"THIS Company has been formed to carry on the usual business of a Development, Promf);jtl, and Finance '• Corporation, and to undertake any business commonly | undertaken by Bankers, Financiers, Promoters, and Con- cessionaires. The business of the Company will inc!w1¡o dealing in Options, Securities, and Concessions, and wilJ indude Mining Uperations enerally. Us operations will be chi6fly in connection with the mining innnstries in the recently-discovered Goldfields of Cripple Creek, Colorado, U.S.A. It is, in fact, intended to be the principal parent corporation in connection with this nlew district, similar to the large companies so snccessfully operating in South Africa and Western Australia. lifciiii; a pioneer Company, and almost the first EnglÍ:3h Company to turn its attention to Cripple Creek, it has an exception- ally wide scope for successful and remunerative business. Tiie Directors have every reason to believe that in thi" district there is a large field for development enterprise, with the most favourahleopportunitie¡; for highly profitable results, eater even than those which have been attaincd by similar undertakings in other parts of the world. Until \ery recently the British public had little or no conception of the enormous mineral wealth of the Cripple Crock Fields Its magnitude will be appreciated from the faet that although the most important of tlll's discoveries are of recent date, the annual output froll1 the district during the past fOllr years, according to statements in the liotky Mountain Noes of January 1,1896, has been as under 1891 £ 10,000 1893 £ 500,000 1892 £ 120.000 189-1 £ 300,000 1895 £ 1,620,COO Mr. R. S. Preston, Director of the United States Mint, in speaking of gold mining, is reported by the New York 'il/l"1i to have said: — From fads now in my possession," said Mr. Preston, in discu.-siiig his report, "I am satisfied that the gold product of the world will not be less than §200,000,0C0 for the calender year 1894. Of this increase the United Slates will contribute not less than £ 7.600,CGI, Colorado will furnish fron;$3,500,000 to §4,000,(X30, California, .$;,000,000, and Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, and Montana will make handsome showings. In Colorado the principal increase will come from the Cripple Creek district. This district, altogether, will prorluce i>15,000,cc0 this year. It required sometime to convince c:1pitalists that this was a wonder- fully rk:1 district. The shipments of rich ore made in the lat year have removed all doubt about the future of the Clipple Creek country." (Extract from New York Times in Finmcial News, November 4th, 1895.) h may seem rash to predict that the gold product of Colorado in 1895 will be doublet1 in 1896, but the present indications for such a result, are far better than those which prevailed for the increase of the present year at the clostJ of 139-i. The work of production has only fairly commenced in the Cripple Creek district, and it will probably increase in something like a geometrical ratio for many years to come. "-De¡¡rer's Republican Mr. W. Weston, M.E., a well-known authority on Cripple Creek, wrote as follows in the Denver Republican, of January 1st, 1896 :— In Cripple Creek no outside capital was used, as the mines themselves, in most cases, paid from the surface down and furnished the capital to develop them, to acquire additional territory, and to pay dividends as well" Now I know that comparisons are odious. In this in- stance I have not made them for the purpose of decrying South African mines, but to show that, while the latter have astonished the whole financial world, we have in Cripple Creek what bids fair to be a much more "wonderful thiug, and what is really, for its size and age, the greatest known goldfield in the world to-day." The first business of this Company will be as follows To take and, if it thinks tit, deal with the undennentined and other options on properties, some of which were ob- tained before the present gold fever set in, and consequently enables the Company to obtain the right of acquiring some of them on terms which the Directors consider much more favourable than had the options been obtained at a later date. The options comprise :— 1. The right to acquire one-fifth interest or less at par in one of the largest develop- ment enterprises in Colorado, comprising 200 to 300 Mining Claims in the Bare Hills district. S. The right to acquire a Patented Claim on Gold Hill, Cripple Creek. 3. The right to acquire a Patented Claim of 10 acres north-east of the "Gold King" property. 4. The right to acquire a property comprising 5, acres adjoining the "May Queen" pro- perty. S. The right to acquire a fall claim of 10 acres on "Mineral Hill," Colorado, U.S.A. 6 The right to acquire 6 Claims near the celebrated "Victor." on Bull HilL 7. The right to acquire CO Claims near the well-known Lincoln Mine. The whole of the above or other options will be purchased on the terms that the Company shall be at liberty to inspect all the properties, and purchase or reject them as they may As to the option firstly described, the one-fifth interest which the Company has the option to subscribe for at par is in shares of a proposed Company which includes, as the Directors are informed, an amalgamation of about 3000 acres, with Town sites, entire Water rights, Mill sites, and Placer sites. This enterprise, the Directors are also informed, is causing great excitement in the district, and it is exceedingly probable that the shares which this Company has a right to subscribe for will stand at a very high premium in a very !fhort time. # Valuable properties are often in the hands of individuals without the means for sufficiently developing them. The Company will make a special object of acquiring such properties on favourable terms to develop them and turn them to account, also of obtaining Leases and Options on (or purchasing) approved mining claims, acting as inter- mediaries for tbe sa1e of the same, either in America or in Europe, as ntay be considered advisable. An idea of the success which is likely to attend a develop- ment 11.11(1 promoting Company in CriPple Creek such as thIS one may be gathered from the fact that, whereas two years ago there was only one exchange in Colorado Springs and none in Cripple Creek, there are at present no less than six in these two centres. So great, in fact, is the interest in this locality throughout the States, that exchanges have been established in Chicago, New York, and other large centres, to deal in the Shares of the Mines of the Cripple Creek district. The Anglo-American Times, December 21st last, states that dealings on these exchanges in Cripple Creek mining shares amounted to 11,852,457 for the first week in December. In the New York Sun of December 1st, 1895, brief mention is made of a few famous mines in Cripple Creek, from which the following are extracts :— In fact, the United States Press devotes considerable attention to the wonderfully rich gold developments of this district. *>A gold fever appears to be already setting in in America in connection with the Cripple Creek fields, and there is little doubt that in a short time the attention of th* British public will be attracted to it; in all probability once the actual facts regarding it are known to the English investor, they will cause more excitement than even the re- cent boom in South Africa and West Australian ventures. The Denver Times, of November 27th, 1895, says, There are dozens of properties now soiling on a basis of $50,000 ( £ 10,000), which during the next twelve months will be considered cheap at$2,C00,000 ( £ 400,000)." The Company will at once dispatch experienced Agents to the field, who will superintend its operations and protect its interests there. The only contract entered into by this Company is one dated March 10th, between Joseph Sargent of the one part, and this Company of the other part, by which the said Joseph Sargent sells this Company certain options for 17,000 fully-paid Shares in this Company, and S5000 in cash. This Contract can be seen at the offices of the Solicitors of the Company. ,i, Applications for Shares should be made on'the accompany- ing form, and should be sent, together with a cheque for the Application money at the rate of 2s. 6d. per Share, to the Bankers of the Company.. Prospectuses, Forms of Application, and prints of the Memorandum and Articles of Association may be obtained at the Bankers, Solicitors, and Offices of the Company. LONDON, March, 1896.

Jlilcl, dull, damp weather prevailed throughout last week, and, though the wind occasionally shil ted to a cold quarter, it speedily blev* again from -.viiiTiipr regions. The moderate rainfall has sufficed to supply vegetation in its more immediate needs, t1, result is particularly noticeable in the case of trees and other garden plants. The dull ii-Iiielt the gieater part of the week were, on the whole, preferable to an unbroken continuance of bright sunshine, which would have stimulated vegetable growth to quite an undesirable extent. An early spring is always dangerous, from the fact that very slight frosts are capable of effect- ing great injury on precocious vegetation. As indi- cations that the season is before its time may be noted fields of rape yellow with bloom, and breadths of rye grass dotted over with the dark-green tussocks that are not usually seen till a month later. The primrose, the violet, and the moschatel are abundantly in bloom in sheltered copses, and vivid pntehes of marsh marigold are to be seen in swamps and water-meadows. The hedgerows have stirred perceptibly, and the whitethorn has broken its buds. The vernal equinox, therefore, will find out-door life very forward. Thousand-headed kale is a beautiful riant this season, and, with rape and turnips on the ground, there is plenty of succulent green food to tempt the strong lambs which are now running forward and getting the pick of the crop before the ewes follow on behind them. Large breadths of cabbage have been planted out during the mild weather of the last few weeks, so that altogether there is a wonderful prospect of keep on arable land, to say nothing of the generous way in which meadows and pastures are clothing themselves with herbage. The unremunerative prices of beef and mutton is the most disquieting feature at present, the:mild weather having rendered the trade slow and sluggish. Heavy losses are reported in recent ship- ments of live cattle and sheep from Argentina in one vessel 136 bullocks died out of 166 shipped. The import trade in frozen milk, the inception of which was viewed with some trepidation by Eng- Jisfl dairy farmers, has not yet, developed into a, flourishing industry, nor while the prices of milk that have recently been current continues to pre- vail is it likely to do so. The new Journal of the Board of Agriculture gives the quantities of fresh milk and cream imported into the United King- dom in each month of 1894 and 1895. The largest monthly import was 45,007 gallons in January, 1895, the smallest was 231 gallons in June, 1894, these quantities being valued at zC6,224 and X25 respectively. The more costly cream is not separately distinguised, a fact that probably ac- counts for wide fluctuations in value. A partition of the trade over four half-yearly periods (January to June and July to December) shows how rapidly it has been dwindling of late, the total importation of the second half of last year having fallen below 10,000 gallons,J4and its value barely exceeding i ? nnn — Quantity.

The import of 45,000 gallons in January of last year was greater than the total for the ten months March to December. The only other significant source of supply has been Holland, but since February, 1895, that country has never sent as much as 1,000 gallons in any single month. g The desirable practice of weighing cattle in British markets is slowly extending, though it is not developing so rapidly as its advocates would wish. There are 19 places scheduled under the Weighing of Cattle Act, from which returns are transmitted to the Board of Agriculture showing the number of cattle entering, the number weighed, and other details. Subjoined are the totals for the last three years, to which We have added a line denoting the percentages of cattle passed over the wp;c,hhridQ"e: r 11 1895. 1894. 1893.

Indeed, south 0f the Tweed cattle- feeders have shown little disposal to resort to the facilities which the Legislature has provided to en- able them to market their stock with a minimum of loss. The five Scotch scheduled places of Aber- deen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Perth ac- counted for 72-5 per cent. of cattle weighed in Great Britain last year. As q. rule average prices showed a slight improvement in 1395 as compared with 1894. The average value Qf prime or first quality per cwt. of live weight throughout 1895 may be said to have ranged from a minimum of 338 8d at Liverpool and 33s lOd at Shrewsbury to 36s 8d at Aberdeen and 38s in London. Out of the 14 scheduled places in England only the four markets of Liverpool, London, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Shrewsbury furnish sufficient and comparable returns of transactions for the purpose of arriving at the local course of prices. SWINE FEYER The exception above referred to has reference to swine fever, there having been 100 outbreaks in the week endiug Saturday last. This number is less than occurred in the corresPonding week of last year, when there were 122 outbreaks, but there were at that time 864 animals slaughtered as being diseased or exposed to infection as against 1,306 last week. Lancashire hadfcwo outbreaks, 114 pigs being slaughtered as diseased or having been ex- posed to disease. When we look at the figures for the 10 weeks of this year we find that in the whole country 16,046 animals were slaughtered, in con- nection with 1,207 outbreaks. These latter figures are much heavier than those of the three previous years, and they indicate either one Q £ ^wo facts, or perhaps both, namely, that there is more disease and greater vigilance is being shown in stamping it out. The following table shows the serious posi- tion the pig stock of the country is in owing to the presence of swine fever Animals Outbreaks. Slaugh'd.

It is generally known that pig-keepers are not as careful as they should be when disease occurs amongst their stock. The greatest offenders are not the farmers on the contrary, the greatest culprits are the small men, though some farmers are reckless or thoughtless. In order to trv and remove this indifference, the Board of Agriculture has issued a leaflet of Prepautions. Owners are urged to refrain from selling any part of their stock unless they are satisfied that no disease exists on the premises from which the animals are to be moved and purchasers are advised to invari- ably keep newly acquired animals separate for at least a fortnight before permitting them to be brought into association with the home herd. The disease is not infrequently introduced by means of persons who have been in Contact with diseased animals. Pig owners, therefore are advised to pre- vent strangers from at any titne approaching their pigs, and should the admission to the premises of spayers or castrators be necessary, those persons should be required, before approaching the animals, to thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water, and to wash and disinfect their boots with a solution of carbolic acid and water, or some other suitable disinfectant. Snch person might, also with advantage be required to wear, while operat- ing, a waterproof apron, which should be washed and disinfected before the Wearer is permitted to approach the animals to be operated on. The cleanliness of the sties, and the feeding of pigs on suitable foods, are measures which, although not directly calculated to protect the animals against fever, are nevertheless very desirable, with a view of keeping them in a healthy condition, and of giving them power to resist infection. OTHER DISEASES. It will be interesting to notice, also, the number of cases of other diseases, of whi. !i returns are made under the Diseases of Animals Act. So far as last week is concerned, the greatest number of outbreaks were of glanders, there being 19 cases, in which 23 animals were affected. This is a greater number than last year, though it compares very favourably with the figures of the two previous years. In Lancashire, only one animal was reported to be affected with glanders. Taking the ten weeks which have elapsed of the present year, we find 260 animals have been attacked, whilst there were more than 300 in the corresponding periods of 1895 and 1894, and over 500 in 1893. There were fewer animals found last week suffering from anthrax than in the corresponding week of the three preceding years, the number being 17, of which one waa in Lancashire; and the totals for the period since January show a small diminution, now standing at 210. No cases of pluero- pneumonia occurred last week, although one beast v.-r.s slaughtered on suspicion, but was found free I from disease. Sixteen cases or rabies were re- ported, as against 15 ill ilie corresponuing v-tek (J last year. THE OUTLOOK FOR HAY. By this time farmers will have made up their minds pretty gc-nerally as to the extent of the land they will shut down for hay. The present position of the market is, perhaps, net so strong as to induce them to extend their accustomed area in any inr.^e degree, but it should be remembered that last year did not provide good crops, and that hay stacks are not so plentiful as they ought to be. Had it not been for the mild weather, many farmers might have found themselves short of this class of forage. It has already been made clear in this column, and the experience of our readers will have substantiated it, that the hay harvest of 1S95 was disastrous. This description is borne out by the returns which the Board of Agriculture have just published. Compared with 1394, there was a fall- ing off of 2,333,000cwts of bay from permanent crops, end 331,000 from clover and rotation grasses, making the total difference on the two years' crops 2,714,000e-ts. In estimating these figures, it must be remembered that the 1894 crop was considerably above the average in yield in both cases but if the average is taken for nine years, it will be seeji that clover and rotation gr.is?--M were 1*1 per cent under the average, and the permanent grasses 4'7 under. The loss on hay alone last season, even at the moderate prices which now pre- vail, amounts to a very serious sum.

THE JOLLY MOUCHEKS INI COLLEGE…
THE JOLLY MOUCHEKS IN I COLLEGE LAND. The Jolly Mouehers are still in c-xistvnce. lint they are now a much stronger set ihsn tlx-v WMV. Last term they consisted of some half a di.tr stalwart chaps—Coll. fellows to the very ground— who were detennined to hound out cliqueism from inside the College walls. Now they have done so. Ciiqueism is a minus quantity in College land, thanks to the efforts of the Jolly Mouchers. No- thing succeeds like success—so this term several important deputations waited upon the Jolly Mouchers to seek to become members. The most important of these was the Jones's deputation. It couisted of every Jones in the College, and every Jack one of them claimed descent from Adam. It only shows how big they want to show theaiselves. This depuration was headed by the incorruptible Jones. He had a long tale to tell against the Senate. It was about a nice quiet harm- less sheep-dog that used to watch the College. That quiet dog was never made much fuss of. But when he had lost his teeth what do you think the Senate did. Why they went aad procured a fat bull dog in his place. And not only that, but they made a nice kennel for him and gave him gold embroidered covering, and let him loose to run about the whole town in chase of the pocr coll sheep. Was'nt it too bad ? asked the Incorruptible with a big tear in his eye. Be- hind the Incorruptible, stood the Welsh Billy. If you want to see how a Welsh Billy "takes to the I field, you go down to the coil-field. There he comes with bis head bent, for every billy bends its head I before it charges, and you can see from the way he walks that there is a lot of latent energy in him. but after all a gcod old sart is Billy and it was unanimously agreed to make a Moucher of him. Behind Billy stood another very like him in this respect at any rate, he doesn't believe that any man ought to work more than he can help. But his head wasn't half the size of Billy's. A queer fellow was this third chap. He grins and giggles without stopp.g, like an eight-day clock. He wanted, he said, to become a member. Well replied the Worthy Master, where do you come from ? Bath was bis reply. What is your favourite pastime ? Bath was again his reply. What is y name ? And to our great surprise he again replied Bath. Then said a member of the Mouchers who likes to use a big D sometimes, D you are all Bath." The next matter for consideration was whether he could be made a Moucher. For two hours the question was discussed. The great point was whether he would ever bring distinction to the Coll. when this point was being debated, he got up and said—"I say gents, listen to me. If 1 don't bring anything to this 'ear Coll. I am blowed if I will ever take anything e ay from it. There's cartloads of fag here, but you bet that I am going to leave it all behind me. So you need not get excited. All the learning in goll. will never be less because I havebeenhere. My palandme—I meanJimandme— only want to be as lucky bls Empty, and get a Coll. girl each but as for your Coll. distinction, none of it for me. Why, I never took anything home from school except the measles." And so—" It is alright exclaimed the chief of the Mouchers, we have made you a Moucher, for this Coll. would certainly not be complete without its Bath. Among the other Joneses was Reading-Room-Committee- Extinguisher Jones; or in its shortened form R. E. Then there was little Ho who took an extra pot of jam one day for his tea because he found that Jones Ho rhymed with Milo. Then there is hyphened-Jones, who claims descent from Wallace. There is a lot to be said about these. But this we will now keep until the next report is sent in. Something will be said too about His Majesty Hughes and what happened to him when he was taking his daily constitutional walk—which he takes thirteen times every day—between the Queen's and Balmoral. Then there is a report —a long one too—about the tin gee-gee found in the water—house. And the Mouchers have decided to present a medal to Mephistopholes for his dili- gence in preparing his speeches in such good time that he is able to get them printed by the time they are wanted. All this will appear in thj next Mouchers' report. But something must be said of the Long-Legged Deputation which waited upon the Mouchers to seek their support to expel the knicker-bockered kids who have shoved themselves into college-land. They consisted of four. The first was known because of the deep interest which he takes in Thorpe's Dictionary of Applied Chemistry the second always asks whomsoever he meeLs" How arithou"? andheisso meek and mild that once when he went home to tea, nearly famished, he waited fora whole hour, rather than disturb the little fly which was sipping the milk on the table. The third fellow has a history. He advertised for a co-digger; and will yon believe it, he had a proposal from a girl who thought that he was advertising for a wife. So he changed the advertisement so as to read Wanted, a twin-birch." And the fourth fellow was Sammie Pickle, who was mistaken in the dusk of the twilight for the Prince of Wales's agent in advance. But as Sammie afterwards said it was that toffish cap of his which put the people on his track. What these said is held over for a future number of the COUNTY* TIMES.
HOME AND FOREIGN BUDGET.
HOME AND FOREIGN BUDGET. President Kruger's visit to England is now re- garded as certain at Pretoria. The President says it is true that a section of the burghers is opposed to his coming to this country, but he is convinced that the opposition will disappear when the negotiations on the points to be discussed are arranged. Mr Picton-Jones, whilst hunting with the Angle- sey hoHnds on Saturday at Llanbadrig, was thrown from his horse, and, it is feared, has sustained injuries of a serious character. He was removed to Trescawen Hall. It is reported that the French intend to impose the extreme Protectionist tariff on all goods imported into Madagascar from. non-French countries. A Calcutta telegram conveys the unwelcome news that distress, due to the failure of the winter rains, is increasing among the native population in the North-West and Central provinces of Rajputana. The Association football match between England and Wales at Cardiff on Monday resulted in a victory for England by nine goals to one. An old man named Wilham Cromwell was sentenced to death at Leeds on Monday for the murder of an old woman named Baxendall at Birkenshaw, near Dewsbury. The crime was one of a particularly odious character, and the jury found the prisoner guilty without leaving the box. The man Hindson, who was sentenced to death at Warwick for procuring the death ofMabel Gordon and John M'Cann, convicted of murder at Armagh: has been reprieved. An Egyptian battalion which will form part of the force for the invasion of the Soudan left Cairo on Monday for Wady Haifa. The coroner's inquiry; as to the deaths of two passengers in the Great Northern express near Grantham was concluded on Tuesday. The evid- ence showed that the permanent way had subsided, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental deaths, but coupled with a suggestion that great care should be taken to ensure that newly ballasted road beds were fit for the passage of trains at a high speed. The responsibility for the atrocious murder of a young girl at Birmingham has been fixed on the young man Frank Taylor, and he now awaits his trial at the assizes. His parents are charged with being accessories after the fact. The Cambrian Railways Company intend running a special late train oni Thursday, April 2nd, and Saturday, April 4th, for Aberystwyth and inter- mediate stations, leaving Whitchurch at 5.20 p.m. This train will have connections from ali important centres, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, London, Birmingham, &c., will enable Easter excursionists to leave home in the afternoon of each of these days, and get to their destination on the same day. The St. Patrick's Day celebration m Landon took the form of a banquet in honour of Mr. Justin M'Carthy, M.P. The chair was taken by Mr. Dillon, M.P., who delivered an impassioned exhortatian to Irishmen to be united in promotion of the interests of their country. A Wigan surgeon was sued at the Liverpool Assizes on Tuesdayfor alleged unskilful treatment of a patient whose hand had been injured. There was an interesting conflict of evidence, but the jury returned a verdict in favour of the defendant. The Home Secretary has reprieved Thomas Dixon, the man who was sentenced to death for the double murder at Jarrow.
