on the same river , the Animus , n did-
lance of forty-live miles , is Durango , a
inlning town , containing a population
of1,000. . It is the county seat of La
Plata county , and has become a place of
considerable Importance as iv smelting
nnd coal mining point. There are two
Bluchers in Durango , onlyono of which
is in operation at tlio present timo. Coal
mining , however , is carried on exten
sively , and the article is an excellent
quality Cof bituminous coal. A vast
bcope of country is tributary to Durango ,
embracing many of the loading indus
tries mining , stock raising and farm
ing. The coal measures are vorylargo ,
nnd the supply is apparently unlimited.
Much of it nukes first-class coke , and
it finds a market over an extensive
urea of this southwestern territory. A
good article of coal is laid down on the
track at Durango for $2.50 per ton ;
boreened , l.DO ; delivered in Sllverton
by the car load , $ ! / ) ( ) ; retail , $9.50 ;
screened , $ o.retail $7. The output varies
from twenty-live to seventy-live tons
ilaily. They have turned out as' high
nfl ono hundred tons in a day. Tlio
Silvorlon line of the Denver & Ilio
Grande railroad pusses through Dur-
nngo. It is quite a smart town , pleas
antly located , has a line climate and is
the emporium of southwestern Colorado.
Tributary to it are several line agricul
tural valleys , that have recently been
opened to cultivation by a liberal sys
tem of irrigation , thus turning at least
a half million acres into valuable arable
lands. For eight or ton miles north of
Dufango , in the direction of Silvorton ,
the Animus valley is cultivated. The
hardy grains , root crops , alfalfa and
other products are grown luxriautly ,
and their quality is unsurpassed.
TJMMULKSI'llINOB.
Kight miles above Durango , ami
thirty-HOven below Silvcrton , are the
Trimble mineral springs hot and cold.
The hot spring-bursts put of a- rock , in
a ritroam three inches in diameter , and
but two foot away a cold spring
of equal volume shoots forth
and mingles with its thermal
companion a lillle further on. The
wati'i-H are highly medicinal and bath
houses have been 'built and a good hotel
erected for thu accommodation of guests ,
and the place baa become quite a sum

ANIMAS ( /ANON :
About half way between Durango and
Bllyerton is the grand cation of the
Animas , through which the river
Kurgusand frets and foams with all the
wild grandeur of a mountain torrent.
High above the roaring waters winds
the narrow gauge railroad. In phices
the road-bed is hut a line out into a vertical
tical wall of granite , whoso frowning
abutments tower a thousand feet above
the \\ator. It is a great feat of engi
neering , and the scenery is awe-in-
npiring , grand and sublime. All the
route , from Denver to .Silvorton , a dis
tance of nearly live hundred miles ,
is a Micccbslon of scenic wonders. The
road is as crooked as the ways of some
men , but it is worthy the attention of
the connoisseurs in railway building ,
und lovers of the picturesque and
publitnc in nature. Not satisfied with
its great work the little giant is push
ing on up tlio long slope , and soon it
will go o-er the Uod mountain range
to Ouray , where it will unite with the
Montro.iO branch , extending from the
Bait Lake line , thus making a circuit
oncompabhlng a vast territory of plains ,
valleys and mountains. Already the
railroad company is selling round trip
tickets that cover the entire route for
> 28. Of course , a low miles the dis
tance that intervenes between the end
of the truck on this side and
Ouray , has to bo done by stage , but that
npiu-o will soon bo spanned by the iron
rails , and trains will bo spinning over
ils heights nnd depths. Several hun
dred mun and teams are making the
dirt and rock fly on the grade , nnd in

Owing to the low price of silver and
load some of the heaviest producing
mines of these dibtrii-ls are on the eve
of shutting down. With lead at & ! , " . " >
nnd silver at Oil , as quoted last
Saturday , miners claim there is little or
tie margin loft for them. The enor
mous freight rates to market , and the
uxpenao of smelting these silver-load
ores renders it impossible for any but
the high grade mines to return a profit
able margin to their proprietors. The
paramount need of this country to-day
is u system of coiu'entration works that
will successfully treat the low grade
ores of all this San .luiui region
Hundreds of thousands of tons ot ten to
forty dollar ores , dot the mountains
like the overflow of incipient volcanoes.
It cannot bo utilized , because the ox-
ponsuof freighting and treating more
than consumes its valuu. lut if ten
tons could bo reduced to one , or oven
five to ono , and all or nearly all the
values saved , and the worthier- ' mater
ial east away , see what a revolution It
would create in the mining industries
of this country. This is unquestion
ably the richest mineral region on tlio
continent of North America , but the
pros oontf.iuing the precious mutals are
Amorally low grade anddn larirubodioa.
The remoteness of thoSan Junn , the
high price ot transportation nnd the
cost of troutinp the ores renders it im
possible for any but the high prado
mines to bo operated at n prolit. What
the railroads do not absorb for freight
ing , the samplers , smelters and other
intermediaries consume , leaving the
hardworking minor to hold the bng.
Kvon some of the Denver dailies , the
northern railroads , real estate men ,
nnd many of the lending business houses
of that oily nro discriminating against
his section of' Colorado , notwithstand
ing wo purchase our supplies there ,
market our products and have our
homes there , and contribute in many
ways to Its growth and prosperity.
They cannot snv or do too tnucli for
northern Colorado , but.vhcnlt comes
to this part of the slate they are as
dumb as an oyster. Wo need cheaper
and hotter faoilitjcs , mills for the re
duction of our ores ; and capital with
which to develop the vast resources of
those mountains. Wo would bo pleased
to make a candid statement through
the press of our advantages and disad
vantages , nnd in that way wo may
reach the outside world.

The Poles and liolifiniuiis of the
Houthwestern part of the city , says the
the C'hlfiign Trihuno , nro excited over
the birth of a little dovil. The mother
ot the imp is bald to bo a married 15o-
homiiui living tit No. 7:57 : Van Horn
street. Everybody in the neighbor
hood is talking about it , and great
crowds surtfo about the house and call
for agihnpso of the monstrosity. Two
hundred pcop o gathered at the house
yesterday and insisted that the young
devil sbould bo placed on exhibition.
Those attracted by the crowd were told
that 11 woman had given birth to ti mal
formed child , that its hands and foot
were blunted , and that great horns pro
jected from its hand. Others soon told
u tain of a child closely resembling a
devil a child , with throe eyes , ouo
horse's foot , the other resembling that
of u lion , and a big tail.
"There v/oro oovou doctors present at
at the birth , said one. "Thoy wanted
to kill the little devil when ho ap
peared , but ho criud out : 'Don't you
touch mo ! If you do it'll go hard with
you. L want tolivu. ' The doctors were
afraid to kill him. It's a fact. And the
little devil was born with two pockets ,
in which were found $2,000. "
"Bring out the devil , " shouted the
crowd.
John Paul , proprietor of the house ,
made n speech in which ha declared
that thu story was a base fabrication ,
and that no such birth had taken plti.ro ;
but ho was answered with derision ,
jcoring remarks and louder demands
for a view of the freak. Various
explanations of the cause of tiie peculiar
birth were given. Ono wtiato thoolToot
that tlio woman had visited a Christian
friend , and had made light of scriptural
pictures on the wall , ana that the freak
was a punishment. The story was be-
llovod by the ignorant crowd , which
became a demonstrative that the police
had to bu called. For several days
similar crowds have gathered iu front
of the hoitao , and it became unbearable
for the tenants. The fact is that there
has not boon a birth at No. 737 Van

While sweltering humans are sweating

ciates. Fogs rendering the air so cool
that light overcoats arc comfortable ,

A CHILD Mil-Hit.
Among the passengers who arrived
at this port recently , on the steamship
Australia , was a little girl , about nlno
years old , alllictcd with leprosy. She
came with her father , Mr. ScholU , from
Honolulu , nnd It was intended to take
her to Berlin for medical treatment. As
soon as Quarantine Olllcor Dr. McAllis"
tor boarded the vessel , ho was made
aware of the girl's presence , and im
mediately made a cursory examina
tion , dlscloslnir the existence of the
dread disease. The child was
directed to bo detained on the
steamer until ho could make a more
thorough examination. The patient is
ono of the seven children , the father
being a German and the mother a na
tive of Hawaii , both residing at Hone
lulu. Some years ago the Gorman gov
ernment sent Professor Arniz to this
coast and Pacific Islands to make a study
of leprosy , and Air. So holthas1 hopes
that Ills skill will elTcct a cure of the
girl. Neither the captain nor
any of 'his olllcors were aware
that a leper case was on board until
some time after the vessel had loft
Honolulu , and when the fact became
known to him he had the little ono re
moved beyond contact with any of the
passengers or crow. The health otlicor
of the city was very indignant to
know that the Hawaiian board
ot health allowed 'tho girl
to bo taken on the steamer , knowing
that our laws prohibited the immigra
tion of such person oven on transit.
A STIUICK ON.
The coal handlers on Main street wharf
have been out on a strike several days.
The men who were receiving & 50 pet
ition th and struck for $ GO , say that they
asked for the raise but were refused and
they simply quit work. They olTcrcd to
compromise at $55 per month on Friday
last if the employers woulJ take the en
tire gang back , but this was- refused ,
and the strike continued. Tlio men
complain that men in other coal depots
receive from 900 to $75 per month. The
owners in defensesny Unit their men
are not compelled to handle the coal at
their wharf as much as the employes of
oilier companies , as they do not have to
shovel it into their wagons , but merely
drive under tboshute and let it run in.
For tliib reason they think their men
should receive loss pay. They have of
fered to compromise , but on a basts that
the men would not accept. It will bo
settled soon.
I.iT TIlKItU 1JIS MOIJT.
A crying demand for additional street
lamps from many parts of the city has
demonstrated the fact that there is no
money available , and until another levy
the inhabitants in certain portions of
the town will appreciate the condition
of Moses when the light went out.
Till ; SCHOOL C'KNSUS MYSTKUY.
The grand jury lias started to make
an examination of tlio manner in which
C. A. Hildcbraml collected the school
census and at the same time performed
duties as a Uuckloy lamb at Los An-
golcs and St. Louis. A partial exam
ination of the returns by some members
of the jury yesterday , and the manner
'In which the statistics were collected ,
showed that ITildobrand did not take
his oath of ollico , or if he did make such
an onth he failed to lilo it with the
county clerk. The only oath on record oj
the model census marshal is tno ono at
tached to his demand for S250 upon the
treasury , which is in the hands of the
secretary of the board of education , and
this allldavit recites that ho ( Ilildo-
brand ) well and faithfully performed
the duties for which he was appointed.
This nllldavit is sworn to before S. Ad-
rich , the assistant secretary of the
board of education , and in this some of
the niC7iibor.s of the grand jury are of
the opinion that there is a hole largo
enough through which the lightning
calculator of school census may crawl ,
f.o far as a charge of perjury would lie.
It isarguud by some that the assistant
Bocretary has not the legal power to
administer an oath. That power , accord
ing to the cede , only lies in thohuperin-
tendont , his deputy and the secretary of
the board of education. Yet the tifas'ist-
Uint secretary has during the past
eighteen nionthn assumed the power of
ndministoring oaths to contractors and
others having dealings with tlio school
department. Hut abide from these t > up-
jiosod technicalities the grand jury is
investigating the entire school census
and thu modus onurandl by which tlio
returns were collected and sworn to by
Ilildcbrand's assistant.
\ COUNT'S ( , 'USSKI.VKSS.
Victor Tolbtonl is a handsome young
Italian , well known among his country
men in this city. Ho arrived in San
Francisco some years ago and stopped
, at the 1'alaco hotel , registering from
Venice. Ho had letters to prominent
Italians hero and was welcomed as
Count Tolstoni , a dcscendent of a
long linu of nobility. The count
was plentifully supplied with funds , had
traveled extensively and his cultured ,
made him much sought after by the ul
tra circles. Ho gave full vent to his
extravagant tastes , spent money with a
lavish hand for several years and
finally retired into obacurity , having
loat his money and , as is generally the
case , , bib frionds. Finally , as a means
of gaining a livlihond , he placed hin
services at the disposal of Uaca-
galupo & Co. , the undertakers , and
pngnged in labor.of a menial char-
actor. Ho left their employ a short
time agoand it was noticed that he was
growing despondent. Last night at 8
o'clock his landlord , living on Green
btreot , rushed into the undertaking es
tablishment mitt stated that Tolbtoni
had probably committed suicide-and
showed a letter addros-od to him that
ho had found in Tolbtoni's room. It
read as follows :
Mj Uror Edward : It has been my hopes
for u year past to return to sunny Italy. This ,
I have bean unable to do , us you know from
want of means. Life Is unbearable und I in
tend to una it. When you read this 1 will no
longer bo alive. Give mo a decent burial ami
place my effects in charge of the Italian eon-
suL A letter that you will Und addrcskod to
him Will pxphiin what dlsjiosul I wish to have
uiado with them. VICTOU SIONI.
The count's friend returned to his
homo with the intention of later in
forming the police , but to his surprise
found Tolstoni in. his room. "The latter
greeted him with atimilo , saying :
"I sou you got my letter. Well-1
hard changcu my mind. I may find
happiness yet. A friend has loaned mo
money , and I'll see dear Italy again. "
Tolstoni will sail for his Venetian
homo by the next steamer , anil will
prevent the necessity of the press
chronicling another tragedy.
ftNI ) TltKIll AUNTS.
During the past few days a great deal
of xtnfavorable comment lias been
evoked o5r the failure of the managers
of the late "Pinafore" carnival to ren
der to the public a statement of what
became of the money realized by the
performances. It is now three weeks
since the good ship sailed a way from
the Mechanics' pavilion , and the public
wants to know where the money which
it contributed to the cause of charity
has gone. The managers say that they
will make an exhibit satisfactory of all.
A FAITH nOCTOIl.
Rov. John Alexander Dowio , the well-
known Australian healer through faith ,
who arrived in the city from Mel
bourne on Saturday , is now at the Pal
ace hotel with Mrs. Dowio , whore they
have boon visited by many peopo inter
ested in the'doctrine which Rov. Mr.
Dowie has for many years expounded.
In explaining his doctrine , Rov. Mr.
Dowio explicitly stated that ho was en
gaged in a labor of love and that ho de
rived no pecuniary benefits therefrom.
Ho would not accept a sixpence from
any one for his services , remembering
the Lord's command , "Freely ye 'have
received , freely give. " Ills method
was to pray that the patient before him
might regain health , and If faith was
coupled with desire , the result would bo
a complete euro , for which nothing was
asked. In the course of five years 7,000
people have been batlsfactorily and
gratuitously healed.
"For several years prior to February
21 last , " continued ho. "I was pastor of
the Free Christian tabernacle at Mel
bourne , but my labors having increased
largely , I was obliged to resign my
pastorate on that day. My object In
coining to this country is to establish
healing missions in the largo cities and
to meet such men as Dr. Cullis , of Bos
ton , and Dr. Simpson , of Now York. I
expect , of course , to oncountcrobstacles
doubting mon will throw in my path.
Many ministers and prominent Chris
tian men and women have embraced
the divine doctrine and maintained the
standard divine healing through faith
in Christ. Tlio work is in its infancy
and has been carried on under dillicul-
ties. I hud to feel my way step by stop
without the sympathy or aid of brethren
of other denominations , in the face of
the apathy or antagonism of the
churches and the scorn and contempt of
the world. "
THE \'AGS.
The order issued by Chief Crowley on
April 1 to arrest all the vagrants prin
cipally those who consort with disrepu
table women has boon productive of
good results. While the number of ar
rests of men who have lib visible means
of support has been much smaller than
that of last year , yet it has had the ef
fect of forcing' disreputable characters
to leave the city or stand trial in the
police coyrt or Vagrancy.
The district sorgeunts of police have
been very active in "keeping time , " as
tlioy tenrt itton vagrants , and with the
assistance of i tlipir subordinates , they
have lodged in jail about twenty-live
men for loading idle and dissolute lives.
