The wealthest individual who dabbles in
Wall street OF course is William II. Wander
yilt. He did not appear as heavy operator
until after the death of his father, the late
Commodore Vanderbilt, who left his favored
son SOS, 100000. Since that time he has
added 10 his vast capital by ludlcious in
vestments, until now he is credited with be-
ing worth S120,0O0,000. This is divided up

trail, and Chicago & Northwestern stock. He
is the heaviest individual holder of govern
ment securities in the world, his daily in
terest account from this source alone
amounting to nearly $500 Jay Gould
ranks next TO Vanderbilt, his wealth being
estimated at 76,000,0 CO.,. which, with the
exception of $4,000 in real estate, is all in
vested in railroad and telegraph securities.
The honor of being the third largest posses
sor Of wealth on Wall street, is divided be-
tween several gentlemen who touch their
holdings by the millions, and who are vari-
ously estimated to be worth from 81 100000
TO $10,0O0.OO0. Among those are James r.
Keene, ID. @. Mills, and Thomas Maitland.
When Mr.. Kcene made his debut in Wall
street a few years ago, he was cred

cisco TO Wall street Sll 10000. Since
then he has met many severe reverses.

the caution be exercises in making invest

A BUTTE
Rich Ore Coming Out OF m Lexington
Mine.

The rich strike recently reported in Davis
Lexington mine is developing into greater
and richer proportions. On the water level
about 100 feet deep, on the parallel or north
vein, the ore is almost fabulously rich.
Above the new strike a seven foot vein of
ore assaylng 260 ounces per ton in silver and
$50 per ton in gold was considered big, but
the new strike, apparently, opens a new zone
of rich ore, in comparison with which the
Lexington's former products will be counted
low grade.
At the office Of the Lexington, ON east
Broadway, there is row on exhibition one of
the largest, richest and finest specimens Of
silver-bearing rock ever taken out in the
Summit valley district. This specimen shows
silver in purity and in profusion and the eye
readily detects the precious metal which is
infused and dItfused through the rock in rich
quantities. 1t was broken off of a large
lump of equally rich ore found in the north
parallel vein of the Lexington at water level.
Experts say this rock will assay, easily, from
$1,000 to $4,000 to the ton. The body of
rich ore looks as though it was only in It's first
stages of development.

A Deserrer slashes n Man and Then Tries
10 XIII Himself.

The Benton Daily Record Of the 18th,
publishes the particulars Of an attempted
murder and suicide at Fort Shaw. 1t ap-
pears that a soldier named O'Brien, of the
18th infantry, a worthless character, was dis
charged from the service for desertion a short
time ago. After his discharge, up to the
time of this affair, O'Brein kept himself full
to the neck with whisky, and one night
recently, in one of his drunken escapades, so
exposed himself to the cold that he was
severely frost bitten. lie was taken into the
hospital at Shaw and cared for. Being cut
off from his liquor, the reaction, as it often
does, craZed him, and yesterday afternoon,
the 18th inst, without a warning, he seized a
knife and stabbed a hospital nurse named
Litchteld quite severely. With great diff
Guilty he was ovcrpowered and removed to
the post guard room. Here O'Brien attemp-
ted to take his own life, his Instrument being
the lid of the stove warming the room. The
Wounds inflicted upon himself were all about
his head, which was frightfully cut, one
wound being about four inches long, extend
ing from his crown to the forehead. He was
taken back to the hospital and his wounds
were dressed by DR.. Newman. 1t is doubt
full whether he will recover.
