and the average Of them all was 143
ounces silver and 60 per cent. lead.
This result challenges comparison.
The Weld of the Leadvile ores is, at
present, less than 20 ounces. High
freights and huctuatng lead
market are practically immaterial
factors, but under the most adverse
the lead in our ores
will pay for extraction, reduction and
transportation, leaving the net yield
in silver per ton still greater than that
of any mining district in America.
No place ever offered better induce
.ments to mining men than this, wheth-
err they be rich or poor. A man with
"a hundred weight of ore can get its
value with the same facility that a
placer miner can sell an ounce of gold
dust. The poor man with claim
which yields II little ore is as indie
pendent of capital as the farmer who
suhsists upon his own crops.
There is room for everybody, and
though fortune is perhaps not less
tickle here than in other spots of
earth, opportunities are certainly more
numerous. and fortunes await the
lucky and the perseveriEg.

A Gallant Army Officer Dead.
CAPT. W. P. CLARK, THE INDIAN FIGHTER, PAS


CAPT. W. P. CLARK, THE INDIAN FIGHTER, PASSES
AWAY.
Capt. W. P. Clark, Of the I'd cavalry, died at s26
l4th street, in this city, this morning. Of pertons,
after very short Illness At the time OF his death
he was on special duty at the army headquarters,
being attached to Gen. Sherdan's staff. He was
engaged in compiling history OF the northern In
dian tribes concerning whose customs and charac-
teristcs he was particularly well Informed. In
this work he devoted special attention to the sign
language, which Is the same with all Indian tribes,
and in this respect he is said to have been an eX
pert, being better posted than any other white
man. At the time OF his death he had completed
the manuscript OF his work, so that the govern
ment will reap the benefit OF his long experience
and intimate acquaintance witifthe Indians. He
graduated from West Point In 1858, and from that
time until about 1896, when Gen. Sheridan selected
him for this special duty, he saw almost continu-
GUS frontier service, making name for himself in
the Nez Perces and Sitting Bull campaigns. He
was very popular In the service, and his excellent
qualities and abilities were recognized by his
brother officers. Gen. Sheridan had very high
opinion OF him, and had there been a vacancy on
his staff, Capt. Clark would have undoubtedly been
selected to I'LL 1t. The brother Of the deceased Will
accompany the remains tonight to his former
home, in New York state.
