n Discoserer Of the Rig Horn Mime
Leaves q Fortune to q shoemaker.

Ths D~iscoserer Of the Big Horn Mime
Leaves . Fortune to . Shoemaker.
Patrick Ryan of this town. q shoemak-
or, single. 30 years Of age,h has received
notice of the death of his brother in Chi
cago. BY his death he is the-only heir.
It was early in 1s49 that James Ryan,
then . young man, left Milford in COM
pany with Richard Quinlan and with
hundreds OF Others went to the golden
gate to seek their fortune in the gold
fields of California.
They remained there forseversA years,
but the mine they worked in, although
rich in ore, was far from healthy and
was particularly bad for tho eyes, so
much 80 that young Ryan's eyes were
affected and he was forced to come east
to have them attended to, for he was al
most blind.
Young Ryan recovered his sight after
q few years, but the east was rather
tame for him, and again he went west.
His second trip was to Colorado. The
silver fever had just broken out, and
Leadville was not known. Denver was
a town Of few houses when James Ryan
arrived there with a companion. They
were not long prospecting before they
struck a mine that proved a great find.
They sold it for 100000. This Yves the
first big money that Ryan aver made,
although it was but a small amount as
compared with what he afterward made
in the mining world.
He remained but o short time in Dem
YER, when, in company with his partner,
they went to Utah, where they prospect
ed for nearly a year, but were only sue
cessful in getting small finds. They were
all about to bid Utah goodby when they
struck traces of silver, the ore proving
the finest they ever met with.
The seam was followed and proved
better than they ever dreamed they
would see. This was no other than the
Big Horn silver mine that they sold for
81, 000, 900.
The money vas equally divided be-
tween the partners. The money market
always had a charm for Ryan, and he
lost a great deal among the bulls and
bears in Chicago. More than once he
was tightly squeezed by old man Hutch
inson, who was in his prime in those
days.
But the hidden treasure beyond the
Rockies had charms also for him that he
could not overcome, and after losing
what to many q man would be called a
good sized fortune he returned to his
old love Of adventure and prospecting.
Again he proved successful and be-
came the owner of several mines that
brought him immense wealth.
Mr.. Ryan does not know the exact
amount of his brothers wealth, no will
he for a few days to come. Mr.. Percy
Shea of Denver is to have charge of set
thing up the estate. -Milford Cor. Bos-

They did not press her. When the funeral
of Mamie took place, among the mourn

their arrival home Mr.. Mcdonald tried
to learn the secret between his daughter
anu the deal girl. She refused to d.

After supper Jennie said she would
retire early and went to her room. In

Ripple used to kill herself. and which she
had secreted, and stole out of the house.

Better Than a Savings Bank

be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
it pays large interest to its deposit
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis OF all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely, as it
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said Of perishable prop
erty.
The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a
HOME,
or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
emit indeed, as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner of a home sometime, but
the masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own. when a little exercise of
good Judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home,
and the money which they spend
for rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comforts
and enjoyment of life, or laid by
for a "rainy day"
They who arrive at the shady
side" of life
WITHOUT A HOME
are indeed to be pitied. Contrast
the condition of the person who
owns his own home with the one
who rents. Which will you select?
You can have either condition; it
remains for you to decide. The
wisest and most prosperous people
in this country Ire purchasing all
the real estate their mean will
admit of, and are advising their
friends to do likewise. A very
intelligent and wealthy old gen.
tleman who resides in Illinois, and
who has travelled extensively and
been very observing, wrote US a
few days ago, and in his letter he
said:
Real estate in your section OF
country must very soon be in ac-
tive demand at much advanced
prices, as all of the good, cheap
lands are gone, and your lands
must command prices equal to
those of the states just east of you,
and your citi S, especially such
BUSINESS centers as Madison, must
grow rapidly and city lots advance
in value accordingly. 1 look upon
investments in real estate in your
locality as the best that can be
made at this time"
Opinions coming from men of
this character are of value and
should be needed.
IL the possession of a home were
not within your reach, how earnest
would be your wish that it was,
and how great your anxiety to be
the happy possessor of a piece OF
this earth you could call your own.
While there is now a most favor
able opportunity for securing such
a home, do you know that this OPP
portunity will soon disappear, and
