There is considerable gossip here
about Senator J. P. Jones, Of Nevada.
He has had more ups and downs, per-
haps, than any other rich man in the
country. He has been supposed to
be worth $15,OOO,0Oo to SIC, o0O,0 900,
and again to be as poor as a church
mouse. His methods of doing bust
ness are so loose that he scarcely ever
knows whather he is solvent or not.
For four or Eve years it has been we'll
understood that he was far from pros.
porous. Then it became known tina,
no had struck a gold mine in Alaska
with some California people, which
was lifting him out of his difficulties
The adage that it never rains but il
peurs seems to hold good in his case
He discovered, few days ago, it ii

property near Los Angeles, CAL, with
an extent of $4,000 or 100000 acres
which he mortgaged TO the Nevad,
Bank in his days of trouble. The
land was then considered worth abou
81 an acre Jones never paid any
attention to the mortgage, supposinf
that the property had been gobble'
up long ago to pay it. Recently h
discovered that he held the title, ant
that the property had gone up il
value, and is now worth $15 or $2'
an acre-enough in itself to maxi
him big fortune after the loan j
paid off. On top of this comes tn
rise in value of the Consolidated Cal
ifornia & Virginia mining stock. il
which he has some interest. Tn
stock has been down as low as /
cents. 1t is now selling at SO. O
course everybody who knows Senate
Jones is gratiied with his prospect.
as he is one of the most genial men il

WHY OUR GOLD BELT CLAIMS ARE
IN SUCH FAVOR.

Lead seems to hover about the
1926 limit, and silver elbows an un-
mistakable disposition to depreciate
10 price; but gold still remains gold
still the one superlatively sought
after metal, and nothing seems to af-
feet its value unfavorably. This
should encourage the owners OF gold
claims to do their utmost to make
them productive.
A gold mine once opened to the
yielding stage has never been known
to be shut down until an enormous
amount had been extracted. Nor are
there any discounts to fear from
glutting of the market, because the
demand for gold is steadily increasing
1t is probably because Of this thai
our Gold Belt claims prove so deslra
BILE to investors. They know that il
they once get paying property there
it will never cease paying for grea
many years, and then not until its ore
deposits shall have been exhausted
And it is probable that the inquir
for that class OF claims has but jus
begun.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. S.-A seri-
Gus affray took place this morning
at the Henry Clay Coke Works of
Prick & Co., near Broadford.-
About 800 strikers from Leisenring
marched this morning to the Henry
Clay Works, where a few men we're
at work. Several men were slightly
injured. One of them, Wyatt, the
coke-charge, who was beaten by the
strikers for refusing to quit work a
day or two ago, returned the fire.
He shot several times and hit one of
the men, who fell and was carried
off by his comrades. He was an
Italian named Saggy, and is thought
to be fatally wounded. This infur-
lated the strikers, who attacked
William Scissor, the foreman of tho
men, and gave him severe beating.
The strikers then made an attack
upon the tipple house, drove the
men in charge out of it and upset
the Office stove, which caused the
building to be set on fire.

The reply of the Martinsburg
Statesman to an article in the Mon
roe Watclmaa, addressed to editor
Colston, reminds us of the little boy
who went out to shoot birds. Late
i'll the evening he started from
home with his fathers old musket
on his shoulder, as brave as any
one. Having walked just out of
sight of the house he approached an
open cornfleld in which stood a
number of old deadened trees, which
through the dim twilight of coming
night threw their CHASTITY limbs
across the horizon. On one of these
limbs perched an old owl with three
of her children by her side. See
ing the enemy steal along the fence,
the old owl sentinel exclaimed very
audlbly, "Who? Who? Who ~
The little boy, not fully comprehend
ing the situation, and willing to do
anything to be saved, suddenly ex-
claimed, "No, nam, l didn't come
out to shoot BIRDS" and scampered
off for home.

Cincinnati is likely to get into hot
water again, in fact the whole State
has been in a turmoil ever since the
Inauguration of Republican admin.

moved the Democratic Board OF
Police Commissioners and the Board
has resolved not to surrender. until
formally evicted by lawful consti.
tuted Court.-Statesmaa.
1t makes difference whose OK is
gored. Out in Ohio the Democratic
Police Commissioners refuse tn
allow Republican Governor to
remove them. They should set a
better example to the Republican
Office holders throughout the nation.
Remember that the people of Ohio
at the last election decided that
Republicans should be on guard. II

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

Great excitement and indignation
were caused in this community in
the early part of the week, by the re-
port and subsequent developments of
a rape committed upon white girl
by colored man. Many exagger-
ated accounts were in circulation and
threats of lynching, but fortunately
better Judgment prevailed. the hasty
excitement subsidized under the deter
mined stand taken by the Authorities
and the Court that the law should
take its course. The prisoner now
will have his trial at the next term in
March or April, and if guilty will
suffer the penalty. While there is
not much danger now of the law be-
ing interfered with, yet it is advisable
that every precaution be continued to
the end. The following are the facts
in the case, as near as we can ascer-
tain:--
Miss Mollie Feller, young lady
aged about %, of good appearance, -
the daughter of Geo. III. Teller, la
boring man living near town east of
the Cemetery,-had been for several
months living in the family of Mr..
Andrew Marstella in Baltimore. She
came home on Sunday on the dinner
train, and started from the Martins
burg depot, walking down the rail-
road around the curve in the direc-
ton of her parents house. The pris-
oner, Joe Burns, colored man, who
had served one term in the peniten-
tiary, met her at the first cut below
the bridge. He told her to come
over to the side he was on, as if to
warn her that train was coming on
her side of the road. She was then
assaulted her clothes were torn; sew
eral bruises inflicted, and according
to her testimony his purposes were
accomplished. After that her mon
ey was taken. Some boys approach
ing frightened him away. She pur-
sued her course home and informed
her parents, her father coming to
town and making information. The
colored man came on to town, follow
Ell by the boys, and entered the house
of Alex. Gibson, colored shoemaker,
where Mayor Lambert with. some as
sistance arrested h m. Monday
morning when the hour for hearing
came before Justice Matthaei, large
crowd had collected and threats were
made. The hearing was had in one
of the rooms at the Court House, and
the prisoner was committed to Jail for
trial at the next term of Court. Miss
Teller appeared at the preliminary
trial against him. While the crowd
was collected; Blackburn Hughes,
Esq, spoke to the people and ex.
planned that the law covered the
ground. This satisfied them. Judge
Faulkner very wisely ordered a strong
guard on duty and extra police were
put on force. This we believe is a
plain statement of facts. For the
rest the law and the trial will be suf
! ficIent.
