F. M. AND E. M. KDIMELL Editors and Publishers. AKRON , COLORADO. EDITOR TUIHUNK : The gold excite ment in this vicinity scums on the in crease judging from the numbers thai are on every train coming from the easl and west. A week ago a few citizen ! started on a prospecting tour north ant west of town , finding here and then every indications of gold and silver ore , some of whichwas sent to Omaha foi analysis. Tim assayer's certificate re turning here on Saturday evening stated the ore examined showed three dollars in silver and five in gold to the ton. Sunday nearly every man in town ( the ladies and children preferring to go to church and Sunday school ) went north and northwest prospecting among the numerous hills. Monday morning as early as five o'clock vehicles from the backboard to the carriage , occupied by its laboring man to banker prospector , could be seen wending their way north ward ; in a few hours could be seen board notices of "Take notice : Having taken possession of this gold and silver bearing lode , etc. " Old gold prospec tors say there are places that will pan out $200 to the ton. As the shades of evening set in scores of men could still be seen with pick and shovel digging here and there , scrutinizing dirt and stones for indications. Suddenly a dark cloud made its appearance in the tar north. A few of the timid ones started for town not liking the skies' appear ance , in five minutes all started , the pedestrians in the rear. Horses were detached from their encumbrances and urged with all possible speed a mile distant for the stone house at Hock Springs. In a very short time there were in the building a dozen of horses and fifty men ; none , however , reaching shelter without experiencing some of the storm , that by this time was sweep ing everything movable before it , going at the rate of nearly 100 miles an hour. For MO minutes the rain in sheets and hailstones as large as walnuts fell , the wind continuing its velocity , when sud denly it changed and took a southeast erly course , demolishing nearly every light of glass on the north and west of every building in town , scattering in every direction nearly every shanty and barn and damaging more or less every house in its track. The width of the storm must have been five miles , its ex tent is not yet known. The only serious casualties were the two children of Mr. Dart. They with their mother being in the house ( a story and a-half high ) which was totally wrecked. She thus describes sitting on the bed with her arms around the children , she saw the pictures on the wall and furniture coming toward her. She closed her eyes in a moment to open them finding her house and household effects broken in small pieces and flying with the wind , herself some distance south and her two children fifty feet distant , one with its collar bone broken and the other injured about the head and face. Before the storm was half over there could be seen a score of brave men hauling a wagon with lumber in it and with hammer and nails and under the direction of our old pioneer , Mr. McMillan , lumber merchant , all were busily and dangerously engaged in nailing up fronts that were demolished. The wind at times making it unsafe to be out and still here they were on lad ders requiring two men on ground to hold steady , working like Trojans , ren dering assistance to all alike. The McCookites known to have lost their houses are Miss Leech , Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Robinson , the latter having $75 tied up in a handkerchief , which some Kansas grasshopper maybe enriched by findin 'a- ' Yours , etc. S.
