PAGE SIX. , ASTORIA, OREGON, ' SATl'RDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1904. CONDITIONS AT CRIPPLE CREEK. Peace Prevail and the Yellow Matal Pens out Plentifully. Cripple Creek, Colo., Sept 2S.Four tons of pure gold will be the iel4 of the mines of Cripple Creek this month. It has been one of the busiest months the camp has known In years. The ore has come out at a rate greater than vas maintained before the labor trou bles arose to disturb the output. In dollars the value of the September production will be fully i,000,000. . It helps to show the greatness of th Cripple Creek field when after yield ing more than $170,000,000 In gold In the 14 years since the discovery of the deposits. It can quickly recover from -the most bitter labor war In the his tory of agitation and make a record leld of gold on the very heel of such a contest. It joes to prove the state ment often made but seldom given such unquestionable proof, that the work of opening mines In the district has only begun and that the life of greatness for the camp will last beyond the genera tion. Since law and order gained the as cendency over lawlessness and disor der. Cripple Creek has presented an en tirely different aspect from that the outside world Is still In the main be lieving to exist. A more peaceful, bet ter" ordered community It would be dif ficult to find anywhere In our Una. People re contented and prosperous; much money is being mafie by mine owners and lessees alike; the streets are daily filled with thousands of tour ists who are making "the one day trip that bankrupts the English language," enjoying the wonderful ride through the mountains that bring them to and taka them from the camp and spending a few hours viewing the Intensely in teresting complex life of a mining camp; laboring men are enjoying high wages and comfortable hours, are. get ting ahead, savins money and looking! for leases that will make them rich. The Jails are empty of all but the fed eration criminals left over from the period of disorder from which the camr has emerged, there Is less need for policemen than there has ever been In the history of the activity of the sec tion and In every way the camp Is prospering and the people happy and contented. The 4000 men working in the mines are all non-union and of the American class 1 that Is looking ahead to ad vancement. They are of the kind of workmen that at the end of the month takes his pay check home to his wife, talks over with her how much shall be spent for household expenses, how much he will need for car fare to and - from work, how much of that he may save by walking down hill from ' the mine in pleasant weather and how much shall be laid away against the day when he can get a lease that will raise him from a day-laborer to a mine owner, , . ... -1,1, ognlses this trait In the Japauese and that consequently all the bankers In China are "Japs." Speaking of the progress of that mi tion. Mr. Fulton said that their Im provenjent In the arts of war was but an illustration. Fifty years ago the were using bows and arrows, while now no nation surpasses them in death dealing instruments, "Nor is It In war alone they have Improved, hut In eiu cation," said Mr. Fulton, "and toda many of the brlshtcst of their young men are being educated at our unlver cities." Salem Statesman. Stole Furs and Jewelry. Philadelphia. Seot. 23. Jewelry and furs valued at nearly $4000 were stolen from tlie home of a wealthy resident of this city during the week.
