COLORADO'S GOLDEN RICHES
Cripple Creek One of the Marvels of
the Age One Million a
Month.
THE RICHEST REGION IN THE WORLD
The Population of the Gold Mining
Metropolis Has Increased from
Fifty to 25,000 in Four Years
20,000 Men.
Chioago, Not. 21. The Times-Herald
this morning devotes two columns to a
carefully prepared report on Cripple
Creek and the gold fields of Oolorodo.
It says: "A million dollars a month of
this precious metal is the product of
Cripple Creek district, and this figure,
big a. it-teems, is a conservative . rattier
than a liberal statement.
"It is asserted by the miners that this
country, containing twenty-four square
miles, contains more riches than any
other region in the world.
"The golden wealth of this part of
Colorado is not limited to the Cripple
Creek fields. The prospects at West
Creek, about twenty miles from Colorado
Springs, show heavy gold deposits, and
there is a rush to that territory.
"The population of Cripple Creek has
increased in proportion to the develop
ment of wealth. Four years ago the
dwellers in the seotion named were fewer
than fifty at two or three stock camps.
"In the same territory there is now a
population of 25,000. Of this number 20,-
000 are men."

City of Mexico, Nov. 21. Endeavors
are being made to arrange for the estab
lishing of a direct cattle trade with Eu
rope, and probably also dressed beef and
canning for export will be oommenced
here in competition with the United
States, and the calculations show that
Mexico, being on a silver basis, this will
pay a handsome profit.
HARRISON'S BOOMLET.
tt Mathers Force at a Conference of
Big Uuns in New York.
New York, Nov. 21. Monday was a field
day for the Harrison presidential boom.
There was a conference at the Fifth
Avenue hotel at whioh Harrison was pres
ent in person and his aides were there by
the sore. Borne of Allison's and Reed's
friends were also on deck.
Such a fathering of party leaders has
not been seen in . the Fifth Avenue for
many a day. Besides Msnley and Cannon
there were J. S. Olarkson, R. C. Kerens,
Warner Miller, T. 0. Piatt, Gen. Russell
A. Alger, Senator S. B. Elkins, ex-Secretary
of the Interior John W. Noble, of
Missouri; senator KedHeld Frootor, of
Vermont; George Crist, of Arizona; ex-
Colleotor Joel B. Erhardt, J. Sloat Fassett
and Franois Hendricks, all of whom served
under Harrison; Superintendent of Pub
lic Works Aldridge, Congressman J. S.
Sherman, of Utica; ex-Congressman Geo.
West and any number of others more or
less prominent. Manley was just back
from a swing around tbe far western
oirole in Reed's interest; the one topio of
tali naturally was tbe presidency.
Ularsson deoiared Allison's obanoes
were just as good now as before the elec
tions; Manley boomed Reed; Noble, Proc
tor, Kerens and Erhardt opined that Har
rison would draw tbe prize; tbe Mew
York men tipped Morton with a wink;
and Elkins remarked facetiously that he
was only a farmer and did not know
much about it.
Harrison had all the best of the argu
ment. It was his day. His friends bad
evidently come together by prearrange
ment to make a demonstration. There
were several embarrassing meetings, one
of whioh oooasioned no end of comment.
Gen. Clarkson and Col. Manley were con
versing in tbe parlor of the hotel when
ex-President Harrison passed. He bowed
to (JIarkson, bnt cut Manley cold. Manley
notioed the slight, and, turning to Clark
son, asked: "Who's your friend?"
"Oh," said the Iowa statesman, "that's
the man who appointed you postmaster
at Augusta."
Home of tbe Heed men commented bit
terly on this incident, recalling that Man-
ley had resigned the AuguBta postmaster
ship in 1892 to work for Harrison at Min
neapolis. Mr. Manley has nothing to say
himself, but he has a long memory and
may inoorparate his feelings in a book
of memoirs on the Sherman plan.
Ihe true inwardness of what took place
in the conference has not yet been de
veloped but it is apparent that Harrison
is gaining strength and is in the race for
all it Is worth.

FAITH IN THE "HEALER."
The Mysterious Han Still Missing
Will He Hetnrn f-People Who
Proclaim His Magic Power.
Denver, Nov. 21. All efforts to disoovr
er the whereabouts of Franois Schlader,
the mountain messiah and healer, who
disappeared . from this city during the
night of the 13th, have proved unavail
ing. It is claimed by many of Sohlader's
friends that he has simply withdrawn to
some remote point iu the fastnesses of
the mountains at the command of "tbe
Father," and that hn will soon return
ancl take up the work set for him to do.
TTiere are hundreds who bear testimony
of the benefits derived from the treat
ment by this mysterious man, but no one
expresses firmer belief than 8upt. Dick
inson, of the Union Pacific railroad, who
avers that he was cured of deafness by
touching the messiah's hand. The faith of
Supt. Dickinson in the healer is shared
by thousands throughout the Rooky
mountain region who have either been
cured or greatly benefited by his mysteri
ous power.
A BOSTON TESTIMONIAL.
Boston, Mass. A special to the Stand
ard from Westfleld, Mass., says:
"Yes, sir, I am a well man to-day. A
month ago I was dying from consump
tion, but thanks to the magio hand of
Franois Sohlader I am well again."
This interesting announcement was
made by Edward 0. Lynch, who has just
returned from Denver, whither he went
for the purpose of seeking relief "at the
hands" of the new "messiah."
Mr. Lynoh had been suffering for sev
eral yearB from a deep-seated pulmonary
trouble, and announced his intention of
leaving town. He was so weak that his
folks at first were disinclined to allow
him to make the journey. But he per
sisted, saying he knew Sohlader would
cure him.
He relates his experience as follows:
"I reaohed Denver on Ootober 28, and
it took me three days to reaoh Mr.
Schlader. I Baid when I reached his Bide:
'Mr. Schlader, I am a sufferer from lung
trouble.' He did not answer, but simply
took my hands in his, and looking me in
the eyes a moment, finally let me go and
rnbbed my chest. Then he grasped a
handkerchief I held out to him, and after
that I walked away.
"In about an hour after I began to feel
like a new man. Sohlader, to speak
plainly, is a great physician Bnd minister
combined, and when I was reoeiving his
ministrations the perspiration stood out
on me like glass beads.
. "Now, all my cough is gone and I feel
as strong as Ajax."
Ureater Than Ever.
Milwaukee, Nov. 21. More iron ore
has been shipped during the present year
from the ranges in the Lake Superior
district, inoluding tbe Geogbio, Besse
mer, Menominee, Marquette, Nesaba and
Vermillion, than during any other entire
year in the history of ore mining in Wis
consin, Miohigan and Minnesota. The
shipments up to November 1, this year,
amounted to 9,345,741 tons, and before
the cloBe of navigation, whioh will not be
until early in December, the total ship
ments will, it is said, reach the 10,000,000

Schools for Negroes. .
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 21. The conven
tion has finished consideration of the
educational artiole and it was ordered to
a third reading. A proposition was in
serted providing for the establishment of
industrial, meohanioal and normal schools
for negroes. The state already has a
college for them in connection with tbe
Claflin university, but the two will be
divorced and the state assume entire con
trol. It is also provided that dispensary
profits outside of what is given to coun
ties and municipalities shall be applied
to the Bohool funds, it is probable it
will be amended to inolude penitentiary
profits.

Copyrighted 1895 by Associated Press.
Constantinople, Nov. 21. Matters pol
itical do not look as bright to-day as
they did yesterday.
Once more Bahri Pasha is the disturb
ing element. This notorious official
made himself bo conspicuous by his
cruelty to the Armenians and by the mal
administration of his district when gov
ernor of Van, that the British ambassador
insibted upon his removal and the sultan
removed him, but deoorated him with the
order of Osmanien and complimented
him upon his efforts to suppress disorder.
Now Bahri Pasha has been appointed
the military commander of the Aleppo
district.
The representatives of the powers dis
cussed the matter from all the stand
points and joined in a note to the Turk
ish government, saying that they can not
answer for the consequences which might
ensue should the Armenians of Keitoun
be massacred after their surrender, whioh
the Armenian patriarch, at the instance
of the representatives of the powers, is en
deavoring to bringabonttopreventfurht
er bloodshed.
A dispatch from Aleppo says that the
greatest alarm still prevails there.
Hurried and frequent councils of the
ministers are being held at the palace
and some plain language is said to have
been used by the sultan.
That a sweeping out of the present
cabinet is contemplated nobody doubts.
The British fleet is still at Salonica.
The French and Italian fleets are at
