The Victor correspondent of the Denver Den-ver Kopublicau says: Still another sensational strike has beeu made iu the Cripple Creek dis-tiuit. dis-tiuit. Ihis time it is in the Pharmacist Pharma-cist on ISull hill. Of the barge number of strikes which a.'ive followed each other with such astounding rapidity of late, this one Olds fair to outrival even the largest. A strange feature of the strike is in the fact that the property is being worked ly lessees, and that a large quantity of ore has already been saved with practically no development having hav-ing to be done by them. Yauatta & Co. are the lessees, and their operations nre eiinfimui t.i mam workings of the mine. The time 'H me lease is eighteen months from I be Pith of last month. I T. Sanders is superintending the work on the mine ior the company. Mr. Sanders oner uiorougwy iirospecting the workings work-ings commenced active uiiuitig only last week. lie reports having found plenty of on; in sight in the breast of the drifts and the stopes. Assays obtained ob-tained from this strike run very high, In some cases reaching tip into the tens of thousands. Stoping was proceeded with in the 175, 300 and 400-foot levels right away, jvith the result that already the lessees have L'yi tons ready for shipment. In addition enough ore has been broken to keep that part of the force which is employed on ore busy for D. days' hoisting it. The ore alreadv on h.-init consiste nf fifteen tons of screenings, ten tons of coarse rock and tons of sacked ore. The screenings average about L ounces, and the sacked ore will run irom ten to fifteen ounces. The ore body from which the high values are obtained measures 12 feet In the widest part. There is abotft 3r, feet of this width. 'There is 75 feet of the ore chute already uncovered. It is expected that it will extend at least l.0 feet, the length of the chute said to have been found in the old workings by the Pharmacist Company. Two large and handsome" specimens were taken from the mine. They are lysianzea quartz covered with sprinkles sprink-les oi free gold. Ore from this property proper-ty also carries sylvanite. One of the specimens has been sent to Colorado Springs; the other, which measures about 18 by 12 inches, is in the superintendent's super-intendent's office. The Pharmacist is owned bv the Pharmacist Mining Company, which was the first company in the" camp to pay a dividend. MINING NOTES.

A wonderfully rich strike Is reported tttST'ZbVn; and almost at the summit of the range. - Thomas Cunningham has discovered a lead containing almost pure silver glance and a black substance, which fries when placed on a stove, and which is supposed to be oxide of manganese. man-ganese. A few days ago Mr. Cunningham brought down one piece of silver glance weighing thirteen ounces, which was about 87.1 per cent, sil- besides several smaller pieces. Large chunks of silver glance have been found iu this locality for years, and many efforts have been made to discover the lead. From present indications indi-cations Mr. Cunningham's find Is the richest that has been made in this locality lo-cality since the days of the Pelican and Dunderberg. The Queen of the West lode, located loca-ted close to the new find, also produces pro-duces oxide of manganese, but has as yet found no silver glance. It may be that the two pieces or property are on the same vein, and that the Queen of the West has not yet reached a sufficient suffi-cient depth to encounter the silver glance. This discovery will cause a boom in the Argentine district, and a good many old properties will again be reopened. ne com pan j K has reached mence. Conshlon.i.i,. i,."1""!

The suddencss of the coup is said to be due to the desire of the dowager empress to prevent the mission of the Marquis I to from being successful. The Japanese statesman recently came to Pekin with the object of tryiog to bring about an alliance, offensive and defensive, between .lapan and China. The new order of things will undoubtedly un-doubtedly prejudice British interests in China. It is reported that the next edict will give the full reason for the change. The wording of the present edict is not yet obtainable, but it is to the ef fect that the emperor requested the dowager empress to assume power this being the third time the request has been made. The Marquis Ito, in an interview be fore the edict was issued, said the emperor em-peror received him yesterday in the most cordial manner and said he hoped to have the advantage of the advice of the marquis in the reforms which his majesty intended to undertake. The marquis, even then, feared that the utituv" i -"atism of the . uiiouo-h he believed iui ,. peror was acting in good faith. London,. Sept. 24. According to a special dispatch received from Pekin, members of the. European community there believe the life of the emperor of China is in danger. It is added that the dowager empress desires to place Prince Kwang's grandson on the throne. The emperor realizes the strength of the conspiracy against him and has ordered the guards at th? palace to be strengthened. ry "01 to be considers f ,!tl- 1 10111 present indica tions it will iu'JJl h; s,1nni"g lr the to- .-jew ;mn s hi hm nrwtito nwni f 1J ripple Creek i.OOO.OOO. district foi Crushing Capacity of Stamps.

Fomenting an Outbreak of the Insurgent! JAgMinst the American Forces. San Francisco, Sept. 24. A Manila correspondent of the Evening Post says that Germany is endeavoring to embitter the followers of Aguinaldo against the Americans and that she has officers in their ranks, secretly drilling them. He says that this has been going on for years and prior to the interference of the United States in the Philippine affairs almost every German vessel that landed there carried car-ried one or more officers in disguise and stacks of arms and ammunition for the insurgents. The Post's informant has just received re-ceived a letter from an authoritative source in Hamburg, giving the details of Germany's future in the islands, llricfly the plan is as follows: Germany w ill send numerous trading vessels to the islands and will arm 150,000 Filip-pinos, Filip-pinos, besides furnishing Krupp guns and artillery for field use. The islanders island-ers will be thoroughly drilled by German Ger-man officers, and by February Senor Aguinaldo will be prepared to make an onslaught upon the American forces. To aid this plot, the letter says that Germany is trying to induce China to purchase a large number of big war vessels, ostensibly to strengthen strength-en her navy, but really to be held for transfer to Germany should complications complica-tions arise. The German agents, who have made a report to their government, say that it will be impossible for the United States to land more than 50,000 men in the Philippines before Aguinaldo is ready to make his coup. The German report of the condition of affairs says that America's only hope is to disar'in the insurgents. SPANISH WAR PENSIONS. live Huiid red Application Have Already ISeen Iileil. Washington.

The recent strike in the Comstock at Park City holds out well ub the work progresses in its exploration. A.

The alliance at Park City will re sume operation on the 1st with a force of ten or f.' men. and as there is a large area of virgin ground within the boundaries of the group in which to prospect, it is confidently believed that iu the near future this property will be on the shipping list. At a meeting of the directory of the Mercur Mining company, it was decided de-cided to remodel the plant of the com pany at Manning, and also to increase the capacity of the works by at least 100 tons, which will give the mill a capacity ca-pacity of treating 4U() tons of ore daily. A shipment of ore from the Albion uisne in Little Cotton wood canyon is at the sampler, but it, will not be marketed mar-keted at once, as it has been attached by the adverse claimants to the property. prop-erty. When this little legal difficulty regarding the Albion is settled it is expected this property will become a regular shipper. Hon. R. C.

Mr. Coulom was followed by Benjamin Benja-min Goddard, who spoke at some length upon the healing power possessed pos-sessed by the apostles and bishops of the church. He derided the theory that sickness and pain may be thrown off by the power of mind of the afiiicted one, but was convinced that this could be done by the apostles and bishops. President George Q.
