WASHINGTON , Fob. 20. [ Special Corre
spondence of Till : BCE.J The now gold and
liver mines which arc being developed in
Colorado are creating considerable interest
at Washington. A largo u umber of the
senators are interested in ono way or another
in mining , and tbero are a baker's dozen ol
them who have unanclal ventures out on
gold or silver teas. Senator Sawyer U still
working bis gold mines near Washington.
Those are about lUteon miles up tbo Potomac ,
where the senator owns about 400 acres of
land and where ho has a llttla stamp mill ,
which runs along pounding the quartz to
plocos , but which , up to the present wilting ,
lias not made a fortune for Its owner. Some
largo nuggets have been found and seine of
the quartz Is very rich and for a tnno the
AVcrago of the stamp mill was $33 a ton. On
the whole , however , I understand that ttio
mine has not paid and it U a repetition of
the old story of southern mines. I Inter
viewed Thoaias Edison last summer on the
mines of North Carolina and ho told mo that
every farm in the state seemed to have a
qold mine , but that nouo of these mines were
valuable enough to pay for tha working. Ho
said tbo slaves hud duii for their masters all
of the gold out of the south and that the
most of It lay in pockets rather than In largo
volne. Still , a number of tbo senator * are
'investing in North Carolina ralnos , and Sena
tor Spooiior aud tbo late Senator Hearst bad ,
what they considered , a very valuable load.
Spoonor had a number of largo nuegots of
tbo purest of pure gold which ho Kept on his
library table aud showed to bis brother sena
tors whoa they visited him. There were
enouch of tbcso nuggets to have tilled a
quart measure , and they were of all shapes
and of different size ? . Senator Plumb hud
some Interests In the south , but ha owned
some very valuable mines In Colorado nnd ho
was , I think , Interested In tbo Llttlo Pitts-
burg and other nunas at Leadvlllo ,
A Chut ulth Senator Teller.
I chattoa with Senator Teller last nlgbt
bout the Colorado mines. Ho says a great
deal of line gold-bearing rock Is being gotten
out at Cripple Creole under the shadow of
Plko's Peak aud that this promises to bo ono
of the great gold camps of tbo future. Pco
plo uro corning in from everywhere to pros
pect and speculate aud two railroads lm\o
boon surveyed which will open up the region.
As it now is , it is only eighteen mlios from
tbo railroad and there will not bo much trou-
bio In connecting it with the rest of the
world. Senator Teller says that the now sil
ver mluos which have been opened up at
Ci'eedo , Col. , are of wonderful richness and
that the indications are that this locality may
become a second Loadvillo. It Is hero that
Bouator Wolcott ana his brother Henry have
a mine wl'lch they bought last fall In con-
uectlou wllu two other partloa for $100,000.

They paid ? 30,000 cash and were to pay the
remaining 70,000 by tbo first of next Juno.
Tholr mliio had paid from the start and they
hud gotten enough out of It by the middle of
January to pay the $100,000 for which it was
soldlo them , and all that they cctnow is pure
profit. The mine has turned out thousands
of dollars a day , and during the month of
January it turned out moro than $07,000. The
mine cost Senator \ \ olcott a cash payment of
only $7,500 , and if it lasts it will make him
rich. This will , however , not bo the llrst
time ho has made money in mines. Ho medo ,
it Is said , boiwccn $100,000 und $ .200,000 out of
a < mo ho bought in Loadvillp , and his
brother aud himself are said to bo among the
shrewdest of investors and speculators ,
Uuvo Mollatt of Drnvor'd 1,039 and Gain ,
Senator Teller says that Dave Moffatt , the
Denver millionaire , has largo interests ut
Crccdo nnd that be is making a big thing out
of tbo mine at Leadvlllo lor which ho paid
(70,000 shortly bcforo the bank robber bull
dozed him 'out of that $20,000 with dynamite ,
und that this * mine , instead of being a poor
investment , hits been an excellent ono.
Moffatt , It Is said , considered it worth noth
ing for some time nnd bis Irlonds pitied him
and condoled with him about his bud pur
chase. You will remember how the robber
drew a pistol on Moffatt in his private room ,
and with this in ono bund nnd a bottle of
some kind of liquid In the other which ho
said was nltro-giycerino , threatened to blow
Moffntt and the bank up unless ho would
wrlto out him a check on the bank for
{ w'0,000 and got him the money on it. Moffatt
looked Into the shining barrel of the re
volver. Ho glanced with terror ai the
curiously shaped bottle of curiously colored
IIuld , and , seeing that there was nothing at
his hand with which ho could defend him
self , ho wrote the chock and accompanied by
tha man with the dungoious uottlu
in bis hand bo walked to the cashier's
desk und handed over tlio check tn the cash
ier , saying1 in a low voice"This man is
robbing me. " The cashier , however , thought
ho was referring to t > omo new mine hu bad
bought , nnd Ills mind wont atthotlmo to
this $70,000 mliio which was then thought to
have turned out badly and ho handed the
money over tn Moffatt. MolTatt cavu it to
the man and ho rubtiod from the bank , and
though MolTutt raised a hue and cry ho was
abiu to escape. * Ho threw off his coat in
doing so , and In it the bottle was found , and
the supposed nltro-glvcurluo turned out to bo
swcot oil. Tbls thief was never discovered ,
but tnu $70,000 mine speculation which prom
ised so poorlyand which indirectly aided the
villain , has slued paid several times as much
as Moffatt's loss by him ,
j\-Sfiiator : Tuber unit Ills Mexican Milieu.
Ex-Senator Tabor of Colorado was in
Washington a few days ago , and during bis
stay hero ho said that ho wus going to muko
a big fortune out of his Mexican mines , his
suits concerning which have Just boun sot-
tied in his favor , These uro old mines which
are bolucr roworltod , und Tabor paid , I am
told , $ .K,000 for his intorcbt in them , and bo
contracted at tbo same time to put up stump
mills und to build such machinery us would
onublo them to go in at the sldo of tbo moun
tain und gut right at the uro.it vein of ere In
that way. Tabor put up bis stamp mills , nnd
whllo tba minors were digging thuir way into
the sldo of the hill.ho ucpan to work over the
refuse ere which had been cast nilao us not
valuable enough to pay for shipping or re
duction. Ho found that tbo output was very
largo uud ho wanted to keep on working his
mill on this refuse rather than bother about
the other part of the mint. * , und I think It
was upon this ucllon thut liouns sued ser
bruiich of contract. Colorado inun toll mo
thai Tabor is a very shrewd mining ipcou *
lutor , and that ho Is a careful business man.
Ho is said to bo richer now than ever un-i
though ho continually loses fortunes , ho
keeps oo making them. His opera house

panco has turned out to bo tbo most profit-

Matrimony and the Millionaire.
Senator Tabor might have had a fair repu
tation as a business man and as a practical
millionaire bad ho kept out of politics. But
ho lost his head when ho made his million in
less than a month , and nothing but a spick-
span now wlfo and n famous position would
satisfy him. The story of his divorce from
the woman with whom ho had lived and
worked all his life , of tils marriage in a justice -
tico of lliu ponce's ofllco in St. Louis to a di
vorced woman and the jolto which bo perpe
trated upon President Arthur and Washing
ton society when ho Brought this woman to
Washington and here married her , as It was
supposed far tbo llrst time , would make ono
of tbo most Interesting plays that could bo
bated on American history. For thirty days
Tabor was in the senate. I don't know bow
many thousana dollars his life here cost him.
His wedding dinner at Willard's hotel was a
most gorgeous ono , and tbo day after the
wedding ho sent out cards bound in silver ,
and then came out in that corgoous coaoh
which was the laughing stock of Washing
ton. Mrs. Tnbor , No. 3 , was very protty.
She was as plump as u milkmaid and hoi-
dark liquid eyes were full of lire. I saw her
In the scnato'gallory regal in diamonds look
ing down ut her now husband senator , who
wus trotting aboul among his brother sena
tors with a big morocco bound autograph
album , gottlntr Iheir signatures for his par
lor table in his mansion in Denver , and I eaw
her Inter on in a box in Tabor's opera house
with two very pretty little children beside
her , and I noted that she bad grown a little
more fleshy aud that she wus losing much of
her ooauty.

Any Donvnr man can toll you , and not a

more than ? l,000U.Kt. Slio is a woman of
high ctmractpr and she impresses you as
being ulnd , intelligent und mothoily. 1 saw
her on tlio streets of Denver several years
ago. She has a high forehead , dark brown
hair , black eyes and sbo looks Ilka a lady.
She moves about in the host society of Den
ver uud she is wrapped up in her son , who is
a bright , Intelligent young man. I do not
Know that Senator Tnuor aud she over meet
together , but if they do , he roust blush for
his notion toward her. Ho married her in
Maine , you know , when ho was a young man ,
and Iho U\o crossed the plains lozothcr before -
fore the days of the railroad. When they
established their little store in ono of tlio
mining camps , she took In washing to keep
Iho wolf from the door , and the little board
ing house which they ran was kept by her
and thu&toro Irom which the ijrub u'talilne
wus donu was kept Blocked with goods

in or. ) than Tuber , it Is lulr to say , the author
of his fortune * , ami It would have uoen less
than fair if Taoorhad given her tbo half of
his millions at the time hu got his divorce.
Hud ho never had anything to do with Mrs.
Dee or divorce , and had brought Mr * . Tabor ,
No. 1 , hero lo Washington , blio would not
bavo disgraced him , and I doubt not that if
ho hud stuck to her ho would bo a richer
man today than bo 1s. As It is , she is said to
bo a good business woman and she under
stands how to lake care of ana iucrca&o her

Itlchost Man In Colorado.
I hoard a curious story of cx-Sonator
Bowcn yesterday. Ho lives , you know , at
Del Nona and bo has one or two good mines
which have been noted for their pockets
rather than for valuable quartz veins. The
trouble with buch'mlnos ' is you can never
toll when they arc going to play out. Sometimes -
times you strilio it yery rich and it seems us
though you wcro going to niuico a fortune in
a month , but before the weoic is out your
pocket may bo exhausted. Bnwcn had
struck some voryvalunbta linds of this kind.
Ho bad made about 00,000 and with his
honoful heart bo supposed tbo profits would
steadily continue and his visions were these
of Monte Chrlsfo pr of Aladdin when ho
first tried the lamp. Ho took his $ . ' 00,000
and came to New York to show the brokers
of Iho eflote cast Low to do business , and
while hero in the , city bo made ono or two {
successful turns arid was happier and moro
hopeful lhan ever. It was during Ibis time
at the Gllsoy bousp : ono evening it must
have been after dinner that ho mot an ad
miring Colorado follow citizen who during
the conversation asked Mr. Bowcn as to who
was the richest man in Colorado. Bowcn , so
the Flory gooj , orqvv himself up to his full
six feet und putting ono hand In bis vast nnd
waving tbo oihoi snld impressively , "My
friend , you sco before you the richest man in
Colorado , and In all probability the man who
will eventually bo the richest man in tha
whole world. " A short time after that Son-
utor BOWOU'R luclt lurnod. Ho found the
offotn cast a little sharper than ho had sup
posed It to bo nnd with a dropping otl of his
income from hU mines ho discovered thai his
total assets were mv.do up of mineral possi
bilities us .vet practically undiscovered in the
wilds of Colorado. ' Ha' has since , 1 am told ,
owned othur mine } , und ho sold ono u short
time ago which brought him In the neighbor
hood of $ ? 00OuO. Ho has investments in the
new mining fields and when he was hero in
Washington a tow'days ago his friends say
ho was moro songulnq than over. He is a
shrewd business man and has unlimited fullh
in hltusulf and .Colorado.

Normllo- the Unltod States district court
of St. Louis tells mo Iho story.
Normllo and Ochiltreo crossed Iho
ocean together and when the
ship arrived nt Quoonstown they telegraphed -
graphed to the four or five principal hotels In
London asking thorn to reserve rooms for
thorn and to answer at Liverpool. At Liver
pool they found that ovcryono of these hotels
was full. It was the last of Mav , tbn time
when London is most crowded , and they
found \\hen they arrived in London that
accommodations could bo gotten nowbcro.
They went to the Langham , but found every
room taitcn nnd they were in despair. Uomg
into the wino-ioom they sat down , had a
urnndy and soda together and discussed tbo
situation. Both were terribly blue nnd for a
time snld nothing. "At last , " said Judtro
Noi mile , ' ! was surprised to sco Ocuiltroo
Jump to his feet : His complexion been mo
redder than his hair , his swagger was over-
pmvorlni ! nnd bo cocked that loft eye tt his
us ho looked at mo and in a vindictive and
excited tone said :
"Normilo. why don't you got us a room ?
Blank it , why don't you got us a room ! Why
don't ' you tell thorn who 1 am ? Go and say
that Tom Ochiltroo is hero and they will glvo
usa room. '
" 'I loouod nt Tom's red face and I Ihought
ho was crazy. Ho sat down and ordered an
other brandy and sodn. * Whllo wo were
drinking this I concluded ihcro might bo
something in bis scheme. Ho bad letters
fiom President Arthur and I Ihought I cculd
Impose on Iho Ignorance of Iho cleric. At Ibo
clo'so of Iho glass I wenl out to the ofllco and
waiting till there was no ono nt the Htilo
door in Iho grallng , I stopped up and beg
ging the pardon of the manager asked him if
I could bavo a word wlta him. Ho replied
'certainly , ' and asked mo to como in. I
wont in and putting an indignant look on my
face , I sutd :
" 'Sir , I have Just passed through the wino-
room of your hotel. You pretend to bo an
American hotel and you bavo the patronage
of Americans. But I saw in that wine-room
a sight that surprised mo. I saw there ono
of the greatest of America's military heroes ,
ono o ( the bravest and noblest of our great
generals , sitting alone and neglected without
Ills supper und ho told me ho had boon refused -
fused a room hi your hotel. 1 refer to Gen
orul Ochiltreo. '
" 'General Ochiltreo ? ' sold the man , 'Gen
eral Ochiltreo i 1 never henrd of any ( Jon-
oral Ochiltree. '
" 'What , never hoard of General Ochiltreo ? '
snld I. 'Havo you never heard of General
Tom Ocbtltroel The close ftlond of Presi
dent Arthur ? Ho Is ono of our most noted
social figures and ha is ono of the greatest
generals wo have over bad , Never heard of
General Ocbtltrco ? Why , man , have vou
never read what your poet laureate , Mr ,
Tennyson , says about him in that poem In
whluh ho speaks of our great men ? Vou
must remember the lines :
Grant nnd Ieo ,
tireut CHilltico.
Mighty ministers of Mars.
" 'Yos , yes,1 said the man , 'I remember It.
Where is hoi I don't sco bow It could bavo
happened , but I'll toll you how wo will fix it.
There is a younc married couple from the
country who hnvo just cone up into ono of
our best rooms. 1 can tell thorn that the
room was given to them by mistake and I can
let you have It , Tuuo mo in and Introduce
mo to the General und I will make it pleas-
nut for him. '
"Well , " concluded Normllo. "they bundled
tbo brldo und groom out of that room und
put Oohiltrco in it and I not Ochiltroo to lot
ma have u nlucu on a cot ns a friend of his.
Wo received the best of treatment during
our stay nud the Langhnm hotel man shows

CHICAGO , 111. , Feb. 27. [ Special to Tun
BBC. ] You wouldn't think that a follow
would follow nls murderer up two ( lights of
stairs in order to bo throttled conspicuously
and lltmg oft a parapet , and yet ttiut Is what
a fellow has been doing every night this
week nnd several afternoons. Margaret
Mather has been trying a now play on us. It
is said lo bo an adaptation of Victor Hugo's
novel auont the hunchback of Nolru Damo.
It Is made up of several stubbing nITrays , n
vicious dwarf , a iloudish monk , a persecuted
fcraulo whoso honor is In u constant statu of
hysterical defense , u pretty good ballot , n
melancholy coincdl.in and n lot of big words.
Virtue triumphs. The mmious of Satan fall
upon each other nnd are mutually wiped ,
dashed , slugged and butchered oil the face
of the oartb. Ttio persecuted female Is ut
the last Instant liberated from u tomb in
which she had been imprisoned nnd nil but
suffocated , nnd tumbled rapturously Into the
arms of her heroic lover , who has Just
nrrlved from the hospital , where ho has been
since the ia.nl time ho was stabbed. It makes
you tlilnl : of tuoso old books ot the
vlutaga of the fifties where the heroine ,
confined In the dungeon keep , is ntiuoyod
night after night by the pissago of cold ,
clammy , mysterious hands across her shiver
ing laco. Miss Mnthor deserves n bolter
play.

rifi'r'H Attack on Our Institutions ,
Governor Flfcr has secured considerable
attention recently by an impetuous attack
upon American institutions , whoso downfall
ho confidently predicts. The governor possesses -
sossos much natural eloquence , a rather emotional -
tional temperament and what U especially
uniortutinto with that temperament , a tend-
nnoy to dyupcpsla. Yet ha has a sincere
Imtrcd of shams and mi abhorrence of the
vulgar display nnd the brutal power nnd In
solence of wealth , and his words of denuncia
tion of his country ut tlio mooting of tno
farmers in Jnliot wcro not without a basis of
coolness nnd calculation. Ho Is a southerner
by birth a native of Virginia. His early
manhood , however , was spuut in Ohio and
there lie Imbibed the piiuciplcs which led
him into the union army and loft him a
steadfast republican at tlio close of the war.
liut ho retains much of tno southern spirit.
Ills btylo of oratory is fervid nnd impas
sioned , nnd ho bus u great deal of the cluv *
airy and hospitality which are the boast de
servedly of the pcoplo of tbo south , Stanton
was his birthplace. Ho has visited it once
and that slucu bo has boon governor
of Illinois. U Is worth any
man's ttmo to listen to his account of this
expedition. Ho had always thought that tie
would not return to the old sconoj until ho
could do so with soma prestige of succois
achieve ! und honor won , Like most wnnd-
crors he wished torspurn tooxhlblt ut home.
After his election as governor ho was ready ,
und toward thucnd of n pleasure trip with hu
wife ho urranzod that thov should visit
Stnnlou. At Washington ho had mentioned
this Intention and the enterprising correspondent
pendent had picked up tbo news and telegraphed -
graphed It broadcast. Tins was not known
to tbo governor , however , and bis ajtoalsh-
mcnt and perplexity wcro great when , ut u
point on the road some hours' Journey from
his destination , ha received a telegram from
u Htaiitou man whoso irntno ho had never
hoard , asking "How long will you stay In
Stantoni" The governor was at UNI in
clined to unsu or ttio question as Impertin
ently as bo conceived 1' lo uavo bocti put.

eluded that the signature to the telegram !

Honored la Ills Own Country. ,
When the train bearing tbo governor and }
his wife reached Stanton the entlro t
citizenship was assembled nl the dopot. j
Flags ripped In the brec/o and the local band !
was ripping inu&Io out of brass. Placards of 1 ,
"Welcome to Fifnr , Governor of Illinois , but u
Citl/on of Virginia" adorned conspicuous ?
places. The instant the governor ullglitod
somebody grasped his hand nnd bepm a
speech of welcome. Applause turned every
period into an exclamation point. The governor -
ornor responded as well as anv man could
have done whoso feet had been hoisted so far '
from' terra llrmn , nnd then ho nnd tils trav
eling companions wcro hustled into a car-
Hugo which lud a vast procession to the court i1
houso. There moro speeches of welcome. J-
were made nnd the governor Improved upon
his previous response. The festivities con-
tlnuod through tlio evening , and next morn-1
ing n commlttco awaited Iho governor's
pleasure after breakfast nt his hotel , und a
half score of women rant their carriage * to
bo nt Mrs. Filer's disposal through tno day.
Mrs. Flfer Is an exceedingly modest and un-
allcctcd woman , and her power to rldo In
moro than ono carriage at oneo is limited. As i
a consequence she rutnatiiod nt the hotel . I
while the fashlonatilo turnouts ware driven . I
back and forth until nightfall. During the j
week which the governor spent ut Stnnton
ho made moro spoochc.s than hu has made I
In uny other month of his life , I
and ho frankly Hays that if I
they had boon correctly ropoitcd they would J
have ruined bis chances of republican nuo- , I
cess forever , for tbo hospitality of Virginia '
ami the splritof Virginia aroused nnd Imbued
him ho thoroughly that to hnvo boon born In
that state seemed a greater honor than to bo I
a prominent citizen of the nation or the gov-
arnor of Illinois. It is not Improbable that
Hbould ho over becotna u shaJo moro diseour-
ngcd regarding the political future of the . ,
United States than no was the other day
whin making his remarkable speech at
Joltot , ho will leave the north and , with all fi
his bridges burned behind him , tipond tha
rcmninderof hN life in the moro congenial
atmosphere of his natlvo state.
