SPECTACLES

II within our homes we would use tho sama

That we use when we visit next door,
And search for the flaws as we did over there,
think we would find many more.
Ii we'd use the same "specks" when we look
at ourselves
That we don when our company's near,

Or astonished we'd be. never fearl

For their own use q kind deftly made,
With the glasses all darkened, to hide half the
view,
80 their own faults remain In the shade.
But the ones which they use when at others
they glance
Have the glasses transparency clear,
With power to magnify things twice the size
That the same through the dark ones appear.
Now think that the world would much hap
pier be
II the specks, once for all, we would change,
And within our own rooms use the spectacles
clear,
With the dark for the much broader range.
Then, the faults that appear to us jaggedly

Would melt into outlines so fair
We would find that the world was q beautiful

And good people lived everywhere.

Luck of Man who Located Mine Claims
to Please an Importunate Friend.
]. A. Deneen, of this city. will have
his available assets increased nearly
81, COO 600 by the sale of six mining
claims in Wyoming, which he here
tofore regarded as valueless. They
are located in the Wood River min
ing district, Fremont county, Wv.
and were taken up by Deneen and
Billy Thompson, an old time pros
pector, in the spring of 1885. About
that time Deneen was superintend
ent of large cattle ranch in Wyo
ming, the property of Harry Gel
richs, brother of Herman Oelrichs.
AS Deneen now tells the story, he
located the claims as mere lark
and never expected to realize any
thing from them.
Deneen says that Billy Thompson
was a frequent visitor at his ranch
house, and was continually signing
about the wealth that was hidden be-
meath the surface in the Wood river
mining district, about 300 miles north
of Oelrichs ranch. Thompson be
moaned his fate that he had no one
to stake him SO that he could strike Il
mine
One day, partly from commisera
ton for Thompson, Deneen in
formed him that he would not only
grub stake him, but would accom-
pany him on a prospecting tour. Old
Thompson would not accept the
proposition unless Deneen would
agree to accept oneh half the proceeds
of the expedition. They set off to-
gether and were gone for several
months, during which time the twain
located about a dozen promising
claims. The expense of holding
them all was something more than
Deneen had bargained for, SO he re
leased those that gave the least prom
Use and retained six of the claims.
Thompson, with the eye of an ex
perienced prospector, declared that
thar was furtun in them claims.
Deneen, however, on several occa
sions. was on the eve of releasing his
claim to the locations, but he had a
superstitious feeling about letting
them go. On several occasions De
neen has been offered $4,000 for his
mines, but he did not think that was
sufficient inducement for him to
part with them, although he admits
that if the offer had been doubled he
would have gleefully accepted it.
The claims are rich in copper, silver
and gold bearing ore, but, as the dis
trict has not as yet been developed to
any great extent, to properly work
the mines would require the invest
ment of large capital.
Recently, however, W. S. Healthy,
the agent for an English syndicate,
has been investigating the Wood
river district, with the result that he
was greatly impressed by the rich
ness of the claims in which Deneen
is part owner. He made an offer
of $50, 900 for the property. This lib
eral tender somewhat opened the
eyes of John Corbett, the postmasterl
at Lander, the county seat of FIR
mont county, who is acting as
mems agent in the matter Co
considered that the mines were
more, and by his able barta

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
the particulars of a remarkable cure
that fairly outrivals the cele brated
case of John Marshall of Hamilton,
which created such sensation through
out the country. The particulars OF
the case are vouched for by the Albany
Evening Journal, recognized as the
leading newspaper at the New Yorl,
State capital, and one of the leading
papers of the United States. There is,
therefore, no room to doubt that the
particulars of the case are accurately
and carefully set forth, in every respect
true, and must therefore prove of the
deepest interest to our readers. We
therefore commend the article to their
careful pernsal.

Even the sharp raid on Missouri Pa

able amount Of long stock. Various no.
ports from Europe in regard to tho in
ternatlonal monetary conference and

measure introduced in Congress today,
failed to have any decided influence on
tho stock market and. for that matter,

The improvement in tho share list
was equal to N@1h per cent, with

Distilling and Cattle Feeding advanced
in the face OF heavy sales for short

AN OLD LANDMARK GONE.

WoIkmen Busiiy Engaged in Touring
Down the Old Trout Honse
In order to build an addition to the
Ponce de Leon, Proprietor Smith is
tearing down the oldest building in all
this part OF the country. The old Trout
mansion, as it is called, was built in
1897 by Michael Slower. 1t was then.
as it always has boon. until the Ponce
de Leon was finished, used as a hotel
and was considered the finest building
for hundreds of miles around Mr..
Slower was wont to go out any morning
before breakfast and kill a deer, in this
immediate neighborhood
Where tho business part OF the citv
now stands were arshes and swan ps.
In the heat of the summer, many Of
these would dry up and leave the ground
white with salt Hero the deer from
tho surrounding country would congre-
gate and lick up tho sail, and frop this
the name OF Big Lick was derived
Michael Slower made his living by
raising geese on tho swamp, selling
honey and by hunting wild game. In
1912 Hon. John Trout, the father OF
Mayor Trout, bought the place, which
he owned until his death Almost from
under tho building gushes a large
spring, which, it is claimed. has never
been dry these hundred years.
In tho old house the childhood days
OF our distinguished mayor and OK SEN
alor we're spent. The history of tho
ones it has sheltered and seen grow old
would fill many interesting volumes
Mayor Trout said to TINES man yes
terday that he was sorry to sec the dear
old house torn to pieces.
