast locked casket of this magnificent glacier. A COMING @GOLD FIBLD. E. A. Smith, an old-time prospector, left the other day for A new gold discovery h he made last fall in the main Rocky In range, about sixty miles north- of Embar postoffice, in Fremont county, on the headwaters of Owl creek, says the Denver Times, His party went In from Market Lake Idaho, in the latter part of August. Thelr discovery Iy a ledge about elghteen inches wide. The foot wall s a gray granite, while the hanging wall s a quartzite. On the foot wall there is a streak from one half to nearly an inch and a half of nearly pure gold. In the two weeks they remained after making the find they sunk an eight- foot hole and pounded out in a hand mortar nearly $700 2 Mr. Smith he will ship in a stamp mill of only one stamp, that Is constructed in 0 that it can be taken in on pack animale, as the country in which they says sections are located i so rough that it is impossible to get mnearer thamtwenty-five miles by wagon, - He thinks the snow wiil have suf- ficiently melted by the middle of June to allow them to begin operations. CATTLE LOSSES In an item recentfy published at Chey enne it was stated (hat, from the best authority, the loss of sheep herds on the range would not be greater than 10 per cent This was Intended to give the entire los of sheep in this sectfon. In the few herds that got scattered the 10ss might reach per cent, but those herds that were kept on bed ground and tallied after the storm, only lost two or threa head, Instead of the loss in sheep being only from 10 to 25 per cent, it is only 10 per cent. Later reports coming in will malke this even less Reports from cattlé, which appear to be based from a railrond -car, would give the impres that the loss was tot Be fore the storm, if we listened to everything and reported accordingly, we could state loss of cattle as high as 95 per eent (why the other 5 was not put on, we don't under stand), and since this storm another 25 pe cent has been reportad. We at once wonde where did the ‘many head actually alive looking well. tince the storm come from Reports are (oo absurd. Cattlemen will find that their loss will be no very great per cent when they take the entire number on the ran d base the per cent of loss of the entire range NORTHERN WYOMING A vigorons protest is being made before the state land board against the selections made of land for state institutions, says a Cheyenne dispatchito the Denver Times The act granting statehood to Wyoming gave the state 600,000 acres of public land for this purpose, to be selected by the state land board. This_selection was not made until 1893, when 576,000 acres were located in the Big Horn basin. The idents claim that this shuts out to a great extent the probability of settlement, as the lands in- clude a large part of the irrigable area, and, by the law's provision, can not be sold for than $10 an acre. and this practically excludes se(tlers, — They also argue that as the state institutions are all in the southern part of the state the northern part should not be crippled for their support.

The Garrison Tribune s it is now a ttled fact that the new San Luis ditch will be built. Another rich strike is reported in the C. 0. D. The vein is said to be over two feet in width, and as a greater depth is reached the ore body seems to increase in value. An oro body four feet wide was recently uncovered in the Coriolanus mine, between Battle and Squaw mountains, Cripple Creek. Part of the vein averages $500 in gold to the ton.

It is be- lieved to be free milling. President Johnson of the Florence & Cripple Creek road says that the construc- tion of the big reduction works is only being delayed so that the mechanical part of the works can be perfected to save 50 cents on a ton in handling. He says $10 ora will be treated with profit. The county commissioners at Boulder have concluded, after a thorough examina~ tion of the Four Mile canon road, to con- struct a mew road from the junction of Boulder canon and Four Mile canon at Oro- del, a distance of about three miles, to a point at the foot of Sunshine road at Lang- del station.

The cattle interests are being pressed 5o closely by the wool producers that people are seriously contemplating going out of the cattle business and engaging in the sheep industry to keep even. The Anaconda Standard is authority for the statement that the losses to the sheep owners of Montana as a result of the recent remarkable storm will be enormous. The cattle men readily concede an aggregate loss of 20 per cent of the range herds of eastern Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska. Later statements in the northern Wyoming press are to the effect that both sheep and cattle losses were over-estimated in that section. A gold-quartz ledge, twenty-four feet wide and assaying $10 to the ton, has been found at Pitt lake, twenty-five miles from Vie- toria, B. C. Tt is considered a peculiarly valuable find on account of its proximity to the transcontinental lines and the large quantity of quartz in sight.

The veln is over 700 feet wide and there are thousands of tons of rich ore in sight. e PLAYED WITH HIS WHISKERS. scade” mountains How a Bat Made Things Lively for a acher. A lively bat entered the Congdon Street church in Providence, R. I, Sunday night and created no end of excitement among the women in the church. Rev. Mr. Johnson was delivering an inspiring discourse upon ““The Negro and the Ballot Box" at the even- ing service. Upon the platform was Rev. Royal H. Brown of Kansas City, who owns a luxuriant growth of black whiskers. In the midst of the most impressive passage the bat entered at an open window and flew at the visiting clergyman from Missourl. In Mr. Brown's black whiskers the bat had a delightful time, and the minister hopped about the pulpit at a lively gait. Some of the colored women got excited and began to shout, and the deacons shied the con- tribution’ basket at the intruder as it sailed about the audience room.

In fact the explanation does not say a word about how the attorney Eot the lots nor how this property happened to be deeded to his sigter and held in trust for Mr. Tipton. His statement that Peter- son can talk and understand English is quite different from that of Peterson's son and other parties whose word cannot be que tioned. But there is more to this deal than has previously been made public. When Mrs. Guillemott and her sisters were arrested at thefr home at Fiftieth and Burdette strects enough goods were found to stock a small second hand store. And these articles belonged to several different parties, who identified their property. From Information gathered from different sources it would seem that Mrs a practice to engage to do for wealthy ladies and while working at such places would steal anything of value which she could carry away unnoticed WHEN SHE WAS SU Several weeks before her arrest connected with the robberies at wick hotel and the Larse Guillemott made it sewing at CTED. for being the Brung- tailor shop Mrs. Guillemott was employed to do some sewing for lady guests and the proprietress of the Madison, a private, fashionable boarding louse at the corner of Twenty-first and Chicago streets. After this woman had been at work there for some time a good m articles of value mysteriously disappe and for the time being suspicion was di- rected toward cutirely innocent peesons. Mrs. Guillemott went to work elsewhere and her arrest followed. When Mrs. Helena A. Lewis, who was then running the Madison, read about Mrs. Guillemott's ar- rest she thought tnat sie would visit the Jail and see if any of her property had been found. The lady was accompanicd by Mrs. Samuel Curtis, Vo had also lost a diamond pin. The ladies were shown into Chief Detective Haze's private office and he brought Mrs Guillemott up from her cell in order that they might question her. Mrs. Guillemott at first denied having stolen anything from the Madison, but finally told Mrs. Lewis that anything that had been stolen from her would be found at her house at the corner of Fiftieth and Burdette streets. The visitors arranged with the chief to go to Mrs. Guillemottt's house the next day and did so. When they visited the house one of the first things that Mrs. Lewis saw was a fine fruit dish belonging to herspit sitting on a table. She readily identified this and a number” of fine hand worked towels, linen and some other silverware belonging to the house and some of her guests. She also saw a large number of pieces of mew dress £00ds which looked as if they had been cut off from the boltsi of cloth in dress-pattern sizes; Oubn. the vard adjoining the one occupled by the: Guillemott. women and her sisters was found a dfine velvet cloak, valued at $75, belonging to Mrs. Lewis and a silver knife and nut picks:belonging to Mrs. Burt, wife of one of the officers of the telephone company. STOLEN STUFF NOT RETURNED. When the ladies had identified their prop- erty Chief Detective Haze said he would have to take it to the station and use it as evidence against the aecused, after which the staff would be returmed. Mrs. Lewis said Tuesday that although she had sent after her property several fimes she had not yet recovered it from thio officers who have it in charge, and no explanation has been offered her as to why they retain the stuff. When Mrs. Lewis was at the house identi- fying her property she was tearfully be- seeched to not prosecute the case by the mother and a younger sister of Mrs. Guillemott, but she Teplied that she pre- ferred to let the law take its course in order to prevent other people from being im- posed upon by a thief in the guise of an honest seamstress. She further told the officers that she was ready to file charges against Mrs. Guillemott for larceny, but was given to understand that there were charges enough already filed to send the woman to the penitentiary and that she would only be wanted as a witness. The case went over to the district court and that was the last heard of it until The Bee printed the fact that the charges against the woman had been dismissed by the county attorney at the request of Attorney Tipton, Mrs. Lewis and others expected to be sub: poenaed as witnesses, and as their testimony was of such a direct nature that conviction would be almost sure to follow people con- versant with the facts are at a loss to under- stand how the county attorney could justly dismiss the complaints without bringing the accused to trial. Mrs. Lewis' son went to the court house, about the time that the article relative to Tipton's possession of Peterson’s lots ap- peared in The Bee, and asked when tite case against Mrs. Guillemott was to come up. He was informed by the county attor- ney that the cases had been dismissed. He thought that this was a strange proceeding and asked why this had been done. He claims that the attorney said that he did s0 because of Tipton's showing or sug- gestion that the woman was not gullty. Mr. Lewis asked why his mother's personal property which had been held as evidence had not been returned to her. He did not recelve much satisfaction, and so the case stands for the present. Mrs. Lewis added further, in her conver- sation with The Bee reporter, that in talk- ing with Chief Detective Haze he said he had recovered six diamond pins and rings which these women had concealed in the chicken house. Part of these jewels be- longed to the landlord and guests of the Brunswick hotel. She also said that when she and Mrs, Curtis drove up to Mrs. Guille- mott's house that an old man tied their horse for them and they wondered what ho was doing there, They asked him some questions and he replied in such broken English that they could hardly understand him, but made out the statement that he was' living at the house of Mrs. Guillemott and her relatives and was doing chores for them.

Are They Lovah Attractive to the M s Henrt, | Junfus Henry Browne discusses in Worth | ington's Magazine the question “Are Intel- | | lectual Women Lovable?” in this strain That old ideas are hard to uproot is at tested by the still prevalent opinion intellectual women are not alluring to man { There may have been a time when many of [ them, in this new country at least, were | without personal charm, having few of the | mentle, winning qualities thought to be | characteristic of and so irresistible In their | that | ox, They were asserted to be unfeminine 1 yet not masculine, beings apparently of | neuter gender, with the defects of both sexes ) and the merits of neither, They were de seribed, especially by writers, as very plain, | angular, shrizl-voiced, ill-dressed, so gener- | ally disagrecable that a man would scarcely have baen drawn to any one of them had he | been cast away with her on a desert island They never could have been half so disen- chanting as represented, but latterly they have lost all the unpleasant properties as cribed to, them.

These have none of the peculiarities fastened on them two or thr generations since, but they are, on the co trary, as attractive in, person, manners and | dress as any one would wish. They are gen- erally surrounded by admiring men, very ready to fall in love with them if the least encouraged, Have the men or the women changed in the last forty or fifty years? Perhaps both have. But surely the intellectual and literary women of today are not diverse from 1 bred, interesting women we meet, they have an_added charm of understanding and grace of speech. They would be diverse, were they egotistic, inflated, pedantic, painfully erudite as not to be turned aside from the presentation of subjects they were absorbed in, as their predecessors are sup- posed to have been.

P FED A BOMB TO A SHARK. Taking Revenge on a Monster Which Had Swallowed n Cabin Boy's Body. One of the oldest sea captains who visit New York is a German who years ago left his fatherland to take service in one of the English vessels plying between London and the Bast Indles. In a conversation a few days ago with a Tribune reporter he gave an account of his ‘“‘most exc!ting experience.” “A great shark,” said he, “had followed us —our vessel was._not very large—for five days, on one of my carly voyages. It was impossible to satisfy his ravenous hunger, and he swallowed almost everything that we threw overboard. ~ We tried in vain to cap- ture the fish, and almost decided to give up the attempt. Then, unhappily, my cabin boy died and we, of course, made prepara- tions to bury him, as sailors wish to be buried, in the depths of the sea. We watched closely for the shark on the morn- ing of the funeral, naturally not wishing him to make a meal of the ship's little favorite. We had not seen him for an hour or more, and believed the time favorable for the burial. But we had been deceived. The body, loaded with cannon balls to carry it to the bottom of the sea, had just touched the water when the great shark opened his mighty jaws and swallowed it. The sailors who "had lowered the body were almost drawn overboard by the force- ful pull " of the shark. This angered the seamen beyond endur- ance and they swore that they would Kill the creature. ~They prepared a bomb, which was made to explode under the water in a certain time, inclosed it in a cowhide and threw it to the shark when he again ap- peared near the ship. The cowhide quickly disappeared. As a rule the shark, after getting something in its mouth, swam away from the vessel a considerable distance in order to eat the morsel. We, of course, expected it to do the same thing this tim as the ship might be endangered by the coming explosion. But, to the terror of all of us, the shark remained in close proximity to the vessel. One of the sailors suggested that the bite was not large enough to In- convenience the monster and proposed that we make a larger package for his stomach, It was done as quickly as posgible. One of the scamen got a sack, which ¥as filled with rags and other useless things, and threw it into the water. The jaws opencd, but he could not get the stuff down his throat easily, so he swam away, to the great de- light of all on board, But the time had not come for the explosion and we waited with quick-beating hearts for it, praying that he would keep away from the ship. We could Just see the fish start below the surface, When a dull sound was heard, the waters parted and flew In the air. The shark was divided into pieces and our danger was past. I shall never forget our terror while the animal remained near us with that bomb In his belly.” Dewlitt's Witch Hazel salve cares piles. IS ESSENTIA BLOOD all imparitisy .
