A TON OF SILVER A DAY.
THE RAILROAD THAT LEADVILLE IS
SENDING OUT TO TUE CAMPS—DO
ING A BIG BUSINESS—A FEW OF
THE UNFORTUNATE INVESTMENTS
SOMETHING ABOUT THE MINES.
[Special Correapoudence Philadelphia Times:)
Leadville, Col., September 18.
The “Carbonate Camp” over which
the world went wild last year has,
very naturally, become a quiet, non
speculative city. Its boom is silenced
notwithstanding the fact that the pro
duction of silver is larger than ever,
averaging this writing and for all of
the present Year a ton of solid silver
per day, the mad era of speculation
lias gone by and every pursuit lias set
tled into the familiar grooves of safe
permanent and deliberate progress.
The change is greeted with satisfac
tion by the majority of the i eople, not
on!;, of Leadville, but of Coloradq.
Kail id progress, so long udaj ed Oj
sn unfortunate and bitter emute be
tween rival corporations, has been
rapid since the welcome compromise
of last winter. Four daily express
trains now arrive and depirt from our
city. Side tracks connect our great
smelting establishments with the main
line thus greatly faciliating the deliv
ery of coke, charcoal, wood, etc., and
the shipment of ore and bullion. The
pioneer narrow gauge railroad of the
United States, and Denver and Rio
Grande deserves especial mention and
no small praise for its energy and per
severance. Originated by and always
under the control of Philadelphia
men, its career lias been brilliant be
yond the wildest dreams of its projec
tors, and the future has in store so
vast a reward for the company that to
day no man can compute the half of
it. Its earnings are now vastly above
its expenses and its extensions are al
most paid from its profits Since
April 1 of this year the company lias
completed its Leadville extension,
from Canon City to tills point, a dis
tance of one hundred and twentv-five
miles; lias extended its line from Ala
mosa, near the southern boundary of
Colorado,down the Rio Grande Valley
beyond Tres Piedras, Mew Mexico;
lias extended its San Juan branch
nearly to the famous Pagosa Hot
Springs, in southwestern Colorado,
which springs are said liv chemist to
be superior to the renowned Arkansas
Springs.
In additiou to these achievements
in actual tiack laying the company
has graded a line from Canon City to
.Silver Cliff, fifty miles, ami will soon
be running its trams into this, Colo
rado's third mining camp; another
line from Leadvilie to Kokomo, the
centre of die great Ten Mile mining
district, which is second only to Lead,
ville in rich and productive mines.
This line is now being graded to
Rreckenndge, one of the new camps
which lias attained prominence this
year by reason of rich natural discov
eries. Another extension, now graded
and tied, ready for the iron, runs
from this city to the Eagle River min
ing district, forty five miles distant,
the line passing through a region
known to lie ricli in precious metals.
Neglected above, but worthy of spec
ial mention, is the completion of a
line between Colorado Springs and
Manitou, the famous Rocky Moun
tain spa, a distance of five miles
n THE (i ROW INO BUSINESS.
Upon all of these completed exten
sions the volume ot business is im
mense and rapidly growing. The re
sults which are already in s’ght are
the wonderful rise in prices of stocks
and Isolds ef the company, unboun
ded popularity among the people
along the various lines and words of
praise from the leading financiers of
the whole country. From a puny and
weak infant of two years ago,tho Den
ver ami Rio Grande lias suddenly
sprung Into the stature and strength
of a full grown railway giant, backed
by unlimited capital commanding
the services of the finest engineering
talent of the age and managed with
consummate boldness, prudence and
vigor. In another year it will enter
the confines of old Mexico, pierce the
heart of the great San Juan, open up
the wonderful mineral regions adja
cent and tributary to Leadyillc, enter
the rich Gunnison country and stretch
out toward Southern Utah and Arizo
na, its trade inviting and civilizing
bands of steel. With such a record
and commanding as it does the best
talent ot the country In its practical
operations, I repeat that Philadelphia
may take just pride in that grand
achievement ot her sons, the leading
spirit, General William J. Palmer,
having been one of the bravest of the
hosts of Quaker City men who fought
the great civil war through. He
moulded his sword into a Trail and is
landing together the lichest mineral
regions in the known world.
To close without some reference to the
|pin|ng Interests would seem strange,
jfapeis to judge from common re
port many of the Philadelphians who
have made investments in ibis
particular section have been very un
fortunate, lo say the least. An inves
tigation of the facts will convince any
one that Ibis is due solely to their
own lack of ordinary prudence or, at
least, judgment. It would appear that
if they sent men here to examine and
report upon the properties they pur
chased those men were either ignorant
or corrupt. Exorbitant prices were
paid for undeveloped properties and
incompetent managers were placed in
charge.
Again, supposing that the proper
ties purchase! were valuable , the sum
of money put up as working capital
were totally insufficient, even had
practical miners been employed in the
work of development. To these sim
ple but pai|iable facts may be attribu
ted the “bad luck” of Philadelphians
who invested here and llie presumably
bad odor ill which Leadvilie is held in
your c’tv.
THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE.
VOL. XV.
I fully believe that the lowa Gulch
Mining Company, the Argent and the
Del Monte Consolidation are possessed
of good properties and that with the
expenditure of say one hundred
thousand apiece, all have dividend
paying mines. It must not be expec
ted, however, that men who never
saw a mine cun come here and expend
this money wisely oi successfully for
their companies. There are plenty of
honest and competeut miners, exp
rienced in the management of large
properties, whose services can be se
cured for the work of development.
The tender of this advice may seem
presumptuous, but I will go further
and urge upon the dissatisfied stock
holders of the companies named, the
importance of choosing one of two
policies, viz: The immediate furnish
ing of funds ami beginning to work,in
order that all may be in;readiness for
a e development before winter sets
in, or ample preparation tor the inaug
uration of a vigorous campaign un
derground us early as possible next
spring. Then the men who are placed
in charge by the trio of companies
should be vested with absolute power.
Under sueli auspices I predict satis
factory and perhaps brilliaut success
for the hitherto unfortunate compa
nies organized in your city. S. N.
TEXAS AND VERMONT.
In 1870 the population of Texas
was 816,205. Now it is in round
numbers 1,600,000 —or double the
number ten years ago. And the great
State is prosperous in nil directions.
It is proper to state that this large in
crease in the population of Texas has
been made under Democratic rule.
Missouri, also under Democratic rule,
has likewise made an enormous in
crease. Indeed Ibis is the case through
out the “solid South.” Ami the Re
publicans editors, remembering their
slanders of tlint section and loth to ad
mit the truth, have been trying to
charge llie increase to frnduleut census
taking! This is übsurd; for any con
siderable fraud, in any State, would
present its own easy means of expo
sure. Gen Walker is not disposed to
believe such stuff about the work done
by his subordinates of the Census
Bureau; but to satisfy the clamor
about one State, lie lias taken meas
ures to ascertain the truth in the ease
that lias fteen chiefly disputed—Soutli
Carolina. Meantime we have the
significant fact that all tlie Southern
States show a great increase in popu
lation. It is apparent, also, that they
arc enjoying a greater degree of pros
perity than they have liad. In fact
the Sou”.i, relieved of both its old sla
very system and of carpetbag and
bayonet rule, seems to tie entering
upon an era of prosperity greater loan
anything it has ever known. Its
milder and productive soil will soon
begin to attract emigrants from
Europe. The South is peaceable, in
dustrious and prosperous.
Now let us take the situation of a
State which is always utidcr Republi
can rule. The Rutland, (Nt.). Inquirer
lias to say of Vermont:
“Colonel Workington who lias been
employed to gattier statistics relating
to laljor and wages in the various
States of the Union, reports that the
average wages paid for labor m tlie
Slate of Vermont is considerably less
than in any State north of Mason and
Dixon’s line.
“Governor Proctor, in a recent
speech in this town, stated that a large
increase in the number of convicted
criminals in this State was a cause of
the greatly increased cost of its gov
ernment. He reported the Lumber of
criminals to be nearly three times as
great as it was a few years ago.
“Judge Dim tun'staled ill his charge
to the grand jury last September that
the amount paid for intoxicating li
quors consumed in this State in the
year 1870 was $6,700,000, and it had
increased in amount since that time.
Now, this would furnish to every
voter in the State forty-five gallons of
ruin at $2 a gallon, a quantity suffi
cient le keep every one of them drunk
800 days in every year.
“Vermont has always been under
Republican rule.
“Thus it would appear that the
State of Vermont is remarkable for
five things, viz.:
“It has the largest per cent, of
crime.
“The lowest wages.
“The least gain in population.
“It drinks the most rum.
“And has the largest Republican
majority.”— Hartford Times.
A TKLAGKAM of the sth from Jack
sonville, Fla., says: A heartrending
accident occurred in Lavilla suburb,
of this city, to-day. About 2 o’clock
Mrs. William Clarke had just finished
the family meal and two of her chil
dren had taken seats ai tlie tabic,
while the third stood by her, near a
gasoline stove reservoir, which she
was about to fill. From some uuex
plained cause the vessel of gasoline’
which Mrs. Clarke held, became Ig
nited and a fearful explosion
occurred, filling the room Instantly
with a volume of intense flame. Mrs.
Clarke and her three children were
burned in a most terrible manner; the
three children have died, an and there is
little hope of the recovery of the moth
er. Mr. Clarke is one of the leading
business men of the place, and Mrs.
Clarke was greatly beloved by a large
circle of friends. This sad calamity
has cast a gloom over the entire com
munity.

A .WONDERFUL CAVE
THE PALACE IN A MOUNTAIN'S
HEART NEAR LEADVILLE.
Caverns only exist in limestone for
mation, and as this io the principal
geology of ilie country surrounding
Leadvilie it is but reasonable to sup
pose Hint numbsrless caverns exist in
the ground beneath us. Several have
been struck, perhaps the best known
that on Young and Derry’s hill, but
by all odds the most wonderful dis
covery of this kind was made yester
day, in Tennessee Gulch. Alex Olus
man is the owner of a.claim known
as the “Watertown lodge,” located up
tlie gulch, nine or ten miles from the
city. On tliis he had a shaft some fif
ty feet deep, passing through a huge
galena deposit, and lias been actively
engaged in sinking it deeper, in tlie
hope, from the indications, of strik
ing a richer mineral. Yesterday a
French miner by the name of John
Meli was in tlie bottom of tlie shaft,
preparing to put in a blast, but while
cutting the hole the hollow sound that
responded to the blows of liispick gave
warning that he was nearly some sub
terranean passages. He kept on,
however, and actively cleared away
the earth. In an instant later, with
a great crash, tlie bottom of the s'iaft
fell in, and the unlucky miner disap
peared into a black and yawning pit.
His terrified companion ut tlie wind
lass above peered down the gloomy
shaft, but was soon reassured by hear
ing from out the darkness a voice ex-'
claim.
“Hell’s not half a mile off!”
It was •Meli. He had only fallen
four or five feet and stood then upon
the bottom ol a sort of natural tunnel
that pitched abrupt'y into tlie heart of
the mountain. He was uninjured
and called out to tlie man above:
“Come down and listen.”
Hastily descending the rope the two
stood upon the cavern floor ami what
seemed to be an inexplicable phe
nomenon smote upon their cars. It
was a rumbling, rolling sound, like a
cart pulled along or a heavy m in run
ning deep in tlie darkness of the great
mountain. They listened with super
stitious awe, hut presently the cau e
of the strange a Hinds made itself
known. A stone lying at their feet
became lessened and with a hound
started to roll down the steep Ueoivili
ty of the floor. In an in tint the
granite traveler was beyond the foe
tile rays of their caudles, but they
could hear it rolling and falling faiut
er and yet fainter in tlie cavernous
depths beyond. A little distance be
yond the tunnel enlarged into a tinge
gallery, but into this they did not pen
etrate. Fearful of pits and trapfalls
tiifa miners walked but a lev steps a id,
returning to the. upper air, lost no
time in informing Mr. Clusmuti of
their discovery. Preparations were
then m ide to, if possible, thorou glily
explore the cave and i:i the course of
an hour or two the three, equipped
with ropes and inuterus, again de
scended the shaft. They soon stood
upon the shelving floor of tlie tunnel
aod looked about them. The passage
had been pierced somewhere in its
length and on either hand a g tilery
extended at an angle of almost, twenty
degrees up and down. Kuo.viig th it
tho upward pissago must son i, at
that rate, terminate In the outer air,
the miners conclud 'd to explore it
first and clambered up its declivity.
The tunnel was riigily riailil in
shape and some eight or Ln feet high
by as many broad. It was app ircntly
some luige fissure in the f ice i rock
pressed together ley the mighty con
vulsions of nature. It showed no
sign of eulaiging and after tlie men
had scrambled over about a hundred
feet of tlie rocky floor their further
progress was suddenly stopped by a
huge granite boulder that lay directly
in their path. There was plainly an
end to exploration and reluctantly
they retraced their steps and soon
stood again below the bottom of tlie
shaft. The other extremity, however,
stretched dark, yawning arid unknown
before them. Before venturing into
this and fearful of pits and precipices
they linked themselves together by
strands of rope like Alpine climbers.
When this was done and holding their
lamps high above their heads they
slowly proceeded in. At a distance of
bout twenty-five feet tho passage sud
denly enlarged and the roof arched
higher and higher above their heads.
Lost in wonderment the men jour
neyed on and presently entered a
splendid gallery. Here they paused
and seated themselves mi the granite
boulders with which the floor was
strewn. Meantime the light
of their lamps slowly per
meating the darkness revealed a
scene of surpassing beauty.
Oyer fifty feet above their heads a
domelike ceiling tient front wall to
wall, Pendant from it and moulded
in shapes fantastic beyond aU imagery
were the icicles of nature, the atalac
ities. The whole roof seemed dotted
and starred by a million diamonds and
the struggling rays were reproduced
in ail the myriad colors of the rain
bow. The scene was gorgeous past all
description. It was nature’s palace,
and there solitude reigued supreme.
For a long time the explorers paused,
wrapped in admirations, ami then
taking up their lanters journeyed on. '
As they proceeded the gallery grew
rather than diminished in beauty ami
dimensions. In this way they tra
versed upwards of eight hundred feet
ot the cavern, but finding it finally
diverge into several passages they re
traced their steps. At the termina
lion or breaking up of the larger cav
ern was a downward shaft of un
known depth. Astone dropped in
the moutli could he heard filling for
many seconds and finally plashed in
water. As the miners were leaving
the cave their attention was attracted
by the formation of tlie stone that
composed the sides. To their sur
prise they found it rich in galena and
bearing a heavy copper stain. It
seems identical with the mineral
found in tlie shaft, which assays
$79.45 in silver, l.ast evening Mr.
Chisinau and his partner, D. A.
Williams, and Joey MoClennan were
in tlie city and reported their wonder
ful discovery. They brought with
them specimens of tlie ore, which
will be at once assayed. It is certainly
in tho range of possibility that tnc
lucky miners may have pierced a
treasure-houso of nature where
wealth lies lavish for tlie finder’s
and.—£ :.i loille Chronicle.
THE IMPROVED GOAT.
The goat is eminently a suburban
creature. When young he is beauti
ful to look upon, for he is lithe and
graceful. On reaching maturity much
of his beauty passes away, and when
ho advances into old age liu cannot bo
called handsome. Nobody ever kept
an old billy goat for his looks. The
goat, whether masculine, feminine or
Juvenile, delights to roam among va
cant luts,to parade up and duwujstreets
whose pavements are cither partially
finished or else so greatly out "of re
pair as to be in hills and hollows.
There is a touch of the romantic about
tliis style ot highway which does not
pertain to our best avenues and streets
The goat is as romantic as lie is subur
ban. He loves to climb and to take
his children up tho apparently iu <o
ccssiblc slopes of great gravel heaps
and mountains of stone and piles of
brick. Not only is the goat suburban
and romantic, but he is also uncul
tured. Few animals have less refine
ment in their manners. No goat
thinks of making a how as he enters a
room or of saying“by your leave when
about to butt somebody. Vet the goat
Is in a certain sense fond of books,
and if allowed access to a room con
taining them will eat any of which he
may happen to take hold, from a
child’s primer to a family Bible. The
decadence of the hoop skirt lias de
prived the suburban goat of one of the
daintiest morsels that formerly made
up his hi!l of fare. There is compen
sation for tills privation in the great
increase of traffic in canned vegata
bles and meats. The tomato can was
formerly the solo stay of the goat’s
stoulacli in this department of refresh
ment. Now the corned beef can and
tlie sardine boxes and tho tins which
contained diubolized ham and lobster
afford the goat delight together with
variety. The circus poster Is his
chief joy, ami no goat is happier than
when tearing one of these from a wall
or fence prepstory to dining on it.*
The wicked lit 11 posters have tried in
vain to overcome the goat’s appetite
for circus literature by putting pepper
in (he paste. This keeps tlie tender
kids away, but tlie tougli old goats
simply shut their eyes and swallow it
all down.
There is hope for tlie goat in a va
riety of ways and there is a possibility
that American owners of this animal
may follow the example of the British
promoters of the Goat Society. Tliis
society is an association for tho im
provement of the gout .socially, lesthet
ieally, physically and as an article
of diet. As to the elderly masculine
goat, there is little hope of making
him fit to eat except for hoarding
houses, where the hoarders wantonly
a little moat and care not how lough
it is. Bit there is a fair promise that
the kid will become a regular article
of diet. In fact at an exhibition re
cently given in London, the meat of
tho kid was cooked in a variety of
ways and gave great satisfaction to
those who dined on it. There is
nothing objectionable in this, for tlie
kid is a clean and decent animal, free
from tlie objections which are reason
ably urged against the flesh of those
omnivorous creatures, the pig, the
duck and the cat. To eat kid’s meat
is simply a return to tlie custom ol
the pastoral patriarchs of the olden
ime. When Abraham, Isaac or Jacob
had company to dinner, the proper
thing was to set a kid ori tho table.
Many of the Oriental of to-day do lixe
wise, and there is hardly any dish
more in favor among those ho enjoy
Eastern hospitaly than a well cooked
kid. Kids are easy to raise and by no
means costly. When properly cared
for and riglnly cooked, their flesh is as
savory as that of the lamb. It is thought
by some economists that tlie goat may
yet either wholly or partially take
tlie place of the hog. This may tie de
sirable. Asa nation we’ are
eating more pork than is good for us.
A part from considerations of health
fulness, a change might lie of advan
tage. It is not only for flesh that the
culture of the goat can lie mode profita
ble, All parts of the animal can be
utilized, quiteus thoroughly as those
of a cow or pig By long neglect and
exposure to the weather the hair ol
the goat lias become coarse arid harsh.
A few generations of careful cultiva
tion can make gout hair longer and
more silky than it is. There are sev
eral varieties of goat which are noted
for thelength and fineness of their hair
and there is reason to hope that we
may restore our suburban gout to what
he originally was before lie bee tine de
moralized. As for his skin, it makes
excellent leather from the fine gloye
kid of the baby goat to tke stouter and
more durable morocco prepared from
the rkinof the adult. Koine, hoofs
hides and hair can all be put to some
good use. The matern,.l goat is a
steady milker, and her milk is so
rich that sick babes and suffering in
valids fatten on it. The goat is worthy
of a better position in every respect
than it lias generally occupied among
us. The prejudice against it will
rapidly vanish when the economy of
its culture and the excellence of its
meat are fully demonstrated. The
English Goat Society is now giving
tide matter a very thorough trial, of
which we and our goats may soon
reap tlie benefit,
