A miner who recently went to

oped an ore chute 10 feet in
lsng'h, that will average from six
inches to two feet Of good ore. A
shaft coming down from above fol.
lowed the ore $50 feet to the tunnel
level. The owrs rs estimated that
they have over $4,000 in sight, net,

says, is \ very conservative one. The

the opinion of those who have visited
the property that future developments
will prove it to be on the same lode.
The owners of this group certainly
deserve their good luck. They have
now been at work on their claim for
more than three years, not only put.
ting IN their own labor but employing
several men to aid them in the work
Of development. Their ground was
covered with heavy surface wash and

FAMOUS SONGS.
Who Their Authors Were, and What They
Got for Them.

Who Their Authors Were, and What They
Got for Them.
New York Graphic: Foster got $4,000
for writing "Old Folks at Home"
Charles Dibbin Melted several weeks
board for writing poor Jack" while his
publishers made $4,000 out of it.
Robert Treat Paine wrote Eye Sons of
Columbia" early ia 1900, under the title
of adams and Liberty" and he was
paid $3.50 for it.
America" was written by tho Rev,
Samuel Francis Smith in 1882, and 1t
was FIRST sung In Boston on the Fourth
Of July Of that year.
Columbia, the Gem Of the Ocean,"
was written by Thomas A. Beckett, an
English actor, who in 1879 was a teach
or of music at Philadelphia.
The tune of "John Browns Body" is
of Methodist Camp meeting origin. 1t
was adapted to its present use by an
organist in HARVARD church in 1861.
Crouch, the writer of kathleen Nav
ourneen," received $25 for the produc-
ton, and afterwards became a begging
tramp, while his publisher could have
built brown stone front out of its sale.
"The Star Spangled Banner" was
written by Francis Scott Key while
watching the bOmbardment of Fort Nc
Henry in 1914. The song was printed in
the Baltimore American eight days af-
ter the battle under the title of "The de-
Tense of Fort McHenry."
George P. Morris wrote "Woodman,
Spare That Tree" because the purchaser
of friends estate wanted to cut down
tree which his grandfather had plant
ed. His friend paid the purchaser $40
to spare it. Morris was so touched by
the story that he wrote the song.
John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet
Home" was written for an opera. 1t was
first sung in the Convent Garden theater
at London and made big hit. One
hundred thousand copies were sold the
first year, and by the end Of the second
it's publishers had cleared $4,000 from
it,
The author of Maryland, My Mary
land" lives at Washington. He writes
gossipy letters to the Augusta Chronicle.
His name is James R. Randall, and he
is a modest looking dark complexiOned
man of ~. He was very young when he
wrote that beautiful poem. His ideas
are broader now.
"Hail Columbia" was written by Jos
Hopkinson in the summer of 1893, and
it was first called the Presidents
March," 1t was always sung when Wash
ington came into the theater, and one OF
the objects of its writing was the Guilt

lished list of the electors on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and says they are the same
as those on the peoples ticket" except
the name of Jonathan w. Flanders,
which heads the list. 1t Is not so. The
Peoples party are in no way Identified
with that mORstrOsity. The Greenbaek
Convention made itself party to the
unnatural pact, but 1t did not represent
the peoples party.
The Detroit Free Press also says that
spurious tickets will be put aflOat con-
tanning the namesvOf some Republicans
instead of the Democratic electors. Ii
there is danger of this the Free Press
does right in cautiOning the people
against 1t, and am glad to join 1t in
doing so, For this reason the names OF
IL @ electors on the Peoples ticket are
given above. and there is not a Repub.
lican among them-nOr Democrat
either. All who wish to vote the PeO-
pies ticket should see that their ticket
contains the names above, and those
only. These tickets may DO found at
nearly every poll in the state, printed
with the portrait of Gen Butler, on gum
med papers, so that they will not only be
convenient for use, but easy Of identifi-
cation.
The fusion outrage is claimed by the
guilty parties to it as contract, binding
on the part of the Democrats who were
represented by their state convention,
and on the part of the Greenbackers who
were nOminally represented by the con-
yention held in Detroit, Aug 10, and 20,
If the parties had right to thus con-
tract and to bind their constituency,
this alleged contract is void, because
Ne contract is binding that is founded
in fraud.
No contract is binding that is founded
in immortality.
No contract is binding that is mon.
strous in its terms.
The alleged fusion contract is void, be-
ing founded in fraud, because Gen. But
Ter was mislead into recommending II
| by the representations OF persons III
Michigan in whom he had confidence.
1t is void because founded In the most
fragrant political immortality.
It is void, being mOnstrOus in its terms
because it Is an attempted alliance be.
tween forces having no elements OF
sympathy or affinity.
But the parties assuming to contract
had no authority to make such con.
tract. They exceeded their functions
and were false TO their trust In doing 30
Whatever semblance of contract there
may be is void because of want Of pow.
