WIS' In 1880 J. A. Dlinilan, n mining engineer,

Kali1 ! Colorado, wont to Klilorn to examine a claim
fxS for a friend who contemplate Ita purchase. Ho
tniijnii spent two montha examining tho formation,
Sfj.lJjL and finally located a claim for hlmself.the second
(JfU? one located In tho district. Nothing waa dons
Mill' on c'im 'or 'onr years or more, when Mr.
ffi.JJh OIlQUan returned, built hlmielf n cabin, tho
1099 drat on tho present town alto, and became tha
JH'SI oldest permanent settler. This waa tho begin-
Vflflj Blng nf tbe town which, within tho ooBt few
iBffflj , months, has gmwn to he the most important I
II ' among tha new camps of Uouldcr, Gilpin, and
Win Clear Creek counties. Mr. (lllnllan. after two
jlBx Tears' hunt labor, met with his run aril In a ells-
HEH covcry which haa already set tho mining world
BbH, wild. While for a cnrlpat thoro haa been a
HB. iteady Influx of populu Ion, It Is only within
iBbV ' tho paat fow montha that thero haa been any.
HH thing lllo a rush Into the new tamp. Fight
HflH coaches nrn now running regularly from lloul-
der connecting with tho trains from Denrcr,
XBBJ and every coach Is loaded to Its full capacity.
AVflJ while tho lit cry stables of Uouldcr huvo been
J' taxed to thoir limit to provide prirnte
yBH. convorane.es. On Tuesday of last week forty
Hf pacsengcrs arrlred in tho camp. Tho follow-
Hr '"), day fifty ramo in on stages. For tho past

hVJ Itructlon, with new ones being started every
VH? day, and tbo demand for room Is nev or satisfied.
r'"' Four sawmills aro In operation, nnd are unable
. to satisfy tho domnnd for lumber. Manr teams
Kpji are hauling lumber from Uouldor, and every
HBjr man In tho camp who can handle a saw or ham-
glffH; mer Is kept In constant employment.
If IjH, A t Eldora tbo olns. as far aa they ha re been
IflMj uncovered, aro true Assure. Like the mineral
KV veins In all permanent district", they cross tha
Bjifl geological strata with well defined walla and the
BBJ '' accepted Indications of permanency. The
HH i ralues are mainly gold. A llttlelsllvcr appears
BBM out of compliment to near by Caribou, and In
Br some of tho mines tho copper yields as high as
BM" S3 Mr cent'
BJ9J Up to dato the number of locutions In tho dls-
WSi' trlct Is ahout 500. Prospectors are decidedly
BL-BJJ active, and neither high wind nor snow can
jH kefP them from tbe mountains. Tho ciamln-
BBJl ing expert from Denver, Colorado Springs,
VB'.j Cripple Creek, Leadvillo, and "the States" is
HBJ? tn evidence and, so far as known, there is not
BjBj-i a diasenting opinion ns to the permanency of tho
IE camp.
IBf Eldora proper covers sixty squaro mllos.
Bl a Measured from cost to west, tbo district is
BS '" milea long, and from north to south It ia six
IBf miles Tidr. To Caribou, the silver camp and tha
H scene of the Chaffee bonanza of 87'J, the dln
BJl tance Is only 2i miles due north. Ono and n
Bi nalf miles south is tho Gilpin county line, and
BHfr near this are the Perlgo and Gold Dirt mines,
BBa. famous twenty ears ngo for their masslvo
B H output of the yellow metal. Tbe Terlgo placers
BBJy furnished gold worth $19 an ounce from tho
HJr BTarel. Eldora'a gold la nlso high grade, nver-
afX... . aging 910 on ounro from both placer and loda
IBi mine, and anew I'crtco or (fold Dirt is confl-
Jfr dently predicted by men who have looked tho
tl ground over. Tho new gold camp is in what is
St known as tho great sulphide belt, which ex-
tends through Clear Creek, Gilpin, and iloulder
s counties, from Idaho Springs to Ward, along
Bj4 which are some of tho most famous gold mines
jH3i In Colorado.
MmX The ores of tbe district prctent omo peculiar
BJ characteristics. A. L. Toniblln, wlio bos been
$ engaged in assaying thero for sot urul months
ml. Hast, says lie has found thlrtoun or fourteen
Jf kinds "f rock, all of which carry good values
'HT in gold. Tho most rcmarkablo frnture, how eer,
5 i the mixture of tellurium and sulphides in
1 nearly every oin in tho district. Some rich
tellurium ores are Uilckly sprinkled with sui-
BJr phides of iron and copper, while solid veins, np-
.$ parently all sulphide, are found to bo full of
fljft particles of tellurium.
fl jjj, Another peculiarity ia tho phcnomenul values
Jf found In tho sulphides. Ores have been taken
BJtr out from several properties which run as hifh
BM twenty ounces of gold to tho ton, and In ono
Instanco a return was mado of oec $t00assav
BJ Talue. In ono proncity tho bulplildes wcio

The clang of an ambulance attracted the at

he stood outside the Thirty-fourth street ferry
house In Long Island City at 11:30 o'clock yes
terday morning. The ambulance stopped ln
front of tho Long Island Railroad station. A
crowd gathered, and In a few minutes four
railroad men appeared carrying an Injured per

nnd reached it just as the mon wero ready lo
lift the stretcher Into IU He pushed bis way
through the spectators, in order to get a look nt
tha injured person. When he saw the face of
the victim ho uttered a cry and would have
fallen if two spectators had not caught bim.
The ambulance drove off to Bt, John's Hospital
ln Jackson avenue, Long Island City.
Ten Eyck wai led Into the railroad station,
whore ho said that the person on the stretcher
waa Miss Eloanor B. Faycrs ot Richmond Hill,

Miss Fayers Is 25 years old, and is employed
in tho household of E. D. Stevens of Richmond

I time, she met several friends at the station,
I with whom she talked, but on hearing her train
approach said good-by to thein and started to
cross the tracks to tho platform on the othor
sldo. The whistle and bell of the west-bound
train, which she waa going to tako, drowned the
vvbistle and bell ot nn approaching east-bound
train. Miss Faycrs walked to the edge of the
Platform and "topped down between tbo cnBt
bound rails. Tho next Instant she was struck
by the locomotive and knocked down. The
wheels ot tho curs passed over both of her legs.

letter to the papers on Saturday, in which it
was stated that tho Church of the Btrangors "it

"There is no row in tho Church of the Stran

Is PcacofuL Thero aro no dissensions, seces
sions, or separations. A majority of tho mem
bora of tho church docldod to buy a bouso of
worship uptown. A minority of tho congrega
tion was against such a proposition, Thoy re
fused to go uptown to worship, and, what's
more, they won't go up there. The minority
didn't llko tho methods by which a majority i
TOto on tho proposition to movo uptown was ob

are no dissensions or secessions in tho Church ot

Whatevor the troublo ln the church may bo

that the ground on which the old Church of tho
Strangers stnnds is owned by tho corporation of
the Sailors' Snug Harbor. An annual ground
rent or 81,800 has been paid by tho church. The
leaso of the ground expires on May 1. The Snug
Harbor people notified the truateos or the church
some time ago that, on and after May 1, 1803.
tbe rent would bo $8,000 a year.
It did not take the trustees long to dccldo that
the church couldn't afford to pay such a rent.
They so reported to the congregation, and tbe
congregation Instructed the trustcos to look for
a new house ot worship. It was found that tho
property of the Ctn trnl Congregational Church
and that of the First Reformed Presentation
Church at 123 Wost Twelfth street woro for
sale. The prices wero about tbe same. Tho trus
tees reported ln favor of tho Centra! Congrega
tional property.
A meeting of tbe congregation was called
nbout the middle or last November to voto upon
the question of buying tho Central Congrega
tional Church. It was stated that tho property
would cost $85,000. which Included a mortgago
of $45,000. The vote stood sevonty-two for to
sevonty-two against. No effort wns mado on
tho part of the pastor, tho Rev. Daniel Aaa
Blackburn, to lntluenco tho voto ono way or
another. After tho vote was announced it was
practically decided to givo up Iho proioct of
moving uptown, since, it was concluded. In a
matter like that, with the vote a tie. tho wishes
of one side should bo rcspectod as much as those
of the other.
The question of moving was not rovlvcd until
a meeting of the congregation, held on Doc. 15.
When they got to tbe meeting many of the con
gregation wero surprised when Informed that I
the meeting bad been callod for tbe purpose of
reconsidering the vote on tho question of buj- I
ing tno uentrai uongregallonal nroperty. A
man who has been a member of tbe Church of
the Strangers for twenty-thrco years gave the
following description, yesterday afternoon, of
the meeting of Dec. 15:
"The meeting was quite different from tho
ono in November. Among thoao present wero
persons who hadn't boon seen in tbo Church of
the Strangers in five years. Whethor they had
kept up their contributions during that time I
can t say. It is fair to suppose, however, that
when a man doesn't attend n church for live
years he hasn't kept on contributing to that
church during that time. When I expressed
surprise. at seeing some of those persons thero
I etai told that they bad come only at Iho ourn
eat solicitation of Mr. Blackburn. Then I found
that our pastor had been carrying on an ncllve
campaign among tho congregation to se
cure votes in favor of tho purchase of
the Central Congregational property. A
number of pretty warm speeches wero
made for and against tho proposition. Ono of
the members took the plutform tospoak against
tho project. In tho course of his speech ho
turned to Mr. Blackburn nnd asked him point
blank If he thought It dignified and proper for a
pastor to try to influence his congregation ln a
matter like that under discussion, and reminded
Mr. Blackburn that his conduct then was very
different from bis conduct before tho November
meeting. Tbe pastor follow ed ln a apecch justi
fying his action. Then a voto w as taken which
I resulted In 144 persona voting In favor of buy
ing the property to 44 against lu
"A ahort time after that, on Jan. 20. 1 think
It waa, a letter, aigned by a largo number of tho
members of the congregation who wore not in
favor of moving uptown, wns sent out inviting
all the members of tbe church to attend what
was called a mid-week prajcr meeting, to be
held every Thursday night In tbo First Re
formed Presbv terlan Church, in Twelfth streot.
Thursday night wns aelected sons not to Inter
fere with the regular prajer meeting of tho
church, which is held on Friday evening. Th"so
prayer meetings have been largely attended.
hather a now church will grow out of them
remains to bo seen. Tbe proposition hns been
discussed to somo oxtent. At ever) ono of our
prayer meetings wo pray for the church up
town, and we want it understood that thero is
no row and no secession."
