Ex-Governor Cummings, former
ly of Colorado, is now publishing
a new penny paper in Philadelphia,
called “ The Day.”
The Denver Tribune says: Work
is progressing on tlie Congregation
al church. Doors have been put in
and the windows will soon be in
their places. Colorado has increas
ad in the value of its improvements
at least a million dollars during the
Inst month, by the building of tlie
D. P. R.”
From the Neu-s we get the particu
lars of the burning of the dwelling
buildings, grain etc, of Miers Fisher
on Clear Creek : “Between the hours
of one and two o’clock this morning
the residence of Miers Fisher on
Clear Creek, three miles from Den
ver, together with granary contain
ing six thousand bushels of grain, a
large stable, and one hundred tons
of hay and and all the implements
used on a farm of three hundred
acres, including a threshing ma
chine, and mowing and reaping
machines, were entirely destroyed
by fire. A high wind was blowing
at the time, and in a few minutes
after the discovery of tlie fire the
buildings were wrapped in flames
and it was'imposible to save any of
their contents, except tlie horses in
the stable. The loss is quite heavy
and can not fall short of twenty
thousand dollars, on which there
was no insurance. We did not learn
the origin of the fire.”
The liegister says ; “ Messrs. Crow
<t Clark are shipping their concen
trated ore from their second-class
stock, to Lewis & Son, Liverpool.
