ITS LEGENDS AND HISTORY. The listory of some of the discoveries in the 12 mile Cripple Crick district read 1: ke fiction.

It is claimed that the Aztecs or Spaniards mined here hundreds of yea -s ago, crude -shafts having been earthed, authorizing such a claim. The first modern discovery of gold was made three years ago by a cow-puncher, herding his cattle on the vast valley range. The float ore he picked up assayed lose to $50OO a ton. The story of the discovery of famous Pharmacist Mine is not without interest. A yoi ng Colorado Springs druggist caught the gold fever and start ed out to wall: the 23 miles.

He reached the camp and sat himself down to eat the scanty "grub" he had carried w.th. him. After finishing he was attract by a bit of float formation at his feet, and concluded to drive his stake of location there. To-d: the result of that mid-day meal id stake, is a mine yielding about a month. The Pharmacist is a listed property, but the story of the C.

And it was all about silver. Silver since has dropped to the third consideration in the State. Now the first is gold everyone is gold crazy then comes irrigation, and thirdly, with a supporting thread of uncertainty attached, silver.

Anil this reversal of things is chiefly due in Colorado to a little shanty town dropped into one of the laps of the Kockies, far up about 10,000 feet over the face of the sea, and dignified with the dwarfed name of Cripple Creek. The world has been hearing of this gold camp very often since last July, and justly it is a natural wonder. The story of its finds read like fiction, and the individuality of the camp is striking, since the existence of Cripple" Creek from a point of time is short, very short it has hardly discarded its swaddling clothes. It stole from Nature last year $2,500,000 in gold, and two years prior over the ground now filled with prospectors' holes sleepy cows grazed, and wandered in the care of the poetical, picturesque cow-punchcr.

Splendid roads, good water and a fine climate form a trio which makes the miner who has experienced the deserts and heat of Arizona and New Mexico look on this new gold field from a standpoint of existence and accessibility as an El Dorado. It is about 112 miles from Denver, and 23 miles from Colorado Springs. It is the very ground floor over which so many feet tramped in the memorable rike's Teak excitement. Intellectual men abound in the camp, and it is not an uncommon thing to see a college'graduate working with pick in hand next to-his less fortunately educated brother, the common miner. Its population no one can assert last week it was 7000, this week it is 10.000 no one can give exact figures.

One line of stages, from Midland brings into the camp 50 passengers daily, while the Cheyenne route is taxed to its utmost, and hundreds of individual outfits are climbing these beautiful mountains to unload their human freight at this speculative settlement. The Cripple Creek resident is startled even after a few weeks' absence to find on his return scores of new houses erected, and the hotels dispensing with the essential Ik sold to the conspirators, his kitchen may not le safe against them, nor his study, nor even the chapel where he worships. When he walks abroad his path must be needfully cleared and protected, the-walls and tlixJrs of his palaces must Ve searched before he visits them, and his journeys by railway necessitate a minute inspection of the line, with often a cordon of soldiers to keep it from point to point.

The bluff didn't work, for Tutt's friend was current is so delicately poised that even the movement of a fly's leg will produce a vibration which is accurately reproduced in the telephone.

That is the secret of the whole affair. -Keeping that fact in mind, it will surprise mauy persons to learn that three ordinary round nails and a square jrieee of wood will form a very good microphone. Two of the nails are laid parallel to, but not touching each other. The third nail is laid across the first two, which are connected in circuit with a battery and a telephone receiver. The nails, of course, are laid on the flat, square pieces of wood, which acts as a sounding board and transmits to the nails any vibration which may take place upon it.

So it is with me. Remember also when the cock crew thou wentest out and wept bitterly.

So it is with me. Thou must let me in." And the voice from inside the door of paradise grew calm. The sinner, remaining a little longer at that time vitality is at its lowest ebb and needs stimulation, rather than further taxing. None but the gentlest exercise should be taken until the exhausted systenjfhas been supplied with abundant nourishment. In the farly afternoon, especially if a noonday dinner be taken, the results of mental labor are not, as a rule, satisfactory, because digestion am sound thought cannot proceed together.

Another voice from the inside was heard, which said: "Who is that man, and how has he lived on earth?"

Then answered the voice from inside the door: workers, and there are some enthusiasts who think it the height of cruelty to pupils and teachers alike that school should be in session in the afternoon. From noon until after 3 o'clock there is a perceptible disinclination to work. The comparative absence of electricity from the atmosphere makes the head heavy and induces drowsiness.

The rame condition prevails again between 9 or 10 o'clock at night and sunrise. There is little question of the fact that "Get out of here. Such sinners can iiif "77i7Tmn TffrS not live with us in paradise." The sinner said: "Lord. I hear thy voice, but I do not see thy face, and do not know thy name."

When it is iu excess, from 8 o'clock in the morning until noon, the best work is done, all other conditions being favorable.

Again, from alMut o'clock in the evening, it rises and is maintained for some three hours. Iu regard to season, there is less atmospheric electricity at midsummer than at midwinter. Then the sinner did not despair. He did not leave tlu door but said: "Have pity on me, King David, and remember the weakness of meu, and An Americau Academy. the grace of God.
