Pnrtlcs In from the Dig Blackfoot bring
news of a very rich Rola strike. In the early
ilnyn the Hlg Blucli foot pincers wore very rich
uiul produced thousands of dollars In cold ,
says the Itclutia Inclcpcitilcnt. After the
pincers hail been worked out the miners de
serted it , though a few tried for years to
ilnd the ledge from which gold camo. Tlio
majority , however , gave up the search.
Christopher Strains unit Alnrandcr Came
ron did not abandon till hope of rinding the
\oln 'I buy owncil Roma ground ut the bend
of the KUlch : ina have been sinking shafts In
the hope that they would find the much-
lonpiyl-for IcdRO. The other day tholr labors
were rowiirdod , nnd at tliu bottom of ona of
thcli- prospect hoi on n k'dgo some nix feet
wiilo wiit ! found , the ' 'cntc'r of which was
composed of rottc-n quartin which the nug-
poUnml coarse yellow rlnst could bo aeon
iliinliiK brishtly In the dull-colored dccom-
posoil.rock. Seine of this was panned bo-
ere a liu-'ie number of person * , and the gold
taktn Irom the llrst pan amounted to over
tad , Several other pans of dirt were washed
and in no cuse did the amount fall below t--'O.
Th people In the tiluckfoot valley arc
RttiJtly excited over the Ilnd , mid the many
mining men. who havu looked at the ledge
bay it is as rich as they have ever seen. The
prouuil on which the leu go was found Is
patented and is owned by O.Strauss. Uahi-
eroiij Edgorton and Jewel , the last two being
residents of Helena. If this Is really the
main lead , and there can hardly bo a doubt
but that it is , it will bo a great help to the
Tilackfoot country and Is apt to prove nn-
\VhitlaUih-Union as regards richness.
Another Shipper Tor Crcrtto.
Shallow creek will furnish the next shipper
from Croodo shortly after tbo llrst of the
year. It will bo the Kuraka Extension lode ,
owned by Tom Lalir and David Long of
Cieedo and.Tames H. Poole of Denver , says
Hie Times of tlmt city. This fact is estab
lished by tlio condition of the property as
developed by recent work. The tunnel is In
ZOO feet , following the vein the entire dis
tance. Lulu * drifted north on the vein nnd
struck u muss of zinc blende , iron pyrites
and amethyst quartz , assays return
ing LM.I0.80 ounces silvnr and tlirco-
fourths of an ounce of gold ,
or a value of $222.70 per ton. As he has
been running the entire distance on the
hanging wall , bo Is unabio to say the width
of the vein. Tno recent option on a fourth
iuteriMt. given ny .1. 1C Smith to P. C.
Hums for 410,000 , has been thrown up by the
latter , and now Smith Is working the prop-
ertv wllli-Laltr.
This property has shown as high as four
ounces In gold , and a trio of Swedes , who
nro working a claim Just north of and adjoining -
joining the Eureka , have n copper stained
tulcthat bus shown from two to thrco and
ouu-balf ounces gold. Handicapped , by low
finances the boys nro unabio to make rapid
progress , but they propose to stay by It.
Lying .southwest of the Eureka is the
Jasper group , which is showing more gold
value than silver , and a new mineral new
to Crccde Is found on this ground. It Is
asbestos , but very short fiber. The owners
of tbis are negotiating with some capitalists
to open It up.
Dig Strike of I.rnU Oro.
The Great ividgo mine has again shown UD
a wonderful IniDrovojnent , which , though un
expected , yotrWaT predioted by an eminent
export over u , year afio. says the Denver
Times. This phenomenal -property , owned
principally by ox-Senator Tliomas . Bowcn ,
u few months npo struck n volume of water ,
which washed out nlso a voltmfo of lead ere ,
something ovci4 COO * tons in throodays. As
soon us the water subsided ILW.US found that
there stood nt the breast of the tunnel an
immciibo chamber of ore , but standing in
euch condition ns to niako it unsafe to work.
While endeavoring to afford the nroper pro
tection to the miners there occurred another
How of water as great 113 the first. Then it
was decided not to drive any further ahead ,
but Instead to bulkhead the breast nnd drift
north on the vein at first. This development
has given up an average of flvo carloads of
load concentrates per day , which run 73 per
cent load nnd SlO'to $12 In gold per ton.
A short tlmo ago a drift south was started
toward the Ethel , and giving greater depth
the further Into the lull they went. Moro
recently the miners in this drift encountered
the first quartz over found on the property.
It Is hard nnd of whitish color , carrying 220
ounces silver per ton , nnd the streak Is sis
Inches wide. Alongside this quartz lies a
Htroaic of galena , about the same thickness ,
which assays 300 ounces silver per ton nnd
! IO per cent load. Twenty-four hours of work
on this new find shows It to still hold out ,
and the fact that n certain oxuert last winter -
tor predicted that the mine must and would
roach quartz bcforo it gave up its richest
mineral , gives strength to the belief that
the property Is now at its best stago.
It is reported that Its owners will erect
another concentrator. Tlio present ono is of
but forty tons capacity nnd has long been
too small for the amount of oro. It has been
eoparutir.g the lead and zlnosplondidly. Up
to a recent date the owners had been unabio
to sell their idno product , but now they com-
inonco shipments to Canon City. ;

U n mill I'oiilbly Oil.
A correspondent of the Denver TJntos vis
ited Grand Junction's natural gas well and
found that It had reached a depth of over
UOO feet. The heavy volume of gas which
was found In the sand rocka couple of wcoka
ago is still flowing with undlnnnlshcd
volume and gives every evidence of per
manency , Judging from the smell of the
gas it comes from petroleum nnd it ls eonll-
ilontly expected that additional work will
tap a largo body of oil. All of this is In
keeping wllli tlio idea tlmt has prevailed in
the minds of many people throughout the
country for several years past , that
both oil and gas 'existed beneath the surface
of the ground in this valley.
The Western Colorado Development com
pany was organized for the purpose of bor
ing a well for general results , it being the
expectation of the prime movers in the pro
ject to ilnd artesian water , The work was
commenced under the advice of Prof. J. H.
Houtnwell of Hock Inland. Ill , , who cauio last
spring and looked the grouna carefully ovor.
The acopo of the company has been very
largely Increased blnco iu inception , nna It
was found advisable to incorporate with n
capital stock of $1.000,000. Twenty of the
leading citizens of the city became incorporators -
raters , and throuirh the efforts of some of
these u considerable amount of Kock Islnud ,
111. , capital was interested under the leader
ship of Adalr 1'loasants , a leading attorney
of that city.
The city of Grand Junction granted to this
company , at a special election held October
-10 , u franchise for oil. pas and artesian
water. The people of the valley have given
to tne company leases iu exchange for stock
for several thousand acres of laud. The
company has secured contracts to water a
large tract ot thonncst trull land in iho

A hasty visit of thrco prosectors of Butte

Pickutt , led them to telegraph a iluttopaper
that the \vholo thing was a bilk. Their
entire tlmo was occupied while there In
making out claims for themselves , which
shows that they had a motive In giving iho
Cump n black eye. There Is no doubt that
ercatly exaggerated stories have boon told
Iu regard to the richness of the Held , but
thut gold is there cannot bo dlsmitcd. If It
is in paying quantities remains to bo demon
strated , and this cannot be done until next
spring. Prospectors will do well to stay
away until reliable results are obtained. '

"One of the most enjoyable niphts I
ever spent iu the woods after coons was
over in Illinois last fall , " says a writer
in the Globe-Democrat. "I think I have
chusod the old ring-tailed corn destroyer
about as often as anybody , and have
sought him ou all kinds of nights and

"As I wns sayinur ono night last fall ,
when I was up the Illinois fiver duck

wo got old Bent Burlolg'h and" his dogs ,

the fray. Ho f came down with his
hrindlo dog Bark and his hlaok-and-tan
hound Orcoido , aud-by 7 o'clock four of
us were floating down the river in the
semi-darkness toward the mouth of Otter
creek. The smoon was just breaking
through a cloud that hung along the cast
when wo lauded about a milo up the
crook. The timber wa.s not largo and there
was not much'undorbrush'iu the bottom.
On the south side of the creek there wan
a big cornfield , and the watar at the
stopping point was shallow , and numer
ous old loga were visible rising at differ
ent angles just the place for coons to
come in search of mussels and crawllsh.
There had been a light shower that
afternoon , leaving the ground moist ,
and scarcely a breath of air moved the
branches. As wo "neared the landing
place the dogs began Bnifllng , and would
have barked had not Bent silenced
them.
" 'Hero wo bo , boys , ' said the old coon
hunter , as wo landed. 'Now , two on ye

Keep shells handy , and watch the ole

"THO uogs , let loose , wont scampering
about among tbo timber. Suddenly tbo
old hound mudo tbo woods eobo with a
yelp. Then Bark answered the call , and
tlio iniibic began. Inside of ten minutes
after landing Burlelgh said : 'They've
got him , boys. Como on ; ' and with long
strides the old man made for the place
where the bark and tbo bay mincrled.
On a. good sized eycaraoro were the
coons. Burloigh cautioned the dogs 'tor
wutoh out,1 and then took from a package -
ago which ho had ueon carrying ,
wrapped in a piece of oilcloth , a Roman
caiullo.
" 'What in the world are you going to

WASHINGTONDoe. . 3. [ Special to Tun
Hue. ] When tbo democrats at , the Chicago
convention Inst jcar fr.imed a platform they
were careful to characterize the Mt-Klnley
tariff law as unconstitutional , in spirit If not
in letter , and to denounce In the severest
possible language the republican principle of
laying a taHU with a view to the protection
of American interests. They characterized
the present tariff law as being vicious , and
declared In favor of a tariff law which would
only raise a revenue. When the demo
cratic members of the ways and means
committee at the outset of the recent
extraordinary session of congress began the
preparation of the now tariff moajuro , it
was supposed that they wiuld provide sim
ply for n large revenue , which is necessary
to operate the government , nnd that there
would no no provision made for anything
else. They worked In a Htlo dark room
down In the b.isonicnt of the capltol behind
closed doors. The democratic members of
thccommlttoo kept every step of tholr work
In sucrecy. They would not even toll a
republican momucr of the committee where
their secret operating room was located.
Every basis of operation was profoundly
covered up In the mysteries of the dark
chamber.
IV linn the Mouse Clinic I'nrth.
There wore from time to time Intimations
thrown out to the public by the majority
membership of the committee that "a great
revenue mnisiiru is in preparation. " Some
of the experts in congress nnd the Treasury
department were calculating that from
$100,000,000 to KiOO.OOO.OOO more revenue than
is at present raised would bo annually secured -
cured by the new law ; and provident mem
bers of congress had begun to
flituro upon appropriations for pub
lic buildings , river ami harbor im
provements , etc. , for their districts.
They were almost fearing that the surplus
which tbo new law would place in the treas
ury would bpcomo a burden. iat ! lol when
the bill appears from the committee it is not
u rovcnuo measure. It is found that it will
ralso W3.000.000 a year less rovcnuo than the
McKinley law. 1 ho secrets of the sessions
of the committee are beginning to crop out ,
and it is found that this and that democrat ,
who has upon the stump for many years
demanded a revenue tariff law , has
perspired and raised all sorts of
trouble to secure some sort of tariff
protection for his homo industries.
Dcmocnicy mid Protection.
"I never know that there was half as
much demngoyy In congress as I have seen
during the past few weeks , " said a southern
member uf the ways and means committee
to Tun Bic correspondent. "I have read the
speeches of certain distinguished tariff re
formers and heard them declaim in favor of
free trade or n rovcnuo law ns against tbo
present protection. No sooner did wo rcacli
the schedules affecting their districts than
they rushed to us in not ha&te , almost out
of breath , and begged that wo save them
from destruction. It made mo fairly sick at
heart , mid 1 was really ashamed to sco the
clamorlngs of certain Missouri demo
crats when wo took up the para
graph containing lead. Wo intended to
put lead ore us well as silver-loud ere upon
the free list , and wo actually did get lead ere
on the free list , at ono timu , butScnulor Vest
and other democrats from Missouri almost
swooned away. They came to our room and
said that unless wo put lead ere oacl : on the
-dutiable list old Missouri would go repub
lican. Of course we , all know what the
Louisiana democrats demanded in the way
of a di'ty on susiar , and how the Alabama
democrats declared their state would bs
republican if iron ere was placed upon the
free list , and kept there. You know West
Virginia flocked to the committee room ,
sending democrats only , and demanded pro
tection for her coal. 1 suppose that , accord
ing to tholr threat , West Virginia will now
he safely republican. It was just so through
out the entire work. " Pisuttr S. HEATH.

FiiEMOsr , Dec. 3. [ Special to TUB BcE.l
In view of the threatened reduction of the
tariff on hemp product as outlined by the
Wilson Dill , Tim Bun correspondent visited
the Nebraska hemp and twine factory at
this place to obtain an expression in reply
to the question as to what the effects of the
enforcement of the schedule , as proposed In
the bill , would be. Mr. B. W. Reynolds , the
president and general manager , replied :
"In the manufacture of any commodity
thcro is a fixed limit of prlco below which
manufacture must either cease or bo carried
on at u loss. . The prlco of binder twlno dur-
iug the last season has been too low to make
the business cither remunerative or prolltii-
blo. Should the present price bo reduced to
correspond with tliu proponed schedule the
industry of binder twine manufacture in
tins country must nearly or altogether i > o
wiped out of existence. The only salvation
would bo the reduction la the prlco for labor
to correspond with that of our European
competitors , which wo deem , at least
in Nebraska , utterly impossible. Another
consideration which is not generally given
the weight it deserves is that the use of
money in this country is worth fully twice
as much ns iu Europe , and that works cor
respondingly uirainst the American manufacturer
'
facturer us co'mpared with his European
competitor. It is also a fact that when
money is Invested it ) machinery constructed
specially for the manufacture of any article ,
unless there issome , prolit iu the business ,
thut capitnl is practically an oxprnso and
the taxes mid interest eat it up.
"And I will say right here that
under the present prospects or until
the matter of the tariff on our product
is sottlcd the Nebraska Binder Twina
company will not manufacture another
pound of twino. Wo can produce the raw
material and manufacture the article as
cheaply right hero at Fremont as it can bo
done in any part of the United States , and
wo therefore hayo no fear of American com
petition , i hut wo cannot competei with
European paupnr labor anil their low rates
of interest on capital invested. "
"What effect lias the proposed tariff change
had on the wages of your employes1 !
"Wo started up our two nulls the middle
of September on a 30 ptr cent reduction from
former prices for the manufacture of the raw
mnteml. but oven that reduction would not
bo uilrqtiiUo , to make the tnnnufncturd of
twlno profitable with the tnrllT reduced ns
proposed.
I uill state that as farns my observation
extends thcro has been no complaint ntnoncr
the fanners as to the price at which wo
hnvcyticlcl our twlno under iho McKinley
tariff , Tho.v seems to bo willing to pay
prices that will .sustain the homo manufac
turer tn his cntcrnrlso. The kick has come
from Ihu professional politician , nnd for
what purpoic you know ns well as I , The
farmer rersuns that the production of hemp
lessens the acreage of other crops nnd that
it has thin far proved ono of our most
profitable rro\is. \ when the twlnci could bo
sold at lair liturea.
"The policy of the present administration
seems to bo to strlko down any industry
that promises tut > thine for the people , and
twine ns well ns sugar may all have to bo
1 np.irtod until the " American people nro
again permlttod to apeak nt the ballot

W. W , Ctimnock , manager of the ICnarnoy
cotton mill , was seen In relation to the pro
posed changes In the tariff , as published In
Tim Hue. Ho says : % 'l do not think the
democrats wilUdaro interfere with the tariff
on our class of goods. In faci I don't think
they will do nearly as much ns they now try
to makcyoutr They are only making a show
of carrying out their promises made before
election. Of course if they should take
all the duty off of manufactured
cotton goods such as wo manufacture
It would nlako considerable difference to us ,
but wo nro so far Inland and have such ready
sale nnd great demand for our goods hi this
part of the country that I don't think any
change that Is llnally made will affect us In
any way. Wo will probably shut down until
the Jst of January , but so 5ar as I know
now wo will then start up at the old scale of
wages.
' Of course , as I said , if the tariff is all
taken oft' we can't do it , but being so far in
land we can successfully compote with nil
foreign uuiiiufactuivrs if not moro than a ! i
per cent reduction is made in the old rate.
That , hoMovur , Is only because wo In the
west have the advant'igo over t1" } eastern
manufacturer in freight rates. "

"I cannot talk on that subject at all , " ho
nnsncred. "You should see Mr. Oxnard.

opinion hero that though the reaction of

Simplicity the Kuj-nnta of tU Ocnrlcmeu'd
At tire This Winter.
In conformity with the unwritten law
which declares tlmt Iho mun dressed
with the moat unassertive simplicity
will in almost any pathoring ho
the best dressed man , the various etcete
ras of evening drcas seem this season to
have formed a 'conspiracy to preserve in
thuliijrhcat ( logL'OO the dignity and nn-
obtrusiveness of their wearers.
Porfcotjy plain fine linen shifts , showing -
ing two or three studs on the bosom , and
guiltless of aught in the nature of frills
or tuclca , are most favored by the men
who arc always acknowledged to ho well
dressed. A few of the ' 'heavy" brigade
will , pot-Imps , , occasionally bo seen bo-
bind bosoms-of very fine ribbed white
pique , with collars aniloulTs to match.
The swells have pronounced in favor
of the high standing collar , gracefully
curved at the sides and with high ,
straight points , which arc just a trillo
bent to gvc } case to the wearer's chin.
Inasmuch , however , a * a man should
never wear what is unbecoming to him ,
those who cannot wear this high poke
collar may wear a lower ono with ironed
down points and will retain the trail-
quility of mind begotten of correct
attire.
Cull's are of generous proportions , with
square points , and nhould always bo
fastened with n pair of link buttons.
The best dressers always wear their
cuffs and collars attached to the shirt.
Ties are either of white lawn , rather
wide and straight all around or tuporod
from the center to a width of about two
inches at the ends ; or else and those
look especially well with the pique
shirts of fancy dimity or pique , cut HO
as to Una bow that is tight and crumpled
ut the center and spreading at the ends

called.
Gloves for evening dress should he of
very pale pearl color , of dressed kiuund

The gontlomnu of assured position
never dreams of making a display of
conspicuous jewelry. Two. or , at most ,
thrco small single pearls on his bosom ,
or , If these are too expensive , plain gold
or white enamel studs of tbo plainest
style , a pair of noatslcovo links , usually
of bar or oval pattern , and sometimes
sot with a small jewel , and a very
modest watch guard , with a plain gold
signet ring , would usually sum'up the
j&welry shown of an ovonlng by a man
of good tasto. Either a fob riband or a
plain gold chain of very slcndor pattern ,
and olthor wllh or without a quiet
pendant , such as an Intaglio , may bo
worn as watch guard. .
The really correct hat for ovonlng

appears tills soa&on made of ribbed silk ,
