A ‘three-foot’ snake was snaked

The Democratic State convert
vention will meet on the sixth of
September. Baca county is en
titled to two delegates. The regu
lar call extends the following in
vitation:
“All citizens, without respect to
previous party afliliations, who
are willing to unite with the
Democratic party in its demand
as embodied in the national plat
form adopted by the Chicago con
vention, for the free and unlimit
ed coinage of both silver and gold,
at the ratio of 16 to I, without
waiting for the consent of any
other nation, are invited to take
part in the caucuses, primaries,
conventions and other councils of
the Democratic party and to par
licipate in the nomination and
election ot persons to state and
county ofliees.”
You can’t grub-stake a man in
the Klondyke. The laws of the
Dominion of Canada are such that
they nullify any and all contracts
entered into between the mail
who puts up the grub stake and
the man who accepts it. The laws
seemed to be aimed especially at
Americans, and tho grub-staker, if
caught is liable to a fine of SI,OOO
while the grub stakee goes free.
Also the Captain of any vessel
who knowingly brings grub-stak
ees, into her majesty’s dominion
is liable to a fine of SSOO lor each
offense and imprisonment for six
months. Her gracious magesty’s
governor general will see that the
laws are enforced to the letter in
the Klonkyke, and American’s
had better beware ot how they
behave in the blawsted country,
you know. —Pueblo Indicator.
Colorado at the Exposition.
As work in connection with the
Trans-Mississippi exposition pro
gresses, which important affair
will be hehjl in Omaha during the
season of 1898, wide interest is
manifested in all the leading cit
ies and towns of Oolorodo to com
bine in a movement to give this
state a befitting and extensive dis
play of its mining, agricultural,
and commercial industries, lion.
Ilenrv P. Steele of Denver, vice
president from Colorado, for the
Trans-Mississippi exposition, has
already issued an address urging
the people of the state to co-oper
ate in the movement. The legis
lature made no appropriation for
an official exhibit, but Gov. Ad
ams appointed a commission to
.take charge of the matter. The
architect of the mines and mining
ibuildmg is John J. Humphreys of
Denver. The building will occu
py a space 400 feet, long by 150
feet wide, and sixty feet in height
from the ground to the cornices,
with an immense central dome
rising 250 feet above the level.
The building will cost $100,000.
Colorado is one ot the chief min
ing states in the union and the
chamber of commerce, the mining
bureau and other organizations
are taking hold with commendable
energy in order 10 make the min
ing exhibit superior to that of any
other state represented. The ex
hibit will consist of a complete
representation ot the products and
industrial resources of the state in
which each county will do its lull
share in view of large and benefi
cial returns accruing to the state
in the near future. As one of the
novel features of the exhibit will
be a reproduction of Cripple Creek
as it was before the lire. II011.
George M. Miscke, representing
the exposition in Colorado, has
opened an office in the rooms oc
cupied by the bureau of mines, in
Denver, and is actively engaged
in working up the industries oft be
state lor the exposition exhibit.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly,
for August.
There is something to interest
nearly every kind of reader in
Frank Leslie’s Popular monthly for
September. Tho diversity and
timeliness of its contents and the
great profusion of its illustrations
make this number a particularly
attractive one. The lending arti
cle gives much interesting infor
mation about the historic Walikill
Valiev, in New York State, and
SPRINGFIELD, BACA COUNTY, COLORADO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1897.
tells of the troubles with the
Indians, the founding of a Hugue
not village, the first meeting of
the State Legislature, etc. It is
written by John P. Hitter, who
personally visited the places de
scribed, taking many excellent
photographs, which are reproduc
ed with the article. In “Cycle
Touring in Ireland*’ S. 11. Ilerron
writes of a trip through the most
important towns ot the Kmerald
Isle. The college article this
mouth treats of Wellslev, and is
by Virginia Sherwood. A paper
of great interest and value is “The
United States Marine Hospital
Service,’’in which Joanna 8 Nicli
alls tells of the history, work and
officers of that important branch
of our government. The old city
of Bahia, in Brazil is the subject
of an article by Ilenrv Grevson;
Garrard Harris writes entertain
ingly of “Plantation life in Dixie’’
The American Cities series is con
tinned with a graphic account of
Pittsburg, by Charles T. Logan;
There are several good short stories
and an exciting installment of the
serial, “The Catspaw,” is given;
the department ot stories and
verses for young people is as bright
as usual. Frank Leslie’s Publish
ing House, ftew York.
Simplicity Brings Life’s Best Pleasures.
“For poor and rich alike the
highest pleasure and utility in life
will come from simplifying it,
writes “Droch” of “Vacation Me
anderings” in the August Ladle’s
Home Journal* “The content
ment that can only be had from
tierve3 that are not overstrained
is to be found by reducing your
daily life to its simpliest terms.
This applies with equal force to
the hard-working man or woman
with small income or to the rich
who are cumbered with many
cares. Poverty has been made
just as complex as riches by the
many things that ill-advised
teachers have taught poverty to
expect that it ought to accomplish.
What both must learn, for the
best results in their own lives, is
not how little can be had for a
great 'deal of money, but how
much ot real and permanent value
can be secured for a little nnney.
This is the highest economy and
it cannot be taught—it must be
learned by experience, and you
cannot begin it at a better time
than when seeking a vacation.”
“COLORADO'S CLIMATE AND
MINERALS” tells all about the
wonderfully beneficial effects of
the dry climate of Colorado on
those suffering from depression,
puhnanary troubles, asthma, etc.
it also tells of Colorado’s great
gold fields and gives a certificate
ot stock in a gold mine to evey
tenth subscriber. Or it will send
a handsome specimin ot gold ore
to those who prefer it. Only 50
cents a year. Address “Colorado's
Climate and Minerals,” P. O. Box
392, Denver, Colo.
Just What Miners Want.
All who are, or expect to be, in
terested ill mines will be glad to
know that Henry N. Copp, the
Washington, (D. C.) land lawyer,
has revised Cops Prospector’s Man
uel. The inineralogicul part of the
work has been almost entirely re
written by a Colorado mining en
gineer, who lias had years of ex
perience as a prospector, assayer
and superintendent of mines and
United Slates surveyor.
The book is a popular treatise
on assaying and meneralogv. and
will be found useful to all who
wish to discover mines. The first
part of the work gives the United
States mining laws and regula
tions, how to locate and survey a
mining claim, various forms and
much valuable information. The
price is 50 cents at tho principal
book stores, or of the author.
